Awesome! Love beastmen! I collected a few back in the day.
I always thought the 'base' beastman was a bit skinnier than that though. Of course the veterans should be bulky, but the normal beastmen (imo) should be a bit more scrawny. Also, aren't they supposed to have completely animal heads? Not this kind of human/beast mix... they're more like... Trollocs.
On that note Alletun, I wish I could have hypnotised/brainwashed you back in WoT days. Alternatively, I wish I was as good with 3DS max as you.
Everything about this Beastmen is great - from texturing to modelling. Can't wait to see the animation for his legs in-game.
Haha, awesome, beats the hell out of my old beastman for the RTW warhammer mod :P Well, not that I'm surprised though... ;)
Great work.
That looks simppky awesome. I can imagine it raging through the enemy formations like a rabid troll!

I like to offer helpful critique on how to make models better, but I'm drawing a blank. It's perfect in its grittiness and sheer animalistic .... pah.. I'm lost for words. If anything perhaps it might be the hair in the middle of the chest looks a bit like just a black spot. But it's pretty minor, and does look a bit like hair.

Q @ all the more knowledgable people, am I imagining this?
You are correct.
There are several types of beastmen:
The Brays
The runts, smallest weakest and have no horns
The Ungors
Bigger than the brays but are weaker, less intelligent and physically smaller than the Gors.
The Gors
Bigger, stronger tougher than the Ungors
The Bestigors
The Elite beastmen type, they are the biggest and strongest, they use the best weapons and armour of all Beastmen.

To answer questions:
From the GW website
http://www.games-workshop.de/warhammer/voelker/bestien/artikel/anfangen/bilder/ungor_gor.gif
(Ungor on the left, Gor on the right)
GORS
The most powerful Beastmen are called Gors. Their appearance varies more greatly than most races but all combine some bestial features with those of a man. The base form of the Beastmen, and that possessed by the vast majority, has come to be that of the head and legs of a goat and the upper body of a man. As creatures of Chaos, however, the Beastmen display almost infinite variations of this guise. Many have the horns or head of cattle rather than goats, while others may possess even stranger mutations.
UNGORS
Ungors are not as strong, tough or intelligent as the Gors. They are physically smaller and their horns are almost always less impressive and numerous. Ungor are extremely cruel and spiteful creatures, taking out their jealously of the Gors on foes in battle, captives, Brays (those Beastmen without any horns) or anything else incapable of putting up much of a fight. In battle the Ungors join the Gors in unruly herds, charging towards the enemy with thoughts only of rending them apart. The Gors always push their way to the front of a fight, and so the Ungors jab between their larger cousins with their crude spears.
Nutella's guy is a Gor - a base beastman shape. I can't wait to see it with some gear and shoddy armor! That guy is amazing, Nutella. Hacking apart Ungor spearmen and unruly Gor warbands with imperial patrols is going to be great.

I'm really pleased (though not surprised) to see such attention given to rebel units, much better than, say, just sticking a bunch of grey-coloured units and calling them "brigands" or something. Looks great too. :2thumbsup:
And of course Alletun, your texturing work is second to none in the modding community. Staggering quality.
Puppyonastik
03-12-2008, 06:33
The beast man looks fantastic!
Question: Have you considered adding them to the Chaos faction? Locking them out as rebels or mercs only is quite unfair IMHO. Since there are a lot of Beast men players and it is a full official WHF faction...
Maybe a mechanic can be made with scripts that would allow a chaos player to choose what version of chaos they want? Example: you start the game the game as chaos, and build one of a choice of buildings that dictates what recruitment etc. options one could have a la Europa Barbarorum's government system? Just an idea. I'm sure someone cleverer than I could figure out a way to make it work.

the head and legs of a goat and the upper body of a man.
Right? I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, just trying to give some feedback beyond my gut instinct to write "WOW"
I like the Beastman, even if he is perhaps a little to butch to me. Seems more like a Minotaur-esque build than a standard Gor, but that is really a minor concern.
Great texture-work and modelling, no doubt about that.
actually the biggest beastmen (not taking into account the minotaur) is the beastmen chieftain:book: or perhaps the shaman:beam:

I do like the look of that Beastman, though there are a few things which do not quite seem right about it.
1) The torso is too broad, a small amount of slimming would fit a Gor.
2) Bring the horns closer to the head, currently, they end up too far away from the head.
3) Elongate the head alittle, to make it appear more animalish.
Other than that, it looks really great. I assume horns will end up being random in looks.

