Hey guys, glad to see work is still continuing on Credo with the help of some very, very awesome modders. This really is the only thing that's letting me hold onto an interest in Skyrim. Everything is looking great, hope you brave few can keep in it till it's finished. I've brought some inspirational pics to share :biggrin:. A few pages back someone suggested giving Tulius some Roman style armor, it was anachronistic for the period the mod is focused on (13th through 15th centuries). However, you could still justify giving the Imperials a "Romanesque" style in their armors since, in reality, the Roman Empire was still using such styles all the way up until 1453. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Nephtys/Romans/Eastern_Romans_20_1453_AD.jpg?t=1245166511 http://larsbrownworth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Byzarmy.jpg http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7802/byzantiumsifonator.jpg http://www.strategie-zone.de/forum/gallery/image.php?mode=medium&album_id=197&image_id=7106 http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1336/77/1336775301152.jpg http://i035.radikal.ru/1107/c7/4a82a5b635c5.jpg http://i082.radikal.ru/1107/45/1e53e361e78e.jpg http://www.medievalists.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/800px-Byzantine_Greek_Alexander_Manuscript_Cataphract_cropped.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Byzantine_Greek_Soldiers_Alexander_Manuscript_Thessaly.JPG

A COUPLE!! lol.. Thanks again Nuked, you always supply some brilliant sources of inspiration.. I lol'd so hard at the pic of the Knight in the living room..lol.. I absolutely love the 14thC pics.. NP, hope they're of good use to you, and if you really want a good laugh, look in the "others" section of my post. I would be very interested to see how that turns out. Sounds like a great idea!

I think this is enough from me for a while.

Hey Actus, you've been doing great work the past two weeks, I was really excited when I saw you released those stand-alone sets! Got tons of reference pics I've been waiting to throw at you. Was without power/internet for a while, we had a major hurricane here. It's been hard to find new Osprey pics online, I actually grabbed some of their books before the storm to read, (had a feeling the power would go out) so I'll see if I can get some of their illustrations posted here. For now, I have a flood of stuff I found through google searches. Tried to focus on getting mainly illustrations and 14th-century-related material, but there's a bunch of other stuff too. I'm not going to check everything posted in the previous pages either, so there might be some repeats lol. Here you go: Personal favorite I found: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs23/f/2008/004/1/8/medieval_knight_by_old_stone_road.jpg Medieval Iberian Armor Styles: http://steel-mastery.com/images/products/full/%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9%20%D1%80%D1%8B%D1%86%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8C%201320-1330.jpg http://www.oocities.org/ihusselbee/crusader/moorsp6.jpg http://www.thewartourist.com/NICE_spanish_knight_faces_aragonese_light_horse_and_castilia_426x600.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9967/cavallerarnssxiii.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DfsKa5pciwU/TL8uUSSZS2I/AAAAAAAABng/5UggVRyRcBg/s1600/mallorca.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PVMX_U4y4Lk/T9N3xluuD_I/AAAAAAAAZPk/aexsxollo-8/s640/JAIME+I+EL+CONQUISTADOR0003.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0rUBirkABBY/T9MtHtMEPlI/AAAAAAAAZMY/YtorXsUYtuU/s640/JAIME+I++EL+CONQUISTADOR0009.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZngCgcTWZdA/T9MT7KtZj8I/AAAAAAAAZKk/uThH2Rhj2Lk/s640/JAIME+I++EL+CONQUISTADOR0007.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/8900/1a88ec516c.jpg Random 14th Century Styles: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3408/61203817my3.jpg http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/1477/crusaders10kt8.jpg http://www.heraldry.ca/images/agin83_400.jpg http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5010/1220039952210maa1.jpg http://www.markchurms.com/Merchant2/graphics/bannockburn-l.jpg 15th Century Styles: http://www.richardiii.net/battle%20images/milford%20haven.gif http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0xjRyJ1uAI/UCQn5MZoYWI/AAAAAAAAA6c/A1CST85Kt4Y/s1600/Tudor+Knights.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WemHOssXe6c/TRC0XqCJ-bI/AAAAAAAAAGI/C4NX35IBUaE/s1600/imgk005df.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WemHOssXe6c/TRC3-irB_vI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/pUqoqsnpszc/s1600/imgk007asd.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xJ7cEAtJifY/UE3aoR9W7cI/AAAAAAAAAHk/I_lPnvidFGM/s1600/swiss-knight-in-field-armor-with-his-page-and-squire-1400s.jpg http://jeriwesterson.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/15th_century_knight_1.jpg http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/901/teutonicknightbyethical.jpg Misc: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CCFOivkcZFw/UCbMX0vDRBI/AAAAAAAAA9M/JsjiMp3vpF4/s1600/Yellow-Ford.jpg http://mirageswar.com/uploads/posts/1198919503_war1241.gif Miniatures: http://www.leadarmy.com/content/images/products/2406/4w.jpg http://www.sierratoysoldier.com/ourstore/pc/catalog/Grenada/G162-1%28M%29.jpg http://www.aeroartinc.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/r/g/rg5_2-4.jpg "Reenactment" Armors: http://www.mycity-military.com/imgs/109859_43403967_march-2004%5B1%5D.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PtpTheuktR8/UHArgXvLUpI/AAAAAAAAAco/6hgQSuGLU88/s1600/Oudart+de+Renty.jpg http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/98193/98193,1200261929,3/stock-photo-medieval-european-heavy-knight-festival-8519098.jpg http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls0hh2q0Ou1qa09nfo1_500.jpg EDIT: Stuff I forgot: Mark Churms and Brian Palmer, two very talented military artists, made these illustrations: http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1315.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1393.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm0975.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm0462.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm0255.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1291.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1169.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1129.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1054.jpg http://www.military-art.com/mall/images/800s/dhm1046.jpg http://diamond-arts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/dhm1198-new.jpg

