Greetings one and all,
And welcome to another Ilsamiren Wars update! This week I have three more work-in-progress models to show you as well as a new concept. First up is the Ilsamir noble's mace. The Ilsamiri favour blades over maces, but these much more ancient weapons are often used in ceremonial circumstances by the aristocracy. This example has a shaft of hard-wood and a bronze head and pommel cap. The model is based on the concept on the right (by Kataphraktoi) which shows an Ilsamir nobleman in full hunting gear - the Ilsamir elite like nothing more than to go charging about the country-side in rich panoply :) .
Next we have two models for the Mekathenain culture - both in their WIP stages. On the left is the kind of sword used by the Hunters, an elite unit in the Mekathenain army (the concept for which can be seen at our forums). It has a simple handle of hard-wood and the cross-guard is reinforced with steel on its blade-facing side. On the right is an ancient form of knife used by the Lord's Men, another elite group, charged with the protection at all costs of the Lords of the Mekathenain. The weapon has its roots in the ancient days when the Mekathenain were but one of many nomadic tribes wandering the Rainless Wastes.
That's all for this week. Next week we may very well have some in-game shots.
Thanks for reading!
Ilsamir Lord
