Some help with painting Numidian shields?

[Phobos]

Coming back to the skin tones subject, I use a burned earth tone for lybians and numidians in my carthage army, with the white basecoat it looks ok for me, darker, but without being "african". In the infantry I mix it with Dark Flesh, and Bronzed Flesh of Citadel, to give it variety of tones, thinking in liby-phoenicians citizens, peasants, and so on.

Numidian shields... In my Carthage Army, I pain them with white-blue tone used for all the army, with Tanit, Palm and Horse symbol, and in the auxiliar units of Numidian/Moorish allies, I use a mix of browns with white/lighter grey spots, like the ones in certain types of cows or horses.

They are African.

Oh lord, my thread has turned racist!!!!  Im j/k  

Thanks again for all of your help with the leopard skin.  I only painted three for what I was working one.  One I came close to nailing, and the other two are decent efforts.  Here is a quick shot as I was walking out the door this morning (crappy quality)...i should be finished basing them tonight, so Im hoping to get some good pictures up tomorrow.

Yuppie, those look right! Nice one sir.

Wow man, I LOVE that horses...

[jdeleonardis]

Here they are....

Thanks again for all of the help with the skin, and now the kind words!  10mm is still new to me, but I LOVE the figures...they are small enough that they look really good en masse, but big enough that you can get some decent detail on them!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Hell yeah! Those are great! Really like teh way they have turned out, be proud of those!

There's really no chance they'd ever have used zebra skins, is there? (sighs wistfully. It would look good.)

Well done!  That is a really impressive look.

half way through reading the post I thought I might be able to help, then you went and posted some pictures of the finished and based figures. And very nice little chaps they are as well. Good brushwork. So now I'm not going to bother.
