Skaven development thread

Cool, Hikaro! I think you should just make one jezzail instead of a team, for three reasons. 1) In any mod (including WH), a group of jezzails would look strange compared to all the single units out there in the rest of the game. 2) A team wouldn't look as good as a single jezzail, because the detail wouldn't really be noticed in a group. 3) A team would take AGES to render, :lol:
 
A Jezzail Team is a single jezzail. :p

I said I MIGHT do it.... although since I've now made a HUGE breakthrough (i.e. I've made a shouldered rifle pose in Poser that actually looks halfways decent), the likelihood of making said unit has increased.... although I may end up using Kinboat's Roman Legion shield so that the team looks sorta like the Pavaise crossbowmen did....... Plus I'm going to have to elongate Kinboat's Gnoll musket (I'll just add a cylinder to lengthen the barrel), and get the units set....

the real challenge will be animating two units at once, but since they are mostly separate (except in the fortify and attack animations), it shouldn't be too hard.... I'll just have to pre-place them so that when they fortify, the gun lines up with the shield.

In the meantime, I've got my Ivalician Mediator (a.k.a. a girl with a gun) to do, and If this turns out good, I'll make a female sniper unit using the same animations (Not to bust on kinboat's work, but I don't think that a unit called a "sniper" should be armed with a pistol......)
 
Sorry, but Poser don't do DXF.... I might be able to import it into Open FX, then Export it as 3ds, but I can't guarantee it......
 
I also thought about making the warplock jezzail, but I'll just skip that thought for now, since Hikaro has offered help on the subject. Instead, I'll try to concentrate on other units, them being:
- vermin lord, and possibly
- plague censer bearer (I'm not sure if that's really necessary, but we shall see about that).

Well, IF you do it I MIGHT enjoy that. ;)
If you do a square shield, maybe you can put either a triangular skaven symbol on it, or either an image of the horned rat? I could send you a pic with a lot of skaven banners on, then I suppose you could just colour one of those and add it as a bmp map. If you want that, send me a pm with your email adress.

I've nothing else to report, I've been busy all weekend. :)
 
Actually, most Poser textures are JPG format, so if you could just upload a JPG of the skaven symbol, I coult texmap it onto one of Kinboat's Shields easily enough.
