DarkElves

I made many of the races based around the ones in WBC, and also took some units inspirations (For example, that evil siege thing is the hellbore, there's a snake priestess, poisonous archers, assassins, the blackguard, sorcerer, and the Dark Rider there has bonus damage against heroes. Also, queen spider and minispider).
I really love the way WBC handles all the races, so I took inspiration from it to make the factions. I had plans for making my own campaign with my own factions, and later making normal scenarios with races more faithful to the WBC series.
When I finish uploading the troop images you'll probably see more inspirations from the WBC games.
 
Actually many of WBC races and units were rather lame IMO. But in that bunch you could always find what you wanted. I disliked the fact dark elves had basically no siege. Seems you went Godfall way, giving hellbore to dark elves. Bseides, why not using this for the hellbore instead? Modeling Competition #7

P.S. before you ask me, I am NOT from Argentina
 
Oh, no problem, I don't really care where people I meet on sites are, sometimes when I meet someone from Argentina they begin sending messages in spanish and it gets a little uncomfortable
Yeah, I know, that's why I added the hellbore to the dark elves, every faction will have a siege unit.
If you see my other army pictures (There are currently only four, but there will be nine factions, plus beasts and animals depending on the area, and mercenary trees), the Blues are based on the Empire altough much changed, I wanted to add the mercenary aspect on them by making their units balanced in every front, the Lightblue are based on the Knights, but with added heavy infantry and an upgraded archer, that isn't really a good marksman but is sturdy and fast, and their elite units still being expensive and with a high training time.
The dwarves (That are not really dwarves, and these are not neccesarily elves, on my map) are mixed from both, with golems and the flame cannon for the siege, and slow, strong units.
I will post the "high elves" and the undead next, I still need to complete the wood elves, and I replaced the barbarians with some arab demon worshippers.
That hellbore looks really great, and I love the manticore you uploaded, I'm already using it.
Also planned to use your arrowthrower and your winged hussar.
EDIT: You already added the hellbore to the dark elves in your campaign? Now I feel unoriginal
 
Still no campaign to be seen about dark elves, so you have hands free. So you will redo the races differently than they were in the game?
 
Yeah, I took the game as inspiration for the factions and some base for the units, but other than that, I'm trying not replicating it.
Also, the name of the continent is Etheria for now because I called it Marques before but I don't really like that name anymore, so I'll se how I'll call it in the future
