Thraikioi Peltastai on the feed!

[Rad]

Quickly now, to the bird!

[Sylon]

These were the units that were hinted at in the Cantabrian preview, by the way. I merely used the Peltastai Logades as a placeholder EDU slot to test the model out.

The Thracian Peltasts have two skins: Mercenary and Regional. You can see the two different skins in the fourth screenshot: The regionals are on the left while the mercenaries are on the right.

Wonderful news!
(I'm quite proud at the moment that I guessed them right. )

They look beautiful .... and I'm looking forward to use them in my armies (not so much looking forward to facing them in enemy armies, though ).

Ave,
so here is something special from me I hope you will like our new polybian units! Enjoy!

Holy crap! That was awesome! Hell yeah! Semper fi! Roman heavy infantry with iron helms and chain mail armor for the win.

I'm equally excited for the Greek chain-mail-armored heavy thorakitai units, total beasts. And of course the tanks of the ancient world: the cataphracts, including not only Parthian and nomadic but also Hellenistic cataphracts.

Now if you would only add Warring-States-Era Qin Chinese crossbowmen then I'd probably swoon. For piercing armor and multiple bodies at once, though, I think the ballista units will do just fine. I am also super psyched for the onagers and lithobolos stone throwers. This video just simply needs to be shown again:

Maybe one day I'll do a submod that brings in Qin units from one of the Chinese mods out there.

I think we're close to the original 30-unit mark, or have possibly just surpassed it, though some of those (eg the Asiatikoi cavalry) are reworkings of existing units that had placeholders, rather than completely new ones. We might hit 50 in total, but I don't know, to be honest.

We're currently at 31 units, some not integrated yet (awaiting minor fixes).

Thanks for the answer. Sounds like the progress isn't going too bad indeed.

1. Cantabrian cavalry
2. Polybian principes.

Redone Numidians and African regionals, which includes a new unit of late Numidian infantry. Then I also remember this:

As I said in the OP, levies will become more prevalent as the units are done. The Celtic and Indian rosters in particular will be getting two new units each slotted into the bottom of their rosters, which will naturally push the others up (and out in terms of availability).

Indian Spearmen are levies, yes. However, they lack levy slingers and skirmishers, which they will be getting in the 2nd release.

So at least two more Indian levy units and two Keltoi units more.

[QuintusSertorius]

Redone Asiatikoi Hippeis and Hippakontistai; Thessalian Cavalry, Ptolemaic Agema Cavalry, Lydian Hippomachoi, Molosson Agema Cavalry (and Epirote BG), Thureopherontes Hippeis (Lonchophoroi Hippeis aren't finished yet - they're medium, not light cavalry), Irish Skirmishers and Spearmen.

There's at least another 10 works in progress, which I won't name, because that's not fair on the modellers.

[Rad]

Some of them are sooooo promising

[Sylon]

Also the Dahae Skirmisher Cavalry.

The rest haven't been previewed yet, but will be previewed soon. Keep your eyes peeled on the team twitter!

The Marian legions will be available in a sub-mod (look to the page on it I started in the sub-forum for sub-mods).

Maybe one day I'll do a submod that brings in Qin units from one of the Chinese mods out there.

Don't make me wait too long, now, you hear? Honestly, that sounds kinda cool, something out of the ordinary.
