Previews: Default, Fidget, Fortify, Attack A, Attack B, Victory, Death, Run

* animation speeds are different in game, but all of them had to be same speed for the preview
** run loops correctly in game but not in preview due to repeat frame

Notes: There are few sights more frightening than Chaos Warriors on the march. Clad in heavy armour, and wielding deadly polearms, the Halberdiers of Chaos can cast fear into the hearts of the stanchest of warriors.

Towering over their enemies, these fierce warriors of the Northlands are afraid of nothing. Even an enemy cavalry charge is unable to faze them, for their wickedly bladed halberds can cut even the mightest foe from his mount. - LizardmanRule!

Credits: Many thanks are due to Kinboat for his paperdoll figure and clothing props, and also to utahjazz7 for the use of some of his props. Thanks also to Cyber Dreyk and Steph for their wonderful programs.

I made the unit for the Warhammer Mod. It is slightly oversized at 160 sized frames (normal is 142). Anyone that wants to resize this unit in order for it to match up with normal civ-scale units has my permission. This is my first unit in over a year, so hopefully I didn't accumulate too much rust. :)

Enjoy, :)
CamJH

Love the unit Camjh, even if it is a fantasy unit and probably not one I'll use. You have improved...that much is certain. If I make a warhammer unit it probably won't be for the fantasy Warhammer...but the other Warhammer

Swoggy? There was something to improve? I don`t think so, all of Cam`s units are perfect, I˙m so happy he is back! :bounce::banana::dance:

Tap tap, is this message board working properly?

Stormrage I said that Camjh had IMPRoved since his last unit, read it again man...:crazyeye:

Stormrage
Jun 18, 2006, 09:17 PM
Yeah, I did. What I`m saying is that he didn`t improve cos there was nothing to improve - his last unit was just as perfect as this one! :woohoo:

CamJH! :thanx::worship:

Chaos! :love:

PS: I can just hear him yell: "mothafugga!" during the victory animation! :lol:

:woohoo: :bounce: CamJH is in the HOUUUUSSSE!!

Welcome back, O friend of all fantasy modders.... I know you'r probably tired of hearing this from be but:

*click!* *crackle* Hey, CamJH, I'll definitely be able to use this unit in my Final Fantasy mod!! END OF RECORDING. *crackle: *Click!*

This will either be a) a UU for the Paramekian Empire from FF II, or b) a flavor unit for it, the Dark Warriors, the Forbidden Land, the Orcs, and possibly some of the other more nefariously evil civs (like Galbadia & the Vector Empire).

Yay! CamJH has made a unit! It looks really good. Very nice model and very well animated.

SoG: There's a Warhammer that isn't fantasy? I'm scared...

LizardmenRule!
Jun 19, 2006, 04:12 AM
Well, its Warhammer 40K. its more sci-fi than fantasy :)

Plotinus
Jun 19, 2006, 04:17 AM
But that is fantasy - "fantasy" doesn't just mean "sort of medieval-type setting kind of like Tolkien ish"...

This unit is one of your better ones I would say (and that's really saying something!). A truly stylish beast, with one mama of a weapon. I'm going to love using this guy. :thanx:

I really like the attack animations. It really looks like the halbard is heavy as he's swinging it around. Great work!

That's one hell of a halberd! Great job, CamJH. :)

Obviously no "rust" has accumulated (vis-à-vis your skills), CamJH! Nice to have you back. Feel free to pop by anytime! ;)

So, will we be seeing more units from you, CamJH? If so, what's next?

Goldflash

MAhaha. Perfect.

CamJH

Thanks everyone! Receiving such a positive response means a great deal.

I haven't decided yet what my next unit will be, but I'll start playing around with some models and see what I can come up with. I'll post a preview when I do. :)

Excellent! The head motions in the fidget and victory look very cool with those horns pointing forward, sort of bull-like.

All I can say is :wow: WOW :wow:
This unit will definately make it into the Dragonia mod!

Scytale

This is the best human unit for Chaos :goodjob: !! Well done CamJH! Will his axe\sword counterpart follow :mischief: ?

Stormrage
Jun 20, 2006, 09:28 AM

CamJH it's good to see you back in the unit-makers forum !!!! :goodjob: And I agree (as always) with Stormrage (and Scytale and Quinzy) this "double-weapon attack" would be great !!

How did I miss this?

Well pretty much everything's been said about this (cause I got here so late), but you definately got my :thumbsup: on this one.

All this talk about Halberd's makes me want to make the airship of the same name... :hmm:

No Rust there at all CamJH...Splended Unit and animated very well. Man, what an Awesome Weapon! :clap: :goodjob:

CamJH...I noticed that the units_32.pcx didn't have the correct palette so I corrected yours and also included another alternative ...if you want them. They are Civ Specific colored.
