Jeweled thrones & sandaled feet

 Originally this started as a Campanian Army for DBA, add in mission creep and it became a double Campanian army for DBA. Why, dunno, other than I'd overbought as usual from a lot of different manufacturers so had plenty to mix together. That and they painted up nicely and looked rather colourful when done so over doing it was not so hard. The basing is a bit all over the place I'm afraid since my inclinations tilted towards TRIUMPH!. I couldn't be bothered rebasing and, not being finished that long ago at the time, just ended up painting more guys to make up the various troop types required. Also trying to cover as many of the various Italian peoples as possible even if not strictly suitable. So, fudging. A lot of fudging.

I bought them as opponents for my Romans but did nothing with them until I needed some mercenary Hoplites for a DBM Carthaginian army I was trying to put together for a tournament. Recently I've refurbished the Hoplites and added some bits and pieces with some vague hope I will eventually stumble across a usable army, there are certainly plenty to choose from across the Mediterranean. So, really, a generic force pool to draw what I need from. Even though I don't have any specific army in mind (maybe Syracusan?) I've presented them as I have in the other army posts.
