Regarding the Serpent Knights skin:
I don’t know if this is still a WIP, or if it’s finished and my comments aren’t welcome, but take’m for whatever they’re worth While I would agree that a little more armor is in order, I would caution you against making them heavily armored, like the Gondorian knights or Tower Guard. These are a desert people, after all, and desert civilizations have tended to be very light on their armor on account of the heat. One thing I would note, though, is that there doesn’t appear to be any Serpent motif on the image of the Serpent Knights at all. That’s the only issue I’d take with the shield – I’d think Serpent Knights would have their emblem on their shield. My humble suggestion is that this skin be used as a Southron Raider unit, a light and fast cavalry, while the Serpent Knights be made of a different skin and held as the elite cavalry units.

So, I think it's a good skin, but I think it would be better applied to a light raider unit rather than the elite knights of the Serpet King. That's just my opinion, though

This unit, on the other hand - http://forums.revora...pe=post&id=9891 - would make a very good Serpent Knight, I think, if it's helm (turban) were recolored red, and a shield with a Serpent emblem was added. Sure, technically the Serpent Knights are supposed to have scimitars - but I really like their light armor, and the lances look very good, so I think they'd work well.

The Serpent Knights are Sûladans personal guard.. Im still reskinning them, since now they use some CaH skin. (I'm not fond of using CaH skins)
