Unit Discussion/Previews

I think this model is complete... with functioning disembarking ramp in the front . The only thing that bothers me with this are the proportions (lenght/height/width). It somehow seems a bit too wide - but I'm not sure. What do you think?

For the record, it might be rather simple to narrow it a bit, but I wouldn't count on that... since currently I can smell the presence of murphy's laws .

You are the lord of awesomeness...

I don`t know about the dimensions.. compare it to muffins` landraider?

 

[Quinzy]

It does seem a tad wide but... It's still amazing

 

[aaglo]

Well, this is wider than muffin's landie. But this is also completely another unit - it's older (for starters)
attached a preview of slightly narrowed landraider (about 7% narrower).

About the chaos landraider - should I model it by using the pre-heresy era landraider by forgeworld? Here's a preview of that:

That looks friggin' awesome!

Love those "braziers" (sp?) and the flame effect, and the purity seals, and that arrangement on the front is simply beautiful!

 

[Quinzy]

I think modeling it after the pre-heresy one would be awesome, as well as fitting with the nature of Chaos in using the old-reliables as well as the new and the daemonic

Aalgo,

form post 600. The stargate fighter could work for the Hell Blade couldn't it. It is only a fighter?

Or did u mean that the model is just to tiny and can't be resized?

 

[LMR]

That one is a bit small, but how about this one? http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=126693

 

[Quinzy]

Maybe someone could recolour this to be darker, as it looks a bit more like the Hell Blade?

[LMR]

Yeah, that does look more like a hell blade. a completely new unit would be even better tho

 

[aaglo]

HA-HA!
I think both of them would look ok. The glider especially looks chaosy to me.

 

[Dark Crusader]

The glider since it is bigger could work for the Hell Talons which i think are the next ones up? At least on the Forge World site.

 

[LMR]

Yep, the Hell Blade is a fighter and the Hell Talon is a bomber, at least in the mod it is

Hi guys, annihilator-modification for the chaos predator is done.

Annihilator -modification for chaos predator

 

[Quinzy]

Awesome! Maybe cut off the lasers so they don't go too far in-game? If you know what I mean.

 

[aaglo]

How nice.
Every other person wants the beams be as long as possible, and others want them to be cut before they get too far away... it's true what they say: you can never please everyone.

I bet you can do it yourself too if you really really want to

 

[Quinzy]

I didn't mean to offend And you're right, I can do it myself if I want to.

 

[aaglo]

Hey, I'm not offended. I'm just disappointed...



It's sometimes just so hard to please everyone

Okay, here's a preview of the chaos landraider, with pre-heresy style sidesponsons.

What do you think? How about the colouring on this?

 

[Stormrage]

Perfect. Thats my comment on all the things you previewed since I last posted

Here`s something I don`t know and I admitt it :

Whats the difference between the Heresy Era and normal sponsons?

 

[aaglo]

Here's the difference.

"Modern" (around and since year 40.000) landraider

Pre-heresy landraider (around & before year 30.000)

I thought of adding pre-heresy sponsons, since the chaos forces would propably use mostly older hull-models of the landraider
