You might want to try and soften up your shadows a little (I don't know if it's possible), But otherwise it looks awesome!

The model I did months ago and took a few hours (I forget how long). The animation I only started three or four hours agoDrivebymaster said:
(it helps that it only has 3 animations - two of which are single frame 'animations' 
)Easiest unit I ever did.

ahh I see now alls you had to do was just rotate the camera a bit lol or just move it and tell it to arc while moving

Naw ... I've got 9 cameras in my setup. 8 for N,S,E,W etc and one for viewing the model as I work

Ah! I always wondered how you get such good run animations, the 9th camera would certainly help.

ya it would help but when I do flash animations I use MANY cameras like one too many to get certain angles of what I want.....
I need to try unit making....maybe it could be fun with every thing I have like combining models with others and stuff...should be fun

Hey perfect!
Just to let Ya'all all know: In the mod this most likely won't be its own unit. It will be tacked onto some units as thier paradrop ability.

I think the dreadnought would be a cool addition only problem is what is it gonna be used for? anti tank at close range?

Do I hear a chorus of boo's and hissing? TGA, go get the tar and feathers!Naw. Only kidding. Do what you like, mate.

Furioso!
Muffins, yes there are going to be drop pods, but they are unit-specific (this drop animation being included in the unit ini-file).
BTW, nice looking pod
. Do I see correctly, that there are room for 6 individuals (in tabletop I'd call them models) there (the six opening hatches)? ... and there's nobody inside

There's also two versions of the Deathwind Drop Pod. One with assault cannons and one with missile launchers. But I find them useless.
BTW, why haven't you civ-coloured the whole thing like your other Space Marine units?
