Unit Discussion/Previews

[aaglo]

Well, it depends on the sounds I'm going to make. I'll try my best.

And I still haven't heard your reply on the manticore (rocket launcher made by muffins).

And what about the sooside bomma I did a long time ago for the orks (a grot with a huge grenade strapped on his back)? Should there be missile units in the mod at all?

 

[LMR]

Considering that looks like a Medusa with a small mortar, i think the Manticore would be better anyway. since it has missiles it will be a bit different from anything else the IG have.

the sooside bomma is a tough one, im not sure on that yet.

as for missiles, if we have them, they should be late game, since they would probably be pretty powerful, and in the meantime there are plenty of artillery units and aircraft that can do the job of bombarding.

 

[aaglo]

Hey,
Snakebites don't have many bombarding units - they could have that sooside bomma as a high-end "artillery" ;p ...

 

[LMR]

"We dunna have da gunz ta bang these at da oomies, so wot yooz are gonna do iz strap dem to ya backs and Waaagh! ova der, den blow up! Gottit? Roit, get goin'!"

That could work!

EDIT: They can have Sooside Bommas at Special Weapons; cheaper but less powerful than the Zzap Gun

 

[aaglo]

Heh.... now I remember (again) why it's so much more fun to make "small humanoid units" - like orks.

These rather large-structured ships take ages to model. And animate
Well, ain't I lucky. Most of the units remaining for this mod are "large-structured ships"

Hey guys, I just remembered that I forgot to put Civ coloring somewhere on that bad boy... I was thinking maybe the forearms and shoulder joints?

 

[LMR]

Yeah sounds good. It may be too late, i dunno, but so you think some rivets around the place would look good?

 

[aaglo]

put civ-colour in the forearms and the exhaust pipe cooler (they seem to be the same colour in the preview). That way, the civ-colouring will be well visible from the rear

 

[aaglo]

Ok... Orks are done

... for me...

... for now...

 

[LMR]

Thanks mate

 

[LMR]

On to the Imperium now, and we already have 7 ships for them by muffins: battleship, 2 carriers, cruiser, destroyer, advanced destroyer and a transport

My proposal:

Space Marines get aaglo's Barge, and muffins' Cruiser and Battleship
IG, WH get muffins' Imperial Transport, Advanced Destroyer and Battleship
DH get muffin's Imperial Transport, Cruiser and Battleship

Or, aaglo can make new Space Marine ships!

EDIT: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=93168

I also thought the fourth tank down, the one armed with the autocannons, would do for the Space Wolves Leman Russ Exterminator

 

[aaglo]

well, this page:
http://www.tabletopwargames.com/bfg/

has pictures of two space marine ships:

Strike craft

Rather awkwardly named ship, a "battle barge"

Plus there's this grey knights strike cruiser:

And I also found this: salamander landing craft

Those could be in line in the future...

 

[LMR]

Cool, more rather large-structured ships for you to sink your teeth into

 

[LMR]

I presume that means that the muffins ships are fine for the Imperial Guard and Witch Hunters?

EDIT: I did my old "lasgun" trick to the Industrial Legion. Whaddaya think?

 

[aaglo]

Yes. I think we can use all of the muffin's IG-ships he has done (what are there...7?).

And that Legionary with las rifle looks great what shall it be? Upgrade from conscript I suppose?

 

[LMR]

This is the basic trooper (Conscript) which then upgrades to a Guardsman.

Since most IG infantry use lasgun or laspistols (except for heavy weapons and the like, but who would trust a Conscript with them?) i gave the conscript one too

The Guardsman we have been requesting in NavyDawg's lotteries, but havent won yet

I have done some recolourings of muffins' Terminator to make a Deathwing Terminator for the Dark Angels and a Grey Knights Angel for the Daemon Hunters

 

[aaglo]

About the guardsman... what should that look like (in comparison to the conscript)? Aren't there any usable units, that can be modded with your las-attack

 

[LMR]

Well, i'll have a look. Maybe a modern American soldier would be the closest, im not sure

 

[aaglo]

Modern am soldier? made by... navydawg? Or Balou? Anyways, i believe it's going to be all right
