“Behold Ragnaros - the Firelord! He who was ancient when this world was young! Bow before him, mortals! Bow before your ending!”
The Elemental Lords are the primary leaders of each elemental force and some of the strongest beings in the universe. The four primary Elemental Lords were once created by the Titans to keep the world in a constant cycle of chaos and destruction. For centuries, they waged constant war on each other with boiling seas, turbulent storms and earthquakes over all of Azeroth. As the Old Gods came down from the cosmos and griped down on the planet the waring Elementals joined together and turned on them instead. Despite their best efforts and combined strength they proved no match for the endless swarms of the newcomers. In past years however, with the help of brave adventurers, heroes, events and a new set of conflicts, they have either been released from their control, been banished to their own plane or been summoned to aid Azeroth and it's inhabitants against old and new threats.
"Did somebody say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?"
Beneath each Elemental Lord there are a slough of lesser and major servants bearing the same title but with less power. Two of these are Thunderaan the Windseeker and Sarsarun, Herald of Al'akir, both which can be found in the desolate lands of Silithus where the Qiraji and forces of the Old Gods still lurk. Another is Ahune the Frost lord who was summoned by the Twilight Hammer and their Naga allies in the Coilfang Reservoir in their plans to pit him against Ragnaros to instigate a new war on Azeroth.
"In the beginning"... "So far away"... such phrases cannot begin to describe this elemental's origin. Its existence heralds pure destruction. Worlds shatter and the pieces scatter at its whim. Only the truly mad would think to summon it. Perhaps there is yet time to banish Murmur before it fully enters Outland."
Apart from the primary Elemental Lords on Azeroth there are other immensely powerful beings considered elementals. One such being is Murmur, made out of pure sound from the cosmic beyond. Summoned in the ruins of the city of Auchindoun by mortals believing they could control it. It's mere whisper is equal to that of a crushing hurricane and only strong rituals and bonding magic is holding it back from destroying all of Outland.
All Models contain player coloration and Hero glow.
This pack contains the following Models and Icons:
Al'akir the Windlord
|
Ragnaros the Firelord
|
Therazane the Earthmother

It's hard to imagine that you didn't use a custom skin. The application of skin is worth learning.

Although it's still morning here, this is definitely the biggest surprise I've received today .
The most incredible thing is that they look highly restored in such a way and even used ingame textures .

EXCELLENT models. I don't know what black magic you possess to do this with in-game textures, but every single one of these is fabulous. My ONLY possible feedback would be that Sarsarun is usually depicted with a staff/axe sort of thing, and since you have the iconic weapons for all the other lords, It might be fitting to include a version that also has his weapon (though the one without a weapon works very well as a generic windlord hero)

An impeccable and amazing work, however, it would be spectacular to see animations specific to each one, but in any case, it is a perfect and very well-designed work 10/10

This is pure genius — the mesh, the animations, the variety of models, all using in-game textures. This is definitely ‘Director’s Cut’ worthy.

This pack is mind-blowing, I never hoped to see so much elemental lords and their lieutenants with no custom textures at all!
The only feedback I have is that princess Theradras is missing. But, in any case, it is magnificent work.

Boom~One of my favorite model creators has returned! You're back at last.
What shocked me the most was that I initially thought they were using included textures. The result is 0.

I like how you always create things that don't exist in classic SD style. Old Gods, those Legion units and now Elemental Lords...good job.

Thank you all for the kind feedback! I've had these guys (and girl) in the back of my head for months and finally sat down for 2-3 days to make sure they were released. I really do hope you find good use for them in your projects and maps!
A ton of time and work. Takes hours upon hours to search through the textures for stuff to make use of. Sarsarun actually had his staff first but after 3 different iterations I decided to remove it as the model became a bit too cluttered. I figured a unique visual difference to Al'akir and Thunderaan would work just as well. Also feel that sometimes less is more. I'll think about it though
As Neptulon and Sarsarun don't have any weapons they use the caster attacks the original Firelord have while the other 5 have new melee attacks using their weapons. I tried using several different models/animations from various Warcraft 3 units but made a final decision to make use of the original fire elemental lords animations to give it that Warcraft 3 feel.
I was actually thinking about her, Lokholar and perhaps even adding in an earthern version. As Myzrael is using a Titan model and other earthern lords use either colossals or normal earth elemental models we'll see if I'll make it. Theradras is tempting though, loved Maraudon back in the day
Thank you! I try to make the models fit with the classic Warcraft 3 epic graphics style while adding content that people might have use of in the larger community. As major characters, monsters and important creatures frequently pop up in maps I often feel it's a shame they lack a model.
As the models are based on the classic Fire Lord they're intended to work both as a normal sized Hero, boss in RPG and Risk and for other content. I was considering making them slower as I presume some people will increase their size a bit but as even the larger models such as Archimonde, Infernals and Pit Lords use quite speedy animations I figured I'd keep the normal speed for them to fit in with the rest of the games original models. Was however considering this, thank you for the feedback!

Taking into account that you've done not only 4 Elemental Lords, but additionally lesser-known characters like Sarsarun (who was a special boss for Cataclysm Prepatch event ONLY) and Murmur (who has seemingly become once again actual in the upcoming 11.2 WoW patch)...
Love!
