[Model] Medieval Swordsman

[Jumbo]

Hey, im making a medieval RTS campaign and need a realistic swordsman. I thought of something like a medieval swordsman plated like a footman with a helm like this:

Especially footsoldiers did not use closed helms (like the one the wc3 footman has) so that they were able to have a better view, not be hard of hearing, though still be protected from attacks against the head. Also the top was curved to avoid that attacks from directly above would go through the helm (although a flat top looks nicer, its your decision to add it or not, both would be great.).

Ofc i would use this myself, but other ppl would surely use it too, since there are too few medieval units made.

Such an unnecessary request. I'm sure no one will care about the historical differences you mentioned, but if you care that much you can use the 'water lieutenant with no helmet' footman which is located in the models section. There's probably an attachment that is a similar version to your helmet on this site or wc3campaigns.net

Next time, use the guidelines featured in Xlightscreen's sticky for doing a request.

sry this was my first request, i read the guide (though a bit fast) and i just thought i would have to give a good reason, it isnt rly that important i've just been interrested in the middle age lately, but nvm. Anyways thx for tips..

 

[Massive_attack]

if its not important dont request it ! Wc3 has tons of units, like the bandit, that this could work with.

honestly ppl dont care that much about models, you can name a bandit : SWORDSMAN even though he carrys an axe, only the occasional smart-ass would give a shit.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

ffs if you don't want to do a request, you have a right not to do it. Just don't tie the fucking requester up and beat him.

It would still be a good helmet for a viking or something

Ok, and please read up on your history....

and post some work on ur map first then some modelers might help you...

(Medieval Swordsman had all kind of helmets..."Wc3 Footman/swordsman have got it right.)

 

[Jumbo]

ye ofc medieval warriors had all kind of helmets, i just forgot to mention that i meant the normans in the holy land -.- . Lol i should never have made this fucking thread, i wont be getting anything anyway..

 

[Elenai]

Probably not with that kind of language.

Here is your helmet. Just merge it in vertex modify with an edited footman, or just attach to the person's head like an item.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

If you have extra time, perhaps give him some chainmail and less armor aswell.

And Robot dude, you should read up you history aswell, only knights (and those arent basic soldiers) had closed helmets, simple swordsman (the things jombo is reffering to) carried most of the times that kind of helmets. (or no helmets at all.)

And jombo, getting a model made for you is extra, dont count on extra's

 

[Elenai]

I made the helmet Jombo1. Its up in the posts above.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Pretty nice work, youl get rep for that

 

[Elenai]

Here is a quick footman edit just incase.

 

[Mechanical Man]

That helmet will also fit to more other medieval infantry, like archers, crossbowmen and pikemen, those geomerges with footman's head look very ugly.

 

[Elenai]

I know it looks rather ugly. But that was one very difficult thing to try and do. I'm so used to working with full helms, not this thing called a metal hat.

Oh well its this or nothing I suppose. It will hopefully look better ingame.

 

[Mechanical Man]

No, I meant wc3 geomerged footman helmet. Although I do not like the elven face unless you wanted to do an elf footman. And that helmet is too large for this guy. XD

 

[Jumbo]

omg elenai, thanks its rly nice of you ;D!

To tell a little about my campaign, i plan it to be a bit like the old stronghold game and the 2th from firefly(if anybody knows them), the helms were wrong in that game though, heh.

More detailed, im going to make some maps like invasions, where the player builds a base on the map and have to survive invasions until a certain time and then win, the other type is siege where the player lay siege to an enemy castle.
Im using music from the game and the building system like in illidan and vg's Red alert project (if anyone can tell me how to do it, or maybe i'll find out myself :S). All units have custom models or skins (and there stats are done), dunno about the buildings though.

 

[Elenai]

You are most welcome Jombo1. And as always tell me of any bugs in the model and yadayadayada. How about some screenies of this project Jombo1.

I love screenies.

Actually, the helmet isn't too large, I think the head is just too small XP
