Having finally got a functioning computer for the first time since before Ice was released, I'm going through the new units now. Gotta say I LOVE the new Infernal Assassin, he looks a right little mentalist

[*]Elven windmills could be really tall so they stick up above the forest.

or built into the trees. i like the idea, but it seems like a lot of work.

More kudos to seZereth for the new Infernal assassin model. They look awesome.

I humbly request a new model for the Drown. Way way back they used to be just a retextured Warrior with blue water-logged skin, which actually I preferred. Now they look like some sort of yellow sea monster from X-COM: Terror from the Deep. These are drowned PEOPLE, they should look that way.

Lol... you guys are crazy... that was the laziest one... I just colored my orc berserker black and added chalids flame effect...

there went a lot more work and custom models into the marksman and Phalanx and the crossbowman even has a real texture instead of all black !!!!

 

[Verdian]

Paint it black and light it on fire. Instant awesome Infernal unit.

 

[Love]

The phalanx is awesome

 

[Fafnir13]

Paint it black and light it on fire.

We need to see this aesthetic applied more often.

Any plans for new high priest models? It's annoying not to be able to tell them apart from their predecessors at a glance.

I'm not actually a fan of the paint-it-black-and-light-it-on-fire type of infernal units. IUs tehre any chance we could get proper art for them at some point? Art like the Pit beast summon would be good imo. It would actually give you the feeling of crusading against hordes of demons instead of hordes of errrr..... strange sillouettes...

Nope, that is final art for those units.

 

[Fenboy]

So anyways Sez, with the Svartalfar Longbowman that's the last of the tier 1-3 non-human units. Any hints on what's next? Or are you going to be taking a well-deserved break?

Also Kael, is there any chance of your doing a War Elephant for the Grigori, Dwarves & Orcs like your previous work? (I'm hanging onto my dream of a skeletal elephant for the Infernals )

nope. they are shadow and flame and we have better things to do than reworking those.

well. we have some top secret stuff going on
but right now I dont even have time for that,... so yea. I am taking a break, got a new girl friend and next week we have to do some important presentations at University in front of some people deciding about the next multi million € research projects...

But I am back as soon as possible

i don't mean to sound pushy but... Govanon.

Ok, I feel pushed!
but in a good way
Govannons model is finished, right now I am using him for an experiment in creating my first custom animation!
stay tuned guys!

I think the world would be a better place if we painted more things black then lit them on fire.

 

[Ajidica]

COuld some of the older 'paint it black and light it on fire' unit be redone like the Balor, Hellhound, and others? For the Balor being a tier 4 unit, it doesnt look that great.

 

[Verdian]

Nice! Good luck, looking forward to seeing it. I actually thought you had been doing animations.

so there IS a God, 'cause he just answered my prayers!

edit: btw, the infernal assassin is sweet, but it gets old after the first 6,234,579,867,235,758,942 times you see it. NOTE: that's a bash against the Momus, not the model.

I'm finally going to break down, and post a request here where people skilled in the mystical arts of skinning will read it.... I've made a few attempts at doing it on my own, all ended in abject failure.

I'm attempting to replace the Malakim mounted line with camel riders for my mod, and have managed to get ahold of both a camel resource and a camel rider. However, I only have the one camel rider... need a reskinned version for a camel knight. If anyone is willing to help it would be greatly appreciated.. The original art is by The_Coyote, and it uses the Charlemagne_LightCavalry.
