New Unit: Doombringer

[Orthanc]

My first Warhammer unit, and I must say it was quite fun. It's the Skaven Doombringer ship, since I don't know too much about it I've left the civilopedia entry blank for it. Its got ginormous cannons and a fun fidget with those massive bells swinging.

Like i said in your creation thread, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! you make me soo happy Orthanc... nothing sus...

EDIT: how about this as a civpedia entry (mind you i made most of it up)

The Doombringer is the largest Skaven naval vessel in their fleet. An odd contraption, it has utilised the paddlewheel to propel it through the waves. Mounted on the bow's deck is a Screaming Bell, and is used in the middle of a battle to inspire awe and devotion in the Skaven troops. Cannons, powered by a unique mixture of blackpowder and warpstone dust, are the main weapon, and, being small conpared to the ships of other navies, the Doombringer can outmanouvere many vessels.

Shogun meets Battle of Trafalgar meets Mark Twain. Outlandish, colourful and a great job!

This is one of the strangest units yet.

I really love how well you animate sails, flags and other deformable surfaces. It seems POVRay has some features that BRYCE lacks.
Very nice and colorful. The thinner flag poles are better.

Thanks again everyone!

@la_dav: Making totally original units for civ4 is still being figured out, so far we're not even sure if putting in new, animated models is possible at all, even if it is (which will be pretty much the deciding factor on whether or not I get the game) I won't be getting it at least until Christmas, and I'll have to get a new modelling program (3D Studio Max most likely) So putting this unit into civ4 is a long way off.

@LizardmenRule!: Thanks very much for requesting it! I had great fun making this thing, and as your civilopedia entry shows it looks like it worked out perfectly that I made the fidget/victory animation have the bells ringing.

 

[LMR]

Thanks. since you enjoyed it so much... may i request the deathburner next?

 

[Orthanc]

Yeah, I can get to that, unfortunately (well, for your request) I'm now involved with the, I think, seven other requests that have been asked of me. But don't worry, I'll put your request on the list. I don't think I've ever been quite this busy here. Eh, it's great fun.

 

[LMR]

Oh well, i'm sure it'll be worth the wait. something to look forward to after three weeks of exams... i think i'm going to cry...

 

[aaglo]

Yeah!

Hell's Bells!

 

[drzoidberg]

Awesome. And considering I love Skaven I'm also very greatfull. Smashing unit. I like the banners in the back waving. Looks great.

 

[OG_Pieps]

Wow! It was a lot of work, wasn't it? Very detailed and colorful.
Great job!
