Scarlet Crusaders (Pack)

"As the siege towers of Stormwind rolled by towards the Capital, blinking eyes peered out of the ruins of the long besieged Scarlet Monestary."

"One by one, the scarlet clad survivors left the ruins and marched in a weary rank alongside King Anduin's men. Red and Blue banners whipped in the wind as the the tides of humanity approached the wicked home of the Banshee Queen."

-Scarlet Storyteller

Credit to 67chrome for inspiring this pack

Review: Why couldn't you possibly have created this back in 2011? Jokes aside: Neat bundle, perfect low and high tier units for a scarlet crusade type of map. There are things that need to be fixed: - The Soldier, Recruit, Huntsman, Beastmaster and...

That will be very useful to a lot of people dude. But they doesnt feel as polished as your models normally go. Still I havent found any actual bugs on them, so they arent bad. You and your ability to do stuff fast while I stare at my growing pile of unfinished models (I say that while I imagine you also have the big pile of unfinished stuff)

@infrenus These models are a little rougher because they're quite literally-- older o-o
These were made around June, 2018

@SonsOfSami The packs were merged, but I discarded the lordaeron skin because it was-- just bad.

The skin's name "Scarlet Warrior" was named so because that was the original name of the Scarlet Soldier model
This was in reference to how Warriors can mimic the appearance quite easily in WoW

I did miss uploading one of the portraits, though. I was trying to update the pack before anyone downloaded it and only got a single model, my bad.


This is unrelated, I just wanted to show off my Hunter's transmog.

I myself think they dont look rough, they perfectly fit in in warcraft, but maybe the chest of the huntsman could be improved a bit?

For the warrior, i meant isn't it just a renamed soldier portrait?

Nice idea, there were few (or none) scarlet models in the Hive. Some comments:
- I miss the scarlet recruit with an axe, it is in the preview but not in the pics.
- Could you create an archer model?
- The SC is an order of knights, paladins and warriors. Its weird to see that huntsman there, so savage, but may work. The Axethrower on the contrary looks really too savage/bandit to me, maybe swap the head to something more... Knigtish?
- The Scarlet Soldier looks really accurate to me. Could you create a spearman version of it?
- I may miss a mounted version of Scarlet Soldier or Scarlet Champion.

Really good job, as always.

Holy shit! I think these are the models from that Scarlet Crusade campaign! Glad I'm not the only one obsessed with these guys. It's really cool to have a low-tier version now. Between these and all the Scarlet Crusade skins you can extract into their own models, the SC is a well-fortified army with tons of recruits!

I imported it on my map and just noticed u have no team colour on it. Is not so needed due to "unique faction" unit, but could be good.

I noticed something.
The name for the skin/texture for most of the units are all named 'ScarletWarrior.blp' which makes it impossible for all units to appear.

Review: Why couldn't you possibly have created this back in 2011? Jokes aside: Neat bundle, perfect low and high tier units for a scarlet crusade type of map. There are things that need to be fixed:

- The Soldier, Recruit, Huntsman, Beastmaster and Axethrower all have mirrored bones which have not been renamed, including the REF-points, which will result in attachments getting attached to the wrong side of the model. Fix this please.

- I'd really really like to see TC on these models. It's such a shame that only the cloaked champion has one (and it does not fit there very well TBH). I'd like to talk to you in person about this, because I think these models would benefit very very much from this.

Other than that, they are a great addition to the database: Awaiting Update.

I don't know what you mean by mirrored bones - I just opened some of the models and they've got different names, L (for left) R (for right) that sort of thing. It might be just me being dumb, but I genuinely have no idea what isn't working o.o

Righty-o', here's my discord thingy-whatsit
I agree it's a little odd to have WC3 units w/o TC, but my logic at the time was "What other colour would the Scarlet Crusaders be?"

But if u give TC to them they could be used for other purposes. The villagers are cool and can be used as lumberjacks or villagers in many maps. Also, even using them as SC is nice to have TC on them, it makes them more natural.

Fun models and I personally believe the Huntsman can be an easy stand in for a Roman Velite in maps.
