The DBA Gamer

Here are some pics of myThracians in progress.  As you can tell from the lack of the distinctive “Thracian” style helmets, these are the later Hellenized Thracians from the lowlands, rather than their more feral mountain kin.

Here are some Greeks I’m painting for a friend:

Well I had a good time at our first DBA session at Gamers Haven this past Sunday.  One of the things that happened was my purchasing an entire unpainted Thracian army off of Jim Kaspar.  The Thracians are a good choice because they are enemies of my Marians; in fact, they fought just about everyone, so they are useful for me when playing against most everyone I know (books I & II are very popular here), plus my friend is getting into the game and he prefers classical.  The upshot is that I am putting the crusaders on hold until I finish off my Thracians.  Continuing my enemies of Rome theme, I have put a bid in on some Old Glory Gauls on Ebay.

I also updated my Win/Loss record-go take a look–I appear to be getting good at this game!

Thracian pics later this week.

Here are some pics of my new warband element, plus w.i.p spears and a hoplite!

The guy on the far right corner had a mould line across his face so I did what I could…the shields on the spear look great in this picture! I hand painted the gold dragon device. (It’s all hand painted actually…)

Rear view-hopefully not a common view for my opponent!

Another batch of spear in progress.

A small pic of a hoplite.

More pics to come of based elements and my first element of knights!
