    Default Attack of the Killer Unit Preview Thread

    Ok, here is a unit Caratacos has visualized for us. Guess the unit (gotta get it exactly right) and the faction and we'll show you the real thing.

    TA this one really looks difficult.

    I really can think in a lot of units, but my first guess will be...

    Getai General.

    Dam you Sand Ray, turning such works of art into piles of sand, except for a few choice spots!

    Hmmm please be right....Baktrian General/Guard

    The helmet makes me think something not quite so far east, or else a reformed saka unit of some sort.

    Some sort of Thracian cavalry for the Makedonians.

    Heavy cavalry it looks like - the fellow is carrying a machaira.

    Plagued by guesses of sandstorms and particle monsters, I'll reveal all of Caratacos' work here, but I won't say what it is yet. No one has gotten it exactly right yet though. But some have gotten close.

    Something makes me think "Balkans". A Getai unit perhaps? I'm tempted to think it's Thracian because of the sword.

    If I t'were hazard a guess, it would be some sort of heavy calvary, either of Lusotannian (err ... the spanish guys) or Geata (a.k.a. the Thracian/Dalmatians), and since we've recently had a Geata unit revealed, I'll go with Lusotanian.

    edit: DOH!!, Too late!

    a getai general? yes but the artist? i only know aymar de bois mauri in the lusotann preview (sorry for the spell) you guys should make a thread with some examples of every artist's units so we can recognize the style of every single artist...

    but i could have missed a thread like this cause i cant read everythink... or it's just me that have a very bad memory

    But I thought EB units were supposed to be "poor" though.

    Yeah, it's Xprime by the way.
