Seems the grey is clearly cause of age you can still see redbrown spots.

hmmm, well, if they are called the 'terracotta' army, then i expect they are made from terracotta, not china clay, and the terracotta has juat faded to white? not too sure, but i also think the white is only from age.

Hehe. I can't believe one of the biggest topics of discussion right now is what colour terracotta is.

If it convinces anybody, there are official colour codes for terracotta. They are:

Hex triplet- #E2725B
RGBB- (226, 114, 91)
CMYKH- (0, 44, 53, 11)
HSV- (10°, 70%, 62%)

Go to a page like this and enter E2725B in a box and click. That colour is, officially, terracotta.

Of course, if you're deliberately trying to go for an AGED terracotta colour, then god help us all.

Just for arguments sake

The richly coloured terracotta figures with individual facial expressions lay underground for about 2,000 years, but began to lose their lustre and turn an oxidised grey once they were exposed to air.

The Dwarf Organ Gun is animated!!! Find the file here.

 

[Duke van Frost]

Did you do this on your own?

 

[woodelf]

I used the default tank animations and the tutorial by sharick with an addendum by asioasioasio.

 

[Duke van Frost]

Cool thing, then you can even do some more animated cannons (Mortar!).

I´ll include the Organ gun in the next patch.

 

[woodelf]

Cool.

I was planning on doing the Empire Mortar soon. Are there other WH cannons? I'm not sure about the Dwarf Flame Cannon unless someone can nifview a fire attack.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

that look great woodelf

 

[woodelf]

Thanks P_L. The Empire Mortar is done, but I'm testing it.

 

[woodelf]

Here's the link to file.



P_L - what other "easy" cannons are there?

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

how about the Empires Hellblaster volley Gun, or the Empire Great Cannon. there will be pictures of them in the official website for the Empire.

 

[woodelf]

If any of you guys have the Hellblaster Gun can you take some pics for me? The only one I've found is the standard shot that doesn't show much. I'd like to see the backside if possible.

I think one of my other guns could serve as the Empire Great Cannon, but if not I'll make that later on.

 

[neener]

Don't we already have the Hellblaster? I'm absolutely positive it was in J_Period's mod. Was it deliberately scrapped to be remade or something?

 

[woodelf]

Even better neener. I didn't play the old version much so I don't know.

 

[neener]

Shame on you!

That's a shot from J_Period's first post in the old thread. If you look in the top right there's the Hellblaster Volley Gun he used. I honestly thought we'd kept it and it was being used in the new mod, but now I'm starting to wonder.

 

[Duke van Frost]

And if you have a look at the new thread, there´s also a pic from empire units with the Helblaster.
