A new unit picture

How does this look?

much better, but now the arm is too thin. the upper arm (closest to the body) should be thicker. change that, and i will say you are done.

accents?

anyway, yes, that looks much better. what would this be the advancement of, shock trooper?

i see a problem, if this is the advancement of shock trooper- they look nothing alike.

i suggest changing the colors on the new image to mimick those of the shock trooper.

Look at the first page of this thread and you'll see a version with gold accents.

OK, here are three options: Original steel, Shocktrooper Grey, and Shocktrooper Accented.

mm he still look too much like an orc. (same helmet, same boots) try using some parts from the shoocktrooper... to make him more unorcish....

Shocktrooper Accented has my vote. I also agree with fmunoz... it needs to be a lil' more shock trooperish

Unfortunately, I can't steal the boots from the shocktrooper - they simply don't work with this stance. I've modified them a little, though, and stolen the helmet. How does this feel?

i would advise changing the stance of the shield so that it was diagonal, like that of the shock trooper. i just compared the two, and after that, i think this will look like an acceptable upgrade.

one thing- this is using a warhammer. the heavy infantry is using one, but its upgrade, the shock trooper, uses a mace. do we really want it going warhammer->mace->warhammer?
i think you should change the weapon on the advancement to a mace, like the shock trooper.

OK, I've modified the shield. I get what you mean about the warhammer -> Flail -> Warhammer transition, but I'm not so certain it's a problem. A hammer just seems so suitable for this guy.

Post by **turin** » March 31st, 2004, 2:42 am

true. maybe the shock trooper (that name is going to be changed, right?) should also have a warhammer. that would increase consistency, among other things.
