Celtiberian Heavy Infantry turned out very well indeed.

Related - best looking hoplite skin? I especially like the Pontos and Epeiros ones.
Does Baktria use the Ptolemaioi/Seleucid one? I seem to remember them having a unique skin...

Best looking units - most of the heavy units in the game look great.
Grivpanar, Baktrian Hetairoi, Sacred Band cav and Armenian and Sarmatian Bodyguards for cavalry. Also love the tatooed elephants!
Scordisci, libyan heavies, scortamerva, carnutes, elite thracians, epeirote elite, greek heavy hoplites, saba nobles, and garamantines all stand out in my mind for infantry (among many others).
Without exception the general's skins look great, my favorites being the Makedonian, Seleucid and Arverni.

Compliments to the artists.

One comment of the Goildilac nobles.

Is there picture leaning to one side or is it just a eye trick?

If you mean he's standing in the famous contra posto, then yes.

It's a half-horse half-seaserpent from Greek mythology.

I am particulary fond of the Aedui Carnutes and Solduros.

Indohellenikoi eugeneis hoplitai, Carnutes and Selucid Kataphraktoi. There are of course more units, but these three as the best looking hoplite, assault infantry and cavalry.

So who can recruit the Indohellenikoi eugeneis hoplitai? In the custom battles I only found him for Saka, not Baktria.

They're in the easternmost corners of the map at India. It looks like five provinces can recruit them. Check your recruitment viewer.

Here is one of my favorites

Peltastai Makedonikoi



The Indohellenikoi Eugeneis Hoplitai are also pretty sweet.

The Arverni Solduros has a better looking shield IMO and the unit that the Arverni get instead of the Carnutes looks way better. btw where can I find these unit models?

Here are some pics. You can find it at the offical EB site. https://www.europabarbarorum.com/


The Arverni Solduros


and the Arjos


I didn't like the Arverni style Solduros as much because of the color scheme. I just prefer red and yellow over black and yellow.

I don't like the Arjos as much as the Carnute Cingetos because the Arjos resemble the Galatian spearmen too much IMO (they're basically the same unit). Plus the horned helmets of the Carnutes is pleasing to my eye Haha just kidding.

I like the shields that Baktrian generals use - a real work of art. They don't show up in the illustrations, only on the battlefield itself.

Generals get the most detail, so everybody loves those

btw, in case anyone was wondering, that's not a loincloth the Gaesatae's wearing, they just let their pubic hair grow really long
