EB news - Friday, March 11

[khelvan]

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans!

I have just a short update for you this week, with a few new units.

First, we have the Briton Silurii Byrnai, modelled by Prometheus and skinned by Spartan Merc. The Byrnai (Spearmen) of the Silures are the basic foot soldiers of the fierce southern tribe. The Silures are a powerful tribe; disciplined, well trained, and brave.



Next we have the Thanuvaniya foot archers, modelled and skinned by Weirdshady. These foot archers almost certainly represented the poorer elements of the various infantry levies of Parthia. These men are skirmishers only and not inclined to close with enemy troops.




Finally, I want to throw you horse archer fanatics a little bone. Here we have Baktrian Dahae, Scythian Light Cavalry, Parthian Dahae, Sarmatian Aorsi Riders, and Steppe Cavalry. Steppe Cavalry: These light horsemen come from the Pontic steppe north of the Black sea. They are the Scythians, and for many a long year were the scourge of civilized nations everywhere.




Please note that unless stated otherwise, ALL pictures shown in our news posts are of works in progress. We continue to improve on all parts of EB, and will do so long after our initial release.
