Punic Wars: Refurbishing Numidians and Samnites

My refurbishment of my old Carthaginian army continues with some allied troops. First up are Numidian cavalry from 1st Corps.  As you can see, the original paint jobs are fairly flat and the basing has a lot of room for improvement. 

Now with additional highlighting of the riders and horses, and the revised bases.

1st Corps has two horse variants for their Numidians, but I received only one pose for my unit.  I've done my best to hide it in the color schemes, and I'm hoping it's not immediately obvious since all the riders are different. 

The shield bosses prevented the easy use of any LBMS decals, so I've stuck with the hand painted hides.

Next are Numidian javelinmen from Foundry with a few spare Wargames Factory plastics thrown in. The Foundry figures were a convention flea market purchase and had never been painted before this.  I didn't have the full set of shields so mixed in some from Wargames Factory, along with javelins and some spare bags and daggers to tie the two manufacturers in better.

The size between the two manufacturers are similar, with the most noticeable difference being the hairstyles.  The LBMS decals for the Wargames Factory figures are a little small for some of the Foundry shields, so I painted in the edges to fill in the gaps.

Last for this round are my A&A Samnites. Again, they started with the same relatively flat paint jobs and poor basing.

Refurbished Samnites

I used the LBMS decals this time and the amount of pop they give the figures is amazing.

For the Samnite clothing, I passed on additional highlighting as I didn't want to damage the tunic patterns. However, with the new shields and other updates, I don't think it detracts from the figures all that much.

There are still quite a few units to go, but I'm happy with the progress I'm making.
