Warning, this is all about Warhammer Online so skip if your not into the game.
Today I had to have a long think about the Bloodthirster. Not the first time I have had to think about it, but today was an important day. After all the Bloodthirster is a big monster, the biggest. And we need it to be right. I mean after you have been to the bastion stair, fought your way in and risked life, limb and hours of guild hunting time we need you to have a few BLOODY HELL moments.
So it's a big lad, I mean big. Think real big then think about 15% bigger. I needed to get the animators to think big. I mean this bad boy is so big that he currently clips out when you look up at him. (That's computer talk that means you can't actually see all of the figure when you look at him because it reaches to high into the air. This will be fixed before launch obviously.)
