That mouth-gun sounds cool

And I don't think that the hands need to be thicker - just the arms... if that's not too much of a trouble

Nah, Arms will be easy (just need to de-select the "Scaling" option in the linking menu for the arm joints, otherwise when I change the X/Z scale on one, all the ones that are linked to that one will also change by the sam amount, and I don't really need that happening)

I'm giving this guy 4 attacks (well, actually 1 will be defend): Attack 1 will either be the Mouth Kannon or Rokkit Launcha, Attack 2 will be whicever one is not used in attack 1, Attack 3 will be the Hand-lazer thingies, and the Defend animation will be the whole thing revving up, ramming with the spikey thing on front and flailing away witht the claws on the hand.

Victory animation MAY involve some semi-obscene gesturing......

Lovely

@ aaglo: cheers

Hey, I noticed you also added the imperial guard list of units to the post #1 - which is cool

In that same first post, you could also add links to the linked lists for ork units post (#135) and space marine units post (#???).

 

[LMR]

Yep. I'll do that tomorrow, i'm on my way out now. I'll put them in individual spoilers so they dont take up huge amounts of space

 

[aaglo]

That sounds great.

How about this for A Kroozer for orks ?

some of the links are not correct there...

Correct link for Hellhound: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=172755

I don't know what were you suggesting for a sniper, but I'm pretty sure it ain't the orgyn

I also didn't see the demolisher in the set of 8 leman russ-tanks. Is it there?

Muffins also made a manticore (rocket battery) - should we have that for the IG instead of Griphon?

 

[Stormrage]

Oh boy.. that Kroozer is awesome! Yay aaglo!

 

[LMR]

Awesome!

Yeah, i did kinda rush the IG, so i'll go back and change the links. thanks

 

[LMR]

Oh, and the demolisher isnt there perse. I was going to use the first Leman Russ as the Leman Russ and the first variant (the second tank in the post) as the Demolisher. I know it hasnt got a proper Demolisher cannon, but it has a dozer blade

 

[aaglo]

Okay, that demolisher-idea is fine for me.

How about that manticore, who's going to get that?


Here's an updated preview of the Kroozer.
- added twin-linked big shootaz on both sides of the ship to keep the squishy boats afar.

And a preview of a BattleKroozer.


All suggestions are taken into consideration, and rejected
For example, are the "wing-mounted" big shootaz just plain stupid, and should I replace them with something else.

 

[Stormrage]

Huh.. it kinda looks like a shark Its pretty neat, tho you migh wanna save that design for the Tau

 

[LMR]

These are some of the Tau Battlefleet Gothic ships: a battleship, cruiser and merchant class ship

And that is the Ork Kroozer from the same site

I reckon it looks great, and i do like the "wings" and their shootas. i do notice, however, the absence of a big gun, or am i just not seeing it?

 

[aaglo]

Well... uh.
it's just that I thought originally of adding such a big gun... but since the construction of that thing is what it is, there's not much room for a big gun.

Unless I move the "headshield" up, and replace the twin-cannons with a sort of BFG9000. Yeah, I'll propably do just that

 

[LMR]

You could put a kannon above the head (in front of the towers) or have a kannon in its mouth, and have the mouth open more, the kannon move forwards and then fire!

And have a grot fall out of a window...

 

[aaglo]

The mouth was already going to be opening in the animations... Here's an updated preview for the battlekroozer - the big gun looks like fun

For the battlekroozer, I'm thinking of 2 different attack animations:
- A would be the BFG9000
- B would be the mouth-gun and wing-guns

I'm thinking about not adding an attack anim for the twin-linked bigshootaz in the top-sides of the ship.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

OK, I think I have the base model pretty much finished.... Now all I need to to is make a few final linking checks with the various body parts, and get 'er animated.

 

[LMR]

@Hikaro: Those arms look much better. Looks great, very Orky!

@aaglo: Guns that dont shoot? Not very Orky! That big gun would be devastating!

 

[aaglo]

@Hikaro,
Haha a mighty cigar . That looks good.

@LMR!,
Okay... AttackA = big gun & wing shootaz, AttackB = Small gun & twinlinked shootaz

 

[LMR]

Sounds good
