Edit: Only just noticed that I managed to make two threads for this submission and that Ive been updating this one that got buried! In hindsight I probably should have posted my concept/work in progress as replies instead of just updating this initial post.
Thought I'd finally get round to joining Polycount and posting my Contest Submission (before it gets too late!)
More or less finished the set which is based on the idea of reinforcing the Sand Kings armour. There are still some tweaks I wish to do and with the extended time I'm tempted to create a different head. Let me know what you think and thanks for viewing!

Final-
Slight texture update to the helm to try and make it fit better with the rest of the pack though currently sticking with the original (shown in the above image) as it seems a little to cluttered.
Also attempted to make a new helm however haven't had the time to really work on it and personally don't think it was turning out to be an improvement on the original!
