As it happens I am doing a Thracian force at the moment.
Here is a couple comparison pics of (l to r) Old Glory, Crusader and 1st Corps.





The Crusader and 1st Corps are, surprisingly, about the same size. Old Glory a teeny bit taller.

All the Old Glory come with Romphai but with spare javelins in the shield hand. I  cut the Romphai off and drilled out some of them to hold a wire spear. They have Greek style helmets and greaves and half of them the Celtic type shield.
Here are a few together (without shields):


Sorry the pics are poor.

Thanks.  Old  Glory might be the best,  size wise  , for me.   Although, looking at their website, they're described as 25mm.    Do you have any side by side photos w Victrix, Agema or  Aventine figures ??

Sorry no. Only just started  Ancients. I have Macedonian pikemen in Crusader and Aventine, I put that comparison photo somewhere on a thread in this section... The Aventine fit fine with the Crusader.

Here we go!.   Finally got mine ready for a photo.   Victrix Samnite bodies, heads from Persians and custom made crescent shields.
