Tauren shaman model help

[Tactical Taco]

i am currently working on a ALL TAUREN MAP that i almost completed but requires 1 thing a tauren shaman so if i pick yours i will give you a credit in my map. any model will be appreciated THX

 

[Arisato]

Explain more

 

[Wandering Soul]

What Tauren units and heroes you already have and what you still need, since you wrote 'any model will be appreciated'...

 

[Tactical Taco]

i have all the heros i need but i am just missing a spellcaster tauren to replace the Shaman unit also a flying tauren unit would be great too (ex tauren riding wyrvin)

 

[Wandering Soul]

You require a druid type (Morphing-type Shaman), melee fighting type (Combatant Shaman), or something else.

What idea did you have in mind for this Tauren Shaman unit of yours? What it's role in your map (Healer, Supporter, Battle-mage, etc).

 

[Tactical Taco]

a all purpose shaman with the spells:
heal (defence)
Cripple (offence)
Bloodlust (support)

he does not need to morph into anything i just want a unique spellcaster tauren... nothing fancy

 

[Arisato]

tauren riding wyvern? that's killing the wyvern, tauren weights more than 1 tons lol i think
i just can't imagine that
I'll do it if i have time

 

[rysnt11]

I think a tauren riding a ' garuda' would be cool than a wyvern
Garuda almost weight over 2 tons, if i didn't wrong...

@ Izanagi THX for the help
@blindman those are hero units as well as i am already using them for hero's Lol

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Do this, ask permission from the creator of the model which suits you most and I will try to remove the hero glow.

lol...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Wow, thats so many heroes. Just maybe SEARCH in here or in Wc3c campaigns.

 

[Tactical Taco]

i would but thats why i have this tauren request thread in hopes that many exelent modelers will aid me and for those that said that a tauren/wyvern idea seems too unrealistic how bought tauren riding bronze dragon???

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Too strong.

 

[rysnt11]

A dragon is a beast that is very wild, and untamed one, so i think the tauren would choose an aerial mount that is strong like a dragon and can fly like hawk
So a garuda would be nice

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

But Garudas arent in Warcraft lore. It would be a total misfit.

 

[rysnt11]

If garudas is not, how about phoenix, but with texture of a hawk,
It would fit, a tauren riding a mystic bird...

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

But taurens are big and heavy. maybe dont just make any flying tauren units.

 

[Arisato]

Dragons, last choice,

 

[rysnt11]

Hovering tauren like acolyte...
Haha~
Or winged tauren?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Winged tauren could be...

 

[Wandering Soul]

How about no air unit for Taurens, instead they have powerful Anti-Flying Units (something with Auto-cast Ensnare or Aerial Shackle).

Or maybe Taurens can have some (trained) non-mountable flying creature (like War Hawk, Wind Serpent) to perform aerial assault if air unit is a must.

 

[chr2]

Red bull gives you wings, anyone?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Maybe a four legged bull like tauren that has wings.

 

[rysnt11]

Dont make sense...
A half-breed tauren with harpy?

 

[InfernalTater]

How about a tauren riding the ground as he walks?

 

[Tactical Taco]

its all good but if the flying tauren project is too frusterating remember that i still require a spell caster tauren

 

[Wandering Soul]

I'm making a Tauren Shaman (Grey Tauren, identical to Spirit Walker) but with a few changes (wields a claw-like weapon on the right hand similar to the Orc Shaman). I'll show you a preview in a few days.

 

[InfernalTater]

I'm pretty sure he wanted a shaman that didn't resemble the Spirit Walker or Orc Shaman, otherwise he would have used one of those?

 

[Tactical Taco]

no the claw idea is good because i basicly requre an offensive spell caster and a claw instead of a lamp good be a great ofence defence switch. that is my opinion

 

[Wandering Soul]

Preview - tauren spellcaster

Here's a preview of the model I'm working on.
It's still not quite finish, so there's space for editing.
I actually going to place a Feathered headgear (Like a Native American Chieftain).

This model is currently undergoing animation editing.
(Preview picture shows the model in 'Stand Ready' animation.)

 

[Ilike]

Omg, thats a cool model mate.

 

[Wandering Soul]

Finish - Variation No.1

I've finished a Tauren Shaman (who look more like a Warrior?). The base animation is from Spirit Walker, with some borrowed from Tauren Chieftain and Eredar Warlock (Archimonde/Kil'jaeden). I only notice the attack animation looks more fitted for a warrior-type unit when the model was near completion.

If this model is not suitable for your Tauren Spellcaster, I will make another Tauren more suitable for the role.

 

[Tactical Taco]

it seems to not appear ingame, is there any custom path modification i need? but after seeing it in the war 3 viewer. at first glance it seems great. but i will have to view the battle animations as you previously stated
