Looks nice! I'd look at a tileset in this style.

If you are looking for Amplio units. I have collected and units myself. Also have trident units... You can discuss art here as well where I posted much more:

But best of all I actually used these new graphics for several of my scenario games. :)

To XYZ, one of the units in your attachment looks close to what I'm looking for - a Medic/Doctor. But the caduceus doesn't look enough like a caduceus. Also want a Mechanic, a human holding an oversized wrench. Want to take advantage of the new "Heal Unit" action - Medic would heal humanoid units, Mechanic would heal mechanized military units.

Correction - despite knowing that people often mix up the caduceus of Hermes with the Rod of Asclepius, I went ahead and mixed them up. The caduceus of Hermes has 2 snakes entwined around a staff, and a pair of wings. The Rod of Asclepius, properly used as a medical symbol, has one snake and no wings.

What I'm looking for is a unit graphic of a white-coated human with a Rod of Asclepius, or perhaps even better, a Star of Life. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_Life -
The Star of Life is a symbol used to identify emergency medical services. It features a blue six-pointed star, outlined by a white border. The middle contains a Rod of Asclepius – an ancient symbol of medicine.

Are you referring to the chemist graphic? I think that's a DNA double helix. Perhaps for a medic, a ICRC recognized symbol would be best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emblems_o ... ed_Crystal

Here is your doctor. You can cut out the red cross if you don't like it. Adapted the scientist and gave him a flipchart.
