WH Discussion Thread

I'm playing a game as the Chaos ATM, and i had about 15 clanrats station themselves on a mountain right next to my capital city. it was so frustrating, coz i needed to escort all my workers with several spearman

BTW, the civilopedia entry doesn't say Chaos can have spearmen
 
well, the stormvermin warrior would have infantry stats, so 8.5.1 or something like that :sad:

just thought of something. two things actually. if the barbarian skaven can cross mountains and stuff, the civ skaven will be able to as well, if they use the same units.

the other thing is at the moment the Barbarians are called Skaven, but the civ will be called Skaven too, and you can't have two "tribes" called Skaven.

should the barbarians be called Wild Skaven or something?
 
Hmm... darnit.. On the other hand, I think mrtn will go on with his idea anyway :)

I would like to take this opportunity, since this is the WH discussion thread, to ask about that other giant for Albion? Aaglo seemed to like it, but there was no mention of it since :confused:
 
Okay, Here's a quick preview of what I have thus far for the Skave LH... THis is the best I could come up with considering my realatively limited props for such a figure (I tried to get clothes from other figures to fit, but it just wasn't happening).
 
Well, unfortunately that's the only rodenty lookin' dude I got......

I know, I know... He would work fine for Burmecia tho :)

Actually, I have Furette, Furraldo's female counter Part, with a red suit and some armor and a spear that I'm planning to use to make a Burmecian Dragon Knight (Freya) since Dease has dropped out of existance since his last post assuring me that such a unit was being made.....

So I guess I should just scrap the Skaven LH idea, then :(
 
Well, no one else comented so far, so don`t be hasty :) We`ll see tomorrow, when LMR and mrtn and others see it.

I wish I knew how aaglo is making his first LH, its not a conventional method. If it turnes out OK, maybe he could do the Skaven too? Stupid Poser, ain`t got enough models. I mean, evil rat-man! They have a bunch of fantasy stuff, but no evil rat-men!? :mad:

Hmm... Lesse what I've found for fantasy Poser stuff...

Starship Troopers bugs, cat-people, Toon animals, Aliens, Zerg Hydralisk, dragons, demons, Orcs, Dwarves, Trolls, hobbits, and Fairies.... Nope, no evil rat people.
 
It looks good, but like Stormy said, it's not really Skaven looking.

The face is too round and it lacks a certain "evil" quality. If only you could find a hooded cloak, then it'll be better!

Hey do you guys reckon that a "claymation" LH would work? it would be very time consuming and tedious, but i reckon i could do it with the right resources :D

Well, if you have Animation Shop 3 and PsP, I don't see why not... It should be entirely possible to do a C&P LH, but it would be very time consuming to do 121 frames of LH c&p....

And I DO have a source for a hooded cloak, but it costs money :mad:
 
Damn non-free computer stuff! it annoys me!

well, if i get enough plasticine, build myself a great big Skaven head, using real cloth and stuff as clothes, then take 121 photos of it in it's different moods, make them the correct size then paste it all together... shouldn't take more than about six months :lol:
 
Actually, it should THEORETICALLY be possible to do this using GIMP and Civ3FlicEdit.... The reason I say theoretically is because I've never tried doing a LH with those programs, but I do know that Civ3FlicEdit can be used to make LH animations, and it exports/imports them as a BMP or PCX Filmstrip that you can then use another prog to edit with.....
 
AFAIU it is static, he pasted the same pic 121 times.

Hikaro, I have to join the others and say that Bob the Happy Squirrel doesn't really look like a skaven. :sad:

He use povray, as usual, and instead of making a unit, he makes a LH. ;)
I know he's not very ancious to do a skaven LH too, but maybe I can send him poop in the mail until he change his mind...

IF the skaven stay as barbs they'd get different units from the skaven civ, with different stats, and I suspect that could be confusing.

A good thing with the Necrarchs is that they hate the living, so should hate all civs. ;)

Another possible fun barb could be night goblins, but then we don't have any good units...
