Any clue where to get these items? Or if discontinued, does someone have an uploaded file link?

I have seen a few renders over the years using these materials, but the link here is dead, and no idea where to find them.

I love the look and would like to revitalize them with some updated textures with newer models.

    I found it, but is M3 the Genesis model?

    No that will be Michael 3, the precursor to Michael 4 whos is the figure before Genesis

    Thank you for the clarification.  In your estimation, would the weapons, shileds, and helmets be usable with only minor adjustments on the Michael 4 model?

    There is a Genesis/M4 to Genesis 2/M6 model porter that allows us to used Gen1 items and outfits with Gen2 models, is there a program that would allow me to use Michael 3 items with Gen2 Males?  Or are they vastly different and wider appart due to the independant company ventures of Daz and Poser development?

    Those points I cannot address as Michael 4 is as 'far back' as I have gone with figure use.

    I have the Salamis Mercenary, its okay, I only bought it for the footware. It's a bit too Hollywood, and not historic. I wish a designer would revisit the older design.

     

    The Hoplite was under consideration when I bought the other, and out of the two, the Salamis Mercenary looked less of a modernist contrivance. I want realism, not 300.

     

    A particular disapointment in the set I bought was the helmet. Its not smooth edges like I thought, and the brows tend to clip through it in certain expressions, it has a rushed to market or incomplete feel. There are no baked in adjustments for the armor either.

    But it do love those sandles! :)
