Meanwhile...
Someone asked to see my sketches aways back... so here's a progression of how things work... sort of...
Saka Elite/Heavy Cataphract:
... and then colour (abviously)
As you can see there were a few changes-- mainly to the horse armour.
Hayasdan General:
I wasn't vey happy with the horse in this one. I still aren't but it does look a helluva lot better than the orignal (as you can no doubt see).... ughhhh
Pontos General:
This one actually had pretty much been designed (after a very lengthy discussion) and didn't require any real changes in design-- Thanks again, Dave.
Unfortunately as I have other commitments and do this in my spare time they were a little bit too rushed for my liking. If I could redo them I'd definitely tidy up the scale armour a bit (particularly the Pontos Gen.).
So yeah... they start off really ugly and then I sort of hammer out most (not all) of the ugly bits until i'm happy (though never totally happy) with them.
