Unit Thread v.2

Another note on my idea of Hero Units appear from Champion units. I mean this:

I also thought about setting some generic unit for "Build-Army Unit". Leader, produced in battle, would be upgradeable to Champion. But player can decide to turn it in "Build-Army Unit" with "Build Army" action. "Build-Army Unit" would be upgradable to Hero-type units. I don't know if it works (and how AI shall use it) but I'll test it. I think, some civs should still have auto-produced Champions/Heroes in addition (like Comissars, Psykers, Rogue Psykers etc. could be obtained both ways, but Chaos Lord will appear only in battle).
Click to expand...

I stated earlier that I can get champion units but not hero unit. The matter was that I completely forgot to set cities required for 1 army to 1. I tested this again and everything worked fine. So it is possibe to spawn both Champions and Heroes from battle and let player choose between them. AI is a different matter, of course....
 
So a Leader can be upgraded immediately to a Champion, or turned into an "army" which can then be turned into a Hero? Nice.

If we rework the stats for heroes vs champions it could give some interesting choices for the player: do i take a psyker (not much good in combat but lethal bombardment) or commissar (excels in combat)
 
First thing that comes to mind: Weirdboy - Hero, Nob - Elite infantry for all Ork factions, Scarboy - UU for Goffs (I read that they are almost unique to Goffs). For DE, I think, we can give ability to Haemunculus to enslave Wracks/Grotesques. Something like it for Cryptec too. Etherial could be army-type unit or call airstrikes.
 
I was thinking the same thing but with the big mek instead, since they are more common than weirdboyz. Where would the skarboy go, do you reckon?

We can make the ethereal an army unit, boosting movement or defensive bombard or something, since their tabletop abilities can't really be represented properly in civ.
 
Little by little we thinning the swarm! Nice work :)

I made Despoiler default and death animations. Default with higher fps rate will be Run for now. I'll probably get a better model later anyway. The long c'n'p work is ahead and this is a little demotivating.... I had to stop the work on Idolator due to PC-issues but hope to get back to it the next year.

Skarboy can be an option of slugga or another boy like veteran units of Marines.
 
Here's a little something I've been working on: a Fio'La, or Tau worker and his helpful drone
