Orc Slasher Pack (WotR)

[Jaina Proudless]

This almost looks like its ripped from the game.
This one's obviously higher quality. Good for LOTR maps.

 

[Warseeker]

Wow, that's an amazing model, well-detailed

Thanks for the compliment?

You wouldn't believe how hard it was to get that model right. His arms are a nightmare.

Right now I am working on version 2 of the Uruk Warrior before I feel confident enough to make the orc and uruk bowman from WotR. (Need practice with warcraft troll body mesh)

His waist is WAY too narrow at present, but it is hard to get him to blend in with grunts and troll headhunters with wild proportions otherwise.

Helmet - LotrO Shak-Hai Helmet
Stance - LotrO Angmar Uruk
Theme - War of the Ring

Your models are just sweet, HerrDave! They're all interesting with a consistent high quality. Keep the good work. Oh by the way, this Uruk-hai you're working on now reminds me of Bison from Street Fighter for some reason, lol.

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Well done =)

By the way for that uruk warrior 2.0 I think the cloth around the waist area should be a bit longer downwards with two extra cloth strips not as long as the middle around it though that's just my opinion, it already looks awesome. Looking forward to more releases and screenshots.

 

[HerrDave]

Currently working on the new mesh and texture for him, I screwed up the old one (badly) and saved over it ;_;

The new base for him is Grom Hellscream (with machete, rotella, Helm, extra bits yet added)

Since he is untextured, he looks kind of like-- a very early model for Wc3.

 

[JesusHipster]

It's a all-around good model. But i personaly think that double-action attack animations look sloppy in wc3. Have you tested it, mate?

 

[HerrDave]

I have indeed tested it, the only problem I myself have with it is the lack of a second impact sound.

When I remove the second slash, it turns into more of a hacking move with a sword (which looks wrong on a sword weilding unit)

Any suggestions?

 

[JesusHipster]

Any suggestions?

I'd just cut it into two different animations. I feel like every slash should come with an instance of damage and sound playing.

 

[HerrDave]

Did as you suggested, and it looks pretty good! Thanks Jesus

(That sounds weird in this context)

 

[Tauer]

Woah, this is great! You've come a long way since you started making these LotR models! This one looks really close to the one in the game. Did you make the animations yourself? They look awesome.

War of the Ring was criminally underrated. That game was so fucking good.

 

[HerrDave]

I did indeed make the animations myself.

I based all of the animations but the walk animation off of the orc's from WotR, but the walk animation I based on the WoW geist because I couldn't mimic the orc's running animation properly :\ (Its a jog and a leap which is remarkably hard to animate)

Right now I'm working on a Stormtrooper, Dwarf Axethrower, and Orc Bowman.

Also if you're curious, I've finished reworking the Uruk Melee model - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/uruk-hai-warrior.270525/

Moderator/Reviewer post:

this model has come a pretty long way since its creation, and it evolved into a pretty good little unit. it still might need the weapon swing sounds in the attack anims, but i'm going to go ahead and approve it. good job

Oh god that model looks good and useful to me.


-------Now about the Orc Slasher---------
Like someone said up there, its so good that it looks like it was ripped off the game.

 

[Dinodin]

So awesome! I find no words, it's like it has been taken out as it is from War of the Ring and to wc3

 

[Moises08x]

cool

 

[Ether]

Very super fine model, hey man, can I make a skin for this?
I have a concept of making a black or undead one.

By all means, go ahead

 

[Gonzales]

Better fits the name of "Orc Abomination". Nice work btw

 

[Zasmodan]

New update of your model. Could you suggest adding more goblins like Goblin Spearman (Wotr) to a pack?

Hey Zasmodan, I've got good news for you;

I've got an improved Goblin Spearman who is almost ready to upload, alongside a series of new goblins

• Goblin Spearthrower (Spear)
• Goblin Sapper (Sword and Bomb)
• Goblin Guard (Heavy armour)
• Ashurz, the Goblin King (Ground scepter Hero)
• Mazog, Lord of Caves (Ground axe/shield Hero)
• Gorgar, Chief of Gundabad (Warg Rider dual-wielding Hero)

While Mazog and Gorgar are technically orcs, they'll still be associated with the Goblin assets

Right now I'm working on Hobbits

That is fantastic I will look forward to it

 

[Zasmodan]

You still have this model and if so, you could publish it for me to download

 

[HerrDave]

Unfortunately I no longer have that model - it was a prototype which was eventually split into the Uruk Warleader and Uruk Warrior

 

[Wazzz]

With the new greenskin version of this model, does this mean the Warg Rider is looking at an update with a greenskin version? :O

 

[Villagerino]

A cool model, I especially love the sword

I'm planning on releasing a green/grey-skinned hero version of the Warg Rider, based on Gorgar, Chief of Gundabad from LotrO

It's very nice to see Orcs from Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring game placed in Warcraft III. While I am not making any custom campaigns, just conceiving some concepts for fun, I have these models in my mind when envisioning the Hellborne – an underground race that appear as one of the antagonists (alongside Werewolves, Vampires, Skaven and the Drow) in a campaign about Ner'zhul and Shadowmoon Clan.
