Hey,
I have less time now so not much to post, but I'll slowly add stuff. Here's a replacement for the current questionable Byzantine leader in MEM:

It's supposed to be Basil II, but could be someone else if he doesn't look too similar (that one available fresco doesn't show much to base upon though). The crown is rather primitive, but I'd love to hear how to improve it.
 
Hussite War Wagon.

It was based on this, and I wanted to skip the horses. This way the wagon can be bigger, and it doesn't make sense to have the horses in all animations besides Run... But overall I'm not happy with it and was thinking of either including horses after all or maybe trying different wagon design.

Also, anyone has an idea how to make a nice black powder smoke in Poser? :cry:

I'd add in the horses, have them step away in the fortify and step back in the victory.
I think Kinboat made a smoke prop- you could change the colour ot a darker shade perhaps.
 
OMG, they are so cute!
From now on, your my favorite Unit-Creator :D

You could add a horse run animation. For instance if you ever played El justo's aoi the run animation for all light artillery is the same as the horsebattery.
 
I think the leaderhead looks astounding just the way it is.

The War Wagon is cool without horses, but adding horses for a run animation would be cool too.

Perhaps one thing you could do to the War Wagon is make it a little more rectangular. Right now, it looks pretty squarish and thus squat. More rectangular would make it look more wagon-like, longer and whatnot.
 
The LH is prefect, but do something about his background...
 
Nice wagon. I've been thinking about making one for years now, but I never had gotten around to it.
 
I guess you will have to get to work @utahjazz7, so nobody will beat you to your creations... :p
Make more Units!!! :D
 
:D :D :D :D
me library :D
 
What happens if I push the Red Button on his forehead? Does he explode? That happens when you push the Big Red One on Darth Vader`s chest, you know? :lol: The LH is great, I think you could do better with texturing (coloring, whatever) the crown, looks a bit.. fake?

The unit is awesome! Quinn`s suggestion for the horsies seems logical :)
 
More work from ed! Awesome!!!

It's great to see you making a Byzantine LH. And I think he'll work fine for the Bulgar-slayer, even if it doesn't look exactly like his portrait. The only emperor that might fit better is Leo the Wise.

The crown looks good, you've got the form down. My only suggestion would be to make the textures more rough. Not only the gold and velvet, but the gem too.

The wagon is awesome too! For suggestions on how to make it better, I always refer to :bowdown:Angus McBride's work -

Your model looks too roomy. If you made the wagon smaller, and narrower at the bottom, then put the figures closer together, it might look better.

Also, I think there was a small access door in the back that opened when fighting. This could be used for the attack and/or death animations.
