Unit Request Thread 3

[Ozymandias]

I think there was one, but I can't find it.

AFAIK the only Starship Troopers unit made was NavyDawg's "Starship Trooper."

I have alredy requested these some time ago, but i'd give it another try. I'd like someone to make some grey aliens.. some naked and some in (power)armor.. all wielding advanced ranged weapons like railguns and plasma launchers, etc. Any chance?

There was none, ther not even a true Alien Bug out there(aside from the Human/Bug Hybrid) but the only SST unit made was "Starship Trooper" who looked pretty close to Mobile Infantry.



anyway, how about: Medieval(Plate Armor) Infantry with an Assault Rifle to anyone else?

A simple reskin(is it simple?) of the stock Guerilla would suffice

And where would I find a tutorial for making units? and I mean NEWBIE friendly tutorial? I'd like to try to make units, but these other tutorials I Read don't walk you through each and every step...

Did you guys check the Space opera mod? It had tons of nice SF units, maybe there's one in you could use. Downloads are in Post #173, btw.

Wyrm made an armored Legionary with a modern gun, this might come close to what you need.

I also tried finding Wyrm's Armored Legionary, but didn
t see, I just found Modern Legionary, Laser Legion and Industrial Legion..

if all else fails, I could take Industrial.


I'll look into Space Opera.

How about a Cold War/Modern British Para?

I'm surprised there isn't one already.

It just hasn't been posted yet. There are a few more things to do before the pack is finished and uploaded.

Well, I might have made a bit of a goof here, but - without checking your links - for some reason I had it in mind that British paras wore black berets (anyone know who does?)

I ask because I just posted a very fine - especially given its 2003 creation date - para with black beret by a chap named "dog" in the Modern Units section of the d/l db; indeed, I have the unit ID-ed as British.

C'est la guerre,

@Ozy Merry St. Patrick's Day!
The UK military has a maroon beret for the Paras and black for armored troops. Commando Green is reserved for Royal Marine Commandos and Special Boat Service. Maroon is pretty much denoted world-wide as the Paratrooper color (although my son has issue with what other countries qualify as Paratroopers).

In the US Army, maroon is also worn by Paratroopers and black used to be worn by Rangers (now everyone wears black). Rangers now wear tan berets and green for Special Forces.

I was playing El Justo's TCW and installed Gary Childress's Green Beret after changing the beret to red (easy task). The only issue being that the UK troops used a FAL battle rifle (7.62mm). I'll check out the unit you posted as I was going to also request a UK infantryman with FAL.

Thanks

Okay, I downloaded Dog and changed the beret to red. Looks nice...I'll use it! thanks

 

[Ozymandias]

Thanks for the info on the berets!

-And, as only appropriate -

I keep reading that as 'breasts'. Sorry, Cheatem.

How about some Zerg or Terran units? preferably the Zergling, Hydralisk, Ultralisk and Terran Marine

I too would very much have seen a british with that SLR. Whatever helmet or beret, but I think that uploaded kneeling soldier looks very much like he is handling a FAMAS, the French rifle. (It´s too short to think it´s a SLR(FAL) rifle IMHO)

I think Gary Childress version do look like a soldier with a SLR

However he is not wearing a beret, but a helmet

If that guy could be made into a Civ3 unit I would be very happy
A scary bloke in the streets of Derry I think.

His mate I´m sure
