**VINC.XXIII** · February 12, 2011, 08:33 PM

Some focus about new legs and the best right sword of the galaxy, now integrated for SV4.0, thanks L.Calidor for these precious objects...

And the new Aventuros and the Swordsmen Militia, thanks to the Tsardoms Team for his support

A lot of the portugueses units will have their castillan and catalan equivalent/variations.
And this barbuta is more that accurate and esthetic than the vanilla open barbuta.

For your information, the horse barding on that picture got a picture of Polish CoA from XXc, in medieval period the Polish eagle look differently.

And the Velmoze as well are perfects...I play Serbia just to see them.

Yeah that shield could be used though I think that typical western triangular shield was more popular in medieval Poland.

For now my polish retainers don't have any shields. I think I can considerate them as the polish sergeants, time frame: 1401-1500

To be honest I saw no source that would present Polish large rectangular (as the one from vanilla Polish Nobles) shield at all. And definitely such shape was not in usage in late medieval period (in early middle ages such shape could be present). So I think that Polish retainers should have a triangular shield similar to the vanilla.

I know lol, just these barded horses appear the most "serbian" for use as Velmoze's horses.

No I don't speak about the first shield, there is one shield that is exactly as the your in this Tsardom's mesh. Just I had gived this link to let you imagine the quality of the other shields...
But I will finalise this two polish units.
For the retainers, they had painted shields? I prefer keep my polish heraldry for the true knights and "paladins".
The retainers would be accurates with heater shields in leather? Definitivly I would get all my western mounted sergeants in sober style about their shields. The effect is very immersive by this way.
Its better to use with parcimony the noble heraldry.
All my jinetes have non-painted shields, and its simply beautiful in game.

Great job Rus-Bey!

If I could make a couple of suggestions. The Baruni (Barons in Sicilian) are actually not just the Barons, but the landholding Nobles in general. They should probably have armour on the legs and armoured horses.

The Marino arms should only have three white lines.

I can't wait to use them! Great job

"The Marino arms should only have three white lines."
Thanks, SV, just it was hard to make one coherent blasone with the source, that needed a lot of different resizing/trying...But if I have one perfect source who fit exactly to the BC shields, I'm ok to restart...^^
As you can see, I was in the obligation to get total new restylisation for the Moncada, the source was just informative. I had scratched all the elements from internet pics, the Moncada's Lione himself is in fact my Armagnac Lion, harshly reworked^^

"The Baruni (Barons in Sicilian)"
no problem I will weld another model in total plate.
Those are just the generic Milizia di Patriziani, with the Sicilian most Noble Heraldry.
