Judas jumping jeehoseaphat!! Has a Celtic faction ever looked so good!.

BTW, the title of this thread shows up in the main forum guys....maybe the giveaway of the faction names was our fault?

[cherryfunk]

I don't think non-members can see it. However, on your member profile it shows 'last thread posted to', which might be how SPQR found out.

Looks great tone! Let's get more pics, including shots of them fighting Romans. This has to be our best preview yet!

Gorgeous looking units!!

One question, I noticed in the slinger model, their stone holder thingy (whatever it's actually called) looks really blocky, it is possible to alter the model so it looks more natural?

Ouch.. !! Somebody stop me!!

Quick question Tone. What specs is your rigg? Your screenshots are just beautiful. I got and Core duo 6700 at 2.9 GHZ and an 8800 ultra on max settings and it doesn't look as good as this.

Please dont quote all the pics
Very nice Units Tone - cant wait to give the averni a try

[tone]

it's a P4 3GHz, Geforce 7600GS (Still using AGP graphics), but am just about to get an overclocked system... Quad core 6600 2.4GHz running at around 3.3 with an 8800GT or GTX. The key is to maximise the settings and tick unit shaders and high quality shadows and maximise the antialiasing.


BTW just realised I've not changed the heavy spearman unit to include the "horns" i previewed in the preview thread.

Arverni ARE going to ROCK!

[Mulattothrasher]

Those units totally


Thank goodness theres not going to be an attack of the "brown clad Gauls" like in every other mod. The colors are vibrant, and they capture the spirit of their dress and style. Awesome!

Can't wait to write up some lengthy descriptions for those!

[Drtad]

Wow... Those Arverni rock almost as much as System of a Down.

im sure they would listen to them before going into battle too
btw kickass stuff there.

Don't be silly, those civilized Celts wouldn't stoop to the level of listening to barbaric Armenians play alternative metal.

[Mulattothrasher]

Is this the final Arverni roster, or at least close to it? Gonna start up some Arverni unit descriptions if so


They'd to some Grave Digger or Cruachan before battle...Manowar would do too!

Do that, I will need them. I think this will be it for the strictly 'Arverni' units, althoguh there will be other AOR units available to them.

My thoughts exactly! 'Drab' is about the last word you could use to describe these guys...

[cherryfunk]

Yup, most of the units are done, except for a couple AOR units and possibly the levy clubmen and elite slingers, so go to it Mulatto...

[The Black Reaper]

omg tone.. this is the first time ive actually seen these.. they're beautiful.. you have done a great job on my favorite faction.. can't wait to play with them

[Mulattothrasher]

What unit will the general be "attached" to?


Guys, do y'all think the crazed gaesatae on page 1 of the "units in development thread" would fit better than the relaxed ho hum look of the current gaesatae unit ? :hmmm:

Theres just something about that crazed look on his face, like hes in pain waiting for battle. I fell in love with that unit...well, thats kinda gay sounding but you know what I mean. That crazed look is 110% perfect IMHO.

[tone]

General wil be attached to the noble cavalry.
Just updated pics....see above
