New Units: Assorted Sept 5th 2003

[Kinboat]

I started making these at the request of Kal-el for inclusion on the Conquests CD... That deal sort of fell through so I decided to post them here. First up are 5 units for the Japanese civ, with three variations. As part of the requirement for inclusion I made these completely from scratch... first to remove any possible copyright infringement and then second to get as close to the civ-style as I could.

A Man-at-Arms unit (I'm sort of sick of the name since I've been typing it over and over so appropriate suggestions for names are welcome ). Meant to replace the Medieval Infantry in the late Medieval Age. I now have plans to create a slightly more modern version without the sword and dressed in a uniform similar to the Rifleman which this unit could upgrade to.

I'd also like to thank Kal-el for all his help. He created all the sketches I based my models on and was very helpful in pinning down the look and color of these units.

Not to be too nit-picky but the sword is the wrong type for swash. Though the rest of the outfit would work well enough. A swashbuckler would have a rapier. The sword the man at arms is holding is from a much earlier period sword (albeit a bit long). Pre-dating swash by a few hundred years. Still it's a great unit.

Dude! These ROCK!

 

[Kryten]

Absolutely terrific!

(More please. )

 

[embryodead]

Wow! It is even visible that their flags move dynamically But I still like swashbuckler the most, it fits late imperial infantry in wh-mod

 

[Yoda Power]

[LouLong]

Don't try into a dictionnary for it.

[utahjazz7]

Woah! Very nice, Kinboat.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Oh... My... God! These are AMAZING!

Thanks so much!

 

[Lusikka755]

These are just Great!!!

But one little request: Could you make another version on the Man-at-Arms with different clothing? It could make a fantastic pirate unit! Please!
