Re: Dark Lands Greenskins - Warhammer Nation
 

This was my main reference for the boar boy. I tried various designs with the spear, with and without extra spikes, but couldn't really produce with anything I was happy with - including the one I ended up using. That's how it goes, I guess. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

As for your nick - I guess it is kind of presumptuous to name yourself after a death god. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yep, could get taunted in MP (if I would lose, but I wouldn't, cause I'm so much whatever)(for the moment, I don't play MP, I wait for other players to reach my game insight)(but if I do one day, I expect people will have forgotten these lines).
It seems warhammer corp and I don't have the same point of view on what should be an orc weapon. The only solution left to me is to create my own miniatures.
It is somewhat true that an orc craftman could create strange and original weapons, in an atempt to compensate for is lack of talent, compared to the elves or humans.( as always, if an orc read these lines, I want him to know I'm so sorry)

Right, returning from a long hiatus - we're back! I decided to kick off the reunion tour by redoing the old sprites, which I detemined were a bit too small for orcs relative to the average size of units in the game. I've got the orc and arrer boyz done, and they're looking tougher and nastier than ever before.

I'll do the boar boy and maybe even the goblin tomorrow, once they're out of the way I'll start working on all-new sprites. Get ready, 'cause da boyz are back in town, an' dere lookin' to crack some 'edz!

The new boar boy is done. That is one huge hog, but I guess it's still an acceptable size 3 unit. :P

As always, if you're reading this like what you see (Or, indeed, all the more so if you don't), tell me! All comments, so long as they're helpful, are appreciated.

Re: Dark Lands Greenskins - Warhammer Nation
 

Sprites look very nice.

I'll be stealing them for sure.

Re: Dark Lands Greenskins - Warhammer Nation
 

The Orc riding the boar could perhaps use a bit more contrast between skin/armour. Grey and green of similar brightness/hue don't stand out too well from each other.

Re: Dark Lands Greenskins - Warhammer Nation
 

I'd say a bit darker skin and the armor even more dark.. I like it dark :D

I know I'm getting the habit of using a bit largish sprites myself.. but the size of the orcs.. is that the right height? I'd say orcs need to be about human size and it seems a bit smallish. (I admit the orcs I'm using for dom 3000 are huge and giant like though)

Better? I messed with the colours a little, but tried not to overdo it.

I compared them to a few human sprites and I think they're pretty ok now. They're a little taller and a fair bit bulkier, with slightly different skeletal proportions.

Thanks, but please ask first. :P

Re: Dark Lands Greenskins - Warhammer Nation
 

I'd make it darker :D and the attacksprite spear seems strange on the tip, the other one looks nice, I'd use that head on the attack sprite too.

That was meant as a compliment.
