For each of the series of these units, each batch will share 1 texture (saving a lot of space) if you have any other ideas that will help reduce the amount of space taken up, leave a comment below.

 

[MiniMage]

Bird-Hatter swordsmen. ;D

 

[jonbon29]

Ah your models reminds me of the game Metal Slug. Very impressive I'm thinking of whats next, maybe a side car?

 

[war55]

good model

 

[Splub]

Cool! Great job!

 

[Misha]

lmao, that helm

 

[Deleted member 237964]

Another good one!

 

[Heinvers]

Could you make imperial mounted infantry/dragoon?

 

[Fingolfin]

Haha this is awesome! 5/5!

 

[HerrDave]

I'll need a little bit more information, good sir

Do you mean a mounted/dragoon version of these models, or a more Napoleonic-esq set?

 

[Heinvers]

Napoleonic-esq set

That would be awesome cookie, please do that.

 

[Fingolfin]

I used to have a napoleonic set, complete for France, Prussia and the United Kingdom. They would need some tweaking in order to be released though, but the quality was extremely high.

 

[Animalpower]

Yes, dragoons. First tanks were used in 1916 and they had most of their cavalry fighting Russians.

 

[HerrDave]

There is a problem with le officer model, gentlemen. He plays his death animation in the portrait-window when he talks!

'Twould simply not do, not one bit.

Do any of you know why this is?

*edit

Fixed it with the help of hayate

 

[Fingolfin]

If you were to ever make a sniper variant, i could suggest him having a felt hat, like this, or maybe like this. I know it's more of an austrian style, but perhaps it could look cool for the sake of variety.

EDIT: Or better, they could be wearing a sniper mask, or even sniper armor! Looks pretty cool, heh?

 

[HerrDave]

I believe you've just thought of quite a good hero unit concept, sir!

Splendid idea!

 

[Teib]

Gun Animation

Great Model , but can you add a spell animation where he uses his gun, it's kind of a waste if he doesn't use it

 

[clockwork2]

*Whistle* Nice Luger.

 

[HerrDave]

For some reason the picture is not updating, nor is the "View in 3d" thing.

 

[clockwork2]

Sorry I dunno what to tell you. It's been awhile XD

 

[FireTiger]

Excellent <3. 5/5 + Rep.

 

[SNIper of DARKness]

Maybe the Officer could have a different face? All in all, I like the animations and the draw/holster weapon. Very nicely done.

 

[HerrDave]

I am considering using the Human Rogue Mage (dismounted)'s face, but adding a mustache and proper eyebrows to it is sounding trickier and trickier every passing moment.

The problem is - Every unit in WC3's skin has a pale yellow/beige washed out pastel look, and the face of the WotK units have a pink and gray mix with higher contrast around wrinkles and the eyes/nose.

The only bearded/mustached units in wc3 are either too old or too bearded, and the non-bearded ones will look like they have a plastic mustache glued on, as there won't be any darker shading/fallback on the face.

 

[Chaosy]

Wolf wearing sheep clothing. This is clearly a russian solider wearing a fallen german's outfit.

 

[HerrDave]

Any ideas on how to make Herr Officer look less Russian outside of adding a monocle?

 

[clockwork2]

A German WWI eagle icon tattoed onto his face XD ?

 

[DESTROYER123]

Wow..
Are you making any WWI campaign or something?
It would be awsoem with all your models.
Anyway,
5/5
+2rep

 

[clockwork2]

I think he's making one... Or maybe it's a Multiplayer map... In any case the project is called Wrath of The Kaiser I believe.

 

[Deleted member 237964]

I would love to see that one with gasmask.

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

This version is alot better! Nice improvement HerrDave.

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

Weapon is broken.. He waves his fist at people to kill them.. apparently??

 

[HerrDave]

Not broken, he's meant to be throwing a grenade or a molotov

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

Not broken, he's meant to be throwing a grenade or a molotov

oh... can you make a version with the Gun pls?

Also if there's no weapon.. then what's the point of the thumbnail.. it shows him with weapons when he doesn't have any..

 

[HerrDave]

Wait what?
OH WRONG MODEL!
Wtf is-- Magos' Model editor strikes again.
One second, I'm sorry about that.

*Edit
I thought you were talking about the Russian Flag carrier, no the Officer
Fixed now

Thanks! *I Actually thought the flag carrier was punching... so I gave him a melee anim in my map xd*

 

[fantocan]

Are there any good maps with these WWI models?

They look cool only played one that got me addicted to WWI vibe (WorldWar I: West Line Offensive) and can't find the author.

 

[Zess]

Excellent work with retexture and new Austrian models!
But you forgot to add an Austrian officer in this pack.

 

[Mechanical Man]

yeah, we want the austrian officer!

 

[Wayshan]

Btw by the screenshot he looks great! Sexy guy ^^

 

[HerrDave]

fffeck, one second (back from work)

 

[SonsOfSami]

fffeck, one second (back from work)

But you haven't updated the omni-skin.

 

[HerrDave]

For some reason the "view in 3d" is showing the old versions :\

I went through and manually updated all of them, so I'm somewhat at a loss

*Edit
Fixed it, I must have had a connection problem when I updated the pack, sorry about that guys

 

[SonsOfSami]

Now that they are updated, they have some problems:
-The cap brim of the WWI officer looks like split to black, grey and yellow due to the change in the Stahlhelm texture
-The texture of helmet of the Kaiser got messed up, again due to the change in the Stahlhelm
Edit: Fixed

 

[HerrDave]

Have another look

Basically because something went wrong when I "updated" the pack, nothing changed
- When I quick-fixed it, it changed the texture but not the model
- Now I've manually changed each model (again) and it seems to have stuck

[zeruwonfiver]

It looks like the WW2 German Officer is using the WW2 German SMG model
