Nomad = Vulkan and the Archon got Upgraded

Posted 12th Sep 2008 04:04 PM by Leord

The Swedish/Norwegian word for ‘volcano’ is ‘vulkan’, and this is coincidentally also the new name of the old Nomad. The newly named Vulkan is going to “be raining down chaos at your expansions with its Auto Turrets”. This is just in from Karune, who also say that the Archon has received a facelift on his portrait, as well as lost his legs and started floating above the ground.

Speaking of the Nomad, it has actually gotten it’s new art update, and a name update as well. It is now known as the Vulkan, and will be raining down chaos at your expansions with its Auto Turrets.

On that same note, the Archon has also been updated visually with an amazing portrait animation that will surely command respect when ordering this guy around. Furthermore, say good bye to the ‘walking’ Archons as the ‘legs’ to the unit model have been removed. This unit now hovers around the battlefield decimating enemy forces like a true ominous being.

Keep a look out for these two art updates in future screenshot releases smile

He also clarified himself later:

Blizzard Quote:
This new Archon is also ‘leg-less’ and has updated art from any build or screenshot seen thus far is what I meant.

The Nomad update was a bit of a surprise.  We knew they were playing around with a design tweak but a complete name change?  Hopefully it still has it’s Nano-Repair ability.

It even had the TF-Something-Or-Another serial number. I wonder what the exact name of the new one will be.
