Looking for Thracian Peltasts with Crescent Shield & two handed weapon for the Alexander the Great army I am building to fit with Foundry Greeks Thanks Brian |

How about Foundry Thracians? Also Crusader Thracians fit nicely with the Foundry Thracians. A&A as well. |

The Foundry Thracians are the first thing that pops into my mind, but I am not sure what you mean by "two handed weapons." |

I am guessing he is looking for figures with the rhomphaia… |

Victrix link Aventine link I do not have any foundry Greeks, but I here they might be slightly smaller compared to these. These go well with my Vendel Greeks and Persians. The Vendel line also has some nice looking figures in Thracian helmets and they have the crescent shields. |

I would also add in: relicminiatures.com Seen here:
And Old Glory: link Also, Newline Designs, A&A miniatures: link However, there is much controversy about when the rhomphaia became the common weapon of Thrace. Many folks report that many of Alexander's Thracians would be dressed more like Greeks with a few clothing features that are distinctive- kind of in between the early Thracian with their dazzling cloaks, and the later ones with their white shields black tunics and double handed rhomphaia . See this brilliant work for a deep dive description of Thracian forces:

Thanks to all. Yes I am after the Rhomphia. The Foundry Thracians are all armed with Javelin. |
