This Machinima orchestrion from Tyrannicon makes use of the modding tools available for Skyrim. Watch two wizards use armies to battle one another. We’re talking 500 Dragur, 200 skeletons and a skeletal dragon against 500 Dwarven Warriors. Okay, the blurb says Dwarven Warriors but I think they’re just humans in dwarf armour. This more than […]
