Forest Troll Bear Rider

Wow, this is an old model. Most people probably have it, but because Hawkwing requested that I put it up, and no one can resist him, I am uploading it. Made this, along with a Dire Troll model, origionaly for some one. Can't remember who, but when hawkwing came around I gave him the models. Now this one is up. The troll doesn't ahve the best animations, but it's better than a stiffy.

Give credit if used, and remember, if you don't like the skin you can always make a new one.

I just had a nice idea for the first chapter of my campaign. Very good idea, thanks to that bear. He will be included, along with credits, ofc.

EDIT: Checked anims, the issue about the troll not falling isn't nothing worth to be said. The stand - 2 anim is pretty nice. A not really noticeable thing ingame is that in the death anim, his right arm is turned inside the bear's body, but in the decay the arm goes "straight through his corpse", along with the mace. I didn't noticed it ingame thought.

Great model overall.

Judging by the screenshot, the bear looks absolutely stunning. Good job, will check it later ingame. And I am looking forward for that Dire Troll if you wish to release it.

Awexome, you uploaded it. Now I don't have to worry about spreading it on accident. :p (and yes, the Dire Troll is pretty good also; you should see about uploading that as well.)

So did you make any changes before uploading? And how did you get the rider animated?

Are you kidding? Dwarves ride Rams. That's their racial mount. Unless something very drastic has changed in WoW recently.

Also, it's called the "Amani Warbringer". It's a Forest Troll, riding a big bear. It's in Zul'Aman, IIRC.

Its called Amani Warbear and its just like the one in this model,seriosly its the same exact bear and its for dwarfs only!

Hahaha. Ha, ha.

Please stop.

Amani Empire, the once great forest troll empire.

The "Amani" Warbear is called such precisely because it originates from the "Amani" empire. "Amani" being a term to designate the hugely-powerful Forest Troll empire of antiquity.

--EDIT--

Seriously, if you've got some proof, like an (unPhotoshopped) picture of a dwarf riding a bear in WoW, or perhaps a quote from the official Blizzard website about how Dwarves can suddenly ride another type of unit... Lawl.

I planned to release great model of an unknown author...

Then I saw this.

Is this the Dire Troll you were talki' about? If yes, release it, please.

And by the way, how about realising model for this wonderful bear rider?

Best regards, Genn.

No. That's a WoW export. They aren't aloud on the site. My model can be found here, but not DLed at the moment. Need to update it: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/dire-troll-139419/?prev=status=r2&u=Cavman

Strange thing that I DLed it...:>

OK, this is even better because it's forest dire troll, suits me and my needs more now. But what about icon for the bear rider? It's on the screen, same as with your skaven-like ratrace (Rat Ogre etc.).

Best regards, Genn.
