We are aiming for a much higher standard of quality than what is currently expected from most RTW mods and even most M2TW mods.

Its nice to know that, eventully this kind of work, rises the level of all the other mods that are aiming for high quality standards

As the units are built and designed with M2TW and normal mapping in mind they should also be portable at some stage in the future for other platforms, be it M2TW, Empire or something else, though they have had to be scaled down slightly for RTW so as not to exclude the low end machine range.

i understand, and its intelligent to make them avaliable to use them with future mods, and you can always aim to do very high quality models that can be scaled down in detail and complexity, but in the other hand is the time invested in such work, thats why i'm personally amazed, because people put their time and efforts to do something better for we all.
