Oh he looks nice.
Very nice even.

**Ultras DVSC** · 03-10-2006, 19:16

Why does he have yellow on his right side?

heraldry? perhaps mercenary companies like the Free Companies and the Catalan Grand Company could be introduced...

i like the looks o'this fella, an upgrade from the Swabian Swordsmen perhaps.

Ultras,

I suspect that some of the repeating factions in M2TW will utilize the same colors as they did in MTW. Being a German/HRE unit, I am guessing that's the case here: There are two colors on the Zweihander's armor, black and yellow -- the HRE's colors in MTW.

I must say he looks like pretty nifty. In a beheading sort of way.

Cheers,

G. le B.

Nice. A good start actually. I don't think anyone can complain about that one.

I must say that it is looking very good indeed! There are no extra belts or bulky armour to make him look exciting. Displaying faction colours are always tricky with an unit that is supposed to be in full plate. The only remark I have is that normally the plackart was not coloured and the armour beneath it could have (brigandine), but that is nitpicking with such lovely detailed armour.

2 thumbs up for the artist
