Unit Discussion/Previews

[LMR]

Well, we could use a new Ogryn and Sentinel (and Traitor Sentinel ). I wouldnt mind a Mega-Armoured Nob for the Bad Moonz either, but that isnt really necessary. A Defiler would be awesome, I havent been able to find a leman russ model to make a traitor russ so that might be good, lesser daemons, obliterators, chaos naval units, some witch hunters and daemon hunters vehicles... there's plenty of things

Should I add To-Do lists in the first post so we know what each other is doing/going to do?

 

[aaglo]

I don't think I'm going to make any more orks... I think my ork-gland exploded due overheating. Those sentinels, orgyn and traitruss could be doable. I've been playing a lot of DoW lately, so I have some ideas. But what's wrong with the current sentinel (isn't it your modification of AT-ST)? That looks quite close to the real thing, doesn't it?

You could mention something in the list about which units are "reserved to be made by mr. X or ms. Y", so people wouldn't work on same things (yeah, like that could ever happen ).

Cheers,
aaglo

 

[LMR]

Well, to me it obviously looks like a AT-ST with a recolouring and different attacks, but since we need a traitor sentinel anyway, i thought it wouldnt be too much trouble to ask

Let me know which ones you're interested in and i'll make a note. I've already added some WIP notes to the units i'm working on. There's quite a lot of stuff i'll be having a go at since i've got quite a few models and weapons for the SMs, and they can all be adapted to chaos i think

 

[aaglo]

Oh! I just noticed that you also have Sisters of Battle there too... Those are pretty hot females. With their flamers and meltas and all

You could add WIP by aaglo on
- sentinel
- traitor sentinel
- traitor lemon-ruff
- orgyn (I suppose one will do?)
- SM-chaplain (I want to try that!)

EDIT:
Could the orgyn be something like this (replacing the skin colour of course, and giving it a bigger head I suppose...) - I don't think the orgyns use any armouring.

(unit made for thorgrimm's fallout mod).

 

[LMR]

The newest ogryns have shoulder pads, more front to back than the current upper arm guard. yep, bigger head needed and maybe make it squatter, y'know more squarish. maybe some sort of beige singlet too. nitpicking now, but if you could make the gun barrel about as long as it is up to the current grip, make it a single barrel and give it an ammo drum...

I've got some sisters props and stuff for poser, but feel free to give 'em a try

 

[aaglo]

So, basically it's closer to the conversion you did Okay, I think I could work from that - and include the melee attack too

 

[aaglo]

Here's a wip of that orgyn. I'm going to add details and colours. And some chunkier armour plating. And a helmet. And spare drumclips

So, is this ok so far?

 

[LMR]

Looking great! Only thing is the gun should still have a grip, rather than him holding on to it by the butt

 

[Virote_Considon]

That is awesome!

 

[aaglo]

Yeah, I also think it should hold the ripper-gun from a grip. Which also leads to him losing the melee attack (I think). Cheers!

 

[LMR]

Well, the Bone'Ead (squad leader) has a bayonet, so thats a possibility, but would it be possible to get him to, say, fire a short burst in attackA, then fire indiscriminately from the hip side to side in attackB, then grab the gun by the barrel and use it as a club in attackC?

Also, I wouldn't worry about the helmet, but its up to you

Dont ask for much, do we?

 

[Kyriakos]

Wow, aaglo is back to making units

 

[LMR]

How does this look for a Traitor? He's the same as the Guardsman, except:
- grey armour
- chaos stars
- shotgun rather than lazgun
- rebreather

 

[aaglo]

I think it looks pretty good. With that rebreather, he looks like Doom marine

Is it possible to add spikes somewhere? Or are they solely a chaos marine trait?

 

[LMR]

Just made a quick search and saw that some traitors do indeed have spikes, but they are far more common on vehicles than infantry. When there are spikes, its usually one on the helmet, I'll give it a go and see how it looks

 

[Virote_Considon]

I like it too

 

[LMR]

Okay, i've added a helmet spike and a few spikey 'studs' to the other shoulder pad. As you can see, they are grey so they stand out from the dark armour. A colour change can be made if needed.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Colours look fine to me!

 

[LMR]

I havent looked at a rendered pic of it at civ-scale, so i may need to lighten it to make it stand out more.

Here's a battle sister. CC please. I was thinking maybe make the loincloth red or civ-coloured, or maybe making part of the bolter civ-coloured instead, incase the witchhunters dont get red or white as their colour in game

 

[aaglo]

I'd make her loincloth civ-coloured. And also somethign that's visible from behind too (if the loincloth is not visible from behind - altough who would look at her loincloth instead of her loins from behind...)
