Slasher Demon

The horned slasher demons are the basic heavy soldiers and footmen of the demonic legions. They are equipped with a deadly hellforge-steel scythe to chop and slash through enemies. Their armour might not be the toughest but it is extremely handy and light and permits these demons to run at an astonishing speed and agility.

Mesh made from scratch in Milkshape3D. Animations taken from the satyr model but assigned to the model correctly and added a dissipate animation.
The models was weighted to light for the 'colossus' model contest No.15, so I decided to polish it up and upload it.

Special thanks to HappyTauren whose model of a demon inspired me to try myself doing a Scratch mesh in MS3D the first time.

Seas =)

Again a model make by General Frank [ one of the best modeler I ever saw ] and here comes the:


+ Works ingame [as always]
+ Look great [as always]
+ Weapon matches the model to 100%
+ Awesome skin - awesome model [as always]

* Skin and head color are some different - but you don't really note this ingame.

[ + = good / * = neutral / - = bad ]

Please note: What I say here in the rating, is nothing against you or your work. This my personal opinion about this model!

.... in every single animation.... except for the stand 1 and spell animations, the demon's chest stretches away from his body and flattens, so it looks like he is almost cut in half, or that his stomach has been crushed somehow.... at any rate, its an overall good looking model in general, very useful, but ingame animations always have problems. other than the annoying, paper-crumpling stomach, i would say this is a 4 or 5 out of 5 model.

That is a good point will, magos is buggy and can do some weird ass shit sometimes. But i tested it ingame now, and sadly it still stretches, however given the distance and odd angle of the wc3 camera angle, some animations are less noticeable......
You could fix that though with a few keyframes to recenter it. and then it would be a totally awesome model..... like... jazz hands awesome status

Great model as always. You dont really notice the color difference in-game. I tested it, and his chest stretches a little. You should make a new race and this model should be a footman type unit. The axe ( or is it a scyte? ) looks a little weird. Gz for all of your awesome 99 models :D

So this is Horny's little bro right?
I think he looks "like an harvester" because the scythe doesnt look curved enough, or dark enough... aggressive enough put short.
Other than that, great idea. Any chance you'll make the actual reaper some day?

EDIT: Oh also, after taking a closer look, the spike in the back of the scythe, combined with the small curving make it look like a wc3 worker's gold mining pickaxe ya know. Look for urself, i bet it's much better without that spike.
EDIT: Nvm that, he's from diablo 3, so u're just sticking to the original. For all the good and the bad it involves lol.

I dont agree. The spike make it look demonic XD
 
Thank god somebody made a good version of this, when I started my ver I lost inspiration because it was boring :) However frank, I think it's got a huge potential as a harvester, it'd be awesome if you'd make it more a "basic" unit and turn it into harvester (as a separate version). Oh, and I like the background pic :D HOMM V

Thanks. Well, I was think of doing something like the Imp from MOMM V as a harvester.
