Tauren Youngblood

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
My very first model so it's expected to not be perfect. There wasn't a unique model for Tauren Youngblood so I gave him one. Could be also used as basic Tauren infantry

I basically removed the totem, the feathers, his septum ring, shrunk his horns, and added Centaur Drudge axe, Tauren Totem doodad effigy as shoulderpad, Dark Troll Priest necklace, and Grunt animations

Here's how he looks like in game:

Not sure which next campaign unit should I go for, perhaps the Shen'dralar Highborne in Rexxar Campaign?

Any criticism and suggestions are welcome! Icon perhaps later

- added new custom texture (thanks Mr Ogre Man!)

- linearized animations

Update 02 (13/02/21)

Update 03 (24/03/22)

Tauren Youngblood custom texture (Model)

Tauren Youngblood Portrait (Model)

I love it! More Tauren units please!

It would be fascinating to have full tauren Faction in my map

How about making Tauren Berserker hero / unit? maybe fel taurens can fit the berserker theme

The only thing I'd want to see added for this model is an icon to finish the unit but nonetheless, it's a great unit to begin with anyway :)
 
Tauren are amazing and I hope you consider making more, perhaps more Heroes, ranged and spell casters.

My only suggestion would be to add a TC Plane to the portrait, otherwise great work!
 
A "Teamcolor Plane" behind the portrait. (see the footman for instance, I think he has one)

Portrait which are "plain black" behind are looking a bit awkward ingame.
 
You can't add Teamcoloured portraits unless you add a portrait in a separate file, though. While you can edit the visibility of the lightning, you can't edit the planes visibility for some weird reason (I hope I figure out why, it's so annoying not being able to add TC planes, and an extra 5-10mb filesize is not worth it).
 
This is amazing, could you please kindly reconsider doing this with trollheadhunter to give him grunt animations and axe , i've tried myself but failed miserably :D
 
This model is indeed amazing! Used it from the start when I discovered it on Hype. Wanted to ask: any plans on making a range tauren?
I believe @Darious has made one in his Age of Warcraft; I think he will also release it when they're done with their project.

edit: I edited some typo in the thread

Oh yeah :D can't wait to see how the Age of Warcraft will look. I've seen the showcased models.
Regarding his shoulderpad. I was thinking maybe scale it a bit more to front/back to be a bit bigger than the Tauren shoulder?
