Umm... to avoid "going insane" :oP while painting my 15mm Romans, I should have aimed for roughly about 100 to 200 figures. This number of figures would cover a standard "full" army for most popular ancient wargaming rulesets without reaching the level of a multi-year "megaproject" but!.. how much is too much painting and deploying your minis on the tabletop - not enough! :o))

15mm Ancient Lusitanians

Lusitani, an Iberian people living in what is now Portugal who resisted Roman aggression in the 2nd century BC. It is uncertain to what extent the Lusitani were Celticized, though they may have been related to the Celtic Lusones of northeastern Iberia. They first clashed with the Romans in 194 bc and joined the Celtiberians in a war against the Roman presence that lasted until 179 bc.

War broke out again in 153 bc, and under the leadership of Viriathus, an excellent strategist who managed to unite many Celtiberian tribes against the Romans, the Lusitani inflicted a series of defeats (c. 147–c. 139) on Roman troops from their military camp on the Hill of Venus (Sierra S. Vincente in Spain). After Viriathus was assassinated by his aides at Roman instigation, the Lusitanians were subdued. The name Lusitania was given to a Roman province later established (27 bc) in central Portugal.

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.
