Unit Discussion/Previews

[LMR]

Thanks aaglo

what's next?

 

[aaglo]

You're welcome

I think I'll start to work on the battle wagon, looted basilisk & looted chimera next. And maybe an outrider after that... who knows the order of things yet

 

[Stormrage]

Wooo! Looted stuff

 

[odintheking]

Aaglo, you beast!

 

[aaglo]

Here's a preview of the Looted Basilisk - I think it's pretty close to the IG-basilisk made by muffins.
I'm thinking about adding some accessories to the back of the vehicle (on the "shell storage platform") - like shells & boxes, but no orks this time.

What do you think? Do we need more orkiness here?

 

[odintheking]

Looks just like muffin's. But I would add some spiky bitz to it.

 

[LMR]

Looks great! a few spikes would also look good tho

 

[aaglo]

Somehow, I associate spikes with chaos. Or do you mean the "metal-plates-cut-to-look-like-teeth" -spikes? Hmm... where could I put those in there?

A dozer-blade? On top of the gun-shield?
I'm thinking about adding also a secondary attack (which will use the hull-mounted shoota)... since I assume that the artillery units in this mod will also have defence values. I think artillery units should not have attack value, since it could screw up AI - altough I'm not sure about that.

 

[LMR]

Perhaps some checks around the end of the barrel? And some armour plates?

 

[aaglo]

- Chequers around the end of the barrel? Hmm... that would be silly - and yet quite orky. I'll try that.
- Armour plates? I actually thought of adding some armour around the rear platform... or did you mean some other vaguely strange place? I also think that a dozer blade in front would increase orky-points here too, like this (no, I think I'll skip on making the battle damage presented in this pic):

I just had a horrible realization:

After I've done the looted basilisk & chimera, someone will eventually remember that we have virtually no chaos vehicles around...

 

[LMR]

Oh no! Perhaps you'll have to do something about that!

The dozer blade looks good on that. and i meant just a thin band of checks, not thick like the ones down the sides. just enough to add some more orkiness to it!

 

[aaglo]

Updated preview of the looted basilisk.
I'm not sure if anything is needed in the rear platform - It might become too cluttered... or maybe that would be a good thing

 

[Stormrage]

Looks great! Very orky Very Waagh-ish

 

[aaglo]

Here's a quick preview of the looted chimera (I tried to make it pretty close to muffin's chimera).

Now, all it needs is a bit more of that orky stuff.

Should those weapons be flamethrowers or shootas?

 

[LMR]

I'd make'm shootas.

Both look awesome!

 

[Stormrage]

Shootas please

 

[aaglo]

Slightly edited looted chimera.

What do you think of the colour scheme? Is that ok for orks too?

 

[LMR]

Some more red wouldn't go astray. but, no, the colour looks good

Love that Ork head poking out the hatch, btw (that is a ork head right? )

 

[aaglo]

Here are some latest previews of both looted vehicles.

Chimera:
I added some red to the tread armours in the front to the chimera. And yep, it's an ork in the hatch - I removed the helmet so it shows more green

Basilisk:
I added some spikes & shells in the rear platform. Also, there are tiny changes in the camo-pattern.

 

[LMR]

Simply awesome!
