Dark Trolls WIP

Some models I'll be uploading in the resource section soon, so far I've finished the Voodoomancer (for lack of a better name :P), and nearly done with the Berserker, just need to add the stick and the skulls on his back (all Dark Trolls will have this), and shin guards, maybe. I'm working on a ranged unit now, but it's getting more and more difficult working with the same skins, they need more and more stuff to cover them up :\

About the models:

Zoom (requires log in)
Voodoomancer was originally desgined for Werewulf's "ForestTrollVoodooman" skin, but I decided to make a version that used no custom textures, and the Dark Troll seemed to fit the profile best. The model itself wasn't too difficult, I just stripped down the Troll model, made a quick weapon from the Magnataur spear and the human torch (had to seperate it into 2 geosets to get the purple vertex colouring on the top), then I glued on the cape and skull sticks and gave him Shaman animations, and finally the particles!

Zoom (requires log in)
Berserker was a toughy in the sense that I spent a few days pondering which animations would suit him best. I finally decided on Ogre, with slight modifications to the head (so it doesn't bounce all over the place), then it was a simple matter of merging and positioning the armour and weapons, and adding a corpse!

Even know the skins arent super awsome, they definatly fit wc3. The models are great and would love to see them in game.

One suggestion, for the berserker; howabout putting a chain across his chest holding the shoulder pads in place. :)

Thanks :)

Falco, that's actualy exactly what I was planning :D I couldn't find a good chain, but I think I have one that I think will look good now. I also forgot to mention that the Berserker uses a small custom skin to make the shoulderpads, thankfully only 10kbs, but other than that, it's all ingame textures.

You really ought to reskin the WOW parts because the detail will just blur ingame.

I've seen the axes before ingame, and they looked fine, but now that I think about it, I was planning on giving him new weapons... :\

Oh, and for anyone who wants to know, the shoulderpads and the axes are from the Orc Campaign and Rexxar Campaign menu models.

EDIT- I found this skin in my TtoR exports folder, props to whoever made it, I'm going to spruce up the Headhunter (Berserker, but that's already taken :P) and use this skin on him.

I'm not really sure, but from I can tell it's cnp from the normal Dark Trol onto the Berserker, I'm kind of at a loss for what to do with the model though...

wrong forum to post in, this should go in the mode gallery.

Also, the first two look like men in troll suits. They lack the distinctive troll hunch.

Hmm, Erwt is right the models are missing that troll-ish hunch

I like the way they are, all trolls don't need to be hunched over like old men. I did actually hunch the berserker a little bit, but any more and the animations won't be able to take it.

I classified this as promotional because I'll be releasing them soon, and I'd like people to see them first.

Oh, and if I gave them all the same animations it wouldn't look great IMO, thats' why I try and add soem variety.
