Fire Warrior (September 20, 2009)

[utahjazz7]

This is a Fire Warrior for the Tau Empire of Warhammer 40k. I made the unit months ago now. My original intention was to help put together a pack of Tau units and release them all together. But, that doesn't seem realistic anymore, as I've only completed this one unit in six months. So, I decided to just release the unit on its own. Hopefully it will prove useful to someone.

FYI: I don't have any plans to make any other units for Civ3 right now.

Awesome!!

real life screwed with my unit making too

That's a nice unit and... a sad news Hope you can come back to it soon or have fun with something else, in case real life keeps you away from this forum.

Awesome unit Utahjazz! I love the animations, very seemless and realistic.

It has my vote for unit of the month so far if you enter it!!

Likewise I'm sad to hear you don't have a lot of time for unit making. However, I know that feeling all too well. I'm putting in a LOT of hours into my RL work these days. I recently started back up full time at a temp to hire job after having been laid off a couple years ago from the real estate industry. Being the low guy on the totem pole, if my employer says he needs me to work weekends or extra hours I can't afford to say "no". It's not like I can just run out and find a better job at the drop of a hat.

Wow !!! Just Wow !!!

 

[wolf_brother]

Wow! That's beautiful! Easily the best-looking power armored unit I've ever seen.

 

[zo-zo]

Oooow! That looks good.

Anybody have any ideas for the sounds.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Really nice, Utah, and I likewise feel for you... This year was extremely bad/busy for me, but hopefully things will be better next year and I'll get back to unit making and such.... You just take as much time as you need, you hear?

 

[BadKharma]

Another impressive unit Utah, and I hope you can get back to making units in the future.

 

[Grandraem]

The unit looks awesome, and it's very well animated. Great job.

 

[Bluemofia]

Impressive!

Quite nice, and it should compliment that other Tau that Smoking Mirror made way back in the day.

Sad to see you go, you are one of my favorite unit creators. Good luck!

 

[Mithadan]

Wow, that was an unexpected surprise! Very cool.

Keep it real, Torey.

 

[Ozymandias]

Very bummed that you're not planning any more units - but a superb unit to leave with on a bang

Best,

Oz

 

[Wyrmshadow]

The fluidity of the movements is excelent as always.

 

[Keroro]

Wow. That. Is. Good.

Always great to see another unit from you. We'll miss the quality if it's the last one, but thank you for all you've done in the past. Love the smooth, natural movements and the flash effects on the attack anim.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Excellent work!

 

[Pounder]

Sorry to be a bug, but the background colour isn't fully transparent.

I was quick to add to my game, great looking unit, thanks utahjazz7.

 

[General 666]

Having my own SciFi Battleground Mod ,let me put your Unit into good use. Thanks for uploading.

 

[Deth McBones]

Yay! Another Sci-fi unit!!! Looks awesome!

And I am extremely bummed you may not make more units. Your units are always so well animated and fill much needed roles.

utahjazz7... Excellent Unit
I corrected the Flc Background color and made a corrected units_32.pcx file IF you want them.
Just offering Unasked for Help and hope it does not offend you as I know you could easily correct these minor issues. #225 smoke shade was in your palette as pure Magenta so when loading the palette to nearest color matching, the storyboards picked up that smoke shade for the backgrounds. That is not visible unless in game as you know.
I added all files to this Zip and nothing else was changed at all... Only the Background Color correction concerning the palette and the new units_32.

Again Great Unit
