Eh, I don't want to go overboard with the darkess, black orcs are coming later. As for the spear - I'm afraid I can't just rotate the pixels to form the exact same shape at a different angle, that's the best approximation I could come up with. I'm not 100% happy with it myself, though, so maybe I'll tinker with it some more once I have most of the sprites done.

Heh, I figured as much, I guess I should have used a instead of a :P.

I'm mucking about with the goblin now, but it looks like it's going to end up looking pretty different. We'll see when it's finished.

You could try making a shadow a few pixels wide on the gray hide to the right of the green leg to make the leg stand out more. Just a detail, but a detail I think would look nice. Perhaps the same on the hide beneath the shield and behind the butt of the rider.

I tried doing that, actually, but it ended up just making the area look like a nondescript dark smudge, instead of being recognizable as actual shading. I'll probably get back to it later, see if I can't figure out a way to do it properly.

Goblin spearman done!

I based him partly off Sombre's gnoblar, but there's been a fair bit of tweaking, so you can certainly tell he's a different breed. In all, he's a fair bit bigger than the old one, not to mention much meaner-looking and a lot less cheerful.

Night goblin done!

I'm generally quite happy with him. He's a vicious little bastard, and I'm especially pleased that I managed to fit a decent-looking Bad Moon onto his little shield.

Oh yeah, I can feel the power of the waagh flowing through me, it's so gooood !!!

Orc boy bigun done!

Dressed to impress and ready to lay down the smackdown.

I like the color of the shade much better.. use that as primaty and then make the shade a bit darker. Pretty big that bigun, the mace is... well not sure.. just looks more like cotton candy somehow.. love the axe though.
I'd put some blood on the axe myself..easily done with a paint brush with dark red/brown in GIMP

Slow on the sprite front, but I've updated the first post with a plan for the mod. Please take a look and tell me what you think.

Aezeal - warhammer orcs really aren't all that dark, I'm sorry if it doesn't agree with your tastes. I did mess with the mace a bit, it's slightly less regular now. I'll skip the blood, it makes the units look messy, and not in a good way.

I've gotten to work on the bigun attack sprite, and will probably be knocking a few new ones after that. Here's a little something to prove I haven't just been sitting on my hands, though.
