Default Warhammer clone mod

I am currently under way to making a warhammer type mod. I saw someone was working on a warhammer 40K, but I think the fantasy one is better . The coding is the easy part for me and I was wondering if anyone was willing to help me with the pictures. I can not draw worth a damn(even on the computer ). If anyone has any suggestions please tell me, or if anyone wants to see a specific army E-mail me and I will send you what I have on that army at the moment. My plan is to be able to have a true "Fantasy" army complete with ogres, goblins, rat-men, dragons, etc.

Seems the undead army would be the easiest to translate. The way ermor works tactically is very close to the way the undead are in Warhammer. I was always partial to Orks in Warhammer. Squig catapults, snotling pump wagons, night goblin fanatics, wolf riders, squig hoppers, savage orks, black orcs, night goblin shamans popping shrooms(for those of you not familiar with Warhammer, this is not a veiled drug reference but an actual game thing), night goblin doom divers, and the cheese of fielding a 5 man unit of hobgoblins behind a hill making orcs unbreakable because they hate hobgoblins so much they won't break as long as the hobgoblins are on the playing field. I abused that game so much sometimes.

Anghlachel, just one small point that has absolutely nothinh to do with the topic:

Your signature is actually a quote from Machiavelli.

Who is the lion and the fox?

I believe Machiavelli's reference to the "lion" and the "fox" is a direect
reference to the Plutarch's description of the Spartan general Lysander
(445BC- 395BC).

The key passage is found in Dryden's translation of Plutarch's The Lives
of Noble Grecians and Romans (Great Books of the Western World, Volume 13,p.357). There, Plutarch writes: "But to those who loved honest and noble behaviour in their commanders, Lysander...seemed cunning and subtle, managing most things in the war by deceit, extolling what was just when it was profitable, and when it was not, using that which was convenient, instead of that which was good; and not judging truth to be in nature better than falsehood, but setting a value upon both according to interest. He would laugh at those who thought Hercules' posterity ought not to use deceit in war: 'For where the lion's skin will not reach, you must patch it out with the fox's.'" (p.357)

Edit:I got this doing a search on google copying and pasting the quote I have in my signature. Just didn't want you to think I am some kind of smarty pants. I got the quote from a fantasy book by Joel Rosenberg called "The Warrior Lives". It prefaced one of the chapters. So basically thanks for questioning it because it was cool looking up Plutarch and seeing his other quotes.

I'd love to see a Warhammer mod. Skaven in particular. C'tis seems to play alot like them, or at least, I play them that way. But it's just not the same as seeing a Grey Seer riding a Doom Bell behind a horde of slaves. Or those deadly assassins wreaking havoc. Ahh, good times. ^^;

Anglagel:

It appears I was wrong, at least now I can attribute that quote properly myself.
