Roman Infantry Pack

This bundle is marked as awaiting update. A staff member has requested changes to it before it can be approved.
"Once upon a time some very angry men with short hair declared a defensive world on Europe and basically won, until they didn't."
- HerrDave on Roman History

- Roman Pilum-thrower (Chain)
- Roman Swordsman (Cloth)
- Roman Swordsman (Chain)

Oh, wow! Exactly what I was looking for!

EDIT
The model works great, but the game interface icon is glitchy

This is fresh, we need more of this types of models, do some Carthaginians or Greeks next, That might spawn a couple of new fresh maps.
I find these a very good fit for the wc3 art style, great job.
Before he does I would recommend giving the infantry the ability to collect resources and build similar to how the Romans would actually use their Legions. I would also hope at some point for some Equites, Slingers and Auxiliary units before moving to the Greeks or Diadochi. The Carthaginian units would be very similar to that of the Greeks and Diadochi so I do not know if they would warrant their own pack. Also it should be noted these are Late Republic to Early Imperial Romans so they would not have been the Romans that fought Carthage. Fingolfins model here is a Roman from the Mid-Republic who would have fought Carthage Roman Legionnaire (Polybian)

I was trying to find this pack to download again, so I searched "Roman" and this didn't pop up.

Then I saw there was an update request by the moderation staff, which is why I guess the filters kept it from immediately popping up on the Model search.

Would love to see this one get completed, it deserves coverage.

As always, you have some of the best models.

Well Dave is not adding additional models to the pack. Now when a patch would occur to fix the sanity check I am unsure. I am currently working on an addon pack for this having formerly studied the Romans in College to make a nice and complete roster. The Aquila bearer, and the Centurion are almost done. The Legionary in plate is already done.

Update: 8 of the 9 that will be in the initial release are done. The last one that needs to be done is the Imaginifer. I am likely going to cut the Vexillarius from the pack for now (he would have been number 10) because I have not quite been able to get the banner to work properly. He may be added if I can figure it out by the weekend or be updated into the pack if I get it to work later on.

Update 2: Finalizations are being made. Almost forgot the Slingers. They may be a bit rough but better than no slingers at all. No cavalry as a heads up will be present in this pack they will be in a separate one in the future.

Update 3: Everything is on track. 11 Romans are done. After minor adjustments I will give the Vexillarius one last attempt. Pack should be released tomorrow if not this evening depending on how it goes.

To be more precise, default search excludes "awaiting updates", so you just have to tick it !

This is f-ing sweet. Ancient greek models would be too.....just an idea
I know this is a late reply but there is actually enough stuff on Hive to cobble together the Greeks. If you want me to dm you the models to use for the most accurate possible Greeks with this method let me know.

Edit: I only know this from looking in every corner of the site for models in the past to see what is lacking for my long term plans on what can be added.
