Hi!

Here's an unit requested by Mr.Do (for the warhammer mod). I think he must be a masochist of somekind ;) :p . Anyway, I think I like this guy... Enjoy :)

Here's some civilopedia info copied from the games workshop website:
During the revelries of the Death Night, the Witch Elves roam the streets of the Dark Elf cities, and all who cross their path are offering to Khaine. Amongst those taken are young babes, who are offered up to the Lord of Murder in the Caldron of Blood. Most perish, but those chosen by Khaine emerge unharmed, and are then initiated in the dark secrets of Khaine. They are raised to be Dark Elf Assassins, the masters of death and the bringers of oblivion.

Nice! I don't want to be hit by that falchion fur sure. ;-)

:goodjob: Looks great, Aaglo. I've been a loung time lurker and a major fan of your units.

Wasn't this just requested yesterday??? Even after all this time, your ability to produce such amazing units so swiftly still astounds me. Great work!

Lovely work as always!!

But... you have produced a dozen units during the last ten days... How do you make it?

Like the Kossar archer, this too can be used in non fantasy mods as well :D

Oooh, I like! Wicked "axe". :)

@Gomurr & Yorgos,
I've been on a 14 day sick leave due the tonsill operation I've had. I'll be back at work starting next monday, so then you'll see me vanish from this forum like a fart in the desert (not really, but compared to my recent activities it'll seem like it ;) :p )

Damn Aaglo, most people want just relax and heal after surgery. You, on the other hand go unit-crazy. And very fine work, too!

And welcome to the tonsil-free club! ;)

What is a tonsil?

Very nice, but ED already made an assasin, what was wrong with that?

Yoda, you have to ask Mr. Do about that (I think he meant that the current assassin is more like a generic assassin, not especially a dark-elf type. And I think that Mr.Do wants to give the old assassin to Araby and Ind).

Very nice, but ED already made an assasin, what was wrong with that?
Is variety ever bad? So long as the 2nd unit is of a good quality, I don't see the harm in re-making old units....

wow. perfect for my personal fantasy mod. great unit as always!

I hate to be the one who whines but it isn't very Dark Elfy. It looks like any random human assasin. He'd look more elfy if he had some golden brokade or more purple. I've always seen Dark Elves as the kind of people who go for purple, black and gold combinations. Is it just me?

Besides this critique it looks great. I love it's smoth transitions and that it moves more naturally than most units out there.

An axe like that is simply sadistic, imagine the damage one swing of that thing could do to someone! :eek: Excellent fluid animations as always, I think I said this months ago but it still holds true, how you manage to make these movements using mathematics etc. is staggering.

:goodjob:

Very nice! :)

Looks great, love the details, like the chip in the blade.

Man, looks like your geting on a role again aaglo. Great job.

Great job this even works as a euro assasin in non fantasy mods thank you very much.

No, it's not just you. Many hobbyists paint the dark elf assassins the way you describe, but it just doesn't make any sense for an assassin to wear very flashy clothes. Them gold&purple brokades aren't actually very stealthy - unless you are trying to be stealthy among other dark elves ;)

Besides, he has some gold (in his weapons) and purple (the civ-colour of dark elves is purple)... so there ;) :p . But I'd say, that this one is a bit more dark-elfier than the assassin previously used in the mod (well, atleast weapon-wise :mischief: ).

What is a tonsil?
what :)

what :)
Tonsils are the things in the back of your throat, which can be removed if they become annoying (cronic infection was my excuse).

like tonsilitis. i had it too. annoying...

I've always assaciated Elves, (of any colour) to be more than anything vain. In my fantasy universe I've created in my brain an elf would rather be remembered for his good taste in his assisination garments than the actual act of killing, (which always is carried out in some unecesarily elegant way). The dwarves do call them "pansies" for a reason.

Man, his dude is just itching to kill some high-elf scum, :evil:. I wish there were more, though.

Great work aaglo, it satisfies me and that's all that matters :D

Hope you stay well, or else this mod will need yet another update soonish!
