The lags also look a tad akward, but making the skirts a pixel wider from left should do the trick.

I'd love to see some Orcs. My dwarfs have many grudges to avenge..

Yeah, they could use a little more work. It´s a draft mostly at this point. I´d also like to vary the pose for different units, especially savage orks.

They are bigger and buffer than humans already, I don´t think I want them even wider or more muscular. I´d like a more realistic look than the WH models. Sure the heroes and big ´uns will be a bit bigger, like the WH lore states greenskins are ranked by their size and fighting skills.

I´ll look into your suggestion regarding the legs too.

Why aren't you doing this mod yourself...seriously, those are awesome!! And I love me some orcs.

[Fantomen]

I´m not sure I have the time and devotion to complete a mod.

I thought about it and decided I´ll just make sprites for now. If I end up with a complete set of sprites I might do some code as well.

Anyone who wants to help me writing the mod is welcome to pm me, that would motivate me to complete the sprites. I also read somewhere that there was already a greenskin mod under way, but I can´t seem to find it.

[BandarLover]

There is a Greenskin mod thread out there with a handful of sprites but as far as I know it has been dead for a while now. I'm tempted to take you up on the offer,Fantomen, because I'm expecting to be laid off at work within a month or 2 and if that happens, I suddenly have free time. Sprites have been the most difficult part of modding for me anyways and you do a very good job on them it appears to me.

[Fantomen]

Sounds good. I´ll keep doing some sprites and you just keep me updated whether you´re doing some code or not.
