@ MeKtHep:
These skins are WIP for the Punic: Total War mod.
I'm not gonna release them for now, since i'm stil working on them (with invaluable input from Gaius Julius, Asterix and others). I'll probablly release them latter as a Carthaginian pack, appart from the PTW mod.

Some updates:

Lusitanii Riders, based on the Carthaginian peltast model. Superb ambushers, they will get the "hide anywhere" attribute.

If someone with modelling skills would put a Falcata sword in the place of the knife, that would be sweet.

Updated General's Bodyguard Cavalry.

Shoulder flaps removed from the muscle cuirass, and they got a new shield.

[maximusminimus]

Sacred Legion updated.

It looks as they used to wear yellow tunics and red shields. Removed inaccurate stuff like the shoulder flaps and the Corinthian helm.

Sweet Jaysus those are beautiful! Is any mod planning on using those skins?

[maximusminimus]

Yes King_Azzole, my friend! These are WIP for the Punic: Total War mod.

And this is maybe the best image i could find of the Carthaginian Sacred cav.

[maximusminimus]

So i've made an updated version - wearing the Greek linothorax armour, yellow tunics and red shield.
-Original model by spartan_warriour, as in the previous versions.

Edit: need to work on the tunics, i don't like that yellow.

sorry maximusminimus my friend, are your units sticking to history, because you said?

It looks as they used to wear yellow tunics and red shields. Removed inaccurate stuff like the shoulder flaps and the Corinthian helm. :8

@ fallingstar:
Regarding the PTW versions, we aim to be the most hitoricaly accurate as possible.

Here's a version of the Libyan spearmen using the same type of armour.
-Original model by spartan_warriour.

[maximusminimus]

This is the early Bodyguard cav.
-Again, original model by spartan_warriour.

I've started to work on the elephants, but the riders could use a new model...

[maximusminimus]

They should look like this:

:shocked :shocked :shocked These are just so awesome, that i am thinking about closing my own little insignificant carthagian skinpack i was making. What you see here gentlemen from Maximusminimus is pretty much the best skins you can ever get for the carthaginians.

[maximusminimus]

Or like this beautty:

[maximusminimus]

You're too kind horsearcher, thanks! :blush
You know lots of people love your brilliant work, don't close anything bud!

[AlCord]

Man can't wait for the PTW mod especially these nice skins :whistle

[Leonidas480bc]

Nice looking elephants finally someone adds a shield to the side!!! Change the hieght of the tower to cover atleast up to the bottom of the rib cage. that huttah? (tower) is too short. And add some javilins in the corner of the inside tower like your model. You might want to cap the tusks too. Is the linothorax blurred? try adding some blue trim to the linothorax it will give the unit a lil color and stop it from blending in with the elephant. Just my 2 cents. :grin

[maximusminimus]

I'd love to change some things like you suggested Leonidas, but i can only make skins, we'll need a modeller for that.
I'm using the default archer model for the crew, so that armour doesn't look much good on it (although the skin itself needs to be worked on) - the shoulder straps are missing, and the helm doesn't look right.
Again we'll need someone to make a new model for them.
I don't know if it's possible to change the crew to javellin units, i supose that would be more accurate.
Here's an updated screenshot after some minor retouches.
