Are up at the .Com
Dunno if they are accurate or not. Anybody have some opinions?

Hmm... again not very colorful (the Scythians loved their colors). And I think he should be in a saddle, and use the lance with two hands. But I don't know so much about the Scythians in this period since this was when they started being displaced by the Sarmatians. But one thing is for sure, RTW certiantly suffers from having everyone on horseback on the same brown horse. ~:(

Fine. But most of the horses are the same. I haven't seen a piebald yet...

its not really complicated if its truly modable i'd just skin the horse, photoshop and a texture of the horse skin is ready and your good to go.

Hmm it looks fine.
What the hell? These guys should have bows too! I expected Scythian Nobles to be exactly like Boyars or Sipahi of the Porte, not a one trick pony like this... (pun intended) ~;p

Yeah, I wish they had more bow/spear/sword units, since many warriors were indeed equipped with multiple weapons.

Well the same could have been said about Golden Horde Horsearchers and heavies in MTW ( HA had a couple of javelins and lassoes, MHC had bows )
Looks quite nice, I like them and check out the unit description...don't use a shield so both hands free to use lance. I can live with them having just a lance when I think of the hordes of Scythian Horsearchers who can accompany them ~D
...... Heads .. Scythians, tails...Parthians ~:dizzy:

Looks good! Except the shape of helmet - its summit must be not sharp.
But view and description of this unit are fit for Sarmatians, not Scythians. ~;p

I like it. Although, IIRC, bows should be compulsory...

Hey Aymar, long time no see. I thought that mabye you had died of shock of some of the things in RTW. ~:joker: I wish the lancers would really use two hands for their kontos, rather than just saying it in the description. ~:(
