Thx

I guess I could try but I need to be sure
1) of the colors and stuff (the picture is not very clear so help would be needed)
2) you don't mind if it is a copy/paste units like my other Napoleonic units so that you don't need to ask for someone else to do it again later on.

Ok, now that I have a new Apache replacement for the existing one all is well.

 

[Amenhotep7]

Ummm... I think it would be great if someone could make munits for Kryten's eight new hoplite units???

Remember the army of clay warriors which were discovered somewhere in China (Xian, I think) about 15 years ago? Did somebody ever have the idea to make some genuine Chinese Ancient Times flavor units? Not that I don't like Kinboat's Chinese Swordsman/Chinese Spearman ... but I think China is poorly represented and yet this nation has been a major world power for almost 3,000yrs...

I really hope somebody could come up with some Chinese units.

 

[Healz]

I would like an F-111C as they served in the RAAF, and it would be a fitting tribute to it. As for the other types they basically all look the same therefore this is a one unit fits everything type.

 

[Kinboat]

UtahJazz7 made a wonderful Shang Chinese Swordsman... It's in one of the three DYP Unit packs.

 

[Mackel-Loos]

The Shang swordsman (1500 to 1000 BC) is interesting to replace the warrior as a flavour units.
It will be great to have replacement for :

Spearman --> 200 BC Ch'in Halberdier (Osprey, Men at Arm n°218, G2)
or
Spearman --> 200 BC to 25 AD Western Han Spearman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°284, B1)

pikeman --> 900 AD Hsi-Hsia (Osprey, Men at Arm n°295, E2)
or
pikeman --> 600 AD Sui infantryman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°295, A2)

Berserk --> 1000 AD T'ang Guardsman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°295, C3)

Swordsman -->200 BC to 25 AD Western Han (Osprey, Men at Arm n°284, B2)

Archer --> 200 BC Ch'in crossbowman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°218, G1)
or
Archer --> 200 BC to 25 AD Western Han crossbowman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°284, B3)

Chariot --> 800 BC Western Chou chariot (Osprey, Men at Arm n°218, B)

Rider --> 200 BC Ch'in cavalryman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°218, H1)
or
Rider --> Han cavalry (Osprey, Men at Arm n°284, C2)

Knight --> 900 AD T'ang Imperial Guardsman (Osprey, Men at Arm n°295, C2)
or
Knight --> Southern Dynasties Armored Horse (Osprey, Men at Arm n°284, H1)

I will try to scan some picture.

 

[Mithadan]

Yes, please scan us some of those Osprey pics!!!!

 

[Mackel-Loos]

The Western Han Crossbowman (202 BC - AD 25)

 

[Mackel-Loos]

The Western Han Swordsman

 

[Mackel-Loos]

The Western Han Spearman

 

[Mackel-Loos]

Rem : the Han cavalryman is similar to the Han Spearman.

The Sui Infantryman

 

[Mackel-Loos]

The Southern Dynasties armoured horse (approximatly AD 500)

 

[Mackel-Loos]

The T'ang Guards.
The armoured horseman is an imperial guardsman and the footman is a 9th-10th century guardsman.

 

[Mackel-Loos]

Ch'in halberdier and crossbowman (221 BC - 206 BC)

 

[Mackel-Loos]

And the Ch'in cavalryman

 

[TopGun]

Yeah! That's what I was talking about, Mackel-Loos!
Ancinet/Medieval Chinese units, from swordsmen to Archers, to Spear/Pikemen and Cavalry!

Kinboat, I like the Shang Warrior as a replacement for the Vanilla Warrior, but of course that's just a sfirst step in the right direction: Complete historical authenticity!
(Call me crazy, but I am a history buff...)

 

[Mithadan]

Very cool, thanks for the scans! I hope somebody makes these units someday. Someday. There're others I'd like to see sooner than someday, but that's just me.

 

[Wyrmshadow]

I would like to see a moern upgrade to the PTW anti-tank troops. I want to see a guerilla with a soviet RPG.

 

[Healz]

I would love to see the F-111 created as it is a plane that has served in the airforce since the 1950s and the Vietnam War. They are only just thinking about retiring it here, which is a bit stupid. It has the biggest payload/radius to size of any of the current fighter/bombers and is a fantastic aircraft. The differences between the versions are so internal except for some wing changes that it could be one model fits all.
