New Unit: Dwarf Cavalry

[LMR]

Hi all,

Goldflash requested a Dwarf Cavalry unit in the WH Discussin Thread, so i decided to have a go. I just hope that he didnt mean a gunpowder unit...

So here it is: a mounted Stuntie

Thanks to aaglo (who made the Longbeard unit) and Kryten (who made the Riderless Horse unit) for the original units

Hope you like it

EDIT: The Death flic was a little off, and it looked weird, so i have fixed that problem and added the new flic as an attachment

EDIT 2: Realised download doesnt include some of the sounds needed, so these are posted as yet another attachment. Sorry for the inconvienience

Here's a preview: Run > Default > Fortifty > Attack > Death



The download

Good job combining them. Looks nice.

Good unit but ahh the dwarf is euther quite tall or it's a very small pony.... don't know how this should work... I allways thougt dwarfs would ride sheeps or something like that....
But as I said nevertheless a good unit...

Noticed that the Death flic jumps a bit, so have fixed it and added the new flic as an attachment in the first post

and its a tallish dwarf on a pony

Yeah, well, Warhammer dwarves ain`t that small, not like the LotR ones, me thinks

They are just, short, 1,50 cm I`d say

Great unit, buddy!

One word:

Uh... that's technically not a word, but hoo kares

 

[Plotinus]

Very nice!

The Sovereign Stone series, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, features nomadic dwarves on ponies - they're modelled on the Mongols, I think. They spend so much time on the ponies that those dwarves unable to ride, because of physical injury, are called the "unhorsed" and considered the lowest of the low...

It's a long time since I read The Hobbit, but don't the dwarves ride their ponies in it?

It does look like he's standing on the poor horse ...

 

[Stormrage]

If they can stand on shields, they can stand on horses!

[Heretic_Cata]

In the Alternative Member's Photos down in OT Kan' Sharuminar posted this pic of TLC.

 

[Stormrage]

Well, OK, but wtf is it!? Its a little dude holding something above his head..?

And its definately not Warhammer.. Dwarves on horses?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

It is somebody that is the the last. So assume it's a conformist.

 

[Stormrage]

The assumption is the mother of all screw-ups...

 

[Quinzy]
