WOW! Those are awesome, i would use em, but are they historically accurate?

**paradamed** · August 25, 2006, 07:07 PM

I liked them. You did a good job. Keep'em coming.

these are probally less historically acruate but I like them the same

they are what I would call upper middle class skirmishers, they use bronze plated shield which is pretty much custom based on celtic and gaulish designs added in the holes because I thought they looked good and it would be logical to have a wider veiw when you throw a spear, so to compansate this I gave them chainmail.

I have loads of skins ive been skining over a year now its just loading them into game and taking pictures lol.

wait till you see how I used the alpha channel on this skin im just getting ready to fire in game, I took the hamatas shoulder chainmail added my own and doted every link in alpha, so the chainmail can actually be seen through lol.

I really like both units. Excellent start!

The chainmail on the skirmishers looks really good too.

photoshop, why?

**imthefrgt10** · August 25, 2006, 08:22 PM

because i cant get it to save right or something because the units i edited are invisible in the game and i need someone who uses gimp to help

thanks I try not to do the overdone units to much (like the spartans) I think I might do a elephant one sice I saw real elephant armour at the royal armoury mueseum (in real life lol)
