Fell Beast

[alreadyded]

My first flying animations, made about a year ago, though they are only about half finished. They could have been a lot better, but due to a complete lack of help with my endeavors I didn't have enough time to do everything I wanted to do with the models and animations. Now that I actually have the time I don't care about them anymore.

[Smaug]

If you don't care to develop them, did you post this just to screw us ?

Seriously I think they are a good start and show that flying creatures can be done.

[alreadyded]

No, this is how they will be released. They look and work good (in my opinion), just not as good as they could be. I posted this because peeps kept asking for a video, no other reason. My rant is just an excuse for the mediocre animations.

[Vlax]

Yea, regarding the animations, they could be a bit higher, and then when they attack, they lower down and bite or grab... But everything else seems great! Just one question, how hard is it to kill them with melee units?

[Noobio]

-and do they fly over walls ?

-will they have nazgul riders ?

besides that, they're really nice ...maybe someone else could "improve" em if you don't feel like further working on them

[baz44331]

Epic very cool. cant wait to fight these guys lol

[Araval]

Very nice, but how do you kill them? Only with missles?

[Duke_Dutch]

I think so, they are out of reach of swords and spears. perhaps making there number smaller so that those flying creatures when attacking doin't end up in a cluster of wings

First of all, great job making a flying creature. BUT fell beasts look like a joke imho. Models look nothing like those in the movies and attack animations are... well... they are. No offense alreadyded but I think you should teach some ambitious TATW member how to improve them if you don't want to do it yourself. They are a graet start but not yet ready to be released imho. Don't take this as complaining but as "constructive criticism".

No offense?? you have to be joking.

when you say something like "and attack animations are... well... they are.. and " BUT fell beasts look like a joke imho" No offense"

laughing at some one work is a personnel insult, well i think anyway, and then adding no offense at the end is just condescending. Constructive criticism is not saying to someone there work looks like a joke .. its not like that. your tone is very insulting you mite be haveing a bad day or something but no need for that really.

[Makus]

really cool! I'm sure someone on the dev team will take up an interest in this. My suggestion would be that, since they're impervious to melee...maybe make them highly sensitive to flaming missiles?

[alreadyded]

They are not based off of the movies, they are based off of the book description. If you don't like it, go watch the movie and leave me alone.

They are not impervious to melee, I could make them that way but they would be way too hard to kill. Spears can do some damage, swords less, axes/knives almost none (it is based on the reach of the weapons). Ranged units can take them down fairly easy if you have enough of them and know how to use them.

The Fell Beasts unit numbers are very small, the video is of multiple units and sizes.

The attack animations are not that good because I had to abandon my progress to work on other things, so don't blame me cause it sucks. Keep in mind this is only one of many creature models and animations (with different sizes) I made and I did it ALL by myself with no help in any way. Plus I made an entire mod by myself along the way. So yea... we are lucky to even have these with the very little time I put into it.

Oh, you fanboy you.

Honestly, I think it could be implemented in the game somehow. As a fairly limited creature, not incredibly expensive but still enough to make you think twice. Wouldn't want a stack of those showing up (or playing as an archer based elven army, wouuuld I...?)

Hope this progresses despite the negative attitude some have about it.

[Constantine XII]

Why don't you upload the files of your creation?Many want to continue your work and develop the fell beasts as submod

[Valaraukar]

Like it, it's like giant chickens picking some corn on the floor of the farm...very romantic... but otherwise it's really great made i think, love the way you see them coming with their giant black wings... hope it will be improved a bit and then they will rock!!!
Nice job alreadyded

[jerguc]

realy these are GREAT !!
It would be realy nice to have them on battlefield and fighting them.
They just need to be improved.
If I would know how to improve them I would gladly take this job but I have no idea how to do it

GREAT WORK !!

[Hephaistotal]

You made a great work, showing us it's possible to have flying unit. Rohan armies are so terrified that they felt

[Klierowski]

Can they be killed by normal meele troops ?.
