    Kislev is definitley a faction I would like to see in game, but there is a limit to teh total number of factions we can do in a single go. We are not going to use all teh 31 available, so there will be scope for add-ons after the initial release. Factions like Kislev will be high priority, because they have some nice units!

    I never did understand why the plan isn't to initially do all the human factions first, (Bretonnia, Empire, Kislev, Tilea, Estalia, Norse and Dolgans). We got the units allready. Free lunch. And then just build on that. The big hurdle is making the fantasy units, right?

    Warhammer is a fantasy mod. What is the point in just having a few re-skinned stock units and calling that a Warhammer mod.

    We will not be using ANY stock units unless they are 100% correct for the mod. It's not going to happen. Not for any reason.

    The whole POINT of a fantasy mod is the fantastic units. If we don't do them, then we may as well quit. If we CAN'T do them, then we may as well not have started.

    BUT... we CAN do them, and we WILL do them. Not sorry little re-paints. but properly designed, correctly skinned units that any fan of the Hobby would be able to recognise as something from this world. Look at the screenshots. We have new units...fantasy units.

    p.s. If you have a question about what units we should be using...start a new thread. This is a screenshot thread for comments on the work done, not a discussion on what units should or could be built.

    New for this weekend ..... some skeleton troops for the Vampire Counts. I have re-done the textures for all the skeletons, and the Tomb Kings ones are similar but a bit lighter to show 'bleaching' form the desert sun.



    Also in are some spearmen with improvised shields...



    and some swordsmen.



    I also made some very basic 'peasant' skeletons with a short sword and no other kit. No pic of them...but they are not that interesting to look at ;)

    I like those skelletons. The coffin-lid shields are a nice touch, perfect for the Vampire Count bonies.

    Nice work. Is each imperial province/city-state going to receive its own units ?

    Don't think there is an easy way to make each city use a different livery for it's troops without filling up the list with a lot of duplicates. The units can swap randomly from the selection on the texture ..but you would have to make each troop type a unique unit for each city to allow it's own livery.

    So you could have City_a_hand_gunners, City_b_hand_gunners and so on. The combat stats would be broadly similar ( or not, if one city is famous for it's swordsmen or hand-gunners or whatever ).

    The tricky bit would be the recruitment. We would have to limit recruitment of certain units to certain cities to maintain the uniformity and sense of it. Otherwise, you could recruit city a units in city b and every other city you capture. Spoils the overall effect to a degree. It's a nice thought ... but I don't know how well it would stand up to the acdtual reality of gameplay.

    We could probably have some elite units recruitable only in certain key cities ... like the old RTW Spartan Hoplites. They could have a different livery from the 'ordinary' version available everywhere in the Empire.

    Yeah, having the same 5 or so Imperial units available in say, five different colors representing 5 cities/province would really suck up unit slots.

    Gameplay wise, I'm fairly sure there's a way to make this possible, it's just that those slots could probably be used for something else.

    WOW! These shots are amazing!

    How did you do the headless zombies? Surely it wasn't the model since they all use the same one right (maybe not...)? Or was it through the textures? Alpha channels? Anyway great work!

    Crian ... no alpha channel tricks were used in the making of the headless zombies. MTW2 allows for different physical meshes in the same model...which it randomly puts together to make unit variations. The stock game uses it to put different helmets ans shields on the soldiers ... the same trick can bu used to put a stump of a neck in place of a head.

    It's one of the things that mae kthis game engine so much nicer to mod with

    these lads are awesome,but try to make the red colour more darker and also if it is possible try to put little feathers into the helmets of the swordmen.now about the helmets and the hut.first in the swordmen,can you put few helmet like those of the swissguard and in the hundgunners make some hut likes those of the tabletop game?last is it possible to create a bigger musket?it would be awesome.i'm not ordering that,i suggest that,it's just my opinion but above all it is great work

    Bigger muskets are possible .... but it is debatable as to whether we should make the muskets bigger. The tabletop figures would always have chunkier muskets purely because of the difficulty of casting the things in white-metal.
