LMR!, I too think that it would be good to have a "Peasant" equivalent unit for the elves (This would fill the same spot as the Skavenslave.). But we lack gfx for that, or have I missed something?

Well, how about these oldies but goldies by Kindred72? They always looked elvish to me…
And the scout is definitely a 1.1.2!

Generic Scout

Generic Swordsman

Edit: I agree about the Estalians, they often grow really powerful in my random map games.

Yah, that sword dude looks elvish (preshley ), he just needs to be blond

Yep, he's a First Age elf, before the discovery of the secret of hydrogen peroxide

 

[Stormrage]

Mebbe he could be used for the Druchii, they have black hair. I wonder if he could be color-converted to a platinum blonde

 

[LMR]

elvish (preshley )

you sound like Sean Connery!!

The scout has a hood (so you can imagine it to have barbie-like hair ), maybe it can be a HE Shadow Warrior or something, although that would probably be better as an assassin-type unit

The swordsman is fine IMO as a DE Warrior

 

[Stormrage]

Yesh, I know We`ll see what the Tribunal has to say about it

 

[mrtn]

I'm not so fond of those units. I'll think about the dagger babe, but I don't see a reason to add yet another swordsman in the wrong place.
And I don't see the hair colour as a problem, as this would be a start unit, available before the elf civs split up (if you're looking "historically" on it).

BTW, LMR!, your sig is getting too big.

 

[Stormrage]

Isn`t his sig as it was always?

 

[The Last Conformist]

He's removed a couple lines this afternoon.

 

[Stormrage]

Now I remember, it was the violence and gore thingy I liked it

What countries can build the Knightly orders? Estalia, Tilea, Westerland, Empire, Kislev and Bretonnia, right?

 

[Snorken]

@Tradgardssmurfen (I had to copy-paste your name, first three attepmts had type-os ) - Scytale`s latest map is still unbalanced (but he`ll update it when 2.5 comes out ), and I was talking about Estalia being a superpower on random maps

Well, when I wrote the Estalians had been a real pain in the butt in most of my previous games, I meant in random map games.

Actually, it's Trädgårdssmurfen, but you can call me Smurfen or Smurf for short.

 

[Stormrage]

Um, mrtn? I did a little reseach on WH centaurs a while ago, IIRC, they are not beastmen, infact, they hate beastmen...

 

[The Last Conformist]

Beastmen, like many things in the Warhammer World, has undergone certain transformations. Currently, "classical" centaurs have no recognized rôle, but the Beastmen field "Centigors" (beastman torsos on horse-like bodies) and the Chaos Dwarfs field "Bull Centaurs" (dwarf torsos on bovine bodies).

 

[Stormrage]

Yes, I know. So, were the classical centaurs ever the part of the BoC army list?

 

[The Last Conformist]

No. I believe they made their last (latest?) showing in the 4th Ed Chaos list, which combined Mortals, Beasts, and Daemons in one list.

 

[Mr. Do]

BoC didn't have an army list until about 3 years ago, and Centaurs didn't have a model until about 13 years ago! But uhh, Centaurs are Chaotic in Warhammer. I obviously can't comment on your research, and they may in fact hate Beastmen, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't fight in the same bands...

 

[Stormrage]

OK, just wanted to clear that up

Now I`d like to thank my good friend LizardmenRule! for his skaven initiative. If he didn`t started it, while playing civ we could only imagine things like this:

And some pie - the meanest lookin` gobbos out there!

 

[mrtn]

...What countries can build the Knightly orders? Estalia, Tilea, Westerland, Empire, Kislev and Bretonnia, right?

Not Bretonnia.
And yes, the reason that Estalia is sometimes a pain is that they're Agr.
BTW, a good civ to play when you're trying to play a new difficulty level is Kislev, as they're both Agricultural (early growth helps the settler spamming) and Expansionist (no barbs, and maybe a free early settler and techs).

 

[Stormrage]

So its 5 civs, 4 knightly orders.. hmm.. If I could manage to get us the fifth knight, from the order of the Blazing sun, could each civ get its own knightly order?

 

[mrtn]

No, even 4 is maybe too many. Seeing as it's very possible that one civ gets all 4.
