[QUOTE=Nuclear Arbitor;45076850]i'd just stick it back to the old size and leave it. it's supposed to be able to fit an enormousness amount of guardsmen in each boot and be somewhere between 235m and really, really tall.[/QUOTE]do you actually realize how huge 230 metres is
i mean shit that's almost three times the height of the Jaegers in Pacific Rim. with a scale like that we're not talking about a walking cathedral/bastion anymore, it would be a walking TOWN
do you realize how huge even [U]50 metres[/U] is? because fyi that's the 'official' size of the thing.

I suppose there's one way you can determine the size. If you go back to Dawn of War - Winter Assault's campaign, where they tried to recover an Imperator Titan, there was one map of which was almost entirely made up of the titan laying on its back. You could perhaps make some comparisons to the parts of the Titan shown there to the units in the game.

However, it would be a pretty rough approximation, as the unit models in Dawn of War 1 aren't exactly to scale, with Tactical Marines being larger than the tanks they drive. But I suppose you could always download the Firestorm of Kronus mod for DC and find the map there. That mod has more accurate unit scales.
the Titan in that map was blown completely out of proportion for gameplay purposes so i'm not even considering it
They reused that Hellstorm cannon in Dark Crusade. That makes it kind of official size for DoW series.
DoW is a very bad indication of anything though. Because everything there is pretty shit at sizes. Guardsmen are almost the same size as SMs and Eldar, Orks are tiny, vehicles are all way too small etc.

It's kinda a big problem with most rts cause of unit scale, which really bugs the hell out of me. Especially if units are bigger than the building's door
got sidetracked again

going to make a symmetric version that would resemble the tabletop Daemon Prince model
Why can't I rate winner more than once?

i do. gw is really bad at scale though, as well as consitency. i just did a little looking and it seems like the "official" numbers are in the 40-60m range but that's just the numbers, not art, models, etc.
the Daemon Prince project is a bust and will be canned for now because i can't rig and don't know anyone who could
going back to the Titans now
we have a daemon prince

[editline]16th June 2014[/editline]
gonna do some bodygroup magic and make a winged version
i'll also add an optional, more bestial head like the tabletop versions have, but first i need to figure out how to do that
i'm planning to release the Necrons soon btw, the ones i have anyway
God that is so cool.
Indeed, the grimdark levels are off the charts too!
you know i think i'll finish this guy before i get carried away by something else again, and release it with the Necrons to compensate for the lack of Flayed Ones and commander units like Lords or Crypteks
then i'll continue working on the other things, the Emperor still needs more texture work and the MK6 Corvus needs to be made too
in other news, i've made backups of my stuf in Viper's dropbox folder and on an external hard drive (which i thought was close to mechanical failure but turns out it was nothing) so all the progress is safe and secure
Joazzz, I will come to your house and make sweet love to you.
brb restraining order
Daemon Prince eh? I just wanna start singing the Prince song "Gonna party like its 40,000k"

i'll make it slightly larger me thinks
next i'll do some more shit with the Daemon Prince, then i'll get to the Monolith
Joazzz, You know you want to work on Daemonettes next. We both know.
You want sketchy nude things, you can go to DE or some shit.
well when i get to daemons, i'm of course going to make Daemonettes
they might have bare tits but full (frontal) nudity is out of the question
they'll have crab claw/blade arms and ugly faces. maybe even a little disfigured and malformed if i can do that. their bodies around the hips-torso area might be hot but their other features will be incredibly horrific and revulsive
[QUOTE=lonefirewarrior;45121055]You want sketchy nude things, you can go to DE or some shit.[/QUOTE]
I'm not talking about the girls with a claw arm or something, I'm talking about the crazy looking Older, good Daemonettes. You know, the ones that look like this: [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gS73xPQuz5g/TznoI16IUBI/AAAAAAAAIsY/jz_9BneB7Po/s400/Daemonettes01.jpg[/IMG]
those look more like tzeentch daemons by modern standards
working on head

Are your other titans (Emperor, Warhound etc.) in UA/planned to be added to UA?
Warhound is already in UA, the one i ported was completely unchanged from the in-game version
they currently have no plans for the bigger titans
i did however get a bunch of Ork gargants and an Eldar titan that i'm going to give better textures and then send them back to be added in-game
Can we have them too? :v:
when they're done and when they're relevant
