They are not included in the first planned release. These are:
Tomb Kings, Skaven, Vampire Counts, Empire, Bretonnia, Orcs, Elves, Chaos and Lizardmen

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.

Which Elves are we including; High, Dark, Wood, or all three?

**Bwian** · 05-09-2007, 23:21

Initially, High Elves and Dark Elves. Wood Elves would be a later project.

I Have MTW2 and I like Warhammer (I got a whole space marines and thinking about do orcs & gobbos) and Would like to help this mod... how can I help?

Can you do MTW2 Models in Wings (A free modeling program) and is there anything I can do texturing with?

Whoops wrong thread!

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 ;)

nice screen shots, i really like the the looks of the skelitons in the first pic. About the second pic is it just me or do those sheilds look a little big for skelitons?
