African Archers (08/01/08)

Superb archers, Plotinus! The body paintings on the Mursi archer are an excellent addition!
 
Beautiful units Plot! I really like the Mursi archer, he looks like a lethal warrior...

One question: which of these would be the most fitting for a Kenyan/Massai civilization? I figure the turban wearing (and therefore more Arabian looking) ones would be the least fitting, correct? I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Not necessarily, as the coastal regions of Eastern Africa were pretty heavily colonized by the Arabs :)
 
Kenyan IlMurran traditionally dress in the much seen red cloak, so I don't think that any are fitting for a Maasai here :)
 
It's true that the turban look could suit a Kenyan warrior. Perhaps the Sudanese Archer, with red civ colour, might work. Alternatively, the African Archer might work too, since the more stripped-down look is pretty common in most of Africa.
 
Not really, but Sandris will get there eventually..

3 of them are obvious fantasy units. Others are really old school. The only one (and I keep records of this, with graphic presentations and everything :crazyeye:) that resembles the units we have today is the Arabian Archer (either Utah or Kinboat, can `t remember).
