IRONROTH MEGATHREAD🧵
As promised, this November I'll complete this megathread. Talking about our ideas, who was involved and all that good stuff.
No better place to start than the origins of this project:

Speaking of Horsemen, one I've mentioned but never shown since I had no idea what to do with them until today lol

Horseman Lireesa Windrunner
Much like my DK Whitemane redesign years ago, my focus was to sure be DK-ish, but also make clear what they were before death.

I think I can finally say Horseman Uther is done.
Dealt with my main concern of the previous iteration, of him looking too much like regular Uther. In my mind a balance needs to be struck between recognisability and actual spoopy DK elements.
(Is it mostly the same set? Shush)

God, where was I before the Varian tangent. Ah yes models. Final two are Jaina and Moira.
Jaina was about the same idea as Anduin, trying to replicate MoP Jaina in a newer model (and rip exposed belly, not on purpose).
And for Moira simply replicating and improving her MoP look.

Then the one and only Goat. Varian has to be the character with most model iterations in my machinima lifetime, and I think this is the highest I can reach for, combo-ing wow and hots pieces.
Scar texture made years ago by @handclaw.bsky.social for an entirely different project I never finished.

Lots of Models to showcase for this scene.
So let's start with these two, young Wrathion and young Anduin. Tried my best to replicate their younger looks with the newer models, and while not perfect, I do think they both fit the part. Some of the charm is lost I do feel.

As the model aside from this scene there's of course the Goat. Shaman Thrall using the SL model as a base.
The pieces of the Doomplate, not present in MoP are a deliberate choice. With Vol'jin gone, the Doomplate could serve as symbol to rally the rebellion, given its history.

Anyways, around 2021-22 is where I tried to push for this Garrosh AU for the first time.
I even made some concept models, and I teamed up with some folks from the Lost Codex to try and figure it out.
Funnily enough Aggra and Rexxar (not pictured here), ended up used in Episode 2 nearly unchanged.

Fastforward a couple years at around spring 2024, I come to @khonochronos.bsky.social and tell him something along the lines of "Hey, come make this ridiculously expansive thing with me", he said yes.
We grabbed some of the old concepts and streamlined them to fit all the pre-siege info in one Ep.

Let's go back a few years, not too long after I started making machinima, I realized I had two dream projects.
- A Scourge of Lordaeron Movie (which I tried to get moving, but didnt stick with it, maybe on day)
- And a large serialized AU project.
One of these did indeed happen lmao
