I think that Pre- and Post-Heresy stuff should look completely the same, but the Pre-Heresy stuff has no paint.

 

[Quinzy]

The older sponsons look more awesome

 

[Stormrage]

New sponsons!
There`s a good chance the Hurricane Bolters won`t be firing when you exit the side-door! (so don`t go pissing off the Machine Spirit)

Yeah, I too like the old ones better

I'm not sure what you mean by that...

@Stormy & Quinzy,
by you saying "older sponsons look better" (or something like that), I suppose you mean the "pre-heresy style sponsons" (and not the sponsons I previewed earlier with the landraider crusader...)

 

[Stormrage]

(pre)Heresy Era ones in my case (but only for Chaos, should you ever choose to give each SM chapter their pimped out vesions of... everything ). Meh, even I got confused. The one you made is good for me. There.

BTW, that Crusader in post #660 only has a pair of twin-linked bolters. Shouldn`t there be 3 of them?

 

[aaglo]

Somehow, recently I've gotten the feeling of impending doom... and the fact that such things to be made (those pimped-out versions) are no for me to choose, but rather something... or someone else.

 

[Stormrage]

And we haven`t even started with the other xenos yet

 

[Virote_Considon]

I'm not sure what you mean by that...

It's the first thing which came to mind when I saw the images of the (painted) post-Heresy tank and the (unpainted) Pre-Heresy one.

 

[aaglo]

Here's a comparison preview between the landraider crusader & chaos landraider.

Any suggestions to make them look more different from each other? Or do you think these are ok?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Land Raider Crusader should be mostly Civ-coloured, I think.

 

[Stormrage]

Yeah, so each Chaos Legion can have its own. But he already made a Black Legion Predator for all of Chaos.. (then again.. its in the spirit of the new codex...)

Dammit, no one noticed before!

Aaglo, as far as the Black Templars and the Black Legion go, they look great, and they shouldn`t look very different seeing as they are both.. well.. black.

 

[Dark Crusader]

Aalgo, I think that they are different enough. Short of you putting a flag or Huge Chaos sign on it. After all they are supposed to be similar. Maybe some rust and deteriation on the chaos one, but I don't think that would really show at civ scale. The choice is obviously yours, being the great Fabricator-General. Personaly though I think to much civ color comes off too cartoony. However thats just my two cents worth (less actually) .

 

[Quinzy]

Black templars also employ some level of white, so perhaps one or two sections of plating in white to help distinguish?

 

[aaglo]

So, stormy would like to see some of these then too I suppose?

EDIT: no, I would not mind doing these too. But every other person here at Civ3 C&C-community would rip off their hair for me over-flooding the forums with WH40k-stuff

 

[aaglo]

In case you didn't know, those are the chaos predator & vindicator with different colour schemes. Yep - I can also under-estimate you guys

 

[LMR]

Surely no one would mind if you posted them in the same thread as the non-civ-coloured ones?

If you want to make the landraiders more different, maybe get rid of the skull thingy on top of the chaos star and increase the size of the star and make it gold or something?

 

[Stormrage]

Oh, man... I love you. I really do! Bless ye kind heart, sonny

So, can you do the Landraider in civ-color also?

 

[aaglo]

I know, it's easy to want everything.

 

[Kyriakos]

Looks great

I am in no way versed in WH40K, but i have been watching some of the pics and was wondering if there will be a Titan unit. Now that would be even more impressive

 

[Quinzy]

Titans have already been built, and I doubt that they'd be in the mod given their colossal size.
