Dwarvish Treasure and other scenarios- dungeon units

Maeglin, what is WotC? I based this off of a figure (As in a painted model) I found online. But if it's copyright infringement or anything I'll remove it. (The Troll, btw was based off of a drawing of a Troll from AD&D. [Silly me, I just realized WotC is Wizards of the Coast, but no the were-rat is based off something like Warhammer I have no idea what it's from exactly.])

Rather, what you do is have the WML directly affect the unit's stats. I think it has ways to not merely make the unit suddenly have, say, 20 less hitpoints, but ways to make the unit actually run through it's "take damage" behaviour - e.g. animate and cry in pain (as it normally would in a fight) as it loses those 20 hitpoints.

What do you think about cumulative 10-20% "leadership" for other trollkins. They could be rather weak on their own but their strengh grows immensely if they appear in groups.

calling "normal" animations (damage, poison, mvt etc...) from WML is on my todo list, linked to a dozen FR assigend to me and on my todo list

so don't worry, it'll be in 1.3 eventually

Wyrm? Isn't "wyvern" the word you might be looking for?

Wyvern, a dragon without arms;

Wyrm, a snake/dragon crossover.

Dragons have wings, arms and legs;
Wyverns have wings and legs;
Wyrms have wings.

Hey what's that!

Ancient Wyvern: not as powerfull as the fire dragon, however still a force to be reckoned with,

the Ancient Wyvern would most likely be level 4 and have a powerfull bite attack, I'm not too familiar with wyverns, but if they'e supposed to breathe fire, this guy can;

it can fly however is rather slow and easy to hit due to it's sheer size, but resistances, health and sheer damage make up for any disadvantage it may have.

poison sting, rather, you shoud give it a scorpion tail.

While you're at it, re-do the fire dragon. The current one is somewhat underwhelming.

Judging by how well these are coming out, re-doing him would be a massive improvement.

I got inspired by this tread and decided to try to make my own creep unit, i call it "giant frog", maybe level 1 with ranged poison attack or something.
It probably won't fit in a dungeon scenario, but maybe it can be useful elsewhere.

P.S. this is my first unit so please tell me what you think.

Or the wyvern sprite could replace the Fire Dragon... it looks nice enough, methinks.

Hope you won't mind that I mirror-inverted this wyvern for DT because the HP bar was covering his head.
