Unit Discussion/Previews

[aaglo]

That's amazing
Now, please could you do the same things for all the units we might be needing

I thought that should do well for a librarian. What ever would reduce the workload, I'll favour it

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Thats the only pic of a decimator i've been able to find, and its an epic scale model. Since there isnt an official model for it, just about any superheavy WH40K-esque tank should do, provided it has spikes and chaos stars

Looking good aaglo i've been thinking of ways to differentiate the two ships but havent come up with anything really...

Oh yeah, It would be SO easy for me to turn the tesla tank into a Decimator... I can add spikes easy enough, and If I could see what the Chaos Star looks like, I could merely replace the Russian stars on the front and fuel tanks with that....

...Well, plus make it bigger and redder.....

Here's the chaos logo I used in my chaos barge. But the one posted by quinzy might work better in unit-size

@ Hikaro: That's great! Thanks

@ aaglo: the only problem about using the marine captain as a librarian is, although the omega symbol can be removed from the shoulder pad quite easily, the symbol on the banner will be a lot harder to remove

 

[aaglo]

Darn... maybe I should try and see what I can do about that symbol. I think it could be disappeared/blended to the golden eagle around it, but I don't know how hard would that be.

About the space marine ships.
I think I'll do both completely-civ-coloured and partially-civ-coloured versions of the strike cruiser & marine battleship. The thing is, that darker colours look good on the fully civ-coloured versions, but lighter civ-colours look a bit crappy... like they're having some sort of inner glow - so if some space marines are having lighter civ-colours, they're ships won't be looking too stupid

 

[LMR]

Sounds good

The colours will probably be:
*Ultramarines = Blue
*Black Templars = Black
*Space Wolves = Grey
*Dark Angels = Dark Green
*Blood Angels = Red

 

[aaglo]

Okay.. IIRC, the red colour was not very good with the civ-coloured hull. So, they'll be having ships with less civ-colouring then

And about the ultramarine's captain. If I can manage to scratch the ultramarine's logo from the flag, I'll send the files to you so you can remove the logo from the shoulderpad & make it civ-coloured
... right...
If/when I manage to make some sort of space-marine model for pov-ray, it might become easier to make fresh librarians.
And have that captain as an ultramarine UU

 

[LMR]

Good plan

The captain can be a Tyranid Hunter or something

 

[aaglo]

To say the truth, I'm a bit scared of what plans you have to trick me into doing a crapload of marines for the mod...

 

[LMR]

Me? I have no plans to trick you into anything

 

[Virote_Considon]

Wouldn't it be better to give the Space Wolves the Light Blue colour? Or perhaps that Green colour Rhye made for his mod? (the one Greece uses)

 

[aaglo]

Five ships for space marines:

Cheers aaglo

Good point VC, then the Daemonhunters could have grey, which would mean that the recolourings ive been doing are for nothing

Unless there is a better candidate for grey?

While we are on colours, do you think we should do what the WH mod does and have one colour for each faction, or should we do it like the epic game and have a primary and secondary colour?

 

[Quinzy]

One colour for each faction. We don't want pink Nurgle Marines running around. Well, I don't anyways

 

[aaglo]

I'd suggest 1 civ-colour per faction too. But I wouldn't mind nurgle marines being pink


BTW, here's a preview of the traitor chimera.

 

[aaglo]

Here's a preview of a traitor basilisk.

 

[Quinzy]

Both of those are amazing! :O Top notch Aaglo! Maybe rust them up a tad around the nook and crannies?

 

[LMR]

Excellent and excellent

My main reason for thinking about the primary and secondary colours is that there are a lot of factions that have the same colour

for example: the Blood Angels, World Eaters, Evil Sunz and Saim-Hann are all red. so that means we either need four shades of red (i think there are currently two) or some of them miss out on red

 

[aaglo]

Around the what and who?
