Bandit Cultists (Cult of the Damned)

This bundle is marked as awaiting update. A staff member has requested changes to it before it can be approved.
Bandit models inspired by @BurnedSmackdown , @InsaneMonster , @Mr Ogre man . Cult of the Damned Bandits Re-Reforged
Also, optimized models of the legendary @Ujimasa Hojo were used as a base. I added undead elements to the armor and gear to convey their imitation of the Scourge. I tried to keep the maximum Blizzlike style of the models.

The models can be useful both as neutral-hostile units on the map, and as a separate faction of the Cult of the Damned. In my opinion, this faction would be something in between the undead and the horde in terms of gameplay, with the horde type of building and defense, the undead style and an emphasis on stealth (ambushes) and necromancy.

I tried to polish and optimize the models using Model checker, but they still have unused frames that I don’t know how to delete yet, because my experience is still not enough.

Please fix issues listed in the sanity tool.
This is a good start, I hope there will be improvements or more details and also the Cultist Assassin face looks funny I think it needs a rewrap
Thanks for the feedback, his face really turned out funny, I'll fix it someday. I made these models last summer, when I had more free time, but now, on the wave of hype, I decided to post them. Unfortunately, I don't have time to redo or correct them yet.
 
An interesting idea :)
But I looked at the version from Reforged, and there the authors just added existing parts from other models.
Perhaps you should come up with a common design for them, connected with a cult and bandits?
I also just added parts of existing models, minor changes :smile:. Unfortunately, there is no time or desire to develop a separate style for an entire faction.
 
Neat! If you're looking for suggestions on how to make them look more unique, I would make their armor black instead of brown, if possible.
For now, the idea was not to give them uniqueness, but on the contrary, to make them as similar as possible to ordinary bandits, but with the style of a cult and the undead. That is, these are the same bandits, but they have gone over to the side of the Cult of the Damned.

But thanks for the advice, maybe someday...
 
Huh!

These guys are fairly straightforward/simple; any one by themselves would probably be a pretty low-effort upload. But created & uploaded together... A solid pack. And yes, I agree the Cult of the Damned could've had more representation (and if it did, it should've been alive!!), so good on ya.

One of the few good things about Reforged's art makeover was introducing actually-unique new models to a wide variety of campaign/creep units, so mimicking that in Our Glorious SD is very cool.
