So whilst battling with the extreme heat meant I didn't get much in the way of painting done this week I have managed to add another unit to the Carthaginian force. This time it's the ever useful Numidian light cavalry.
In Clash you don't tend to field many cavalry as the fighting is mostly infantry based but the starter box includes six of these chaps to add to your force. The Carthaginians also have the option to use Iberian heavy cavalry who pack much more of a punch in melee but also carry javelins for a ranged threat.
Under the rules cavalry are twice as fast as infantry in the open (8" rather than 4") and also are harder to hit with ranged weapons and by troops with short weapons in melee.
The Numidians are lightly armoured with just a shield so will want to operate on the edge of any battle to avoid being the focus of attention.
The Marauder ability will help with this as they don't need to stay within range of a commander to still operate effectively.
The are the last of the light troops for the Carthaginians with only the heavy Punic infantry and commanders left to paint.
