Here's a unit requested by Mithadan. I had originally wanted to make the falcata-caetra fighter that he had requested in my unit request tournament. But, Sandris beat me to it. So, I decided to make this guy with a soliferrum AttackA and the falcata attack as AttackB. While I was working on this unit, Sandris released his second Iberian pack, which contained a similar-looking unit: the later Iberian spearman. Can you believe that guy? ;) But, as I was already in the midst of creating this unit, I decided to just finish it.

As with my last units, everything was model specifically for this unit—except for the paperdoll iteself. I'm happy with the way it turned out. The question of where to place the civ-coloring was a hard one to answer. In the end, I decided to keep it to a minimum. Any more and I didn't like the way the unit looked overall.

I did test the unit in-game today. Everything seemed to be fine. So, enjoy.

Nice unit!

Really like the death on this one.
:thumbsup:
 
Awesome Scutatio, Utah! :drool:


I love the javelin and sword combo-attack. Can't wait to get home and see it in-game. :)
 
The soliferrum iron javelins looks really great. Really nice detail. Those things must have hurt quite a bit.
 
I totally agree - a wonderful and very usefull unit! :goodjob:

Maybe you have the time to do a "generic mediteran scutatio" from this (just with an altered painting on the shield and eventually without javelins), so one could put him as precursor in the unit line of the another existing Scutatio unit?
 
I am sooooooo glad to see that ancient Iberia has finally been getting the attention it deserves. This is a beautiful unit, utah; well done!!
 
it looks awesome :)

btw, that armor he's wearing, is that custom made by you or is it just textures? and if it is made by you, would you mind posting it in your props and clothing thread ? :)

and if its textures, I'd like it too

>_>

not for the exact same thing, but for the pattern, to make that clear :P
 
Awesome, utah, I'm so glad you finished it even though Sandris made a similar unit. To my mind, the soliferrum & falcata attack combo can't be beat! :worship:
