Hi guys, I'd like you to take a look at some screenies of the new units VMDs. The current count is 64 so grab a beer while you're at it.
First though a couple of things to remember:
- These pictures only show one version of the unit without all the variety. In game these units will be viewed collectively which will add to the effect.
- Uniform colours are not finalised and will likely be changed later
- Some units are not shown. This is because I will need to do some custom texturing for them.
- Some of the elite units are missing crests on their helmets (especially the Arverni and Galatians) I have created helmet VMDs separately.
Alright, here we go.
