At last, I have finished the armies for the Battle of Lake Trasimene for the game at Sheffield Triples this coming weekend. Here are some shots of the figures ready for packing.
Breakdown:
ROMAN ARMY
Cavalry: 8 units of 8 figures = 64
Hastati: 8 units of 24 figures = 192
Principes: 6 units of 24 figures = 144
Triarii: 6 units of 12 figures = 72
Velites: 8 units of 12 figures = 96
Command: 7 stands, 15 figures total
Total 583
CARTHAGINIAN ARMY
Spanish Cavalry: 4 units of 12 = 48
Numidian Cavalry: 6 units of 8 figures = 48
Gallic Cavalry: 4 units of 12 figures, 1 unit of 16 figures = 64
Libyan Spearmen: 6 units of 24 figures = 144
Spanish Scutarii: 4 units of 36 figures = 144
Gallic Warband: 6 units of 44 figures = 264
Spanish Caetrati: 3 units of 12 figures = 36
Balearic Slingers: 4 units of 8 figures = 32

Next up on the painting list, the last of the Romans and two elephants for a big Trebia battle, a mere 100 figures or so. Then I'll be finishing off the other national contingents, Gallic, Spanish and African, a rather more substantial 800 odd. Ho Hum, but at least I'm down to three figure totals.
