Mod Warhammer Nation: Lizardmen - v0.75 minor update

Sombre · #1 March 31st, 2008, 06:23 PM

I think the only way I could simulate drain magic is probably with a national mr buffing spell. There isn't much else I could do. I suppose I could give them an anti magical creature spell as well.

Yeah. That's about what I concluded too- dispel is ritual only, etc.

Hmm. That's fine, though. Slaan will probably have plenty of other stuff to do anyways.

Work is veeery slow because I'm so busy right now. So don't hold your breath for this one. I think I may be able to work on it during lunch break at work though, which would give me enough time to do some code and a little graphical stuff each day.

Here's a Saurus preview pic to wet your whistles/pants/lizards.

Not 100% finished but nearly.

I decided to give all obsinite weapons the magic tag and +1 att to make up for the underwhelming saurus attack stat I'm going with. Thus the Obsinite sword is 1 att 0 def len 3 dmg 7. Pretty nice piece of kit. The obsinite spear is len 4 att 1 def 0 dmg 4 and costs less in resources.

Sombre. That is some absolutely epic art.

Amen to that.

I should have a skink graphic done by the end of today. They seem a little bit big at the moment (as does the saurus in fact, for a size 2) but skinks in warhammer do seem to be larger than goblins, smaller than humans. That actually gives me quite a few units:

Saurus Warrior (sword)
Saurus Warrior (shield)
Skink (blowpipe)
Skink Archer (poison arrows)
Skink Skirmisher (jav + shield)
Skink Cohort (shield + spear)

The tricky graphics will be the big dinosaurs and the Slann, but overall Lizardmen have a lot less stuff than, say, skaven. Also many of their units are re-equips or recolours of other ones. Sacred spawnings for instance just get different coloured markings, while temple guard are just Saurus with bone helmets and a little bit more decorative gold and stuff.

Glad you like the Saurus so far.
