Every army in the game has been redrawn over the last few days. That's 105 ground units, all 35 flyers, the ships and all 96 heroes, with new models, new animations and new portraits.

Six hero portraits as they were in mid-September (top row) and the same heroes now (bottom row)

What's new

  • Ground units are new hand-painted models with heroic proportions. Most have their own walk, attack, idle and death animations, and the rest are vehicles.
  • Flyers, from gryphons to airships, are all new models, and the winged ones fly with their wings level.
  • Ships are new for every faction.
  • Heroes have new models and new painted portraits.
  • Your colour on your units. Plumes, sashes and shields now wear your player colour.
  • More colour: set Unit Colour to Accents & Cloth in Settings and it spreads to cloaks and caparisons.

Still rough

  • Some units animate badly: an arm that snaps for a frame, a weapon through the body, a cape that stretches. I'm working through the list.
  • Six mounted units, including the ram rider and the warg rider, keep their old models for now.

If one looks wrong to you, say which in this thread. Faction and a screenshot help.
