to be honest i think a new griffon would be good, this one is nice, but it's wings are too small in proportion to its body.

I got a game named Heroes of Might and Magic 4. It's a turn-based game in a fantasy world close to Warhammer. Ingame combats got very nice figures we could use (a beautyful griffon and greater daemon for example). Is it possible to use units from that game as a starting point for this mod?
What do i have to check to find out if it's possible?

I have that game too, its awsome hey
im not sure if we could use models from HoMM4 though. we would have to ask one of our artists if it is posible, but i doubt it.
We could use the griffon from that as a template to work off, but then again we can just use the WH miniature of the Griffon to do that.

I'm not really an Empire entheusiast, but I don't like the way halflings are used by the Empire.
I feel halflings could be a resource.
They count as a town.
And are required for halfling scouts.
(Maybe food/slaves resource (or goodyhut) for orks, etc. IF resources can be variable for different civs.)
Empire can build both normal and halfling scouts.
Halflings don't have animal defence bonus, but are invisible and have forest defence.
How is that?

I don't want them as ressource but using them as invisibles and have normal scouts and hunter as well could be ok. I don't think a few extra halflings will overpower the empire(and I noticed btw currently the empire isn't doing well in AI games so they could use some more extrastuff).

Hmm.
Okay maybe not a resource as such...but the Moot is a singular/insular occurence in fantasy.
Maybe a bonus that is revealed by a goodyhut?
Halflings are not like goblins everywhere where a mushroom can be found.
Perhaps the Moot could be a wonder, that produces a Moot-Improvement somewhere inside the borders of a civ building the wonder.
(This could be mirrored by Gnomes, Centaurs, Beornite villages and similar minor ally races for some other civs.)
I have always loved the little cozy holes in the ground.
Great warrens for my ratties.

LMAO the moot isnt really part of the empire its a seperate political enitity inside the empire they have a vote on the council of electors they are an allly not a vassal of the empire... as to its importance to the empire... about nil they dont do anything they probably represent a burden on the empire, they need to be defended and they dont pay tax, provide soldiers or do anything else useful.. apart from donating food to the emperor... thats all they do...
a wonder would be the best way to go about it..
(and i am an Empire buff)

because of the new empireness, should we remake some of their modles? (mainly the heroes?) i know that would be a big ask, especiallay at this point.
we might also have to start thinking about the new army list and making the mod work with that...

the army is almost exactly the same... the only new additions are hte Arch Lector of Sigmar (allready in Religion), Helstorm Rocket Battery (Which sucks majorly...), Empire Outriders (which suck...) thats me...
I dont like the Helstorm Rocket.. well because the hellblaster does it better, i dont like Outriders because there to expensive to bother using in anything but the largest game...
Those are the only new models you need for the army they look pretty much the same...
Oh and Empire Heros still suck... they always really have in terms of combat (but then i dont use them for that, there only good at killing normal soldiers... bugger duels) and because of there points cost (they are still very expensive for what is essentially a crappy hero class anyways.. there are heros better than our lords...

Any similarity to an organgun?
nope more similar to the Chaos Dwarf rocket thingy.. just not quite as complex to shoot...
I dont play the Empire for heros.. your silly if you do alot of empire players know our heros are a joke.. but we put up with it..
Who else can get steam cannons, hell blasters, cannons (thats not unique.. but), mortars, pistolers and the good old infantry of the empire...

Also notice how hero's became really powerfull and expensive when they increased the size of models.
I guess it was to disguise the fact there were still relatively few models out and they did not want to lose money.
So they made special characters so uber powerfull, one could barely play without them.
They sell the characters in single blisters, for a (relatively speaking) exorbitant price.

yeah its getting more expensive to buy GM minitures... my army has as a standard a steam tank... it was expensive to buy but it represents a saving if i were to convert it to other infantry.. the same could be said of artillery (mortars, cannons and hellblasters) i can get 3 for the cost of a regimental boxed set.. and they quite often cost a fair few points more..
I play empire on the cheap
Imagine all goblin armies... there great to play (i know) but very very godammed expensive..
(i wont be buyiny a hellstorm rocket battery because its in a box $55 down the drain.. when i can get 2 cannons for $18 each..)

except that the helstorm rocket is in the same box as the helblaster... but you can only make one from all the bits and not the other... so i guess you WOULD buy it, you just wouldnt assemble it
