Crusader Spanish Scutarii - Completed

Added the shields; about half of them are LBMS transfers and the rest hand-painted simple designs.
The bottom two rows are the shields with LBMS transfers. The top two are the hand-painted ones - the one on the top right is a spare Gripping Beast Celt/Gaul shield. One more shield was needed as a Wargames Factory converted Numidian was added to the unit; plus the command set doesn't supply one for the musician.
This unit will be part of a Carthaginian 2nd Punic War in Italy army.

    Your "wash" method for speedy painting is really working for you.

  6. I agree, the whole unit looks good, and the shields are exceptional -- both decals and hand painted.

  7. You've done a lovely job with the hand painted shields being as detailed as the decal ones. They mix in seamlessly well. Lovely work.

  8. Thanks for the nice comments, Gents! Spanish Scutarii are great for painting. The figures themselves are pretty basic - tunic with "purple" borders - funky hide helmets, and simple yet stunning shield patterns. Best, Dean
