Thracian Peltasts #2


Although from the same pack of Old Glory  as the first unit of Thracians, these are about as different as can be.  


Partly that's the different style of shields...


and partly a very different set of colors and painting style. 


Much more subdued colors on these.


Obviously a different tribe from the first uinit! 


I especially enjoyed doing the cloaks!

    1. Thank you, Michal. Of course, now I see that I need to clean up the bronze edge on that pale green (Delta CC "green tea") shield!

  2. Very nice, and the subtle shade of green works well.

    1. Thanks; probably closer to what they could achieve with vegetable dyes!

  3. This is very hard to believe that this unit is from the same pack as the prior unit. Very different tribe,indeed!

    1. Thanks, John. The Thracians pretty much originated the Peltast concept.

  5. They look fabulous! The shadows in the folds of the capes are good.

    They put me in mind of the elf warriors in the Two Towers.

    1. Thanhks; I can see why they might remind you of them!

    1. It's actually a clever ploy to confuse the enemy. "They can't be Thrtacians; they don't look anything like the other guys..."

      THWACK!

      :-)
