Casuir... I started on the Tomb Kings as a test set. They are by far the easiest to rig and spot problems with the process on. I was new to using MS3D to rig, and they seemd like the obvious choice for a start point.

I have also started work on the low-level Chaos units..Marauders and their horsemen. I want to build a core of units for a few of hte factions first, and then expand on that. It's easy to build a few base units and spice them up with attachments, and then work on the more 'special' units. I want to allow the core of the mod to progress as soon as possible, rather than wait for all the models!

I am holding back on Orcs for the time being, to wait and see what happens with the skeleton and animation tools. If there is no progress, I will build them in raw form, and stretch them to fit a human skeleton. I can always revert if need be!

Hope to have some shots of the marauders up soon! The mesh is done, and I just need to finish up the base texture before I convert them to MESH.

He's far from finished texture wise, but all the bits are modelled and in place. There is a horned helm, one without horns, and a bareheaded version. Axe and pick weapons are in the initial build, with a spear and sword version to follow. Shields are in ( half a dozen variations ) and a couple of body options. Haven't painted his trousers yet!!!!!

Looking very promising

After an annoying hold up due to a bit of dodgy vertex assigning ( it gives you an error of the 'unspecified' type.... ) we have some new guys running around in the woods....

MARAUDERS!
