I/48 Thracians complete!

The shields and standards carefully added and reinforced with glue, it's a finale day. Dry-brushing the grey stone, then carefully adding shallow lakes of diluted PVA and then the green flocking. At this stage, the elements match the basing on the Greek army the optional CvGen comes from.

These are the Thracian components:
Top left, CvGen or 4AxGen options.
Rear middle, 3xLH option, and in front of them, 3x4Ax option.
Foreground, 2xPs(bow). I don't plan to add naked stone-chuckers, because I have no spare Picts/Caledones, and though I have a couple of potential slingers, that looked like being a mini-project in its own right.
Next up the (almost certainly not going to be used) 6xPs to left, and the much-more-likely 6+1x 3Ax to right.
The Ps are really there to feed into other morphs like the Geometric Greeks. Or in case I want the 7x3Ax for Geometric Greeks and want a wheelbarrow army here.
Finally, the heavy core option, 6x4Ax, many with rhomphaia. Perfect for doing adequately against anything except knights in open country.

Those with sharp eyes will have spotted a few ringer minis so far. These include Esci barbarians given javelins that I originally converted for the Geometric Greeks but have added the shield for this project. 

It's a nice thought that some of my earlier conversions, Atlantic Roman mounted, have reunited with some Atlantic Roman chariot drivers who are the CvGen option.
