Some pics of my Thracians, they were a fearsome band of warriors in ancient Greece. They came from the Balkans and were composed of various hill tribes a.o. Odrysians, Triballians, Getae and Illyrians. Alexander hired a division of 7000 Thracians for his wars against the Persian empire. They functioned as skirmishers and light infantry to support the flanks of Macedonian phalanxes. Thracians took part in every significant battle or campaign. An elite force of 1000 Thracians called Agrianes with their blade like rhomphaia weapons enabled Alexander to win a desperate battle against the Indian king Porus and his elephants at the Hydaspes river.

Kind regards,

Something seems off with the presentation of the pics (up side down, although correctly uploaded…)

Yes, they look alright, when viewed as small pictures, but once clicking on them, they turn upside down. Very strange.

I like your research, sounds like you did quite a bit of it. I'll come back to the pictures, and look closer once they are turned right side up.

I always found Tracians hard to paint, because they have such a different fashion than the one my eyes accept as looking good. I like my figures to look good, but also to look historical (or somewhat historical). Big dilemma for me.
