Unit Discussion/Previews

[LMR]

I am reading the first post list and some things are confusing me:
Why don`t the SW devastators use missiles?
And how come only DA devastators use Plasma Cannons?

I`d suggest that Templar infantry have an extra HP since they are by far the most numerous chapter, and their squads can number up to 20 marines instead of 10.

I agree about the DA Dread, atleast its really unique, like the Furioso is.

There are two devastator units per SM faction: Heavy Bolter Devastator at Tactics and Missile Devastators at Support.

Now, saying that, im not sure why Gold made the SW not have Missile Devs, but i presume the plasma cannon was, as Quinzy said, to add some variation betweens the SMs

And a Mortis Dread would be cool

 

[aaglo]

Furioso is done (I'll post them all in a bunch).
Then I'll make a ven dred.
And I'll also see if I can make anything reasonable as the mortis dred... with twin-linked lascannons (because I think the las effects look pretty ).

 

[Stormrage]

Lascannons sound good A great find there with the Mortis Dread, aaglo!

 

[aaglo]

This looks pretty good

Should the body be civ-coloured, or would you like to see it in deathwing-colours (the light beige sort of ... like the deathwing terminator modified by Lizzy)?

Also, other suggestions about this unit are welcome - like, if those barrels are too long or something

 

[Stormrage]

Deathwing colors would be nice. The barrels are fine.

 

[Dark Crusader]

Looks great! I think Deathwing colors.

 

[LMR]

Looking good! I seem to remember seeing a Deathwing Dreadnought somewhere, so that beige colour would be fine

 

[aaglo]

Ok, how's this colour - I mean, is this too light/dark?
BTW, what were you thinking for the dark angels civ-colour? Dark green?

 

[Stormrage]

Yeah, Dark Green. Looks great, buddy!

 

[Dark Crusader]

Very cool. I that a marbling texture/effect you are using?

 

[LMR]

That's great! Colour looks like a good match too

 

[aaglo]

Very cool. Is that a marbling texture/effect you are using?

To create the weathered surface? Yes, it's a sort of marbling texture.

 

[Dark Crusader]

To create the weathered surface? Yes, it's a sort of marbling texture.

Nice touch. It's those little touches that really make your units stand out(imo).

 

[aaglo]

Just checked what the deathwing dread would look like in "realistic ligthing". I like it

 

[Kyriakos]

Are you going to post the model at turbosquid and charge a ton of ca$h for it?

 

[Dark Crusader]

This just confirms that you have to be a robot.....

 

[Virote_Considon]

As a Dark Angels kinda guy, I gotta love this unit

 

[aaglo]

Hey you, the person with the power (whoever that might be) - should I do other space marine dreads, or should I switch on making chaos dreads?

About the chaos dreads:
Oh boy, they're dreadful to make, with all the creepy-looking details and all that jazz... Also, should I make just one generic chaos dread - or should I be dreadingly asking wether you want a specific dread for all five chaos forces? Uhhh.... I am really intimidated by the nurgle chaos marines - that organic puss&tentacle-stuff is far from fun to model.

EDIT: three dreads have been posted: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=262630

 

[Stormrage]

As a part of the Unity with the power, I think that SM dreads are finished, and that you should start with the CSM dread (if that is easier for you, to just chaotify the SM dread). I think they should have a generic one, but again, I have to point out the Civ-coloring.

 

[aaglo]

That they need to be civ-coloured? Of course. Or what did you mean...?
