Medusa0's Armoury

Edited 2/25/2011:
Looks like I've hit the ten upload limit, additional downloads will now be posted in post #10.

Now it has been a while since I've uploaded anything new, so I'm going to make up for it by compiling and updating most of the skins that I have made before (Images spoilered for slower connections). All of my new works will be posted here also.

Greek Heavy Peltast, now with linothorax and working gloss map. Texture for GCS, Rebels, Seleucid Empire, and Mercenary.

Edit 25/7/2019, resurrecting this thread with salvaged files. Some images may no longer match unit models as they are newer than the attachments.

The complete model pack can now be downloaded from: https://www.twcenter.net/forums/down...o=file&id=4504

Nice man! +rep for you!

[Somatophylax]

It's perfect! This is a great work.
These are new and beautiful units.

By the way, do you have the cas. and tga. files for these units (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/album.php?albumid=4131) in your album?

[Medusa0]

Thanks for the support guys!

Well, most of my units uses vanilla models and textures (due to my lack of skill with 3ds max), a few are based on models made by other modders. This is true for the Chosen Swordsmen skin, which is from here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...do=file&id=639, the Round Shield Cavalry is made by maximusminimus, and Greek Swordsmen by Webbird. I have merely made the unit cards for these units.

It'll be difficult for me to upload any more screenshots however, as I've burned out a RAM and can't run RTW anymore.

Buy more RAM its cheap and fun! Hahahaahhaa

I'm an amateur skinner, and I don't quite understand the "glossing" stuff. Could you send me to a tutorial or PM and teach me yourself? It's be a big help.

Thanks in advance,
Cannibalking

Update:

Good news people, I've just found out that my laptop can still run RTW (barely), so another unit has been uploaded. Check the OP for an XGM inspired version of the Militia Cavalry, based on the hypaspist (spearmen) from ALX.

Also, after hours of stumbling around, I have learned to use 3ds max to tweak .cas models. Stay tuned to see some more modded vanilla units.


Update 2:

Made a correction to CA's Cilician model: they are now holding their harpoons in the right direction.

Hi, Medusa0.

I am using your Foot Companion units, like the Achaemenid Immortals, in my own personal mod (a combination of units from XGM, XC, Rise of Empire, Barbarian Revenge - To The Last Sea, Macedon Expansion, RTW vanilla units and other small skin mods). So, do you know where can I find more units, like the vanilla aesthetic style, especially for Parthia, Numidia and Scythia factions?

I have Autodesk 3ds Max and Photoshop CS5, but I am trying to learn them yet.

Anyway, the Foot Companions, Seleucid Argyraspides (Legionnaires) and Numidian Armoured Camels are great!

(Excuse my awkward english).

[NightEye]

I really like what you did for the Seleucid Agyraspidai and the Numidian Camel riders. Nice Work.

[Medusa0]

@NightEye:
Thanks!

The Foot Companion was reskinned from the Persian Immortal from ALX.
You have pretty much nailed it right there. There is also the option of getting models from ALX, the last official expansion of RTW. Also I recommend Webbird's skins for some nice Celts and Scythians, just look around on the forums to find them.

Modified Chosen Archer model (including all lods) that is armed with a Chosen Swordsmen sized sword.

Pre-release Equites. These use the early Roman Centurion textures. A Rebel texture will have to be made as it does not exist by default.

Hi, Medusa0.

First of all, I thank for your hints about Webbird's skins and Alexander Expansion units.

I liked so much your Equites.

Finally, what do you think about this unit which I reskinned for the Parthian Empire? I need to say which it is only a simple work.

They are the Parthia-Bactrian Horse Archers for the Parthian Empire.

Hi, Medusa0.

I would like your opinion about this other unit:

http://img833.imageshack.us/i/rometw...071958124.jpg/

They are the Dahae Horse Archers for the Parthian Empire.

[Medusa0]

@Somatophylax

Nice units, the only oddity is the purple/pink scale armour of the Dahae Horse Archer.

Anyway I've made the unit cards for them just in case if anyone wants them.

Update:
Slightly edited the Egyptian chariot crews to have longer swords, now about the same length as it shows in their unit cards. Uploaded in post #10.

[Somatophylax]

Hi, Medusa0.

I have to thank you so much by the unit cards which you created for the preview units!!! If you like, we can add these units and their respective unit cards on the download section of the forum: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=3204.

I am sending one more unit, the Bactrian Camels:

http://img153.imageshack.us/i/rometw...282147249.jpg/

I want to add more reskinned units for the Parthians and other factions, especially numidians and scythians. The problem is the time for it, but I will try as soon as possible.

[Medusa0]

Bad news guys, it seems like I'll need to disappear for a few months due to unforseened consequences to some of the decisions that I've made this year.

Improved Scythian Noble/Sarmatian Cavalry model with longer kontos lance and sidearm sword.

Until things get better, this thread will not get updated. Medusa0 out.

Hey all, sorry about the period of absence, but I am back for a little while before going into permanent retirement. There are still three more units that I will finish shortly to release to the public, with two specifically designed for xgm:

[masterex]

[Medusa0]

Thanks guys for the support!

Now the last two units are finally finished, they can be viewed and/or downloaded on post 17. Francisca projectile not included.

[Cinuz]

I like the german axemen! Abouth the night raiders, you only add them the skirmsh weapon, right?

[Skull]

Awsome work.+rep

[Medusa0]

(used to contain an Arcani armed with a crossbow)

[Asgaroth]

Excelent work Medusa0...I hope you make a lot more vanilla looking troops...For example the Greek cities to have various hoplite troops like Athenian hoplites,Samnian hoplites and so on.
