Unit Discussion/Previews

Ok, good :)

And how about this for the Lost and the Damned Decimator? Or is it not Chaosy enough?

And while we are on chaos, do you think you could alter the looted basilisk and chimera, replacing the red with black and the ork glyphs with the chaos star? the basilisk would be the earthshaker the chimera will be the traitor chimera
 
I also once thought about that. but not for chaos. For orks. But now I think there's no proper place for that. But I'm not sure if it looks "chaosy" enough. Maybe it does :) - I think it's up to you.

And yep, I was thinking about converting the basilisk & chimera to chaos versions. It would be silly not to do so :)
Maybe for chaos version, I'll put the dozerblade on chimera and remove it from the basilisk.

Also, are there other vehicles with that chimera/basilisk -chassis useful for chaos? (bombard, scout salamander, other...?)

With small changes I could change the treadshape and chassis to resemble the razorback & the likes of that. Or what do you think ;)
 
Well, let's see ;)

Lost and the Damned need these vehicles:
* Chimera
* Hellhound (based on chimera, but with flamer and fuel tanks, which mine doesnt have, so if you wanted to do an imperial guard version too :mischief:)
* Traitor Armour (probably would be a leman russ, something like hikaro's looted russ, except chaosy. im being to like that word :))
* Earthshaker
* Hydra
* Decimator (a bigger tank, probably based off a baneblade or another super heavy tank)

For other units, i thought Mosca's "zombie with gun" and plot's "monster zombie" could be used for the mutant and big mutant respectively, and the sith master/chaos sorceror as the rogue psyker

EDIT: and yes, switching the dozer blade to the chimera would be cool
 
Hydra uses chimera chassis, right? Right :) Okay, I'll mock up some sort of to-do list, when I get back home.

And I'll also try to model some sort of spacemarinebattleship. Right... :rolleyes:

Will I ever learn to keep my mouth shut - and fingers in check :lol:
 
About the Decimator... What for weapons does it have? I still have Muffins' Shadow Sword model, as well as the Tesla Tank that I did.... If it's weaponry is anything like the Devastator from Dune 2000, then I may be able to just re-color my Tesla Tank, increase the size and add some spikey bits to it.....
 
I can't help you with it Hikaro, so don't be offended for the lack of response from my part :)

BTW, nice vid that high tech noon :thumbsup:
And I also notice, that you've added your blimp pilot costume pic as your avatar :lol:

On to previews:
Here's a new way of looking these space-marine ships. Now they have two differently coloured civ-coloured areas... I don't know how to explain it, except with a picture.
Here's also a preview of a marine battleship. I think I have to add two of those round gunlike things in the front of that one. And some sort of front bridge in the ... front. Haha :rolleyes: :p

Mind you, that both of these ships fire from the broadside. Strike cruiser has 3 big guns, Marine Battleship has 6.

Nice ships Aaglo, but besides the size, they look quite similar, isn't there something you can do to distuingish them just a bit? :)
 
Looking at those pics, it seems the big one has different proportions than the little one. On the big one the difference between the back width and the long middle-thing width is bigger than on the small ship.

If you understand what I mean. :crazyeye:
 
The bigger ship already has a bigger length/width -ratio than the smaller cruiser. If that's what you mean... but those ratio's can always be changed though :)

But,
here's a preview of the grey knight's ship... I yet don't know wether it should be a cruiser-class or a battleship-class, so the size is not yet decided.

Thats the only pic of a decimator i've been able to find, and its an epic scale model. Since there isnt an official model for it, just about any superheavy WH40K-esque tank should do, provided it has spikes and chaos stars :)

Looking good aaglo :thumbsup: i've been thinking of ways to differentiate the two ships but havent come up with anything really...
 
[snip]... i've been thinking of ways to differentiate the two ships but havent come up with anything really...

You mean the strike cruiser and marine battleship? Well, I suppose I could make the long thin mid-section a bit thinner. And I've already added a front "bridge" and some other miscellaneous things in there around and about... :)

Any suggestions on the Gray knight cruiser colourings?
 
Okay.
Here's next question:
are any of these usable in this mod?

I know they're ultramarines, but so what? I think they'd work well after some c'n'p:ing (like scrubbing off the ultramarine-logo from the shoulderpads).

EDIT: bah, they aren't civ-coloured... they'd need hideous amounts of palette-editing I suppose. darn.
 
The heavy bolter marine and assault marine are already in :)

The recolouring was quite simple really: i just loaded a palette with blue as the civcolour into each storyboard, so the blue became civcoloured. i also removed the ultramarines symbol off the shoulders

check out this post ;): http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=4224873&postcount=39

another question: that marine captain, the one with the banner. would that do for a librarian? or do you think a new one should be made?