I really like the new color style on the Yeoman Armor. Slightly resembles the Aedirn archer from the enhanced edition TW2 intro. Keep it up!

I caught your scrapped Stormcloak armor earlier today before you took down the image. It reminded me of the Byzantine (Roman) Varangian Guard. Here's some references if you need any: Fall of Constantinople 1453 - http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Nephtys/Romans/Eastern_Romans_20_1453_AD.jpg Byzantine Mercenaries - http://b.pix.ge:81/l/jyj2p.jpg Byzantine Navy: http://warandgame.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/gf717-1.jpg Varangian Guard: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/khaya/Varangian_Guard.jpg Katafraktoi: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/206/0/d/Klibanaphoroi_by_krstovukoje.jpg

Very nice improvements on the Tullius and Ulfric armors. Site won't let me comment on either pic though, and it's only allowed me to endorse the Tullius armor pic.

Just go with the original theme of crossed daggers for Riften's gaurds. You could replace vanilla's silly looking purple and yellow heraldry with something more fitting to your mod. Like a drawing resembling any of these daggers perhaps: http://www.smithtac.com/files/Knives/V42daggers.JPG http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_501/1273181151ntScdG.jpg http://swordstore.biz/acatalog/ah-3184.jpg

Thought I'd throw more pics at you. Late 14th and early 15th century Peasant/Hussite armies (style for bandits? pavise shields here - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7328): http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/6412/husiteswarwagonigordzis.jpg http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9629/rebelincampesinabundsch.jpg http://dick-k.narod.ru/Historical_Arts/Hussites/Hussites_03.jpg http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/011/3/5/battle_of_halmyros_by_wraithdt-d4lzxng.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/Spongthe1st/MAA_166_E.jpg http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/218/8/f/battle_of_kutna_hora_by_wraithdt-d5a31gr.jpg Russian/Byzantine eastern armor circa 14th century (note the western style plate parts and weapons in their gear): http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6566/guerrerossantarusia.jpg

It looks like a very rudimentary coat of plates or armored surcoat, brand new technology around the late 13th and early 14th centuries. There's a port of the Blue Stripes commandos from The Witcher 2 out there, I remember the light version having some type of coat of plates on it. EDIT: here it is - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7807 look in the user image submissions for it.

Best of luck to you and your mod. :thumbsup: Here's some illustrations from Osprey's Men At Arms books on the late 13th to early 15th centuries: http://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/frencharmiesofthehundredyearsw.jpg?w=700&h= http://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/scan0100.jpg?w=1200&h= http://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/italianmedievalarmies13cs1.jpg?w=700&h= http://dc266.4shared.com/doc/UqeJXlA3/preview001.png
