Hey Ilsamir, I replied to ur PM, hope u recieved it.

I'll additionally draw up concept designs just in case u might want to use them. I won't be able to scan these designs until i get back home in 2 weeks time, but I may use a hi-res digital camera I have on me.

two draft concepts:

The one on the left is a medium/heavy infantryman who wears a segmented plates of armour with plate greaves and vambraces. Armed with a spear that has a falx-blade at the end and carries a medium-sized shield with a spikes boss. Wears a spiked helmet as last-resort hand weapon.

The one on the right is a heavily armoured bodyguard/heavy infantrymen soldier type. Wears a long coat of mail underneath a richly embroidered silk garment with a lamellar cuirass wrapped around it. MAIN weapons are the mace and a set of bow and quiver.

This guy here has a suit of armour made from composite leather-iron plates cunningly connected together with no appearance of straps. His weapons are a curved saber and not shown is a lance made from complete metal.

Wow! those are neat concepts!!!

Indeed! I think they would be better for the Mechathenain myself, I want the Ilsamir to be a little more traditionally European. They are perfect for the Mechathenain though!

They are all excellent regardless!

For the ease of those viewing here are the concepts in order:

how traditionally european??

what do you of a military list of warriors belonging to a single race but are not a faction because they're homeland is occupied by several factions or they have been dispersed through conquest and serve as highly coveted bodyguard units??

As for faction previews in the future why not use "primary material" if the factino has a written language. Eg. Chinese have the Bing Fa *Art of War' tp de3sribe their military system. WHy not the Ilsamir, etc, etc...
