Robotech Units Needed

Hey Gelion! I''m a big robotech fun and I'd love a Robotech scenario. Can you tell us more about it? Timeline etc etc. Unfortuneatly I'm not so good at creating units but I can help with anything else you might need.
 
Good to see a fellow Robotech fan :D

Well the history is like this:
At roughly the same time both REF and the Invid learned about a Tirolian colony where the last Robotech factory was still known to be. At the same time they send expeditionary forces to claim the Factory and gain the Protoculture production matrix wired in the factory. Once they arrive they find that the local population is in a civil war. Central government was fighting the rebels that wanted radical reforms in society.
Once REF arrived they managed to convince some of the Tiroloan population to live the micronian way of life. Thus the Central Tirolian government was slit in two.
Basically there are 7 civs:
3 Tirolian nations with unique techs all fighting one another (pro-REF Tirolians, Central Government, Rebels)
Invid
REF
Zentaedi Forces in control of the Robofactory.
All civs have unique units and graphics (i.e 4 types of city graphics).
The goal of the game is to kill the Robofactory unit (that needs to be discovered first). Invid and REF are playable. Side quests and lots of random events should create an atmosphere of struggle for the planet with 2 superpowers fighting for control and local population trying to adapt.
If you are still inetested I'd love to hear your ideas as to which buildings should belong to who: i.e. who had the tech to have a building, what should the new name be and so on.

It looks great! :) thank you. All I need now is some ground Tirolian Forces.....
Can you post some pictures of them and then Ill get to work.

One soldier looking like they guy with a rocket launcher
One civilians looking unit

This was a little confusing, but at least you know how they look like :)
 
Can you give me a size comparison please.
Sorry it took so long to reply I didnt noticed you had replied.
 
Sounds like an interesting scenario. I am more than willing to playtest etc. :goodjob:

Edit: The sizes for the tirolian infantry is the same size as regular humans.

Hmm all the "human" units are of normal "human" size.... Is that what you meant? and np :) Thank you for working on this...

@Arthedain: Thanks! :D
 
What I meant was what size should they be in correlation to the units Ive already done.
 
About the same size as Zentraedi Settlers.... I mean Engineer
 
Gelion, I'd love to help. I think I may have some futuristic-looking rocket launcher soldiers. How faithful to the picture do you want the unit to be? And, for the battle armor, should it match color scheme of the third image in the list above ("More Battle Armor")? And, do you have other links for Robotech miniatures? Seeing some of the websites got me wanting to use PSP on that stuff all over again. Oh, and I found a site that has images you could use for scenario startup (dont know how applicable they are since I know nothing about Robotech): http://www.robotech.com/gallery/galimage/viewcategory.php?categoryid=2

(And, for myself: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/ )
 
I've got 100's of Robotech images at home, but I can't decide which one to use :). Thanks! And by all means show your rocket launcher guys....
 
Hmm, I dunno if these might help at all, but I found them on my harddrive. It's units I converted from different sites some time ago.

The might need some resizing or whatever. :D

Actually, only crappy units that I tried to conert from this site:
http://www.3dmecha.com/

Since I don' have any advanced programs, nor have any in particular knowledges on the subjects, they look, as previously stated, crappy. :rolleyes:

The shield they're using is for the RDF though, I will have a go at the REF shield later on. ;)

Well, Gelion, these are the Missile Men I was talking about. The first one is ready to go as is, but is the lowest quality, IMO. When I first saw your request, I immediately thought of the second one, but forgot they were holding rifles, not missile launchers. The third is of very high quality, but would require the most work to get it era-compliant.

The middle unit should be modified, in my opinion. Though I'm not the man to do it. Will post the sheilds soon.
 
The last unit looks great, but needs a lot of work. So i say it would be great if you can work on the second.

JBK the civilians look great! (sorry I missed this thread) please carry on with your work!

Arthedain thank you for more units. I try to pick some I could use...
