Sci-Fi heads & units preview thread

This is the thread for sci-fi leaderheads and units I'm going to produce for Pentagenesis mod and possibly for Warhammer 40.000 too (if there is still sane and determined person to work on it).

I have no previews yet - I'm not making anything until 1.0 version of my fantasy mod is done. However, I found bunch of models today at http://www.thirdeyefunction.fr.st/ that I'd like to show you. They are beautiful, lo-poly (nothing I ever worked with rendered so perfect and fast) and free. They are stand-alone figures, but I can add weapons, accesories etc. Let me know if you see any of these as a unit or head etc...

EDIT: these 8 figures are purely fictional, not from any book/game/movie

And Warhammer 40K units... I mean WOW, this guy made an Eldar... Actually he made two of them, but the other one (Eldar Scorpion) crashes my Poser
These are enough to make several core foot units and leaderheads...

I think that the two upper left units in the first post would make great leaderheads.

They'd make great units too.

Oh man.... I got go check that sight out, I might not be able to wait....

edit:nm, poser models....,

I know, the question is, do you see any of them in your mod? ie. the 2nd guy could be a base for cyborg head.

EDIT: nm, got PM

nice units...

Great pics, I agree. Just one thing - the sexy woman from the first pic (first in second row) would IMO look a lot better with high heels instead of these....mmm....boots (?)

OK, here are 4 head ideas, just ideas, so feel free to say they don't fit at all. I would show more but Poser crashed/freezed more than 20 times today. I'd really like to make more fitting leaderheads ie. with japanese-styled armor and stuff but it turned out to be a problem to find such props.

1st - cyborg. the only one I like personally
2nd - maybe sabre guild?
3rd - heavily mutated man
4th - just a man of industrial company

I love the cyborg, she looks well class!

2 more. i got quite off the track with that cybergirl but maybe she will find her place somewhere.

The cyborg girl looks great, and I really love the 2nd one, the sabre guild one. As for your second set of leaderheads, the guy looks great, but his chin kinda becomes a triangle and looks a bit deformed IMHO. Mby if you could make it look more smooth rather then defined and jutting out, that would be great (also kinda looks like Neo )
On a side note, r u gonna make some of these guys units if you get the chance?

Ho man! These look so good! (especially compared to my attempts at animation) I wouldn't worry about the japanese props.

Umm first one: Looks beautifully cold. Could be whitestar, could be Malseea the automon.

The second, since it is bald, maybe a clone. Perhaps United Clans, (ditching the incredibly ugly girl I have right now with blonde hair, blue eyes and black skin), perhaps Sabre Guild as well.

The third is fantastically ugly. He could take the place of Shi-Rhan of the Mutant League, whose leaderhead portrait has no indication of being a mutant.

The fourth one is also bald, now clones aren't necessarily bald I guess, but every time I envision them I envison them bald. The fouth looks like he would fit the Hauserco profile very well.

The fifth could also be Whitestar, which is why I am leaning towards the first being Malseea. I kind of tried to frame Malseea as power hungry, cold and inhuman.

The sixth looks like it could fill the void of Transgalactic.

I really like them all. Even the "humans" seem to capture a futuristic essence.

By the way, I am in the early stages of the infantry sytem I pm'd you about.... allthough I think I may end up simplifying it greatly. Here are the initial models..... nobody will notice they only have four fingers when they are unit size...

Actually most civ3 units have two fingers per hand so don't worry Is it still Rhino? BTW are you able to export models to .obj format?

For Hauserco I started a girl clone, with white uniform and lab background, I only couldn't find any hair (damn too many of them are bald already, though if you want all clones bald, say so). Oh and the sixth head, I wondered if it could fit any anarchic cyborg/human faction since you had some unused civ slots. For Whitestar I also wanted something else, more like on your picture.

@computerdude113
The triangle face is supposedly an asian feature, at least in poser, though I see if I can smooth it a bit. I will make some units shown in the 1st post, I just started from leaderheads since it's more fun. I can't use that models for heads though, they turned out to be too low poly and have almost no facial expressions.

Yeah, I'll go with all clones being bald. Not a genetic cause, but more of a "uniform mindset", a fitting in and not standing out kind of thing.

Sorry no .obj. Still Rhino..... I am trying to figure out when to put my project on hiatus for two months so I can get good at lightwave or Maya. My only animation experience is with Open FX, which is freeware....

Anarchic humans or cyborgs..... I already have 4 cyborgs, so human might be better.

EDIT: I just saw Warhammer 1.0 has been released.... must get it NOW!

EDIT II: I think the sixth leaderhead looks good.... looks German to me also.

Embyrodead do you think you could do a Martian Civ leaderhead?
I am currently working on a War of the Worlds Mod & scenario. I do not have any suitable leaderhead for the Martians. If you have the game Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds that would be a good basis for the Martian race. Also since i am Graphicly challenged (AKA NO TALENT)do you know somebody who could do those Martian Machines. I have all the civ. and pedia. entries for them but no graphics except for Wyrmshadows Tripod and Flying machine. Any help would be Greatly Appreciated

That swooping hawk and space wolf are beautiful. Too bad the scorpion wouldn't show up though.

@Asurmen
I have also Eldar Guardian model. With these 2, a minor change of equipment and colors can result in few basic units.

@Thorgrimm
I have never seen the game, nor have any knowledge of the topic I'm afraid.
