New mercenary units



Lybian Infantry.
Spearmen armed with some javelins to throw before they engage the enemy. These men can be relied to hold the line for a while until heavier troops arrive or to engage light cavalry but should not be expected to hold in prolongued melee with heavy infantry or cavalry.


Nubian Spearmen
Common mostly on the Egyptian armies some of these men venture even further north looking for an employer. Usefull as supporting troops they shouldn't be expected to make a difference on the battlefield, but to help others do it.


Scordisci Mercenaries
Heavy infantry that can hold their ground against most enemies. As any other "non-speared" infantry they shouldn't be exposed to heavy cavalry charges.


Scythian Mercenary Axemen
When the Scythians were overrun from their lands by the Sarmatian and Roxolanni, not all of them perished or assimilated the conqueror's culture. Some of them decided to migrate and gain their life as mercenaries.
Fierce warriors, these men can tear apart unarmoured opponents and even put up a good fight against armoured ones when well used.


Greek Mercenaries
Mercenaries were always abundant in the greek world since most of the times its city states could not afford to have a permanent army and used mercenaries in their times of need. These men adapted and are the substitutes of the hoplite mercenaries.
Armed with a sword and javelins these men are well armed and well trained and are an excellent addition to any general that can afford them.

Now, another opinion. Wich one of these shields do you prefer?

This one, with Philip II of Macedon and the diadochus Lysimachus


This, with the Kings and the Thracian symbol


These with just the Thracian symbol



Or this one?

I'm not sure about the first two, they both seem a little bit odd to me.

As for the second, I like the one with the Kings and the Thracian symbol.

BTW its looking good neo!

New mercs:
For Syria. Archers and Infantry. I need two opinions though.






Veil or no veil? Sword or Spear? I'm inclined towards the spearmen, but I'm having serious doubts about the veil.

And Nabateans

Spearmen, and no veil - at least not a chainmail one.

They all look great though.  :knight:
