Introduction:

Another big monthly update for everyone along with some very exciting news! We have continued to make solid progress across the board and are steadily working out way towards a playable beta for everyone to enjoy!

For this month we have yet another very nice mix of models, assets and concepts to show you! As well as some exciting videos being done to showcase our work, so keep an eye out for that!

Now lets dive in!

First off, to enjoy browsing/reading through our article here´s a little music to listen to.
Composed by Faco to get you all in the Warhammer mood!

3D:

This time starting with the Empire, we have some new armour and weapon sets to show off. Starting with the new Free Militia and Halberdier!

Coding:

Our coders are still working on the foundation for our overhaul but a lot has been accomplished already! Battlesystems such as crumbling, regeneration, preventing the losing faction from routing (only applicable to the vampire counts of course) and more! Though what would the Warhammer world be if it wasn´t for some good old magic? Ranging from spells such as fireballs to those a little more devastating e.g. winds of death. We are also looking into changing the GUI and adding some more features to it!

This all thanks to our little skaven coders working in the dark? These guys deserve the highest form of praise!

Voice Actors:

Speaking of skaven, here´s a little something to show off what our skaven pack has been up to so far:


We think SirSeaGhoul, Delaitre, RichieDe and Trench Dog have nailed it! Hope you all like it as much as we do!

Loremaster:

The loremasters have been helping with the map! Doing descriptions as well as coming up with many mechanical concepts that we would love to feature in the future. So very much like our coder friends, our loremasters have also been working their magic in the dark!

We are still looking for talented artists such as a VFX Artist, 3D Artists, Sceners and C# Coders. If you are interested in any of these roles, or any of the others, feel free to head over to our #applications channel on the discord! Everyone is welcome!

A lot of impressive concepts and models.
But why is there a female Halberdier?

TBH the cuirasses for the militia look awful. Not in the "it's shoddy quality' sense but just objectively bad from design. Warhammer Fantasy plate armor isn't unrealistic and has proper bodily shaping for the most part, even the Chaos Warriors.

I disagree, I think they did a great job on the realism of the armour.

From a purely practical point of view having the cuirass go down below the waistline (that'd be around the elbows) restricts torso movement.

There was armour with this design in history, especially for early plate forms appearing in antiquity, but usually Warhammer is meant to mostly simulate 16th century soldiers where this concept had been figured out.

16th century cuirasses, even the munitions grade stuff, stop at the natural waist and any armour below it is handled with articulating lames.

I thought this was just gonna be a cool little mod, not everything being over the top AAA quality.

Seriously, you guys have done FANTASTIC work here. You could easily say these are assets for an upcoming Warhammer game and nobody would question it for a second.

The Music is fantastic! Will we ever be able to purchase the OST in anyway to support?
