[Tirath]

Ive already posted this on the damonic steeds thread but i want more to see it.

hmmmm, so if they cant leave their disc`s..
under the "storms of chaos" GW made som cool chariots fo thzeeentch

Like when a magus would stop combat and pick upp pace on the field he would summon 2 screamers to pull his chaoriot.. like this:

Personaly i think that would be awesome>!8)

[epicatlantis]

Wow, that would be really cool. I would like to see something else then just having the disk be their mount.

That kind've looks like a pod racer. Lol.

[Rowhin]

That would be so damn awesome...I think my guild would have to drag me into the fights as I would only fly around with my disc in this mount form anymore...

Yes, it's already been linked in already existing threads about mounts for the Magus.

[AlienOverlord]

Yes, it's already been linked in already existing threads about mounts for the Magus.

Nonetheless, I heartily endorse this idea!

[Thrakkesh]

Can we turn into Flamers of Tzeentch too?

[mongoose]

I wouldnt expect a Chariot but definitely something like this (http://uk.games-workshop.com/hordesofchaos/miniature-gallery/8/)

Edit: fixed the link

Those seems cool no doubt. But I think I..for the first time..might actually play a RDPS if his disc just transforms into something BIG and spikey...and cool and goes really fast. Something kind of like this.

But obviously doesnt make a humming sound, lol.

EDIT: damn someone beat me to it. >_<

'Mount' form is actually a rocket booster on the back.

Unfortunately, no Magus can actually level past mount level, as there is no feasible way to remain standing on a disc rocketing past the speed of sound.

I fully agree and endorse the idea of Magus' getting this for their mount.

[harrogath]

that isn't a mount that is the disk. the model we have seen in WAR is i placeholder i think, or a low level version. i would bet that at 40 that is what the disk looks like

[Kurganxy]

Yeah, i think it would be cool if the mount changed as you leveled up. and at what ever lvl players get their mount be it 30 or whatever, you could update your disk, so when you need speed, you can change it to become your mount (like the chariot pic above) and when you dont it would be the usual upgraded Disk

Actually, I think that is a valid issue relating to the disc as our upgraded mount. A not funny one.

I think the Magus's regular moving animations already look pretty iffy last time we saw them. Just how in the heck are they going to make him look halfway decent when he is moving 200% faster?

Like I said in the other thread, a normal player on a horse or something is very obvious to animate. Even a Dwarf in his beer cart, you can have him rattling around in there, and since its wheels are touching the ground, the physics of the rest of his cart and how it affect him are pretty simple.

But the Magus is just standing there on a disc with no support. Even if his feet are melded together into the Disc, he would still likely fall over when it takes off at full speed in mount form. He certainly wouldn't just stand there like a rigid pole like they have him doing now (and already looks bad). What about when he makes 90 degree turns at full speed in mount form? How do you display that momentum shift? If you make him do some surfer balancing animation that could look equally ridiculous though. :???:

I hope Mythic knows what they are doing with this class...

[Alastor]

I definetely support that pic as a mount!

I think that it would be great if the disk morphed into a chariot like the one posted much like how the marauder’s arms morphed. It would still be the same "disk" as before but have some sort of chaos-y mutation on the front to grab onto while being pulled by screamers. That would be the coolest mount ever. It would also be something notable to look forward to as you grow in level compared to some movement spell.

Speaking of disks changing; I think it would be a good idea to have some noticeable changes of the disk based on level much like how the dwarfs’ beards change. At first it will be very basic, but as you grow in level it will grow to fit in more with the spiky epic armor and have a look with no other description then kickass.

Uhhh...magic? Seriously you have to take a medieval mentality here, if you don't understand it, it's goddamn magic and should be thrown into a pond to see if it sinks or swims. :D

[Abfeuern]

It's obvious they'll look like Goku on that Nimbus.

Well it won't sink, because you can't swim under water in WAR! :)
