Your modelling skills have become great now you need to boost them texture skills. Have a look at how the armor for the elephant is done for reflections.

Look at prolighting sky's demo by Andrew price and look for free HDR textures you can set in the world as an environment texture.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone That helmet itself is Sarmatian I believe, which would be ok. It's just the face armour/mask that's conjecture. 

@Alexandermb & @wackyserious, I hope this helps a little. A collection of what I think are pretty historically accurate images of the Persian army during 0AD's timeframe. Remember they use mercenaries from all over, including Sarmatians, Scythians, Greeks, Indians, Egyptians, even "Aethiopians", so that also influenced their army composition and equipment over time.

Brace yourselves:

Oddly enough, the Persian quiver looks Greek to me and the "Greek" quiver looks Persian to me. The Persians stored their bows in their quiver along with their arrows.

I think you're kind of right/wrong :P .... Persian quiver for the immortals is actually good. They carried the bow on their shoulder.

The fancy broad "Greek" quiver here (bow and arrow case), is some kind of variation of the Gorytos, I believe, which is actually originally a Scythian quiver/bow-case, and was used by both Persian and Greek levies, and probably found it's way to native troops on both sides of the Bosphorus, through Scythians, Sarmatians and Thracians.

The "standard" Greek quiver is more bland looking, I think:

Both types of quiver next to each-other, just to confuse us even more :LOL:
