made some great helm retextures/painted great helms

[stefan140]

Hi all. Just wanted to say I retextured some of the great helms in this wonderful mod for fun. I just wanted to see what they would look like if they were painted/blackend etc. Not a hobby of mine really, but something I occasionally did for total war games and now I thought Id try it here.. Have a look below:

Spoiler

So I was wondering:
1. whether these are historical (ie the colour of the paint, the way they are painted, the specularity)
2. if could I upload these as a kind of submod, or if you would like to include them in the mod.

I realise I'm not as talented or experienced at retexturing as kuauik, but just thought I might share my work..

Nice job on these. I am sure people would want to use them, even if they are not entirely historically accurate. Just post a link somewhere.

Ok will do  . Just out of curiosity though, what about them is historically inaccurate? I just wanna know because I myself tend to be picky about things like that. I tried to make the colours not too bright, but I really dont know. The sources I found (which may very well be unreliable) say that rich knights often had their helms painted and decorated as early as the late 12th century. How they were painted and what colours? I'm not sure. But seeing as a lot of research has gone into this mod I imagine some of you might know more..

I am not sure myself what would be historically inaccurate about them, I was just saying they might be, but I don't think they are? Hope that makes sense! I will certainly use them, because they add some more options!  thank you! They certainly could have been easily made during that time period.

They are very nice and I would love to see them added to this GREAT mod. like said before, the more options the better the game.

Just for the record: Stefan, did you open the same thread twice on one day as the forum tells me?
