Unit Discussion/Previews

These are Grey Knights.

They look a little different from Space Marines.

Does that matter if i recolour the space marine like i did the terminator?

 

[aaglo]

To me they look more like space marines than imperial guard...
Yep, go ahead and recolour

BTW, here's a EWIP of something I haven't done in a long time: a non-ork vehicle. Obviously, this tries to be some sort of space marine strike cruiser... but there's just something awry about it. Maybe the colouring is just way off. What colour should it be? Completely civ-coloured, eh?

 

[LMR]

There dont seem to be many textures on it, and the whole thing is a little bright and cheery for me. maybe a darker grey and a duller gold?

 

[aaglo]

I've tried a couple of variations, and this just seems to be working best. Civ-coloured hull.

Well, maybe I should also try some kind of urban camo colour for the hull too...

Leggo my lego Looks like a lego toy i once owned as a child.

Not one of your better creation. If I were you, the infallible unit maker, would listen to a guy named, CartesianFart, and make a unit of historical importants instead of a silly fantasy one.

Uh, if you're not interested in anything fantasy, why the hell are you posting in a silly fantasy forum?

I might not be interested in fantasy related areas, but i do feel that i have an obligation of enlightening our Great unit-maker that making units of historical importants is more rewarding and intellectual than childish chimeras.

 

[odintheking]

Well, I apologize, but this isn't the "enlighten Aaglo thread" it's the WH40K Unit Creation thread.

You are entitled to your opinion. However:
Making historical units is not so rewarding for me for a couple of reasons.
- I find them a bit boring compared to fantasy & sci-fi.
- by making fantasy/sci-fi units, I can go berserk.
- there are many times more units available for real world scenarios, when compared to fantastic units to fantasy or sci-fi scenarios.
- Believe me, historical units and intellectuality really don't go hand-in-hand the way you imagine (in the way you seem to believe that sci-fi units and intellectuality do not go hand in hand).
- I'm here to have fun. And people complaining about me not making historical units ceased to be fun a long time ago (could you believe it, you're not the first one to do so). So please - just stop. It's not going to help your cause in any way. I'll start making some historical units again, when I feel fit to do so.

 

[LMR]

That kind of thing is why we had a private forum in the first place

Civ-colouring looks good

Should i recolour the Dreadnaught and Rhino for the Daemon Hunters, or should new models be made with Inquisition symbols on them and stuff?

Or i could have a go at adding them

 

[aaglo]

I think the recolouring should be enough... unless you want to add some symbols to them.

 

[LMR]

well, i looked at the GW sites, and there arent any special daemonhunters rhinos or dreads that i could see, so i'll probably just do recolourings, for the dread anyway, since anything i add will be too small at civscale to see

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

I presume that means that the muffins ships are fine for the Imperial Guard and Witch Hunters?

EDIT: I did my old "lasgun" trick to the Industrial Legion. Whaddaya think?

That looks like some kind of crazy steampunk trooper

Actually a LOT like something outta this kind of scenario: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1m44VNw3O0

BTW, I've finally got started on the animations for the Ork Gargant... Due to the amount of vertical real-estate used by this bad boy, I'll be rendering him in at max size (240 x 240).....

 

[LMR]

That videos pretty neat!

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Yeah, someone on the Steampunk forums brought that video to my attention....

 

[LMR]

Here are some possible options for me to make into Imperial Guardsmen:

And (aaglo mentioned this i think) Spaceman Spiff after some darkening, could be used as a Havoc Lascannon for the Chaos Space Marines methinks

 

[aaglo]

I think that the best guardman would be that modern legionary by kinboat ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=104942 ). I just like the quality of that unit - and it's a nice upgrade for the industrial legionary.

And I believe your laser flash would look good on this

And Spiff with darker colours definitely would work as a CSM-unit

 

[LMR]

The only problem i see is the head, but i might be able to C'n'P a helmeted head over the top. the armour is great tho, very IG

 

[aaglo]

Oh... I didn't notice the "helmet"... if adding a proper helmet wouldn't be too hard for you, that'd be great. Or if it is, I might try some C'n'P myself. Modelling an IG head shouldn't be too hard of a task. C'n'P:ing would be the hard part I suppose...

 

[LMR]

Is that dark enough to look "Chaosy"
