To bobbin - In Ancient world was many masacres and migrations, in medieval times was many plague epidemic (one of them kiled 1/3 of all European population). And you must take into account diferent
birth-rate and mixing of different race... . In Ancient world was mixed tribes of course, but it was without compare with Europeans of these days... . Nowadays is realy dificult search typical man or woman of some Ancient tribes... .

You can use the ancient texts. For example the description of the Britons.

Tacitus Agricola, XI. 1.

Quant aux premiers occupants de l'île, on ne peut savoir avec certitude, comme toujours dans le cas de peuples barbares, s'ils s'agit d'autochtones ou s'ils sont venus d'ailleurs. 2. Les Bretons présentent plusieurs types physiques, ce qui permet d'étayer autant d'hypothèses. Par exemple, les cheveux roux des Calédoniens et leurs membres allongés attestent une origine germanique. Basanés et souvent crépus, les Silures, dont le territoire est opposé à l'Espagne, donnent à penser qu'autrefois des Ibères ont traversé la mer et se sont fixés sur leurs terres. Ceux qui vivent le plus près de la Gaule ressemblent à ses habitants : soit l'origine ethnique reste marquante, soit le climat a conditionné le type humain dans ces régions qui se font face. 3. En examinant la question dans ses grandes lignes, on peut, malgré tout, concevoir que des Gaulois ont occupé l'île du fait de sa proximité. 4. On peut y retrouver les rites et les croyances religieuses propres à la Gaule; la langue n'est pas très différente; aussi téméraires que les Gaulois, les Bretons aiment prendre des risques, mais devant le danger ils paniquent tout autant et fuient.

11. Who were the original inhabitants of Britain, whether they were indigenous or foreign, is, as usual among barbarians, little known. Their physical characteristics are various, and from these conclusions may be drawn. The red hair and large limbs of the inhabitants of Caledonia point clearly to a German origin. The dark complexion of the Silures, their usually curly hair, and the fact that Spain is the opposite shore to them, are an evidence that Iberians of a former date crossed over and occupied these parts. Those who are nearest to the Gauls are also like them, either from the permanent influence of original descent, or, because in countries which run out so far to meet each other, climate has produced similar physical qualities. But a general survey inclines me to believe that the Gauls established themselves in an island so near to them. Their religious belief may be traced in the strongly-marked British superstition. The language differs but little; there is the same boldness in challenging danger, and, when it is near, the same timidity in shrinking from it. The Britons, however, exhibit more spirit, as being a people whom a long peace has not yet enervated. Indeed we have understood that even the Gauls were once renowned in war; but, after a while, sloth following on ease crept over them, and they lost their courage along with their freedom. This too has happened to the long-conquered tribes of Britain; the rest are still what the Gauls once were.

This was talked about earlier in this thread and there is even a whole other thread created to keep this one on topic. The veiw I subscribe to (and which is there is increasing genetic evidence for) is that in many cases the population hasn't changed much since the advent of farming in the neolithic. With mass replacement of populations being very rare and most conquests consisting of a small foreign elite imposing itself onto a much larger native population leaving very little impact on the population as a whole. If you wish to discuss it further please use the other thread as we need to keep this one clear.

Sports people in general are excellent choices as the are usually very fit and active, something most soldiers would have been.

I guess I could pass as Southern Celt or something (in fact I'm half Italian/half Austrian with a redhaired grandmother)

Or anything! :D

Ps. Sorry for the lack of faces Bobbin, I'm searching the next lot now-ish. Btw did I leave too much 'neck' and not enough 'head' in the last pictures I posted?

No most seemed fine, some were too small though. Don't rush yourself I am currently in the middle of writing my dissertation for university so I won't really have any time to update this thread for the next month.
happy hunting! :)

I've got a request from the Eb team. A couple of months ago two very good Armenian actors died in a car accident, the both of them were very loved by the Armenians from all around the world. It would be very awesome if you guys could use their faces for Hay soldiers or family portraits.
The actors were called Aram “Garik” Miskaryan and Gegham “Gokor” Ghandilyan. Aram was also world champion and a veteran from the Artsakh war. Gegham was a jazz lover and a jeweler or profession.

And here is a picture of me maybe you can use it too.

Karo, since you're Armenian, do you think that Argentinian tennis player David Nalbandian could be used as a Hay face? Does he look like someone from Armenia or his facial features were influenced from ancestors elsewhere?

He doesn't look as most Armenian I would say, if I would see him in the street and din't know who he was wouldn't think he was Armenian. I think there are so many better examples of Aremnians to be used than Nalbandian in my opnion.

@ delablake : Nice picture man ! You're in the game, with a big mustache ! I hope you don't mind... :beam:

Hilarious! I'd been wondering where you'd gotten that face, Gustave. It's one of the best ones I think. Delablake, you really look the part!

Don't stop posting guys we do use your faces and make you hairy:

Awesome. I'll put my face up in a few days.

Yes please! I encourage everyone to keep posting, I've been very busy recently but I'm back now and will updated the thread in next day of two.

Have you guys used mine?

Posted all I had, should be enough for an entire army.

I can't say for definite but I didn't add it to the database, it was too low quality and un-evenly lit. If you can post one that is better quality I'll add it, preferably bigger too.

Perhaps I'm just being silly, but I think Obama could suit the Berbers or other North Africans!

We're keeping clear of well know politicians as they are too controversial, besides Obama is half Kenyan half American so certainly not berber.

Right thats everything up to date, bring on more of the faces please!.

Too true. Obama is not African American or European American. Hes both.

Hey, I'm an Amerindian from the Great Plains. My skin, though, is paler than most of my peers, so you could probably use it for some Iberians or something. I can post it if you want it.

Yes please do, just remember to stick to the guide lines for the picture (needs to be big, from straight on, decent quality, evenly lit, plain expression).

Hello chaps, apologies for the lack of showing. Absolutely swamped with Uni work atm. Here is a very minor contribution.

On a comical note, for the record I think Metallica’s James Hetfield would fit a Germanic warrior awesomely… :P

Don't know if you'll need anymore N. European/Celtic, but I thought I'd throw my mug into the ring...

Cool torque, mah man!

LOL you can get your face put into EBII? Haha. That's hella fun!

Yep if you post a good picture up the team might put it in, for example delablake's face that he posted on this page was used in a unit.

alright...I think I'd be a good canditate for ME....a better canditate for the faction Pontos alone since my father is from the Pontus region and mother from Cappadocia.
I'd say I am a good representor of Anatolia :P
anyways here you go..I'd love to see myself in game :P
