GREAT work!

one thing though, well its more like two things, first off: a while back you posted a screenie of some undead (vampire counts I think) that hade small round shields with a pair of crossed bones as motif on them. well frankly put it feelt like they were modeled from old warhammer models and they are in my oppinion really lame and not as cool as the more recent models. The cascetlid shields you gave the spearmen are far cooler and far nicer, I hope you use them instead.

secondly I dont quite like the looks of the chaos warriors and I hope that you make them look more like the latest GW chaoswarrior models instead of the old ones.

Dont get me wrong I think that most of your work is real topclass especially the khemri undead

I just hope that the rest of the models can be as cool.

keep it up

There will be some basic low-level VC models that will use simple shields. The spearmen are slightly heavier infantry, and are using coffin lids as shields! There will also be some slightly more armoured skeletons with better gear.

The Chaos warriors are going to stay as they are though. There will be veteran versions with slightly more faction specific changes, and Knights and Champions. Each level is progressivlely bigger and badder!

The current models are a bit extreme to map onto a human skeleton, and this waqs an issue. They also seem to have donw wierd things to the necks..which would not gel with the stock animations. We intend to add a whole load of custom anims ... but there are limits. I will need all the anims for Dwarves and Orcs anyway, and the size of hte anim packs grow rapidly and bring an overhead for the system that some peoples computers might not like!

There are always compromises in modding! Same applies to the original game designers too.
