Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
I agree with zoid on the kick ass part, but i think the should just be a brighter shade of purple. I don't want to critisize too much but i think the chain-mail arms look a little unrealistic on some of them, and their faces too normal looking. I also think the nurgle armour should have stains of some kind on them or kind of mutilated.
The positives BY FAR outweigh the minor things, keep up the amazing work

Woahhhhhh sorry guys i just read page 3 and thought it was the last one. I feel so shitty.:oops:
Anyway no complaints WHATSOEVER about the bone giants, i think the best looking so far.

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Woah...a lot has happened since page 3!!!!
The Warriors are a bit bigger and meaner looking since then...plus Casuir is working on some veteran warriors which are intended to be more 'extreme' in terms of their faction alignment. The basic warriors are the toughest marauders given better gear. Still very human...and not 'gifted' by chaos. The verterans will be. The knights will be even more so! The warriors are quite normal by design...but things do get more extreme!
This weekend, I hope to have the first Orcs in game, along with some Dwarf warriors. I am finishing off the orc mesh and will make up the skeleton and animations for it next. Keep an eye out for the first screenies :laugh4:

Hooray for Orcs :2thumbsup:
I´m really looking forward to them.
Not that I´m an Orc player - fact of the matter is I´m no Warhammer tabletop player at all, and if I were, I´d probably be an Empire player, with their late medieval/rennaisance style army - but they make great enemies.

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Well... i've spent some serious time reading this forum before doing a "proper" post and I have to say that I am absolutely and utterly flabberghasted by the sheer amount of solid work that has been out into this mod in such a short time. It is absolutely mind-blowing. A Warhammer mod has been my dream since I first saw work on the original Warhammer mod, but without any disrespect to the other team this is looking by far the most accomplished, and I don't mean because of the graphical advantags of the TW2 engine. The fact that you plan to include almost all of the races, and that it seems to be flowing so smoothly makes me optimistic that we'll see this in 2008. Bwian, top man.
The skellies look fantastic, as do the skeletal horses. However I don't think that the vampires should be riding on skeleton steeds, I think they would be better suited by a great black steed with red eyes... sort of the archetypal vampiric counts mighty steed.
The chaos warriors benefitted hugely from the scaling you did... they really looked too weedy before you beefed them up a bit. Now they look far more fluffy.
The Zombies also look good, but as has been said the colour seems tad drab for them. I know that rotting flesh isn't exactly going to be "bright and cheery" but they seem to just meld with the background terrain too much. A lightening of the skin along with liberal doses of purple ripped garments would go a long way to making them stand out more in my humble opinion.
Those bone giants... well... the possibilites for the units you could implement using that scale model are pant-wettingly fantastic... ogres, rat ogres, giants.
All in all this is easily my most highly anticipated mod in the world at this moment in time... and considering I play a lot of Warhammer 40k Dark Crusade, a game rife with amazing mods, that really is saying something.
I doff my cap to you Bwian, you're obviously a damn talented individual. I just can't wait to see this finished... in fact if you could be a good sport and eschew your social life completely in favour of working on this mod 24/7, taking Pro-plus instead of sleeping, and eating only via delivery so that you don't ever have to leave the house then I would greatly appreciate it.
Rich. :D

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
So..Richdog...you reckon I should slow down a bit then ;)
The Tomb King's cavalry ( and, I hope, chariots ) will use skeletal mounts. The skeleton units for the Vampire Counts will get skeletal mounts, but only the basic undead. All the higher ranked undead units for the VC's will be on 'Night Mares' which will be your proper red-eyed pumped up demonic steeds.
As you mentioned ...the zombies need a touch of 'contrast' to make them stand out, and that will definitely be done.
I am currently working on some more Chaos units, and will try to finish off the Dwarf lineup soon too. Dared to take a holiday the other week.... but will soon be back up to speed again!

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Bwian what’s going on by this i am talking about the lack of screenshots you have been posting, each weekend i would open this site like a excited kid on Christmas morning to be greeted by some awesome pics of your mod but then it just dried up, I feel like a jilted lover whose calls are not being returned :laugh4: , your killing me over here :wall:

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Combination of a holiday, some real life interference and the Wife's birthday!
Normal service will be resuming shortly. Been working on some new Chaos units and am re-looking at the Orc models

Can't wait to see these new models... i'm awaiting screenies like a crack-ho her next fix yo. :laugh4:
I think once this is fully released and balanced i'll never play regular Medieval again... it'll seem as fun as sniffing grandmas custy niffs in comparison.:embarassed:

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Very sweet Screenies... Great work to your team Bwian !
I have been a fan of Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer Role Playing games since 1986... still playing WRPG !! :D
So this is a very touchy vein you are touching here... keep your hard work !
At your service, Bohemians the Madman

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Truly amazing work going on here. I never played Warhammer but this stuff just looks awesome (I have read some of the fluff and love the epicness). Anyway it's nice to see a mod staying active, strong, and consistently good. I hope you keep it up and look forward to playing this mod:2thumbsup:

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Wow. Simply....wow. No there should be more, but I just can't put it into words. Bwain, the work looks great. I've been a long time Warhammer player and from what I see, it seems like it'll be extremely well suited to us people who have read through the army books.
Amazing. The skeletons are superb and the humans look rockin'. I can't wait to see the Orcs. :yes:

There is more to view in the other 'eye candy' thread.

the link will take you straight in to the Orcs that Alletun is making, but there is much more than that to look at in there!

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Couldn't really remember if work on a skaven model had already begun ... anyways heres my take on a base skaven:

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Nice, that's some fine work. Can't wait to see it textured. Fur can be a bit tricky IMO.

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
That looks amazing. Skaven are now going to be my second race to play! *After Orcs*
-
Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
It's the hands that do it. Too many Skaven models focus on the teeth and make them look like otters. This is smashing. I love the hands. That is rat hands. Just holding them that myself puts me into the rat feelings. You might make them longer and thinner. Since that's how rat hands really look.
Good work. And everything else is also good. You're a genius Alletun in spite of being Norwegian.

Re: Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread
Does rats have hands:sweatdrop:
Anyway.. Amazing.. as to be expected from the awesome norwegians :2thumbsup:
Cant wait to see screenies

I'm a dwarf. We don't DO innuendo.
Seriously, everyone seems to be taking that wrongly...
