[AqD]

Great work!

I love the cretan archer …when can we get our hands on them!

[Crawe]

Excellent Cretan.

I love the cretan archer …when can we get our hands on them!

Being an impatient guy with too much time on my hands, I checked out one of their Russian websites. One line stood out, I think written by Variag, which according to Babelfish translates as, "apropos the output of Greeks - Neo already it answered, which is not earlier than the end of the summer". So I guess it will be a few weeks at least before the Greeks are finished. By the way, the http://imtw.ru/index.php?showtopic=539&st=2925 topic has quite a few more pictures of Greek units - if you have time to scroll through page after page of Russian. Though some of them may be old and obsolete units.

That Cretan Archer is fantastic Mr Gorby, all of these units are amazing

[Amorphos]

Quote NEO

Made, modified long ago made hoplite late + hoplite of Macedonia. In Macedonia, will be replaced by 4 hoplite and skirmisher that would be the old model in the garbage can. The only question, the shield of the Macedonian hoplite not simple right?

Oh, wow, he looks great! Neo is really really talented!

[Amorphos]

*Gasp*, amazing units! I want I want

[CAPTAIN LOKI]

damn, this are the best units i've ever seen beautifull!!! if variag and neo's men model look great i wonder how women models would look hmm...

[caratacus]

Probably something like Mona Lisa, as Variag and Neo appear to be artists not RTW modelers ha!ha!

I was looking at Greek shield design a few weeks ago. The usual source are coins such as these, I think Rome Surrectum has a shield on the Amphipolitan phalangites with the same design as that one on the left

A simple Macedonian Star perhaps, but it would be nice to see it in the centre of a more detailed surround similar to that coin.
What about colourful shields based on one of the frescoes from Agios Athanasios tomb which shows some Macedonian soldiers:


Also suggest that they might like to vary the tunic colours of the Macedon units, the use of mustard yellow for the this Macedon soldier looks impressive.

[CAPTAIN LOKI]

nice research there, well i must say they are very talented

[Mr.Gorby]

Greetings to all. Here still a variant of a light Greek swordsman, and archer.
Two clicks


PS.
caratacus Thanks for reproductions for маacedonian, I will show NEO

[Kylan271]

I think these models need to be cast in bronze also ^_*. Very nicely 'sculptured' art!

[Amorphos]

I like that frescoe caratacus, it would be nice also if more modellers added the loose looking clothing, though I know how difficult that is.


Lovely swordsmen and archers!

[Mr.Gorby]

Thanks for responses.
The test of Macedonians in fight, NЕО wished to look attentively a colouring on boards. Will probably change red, it is a lot of it. Greeks are good.

Wow wow wow wowwwow!
First off, the rippling muscles on the archer are amazing! And the battle screens are great, too. I love the shield of the Mak city guard.
