Mod: Mod thread- WH hordes of chaos

[Valandil]

Okay, okay. Fine. I'll finish it.

I really was hping you'd all forgotten, since I'm swamped with schoolwork right now, but I've still go the old stuff, and I'm willing to finish the mod. I'll write a Dm, since thats way easier than grpahics.

for graphics you can just put some placeholders for now, if you nedeed help with them i guess someone will be willing to lend a hand, i actually can, but i'm awful lol

I'm reasonably capable of GIMPing, but I have to do everything from scratch (its psychological,) and I'm busy, and there doth be much work forthcoming. I have to finish about nineteen different daemons for summons alone.

Hmmm,

Frankly, if I were to do a WHFB Chaos game, i'd create factions by ethnicity rather than patron Power.

So, instead of the Khornate, Slaaneshi, Nurgling and Tzeenchian nations, i'd choose Norse, Kurgan, Beastman and Hung (I'm sure there are more).

But that idea starts to break down due to the fact that you can't mod your nation's mages to only have Paths and National Spells based off your Pretender

Ah well...

I am just doing a single mod for all the powers/tribes, since there is a hardlimit on active mods AFAIK, and It would be nice to run several warhammer mods together. I have done a .dm, and finished another marauder sprite, but it will take a while yet before, eg, all the daemon summons are done and with graphics. I also need a chaos lord, champion, chosen, another warrior, possibly a chariot, knights, and about seventeen daemons. Gurgle.

Valandil, with the release of Zepath's beautiful Warhammer map there is more call than ever for appropriate Warhammer nations. There is no Warhammer nation I am looking forward to more than that of Chaos. I would dearly love to see what you've got done with the mod to this point.

The graphics, while utterly crucial to a finished mod, are less important to me at this juncture than the mod stats and such itself. Is there any chance you could perhaps send me whatever mod nation *.dm file you might have prepared to this point? I would be most interested in perhaps finding placeholder graphics from the released sprite pack so as to tide things over while proper graphics are being prepared. This would give some of us the opportunity to playtest what might be ready in terms of stats and perhaps help flesh out the details. While I am not quite ready to handle building a full mod nation myself, I've gotten pretty handy at hacking and tweaking other people's mods (for my own SP amusement). I would love to be of some assistance.

I lost a bundle in a computer mishap, but I have a really rudimentary dm and most graphics intact. I suppose I could send the .dm to you; or even finish it myself.
