Unit Preview - Baneblade Super-Heavy Tank

[muffins]

I've got a cool red-flame texture ear-marked for an Ork 'looted' version of the Baneblade

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Now your speaking my language!

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Any version of this unit planned to have the same color scheme as your Reaver Muffins? I think a Red Tank would look cool. Possible Name: Bloodsword

And would be spilling plenty of it (or at least blowing things up ).

BTW: The textures look absolutely wonderful, and I really don't care if all of the drums are civ-specific, I'll still be blowing things to bits with it...

I think running all three in the standard kind of forest-like paintjob would look pretty good. From what I've seen of the paintjobs on the WH40k site though, I have to say Cadian 301st is my absolute favorite of all their standard paintjobs. They'd look pretty badass in that I think.

You're a vehicle god, BTW

Firstly - sorry about the size of the attached gif animation Animation Shop doesn't let you decrease the colour depth for some reason (strange considering it does gifs)

Preview of the Run, Default, Fidget, Fortify, Attack1 and Attack 2 animations

I might have the laser-flashes hang around for another frame each

If you think that the suspension effects look cool, you haven't seen the side veiw yet

 

[Symphony D.]

Hot damn. I like the chained firing sequences. The hatches closing down before firing is an excellent touch too.

 

[unscratchedfoot]

muffins, that is so delectably cool!! Like dude, that is the coolest unit ever made for the game!


PS: please please please DON'T make those hello kitty thingys someone posted above.

 

[Ozymandias]

Beautiful! I'd indeed try letting the flashes hang around for another frame or two.

Below is just the skeleton test for the Ork Looted Baneblade ... it took several attempts before I had everything attached correctly

I've removed the side turrets and sponsoons and replaced them with great big ammo boxes. A flexable belt of cannon shells is going to run from each box to the sides of the turret.

I've also upgraded the hull gun ... you can probably tell

I can change the colours if people want, but I have to keep it 'Orky' (ie - red and bright)

 

[Dom Pedro II]

That's uh... that's one big cannon.

 

[OmniMower]

Lookin awseom there Muffin

I would put in some green in that Orky colors

Are you movin on to the Dreadnought later on?

 

[D.Shaffer]

Red goes fasta!!

Could you put on some glyphs or checks on it though? A series of black and white checks around the hull gun would work nicely. It needs a WAAGGHH banner too.

 

[muffins]

Black and white checks, greens and glymphs will be added

Those shells are a flexible chain

 

[The Great Apple]

Are you movin on to the Dreadnought later on?

I've got the model of the ork dreadnaught pretty much finished

As for the baneblade - looks cool

 

[muffins]

Is this 'Orky' enough for people? If not I can always make the guns bigger

 

[The Great Apple]

Very nice

Love the colour scheme - are the red and black textured?

 

[Ozymandias]

It looks excellent the way it is, reminiscent (in relative dimensions) to some of the tank-mounted siege mortars of WW2.

Here's a preview of the Ork Looted baneblade in action

I'm having serious texture porblems right now (ie, I can't make the textures follow the portion of the object that they are supposed to be attached to) so I might not bother to finish this unit.

... I'm actually getting pretty sick of the whole unit creation thing and might just give up altogether

The preview looks MUCH better if you save it to your computer and open it there

 

[Antiochus VII]

It looks pretty good as is - I love the loading action. It'd be a shame to give up on this one, but if you need a break...

 

[Ozymandias]

Take a break. You've already made a fine name for yourself and your work, and your fans will be waiting.
