Does anyone know of a good reference for painting guides for 6mm for Carthaginian (and various mercenaries) as well as Roman units for the period of the three Punic Wars?  I am new to this form of miniatures (having usually played 6mm micro armor from WW2 or modern periods).  I have ordered a few Carthaginian units recently, and look forward to begin some painting once they arrive.

The Osprey books are a decent place to start.

Another good rule fo thumb is too google '28mm Carthiginian Hoplites', and see what people have done, you'll be able to work out a good uniform idea from there work for your own models.

Google Punic War images. It will bring up free Osprey colour pages.


A little goes a long way
