Dwarven Trio

Hey folks!
I recently replayed the legendary Dwarf Campaign a while ago and wanted to make some Dwarven models. Enjoy.

All models are based on the Rifleman model from Ujimasa Hojo, because of the integrated portrait. The mesh, animations and further optimization has been done on top of that.
I used Milkshape3D, Oinkerwikle's tool, notepad++, various RMS builds and War3Model Editor for creation of these models.

Artisan

Worker unit. Inspired from my own model that I made in 2007.
Berserker

282810-b0c16cc9f539c10ceae20c6e622e7b5a_tn.jpg
Wild and rowdy elite melee unit. Inspired by the Warhammer dwarven unit/miniature of the same name.
Storm Caller

Mystic spell caster and melee unit. Inspired by the Thane unit from HOMM V: Hammers of Fate.
Have fun with the models!

A nice set of dwarven units with excellent use of textures. Changes made. Works in-game. Approved!
I've been going back to WC3 Recently and giving the World Editor a shot and coincidentally I'm currently trying to make my own Dwarven Race to play with.
These are quality models and I'm hoping for more dwarves lol
I can't guarantee, but I might do more in the future.

These look fantastic! My only thought is that the Stormcaller's and the artisan's legs are a bit long long for dwarven proportions. I think the berserker looks perfect though.
I took them off the rifleman and made them less broad. Maybe that's it.
 
Great effects. The fire and lightning ones, I'll have to try and learn how you did that.
It's not that complicated. The wonderful @Vinz wrote a very good general tutorial on it:

Sure, I've got a fair few on the candle priest I'm doing, but sometimes people come up with particularly good texture choices (Blizz's Firelord uses blood as a fire effect which I wouldn't have ever guessed) or Vinz's next-level effects like void disk. Or that math wiz whose name escapes me, did a nanobot cloning spell or something?

BTW do you remember a recent female dwarf model? I did a basic search but nothing came up.
I swear Tilingghast or someone did a melee female dwarf, probably Dark Iron, in the last 6-12 months.
Or maybe I just dreamt it?

Nice models. The weapons, the beards, and the choice of texture are good. The miner does have long legs and rather tight-looking pants, but the backpack, the hanging lantern, the pick, and the helmet are fantastic. The bare-chested slayer with the mohawk looks cool, and the storm caller looks awesome. It makes me want to experiment more with animated texture.
I think what Bleeq might be talking about is my dwarf hellion (female warrior). It's pending a fix, and no one has pressured me to finish :p.

Not sure, but are you thinking of PROXY's "Stormheart" model?

Turns out what I was looking for was this "foehammer", which was hard to find coz: 1) not labelled dwarf 2) not labelled female 3) awaiting update status so didn't come up with default search options :thumbs_down:

Always excited to see new custom Dwarf models, and a trifecta of usefulness is quite generous! Worker, warrior, and caster is a great set. Giving them both Decay & Dissipate is always appreciated; it's very nice that more modelers are making that the standard.

I will say that the proportions (especially legs) seem a bit strange for Dwarves (though I read that this was intentional). Love the gold-box (instead of bag) & hammer for the Artisan. The Storm Caller feels a little too flash-y (though I love the effect on the beard). And while I generally love me the Warhammer-Slayer-style of Dwarf, the hair on this one really looks sorta strange to me, I don't know why.

Glad you found it! Yeah I too think 'Awaiting Update' should be on the default Search options.

Nice work! These are incredibly well-detailed. I plan to use these skins, the axe thrower, and the dwarven warrior skins as creeps on my latest map that will feature a mountainous dwarven fortress. These cool-looking custom dwarves will absolutely help to sell that concept. Thanks!

Thank you.
But these are models not skins.
