Heh, I have no skills being an artist either :P, but I can mod textures a little, atleast enough for the mod I am working on, but I love the Orcs still heh. What changes are in the faction aside from just looks?

With Orc you don't have to choose between Magic and Tech, they can make chaman like they can make swordman, it is the most important change i think  :P

I see, so its like a mixture between the two factions, with some magic and some tech right? As well, I think your textures are nice, I like the horseman too. I'm working on a mod and trying to get textures and such for more units, do you have any orc textures I could use? If so email me them at email-^-yahoo.com but thats fine if you'd rather keep them to yourself.

you should change the armor, and not just the faces, I would make some dark looking armor.

Well, it certainly is a start. They kindo of look like green humans. I would maake them more muscular, and make the armor more barbaric. The buildings should be primitive stick forts, and animal skin tents. Great progress so far, but i would advise to not make a direct copy of the orcs in Warcraft 3. also, try to add some goblins or something of the sort.

this is lookin pretty good, especially for a beginning point (please dont take any offence to that)

like someone previously mentioned i reckon they could do with 'buffing' up because orcs are always pictured as hench wild beasts. i think it would also be nice if you could give them a 'hunched' look, it would certainly help make them stand out.

for buildings id say hawaiian style huts and maybe tents to give a barbaric and undeveloped feel.

but like i said this is lookin great (as long as its still goin :O)

If you are interested, email/upload it to me ( also if it's not finshed yet ) and  I'll publish it on my website (www.titusgames.de) .
I also can help you modify the behavier of the new faction and
my sons can test it to get a balanced new faction.
