View Full Version : Dwarf Quarreler (Apr 1st, 2006)
aaglo Apr 01, 2006, 05:35 AM Hello!
Here is a dwarf quarreler (=crossbowman). Enjoy :)
Here's some civilopedia info from the games workshop website:
Since the Dwarfs first came to the Worlds Edge Mountains the crossbow has ever been their ranged weapon of choice. It will easily outrange the puny bows of the Goblins and is powerful enough to drop even a Black Orc in his tracks. In more recent times, devotees of the handgun have grown in numbers to the extent that the crossbow is no longer entirely the dominant weapon. The crossbow will never disappear entirely though. The Quarrellers that remain are a stubborn bunch, preferring to trust their own estimates of range and wind than rely on a new-fangled sight. If nothing else, many of them begrudge the cost of powder when a bit of elbow grease will propel a quarrel as far as a bullet.

Kyriakos Apr 01, 2006, 05:50 AM It is nice, although from this preview things look a bit static. If it really had been a static graphic one could say that its not very clear, due to the similar colours used for most of the body.
However im sure that it looks fine in total in the the game :)
Btw: do you plan to be making 1 unit/day for long?...
woodelf Apr 01, 2006, 07:26 AM Super looking unit aaglo. I can't wait to see them in the WH mod!
Hikaro Takayama Apr 01, 2006, 08:42 AM I think I might just use him as the Dwarf Ranger in the FF mod instead of your old ranger unit.....
Stormrage Apr 01, 2006, 08:49 AM Dwarves are cool :) Thanks aaglo!
Snorken Apr 01, 2006, 10:13 AM Nice dwarf, aaglo. :)
Storm Grunt Apr 01, 2006, 10:22 AM love it, good work.
Goldflash Apr 01, 2006, 11:19 AM As far as I can tell, the only non-hero unit in the drwaf catalouge that need to be made is the Grudge Thrower Catapult.
Scytale Apr 01, 2006, 11:55 AM Your dwarves are the best Aaglo! Great unit!! Now if you'd just add a rifle to this fellow and make a new Dwraf rifleman it would be great. I don't have anything against the old unit but your units are much better and have greater detail. Plus, the dwarf collection wold gain a valuable member :) .

Quoted for the sheer truth content of Syctale's post. I aggree with this 100% (especially since a Dwarven Rifleman would be very useful in the industrial or modern eras of the FF mod)
themanuneed Apr 01, 2006, 03:35 PM When the unit is looking to the east or west direction, the cape seems a bit far from his back, you can see the ground through the empty space-that's a detail, the unit is really nice anyway.
Darque Apr 01, 2006, 10:25 PM Very nice. This unit will make a nice addition to the Dragonia mod.
Vuldacon Apr 01, 2006, 11:27 PM Another good dwarf unit aaglo:goodjob: Seems as though you have made just about all of the Units for the WH Mod...A Tremendous amout of work! As fast as you are these days, I find myself wondering what sort of Fantastic unit you would make if you had an entire month to devote to one...
LizardmenRule! Apr 01, 2006, 11:36 PM I'm pretty sure that if he spent an etire month on one unit, he could pull off the Keeper of Secrets, the Greater Daemon of Tzeench ;):D
another great unit, aaglo :thumbsup:
odintheking Apr 02, 2006, 01:11 PM Awesome, aaglo! I've got a crazy idea for the Dwarves in the WH/LotM mods; you could make mounted dwarves on ponies, like in the hobbit. That way the Dwarves would be balanced out with everyone else.
mrtn Apr 02, 2006, 02:52 PM Thanks a bunch!

Second Second Second Second Second!!!!
Also, a mounted Halfing/Gnome/Hobbit. Maybe on a Pony, maybe on a big dog!
themanuneed Apr 05, 2006, 01:52 PM And what about a Skaven warrior riding a giant rat ? Would be great also.
