15mm Spanish Celtiberians

Celtiberians were a group of Celtic-speaking tribes who inhabited the central and eastern regions of the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain) from the 6th century BC until their assimilation into the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC. They emerged from the intermingling and cultural migrating Celtic tribes from Central Europe and mixed in with indigenous Iberian peoples.

15mm Old Glory Miniatures:
Painted 48 elements (144 figures) as Scutarii - Irr Bd (F)
(16 elements are swordsmen and 32 elements armed spears)

These elements/army will be used to :o) destroy Republican Romans! :o) well I hope!

Updated with more pictures below and still some photos are again :o) blurry!

15mm Arab Conquest

ARAB CONQUEST 622 AD -660 AD

  

Completed more add-on Arab Conquest units(elements) for DBM and/or DBMM
Under DBMM Muslim swordsmen - Irr Bd (O) @ 5AP 16-48 elements may be regraded as Irr Wb(F) 3AP

I decided to mix the figures with swordsmen and spearmen

In DBM BK3:

16 elements x Wb(S)

8 x elements Bw(O)

4 x elements Ps(O) slingers

I have about 90 Arab Conquest figures to paint Cavalry and some Infantry but putting on hold for this project, to busy painting my Ancient Iberian Spanish units.... Iberian Celtiberians posting coming soon..

cheers!
