First of all, why?
You answered your own question:
I'm afraid such a Gnoll would turn out too tall.
Secondly, why not? )
Well, Gnolls are... weak, cowardly!

I'm continuing to work on the gnoll; the muzzle can be made wider, and the ears can be taken from a gremlin, although there's another option for the gnoll.

Here, he's thin, with a less wide muzzle and sharp ears. In Heroes 7, he's something in between this and the picture I posted earlier, so he can be any of those.
And I found another cool creature.

It's unlikely that I'll be able to make something like that, but if you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them.

When I tried to make the muzzle wider, it got distorted:smile11:

And I keep coming up with half-baked ideas: we could make a gnoll archer instead of a lizard archer. Why is this idea only half-baked? Because lizard archers, a la Heroes of Might and Magic III, are complete nonsense. Their eyes aren't suitable for it, because reptiles' eyes are mostly directed sideways. Gnolls are better in this regard. Or maybe we need a chameleon head?

Couldn't we just change the scale?

Our gnoll has too long a neck; it probably won't look good, but a javelin thrower might work.

So, can't we just change the skale?
I'm not a modeling expert; I don't know how to make them smaller.

Yes, it would be fun to see a gnoll spear thrower based on the spear throwers.

Oh, well, that’s worse. I just thought you had already done that with some other parts.

Regarding the Gnolls, I think it would look better if they had legs from the Rashaks.

We need models of severed legs, but we don't have any, so we will use what we have.

I am posting screenshots from different angles; I think we should remove the armor from the abdomen, add a leather shoulder pad, and recolor the clothing in brown tones, plus draw a necklace made of bones, and then work on upgrades.

I actually like it this way (if we remove minor flaws like the dagger hanging in the air on their belt).
It's better to stick to the original idea:
Gnolls - low-level, agile melee units.
Lizards - archers/warriors
Gremlin ears could look good on gnolls; we should try it. And it wouldn't hurt to give them a slightly larger dagger...
The original assassins had such a small dagger because their main weapon was a crossbow. For gnolls, the dagger is the main weapon, but right now it looks like a toothpick. And we definitely shouldn't make their faces wider! :smile38:

I was also thinking of giving them a larger knife and upgrading their right hand with a shield, and their left hand with a normal saber.

I agree that the armor needs to be recolored.

I repainted the gnoll, changed its knife, and added ears.
