Chasseurs à cheval de la ligne

A new cavalry unit for my French Napoleonic army: chasseurs à cheval of the 7th regiment. 

Parthians - DBA II/37

Horses, many horses. It's what you need when you got a bit bored by blades, spears and warbands, in a word by all those foot units moving slowly on the battlefield (psiloi excluded). Parthians got to be the right choice and ended up rocking pretty well in war; I would say an effective combination of heavy and light cavalry. And the few fast foot units guarantee speed. Watch out artillery, though.

Foot archers (3Bw)

Javelinmen (3Aux)

Theban army - DBA II/5c

After the Athenians, here come the Thebans.  I always been fascinated by the story of the sacred band of Thebe. That's the reason why I decided to the have a Theban army in my collection. Hat figures may be not as good as the Zvezda ones I used for the Athenians, but I am sure those two elements of 8Sp will rock in battle.

Later Chartaginian - DBA II/32

I took a break from nappies. Ancients were calling, punic wars are planned for Easter break. Here comes my speed-painted speed-based DBA Chartaginian army. Playing with an unpainted army is stain on my honor. 

(and speed-taken pictures)

The ARMY

GENERAL and CAVALRY 

Hannibal and the standard bearer (no standard yet, lost in some box) are from Art Miniaturen. The rest is Numidian cavalry by ZVEZDA.

By Hät is the pachyderm. The slingers are by ZVEZDA.

The LIGHT HORSES

ZVEZDA Numidian light cavalry.

The SPEARS

Spearmen from the ZVEZDA Chartaginian infantry box.

The AUXILIA

Spanish scutati (?) from the ZVEZDA Chartaginian infantry box.

The PSILOI

African caetrati by ZVEZDA, the slinger on the left by Hät, the other slinger by ZVEZDA

Napoleonic French Line Infantry (last episode)

Got to the bottom of the box. Grenadiers are painted as well. I need a break, better take a pause from nappies and do some ancients. Ehm...that foor artillery disagrees.

Napoleonic French Line Infantry (episode 3)

Mesdames et messieurs, voici les voltigeurs! Quality of painting decreased in favor of speed; I want to get to the end of that mesmerizing Hät box as fast as I can. Yet, I look at them and I am satisfied. Pity I cannot find a wargame mate here in Lomé and see them vaulting on the battlefield.

Napoleonic French Line Infantry (episode 2)

My petite armée is getting grande. 32 more infantrymen to the list.
