Oathbreaker Pack (LOTR)
Beneath the mountains a people dwelled,
It's not a unit, it's a spell;
The king of Gondor with oath compelled,
It's not a unit, it's a spell;
With fear and wonder were corsairs quelled,
Say it with me - IT'S NOT A UNIT, IT'S A SPELL.
- HerrDave (who isn't turning this SPELL into a unit)
My thanks to Javik for reminding me to upload these and to 1_Freon_1 for contributing his stellar armoured variants!
This model uses all in-game textures.
Keywords: Oathbreakers, Oath, breakers, ghost, wraith, specter, spectre, undead, IT'S, A, SPELL, LOTR, lord, of, the, rings, war, ring
Changes:
- Added 1_Freon_1 as Co-Author
- Added Armoured Variant (Green)
- Added Armoured Variant (Purple)
- Updated pictures

Just wrote in private messages and dear HerrDave posted the models I asked for. Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to the Star Wars models that you will do right after the Lord of the rings models

Lovely unit model, extra clever saving space by combining attack and walk for this unit.

It's a pity there is no version where there are 10 skeletons and all are different

Amazing work!
Can it be possible for it to be team colored? Instead of green or purple and hero glow.

Unfortunately the skeletons themselves can't be Team-coloured due to how additive textures work.
It does have a TC hero glow attached to it though, so if you have a bunch of these on your screen from different players you can still tell which belongs to whom.
In the in-game screenshot the purple one is on the Orange team (Angmar: Grinning Shades) and the green one is on Emerald (Breeland: Oathbreakers)

you could probably approximate that pretty well with this:It's a pity there is no version where there are 10 skeletons and all are different

By the way, why aren't they wearing helmets? They seem to look better with helmets...

I mean these guys are great. Wonderful unit model HerrDave; just wish you had made these guys as a spell/SFX model instead for optimal usage. ; )
Love the combination of "Walk" & "Attack", and I enjoy the simple ghosty ghoulishness of this model.

What spell are these best used for, if I may ask?
I've tried using them with Stampede but they don't do the right animation... Maybe Locust Swarm?

I use Summon Quilbeast as a base and give the Oathbreakers three abilities:
- "Invulnerable"
- "Permanent Immolation" (but it's invisible)
- "Ghost (Visible)"
I also give the Group Separation to give them a floaty magnetic push-away effect if they get clustered together.

Damn that looks good!
Now I want to get you as a co-author and put that variant in here xD
To answer your question: I was in a hurry to finish the spell and didn't get around to refining it

These looks absolutely class, and the Death animation is homage to the movies.
Works in-game. Approved!

This is smart!
Love these boyz, quite atmospheric, the armored variation with coned helmets are also good. Love the 'Walk' sequence and how they switch each other when moving, I bet it looks great in bigger packs of them
