Notes: Tarabon is nominally ruled jointly by a king and a panarch, who are both elected by the Assembly of Lords. The King and the Panarch are equal in authority. The Panarch collects taxes, customs, and duties, controls the Civil Watch, and oversees the lower courts. Her personal guard is the Panarch's Legion. The King is responsible for spending the collected revenue properly, controls the army, and oversees the High Court. His personal guard is the King's Life Guard. The only major political duty of the Assembly of Lords is the election of both King and Panarch.
Credits: Many thanks to Kinboat for his paperdoll figure along with his clothing models. Thanks also are due to Cyber Dreyk and Steph for their wonderful programs.
Enjoy! :)

Mithadan Feb 23, 2005, 02:20 AM Wow, that is a funky looking unit! I love the guys trousers. Top notch stuff yet again, CamJH. :goodjob:
Bungus Feb 23, 2005, 02:46 AM I've checked out the flc's, and everythings up to standard. I'll allow it.
Good to see you're still in production, Cam! Toblerone!
aaglo Feb 23, 2005, 02:57 AM Fine unit, Camjh :thumbsup:
Altough I'm unsure about the length of the spear. It seems so short... what I mean is that there's so little spear visible in the "safe end" of that weapon - it's almost like he's holding it like a sword. But I don't know if this guy is supposed to use that short spear like that :)
@Bungus
You allow it? Well, that's good I suppose.
Enkidu_Warrior Feb 23, 2005, 03:50 AM more great work, cam, especially the detail! :)
i believe the short spear is balanced for one handed use - that shield would make a two-handed spear useless.
EW
Gomurr Feb 23, 2005, 05:41 AM Great unit, CamJH! I love the armor in particular. Nice job!
Halidon55 Feb 23, 2005, 08:09 AM Excellant unit. He looks like an elite gaurd.
Yoda Power Feb 23, 2005, 08:35 AM Very nice unit:thumbsup:
Zion_Withrow Feb 23, 2005, 10:07 AM Great job, I like the spear length.
CamJH Feb 23, 2005, 10:32 AM :hmm:
The spear might be a bit short, but I was thinking along the same lines as EW. I figured it'd have to be at a size that he could wield easily enough with only one hand since the other is occupied with the shield. Plus I gave it a pretty hefty spearhead, so I was also trying to factor in the weight balance.
Here's a pic of the spear in relation to the size of the unit.

It's slightly taller than the actual unit (except for the plume :) ). I figured that was long enough... but then again my life's never depended on the length of a spear, so my calculating might be a little off. ;)
Thanks again everyone. All your kind words are very much appreciated.
Ozymandias Feb 23, 2005, 11:06 AM Nicely conceived and executed! :thumbsup:

