Since you are talking about a wargaming army then the Celt and Spanish mercenaries are represented with the emblems asociated with their cultures.
Crimson and purple was in the finacial means of Carthage nobility.
The cresent sign is a good shield emblem as the Greeks asociated with "Melena Afrodity" and the Phoinicians with Istar as a war godess
I suggest the Phoinician cresent in a purple or red background unlike the Greek that was in black.
Cretan archers were mentioned in Carthagenian armies so there go you red tunics for archers.
Hope it helps
