Happy fortnight everyone! :)

Here's a hobgoblin shaman, requested by Drift. And as all shamans do, this one also controls the souls of the deceased :hmm: .

Here are the files:

aalgo... oh Magnicifient one.. any chance you could make an alternate death where his head.. well... Explodes? Would be a PERFECT 'Ead Banga for the 40K mod... I'm.. .not picky...

Very cool attack aaglo. :thumbsup:
I'm curious as to what the significance of the effect is. Is he stealing away the soul of his opponents, or just conjuring something from below... or something else entirely? :)

Description of the attack:
The staff he has, holds the sould of the deceased foes. The shaman can use those souls to attack whomever he chooses.

Description of the victory:
After a victorious battle, the shaman collects the soul of the newly deceased to his staff.

Ohhh.... Damn. I'd just like to point out that its not Gore for Gore's Sake... But that sometimes Ork Psykerz brains 'Overload' in combat, causing the Psyker's brain the explode outwards!

But Alright...

@aaglo- awesome, awesome, awesome! I liek the fact that you made the attack convient to make this unbit a "necromancer"- that is, a unit witht he enslave ability, that can enslave a conqoured unit to be a skeleton warrior (not strong, but then again, it is for free ;))

EDIT-I for one am quite happy that you, and the other unit creators dont do gore.

whats next on your mighty list?

Next on the list is to go to the city of Tampere to meet my girlfriend. :)

Oh, you mean list of units to do? That would be the Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss then (and propably some extremely strange units :lol: )

You've chosen wisely aaglo, Tampere has all the prettiest (and nicest) girls. ;)

I turned this fellow into a real Necromancer. He has a dark robe and grey skin now. I may use some of your late units a bit differently than I originally thought, that means as far as I'm concerned you're off the hook with the hobgobbo axeman and mystery chaos dwarf I requested. (If you ever planned to do them, that is.) :)

I think this is one of the most original units I've seen, and beautifully executed. If only I had a use for fantasy units. Some of these things are works of art, almost too good for a game!

Amazing job, as always, aaglo! You always put together fantastic units, and I can't wait to see this Blunderbuss guy you mentioned.
