[Preview] Counterstrike at Quel'Thalas

Here's two shots of a couple of models in alpha stage:

1. picture: Balrog, a mighty undead melee demon. Will have a whip in final form and will burn. A lot.

2. picture: an idea I got at Battle.net forums. A lean, mean, forest troll fightning machine. Think of it as a fast troll strike unit ala Raider or Huntress.

Yay, new pics!

1pic:Looking good :D!

2pic:Why is he riding a duck? :\

Well, you know, I don't think you need a Balrog. I mean, they wouldn't be very different from the doom guards (sometimes called "Balrogs"). If you really want a whip, you can add it to them (they've got two animations that would fit well with a whip: "spell" and "attack slam"). It would save a lot of work.

Actually, that's ment to be ostrich once it's done. I see it still needs a lot of work... ^_^


Actually, I'd need to reanimate the whole thing anyway, because I have to add a couple of very specific animations. Besides, making a single animated unit takes about four hours once it's boned (I figured out a new system wich speeds things up quite a bit). One additional unit is not really that much of a big deal, considering I already made about 40 and still have 20 or so left to do.

They look great :D is the Troll riding a plainstrider? You know those Ostrich things from the Manual of Monsters.

dont they live in the barrens? or...? :\

can't remember

Yeah, sure ^_^

I don't know, I haven't really though of a story about them yet. It was just a picture I liked and went to see how it would work. They sure have potential, though. Imagine the unit running (long neck would sure look funny, swinging up and down during high speed chase) or a stand animation were ostrich simply pushes his head into the ground and the troll stupidly looks around :)

Anyway, here you can see the concept made by Lord_DigiRyan:

A few new shots.

No. 1: Ever wondered what happened to the orcs that occupied Caer Darrow?

No. 2: A waterfall as any other. Water falls here. Go figure.

No. 3: Island of the Stone (Caer Darrow). You can see an elven destroyer leaving bay.

No. 4: Island of the Stone again, but this time you can see the Great Runestone in the morning fog.

NICE! I like the ruined Orc Buildings they look great :D Other stuff looks good too.

yay! love the ruined orc buildings! :D

Hey tufy, wonder if you might be able to use this somewhere:

^_^

Mmmm-hmm! Whatever happened to the site?

Samods server change, last I heard tufy was getting ready to move stuff over.

Yup, it would be very useful. (Hint: Send it to me, send it to me, preeety please!)


Tufy already transfered most of the stuff over, but it doesn't wanna show up on the site. I already E-mailed Wargiant, with no response yet. I guess he's just busy.