mrtn Feb 23, 2005, 12:57 PM A nice one, yet again! :thumbsup:
Takeno Feb 23, 2005, 06:27 PM Excellent job Cam! :thumbsup:
One more step on the road to the WoT mod is complete. :D
Dom Pedro II Feb 23, 2005, 06:34 PM So does this guy tell kids to stay away from the deep end and not to dive in the shallow end? ;)
CamJH Feb 23, 2005, 06:47 PM No, he just yells at the king when he's running by the pool. :p
Raw is War? Feb 23, 2005, 06:56 PM Very nice, he looks great! :thumbsup: :D
alerum68 Feb 23, 2005, 08:15 PM Very nice Cam.;) How many more are left to go?
ripptide Feb 23, 2005, 09:31 PM very nicely done Cam )
utahjazz7 Feb 23, 2005, 10:22 PM Very nice animations here, as with all of your units.
Rob (R8XFT) Feb 23, 2005, 11:06 PM Fabulous! Into Anno Domini it goes :goodjob: !!
CamJH Feb 24, 2005, 12:42 AM I believe the Companions of Illian are the only Randland unit left. And since they're a mounted unit, which I have not ventured into yet... sadly, it might remain that way until I come across something I (we) like.
:cough: :cough: Spanish flavored knight/horseman, just in case any other creators happen to come across this. Just think Conquistador minus the dog. :)
I also want to do a Wise One for the Aiel (for those not WoT inclined, just think female mage). Kinboat's been kind enough to furnish a wardrobe for his paperdoll female recently, so nothing's standing in the way... except for maybe my own procrastination. :rolleyes: I must finish up the gnoll gunman for TJedge though, it's been delayed far too long.
After that, I'm sure it'll probably trollocs, then whatever's left for the Seanchan, Atha'an Miere (Sea Folk), and Shara.
Kinboat Feb 26, 2005, 05:37 PM Nice :D
(Trolloc bodies are done, but I only have one head almost done)
WS78 Feb 26, 2005, 07:22 PM Once again out of obscurity.
I must give you a word of encouragement as your skills in design have matured and are gaining momentum, thanks to our beloved kinboat!
I especially like your knack for making all your units distinctive but not uniquely tailored for just one role, making them useful for dozens of scenarios.
I was impressed with Muffins' skills when he started and I am glad that the unit designers haven't quit on us yet.
While I'm at it: many thanks to Aaglo, utahjazz, Dom Pedro II, Bebro, Wyrmshadow and w.i.n.t.e.r.
Not forgetting ripptide and anyone else I may have forgotten.
CamJH Feb 26, 2005, 10:20 PM Thanks WS78 (and everyone else). It's nice to be mentioned in the same post as all those other creators as I'm a big fan of their work.
(Trolloc bodies are done, but I only have one head almost done)
Sounds great. I'm sure I'll have some fun playing mad scientist, mixing and matching them together. Quick question though, will I be able to use the armor and clothing models you've already posted in your "my poser stuff" thread? I imagine I'd have to enlarge them a bit in order to conform, but I think I recall you saying you were making them buffed up versions of your pdm (and minotaur) model.
Olaf_The_Great Feb 26, 2005, 11:16 PM GREAT UNIT I wonder what It could be used for aha! Gothic Spearman would do.
krazydude Feb 27, 2005, 01:02 PM Great unit!! Also I think the spear's size is pretty good, bigger would make it unrealistic to wield with only one hand.
Norsk_Viking Mar 02, 2005, 05:54 PM pretty sweet
W.i.n.t.e.r Mar 09, 2005, 05:29 AM Perfect for a Ghulam Soldier - the turks amongst us rejoice :goodjob:
Ares de Borg Mar 09, 2005, 06:22 AM Perfect for a Ghulam Soldier - the turks amongst us rejoice :goodjob:
Shouldn't he have a round shield and lamellar armor then?
;)
W.i.n.t.e.r Mar 09, 2005, 08:57 AM yes- but those pants, boots and helmet just scream Ghulam :)
Steph Mar 09, 2005, 10:16 AM I believe the Companions of Illian are the only Randland unit left. And since they're a mounted unit, which I have not ventured into yet... sadly, it might remain that way until I come across something I (we) like.
Have you made some Shienarian heavy cavalry? Or the Queen's Guard of Andor? Or Cahierin cavalry? Defender of the Stone from Tear?
I missed them then.
CamJH Mar 09, 2005, 10:44 AM If I had only know... could've given him a round shield. Ah well.
Steph,
Didn't know you were also a WoT aficionado. :)
We've got units assigned for those that you mentioned. Some good fits... some good enough for now.
Shienaran Lancer (Cavalry)= German Knight by Bebro
- I know Shienarans aren't anything near German by any means, but the knight graphics match up pretty well.
Queens Guard= Huscarl
- The Queens Guard should have a helmet with face bars and carry a spear with red streamers, but this is holding the slot for now.
Cairhienen Vanguard (Cavalry)= Tang Cavalry by Dom Pedro II
- The armor is a bit light, but the "con" on his back works nicely
Defender of the Stone= Swiss Mercenary
- Pretty good fit.
If you want to check out the rest of the unit lines, there's a link in my sig. :)
