im making a custom campaingn its about the high elves :sorc: and a blood mage named Sylvos wind runner he goes to save his sister sylvanas and the n they retake the rune stone Caer Darrow. What character model would make a good high elven druid hero and high elven druids i was thinking that i could use the spell breakers as the high elven druids, and for the hero i could use medivh\the prophet could u guys tell me if this sounds like a good campaign idea and any improvments. If anyone wants to help with the campaign just ask because i really need some help with the triggers and custom abilities.

well im using the blood mage for my actual blood mage in the game(sylvos), who meets a high elven druid in the forest(sylvos gets lost). So thats wat i need the elven driud for if i could change the blood mage shin to something else then mabey or i could change arthas' model or even fruion(without stag) that would be good.

Well, ah... I hate to state the obvious, but... how about one of the druids? Druid of the Claw, Druid of the Talon, or everyone's favorite druid, the ever-name-changing Mr. Stormrage? Obviously not used exactly as they appear already, but with a little work and some simple skin-color alteration I could seriously see a Druid of the Claw doubling as Sylvanas' elder brother.

...but none of them really look that much like a "Blood Mage"... Of course, as InsaneBeetle said, we DO already have a rage-consumed High-Elven mage hero wearing clothing remarkably like Sylvanas' in shape, but I'm guessing you don't want to do that else you wouldn't be asking. We need something with an anguished yet elven male shape... maybe a Priest unit enlarged and dolled up in red and black?

EDIT: Ah, my misunderstanding, I thought we were talking about Sylvanas' brother. Forgive my confusion. Well in that case, I REALLY recommend, as you have already thought, one of the existing druids (though the Druid of the Claw is too fat to be High Elven) or a scaled-up Priest. Obviously any of these would need re-skinning, and to answer your question, you can most certainly change the skin on any of these. Re-skinning has come a long way from the old days, and now it is quite easy IMHO.

Hope that helps. Sorry for the mix-up. :////

No i mean.... well heres wat happens Sylvos the bloodmage gets seperated from his group and gets lost in the woods he finds an ancient temple and meets the druid at thr end and become friends and together they go to save sylvanas' soul. so i was thinking a change of skin color on furion stormrage and boom we have all the heros in the campaign.

Yeah, that works. :gsmile: Sorry for the massive confusion, I was just slow on the uptake. ://// But I think that's a fine idea, provided you don't think Malfurion's, ah, girth will make him an unsuitable high elf. I wouldn't know, my copy of WC isn't with me right now, so he may be fine, I just remember night elf men being a tad bigger than their high elf counterparts.

You could contribute to my campaign. It is VERY similar, only much more advanced.
