Man-at-Arms: By Kinboat

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.

I thought this unit could use it's own thread.

Ooh, nice!
With that shield and sword he looks like a more civilized Gallic Swordsman.

This was posted with Kinboat's Sengoku units, but I think it is different enough from those units to merit its own thread. And I know some people were having a hard time finding it because they wouldn't think to look in that other thread for this one.

here is the original thread with Kinboat's excellent Sengoku units.

Didn't even realize this unit existed. Thanks Kal-El. And thanks Kinboat for another excellent unit.

I think a lot of people were in the same boat as you, Kindred72. Hopefully this unit will get a little more face time now.

I was just looking for this unit yesterday.

I could only find it by starting a new thread in the creation forum.

Thank's for starting a thread for this unit.

This unit is must in my mod.

Very good idea, any progress on this one? It would be the missing link between the Man-at-Arms and the Guerilla (perhaps with a sabre?).

I really hope this is the next one on his list. Although I would definately give him a rifle, and make him some sort of 'early partisan' unit.

Wow, great unit. Didn't know it existed. Thanks Kal-el.

And, thank you, Kinboat.
