Agrianian Peltast

[sitalkes]

Thanks Sitalkes.

As far as I know there are currently zero models of Paeonians in 28mm wargames figures. So it looks as if they had belted tunics, boots, phrygian helmet, several javelins, short sword and small shield. I have seen speculation that shield was either wicker pelta or a small round bronze shield.

I am looking to model some Agrianian Peltasts as they would have appeared during the time of Alexander the Great, so any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
In my original post I noted the above as my understanding of what Agrianians probably looked like. I take it that you don't disagree with any of the above?

I was unsure whether Agrianian Peltasts shield was either wicker crescent pelta or a small round bronze shield- from what I can gather it is more likely by the time of Alexander that it will be the latter. Please let me know if you think they would still have used wicker crescent pelta.

I think mine are Essex miniatures, not sure if you can still get them, though. This is one of those "Your guess is as good as mine" topics, unless there are some more archaeological discoveries you can equip them as you see fit, there is very little evidence for the infantry. They were a poor mountaineering tribe so perhaps they only used a piece of animal hide as a shield (like the Alexandrovo tomb figure) initially and progressed through a wicker shield to a bronze faced shield as they progressed through the campaign and presumably got richer.