I second that!
It looks like a minotaur to me and knowing it is supposed to be a gor does not change anything about that! ~;)
I think making the whole creature much thinner would look far better! :eyebrows:

You're wasting YOUR time. Tell me ONE mod this size with such a small (but excellent) team like this, that would have been finished now, and I'll send you a cookie by mail. Sure, Bwian isn't that active, but who said he aint gonna return? And even if he'd been active all the time, it's not enought time to release a big mod like this.

This thread should be X rated, becuase that dwarf is pornography.

Hey relax you dont need to be so aggressive, i want this mod just as much as anyone on here, but i am a realist.
For the last 3 months we have had only 1 person doing any work, Alletun, he has designed some amazing units, but design is only a small part to making this mod.
So unless something changes very quicky this mod is going to take around 2/3 years to complete and at that point hopefully the Total War team will have purchased the Warhammer licence from Namco and will be creating an official game which would be awesome.
I wasnt trying to piss anyone off but if you want to believe this mod will ever be completed then great, i dont end of.
And once again amazing designs from Alletun :2thumbsup:
Once again awesome work, i've been following it all!
As more people might be wondering though, what would an army of 200 of those Dwarfs do to your CPU ? I don't want to be a whiner, but i have no idea what difference these kinds of models are to the Vanilla ones, it seems 3000 polies is quite a lot (from what i know of the uber basic stuff).

No problem, I just expressed my views, and well, maybe I do type a bit agressive, but that's not really what I meant :P
But yeah, I do agree that it really IS possible that this mod might die because of inactiveness, but it's just that I too often see people that looses hope for a mod because it wasen't released one month after announcement.
So yeah, sorry for my inability to type and not sounding like I'm in a frenzy :P

Think of EB. One of the best, and one of the longest in development.
Back to topic! I too am wondering how the poly count is comparing to the M2TW models.
@Lordy: Doing art will and can never be a waste of time :)
About the polycount:
The average m2tw unit is 2000-2500 polys
So 3000 polys is not that far out of the polygon-budget
With a good LoD system like m2tw's the impact of those 1000 extra polys will be unnoticeable (unless your computer is really really old).
@Alletun: Excellent news, yeeees indeeeeed :)!

He's a captain, so you'd only have 1
Unless he's also destined to be a units officer, in which case, max 61 (if 3 per unit are used + overall captain)
But that wont happen, as I get the feeling this team wont settle for 2 of the same officer in a unit, so your CPU is safe

Just because Bwain hasn't posted in a week or two doesn't mean he's dead. He already explained he was having chaos at work. He doesn't get paid to make this mod, he gets paid to do his job. Give him some patience, and in the meantime enjoy what Alletun and I decide to show you guys.

Well said, you should be happy somebody like Bwian is making a mod like this for you in the small amount of free time he has left, so stop nagging about Bwian not inactive He has already been gone for a week or so but he returned, so I'm confident that he will return agian, he will not leave without telling us.

But as Revan-Shan said, this team needs more modders. I joined the mod when Krazy asked for modders, but now, I've kinda lost inspiration (not left or anything though!), cause nothing is really happening.

1-99, (1 +99) : 2 = 50 %
Now = 2008, (2008 + 2015) : 2 = 2011.5
So we have 50% finished and we may have it for 2011

btw,,,never say the question ''when will it be realeased?'' it may just be delayed another year and it will probably be realeased wen it's finished
