I can see the need to define it for the purposes of depicting it in a game.
That said, surely a horde isn't so much a military formation?
Its more of a gigantic angry mob..........armed to the teeth.....with each trying to goad his neighbour & himself into a frenzy, prior to unleashing all that fury on the enemy?
Intimidating, but not organised.
The chain idea?.......Not very bright really!

Absolutely stunning. I believe I could forsake my Greek/Parthian subjects to lead such fine warriors. Awesome work as always!

Thorough preview...nice job, very detailed and artistic one...Good job ! The Roman preview it was or it will be in the future?
They look so nice. Excellent preview!
very good preview! I liked the idea of the music +Rep
just one question: why is the bear warrior wearing a wooden club? I couldn't find a picture of Scene thirty-six of Trajan’s Column is it showed there?
EDIT: I could swear you guys did something to the horses.. they look so vast and 3D, or is that just because the rest is that good

If im correct its because like kelt having long swords and wielding them in battle u need some space if the group is to close they cant use their long swords to their full potential with swinging that sword steong enough they could cut off a mans arm or the shield that protects them thats why they were feroucious and a problem to the romans science the first met each other as enemies.
There's pictures of irregular Germanic auxiliaries armed with clubs on Trajan's column. I can't remember whether the bear warriors are amongst these or not. At the moment I can't find the image but will try and do so.
I think the horses look big just because of the angles of the shots.
Maybe u can look it up here

MUHUHAHAHAHA MY CIMBRI BRETHEREN ARE PRESENTED AT LAST! Ahh so long have my ancestors past has been hidden and now it is finally bestowed apon me! I SHALL EMBRACE WALHALLA!
Love the previeuw, excellent work once more.
I have a question though: Will the Cimbri be the only German faction? There are three Celtic ones and I believe 4 steppe ones, so I really think the grim slayers of Rome deserve at least one other.
Sorry for being like that(points to sig).
