@A Peasant Mobster
Thank you for your generosity and hard work in creating the modeling.
I uploaded the completed mod as below, so please play it if you don't mind.

@Backmechuisa sorry, got your name wrong, see the comment below

@Backmechulsa yes, of course, you are free to use the model in any way as mentioned in the description! Link me the result once you have published it!

@A Peasant Mobster
Hi, I'm working on a new db mode with your model.
The plan is to add a rune golem transformation capability like Cathay instead of having a mount for Dwarf Lord and Thane.
Can I use this model? I appreciate your hard work and would like to mention your credit.

I really hope CA brings these beauties to the game one day...

Good job on whetting our appetites in the meantime.

Thank you for your kind words!

This unit has potential to be very cool, most likely CA will force us to buy the DLC (a rival dwarf lord against the chaos dwarfs). If they add cool animations based on smoke and runecraft, ok, maybe that can justify the DLC price. But there's a legit chance CA will simply make what you and _D3rpyN3wb_ did, reusing animations from the titan units from the Tomb Kings and call it a day. For a modder, this is very impressive... now for the devs themselves, it will be very lazy

Nice. Very nice.
On the other hand the Rune Guardians would be employed by Dwarfs a lot for being both Engineer and Runesmith brainstorm children. And I wouldn't see it as a stretch if Malakai (even Grimm) or Thorek (not to mention Kragg) get their hands on those to mass-produce them after reverse-engineering them.

Cool stuff!

Aye, tis a good cause!

I still like to credit however

@_D3rpyN3wb_ I do this not for fame :D
I only wish to help the Dwarf cause!

@A Peasant Mobster its alright :D, I managed to learn how to kitbash instead and try to upload my version with the Colossus Bow animations soon, I'll link my mod and credit yours as well

@_D3rpyN3wb_ hey! I updated the LODs, it works now.
The axe thing is just a demo thing, I decided not to leave it in because it didn't look good with the animations imo, I posted the most neutral variant so people can change it to their taste.
Download the new version, it now includes the correct LODs and two props: a rune staff and a rune totem for the left hand.

Hello, I made the db's for this rune model, tried a custom battle and there's seems to have the wrong LODs? There also should be a version of the model where it has an axe in his arm like in the screenshot

DUDE. This is very much what a Rune Golem should be. Good luck turning this into a legitmate unit!

But sexier like better armor and golden color

Please make it real please make it real
