Cute little greenskin... actually, it is so small that you can hardly see him in game :D

If you think it's useless, you are right ;)

Poser model by John Malis.

UPDATE 1.1
I did most of the greenskin units fast so I didn't do too much detail... snotling really needed some fixes so here they are: greener skin, bigger and lower (no neck) head and new victory animation.

hmm, I don't like munits but this might be actually a neat idea since he's so small.. maybe "snotling swarm" or something :)

in Warhammer, snotlings come as bases of 9 - so yes, a muni would be good

snotlings are the smallest goblinoids in warhammer. small, stupid and annoying.

This could be used as a Evil Scout.

a bigger head would make him more snotlingish. :D

OK, so this may be Snotling 1.1. Bigger head and greener... (I guess I'll start posting previews before release of units)

really nice. Now I wish I were still working on that Warhammer mod that got started a while back.

you can wait for mine ;)
it's pretty detailed, tech tree made from scratch etc. and I make units especially for this matter, 9 for orcs&goblins so far, will be more like wood elves, beastmen soon. I don't know if I saw a thread about your mod? Saw one wh thread a while back but there were only ideas, factions etc.

we had a separate forum for it, but I don't have the link to it or remember the URL anymore.

A warhammer mod could be really fun, I've never played it myself (don't got the money), but some of my friends seems o´pseessed whit it and it appears fun, so if someone can catch the atmosphere of warhammer i'd love to try it out

I've played Mage Knight before (like warhammer) and that was pretty cool. My favorite was the vampire cowboy guy if anyone knows what I'm talking about (probably not). Anyways, good work as usual.

Bigger Ears for the Snots!

Nder, at this size, even really big ears are visible only at one (N) direction... so no.

I made a MUnit of this Unit. I didnt name it Snotling Swarm or anything because I didnt check this thread until after I posted it.

They'd make neat little dinosaur food if you used them as scouts with the dino mod-pack.

I'd make their stats 1-0-1 with all terrain as roads and add them as an alternate barbarian set when using raging barbs (to get a larger quantity). If you want to build them, I'd expect a cost of 4 or 6 per unit to be about right. Making them upgradable to a warrior is probably a good idea.
