Thracians with long spear

Post by gozerius »

I'm currently building a Thracian army using OG 15s Thracians. These are later Thracians with thueros and rhomphia or light spear. After getting run down by Alexander's companians last night, I thought I'd like to expand the army a bit with the addition of offensive spear. Any recommendations for Thracians with sarissa? I thought about filing off the short spears and replacing with a longer piece of wire, but after converting a foot trumpeter to a mounted one, I have to admit, conversions are a pain. Especially if I want a lot of them.

If your miniatures are like javelinmen I saw on a photo on OG site it's an impossible mission conversion you want to do. I suggest Xyston miniatures because all warriors are provided without spear and you can buy spear apart. Spears are very beautiful and they are all 50mm long, so you can decide to use as sarissa, or cut and use as spear, or javelin.
