Reiksfart's Stinker's Version 1.4 released

Thanks to RedDwarf's generosity here's a video of the new Slayer's in action.



So, I thought I have been using photoshop for quite a long time so decided to give it a go at skinning some new units. Maybe a little bit rough round the edges, but not too bad for a first attempt. I have a number of new units in mind, but unfortunately for now they will only be using existing models. They'll all be units that I know the CoW devs either won't be adding or will be in no rush to add, so this sub-mod might actually get used by some.

Unit One:
Dwarven Dragon Slayers. These homicidal lunatics will be in very limited numbers, in small units and only recruitable once every 20-30 turns at the Slayer Keep. They are rare in lore so will be rare in CoW. They will pack a serious punch, as they should, and given their insanity and ability to survive being troll and giants slayers for so long, will be considerably more survivable than troll slayers. They've been Troll Slayers, Giant Slayers, and by now as Dragon Slayer's are starting to become insane, harming themselves before battle, frothing at the mouth and gibbering madly. However, they have yet to have forgotten their roots, and with the coming threat of Chaos and massive orc Waaagh's!!! they are leaving the swamplands of the Old World to seek their deaths helping in the fight for the homelands.

Unit Two:
Dwarven Daemon Slayers. The pinnacle of the slayers. Tough, frenzied and completely insane. Very rare, small but deadly unit, only buildable at Slayer Keep 3 or 4 times in a campaign.

Unit Three:
Dwarven Troll Slayers. What the 'Dwarf Slayers' unit should be in release version of CoW. Not a huge change to the texture, just lore orange hair, a few extra tattoos and a change of pants. (Dragon Slayers will be getting a makeover too, including the orange hair instead of red). Giant Slayers unit coming when I feel like making it.

Unit Four:
Ogre Bull mercenaries. New texture and name change for standard Ogre unit in CoW. They are now named 'Ogre Bull Mercenaries'. Includes new sprites and unit card.

Unit Five:
Dwarf Giant Slayers New recruitable unit. Difficult to spot the differences between them and troll slayers, but there are plenty. Smaller unit size and less availability than Troll Slayers (since most die before the transition from Troll Slayer.) Need opinions on what to do with Gotrek Slayers. I haven't read the books, but did read somewhere he was a Daemonslayer. So make his unit Daemonslayers? Or Dragonslayers with Daemonslayer officers? Not sure what to do with it, but will need changing in some way to differentiate them from Giant Slayer unit. Make his unit special in some way.

Unit Six:
Gotrek Slayers and Gotrek Himself.

Mounted Marauders of Nurgle have had their javelins removed and changed to light cavalry. They now charge with spear then switch to axe.

Not compatible with any sub mod which changes export_descr_units, export_descr_buildings or Battle_models. You will need to wait for mod authors to implement this and any further units to their mod or change them yourself.
Permission is granted to any sub mod authors to implement any of my units into their mod, no need to ask. Just give credit.

Very cool, although slayers do not wear amour AT ALL, that's why the mail leggins kinda bother me. You could add more jewelery/bracers/more elaborate belts or something. But otherwise, i also had this idea very long time ago, but i can't model so i only took normal Ginat Slayers (with 2 weapons), changed their costs/stats/numbers and name to Deamon Slayers. Btw. you could add more wounds/scars, maybe an eyepatches on some or even missing ears/broken noses/missing limbs probably even and make them DEAMON slayers, cause THESE are the ultimate 'upgrade' of trollslayers and seem to fit more into Storm of Chaos (lots of chaos), while Dragonslayers... during the storm of chaos it's certainly easier to slay deamons than dragons

Although, i like it very much. +rep!



Also, i have idea of new unit using existing model, i also had it long time ago, but as i say, I can't texture/model so i could only think of it : Dwarven Engineers (they exist in lore, as well in the tabletop) -

base model : cannon crew
texture changes : mail instead of leather armour
Weapon : pistol and hand weapon
role : support unit, moderate close combat and distance attack


EDIT : Here is Deamon Slayer description for an unit. I hope it will save you some work :

Not all who hunt dragons find their death. Of those few who survive, most do so simply because dragons are so rare that they despair of ever finding one. These survivors, more convinced than ever that the Ancestors Gods have denied them the release of death, choose to follow in Grimnir’s footsteps. They go far to the north, to the Chaos Wastes, and embark upon the path of the Deamon Slayer. At this point, most Slayers believe that their inability to find honourable death has an entirely deeper meaning : Grimnir himself has found them worthy to help close the Chaos Gate.

Deamon Slayers seem to have an uncanny sense of where Deamons can be found. Enveloped in madness, only a remote corner of Deaon Slayers mind recognizes any kinship, so they feel no need to shun other Dwarfs. Lesser Slayers will sometimes join a Deamon Slayers heading to the Wastes ; and they will certainly find the death they seek.

Tomb king Sub Mod I'm helping with really needs a skinner and we don't mind if you just do some units to pratice and learn. I've been considering learning how to skin but at the moment I don't have the time but maybe we can help each other...

Turambar and death the team leader is very helpfull you can pm him if you are interested and he will help you allot!

LittleDwarf. I was initially going to make Daemon Slayer's using the Slayer King model. Created the unit but it looked silly in game since the Slayer King wears a huge suit of armor. I didn't think the regular slayer model suited a Daemon Slayer. Slayer King head on Slayer body would work, but I can't do that. Still banging my head trying to learn 3ds max and milkshape.

As for the leggings, yes I know they don't wear armor, but as with painting miniatures (something I was bad at 15 years ago when I played tabletop) there's freedom for some originality. Think of it as them having to wear them after their clothing rotted off while in the swamps looking for dragon lairs.

King Cow: T&D already contacted me. Going to think about it, then will let him know.

Great ! i love the ppl who can make new units ... rep !.

Reiksfart do you know how edit uvmaps???
If you have milk you must go to texture cordinator in window options.Cordinate maps to sqare.Then you must download python and GOAT in GOAT you have a tool in which program will do for you uvmaps.

Never tried. At the moment anything model related is over my head.

+Rep for even opening that hairy hole that is skinning

I liked the skin.

Dragon Slayers complete. Download link updated in first post.

+rep for making it open source(After I spread some around first) Will try them out and add to my mod

Will you make this compatible for 1.4.3, so we can just copy it into there?

Yes, I will do. I still don't have the patch yet though. Links are not working for me.

I am currently uploading to filefront. Will post a link in torrents Thread.
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=416825 Link up 1.4.3

First post updated.

Very nice pics!! And so are the units!!

looks good how hard would you say it was to learn how to texture?

If you're semi proficient with photoshop it's not too difficult, but that's if you're just adding to an existing skin like I've done with the slayers. Making a professional quality skin from scratch is going to be another story. It's why I've yet to accept an invite to a couple of bigger mod teams - I need practice with my own stuff first.

I'm also making another unit which isn't a dwarf and it's proving much more difficult to even look ok. Think it's due to the crappy model though.

First post updated. Still waiting for translation so can't release yet.

Great work! Keep up!

P.S. It IS possible to use this units with modified edu, just copy all other files, only not EDU, and then copy the edu entry for new units to exact same place in your, modified, edu. It worked in my case and now i can slaughter my enemies using dragonslayers (once i killed 1000 goblins with them )

BTW. About translation :
