Unit Discussion/Previews

[kluthe]

Each race does have mostly unique units, i was referring to a truely unique unit.

most factions have "assault infantry" whether that is an assault marine, an ogryn or a stormboy or whatever, but a unique unit in this sense would mean only one faction would have that kind of unit, like the imperial guard and their vulture gunship

I know, that was also what I was referring to, most of the units in the SW Mod are truly unique

 

[aaglo]

I thought he meant by carriers a troop carrier, not an aircraft carrier...
So whichone is it?

 

[LMR]

i presumed he meant aircraft carrier, since i would call a troop carrier a transport, but now i'm not so sure...

aircraft carrier

 

[DragonBird]

I was thinking about troop carriers... But now that you mention it - Each race should get both ~ balancing the races would be hard if the mod didn't ~ Plus each race has air support. to some extent.

But the Tau excell at tech stuff, so they could have upgrades to hold more troops/aircraft.

A quick question - Are the ocean squares going to be space or what?

answer: we could do it that way, I know the star wars Mod did

 

[Stormrage]

No, this will be a random map mod, a full conversion of the Epic game. Oceans are water.

why, space looks cooler and it'd be easy to do, Just have Odin convert it from SW to WH40K

 

[Quinzy]

Random map is more fun to play, and as the units are mostly land units, space would be daft as you can't walk from planet to planet.

It's an alien terrain map, water as water, land as land.

 

[LMR]

Warhammer and 40K are primarily land based games, whereas in Star Wars as much - if not more - warfare occurs in space. it just makes more sense for a land based game to be set on a planet rather than a galaxy

true

 

[DragonBird]

Okay... Makes sense to me. (I might make myself a space/planet mod after the big one comes through)

 

[aaglo]

And what makes even more sense, is that all the ships we currently have are animated to move in water - not in space

 

[LMR]

Well that too

 

[DragonBird]

That would be a good reason... Although depending on how its animated it could be described as 'faster-than-light-engine' wake.

 

[LMR]

G'day

Yes, i'm back from my break and come bearing gifts. I have (finally) gotten around to learning poser, so here is my first attempt at a unit: a Chaos Space marine. All the blue is civ-colour, but since it is a black legion unit only i can do a version with black armour. i'm having some trouble matching the unit sound to the animation, so its not ready to post yet, but hopefully will be soon

 

[Virote_Considon]

It looks awesome!

 

[Grandraem]

Yes, it does look awesome. Great work! And great to have you back.

Now why did Stormrage disappear?

I'm going to try to summon him back...

 

[LMR]

Glad you guys like it

I've got some Black Templars and Space Wolves lined up too, so watch this space

Have the other guys been around much? Like aaglo, mrtn, odin etc?

EDIT: A preview of the Crusader and Grey Hunter

They look great! Nice to have some action in these threads.

aaglo was around a bit back when I was previewing the LHs. Same with mrtn. Odin I haven't seen in a long time. It doesn't look like my summoning of Stormrage has done much either... he's still m.i.a. as well.
