It's not a guide - it's a set of suggestions. It is unaffected by the new edition. I'm not going to label these mini-sketches, but these are my non-canonical take on central Genertelan forces. The Lunar/Orlanthi/Praxian/Yelmalions etc. should be easy to identify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskindt Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I was curious if your suggestions had continued to evolve as the new edition with the latest art direction became publicly available. I appreciate having your suggestions and the visual reference. Would it be possible to have your visual reference in higher resolution though? I lose a ton of detail when I try to zoom in for closer inspection. There are some obvious units, but some of them it’s not immediately apparent what forces they’re meant to represent.

At present I can't provide larger images (hoping that the book might be published in some form, one day). These are all seriously reduced in size. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Hunter Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Not to detract from Martin's sterling work, you can also get a very Gloranthan feel by mixing and matching, parts from different models. I just created a very believable(but unmounted) Grazelander figure by combining late Roman infantry body, Scythian style head and Mongol bow and quiver.

borbetomagnus Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Victrix Limited currently has a Free Worldwide Postage discount code (AUTUMNSALE) through 21 October 2019 on orders of £75 or more. I'm planning to use it to get a few sets of their Ancients line to use as Gloranthan figures. Probably a set of Gauls and the Celtic Chariot set looks cool for Sartarites. I'm considering a set of the early Romans for Lunars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
