New Unit: Warp Raider

[Orthanc]

This is the last of the Skaven ships requested by LizardmenRule!, the Warp Raider. I have to say, making the smoke green proved a little challenging, I hope it works out alright. Also, the exhuast at the back weren't in the original image but were requested to be put in, so I hope those are satisfactory as well.

Here it is:
Warp Raider

More boats ahoy!

I don't get what's wrong with the Skaven, they have the weirdest ships i've ever seen in a fantasy game and they don't look too functional.

But, despite that, it's a good and accurate creation.

Nice and... green.

 

[Stormrage]

Woooo! Woooooohooooo! Woooooo! Thanks Orthanc! Woooooo! *user runs around the room* Wooooohoooooo!

And whats wrong with Skaven... lets see you try being a rat-man who is always high on some mutagenic warp-crack

Great unit, very unique.

 

[LMR]

Thanks a huge bunch Orthanc it is great!

@stormy: i would think being a rat-man would be hard enough, let alone on mutagenic warp-crack!

 

[Orthanc]

Reminds me of my last Chemistry teacher...

Yep, its official that weird things are often the most fun to make.

Cool.
I'd probably darken the green a bit before using it (warpstone is a darker green, in my mind, at least), an easy palette conversion, but all in all it's a very good ship!.

beautifull

Sorry to bump an old thread. I noticed that a box appears around the ship during the death flic (see image). Orthanc, can you fix this? It may be some kind of palette issue. Otherwise, great unit.

 

[mrtn]

Orthanc used pure magenta at least three times in the palette (probably due to the green death explosion), thus the cock up.
Here's a fixed version (should work, haven't tested it in game):

Looks good, although the death explosion could use a little refining...looks too perfect a sphere.

 

[Orthanc]

Your flic works fine in FLCster, should be fine in-game.

That's weird, looking at my own flics, even in slow motion, the box doesn't show at all for me. Anywho, thanks for fixing it, as for the sphere-explosions, I honestly don't know that I could do much to fix that, it would probably require making some randomizing calculations and formulas, which I'm not all that great at (Math=Orthanc Bane). Unfortunately I've got a little too much going right now to go back to this, currently, but I'll keep it in mind.

mrtn - Thanks for the fix, works great in-game.
Orthanc - I like the anim, and don't see any need to redo it. Why can't a random explosion result in a sphere? Just as much chance as that as anything else...
