Doesn't look like well made man :/ I love warhammer, look at my profile and this doesn't give archaeon justice. At least add more details.

Archaon the only everchosen that trumps even Abaddon the Despoiler when it comes to black crusades.

For the Dark Gods!!!!

I like it, but its not A+ quality that most sets valve adds to game. Best of luck to you

Oh man! Looking a lot better!

Definitely a great improvement!

@Chenito Don't mind at all, thank you for the crit! Those are some great tips, and definitely plan on working them in in a future update. Especially the link on joint topolgy - I haven't seen that one before, and it looks really handy!

Now this looks much better, nice work.

Real clean looking set, love the concept. Really impressive work IMO.

If you dont mind, I'd like to give some technical crits:

Its okay to use tiled fill textures occasionally, but sometimes tiled textures like the chainmail and the reins get visually repetitive. A vertical saturation gradient on some of the more uniform elements would also help break repetition.

When youre building the topology for limbs, be careful not to just put in two edge loops for a knee, it leads to the nonconservative deformation thats showing up on the leg of the rightmost pose in this picture . Consider instead one of these retaining geometries [wiki.polycount.com].

Just published the updated textures, new horse (with the original Archaon model's design), and loading screen! Let me know what you think

Yea I like the chaotic horse better, even if it looks like Chaos Knights typical mount, it works.

Other than that I look forward to the texture revamp! :D:

I'm glad you like the concept, and I've actually decided to redo parts of the mount to make it more like the original Dorghar.

My original plan was to mix the classic model (the one you posted) with aspects of the new Dorghar / Archaon model (namely the 3 heads), but, based on community feedback, I've decided to try to go back to the "chaotic horse" look. Expect to see it updated hopefully by the end of this week (A bit longer than planned, mainly due to the more drastic changes to the mount).

In the meantime, let me know if you have any other feedback regarding the model.

Archaon is a natural fit for CK, so I'd love to vote for this. I have to say, the weird, multiple headed horse is a huge turnoff.They don't look particularly great (could be a texture thing, which you already recognize) and they definitely don't fit Archaon as a character - his horse has always only had one head.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm planning to do a revamp of the textures when I get some time this week, so should have it looking a bit better soon

A little more texture on the mount would be nice, otherwise good ideas!
