I have been interested in ancients for a very long time, So when Warlord Games announced they were coming out with S.P.Q.R. I was going to buy it, then I watched a couple of games on YouTube and glanced at the FAQ and knew it was not the set for me.
I dislike games where you throw buckets of dice, then your opponent throws buckets of dice.
Then I heard about the Kick Starter for Clash Of Spears. I watched the DEMO video andknew it was the set I had been looking for. When the Kick Starter began I immediately I backed it, and talked a buddy of mine into also backing it. We each got one of the warbands, me Carthaginian, he Republican Roman.
A couple of years ago I picked a mostly complete (turned out it was missing a sprue) box of Victrix Miniatures warriors of Carthage box at a Bring and Buy.
Here is what I currently have painted (waiting on transfers to finish the shields). The slingers are metal from Wargames Foundry (I believe). I have 15 or so figures left to paint from the box.

| Javelin men |

| Romanised Infantry. |

| Carthaginian Citizen Levy |

| A second unit of Carthaginian Citizen Levy |
I found the slingers in among the 500+ painted Imperial Romans and Gauls a different buddy gave to me. The only problem is they are painted better than my guys.
