Ok, here is a unit Caratacos has visualized for us. Guess the unit (gotta get it exactly right) and the faction and we'll show you the real thing.

TA this one really looks difficult.
I really can think in a lot of units, but my first guess will be...
Getai General.
Dam you Sand Ray, turning such works of art into piles of sand, except for a few choice spots!
Hmmm please be right....Baktrian General/Guard
I shouldn't have to live in a world where all the good points are horrible ones.
Is he hurt? Everybody asks that. Nobody ever says, 'What a mess! I hope the doctor is not emotionally harmed by having to deal with it.'
The helmet makes me think something not quite so far east, or else a reformed saka unit of some sort.
Some sort of Thracian cavalry for the Makedonians.
Heavy cavalry it looks like - the fellow is carrying a machaira.
a Makedonian sun there on the saddle ?
Wow! It's the legandary particle monster!

Hm, bronze helmet, iron scale, red crest, sica, brown cloak with fi....wait a minute...could it be...
Ok, i leave it to the others to guess it.
Really looking forward to see the unit!

My guess is Lustonnan FM or Captain
Ooops double post
Hmm, on the seirious side of things I think it is a Barbarian unit, perhaps even a general.

Nobody has gotten it exactly right yet. I think somebody knows it though.
I think we have a winner! ;)Originally Posted by Hydromorph
My guess is a KH heavy cav. :P
And I think that one is you.Originally Posted by Teleklos Archelaou
EDIT: Perhaps, I know it too... but it might be cheating to enter the contest, might it not?

I think Bavarian probably knows, but he's being nice and letting someone else win for a change. Could be wrong of course, but...
Is it a German heavy cavalry unit for the Romani?
Plagued by guesses of sandstorms and particle monsters, I'll reveal all of Caratacos' work here, but I won't say what it is yet. No one has gotten it exactly right yet though. But some have gotten close.
Something makes me think "Balkans". A Getai unit perhaps? I'm tempted to think it's Thracian because of the sword.
A Getai Lesser General.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
Modelled/textured image of unit to follow.
If I t'were hazard a guess, it would be some sort of heavy calvary, either of Lusotannian (err ... the spanish guys) or Geata (a.k.a. the Thracian/Dalmatians), and since we've recently had a Geata unit revealed, I'll go with Lusotanian.
edit: DOH!!, Too late!
Bloody sexayh (as always ), Caratacos!
What about some wallpapers? Pleeeeeassssse.......

Yes indeed BB, this was one of Caratacos' first images for us (the one that when he submitted it to us after that public Getai Lesser General thread was made) and it was the thing that made us immediately ask him to join up. Really helpful stuff to base units off of, and looks great for other uses too.
Now, on to the next stage - I'll give you all one guess as to what artist made this beauty for us.
Wow, the unit looks amazing!
Xprime again?
