Heck, we could use a propper Reikland Halberdier too, not the Swiss Mercenary dude :)

Also, Arabia and Ind could use some units :)

Maybe I had plans to, can`t remember, but Ares` terrain is going to be in all the mods I will make one day :)

Where is mrtn dammit. He`s probably hugging the bottle again..
 
The halebardier looks just right to me. He's got the german aspect right. Instead we could use a priest of Sigmar. What do you think? I just saw one in the Mark of chaos trailer and he was preaty strong.
 
Personally, I'm not sure the mod needs a new Vampire Lord so much as a recolored one...

I love the Sylanians. They and the Chaos Dawrfs are my favorite civ to play. No offense to whoever made the vampire lords--I love the detail and animation--but man oh man, that color scheme.

Everytime I see it I'm reminded of one of those grade-B, Roger Cormanesque vampire movies of the 70's. The one's where Dracula was actually a swingin' Cat and Ladies Man.

I'm not artistically inclined, or I'd give it a crack myself, but has anyone given a thought to adding more black and gray to the clothing, making it more "Goth" and dark looking?

If I were to suggest one neat-o unit that should be made, my vote would certainly be: The Black Coach.
 
The Swiss Mercenary is not the first unit to be replaced. I don't see a reason to add a unit to Reikland unless it has the Landsknecht look. That means swordsman or spearman, but I wouldn't die if we don't get any.

I don't see a big need for a priest of sigmar.

@kai: No one takes it personal, I hope. Sometimes your suggestion gets taken, sometimes not. If I suggest that Tilea should get dragons in the first era, that doesn't make me suck, it's just that my suggestion sucks. :)
 
I wouldn't rush to replace any Empire troops- when their new models get released in a year's time or so, I'm thinking they're going to look a lot more like the Swiss Mercenary than they look like the old spearmen, which is a change for the better.

I'd always like better vampires; thankfully GW seem to finally be moving away from the Hammer Horror, "I vont to suck yoor blahd!" old-guy-in-cape stylings. But I'm not too bothered, it's the difference between a unit that gets a 7/10 and one that would get a 10/10 if aaglo were to make it.
 
Yo, anyowne else wants a Chaos "halberdier" or is it just the 3 of us?

These guys would be fun to have:

Those swordsmen and pikeman of the empire would be fairly easy to put together thanks to Kinboat's Landsknecht model. I spent about half my day yesterday reinstalling Poser (along with all the other programs needed) plus redownloading models like crazy. I actually stumbled across some things that would work for the chaos halberdier. The trick will be to see if I could use them along with KB's oversized trolloc bodies (I'm guessing from the concept art that these are somewhat larger than the average man). It'll take quite a bit of work to resize everything just right, but it could be fun.
 
I could certianly use this "Chaos Halbredier" for my mod, as well.

Keep Talking! Just about anything you need or could use, I could use as well.

There are all sorts of things that, while I don't think they are true WH models, would probably fit in your mod and mine as well. An Amazon Catapult, Trebuchet, and cannon would be nice. So would Orc and Goblin muskets.

"Hello!

My name is Goldflash, and I'm also a greedy little bastard!:blush: :mischief: (:bounce:)"
 
Elven Cannons... Skaven non gunpowder or whatever artillery... Dwarf cavalry... gnome just about everything...
 
They aren`t, but we need a 2nd defense unit because of the AI :) And cos they are cool! :D The unit will have a higher attack than most other 2nd defenders, I suppose, like the current beastman unit.

We already have a chaos warrior (offensive counterpart :)) unit, but it looks redicolously puny, and will look even sillier compared to your unit (should you make one), so it would be perfect if you could make 2 versions :bounce:

GOLD: dude, this is for WH units.

My thoughts exactly! He's a puny Sauron :lol:. Did you see those chaos warriors from the Mark of Chaos trailer? They were twice the size of a man.

Cam, we don't need a pikeman, we already have the Swiss Mercenary. :) We could use swordsman, spearman and/or a halberdier (this one the least), but don't feel that you have to do them all, unless you want to, of course. If you do, I hope that you try to change the model as much as possible from one to the other (change colours and suchlike, possibly helmets and armour too), as the landsknechts wore individual clothes, there were no uniforms as such.
That chaos halberdier would be neat. :)
About the trolloc bodies, wouldn't it be easier to just make the resulting units a bit bigger, if you want them that way?:confused:

@Goldflash: If you want dwarf cavalry or elven cannons, request that in another thread. :nono:
 
I demand someone makes enough units for a Fishman civ. That's about as realistic as half the requests in the last page or two of this thread.

I could render the animations at a different size to make the units larger, or I could just enlarge specific body parts of the original pdm and its clothing models (which I haven't ruled out). But the models I came across that could work for the chaos halberdier weren't created with the pdm in mind, so I'd most likely have to do some adjusting even if I created around that figure. Either way, it's gonna take some tweaking. Plus, one of the trolloc bodies is basically a massive pdm (think it's what KB used when he was working on his Conan unit), so I think most of his clothing figures could conform with just a little work. Will have to wait and see. Still downloading service packs for Poser to make it work better and searching out models and such that I had prior to my crash that I used quite frequently (should've backed up :( ). Most likely won't get to start messing with it til tomorrow.

And... I'll pass on the Fishman civ. :)
 
At Storm: Yeah., I know. But you could probably use them...
