BloodElfWalkyrie

Just considered it would be nice to make another model today. This time an airborne. Haven't made many airbornes, especially not Blood Elves, so i considered giving it a try. The model is inspirated from the Walkyrie unit of the game Armies of Exigo. I just thought it might be usefull to have a Warcraft walkyrie too. :wink:

The unit consists of a Blood Elf Sorceress and an eagle mount. The sorcess attacks both enemy land and air units with her wand from a safe distance. The unit is good for eliminating and silencing ground units like footmen and enemy healers, but not realy suitable for an assault by itself. Its armor is way to weak to use it for attacking enemy bases and larger enemy hordes. It's vulnerable to archers anti-air units as well as huge airbornes like Frost Wyrms and Drakes. Actually it's a slightly stronger counter part to the Undead Vulture Riders. Without proper assistance, this unit is easy prey for enemies like Gargoyles, Rangers and such. Nevertheless, it makes a fine support for aerial assault escorts.

Feel free to use it in any way you want! Have fun with it! :wink:

EDIT 1: fixed the right arm's movement during spell anim (it went into the chest). Also corrected the name. :wink:

EDIT 2: fixed a few minor movement and clipping flaws. Also removed some unnecessary helper objects to cut the filesize a bit down. There isn't anything else left that's noticeable ingames. :wink:

What a nice idea for Blood Elf and Hawk! I think I'm starting to like your model. This model can useful to create a blood elf unit(s).

5/5!

This looks great and is extremely useful fester, you must make more, keep it up!! :thumbs_up:
 
hey Uncle? I went to check this model and there's some weird-tastic stretching and skewing of the mesh at the base of her neck and back area in some of the anims.. could you tweak that up so it doesn't look that distorted? Oo

EDIT: wait.. boob passing through arm in spell anim? xD
this shouldn't be.....i checked it out a few times before uploading it. But now that you say so, i'll take another look at it during the next few days. :vw_unimpressed:

This is a useful Model. But can be improved.

I suggest to change the Eagle with a Horse (but the Eagle idea is not bad) and replace the staff with a javelin. The Valkyries like Reginleif (From AoM) has a shield and a javelin.
 
cool, cool :3 but you're still getting lill distorted arms.. and that one wing keeps going through the hand and wand
also, it would be a good idea if you don't have tail feathers passing through the legs on spell anim
What? :eekani: One of my models is suffering from such a lack? That's criminal! I'll investigate it very soon. :wink:

ty :ogre_hurrhurr: em, as mentioned in the discription, my concept was the Armies of Exigo Walkyrie model, not the AoM version. :wink:

Good, besides the name. Valkyries didn't have horses and could fly by themselves. Valkyries are both the reapers and the judges of the undead in norse mythology. They decide if you died honorably and transports you accordingly.

As for the model itself, although I personally don't see a use for it, it's approvable imo.
I know it's mythologically incorrect, but as said above, the Walkyrie i used as a concept was from Armies of Exigo. :wink:

Looks pretty good, Would be a good upgrade for Humans to use to allow better Sorcerer type units. Good job. 5/5 +Rep

This actually fits in and could be used with a custom Blood Elf race. Nice job!

Going to rate a four out of five because some of the parts are a bit... well chunky to be honest, but it's definitely up to Wc3 standards.
