Love the mod! Really captures the perfect State Trooper. Although, I suggest to make their colors darker, and maybe have a little more color in general (ie red) These are soldiers, and those bright and shiny white clothes with un tattered armor clashes with it imo. As do tights and crotch hammocks. Cheers!

the only gripes for the troops is of course the crotch hammocks and the tights along with the troops lacking helms or wearing floppy hats,

@Dino I can look at the color pallet again, though I probably wont change the pallet drasticly as it is represntative of the actual herdry of the faction as presented and described in the primary GW sources.

@Chef: Floppy hats will remain as will the lack of helmets as they are consitant with the lore. Blame the crotch hammocks on the time period... lol. I am not trying to stray too far from the lore on this project and some concession are necisary.

as the best equipped empire army, all (melee) state troops of reikland should have helmets. i would also give the greatswords the "Plate Armor" (Lore) look. just change arms and legs with the knight ones and keep head with floppy variants. should identify them as a part of the empire melee troops but not looking that "knightly". just a thought. great work

Actually lore wise Reikland state troops and greatswords were very similarly armored, not to mention they did as a matter of fact wear a lot of floppy hats. Source: Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire [i.imgur.com]

They do in indeed wear a great deal of floppy hats, this is why personaly i feel as if my mod is not neccarly lore frendly but more lore inspired. I used the guide above extensivly in my research awesome little booklet and a great primary resource.

Very, very good! The only thing that I say that could be improved is the variety of headgear across all units. Other than that this is without a doubt the best reskin/remodel I've yet seen!

Hey Lt just wondering if you'd like some assistance ?? The empire is my personal favourite, was going to do unique factions aswell but I like where these ones are going :)

@Adopotato Absolutely, I was looking at your lore frendly reskin as insperation for Averland and was extremely impressed by what you managed to achieve so far. I would greatly aprecate any assitance or advice you could offer.

My two fav. reskin modders working together, is this real life?!

Oh I've an idea, perhaps add officers to each company? ie just a higher-quality looking soldier in the front, full plate and all, idk : )

Floppy hats, codpeices, and tights are just as much a part of the empire as steel, faith, and gunpowder. You'll take them from my cold dead hands.

How about to give hats to greatswords and weapon crews? Or helmets with hats above them like this:

And maybe you add gunpowder pouches (from vanilla artillery crews) to handgunners?

I love how distincitve each state and their inhabitants are in the lore. The game suffers though by having the Empire recruit a Reikland theme purely. Is there any way to have the Empire recruit faction specific variations depending on the cities' location? That way you'd end up with the patchwork forces of the Empire that are led by Franz and co
