Race for Power

ok, here is a campaign i am starting up, it will have new models, skins, ect, i have a small storyline type of thing, its based around the Fel Orcs, and those of them that want freedom, but wish to belong to the curse, as in have great power, and not be the legions slave..

In the World of Draenor, there is a large group of fel orcs who wish to be free from being the legion's slaves, but wish to have power, they have opened a portal to a world to find freedom from the legion, and that is just what they will find their, however, this angers one of the most powerful demons, for he was going to rally all of the fel orcs to a world, to destroy that world, this demon has great power, and as this was one of the most powerful clans of dreanor, he cannot let this happen, he travels to the world that the orcs went to, to return them to the legion's grasp.

The Cheiftain of this clan's name is Gerundok, and there are only 2 others that can compare to his might - Lerkus Thunderfist, and Almekfer Furystaff, they are loyal to their Cheiftain, and they would never betray him, and on the new world the Orcs have found, they had found another race - that has much greater magc then any other being, and they have never being attacked by the legion, this race was born of the water, they call this world Nelaferia, and themselfs Nelafari, they use weapons the orcs have never seen, and are fish-like, and have 4 large horns on their head, they have learned the ability of creating trees, for unilmited recources in that area, but there is some Nelafari that hate all other, they call themselfs Beserkers.

and here is a model picture of the Beserker, http://server4.uploadit.org/files/04...anBeserker.jpg and http://server4.uploadit.org/files/041203-NelBesTail.jpg this is the body structure of most of them - and those horns will be replaced with another units one, im yet to decide which, and i also havn't decided if the tail should be small or big, small=fast, big=slow, but stomp spell, and that body will also be made skinneir, it is currently the Naga Royal Gaurd model + Tauren Chieftain Model

and here is the Gerundok Model, it needs a skin and anims[but so does the Beserker - thats just the texture for now.] http://server4.uploadit.org/files/281103-Gerundok.jpg

im not editing the Gerundok model anymore though, its how i want it to be, and the fact he uses the felbeast is to show control over the legion, it is also a new custom legion unit, highest class of Felhound, the Pyroragnasaur, was given a different name for its strength, and ability to breath fire.

I got an idea of how the demon is trying to convert the orcs; he gives the chiftain a demonic medallion that is thrusted with demon magicks, when it comes into contact to the skin, the toucher will get a feedback of demon power, but also makes his soul more and more corrupt... what u think?
oh and i got an idea for the clan name, if u havent allready got one: The blood cleaner clan

Hmm... Well, your story really needs some polishing, but the ground it stands on sounds terrific. I don't want to get involved in yet another project right now... But I have to say it does sound like a smash-hit if you finish it and finish it good. Now, this Water-race thingy, make sure you have a lot of water on the world you're on, or that they used a portal to come there, for some reason (A good one would be that their water was beginning to get poisoned... by something that they couldn't stop, be it another race or a plant...).

And remember, don't make them look like Nagas, or at least not too much. I do suggest you use another skin then "green". Rather use gold-red-orange type of color.

The fact that they are magic users would most certainly make them not carry arms at all, or at least be very light armed. They have the magic to support it, whatever it may be. And if they don't have it, they can always "create" a magic for it. Like the tree-thingy spell or art you talked about, sounds lovely. Also, this tree spell would mean there's a lack of wood in the new "world"? Because if so, you should have it so that the orcs stumble upon a world of no wood and offer to trade with the new race they found... (After they had built up somewhere nice with the wood they had with them). Orcs usually, okay, never, trade with other races, so make the reason good.
I think that's all critiques. Good luck, may god be with you...

Edit: For skin color, blue might work very good, now when I'm thinking about it. Combind it with red or orange. Or if you use gold, be sure to use red along with it or it'll look strange.

Regards

if the storyline pheonixiv is doing was finished, it would explain alot more about the new race, and the water race will be golden, and their wont be much water on this planet, because of a betrayer that the storyline will explain, you eventually kill this betrayer, he was like the first beserker..

and frostigt, it is already planned for what happens to the orcs that entered the new world, they dont get cought by the legion, the demon would have tried to have cought them, but early on in his arrival, the chieftain gerundok finds out about them, hits them, and lets just say he does something to piss off the dreadlord[i have a model in the works for him]

and this is a beserker model, not one of the ordinary ones of the race, this dude is a creep, hates everything but itself.

the ordinary ones do use weapons though - and they made sure to enchant them alot, but im yet to decide what model to use for the worker, he will after all, be the first unit you will see of this race..

you can expect a good storyline for the Nelafari in a few days, or maybe longer, it depends how busy pheonixiv is with hunted project.

also, the Nelafari and orcs how shall we say..are old freinds..the storyline for the Nelafari will explain this, so you will have to wait for it

also, i am looking for a terrainer for the campaign, lets just say im not one of the best terrainers, im closer to the worst.. im also in need of a new terrain texture for Nelaferia, so if anyone is good at doing such things, could you please msg me threw aim, Gerundok is my nick there, or msg my threw msn, [email protected]

actually its for a diff reason altogether, i wont reveal too much but i will give you the first paragraph from the storyline i'm writing, as a sort of teaser.

Imagine a system, like any other, with a sun at its centre and plants rotating around it, look at the 4th planet from the sun, this planet is destined to be the battleground for many powerful races, Demons, Orcs, Humans, Undead, Night Elves and many more, but now it is young, barely able to support life of its own, this is the World of Warcraft. Now turn into the void, look further out, past the unstable 5th planet, spewing forth is volcanic missiles into space to the 6th one, this planet is much older, almost ancient, compared to the younger one, it has supported life for some time now, but its harsh cold conditions have left only a few of the strongest species alive. The world has no name, but it will be given one…

i forgot to post the Fel Orc Grunt, lets just say he has been re-made from the FelGuard[Demon to Orc modeling done :)]

it was done quite long ago, any suggestions are welcome, and i already made him quite short, thats as short as he will get without being ugly.[NOTE: he doesn't have a skin because ive already re-mapped him, and i dont wanna go through what i went through doing this model]

http://server4.uploadit.org/files/05...elGaurdPic.jpg

it is uncertain for what weapons he will use, so for now it will be these weapons.

the models used to do this are:

FelGaurd[body]
Thrall[head]
Grom[the hair thingos infront of his head, not sure what they are called]
Tauren Chieftain[Weapons]
Raider[horns]

anyone who wants to re-map him, please post[i dont like his current one - it takes to long to mirror for me, and i dont have a program to mirror things easily]

EDIT:

just completed another model, Dragon Creature as i call it for now, it needs a different name if anyone can think up one, please do so

http://server4.uploadit.org/files/05...onCreature.jpg

EDIT 2: pheonix iv just told me he has created an underwater system level creation thingo, expect pictures tommorow :D

Uhm... You know, combinding two units and... Not making them look different will just **** it all up. I'm refering to the dragon creature now.

Gerundok
its not yet completed, alot mor will be changed, in the final version - you wont even think they were different units, i always try to do things perfectly, and thats not gunna change now :) but is there any ways you could give on changing it? in the most recent version, i have re-mapped everything, so nothing skin-wise please, and the face has been changed alot, but the body and tail and legs havn't changed much, so any feedback is appreciated, and perhaps a new name? :bgrun:

how about: dragon warrior, or the evil name "dragonic head ripper" :gsmile: , does he live in cold/tropic/forest/dessert, just say wereever he lives and hunter after (not original)

Gerundok
well, notice its wings? it can fly, it can breath underwater, where it mainly hangs out is cold places, it is also a unit for the Nelafari, but its kinda like the Royal Gaurd for naga - you cant build more of them on the levels they are planned to be in
