Imperial Army

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 4:09 pm

My idea of creating a better Imperial Army.
Give the Penitus Ocalatus a retextured Heavy Imperial Armor that has purple cloth and black armor. Also black Officer Helmet or even Black Corinthian Helmet with purple crest. http://p2.la-img.com/930/21665/7457542_1_l.jpg Actually may use a retextured Blades Armor but change the helmet
Give a more unique armor to the Legates, perhaps a silver/steel version of Tullius armor or a more decorative Heavy Imperial Armor with either Officer Helmet or Corinthian Helmet with red crest.
Give all soldiers Heavy Imperial Helmet instead of that leather cap.
May give frontier soldiers the Heavy Imperial Armor as well and let Imperial Town Guards keep the Imperial Leather Armor.
May retexture the crest of the Officer Helmet to red instead of steel.

All of the above things I can do.
What I can't do but would want is a proper http://images.wikia.com/demigods/images/3/38/Scutum.jpg shield, a http://medievalarmoury.com/images/Roman_Officer_1.jpg on the Officer Helmet and perhaps adding fur to the shoulders on Tullius armor or to a specific set of Heavy Imperial Armor. Would be nice with a http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Helmet_centurion_end_of_second_century.jpg/220px-Helmet_centurion_end_of_second_century.jpg as well, plus adding cape to the new Oculatus armor, Tullius armor and the Legate armor

I would certainly use variations of this stuff for Mesogea. The Holorian Alscoria have similarities to the post Marius legionary system and appear more like this:

I am currently using the following kit which was available on Nexus: check the video at 2 mins 40 seconds.

so definitely if you can do anything Romanesque, and if you could maybe knock up a few togas too.....

Problem is that Im kinda good at retextures, but making new meshes is a whole other thing, have no experience in that Im afraid. But yeah, the roman army after the Marius reforms is what Im somewhat aiming for.
