Don't know what you think of it, but I'll be absent for the next two weeks so I won't know it untill a couple of days

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Not a fan of the horseman's face, I think the Adept is too thin/too young/too effeminate, but the rest are pretty good

 

[thomas.berubeg]

i agree... the horseman is too emperor like...

 

[Toryn]

The units look great! I also agree about the horseman's face (and kinda about the swordsman) but the adept, worker and settlers look fantastic!

The worker could almost second for a mage...looks really cool.

 

[xienwolf]

Well, the good news is that it'll be almost impossible to see the Horseman's face (unless you have amazing graphics and zoom in really far). I actually liked the Adept, but possibly just because it is a variation from the standard, and I anticipate more in the future.

 

[Mailbox]

Those are really cool, I think the adept and the worker are my favorites.

 

[Sureshot]

ya those look great

 

[Gutentag]

I want to say that the Devollio later units(the beserker and phalanx, haven't seen the immortal yet) are damn cool looking with their armor, horns, and nice weapons. Plus it's a great touch with the beserker carrying bodies around. Really good stuff.

 

[Fenboy]

and i will do some more dwarves (engineer, etc.) I think i got a way to make them easily work.

Ooh what've we got left for the dwarves (except for ships & religious units)...
Khazad Units: Dwarven Cannon, Immortal, Phalanx, Ranger
Luchuirp Units: Archmage, Cannon, Catapult, Conjurer, Mage, Paladin, Summoner
Both Civilisations: Adept, Arquebus, Crossbowman, Settler

Hmm...a proper dwarf Settler would be nice, so would an Adept.

Check out their War Elephants, big spiky f***s

Plus, the Berserkers are a nice reference to the Saverous entry in the civilopedia

thanks!
A pity that people dont like playing Doviello, so they never gonna see them

The Immortal will look familiar if you played Age of Ice

 

[Cuteunit]

Doviello have the best looking units actually. Amurites behind them ( I hate that the firebow are bald and tattooed like escapees from a mad max film though)


I have to admit my vision of the sidar is a bit differrent than Roland's... They're immortal and unchanging so I always picture them as having a sort of old world victorian feel, like disheveled noblemen. Sort of like the male Vampire leader. I always imagine ghostly waltzes carried out in perfect step not so much because the dancers still enjoy the dance, but because they remember the steps so well, and these remembrances of humanity are what keep them from being truly monstrous. Seems to fit in my brain better than zombies in black potato sacks who have some fundamental opposition to wearing socks, hehe.

Don't like the adept, its just a desaturated Elven adept, and elven adepts look terrible anyways (skinny teenagers).

The Worker would make a better stand in for the adept.

thanks again I actually created a second firebow, the one showing up in Age of Ice as Longbowman, but that was after i created the bald one, and Kael didnt want to let the old ones go to waste, so he used the Age of Ice Amurites for Tier 4 (the Immortal is the AoI maceman ) and the old ones for tier 3

 

[Cuteunit]

should be minimod to use the other amurite models or something.

 

[Mortenart]

Fantastic Thanks SZ. Well, if skaven can use flamethrowers, I`m sure Dwarven ingenuity can outdo that of a rat!

I actually like the Sidar horseman`s face, looks grim and determined, as it should..

I think that should be the approach with the late-game Sidar units, but these guys are early-game, and still (mostly) human.

And have you ever seen someone wearing socks and sandals together? It's not a good look

 

[TheJopa]

I really like the new sidar units!
