Hellenistic Thracians for OGAM

It has taken some time (months indeed - 28mm always do take me a while), but my Hellenistic Thracians are finally finished and ready to fight for their gods. The miniatures are from Crusader - Northstar, and decent wee figures they are too. I'll be using these gentlemen (in the loosest sense of the word) for Of Gods and Mortals.

There are no official Thracian profiles in the rules, but the unit building rules in the back allow you to customise profiles. From all the options available, I think that the hammering blow rule should approximate their use of the rhomphaia - those nasty looking curved blades. Therefore, I'll be using the following.

Thracians (CO) 25 points
Q4 C2 - Hammering Blow

    1. Depends on what you mean...

      I have Hermes on the painting table at the moment, and already have Apollo and Artemis - all were identified by Greeks as being worshipped by Thracians. Also have Athena for that matter.

      No Sabazaios or Bendis though.
