I can see him as a Dwarven beserker in FfH.

No please, that's not a dwarf!


I updated the first post. Includes a version with axe and shield with button and versions without horns now.

@JP Unfortunatly can't do the original bearmanflag for it cause I would need an asymmetric dds file for that but hope that's still ok for you?

If you shrink the scale down he'd look close, maybe.....

Alright, he's not a dwarf....

Very imspressive unit! I ask all modders who have a viking or norse civ to adopt this as their UU!

 

[Duke van Frost]

Hairy and scary

I love it (and all Bloodbowlfans in the empire also, i suppose - because they really know what a norse is capable to do ).

Updated the first post. New model: Huntsmen. It's based on Rabbit White's african spearman but I think you won't recognize that

 

[seZereth]

nice one ploe, your models get high quality!

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Ups, the huntsmen had a wrong speardirection in fortifyanimation. Fixed the download.

Updated second post with Warhammer Norse Huskarls.

Wow Ploep, these new units look awesome! Especially the huntsman, like you said it's really unrecognizable.

You know what would make my day - if Firaxis releases the Scout model without the backpack and the feathers, so that we finally can have an ancient unit that doesn't wear a skirt and not have to give up team color for that.

Those new ones are both really cool.

I really like that shield with the wolf's head on it!

Hm, I don't like the teamcolor anyway, it's to bright normally. Personally I'm quite happy with the scout like you prepared it


@Dual

it was meant to be a Bear but of course you can see it as wolf if you prefer

Updated the second post with Norse Geirrmen.

 

[J_Period]

additions are very nice

Looks really awesome Ploep! I hope whoever's responsible for the Viking civ mod uses at least one of these and personally I'll forgive them for using units with horned helms, history be damned.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Thx guys!

@JP this is the third. Norse have to be in the next release!

@Rabbit
Yes horns might be historically wrong but I like them more with them

A little bit pushy, but that´s the way to go

I'm having trouble installing the huntsmen. What FX.nif do I use? I put in Mali Skirmisher and the unit shows up as Mali Skirmisher...

There's no fx.nif. Just put the nif in the refering line of the xml. It'll work

 

[C.Roland]

Nice job !

@Ploepperpengel,

I have implemented most of these units into the Realism Mod. Unfortunatelly we have a CTD problem wwith the lovely Huntsman.

Everything is alright and we can see and play with him in the Worldplayer. However in real game, if we move him alone with the goto order to somewhere on map, it will crash between 2-4 rounds there after. However if we use him with the keypad, everything is alright. It seems it only happens when you order him to move in ahead several moves (go-to function)

What could be wrong with this unit? Are you able to recompile the nif files? Maybe it helps.

Many Thanks
Houman
