This is the last of the Spanish Scutarii I had to paint up for my 28mm Carthaginian army. These are wearing assorted randomly-colored 'on campaign' tunics without the characteristic Spanish striping. The shields are again hand painted, with the exception of the officer's hoplon which is a decal. I mixed up the geometric patterns on the shields of this unit which I believe is more historically accurate.
These figures, like the last unit, are a mix from the Old Glory Scutarii pack and the Old Glory Caetreti pack. The latter I feel is what gives the unit a proper Spanish look. Originally I was going to paint this unit as a pair of small Hanibal at the Gates units, but when I finally inventoried all of my unpainted lead I was able to scrape up enough figures for a whole six-base Field of Glory battle group. The final (blurry) photo below is how the unit will be deployed in Hanibal at the Gates; as three soldier units.

Great looking Spanish, AJ. Nice work on the shields. Another example of how nice OG can be - especially with great brushwork like these. It appears you play FoG in 28mm? Very nice. Best, Dean
We play a lot of our house rules, Hanibal at the Gates, but yes, I also like FOG in any scale. I have 15mm armies and now this 28mm.
They look real good. Great colour choices.
cheers
Got to love those Spanish, nice veteran look

Very nice work AJ - always wanted a Spanish army.
