Sorry folks...I posted the WIP late and had to sleep. The troops are very lo-poly models made in Wings. There are different material groups set for their parts so colors can be set. They average 3000-5000 polys for each stick of 10 men. (I did a recount and there are 360 so far) Up close they look like toy soldiers as I made them for epic(distant) battle scenes. I will be glad to share them after the Challenge. ;) If there is interest I'll make some lo-rez units from other eras also.
By the way Flak... I have wanted to do an epic scene ever since I saw your awesome castle siege. That still blows me away everytime I look at it! I was trying not to do any postwork for this challenge since Zhann mentioned that in the outline for this month. Thanks for the tip on the Battle of Monmouth, I'll check that out.

I'll post a close up tonight if you all won't laugh! You will though! I have started on the horses...who needs sleep anyway?
