Unit Discussion/Previews

[tom2050]

@tom: That looks great! only problem i have is that the flames shouldnt be causing shadows but thats not a biggy.

Agreed about fire shadows.

what factions are in DoW2? it might be best to convert units that i dont already have a model for, or that i've found too difficult

Has Eldars, Chaos Marines, Orks, Space Marines, Tyranids, and probably a few other units such as a single Imperial Guard unit and heavy bolter structure.


@Nick: Not sure if DoW units are possible or not; I believe they are though.

Need anything as such? Was the Imperial Heavy Bolter from DoW2.

I haven't actually made the unit, just rendered the Landing. It doesn't have a 'run' animation since it is a structure in the game. It's possible to make a unit pick it up and carry it but that would take quite some time to do. It does have the landing animation as shown, so could be used as an immobile defensive unit that can be airdropped from an airport to be deployed, or transported via airbase or airfield, etc.

If you need it, let me know what types of attacks you want. I can make with machinegun fire, single bolt fire (like a tank cannon), laser fire, etc... each with different FLC.

Where is the mod at anyway? Is there other work that needs doing, other than units? I'm keen to get involved with this project, though my civ time is pretty limited these days and my graphics skills are a bit limited too.

If memory serves, I think it was at a very early alpha testing phase.

I've played 40K a bit (Ultramarines) but I'm a bit of a newb at it.

Bah! Imperial fools! A bunch of fruits worshiping a vegetable. Death to the false emperor!

Spoiler :

I only have a single Black Legion squad and an Iron Warriors (hopefully) Defiler that I'm still assembling to be honest...

DoW 1 has even more races...

* Chaos Space Marines
* Eldar
* Imperial Guard
* Necron.
* Orks
* Space Marines
* Tau
* Dark Eldar
* Sisters of Battle

The Tyranids are the only new race in DoW 2 I believe.

Tom, that gun turret thing is very nice but I think muffins already did something very similar. His tarantula is basically the same.

Tank Guy, yeah good point. Chaos is cooler, but I always go for the good guys somehow in this kinda thing. Plus I like blue.

Cheers,

Nick

Did you look into the Thousand Sons? Anyway, I chose Chaos because the majority of the people in my area play the Imperial Guard. They stuck with the everyday Imperial Guard units as opposed to Space Marines, which I thought was rather interesting.

As soon as I finish my defiler I will most certainly do so.

I may even buy a few Ork bits to decorate it first. Parts of a killa kan, head of an ork warboss, maybe a few shoota boys underneath the feet....

 

[LMR]

Why you little...

I've looked through this list of DoW2 units and can suggest that the following would be great:

Chaos:
- horrors
- raptor (have a placeholder but a new unit would be good)
- possessed
- lord
- sorcerer
- heretic (if appropriate)
- cultist

Dark Eldar:
- everything

Eldar:
- most of these (except falcon and fire prism)

i have models for dire avengers, fire warriors, howling banshees and dark reaper (i think) but feel free to convert these too

don't feel obliged or pressured to do any of these, but i will certainly be very grateful for any that you choose to do

 

[aaglo]

Lizzy, that's a list of DoW-units not DoW2-units...
Dow2 do not have dark eldar

 

[LMR]

So it is

Damn

EDIT: ok, had a look the actual DoW2 site, and the all of the eldar units in the multiplayer list minus the falcon and fire prism would be nice

 

[Goldflash]

HAY GUISE WORKAN HARD?

You got my mod finished yet?

 

[LMR]

Very hard mate! Good to see you

Finished? Not quite. Slowly but surely

 

[Goldflash]

You're not done? What am I paying you guys for, then?

 

[aaglo]

The same we're giving to you in return.

 

[Supa]

I didn't know this project was still going on. I'm glad it is.

 

[LMR]

Ok, Inquisitor's up

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Looks good!

Before I start studying for my last exam, here's a bunch of women

 

[Virote_Considon]

Does anyone know of any good Eldar/DEldar models? I may give something a try, when time permits.

 

[Takhisis]

Do you mean Eldar as in LotR Elves?

 

[Virote_Considon]

No, I mean Eldar as in Warhammer 40,000 Eldar.
