Rarity, could you design some helmets? I can mail you pics.

[Asgaroth]

Could you make a unit of Macedonian Phalangites ?

I'll give them a try.

Hi Rarity.

I have checked the Sacred Band unit furthermore and I just want to tell you that they have a little problem. So they fight in phalanx formation but when attacked from the flank the soldiers of the band use the swords, but they do not appear. In other words the soldiers look empty handed.

Here you are a few screens to help you off seeing the problem:

It's not a problem, but rather intentional to be. The model only carries a spear as weapon, as stated in the request:

Equipments bronze cruisass, bronze shield, short spear,(let's say we use sword as decoration) bronze graves and I think they got a red shirt(this make a nice color mix)

I believe by "sword" he meant the scabbard.

I think it would be awesome judging from the models Rarity already made.

Can't wait to see them.

Also give him both the spear and the sword.

To bad because sacred band were phalangites. They carried a sarissa spear and a sword falcata. They were influenced by the greeks. But well I can say by you that it is a job well done once more.

Ok.

The Sacred Band of Carthage was destroyed in the battle of Krimisos against the Greeks in 341 bc.and i know no accounts of being reinstated.They are presumed to fight as hoplites and not in the Macedonian fashion. I think they will do great as hoplites.

Great work. Cheers.

Trained from an early age to be tough phalanx spearmen, these men were from wealthy Carthaginian families, and as such had extremely good equipment. They were trained from birth to be great warriors and they were able to afford high quality armor and weapons. They fought as a traditional phalanx organized in the Hellenic style.
The "Sacred Band" consisted of a small heavy infantry unit of 2000-3000 men, who were "inferior to none among them as to birth, wealth, or reputation" and distinguished by "the splendour of their arms, and the slowness and order of their march".
At the Battle of the Krimissus in Sicily in 341 BC, the "Sacred Band" fought as a well organized phalanx[1]. It was utterly destroyed. Two thousand citizen troops (perhaps a similar unit), are recorded as being in Sicily in 311 BC, the last time that citizens troops are recorded as being overseas. By 310 BC, the Sacred Band appears to have been reformed, only to be destroyed in battle against Agathocles at Tunis.
After its destruction in 310 BC, the "Sacred Band" disappears from historical record. When Carthaginian citizen infantry turn up in the historical sources during later wars, their numbers are significantly higher implying a levy of all available citizens due to crisis. Larger citizen forces turned out at the Battle of Bagradas during the First Punic War, the Mercenary War, and the Third Punic War, but the "Sacred Band" is not mentioned in any of the surviving accounts we have of these wars.

Actually, they were established again, but not in their former numbers and strenght.

I'll give them a try.

We believe in your work Rarity

I highly doubt they actually used the Macedonian phalanx. It is not known if the Carthaginians had even managed to hear of the new Macedonian phalanx by 310 BC (and as the sacred band disappears from records after that date, the most likely never did use the formation). Also, since in the sarissa phalanxes they used a smaller shield than the Hoplon (and no phalanx ever fought without shields in use during the BC era), can you find evidence of the Carthaginians using this smaller shield type? If not, there's no way they could have used the Macedonian phalanx.

"Phalanx" don't explain how they fought
by using that word they have a big chance that acctually use the old hoplite phalanx
And my work is a sub mod for XGM, you know the XGM already have Carthage's sacred band unit that fought in the Hoplite style. It's just that I don't like their look and decided to request Soarin' a replacement

[Asgaroth]

I didn't know you had the will to do that. Thank you very much Rarity !

So does this mean that you won't do the macedonian phalangite or ?

[Raritу]

Glad that I can help.

Of course not.

[Asgaroth]

Are you going to ignore me ?

[Raritу]

This one's taken me longer than I expected,

Macedonian Phalangites

The sword and helmet are two things cost me most time modelling, though..

Are you going to ignore me ?

What can I do for you?
