[kairob]

Bretts should get any mercs IMHO thats all, halflings ok, halfling mercenaries not to sure about...

[Lord Cooper]

you guys have anything new instore for us WH fans?

love the mod, great work all

 

[Stormrage]

Coop, the Bastard expansion was how long.. 9-10 mths in the making? They just released it, I hardly think they have new plans just yet.

I have some tweaks I`d like to share, like I did with the color changes (I`m fully used to them now, and I know its kinda pointless when I say it, but they do look rather good ), the first would be the removal of the Arabian Rifleman unit. Easy enough to do it myself, so no pressure on its officialness, but I would like to discuss it with my fellow players:

- not sure why, but I have a feeling its inaccurate (if thats possible in a "paralel world" fantasy setting)
- kudos to Steph for all his conversions, but I`m not so thrilled by its looks
- again, its just a gut feeling, you know, Gunpowder = Dwarves, Empire

- I`d like throw the Cathayan and Nipponese Arquebusiers in the ring to, so its 3 of them, with an old one - the Saurus Musketeer.

 

[Mr. Do]

This is what Araby is:

Beautiful stuff

From the looks of that, gunpowder isn't unknown in Araby- check out the machine-gun armed Camel Rider!

 

[Stormrage]

Its really beautifull.. Do you know where I can see more of those? With more detail?

Also, thats someone`s made up army-list with converted units, or..?

 

[Mr. Do]

I believe they're supposed to be being released in the near future (Maybe February?), with an army list to go with them; just for Warmaster though. You're not likely to see much more detail than that though, the models are tiny!

 

[bigdog5994]

i want to see a new mammoth unit and squiggs since ther is no squiggoth any more

 

[Stormrage]

Mr.Do - yeah, I googled it and found only that picture, to bad there isn`t any concept art or anything..

I`ve also thought about the cathayan and the nipponese.. I may leave them in as well as the arab(since you have prooven the use of gunpowder), but that Saurus just.. itches to be deleted

 

[LMR]

I found pics of an Araby army converted from Empire troops, so they had handgunners and pistoliers. i'll see if i can find it...

EDIT: http://www.dragon-slayers.org.uk/galleries/wfb_pete_scholey_empire_koa_images.shtml#20

here it is

 

[bigdog5994]

so would it be more accurate for the gun unit to be this instead?

[LMR]

That doesnt look very Arabyan to me

i would prefer something like this, but without the backpack and the automatic weapon

it would work for a tallarn warrior in 40K tho

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

I might be able to do something like that.... If my rifle poses work with the PDM.... If not, then I'll swipe the Ael headgear or the Mongol turban-helmet and use Hiro 3 (a Daz figure that uses similar joing params to Aiko) and a few custom props and such.....

But that's after my current semi-secret project (which has been on the back burner for several months) and my next unit and LH projects are done (a custom LH for Ogedai's mod and a giant FF XII airship)....

 

[Stormrage]

What have I done..

Please, no Daz figures.. i hate those.. Unless someone else has a problem with the rifleman gfx (I`m the one who mentioned it), and requests it himself, please don`t bother with it, better make stuff for your mod.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

I said that I'd only use Hiro IF my custom poses didn't work with the PDM.... But I aggree that I should wait until someone actually complains about it. I'd love to play the new expansion, but unfortunately, I just don't have the time right now (too busy playing AoE III Warchiefs .... and working on my current unit project)

 

[mrtn]

I think the Arabyan musketman we have is good.
