15mm Numidians in action at Warfare 2025

[madaxeman]

Way back in the mists of time, a sort-of newly-minted Numidian army took to the tabletop to try and perform acceptably in a "Late Roman" period in the 15mm ADLG competition at Warfare 2025.


The main aim was to get on table these 3D printed Numidian horsemen who were sadly printed in a resin which made them too brittle to ever take abroad (where they'd need to be held in place in a tin by  a layer of foam on top of the figures - which would have broken their javelins).


It was also to use these War & Empire Numidian Imitation Legionaries - again recently painted - and give my venerable and now sadly OOP Numidian Elephants a run out too.


I ended up being the only player to take Numidians - a very good or a very bad sign usually - and faced 3 Late Roman armies, the Ancient Brits and the Bosporans over the course of the weekend.


All 5 batreps are now ready and fully posted, which in a rare doubling-up of effort include both the traditional text & photo versions and also YouTube summaries of the games you can watch after wading through my turgid prose, cheesy speech bubbles and waves of insulting abuse from my harshest critic, Hannibal, in each of the standard reports.

If you just want to dive into the video, you can follow the action in the 6 videos in the Warfare 2025 Playlist on my YouTube Channel as well - the 6th video is a run-through of how I constructed the army list I used.

Numidians are more dangerous than they look.

Late to the party 

Anyway, another fun read 

What was your final placing, did the narrow loss keep you from glory?

Nice one Tim

Numidians are more dangerous than they look.

No one expects the Numidian Expedition...

Our chief weapon is javelins!

...


Javelins and evasion...

Our two chief weapons are javelins and evasion; javelins, evasion...

...and supremely competent horsemanship...
