Crap! Yahoo Groups lost my reply!
>>> The initial basis for my Thracians are OG Skythian foot (as Jeff previously commented) bought in a moment of weakness when Brookhurst was blowing out their Old Glory stuff.
OK, good. As those are trousered, it would make including Celts a bit easier. Old Glory's "Carthaginian" Celts with Helmets would make nifty Scordisci.
>>> I plan to add some Crusader and Foundry stuff initially.
FYI, the Crusader Thracians are more slender than Foundry's and will mix with your OG figures better, evern though they're all bare-legged with boots. Nice command sets and cavalry.
>>> A Helenistic look will speed up the painting process and broaden the ranks with more of a barbaric look; thanks!
Also depending again on the timeframe, Old Glory's Hellenistic Thureophoroi may be useful. Jeff has these painted on his site, and these would be the later mercenaries he's blathering on about.
>>> Adding a few "booty adorned" unit leaders will help them stand out. Again, bags of First Corps' Greek leaders packs laying around transported from LA - whew, made it through TSA once again. So corinthian helmets on Thracian bad boys - good/bad/ugly?
Early: good. Later: I'd be happier seeing more open-faced helmets, such as in Crusader's "later" Thracians.
