Title: Numidians at Warfare 2026
Post by: madaxeman on Feb 09, 2026, 05:55 PM
Way back in the mists of time, a sort-of newly-minted Numidian army took to the tabletop to try and perform acceptably in a "Late Roman" period in the 15mm ADLG competition at Warfare 2025.

The main aim was to get on table these 3D printed Numidian horsemen who were sadly printed in a resin which made them too brittle to ever take abroad (where they'd need to be held in place in a tin by  a layer of foam on top of the figures - which would have broken their javelins).

It was also to use these War & Empire Numidian Imitation Legionaries - again recently painted - and give my venerable and now sadly OOP Numidian Elephants a run out too.

I ended up being the only player to take Numidians - a very good or a very bad sign usually - and faced 3 Late Roman armies, the Ancient Brits and the Bosporans over the course of the weekend.

All 5 batreps are now ready and fully posted (https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Warfare_2025_1.php), which in a rare doubling-up of effort include both the traditional text & photo versions and also YouTube summaries of the games you can watch after wading through my turgid prose, cheesy speech bubbles and waves of insulting abuse from my harshest critic, Hannibal, in each of the standard reports.

If you just want to dive into the video, you can follow the action in the 6 videos in the Warfare 2025 Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKw-RlQgtMk&list=PLaJBjPyxFuJZON2S9rde7Ok75e-4FQWB7) on my YouTube Channel as well - the 6th video is a run-through of how I constructed the army list I used.

The batreps link https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Warfare_2025_1.php doesn't work for me. I tried navigating from the main madaxeman.com page, with no greater success.

Great to see. Never enough Numidians around, have a few more I want to paint before November.

That's odd - works for me, and I'm tracking a lot of page impressions too.

I've added it as a link from the Battle Reports page on madaxeman - that may work?
