Companion Miniatures Spanish Cavalry

I've painted these guys as so-called 'long shield' cavalry, the relatively close formation, heavier guys used extensively by Carthage against Rome:

I acquired 36 of them, mostly unarmoured but with a smattering of men with circular bronze chest pieces.

That's a good number for most of the times I'll need massed shock cavalry, so I mixed them all in together to make two units of 18, or three of 12.

I bought some Gallic type standards from 1st Corps; half are boars and the other half (believe it or not) are chickens - I'll use the latter for my Celtiberians when I get around to them.

The boars will do for the rest of the Iberians, including this lot.

They look rather mean and nasty, probably because of the collection of grisly trophies, which I hope are Romans.  I stuck to the colour scheme I used for the Scutarii, ie mostly white tunics offset by the shields and different types of headgear.  I don't know when these will first see action, probably the next time we run an ancients game for the First Tuesday meeting at the club.  I'm thinking of Ilipa for that, so I need to get cracking with the rest of this army...
