The amount of variations for the raiders is brilliant! Works in-game. Approved!

Pick your favorite Raiders :)

Absolutely beautiful, i could kiss you if i could '>'
Nicely done once again, Mr. johnwar.
Nice work!!

It is good to see several types of raiders!
Well, the one thing Reforged had legitimately done right is having creators like johnwar to bless us with these models for true Warcraft 3. Nice work :)
Thanks:smile:
Will you make some grunts?
Not yet.:smile:

These variations are nice, but really simple, you could try to change the orcs head, or at least his helmet, the sword and the wolf's head to match the reforged reference, because right now it's basically the vanilla rider with extra stuff glued onto

Great variations, and high quality wc3 style to boot! Have you thought about a dedicated nazgrel model? (translating his reforged appearance into clasic)

Thanks, but I am satisfied with how the sword and the wolf's head look and I think that the previous update made the raider look different from the other variations:smile:

Thanks, and yes I will soon make it.:smile:
The commanders looks great, but to be honest, that armor should be teamcolour
Thanks, but I've seen other armors that don't have team color Thrall for example and I think it will not look like a commander if the armor is team colored because of the texture.:smile:
Nazgrel with hero glow should definitely be a thing. Bdw you are doing a great job!
Thanks, but you can just attach this Hero Glow on the model:thumbs_up:

oh, thanks... how change it?
Here is a tutorial made by Ujimasa Hojo :smile:
hm, I seen that. But only thing, what I could download and run is that editor by Magos. All others could not be run.
Since I have the time now here is the Direwolf version.:smile:Also find/check other tutorials how to change skins so that you can do it yourself next time:smile:

The Warsong Raider Commander will be the one who will have the black wolf. :smile:
oh, ok. But still I think it would look better. Anyway, no matter what you will do, do it and keep going. Your models are masterpiece worth of the master, and even now I dare say that you maybe better then many good-ones like Tauer, Frank, and others.
by the way, will you make shaman and warlock raiders?(not as far seer or elder warlock like Ujimasas or his mounted Guldan, but something between raider and shaman and rider and warlock)

Thanks, but I'm not better than them their works are far more better than mine and took a lot of time and effort to make :smile::grin:
Maybe, I'm not sure at the moment if I will make it.:smile:

A lot of minor issues have been spotted on the unit models by Sanity Check. Can you fix them? :)
I can only fix the extents of the models
and I thought this track issues can be ignored or am I wrong? :smile:
Track 2 at frame 85899 has exactly the same value as tracks 1 and 3
Track 3 at frame 85965 has exactly the same value as tracks 2 and 4
Track 8 at frame 86432 has exactly the same value as tracks 7 and 9
Track 9 at frame 86499 has exactly the same value as tracks 8 and 10

Beautiful!! It's a large collection of raiders. Congratulations!
It would be nice if we could create a system for creating a unit in a random way for the birth of different models (.mdx), but still being the same unit, alternating only the .mdx paths for each birth. This would make Wc3 even more realistic.

An awesome amount of Raider versions!
A lot of customization for lore especific and generic units, with different helmets and even shielded and banner options.

By using the in-game texture, it is easy to change their skin tone to turn them into Mag'har orcs from Draenor, for example.

The spear throwers and the shielded spear holding units are a spectacular option, suited for more complex units to be used in-game.
The models work nicely in-game!
