Historical Info
The Carthaginian Iberian Scutarii were a type of heavy infantry that formed a significant part of the Carthaginian armies, particularly during the Punic Wars against Rome.
Unlike the lighter Caetrati (who carried smaller, round shields called "caetra"), the Scutarii were heavy infantry. They were equipped for close-quarters combat, forming a solid line of battle.
The name "Scutarii" comes from the Latin word "scutum," referring to the large oval or rectangular shield they carried. This shield was similar to those used by Roman legionaries, providing substantial protection.
Notes
Once downloaded, the sheets can be printed as often as you like, which means you can build up Large Armies very cheaply.
You will need scissors, a craft knife, glue, appropriate paper and some stiffer card for bases, all of which are described in the how-to section.
The figures are laid out in A4 format, which will print onto US legal sized paper, or will fit US letter size printed at 93%.
You can, of course, print the figures in any scale you choose, making them uniquely flexible in this respect.
You will need to make a stiff Card Base for each stand. Dimensions of the stand is up to you and your preferred rule system.
I use 40x30mm deep for three rank Infantry and all Cavalry, and 40x20mm deep for two rank Infantry and Skirmishers.
Our Motto is Paper Armies, Proper Armies!
