Medieval 2 Total War - Machiavello mod | Model for an Italian “Uomo d’Arme” Elite Cavalry for the Lordship of Rimini.
The armour ot the horse and the knight are typical mid-1450s italian style - you may note the asymmetric pauldron design - and follow the heraldic patterns of the Malatesta family, more specifically of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, as portrayed by contemporary sources like the Hesperis of Basinio Basini.
“Uomini d’Arme”, or Man-at-Arms indicates professional soldiers that fought mounted and with heavy protections, usually in the livery of their lord, and with elaborate plumes to distinguish each other.
The model is mainly a combination of work made by the mod team and some OSP pack developed for Mount & Blade Warband.
