'HYDRA DOMINATUS!'

Addendum: For the Emperor!

The current implementation of the Spellthirster Hydra is rather lacklustre:

CA, I do wish to see it changed in the future. The Spellthirster Hydra should become a unit proper. A simple retexture accompaniesd by vfx and aura will do:

So what exactly are the changes that I would like to see?
1. Runes shaped wounds
2. Blue-black glow
3. Magic resistance for the nearby units

As for the Game3 Dark Elf DLC/FLC, I would like to see more Hydrae variants. Or at least the Royal Hydra. After all, they are one of Khaine's favourite beasts:

This is one of the units I'm hoping eventually comes with a delf dlc, in the meantime I recommend the varied hydras mod which adds them.

We need a remodel for the Spellthirster as well. It needs to be more slender-headed (i.e. lacking the thick snake neck). That and some actual head variation would do wonders for this series...

Either make the Spellthirster model...or just make the skill part of Rakarth's skill tree for Hydras in his army. Not a timed buff.

That was exactly what I was thinking for a spellthirster hydra.....for it to have an AOE magic resist aura in exchange for it being weaker overall. I had no idea there were any books with that implementation in them.

Also, why is no one talking about the weirdo with 6 arms?

Oh and yes, Imrik needs a rework

Umbral infiltrators they are. Sneaky bunch they are.
