Terath's models

[Terath]

So here's the deal. Developers have been given permission to release information on new, upcoming and undropped legendaries. This is partly because there are some gaps in the items for hero classes or otherwise due to the major item transition. It is also because there is no real reason to keep them secret besides keeping the "surprise", which some people genuinely don't care about. So if you don't give a shit about surprises, this spoiler is for you. We will still not disclose the location of drops.

If you don't like new legendary item spoilers, and wish for unfound or new legendaries to remain a secret to you, don't open this spoiler.

Spoiler

Let's start:

Dark Griffon Bascinet
I'm at work right now, so I don't have a picture on hand of what this looks like. Somebody with OpenBRF is most likely already aware and will post a picture below at some point. It is currently in the drop tables and is lootable right now. It is the same model as the Griffon Bascinet, but the texture matches the Dark Milanese. When created, the texture will be changed to match a different armour for Legionnaire - a legendary one, but I haven't gotten around to thinking up a design for that model set yet, so it might take a good amount of time to complete.

Glory

This is a model that I made quite a while ago that I only recently got around to turning into an item. It is a Legionnaire-locked pilum with a bladed edge for use as a one-handed weapon. I've never been very good at stats, so please understand if I fuck up, but it should be comparible to Malice in use. Legionnaire always felt really one-note with its throwing weapons, and in the past couple of years I've been trying to remedy that with the Heavy Pilum and other items.

Dragon Sword

This one is probably going to come as a surprise to a lot of people. The Dragon set is one of my favorite looking sets in the game, even though there's nothing really spectacular about how they look. They just seem so solid and weighty that they feel really comfortable to use, unlike weapons like the Sun Pike Glaive or Thunder Pike. So, I will be continuing the theme of these items with the Dragon Sword. It will be introduced to the drop tables in the next update. It is a one-handed, commando locked orange legendary sword, which is an empty slot that I've wanted to fill for a long time. Now you might say, "Isn't that what the Dragon Axe is?" and you'd be kinda right; AFAIK the Dragon Axe is locked to both Commando and Sharpshooter, and seems more akin to a personal defense weapon than something you would use on the battlefield. This sword will basically be an affordable version of Mortifer, and is the first of many Dragon items coming. Speaking of...

Orange Legendary Armour Sets
This is something that I wanted to do since the items got moved around. Soon, I will begin work on orange-legendary armour for all four classes that will bridge the gap between red legendary armour and house craftables. Armour, however, is notoriously harder to work on than weapons, so please understand that this will take a lot of time, most likely into Q2 or Q3 of 2019. I should clarify; when I say armour, I mean sets, not just four body armours. In total, I will need to create sixteen pieces of armour - head, gloves, boots and body for each class. These will all be released at separate times because making them all at once could kill somebody.

I already have designs for the Crossbowman legendary body armour (thanks Sinner) and a complete design for the Commando set. The other two, archer and pikeman, are currently undecided, so if you have an idea you think would fit in NordInvasion, please PM me or post it here.

Dragon Plate
The commando set design that I have chosen is Dragon Plate. It will visually be in line with the other Dragon items, with black and grey plate, yellow / gold highlights, ornamental design and if I can get it to look good, a bitchin' cape or halfcape. Don't worry, though, because I will be making an alternate version of the armour with normal-colored plate armour and differently colored highlights (still undecided, I was thinking red, if I can get it to work) for those that want a different style. General design ideas are a visored bascinet with dragon wings extending from the sides of the faceplate and half-plate-style armour.
The Dragon Sword was made to match this set of armour, and so by the end, it should be a full set of armour + a matching weapon. If I can find a place for it, maybe as a visual alternative to Impervious, I also wish to make a Large Dragon Kite Shield that will match the visual style of the Dragon items, so you can finally be a full Dragon knight. This is the armour set that I will work on first, as it will most likely take the most time.

Crossbowman Armour
Name undecided, there's not much to say about this set yet. Sinner's art is really great and I think this smaller version of Brig Plated would fit perfectly. The concept might change a little over time, but mostly it will follow the art. In terms of general design, I was thinking a sallet, with lightly plated gloves and boots.

Well, that's all for now. I don't have a lot of time to work on stuff these days, but hopefully the coming updates can keep you interested enough to see some of these plans come to fruition. If you have any suggestions for the missing designs, please post them below. If you post them, put them in spoilers please. I don't want people to be spoiled by accident.
