Naga Marauder

[435D]

Damn, we needed more naga unit models!

masterpiece

This is hella sweet.

Oh, what a nice fellow. Attack from gnoll model, I suppose?
Also I see that his chest and belly have the same scales as the rest of the body that is not typical for naga. Is that intentional?

Thank you for your feedback @435D @TiLi1323 @hexhound @Galendor an'Kreil !

Yes, upper body animations are from gnoll, and lower body from naga siren/myrmidon (walk animation)

Also I see that his chest and belly have the same scales as the rest of the body that is not typical for naga. Is that intentional?

I realize it now too it was not intentional. I can try to fix it for the Naga purists

Great in theory, animations are gnoll, out of character for a slithering creature.

Thanks for your feedback @deepstrasz .

I must say I'm quite intrigued because I think the exact opposite ! Gnolls are creatures with small heads and large hunched backs, using brute strength to fight, which to me perfectly matches the Naga race. That’s actually why I based the animations on the Gnoll.

Furthermore, the fact that two units from different races share the same combat style doesn’t necessarily mean one is out of character. For instance the Naga Myrmidon has exactly the same animations as the FelGuard — yet that doesn’t make it out of character.

But I understand that everyone has their own way of thinking, and I respect your point of view .

Cheers !

Ugh, I meant, the serpent humanoid acts like a canine one rather. Scratches its head, opens its mouth similar to a dog etc. Perhaps some better/fitting stand animations instead.

If a snake had arms it would definitely scratch itself like a dog if it had the chance XD

 

[435D]

By the way, are you also planning on releasing the scrapped Murloc models too? I've seen your map in the World Editor and would love to see it given a second chance!

 

[NightWolf/Pierziz]

Actually when I started the Naga race it was a mix of Murloc and Snakes but then I realized it would be better to make 2 separate races. I plan on working on the Murloc race soon (and thus replacing the Naga slave worker as well). I will release the Murloc models after releasing the other Naga models !

You, sir, just gave me plenty of ideas for customizing the naga myrmidon model. Also, naga with centaur animations when?

 

[NightWolf/Pierziz]

Ahah I'm actually not fan of the Naga centaur idea. I like to think as Naga as snakes not crabs. But speaking of centaurs I'm working on some models for the next races

 

[Rommel]

Little gnoll has gone a long way.

 

[Jab1z]

Fish boy with a spiky mace, good idea

 

[NightWolf/Pierziz]

My thought as well. You just get me

What a great additional Naga warrior model; creative choice to use the Gnoll animations, and the face is quite different. I agree it would probably be better (or "more consonant with the other Naga") if the belly-scale issue were fixed. But I can't help but like this little guy. ^_^

Thanks for your feedback. I'm on it actually, it will be updated tonight.

 

[NightWolf/Pierziz]

Updated ! @Kyrbi0 @Galendor an'Kreil I fixed the belly scales

 

[NightWolf/Pierziz]

Animations "Spell", "Walk Swim", "Attack Swim", "Death Swim", "Decay Swim", and "Spell Swim" have been added.
I updated the "Stand - 3" animation so that it looks more snaky @deepstrasz
