I'll be ready to work on KoSJ alternate riflemen tommarow, would it be okay if it also made a feature (with full credit to you for doing the re-skin) in My Units Mod?

Anyone can use my skins with credit mate
Sir Digby:
Congratulations! Awesome skins! l like the maltese units!
Have you more units in your mind? I hope it...
Thanks
Oh my, Cossacks look a little strange... Historically, Cossacks never really wore Wolf Fur hats. They mostly had bear fur for their papakhas due to the material being one of the cheapest furs.
Those grenadiers are excellent. Seems like my small mod is being put to good use.
EDIT: Caesar, a request: could you reskin the Austrian line infantry into the Deutschmeister Regiment in their 1757 uniform (blue waistcoat, breeches, and turnbacks)?

These were the first plastic miniatures I ever painted so I feel emotionally attached to them.
And of course it was owned by the Teutonic Grand-Master, so you get to work on the 18th century remnants of another crusader order.

Unfortunately my glorious Seven Years' War Austrian army (two infantry battalions - IR Deutschmeister and the Red Wuerzburg Regiment, both Revell; one cavalry squadron-Graf Daun Dragoons, also Revell; and a battery of artillery, converted from Imex ARW artillerymen) have no opposition at the moment, except for two dozen converted (also Imex) Prussian artillerymen. All that is about to change, though, in 10 days - two weeks, thanks to the new Zvezda Prussian grenadiers, of which I'm ordering two sets. I'm also ordering some Great Northern War Swedes (infantry and dragoons) and I'm going to convert some into Prussian mounted officers.
Now, to keep this on-topic, how about a reskin of the new units that came with patch 1.3 (Prussian grenadiers, Spanish Guardias de Infanteria, Swedish Lifeguard etc.; but not the Dutch ones because there are already reskins of those) to make them more accurate?

Hey Caesar, the unit will be a brand new unit, so you'll have to do things a little different, but good thing is that I know how to do it! Just make the skin and I'll take care of the rest!
Upload the skins into a compressed file, upload it on a place like file front then send me the link, after that I will apply the skins. Make sure you use the "sweden_svea_livgarde" model. That is the new top hat model.
I'm done with the unit and eagerly awaiting your skins!

Np mate I'll do that for you
@ Batman - The trouble with a stand alone unit is you'll start messing with loc files where as a replacement model does just that with the same name as the original so it won't mess peoples mod names up etc

I beleive I may have also stumbled across a rifleman unit hidden within Vanilla game files, maybe I'll look into that and change model and give paralelle stats as riflemen in-game.
Good news, there is a unit called "euro_late_riflemen" used by nobody, still named riflemen on-screen. I changed the custom unit to that.

Great work! I think that for some units will better other models (your textures are great but can use similar models to sources from pictures).
For knights of Malta are better Swedish Guards (round hats and plumes):
for malta's grenadiers are better Spanish grenadiers (better type of bearskin cap):
for Venice carabiniers are batter Spanish Guardias (bicorne and uniforms style):
for Hessians are better Dutch Guards (uniforms style and hat):
Don't read my post as attack. Your textures are great but I would like to see more similar models to sources.

I will be changing the model (well Emperorbatman will) for the Knights light infantry as for the rest ,I think they are near enough for now.
I only want to do reskins as modding takes alot of time and as reskins anyone can use them.
That said I do think the models you suggested would be better and I don't see your post as a attack
Ideas and suggestions always welcome.

+rep for the armed Citizens, finally.....
Cheers mate

Modding of that low of a scale (i.g. changing models), isn't much. It only takes me a few minutes. However, unfortunately, the grenadiers and carabineers will require a whole new unit or it will affect other factions. Despite the fact it is simple (Just copy-and-paste stats then rename the unit), it just isn't possible unless you want to make a new unit. And that requires a loc file to get text...
@ ARCHIEKE, I changed the model to the Swedish lifeguard model for euro_late_riflemen, I got it covered!
