Unit Discussion/Previews

How does this look for a sniper? (I'm not sure about the weapon, though).

 

[aaglo]

Should he lose the goggles?
Other than that, I think it's okay (maybe the rifle should be longer, but that's not such a big deal I think).

 

[aaglo]

Here's a preview of something I started doing while waiting for PM from Goldflash: an Ork Transport. It looks still a bit silly, but orks are that way. And it's still a WIP-image. I have still some things to add, like:
- chimneys (propably small ones on all those spheres in the back or only two larger ones)
- I think I'll propably have to change the colours around, but I'll wait for your comments on that one (maybe mostly grays on this one).

Cheers!

 

[odintheking]

Needs to be more spiky and menacing, and.... orky.

Anyway, I made the gun longer and added an eyepiece instead (seeing as he's a sniper)

 

[LMR]

both of them look great guys

@ aaglo: some spikes would look good too

 

[aaglo]

@Odin,
The eyepiece looks great
But I'm not sure about the rifle - it doesn't look like a sniper rifle - altough I have absolutely no idea what do future sniper rifles look like . And I don't think that's such a big issue in the finished unit...

About the ork transport
This looks a bit better IMO. This is based a bit on an ork landa (I've seen a pic of it once)... But is the ork-head a stupid idea here?

 

[Virote_Considon]

That looks much better!

And the Ork head is good!

 

[Stormrage]

I like it! And the sniper too!

Odin? What are the chances of you beefing up the Scouts a bit? I`mean, scouts are fully grown Marines, who are huge compared to "mortals" even without their power armour.

 

[odintheking]

Okay, I'll beef up the sniper.

 

[LMR]

I like the Ork head

 

[LMR]

Any more unique units, Gold?

 

[Virote_Considon]

How about Tyrannic War Vet. for the Ultramarines?

 

[LMR]

I think that Ultramarines are supposed to be the "vanilla" Space Marines, ie. they have all the Space Marines units, while the other chapters get "Unique Units" so to speak.

but saying that, i guess they do need a unique units for themselves, right?

EDIT: The only "UU" the Ultramarines have in the tabletop game (according to the UK 40K site) is the Tyranid Hunter, which i guess is kinda the same as what you said, right?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Yup, it's the exact same thing

 

[Stormrage]

I have a question.. can Muffins` models be animated in Poser?

 

[odintheking]

Yeah, but they'd be a b*tch to rig in Poser... but I could try (eventually) because I know you hate the Vanishing Point WH40K models.

 

[Stormrage]

Maybe someone else could rig them, someone with more exp. points?

Like Unky Vuldacon or Unky Plot? Plotinus likes chalenges...

 

[odintheking]

Well, Plotinus would certainly be capable of doing it (his tutorial covered the same thing, but with clothes) but I don't know if he would want to...

 

[Stormrage]

I`ll go pull some strings, you might have noticed I`m awfull lucky with requesting stuff lately

 

[aaglo]

Haha! Do you feel lucky, punk?

Yeah, my holidays are finished - I might be able to pull something fancy for WH40K-world (I'm currently reading Gav Thorpe's Last Chancers - an omnibus of three novels and three short stories - and those boys are real badasses )
