40 sprites!

Sounds great, Johan. Thank you.
I'm planing to replace the regular Lesser Horror and Horror sprites with new ones. Also, make Doom Horrors available through high level summoning.

Nice looking units! You draw them or these are some units from an existing game?

Good to hear national summons will be fully moddable in the next patch!

New graphics for the current horrors would be awesome in the meantime, Amos!

Some are drawn, while some are heavily modified jpgs.

I would prefer not to release them until I release the full mod. I'm still not sure which sprites will replace which, there are about 9 horror sprites to replace. Plus I'm still making more of them so...

Hehe yeah I think I've seen one or more from these monsters in a game, but I might be wrong. Anyways they are looking very good.

Those 3 were originaly taken from a concept art not an ingame graphics. I have got a pretty big collection of art on my PC so there is plenty to work with.

Beautiful stuff here, the largest one is as good or better than the graphics on a state-of-the-art first person shooter, as far as still imagery goes, atleast in my opinion. Greedily, I hope that you will consider unleashing them upon the public in the form of a download we all can use

A nation built around the various horrors is a really good idea. Are you willing to give more detail as far as theme, basic units and commanders, etc? Even if we don't see your mod in the near-future, I'd still like to know more about it, if only to sate my curiosity.

Before science, before history, there was an age of magic and legend, an age of heroism and of terror. In this mythical time, magic flowed freely. Mages, swordmasters, troubadors, and smiths bent the patterns of life with their mystical powers.
But the dawn of magic also weakened the fabric of the metaplanes. Horrific creatures from the astral plane began to spring forth into the world, ravaging the land,the waters, and mankind. At first the Horrors were few and weak, but over time they grew many, strong, and deadly. They were a pestilent tide, a Scourge that could not be turned back.
The great mages of the Theran Empire understood the futility of fighting this Scourge from beyond, and so they began worshiping the Horrors and even helping them enter this plane of existence.

This is the description from the game (Its taken from an Earthdawn book). The mod will be MA.
