I think I read on the TWC that it is a completely new unit? Fascinating.

EDIT:

Finished two indian models, turbans, knots and all you can ask for.~Tux

Are they the Longhaired Companions then?

Speutagardaz could also be possible seeing the huge spearheads, no reason to think they would use the small strap shields from EBI. If they were front liners then they would definately use an large shield. Romans said the Cherusci front liners used large spears and those behind ordinary spears. So could be possible I gues. Didn't Tacitus or someone else said that it wasn't weird that iron was sparse because some Germanics used huge spearpoints?(Speutagardaz?)

At least nice to know its an Germanic unit ;).

Define germanic unit.

You said we could gues its name on Twitter so its not a new unit. Its an existing one in EBI and probably completely remade. It seemed like an Belgae unit or Celto-Germanic unit but you said that wasn't true. Then seeing Germanic shoes and influences it definately seems Germanic.

I gues I'm with Speutogardaz then.

Finished two helmet models, one of them as a sneak peak: http://bit.ly/aVueUr ~Tux Is it Molosson Agema,or Epirote Bodyguard helmets ?

**Phalanx300** · 06-19-2010, 15:48

Seems to me Polybian Triarii helmets.

Am more wondering on the identity of those Germanic or Germanic like units though.

**Tux** · 06-19-2010, 15:54

No I didn't say that I said on twitter, but if you can guess region/faction/name of the unit. It can be one of those, all three of those or combinations.

Wrong answers related to the helmet too.

EDIT:

BTW I'll set a deadline, on the 23rd June. If no one answers correctly then no bonus will be given but at least it, mystery, will be revealed.
