Another thoughtful post today so I thought about some model editing what if we gonna give each hero a unique model ? Well here is what I came up with why am posting this here you ask? Cuz if it proves possible to edit models I would include that in the upcoming mod I will make inshallah
So for the orc heroes:
dentarg model would be an ogre with some blue runes across his body to make him resemble more of his portrait
grom hellscream would lack a 2nd shoulder pad to make him look like his up to date appearance now if I remember right he has a shoulder pad on his left shoulder in wc3
Kargath would be hmmm lets see now I have seen edited models but replacing one of this guy hands with his axe? Well that will be interesting to see
Teron gorefiend ...Well if you look closely he is the only hero in the game with unique appearance his hood covering his face looks different to a normal death knight its slightly smaller
Deathwing for this guy I think the most optimal thing would be just recoloring the whole of the dragon model to black
Human heroes:
Alleria would have a hood and a slightly visible blue rune covering a part of her face
Danath well I think just replacing the footman head with a head that looks like danath would do it may look awkward tho
Tyralyuon or whatever his name is I think there is 2 ways to go with this one either a normal knight with glowing eyes or replace the head with that of a one resembling tyralyuon I can't get his name right and don't even try to correct me on this
Khadgar is simple just slightly grey beard or the entirety of his beard is grey
Kurdian and skyree well the dwarf kurdian would have some blue runes on his cheeks maybe some blue runes across the gryphon skyree too that would do
And as a reminder to whoever is reading this I still haven't thought about a new bonus for the human transport ships.
Most of these requests or ideas are already covered up within my mods.
You can check out either of the mods:
my Universal patch v11 (multiplayer)
https://gamebanana.com/mods/507336 or
Universal patch v12 (single player)
https://gamebanana.com/mods/514538Danath has a unique fan-made sprite where he has uncovered bald head and you can even see his eyes... probably need 640x480 resolution or taking a screenshot to see better his eyes
Alleria has Ranger hood that also Ranger unit has in-game
Turalyon has yellow eyes and light-blue hammer sprite, made by Incos - community member. Same for Uther I think
Lothar has unique fan-made sprite with white head hair and beard
Deathwing has unique fan-made sprite with a 2x size dragon and black skin color. It looks very big.
Dentarg does not have an unique sprite, even though Incos - community member did a blue skin colored ogre sprite. But in these mods I set this sprite to be used for some Ogres & Ogre-magi.
Kurdran & khadgar don't have actual sprites that i could change nor find.
I have a zuljin green head hair sprite but didn't apply it. I had the same feeling for Lothar since this character have so little usage in just one campaign map and very little used for custom maps.
I have a custom Grunt sprite in the mods where the unit only has one eye and bald green head. But i did not use it for Grom or Kargath. Yet, I also use another fan-made sprite that looks like a Commander Grunt for some randomized grunts but not for these heroes.
I think that's it. But you can check them all by looking into these mods.
