Ooh they look tasty. They are heavy cavalry with a chance of having archery equipment or are they heavy horse archers?


edit: fixed typo.
 
Hello again all! I'm looking for a bit of help and inspiration.
Help wise I'd like a big kite shield with rounded top corners, but I'll probably manage to make that myself later.


The inspiration is a bit tricker; I'm wondering if anyone has any good pictures of mail shirts and hauberks, preferably reasonably realistic. Especially drawings and other art based on medieval middle-eastern period would be great! :grin:

For now some pics from the brf's; I've not been able to do as much as I wanted this last month and am a bit bogged down with a massive amount of horses.

Eati - Bolgris - Bolgris- Eati. :smile:
 
OOOoh nice. The first guy has a cool weapon, the second guy a cool hat, the third guy cool sleeves and the fourth an awesome shield. :razz:

Combine them and your character will be four times cooler!  :razz:

Seriously, nice models and stuff!
About the images of mail shirts: guess you know the Osprey books? They have some nice images of medieval armors, including arabic and middle-eastern mail. If you don't know/have them, i could post some scans...
 
Thanks for the reactions! :smile:


Rule, Yes, I have a bunch of Ospreys but quite a few of them aren't of this area/period. :sad: Stuff like pre-1000 Germanic Warriors or Byzantines from 12something-1500 aren't fantastically relevant. I do have three about the period and area but can never have too much images. :grin:

 
ok, my home library isn't holding all the relevant Osprey titles as well, but as soon as i'm back from work i'll post some scans that could be of some use...

Can't combine the pole-thing with the shield. :c
 
Hey, thank you! I'm planning to post more pictures tomorrow or the day after that.

Rule zum Rabensang 说:
you're welcome. due to the sheer amount of pics i resorted to PM  :razz:
Yes, quite a lot. :grin: Lots of very nice ones. Thanks again!
 
Five days later; still nothing new. I despair of myself, I'm still busy with the same thing I was busy with two weeks ago. So, some .brf pics;

The small shields and the coats of mail will probably be used only by the Eati, the larger shields will be Bolgris only. I intend to make a first version with three of the major factions mentioned earlier in the thread. :smile:
 
I have the strange feeling that the iron/steel/whatever dot in the middle of the shields isn't in the middle :eek: If you get what I mean :wink:

Perhaps due the perspective?
 
Yeah, perspective mainly, I held them slightly sideways when I took the picture. I didn't even really notice but it does make the bosses (the metal bits) look as if they're not properly placed, but they are. :razz: Maybe I can make it a little bit darker around the boss, though, it looks a bit dull at the moment. The plain ones, mainly.

Alright :smile:

I prefer the second one of the first line :smile: Looks quite nice :grin:

 
I'm not sure, I'm not very well versed in that; I can change textures fine enough and even implement them but I need to work on what everything I do means. :???:

My dxtbmp is always set to
though, so I assume that it has mipmaps.
