Warsword Conquest is a total conversion of warbands mount and blade 1.153 based on the warhammer fantasy world by Games workshop and is single player only at moment.
Traditional sports in the far lands of Nippon are treated the same way as warfare.
Honour, ceremony and victory are all on the same level of importance. That's why, when the Daimyo or the Shogun call for war, even the sumo fighters leave their dojo and home to heed the call of their leaders.
Sumo Warriors (unit on the left) are then assembled in peculiar regiment of heavy troops, where they are reveered as sacred warriors, avatars of Nippon's ancient tradition for honour and glory.
These mighty T4 heavy troopers are armed with blunt weapons, to maximize their abundant physical strenght and focus it into earth-shattering attacks.
Not only the young sumo fighters heed the call for war though, even the masters and champions of said sport do.
Cheered as celebrities and sometimes far more beloved by the pèeople of Nippon than the Shogun himself, Yokozuna (unit on the right) are the very elite of sumo fighting.
Having spent all their lives training as to make their bodies impenetrable as walking fortresses of steel, the Yokozuna are defenders of Nippon's traditional values in their highest meaning.
These towering T5 elite warriors will wipe away all those trying to taint the honour of their sacred land.
Models by Kraggrim, based on the chaos warrior bodies by Furok.
Thanks to the Gekokujo mod's team for japanese weapons.
They have breast hair? :D
Yes they do. Giant japanese angry men! :D
lol
hihi nice :D
Glad to see that Nippon is getting some love! I do hope though that Nippon will eventually get some mythical units such as Onis or Yokais to suit Warhammer's high fantasy setting.
We are basing Nippon both over the very very very help-me-say-very-once-more VERY few bits of official lore and a fanmade armybook, we're not "making up" things, so we'll have to check if those are feasible both in game and in lore :)
If we ever give Nippon a retinue troop it will be an Oni. I would love for that to happen.
That body is made of Grorious Nippon Steer
Nice nipps fellas
Araby needs flyng carpets!
I think you should remove the helm and weapon on sumo warrior. They should be melee looking like that werewolf character in game.
Helm is needed because of modelling needs. It's not a normal helm, the body and helmet are all a single block on both, else you'd see a Chaos Warrior-like head with different proportion than the rest of the body.....and that is bad.
Also, Warband is terrible at handling unarmed combat, that's why we gave them weapons. Else we should have made "hand weapons", like for Beorg/Daemonettes for instance, that would look really off on human-like models. Another good reason for giving them a weapon.
Third reason, they are a good T4 tank-blunt and T5 tank-slash combos, something Nippon was lacking in their TT :)
Will Cathay be involved? Not as part of the map, maybe as mercenaries.
freethenipple ...or freethenippon?
Both, of course. Why even ask?!
lol
How much damage can they tank?
They have a new advanced version of ignore pain which means they can absorb a lot of damage.
