Also very vague descriptions so if ya want do more research just google name... One could be a leader of each different empire/chaos faction

Yea.. You got high elven leader tyrion.
The "perfect chivalrus knight" Riding around on his big white steed wearing his superuber golden armor, and wielding a magic sword. His atributes are mostly his skill in close combat and all the stuff he is wearing. aperantly he is the heir of the great hero of elvenkind, or somthing so he got a huge ward save too..
Bwian, if you need some info on High elves, send me a PM.

[overkill1991]

Tyrion and Teclis are 2 brothers, they are descendants of Aenarion, the first of the phoenix kings.

Malekith is the son of Aenarion but was ''corrupted'' and therefore was not fit to become a phoenix king.

This resulted in civil war and then the elves split into the dark elves and high elves.

[Lordy]

Tyrion wasnt in the campaign Storm of chaos.

For more detailed information of the characters from the storm of chaos, just check out Wiki its pretty detailed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_of_chaos

or u can check out the official storm of chaos page:

Sorry for hijacking your thread!

Ive read kost of the book. And only teclis were in the storm of chaos. as he is the one of the two wich is fond of humans. However, Teclis is a magic type character, not fit for total war. Tyrion is a Knight/general character, He uses a horse and a sword, no shield and his attributes are mainly leadership and combat powerness. and so is perfect for a total war general.

[Jargon]

You could use Teclis as a skilled diplomat character

Bugman needs to be included. I demand bugman.

He should have his tankard as retinue that gives him atleast +1 hitpoints.(referring to one of his special rules in the army book)

[lanky316]

Since I'm going to assume the mod isn't going to just go and use all the special characters (I assume the likes of Teclis could be difficult following MoC...) GorkaMorka had a list of icons and symbols that form the ork lexicon. I know it's the futuristic version but names don't differ that much do they?

[Bwian]

Naming wise, no...we can't just use all the special characters. We need to be a bit more flexible in terms of how we do that. It will need to be inspired and follow the same sort of syntax as the canon Warhammer stuff, but our own invention. Otherwise, you end up running into so many problems!

[lanky316]

In that case I'll hunt out some of my sources and try and do a linguistical breakdown, not much but if we can get a mix of names sorted out it does increase the number of names... 490 Azhags running around will be a pain in the backside ;)

[Decker]

How about the names of the mods and some of the "regular" posters in this forum put in too? I think that would be cool imo. Imagine watching your Tomb Kings army getting crushed by none-other than yourself! How crazy fun would that be:yes:

that would be awsome but i dont think some of the names fit :clown:

[Gnashfang]

Gnashfang Deathmasher for an Orc warlord would! Not that you'd have to or anything... Of that sort... At all... But! It's a pretty cool name, eh? Ehhh? :2thumbsup:

[Thalion]

I don't know if it might help ... but I have an old book for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game lying around somewhere which contained several charts that could be used to randomly generate typical Empire, Elven, Dwarven and Halfling male and female names (surnames and lastnames).

Such names might be useful for certain characters ingame ...?

If there is any interest I'd either could create a couple of names with these chars or PM one of the makers of this mod here.

(Btw ... this being my first post: When I saw the first screenshot I was speechless and had to pick up my jaw from the floor ...)

I already did this, perhaps not totally complete (all the factions I mean) in the Warhammer Campaign Thread
