Request: some models and skins for Boreal Conflict

Hi hi,

I am currently finishing one of my map(ToK: BC) and I would need some skins and models to make it more original and "realistic"(for a fantasy universe...).

It is not your average random map that will fail and get obliterated by dota in the next 2 weeks. It is relatively popular in Azeroth and crushed Tech Wars(which has very similar gameplay... to be honest, it's a good rip-off with better gameplay and balance). So don't think you will be wasting your time if you make a model or two for me.

My requests are nothing super fancy or hard to do(imo), but I lack the skills to make them look good(I can try to, but I would like something that look nice... made by a decent modeler/skinner).

Here's what I would need:

- A Techno-Mage, a 3rd spellcaster upgrade for Clerics:
an edited version of the priest model and skin. Basically, he must have a pistol(or something that looks like a gun) in his right hand and his staff in the other. His attack animation must look good and if possible, use the riflemen attack sound. For his spell animation, you can keep the default one or you can make something special if you want(but nothing that is too flashy, annoying and fancy - notice: his main spell will be something similar to purge).
About his skin: the TFT priest has a black cape while the ROC priest has a white(or something like that) cape. The Techno-Mage should be more gray/black and look a bit more modern(maybe make his armor darker and grayer, but nothing too fancy, remember he's just a normal unit, not a hero or some super important guy).

- A nice TFT siege engine skin similar to the raider skin in BC:
if you saw my Raider skin(RoC BC steam tank), that's what I want for shredders/scout/exterminators(TFT siege engine model). I may make this one myself, but if anyone would like to do it...

- A gray/metal-like skin for RoC and TFT flying machine models.
that would fit well with the other copter models. Remember I don't want anything that looks too different from the rest, I want everything to fit well together. I recommend playing the map a few times to see what most units looks like if you're interested.

- A ww1 or ww2-like light artillery cannon* that fit well with other units.
maybe a modified mortar team? Something that fits well with other warcraft unit, that do not look too realistic or too lame, operated by 2 soldiers(as I said, mortar team). This model would replace the Support Artillery model(currently mortar).
*from google, something like that:

- A good looking artillery TFT siege engine
for Ravagers, which basically are heavy artillery tanks. Replacing the cannon of the TFT steam tank could be enough, as long as it looks good. It would need to use the default skin, unless you want to make one(I would probably use the same one as request #2).

I will give credits for any model or skin you make for the map. I will not be afraid to refuse a bad model or skin, or to directly tell you it sucks. Hordes of pseudo-modelers and amateurs already harassed me via e-mails because they think they can make good models and I don't want to plague my map with such atrocities...(when I NEVER asked them to make me something). Sorry if I offend anyone, but you must admit that most models and skins made by self-proclaimed "1337" modelers and skinners are very lame, tend to have very bad animations and are rarely, if not, used.

or, I would prefer if you could directly come and see me online:
FRENCH_CANADIAN @ Azeroth, don't be afraifd to /w me.

The map "ToK: Boreal Conflict" can be downloaded @ www.epicwar.com for now. I will eventually upload it at several places once I consider it finished. I update the map about 2 to 5 times per week, continually balance and try to add new units and other gameplay elements.

I'm not gonna help you with anything, seeing as I'm not skinner or modeller skilled...

BTW, HI FRENCH_CANADIAN! Your AoS is awesome!

And is is THAT much of a rip-off? Better be VERY enhanced or the mods won,t like that...

Well, tech wars is no longer hosted(BC literally crushed it in a week), kinda like how Dota took control of the AoS genre. It's not really a rip-off, it's made from scratch, but based on the gameplay of tech wars and set in ToK with some pseudo-story(I'll add a campaign mode with multiple maps : the map will be divided in multiple 128x128, it will be similar to the current Tournament mode, which auto-rm). Oh, and btw, the original creator of TW is in the credits.

Nearly all players agreed so far, TW is very bad and basic compared to BC.

And yes, my AoS is serious business(considering the fact that it was made in less than 2 hours + 2 hours of updates).

By the way, can you solve the whole massing thing?

/w me on b.net to talk about this and tell me what you exactly mean by "whole massing thing".

Indeed it is Awsome Hail clan ToK (Proud member!)

I would think it would be eas to just add a gun model to a "unit"? dont u think?

I'd like to have a new skin for Techno-Mages:
Priests use the RoC skin(white-yellow? cape),
Sorcerers use the TFT skin(black cape),
Techno-Mages would have a gray-black cape and different clothes.

Weapon attachments practically always look very crappy. The attack animation will still look very bad. I would like him to have a real pistol and a good attack animation.

I use some attachments in BC(Flamers, Thunder Troopers, Shield Troopers, Fire Teams, Rocket Troopers), I only use attachments if it looks good(like the Rocket Troopers, it looks pretty badass, but "alpha'ing" his gun and attaching a rocket launcher would look very lame). Basically, I don't use attachments for the main weapons of units since I rarely like it, it's just to make them look different or better.

They look fairly good as long as you make it so that there's an attachment at the end of their weapons that makes them look like they're firing if they're not.

Attaching a pistol/small gun will not fix the animation problem(and I still need a decent skin).

I rly need this Techno Mage asap. If anyone is interested, post here. I don't think it should be hard to simply add a gun, an attack animation with the rifleman atk sound, and about his skin, it can just be a simple gray/black recolor(darker/grayer clothes).
