Poeni units please!

[Leão magno]

I was hoping the community would help me to revamp the Kart-hadastim in EB 0.8. If you have any Poeni unit of your own and do not mind to share it, please post it here, I am looking especially for Poeni cavalry, Poeni militia and numidians. Thanks!

What's wrong with them now?

[Leão magno]

Nothing wrong at all. I do not mean that! I just wanted to play Carthage with a diferent look. Besides, Sacred band does not look historical from my point of view (lack of the white shields I suppose) . Poeni cavalry is too white and blue, Poeni infantry has no armour at all... this is not compatible, as far as I believe, with a city that held so many equipment and armour in the citys garisons for siege times, besides, there is some historical source about them being a bit better than just a militia. I was hoping to find some models for me to add as the Libyans (cavalry and infantry) that were not in touch with Carthage but could be quickly hired in case of war. Elephants are another question, Carthage generals still looks like a place holder if comared qith the captain model. I know that EBs next release will answer many of my wishes. You see, as I stated before, it is a personal desire, not a criticism or something

If I were you I’d get your historians, particularly the ones who know a lot about Carthage, and figure out some new units, or redo a few of the old ones. I don’t think you should just copy other people’s work. Even if they say you can, but that’s just my opinion.

There may be some units you enjoy.

[eggthief]

that guy put a lot of details in those units.

[abou]

If that is what you want to call it.

[Callicles]

Hah.

[eggthief]

Especcially the hannibal skin looks great, but I'm not sure wether they are realistic since the sacred band for example aint wearing any white armor/clothes.

Try to understand, I am not a modder myself and the intention here is just to have some fun with new appearance playing EB0.8 until next release. No one is forced to put their models here, but I believe there are a lot of models that did not make into EB (for many, many, reasons) that modelers would like to share! Modding community is also about that! Sharing works and experiences! "just coping" does not apply here, there is always adaptations to do! "just coping" does not apply here since what is happening is sharing! Anyway, that is just an opinion of mine as well!


Hey Callicles thank you for the link! I think Asurbanipal units rocks! But I am looking for a more realistic units and I could not dare to ask him to model one for me. But he has a real nice and detailed work.

His Poeni cavalry if phenomenal, I shall ask him! Thanks!

[Callicles]

Spirit_of_Rob's units are great... very subtle, historical, and not over-the-top.

That's good. Thank god he works for us, then!

Yes SoR really has an edge in making historical units, that mey also be because of the good support team he has around him giving details and directions to what to create, but, even with all the information, without the art, talent and dedication he have, he would never be that good!

i agree with you in case of sacred band.

[Leão magno]

Yes, have you seen the sacred band represented in TIC (for RTR 7.0), they look increndible acurated for me

[pralexander ashoka]

yes then you can port the TIC units to EB when TIC is out.
