This looks very good - the equipment, the detail... I have one remark, however. Why the skin of most of those soldiers is so smooth and their faces so happy? It deprives them of character. They look like happy boys with weapons.

I can't see anyone smiling XD
They even have wrinkles around the eyes and nose...

Do they look like fearsome warriors screaming their battle cries?

BTW look at the legs of one of the soldiers. Is he 8 years old or what?

The guy on the left - his eyes are completely devoid of life, his skin is smooth and his haircut looks unfinished. The guy on the right looks much better.

You are not seriously finding mistakes in such well made units? Have you tired to compare them to vanilla MTW2?

The screenshots were taken with the cinematic editor, you will never look at the units so close ingame. It's easy to find mistakes with such a level of zoom; but I think they look good enough.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Also, have you guys noticed that we tweaked the lightning a bit ?
edit :

The celts did remove their body hair...
Also those you posted look like they are some lower class warrior, they can be somewhat not so acquainted to fighting... I see them exhorting eachother.
The second pic (i believe they are the boii nietos) look like some sturdy and impassable soldiers who live by fighting...

Exactly

Haha... Gustave i think you were tricked into showing more screenshots

It looks like a full scale invasion of the Sahara by the Boii

Look at the horses' fibulae!
Did you manage to make different horses? (for example a big boned Nisean and ponies)

Awesome battle pics, Gustave.

On a game-engine note: I don't believe that there's a shouting animation in the game, so you have to choose between a ever-screaming one or those posted...
