In Norse mythology, Drougr is the one name to label all undead.

According to my research, It truly is a mix between Ghoul and Vampire

Drougr

Unaccept, perhaps maybe built-in mansion.

I suggested crypt for the reason that it was a smaller building.
I suppose that the mansion will work.
Nordic Undead were put in tombs or barrows.

A Rough draft... Better version, coming soon!

What do you think?

They wield A two-handed axe to split apart enemy forces that are unfortunate enough to close with them.

Not too bad.

Stats, check!
Description and background, check!
Picture, working on a revised version.

Such things take time I suppose...

Thx!

Here is revised version, took all summer. Enjoy!

Maybe make armour a bit tighter or torn.

Tried that... Wasn't well proportioned.

You can make units in 32x64.

Hmm... If you would be able to...

Nah, that actually looks pretty good!

It's just I was told to do 32x32. Didn't Know that was an option.

Let me try that armour style. That was what I originally meant to do.

GO FOR IT!

I'm only good at trench coats and hauberks and platemail...

How's this?

Perhaps little wider body? It looks too slim now.

It's dead, it supposed to be thin.

Remember, they are the Nordic dead. Not too thin...

This looks good, don't know if it is a bit too tall but I don't know. Oh also you should join the Discord if you want.

Still, not too bad...

I like it.

Should I make it thicker?

A little Svara, but remember to keep it inside the specified parameters.

It just needs a little more to fill it out.

.

That's more like it!

Well looks like I didn't have to. Looks great it seems this is the only undead that works out.

I like the mycology units
But.

1)Vision 3 Sight 5?

2)Also a bit weak for 6 turns.

And u should consider the other similar units eg. phantom pikemens.
Its hard, since - have to be unique ,not Op and useful too.
To Worth to train.
I see many suggested units but since no one is ready/accepted I can't say precise for this.
May be a part of mutants variants -idea is waiting for finishing and accepted...


3)For start image the bone chest one looked better imho.

Current is to tall and as I understood is not giant.

Edited. Honest mistake...

Well, take these factors into account

1. It has veteran power (can become stronger than Phantoms)
2. Can lifelink, almost as powerful as a vampire, since it is a blood drinker
3. Has trample effect, like other races' berserkers (axemen, imperial Swordsman, etc)
4. And due to it's Nordic nature... It has bonuses against all infantry and cavalry, thus requiring a hero or dragon to put it down without too many losses.

You are right, it is not a giant, but rather a large speciman of undead. In life they were the tallest and strongest of the humans. Now... They serve as the line breakers of the undead!

They basically serve as minotours for undead. They aren't anti-cav.
