Title: GOIO factions: their troops
Post by: C r o w on April 18, 2016, 11:08:33 am
(I know that most of my post degenerate in something idiotic, I hope not this one too.)

From an Alliance artwork we could see the design of some troops of the various factions, but I bet that they have multiple designs for the uniforms, especially the baronies, the guild and the order, since they have the flashiest and less useful designs for uniforms.

Discuss the probable outfit design and even post some images if you want.


This is how I imagine Anglean shock troopers during an ambush assault

according to official art, the Fjord Baronies soldiers look disturbingly similar to the KKK lol

"And fjord baronies, with their forgotten ability"

Genocide.

Those pointed hats are called "Capirote" and they were part of some Spanish Religious festival long before the KKK cooped the look.

Also I'm guessing that Baronies subscribe to the hat theory.  The bigger, fancier, and more impractical the hat, the more important the wearer.

Personally, I feel/think/hope that the Angleans might have some mechanized stuff.  I'm not talking power armor, but gadgets built into their gear seams like a possibility.  However, I don't think they would have as much emphasis on uniforms.  I can definitely see them purposefully making themselves look barbaric, which would give their raiders a psychological edge.

I have more hats, therefore I'm the commander https://1d4chan.org/images/f/f5/Grand_High_Motherfucking_General_Of_The_Universe.jpg

I've noticed that sometime earlier after rewatching the trailer, but i've noticed someone go with "ability" recently and purposefully hopped on the bandwagon


Though there is something to be said about the forgotten nobility of KKK...

The official costumes look epic!!!

The finished costumes look very similar to the concept arts. I cannot wait to try them.  :D

those aren't as bad as I expected. I actually think they look cool. Like a mixture of fire-nation uniforms with the colours of the air-nomads

The people of Thailand must love being conflated with the fire nation.

Well I saw my angleans.
I like em, they look a bit fat, but that's necessary when your home is a frozen mountain.

However...these don't look like combat uniforms.
They look like dress uniforms.
Or is that all the color misleading me?

We have one outfit for combat units, whic is "Son", the one you get at the begining.
Maybe those clothes are really like, how nobles will look like?
After all I doubt that Angleans with their lacking resources and icy surrounding would spend tons for dyes to actually make every uniform colorfull :P

I think the uniforms would be totally different, especially in Arashi troops, where they really have what they had before, and what their personal tribes can gather.
Maybe makeovers of salvaged uniforms of other troops?

..... Oh, you must have found a can of dye in the frozen paintshop somewhere below the ice!

(Of course I was proven wrong, but I can still defend my point)

Wrong again :P

I went on a hunt in Yeshan Territory, Killed a Patrol Ship and stole their Warlords Hat. I stole the Dye from their ship.

I think this Yeshan Hat suits me

Yeah, it surely does!
Last week we got a lot of loot from Arashi ship that was scouting Yeshan borders.
Unfortunately, our gunner got his hands frotbitten after walking a day in their uniform...
