winged helms for gauls

**the_handsome_viking** · 08-20-2005, 10:02

i was just wondering if there would be any winged helms for the gauls in this mod?

personally I think that a winged helm would go well with a general.

There are many 'winged' helmets that the Celts employed; which manner do you mean? I won't reveal too much without being told I may, but I can say that we are finding a place among them for unique or interesting/rare helmets where they would be appropriate.

No. That one is from WW2 -notice the side badge.

BTW, only German and AH officers used the spike helmet in late WW1. Soldiers' one was similar to the WW2 helmets, at least after the first months of war. Spike helmets for soldiers were more common in early WW1, specially among Austrian-Hungarian troops.

Officers disliked it because marked them as gold prize for enemy snipers.

I know there were many variations of winged helmets , its just many of them i think are very nice looking and look forwards to seeing them in the game.

and you answered my question about the apperence of these helms anyway i think =) =) =)
