[WABlist] Re: Was Gil..., Now Moving On...Thracian edition

 

Thracians: http://wabforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=9387

I've heard that Relic does some Thracians (for your characters), but I haven't dug deep enough on their site to find them. Sounds like those would fit your needs if you can find them and use other makes for the basic foot troops. I like my special models to stand out as well (usualy adorned in purple and gold), but not like Goliath - to each his own.

I'm considderring applying some time to building a Thracian army too. However, I'm not a historian by trade (unless I'm sitting in armchair at a Holiday Inn...)
- Does every Thracian need to be wearing their "hoodie"?
- Would a more barbaric look in the units be appropriate?
- Would Warlord's Dacians be stretching it too far, even if they were mixed in?
- Would characters and unit leaders adorn themselves in stolen armor, helmets and other booty?
Any help, thoughts and skarky comments appreciated.
