Gratuitous Eye Candy Thread

[Ciaran]

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

Hooray for Orcs
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.

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

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!

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 , your killing me over here

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

You DARED to take holiday? SHould be ashamed to be honest.

Can't wait to see these new models... i'm awaiting screenies like a crack-ho her next fix yo.

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.

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 !
