have a piece of WiP. i know the viewport in the Achilles is supposed to be an indentation but i'll keep it the way it is

the stretching won't be so obvious after i've removed the rivets from the textures
i'll include main hull mod bodygroups for standard, Achilles, Ares and Prometheus variations
That's a pretty sexy beast, and I'm not even that keen on 40K.
Nice.

guess what guys
the fucking Land Raider just hit the fuckign "Index" limit. what the fuck are Indexes anyway? fuck Source, is there any way around this fucking bullshit?
Why not bone-merge the door guns, make them a separate body-group-able model etc.
[QUOTE=bloocobalt;46136118]Why not bone-merge the door guns, make them a separate body-group-able model etc.[/QUOTE]otherwise id consider this but im trying keep things compact - one model per vehicle type (except for LS Tempest) - so i think ill just strip unnecessary detail and polygons until i have everything within the limits
i already traded the unnecessarily detailed flamestorm cannons for slightly improved DoW2 ones and they look fine enough now. i think ill also make it so that only the front sponsons mount Meltas and twin-linked flamers, against Kartoffel's wishes. i have to cut some corners polycount-wise because i'm yet to do all the interior details, front turrets and all that

Are you going to release the land raiders as their own pack, or with a giant "I will kill all you heretics!" Vehicle pack?
all Chapter/Legion vehicles will be included in their respective Chapter/Legion downloads
there are no land raider[B][U]s[/U][/B] by the way, it's all one model with bodygroups
Oh my! That is crazy! Praise the machine god!!!:v:

I reckon dem Marines are compensating for something.
....Needs more guns.
Now all you need to do is paint this one yellow and red, slap on some angry smileys and it would fit perfectly for teh Angreh Merheens.
Holy shit how do you pull off those fancy as fuck lasers.
fuck.
Post editing.
most of the "awesome" or "amazing" or whatever shit i do is nothing but a matter of combining cold hard logic with very rudimentary artistic skill
also, almost complete info on everything regarding the project. posted this in my DA journal, might as well put it here
[quote=INFODUMP]each Chapter/Legion will have a separate set of models in their own folders, so they'll all get their Marines, Terminators, Dreadnoughts and vehicles with the appropriate liverly and colors, with the Marines and Terminators of course bearing fitting armor components; only the First Founding Chapters for example will have a full selection of Crusade/Heresy era armor suits. the default model selection for a First Founding Chapter will be as such:
MK2 armor
MK3 armor
MK4 armor
MK5 armor
MK6 armor
MK7 basic
MK7 fancy (more bling, for decorated veterans and such)
MK7 commander (EVEN MORE BLING, for Chapter Masters and Captains etc)
MK2/3/4 Apothecary
MK7 Apothecary
Chaplain
Librarian
Techmarine
Terminator Cataphractii
Terminator Tartaros
Terminator Indomitus (basic modern Terminator suit)
Terminator Chaplain (Indomitus base)
Terminator Librarian (Indomitus base)
Dreadnought (bodygroups for weapons, arms and armor details; body variants such as Siege, Ironclad, Venerable etc. can be selected with a bodygroup)
Rhino Chassis (bodygroups for all variants, like Predators and Whirlwinds)
Land Raider (wide bodygroup selection; select the chassis and the guns and extra stuff like comms equipment)
Land Speeder (bodygroups for weapons)
Land Speeder Tempest (no bodygroups, doesn't need any)
Attack Bike (no idea how i'll make that but i'll figure something out, trying to cram everything into one texture map is a tough job!)
Thunderhawk
Powerfists for both hands
all tanks and the Thunderhawk will have modeled interiors and rigged, openable doors. yes, you'll have a Land Raider where you can pop all the side doors, driver/commander hatches and the front assault ramp.
SFM animators will be delighted to find that all tanks will have skins for animated tracks for going forward at different speeds, reversing and turning
all Marines will have full IK compatibility for easier posing and animating
most Second and later Founding Chapters won't have complete MK2-MK6 armor models or Cataphractii/Tartaros Terminator armor, due to obvious reasons
jump packs can be enabled with a suitable armor Mark's backback bodygroup; the MK6 suit's jump pack is more streamlined, similar to the older Chaos Raptors design, and the Heresy-era Marines will get the large and crude-looking "beer keg" style jump packs
most armor components aren't exclusive to one model, the MK5 armor for example has a wide selection of helmets from MK3 to MK6 and some chest pieces are almost universal
some Chapters and Legions have armor bits that others don't; Raven Guard will have the MK6 helmets available in more armor suits, Iron Warriors will have better-armored chestplates, Emperor's Children are the only original Legion with access to Aquila-decorated torsos in Heresy armor models, Iron Hands get extra cybernetics, Night Lords will get bat wing helmets and Dark Angels get robes and angel motifs, wolf pelts for the Wolves, that sort of stuff. the armor will reflect the bearer's style of war. some post-Heresy Chapters will also get special treatment, for example the Minotaurs, Terra's very own pampered lapdogs, will have more Heresy-era stuff and fancy things even though they're a newer breed of Astartes
Horus Heresy vehicles and Contemptor pattern Dreadnoughts won't be available at first, i'll look into that stuff later. would love to make a Contemptor at least. however if i make a Crusade/Heresy era Land Raider for example i can say with certainty it won't be 100% accurate, but close enough
some small trinkets like Purity Seals, holsters and such will be included as separate models without army-specific coloration. a fully rigged shiny white cape will also be available so you can put it on a Captain and make it flow in the wind to show the glory of the Ultram- ++THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN CLAIMED FOR THE CHAPTER BY BROTHER-SERGEANT FASTFINGERIO STEELRAINUS++
the whole thing will be supplied in bundles, with one bundle usually featuring a Legion and a bunch of Successor Chapters; Imperial Fists will come with Black Templars and Crimson Fists for example. the nine Traitor Legions will be in one bundle, and their armors won't have visible Chaos influence because i'll do the spiky stuff later when i get to making Chaos Marines. there will also be a special bundle featuring Blood Ravens, Legion of the Damned and other notable Chapters of unclear origin. i'm not sure if i can put it all on the Steam Workshop when the time comes but i'll try!
i'm currently making the Land Raider and it's very close to done. after that i'll only have the Rhino chassis tanks and Dreadnoughts left to do. posting pics of the Thunderhawk, Land Speeders and Land Raider soon![/quote]

Also, question: Aren't Termie Apothecaries a thing? I've seen one on the box of the DW Termie Command Squad, but this [i]could[/i] be something exclusive to the DW company.

afaik they're rare, so rare that i'm not making them
Not even when you do the Grey Knights? They're a rather popular part of Paladin squads :v:

and the GK will have them because they get all the special crap anyway
[QUOTE=bloocobalt;46170836]Post editing.[/QUOTE]
I gathered that much, I was hoping for some light on the technique behind it.
But thank you for trying :smile:
i draw them, simple as that; selection tool, filling bucket, brush tool, blurring, Screen blending, several layers for the whole effect

To be honest I'm not sure why I rated your post funny, either.
[QUOTE=Alsojames;46181039]I was cracking a joke about the tabletop game, no need to get offended, mate.[/QUOTE]oh damn, one of these things. try to make it more obvious next time. and thanks for not snapping back with hostility like most people seem to do including me
