The new Warhammer mod is great. Im a big Empire fan and need help off anyone please! There are just a few units that need adding to the Empire faction which would make a huge difference:

The Hellblaster

The War Wagon

The War Altar of Sigmar

If anyone could help then please let me know. :goodjob:

These would be great to have!
More WH units = EVEN better WH mod! :D

Although, i would want to see cleo replaced by a real vampire first...

Yes, there are dozens of "must-have" units needed in the WH mod before yet more late-game units for the Empire, who has probably one of the greatest selection of units and conversions from the table-top game. The only one of those units I'd like to see is the Helblaster, considering that neither of the other two units are even "proper" units any more, and the War Altar is a one-off (Still, it'd be nice if it were produced by the Grand Cathedral" wonder rather than a free leader unit). Maybe aaglo will have a go if you ask him really nicely (He's good with artillery)... when he's done everything else that everyone's asked ofhim!

I have asked Aaglo but he hasn't got back to me yet. I know he's got loads on at the mo, if you could see if anyone could make the Hellblaster then just that unit would be a great addition, i know that the altar of sigmar is dodgy to be put as a Empire unit so a wonder unit sounds like a good idea. still i think the Warwagon has to be an addition to because it was in the game for ages and characterises the Empire faction.

Thanks for your support!! :goodjob:

At present, the Empire has decent artillery units, so while a Hellblaster would be nice, it doesn't seem pressing. Likewise, while the war wagon would be nice, with the Imperial Steam Tanks, it seems like the need for such a unit is reduced. (Though I thought I saw a different version of the War Wagon for Kislev in the Warmaster game, that would be nice) And as for the Alter of Sigmar, it just doesn't seem like it would translate well into the game, or at least not as a sort of necessary unit. With the Chaos Dwarves still needing completion, and the Ogre Kingdoms needing to be started, and other armies needing units that are central to their armies (Tomb Kings and the Vampires, for example, lack any decent skeleton soldiers), I wouldn't push for these units too hard. That's just my opinion, though.

Haha, Ogre Kingdoms? Not likely. ED wanted a bette ogre to replace the current primitive version used in the mod, but that never happened, so I can't see a whole civ of ogres ever materialising...

There are a lot of units missing since the mod is quite new, im sure over time many more units will be created. i think the altar of sigmar seems like a step to far but the war wagon and hellblaster are old school warhammer musts for the empire so i'll continue trying to find someone kind enough to make them eventually, considering that there is a lot of necessary work needed on other factions first, they may be on the backburner for a while.

Gomurr the idea of the War Wagon being assimilated into other factions such as Kislev is a cool idea. since the kislev are pretty much empire themselves they should have a version of the unit, if not slightly customised.

Anyway thanks for the views, continued support is most welcome :goodjob:

Potential creators please let me know your views :goodjob:

One person I would recomend tomake the hellblaster is aaglo. Try pming him. He may be too busy as he's working on Chaos Dwarves at the moment, but he has made most of the dwarven units and artillery before. Not to mention the navies.

nevermind...

Well, thanks for crushing my hopes of the Ogre Kingdom army making in to the Warhammer mod, Mr. Do. :p Of course, just because no one was interested in the unit in the past doesn't necessarily mean there is no hope - after all, people seem to choose to make their units based on what catches their interest, and with the new ogres looking like they do, it's feasible that someone might pull them together if they were requested. At any rate, whether they are likely to be made or not has no bearing on their being needed for the game.

Hi,
I've been quite busy for a while now - you know, the christmas and all. About the empire units: The only one I could think about doing of those you suggested, is the hellblaster volley gun. I know how great weapon it is, but I don't see it very necessary to be transformed to civ3-weapon - they already have a cannon, mortar and steam tank (three insane late-age war machines). I just don't see it necessary for them to have more such things :) . And I don't do horses :p

Besides, I think there are more needed units for the mod, like:
- some undead units (archers, knights, screaming skull catapult :mischief: ect.)
- some chaos dwarfs

Thanks Aaglo, its encouraging that the Hellblaster apeals to you - sort of. As for the other units i think only the War Wagon has any possibility of being added to the game if i can find someone to make that eventually.

By the way the Chaos dwarfs are coming on nicely as a faction so I wouldnt give up on an ogre kingdom just yet Gomurr, they have a chance. :)
