Chaos belongs to Denmark? But seriously great job Bwian.

Also Bwain will each Chaos faction have units with different uniforms or will there just be one set of uniforms for the Chaos factions?

[Jargon]

I can go to bed happy tonight. Great work on the map and models.

[Bwian]

Uanime5 ... have you ever BEEN to Denmark? I have. If you are querying whether or not we will have Chaos as seperate factions with unique colour schemes for each faction... well...I think this should answer your question



The plain black colours I have assigned to 'slave' to use as rebels not aligned to any of the declared factions

[Dogman55]

Wow. Friggin' ay man. They look great!

[Meneldil]

Well, quite frankly, I think they're a bit too thin. Chaos Warriors are like fantasy Space Marines. They wear huge ornemented armors, that make them literally look like robots.
Helmet, shoulder and chest armors are fine, but then they have their slim arms and legs, and somehow that look weird.

As for their colors, I think some of their are too bright. The Nurgles one especially.

The game workshop US site has some nice colours scheme, that look more realistic IMO.

I know criticizing is easier than actually modelling and texturing, but well, I had to give my opinion

[Bwian]

The thickness of limbs is relative...and I think the later versions of GW miniatures just went way too far. These are humans after all! To make the bodies thicke is possible...but then you get real issues with makign them bend smoothly. The animation distorts the mesh a lot more, and you get very poor joints. They look OK to me, and move and flex nicely. Some things you just have to live with! I am more worried how I am going to do the elite Champion type units. They MUST be bigger and chunkier than the Warriors

I can try and tone down the green easy enough, but the red I like....
Blue and purple are spot on for me as well.


and...just for fun ... I have mounted the Marauders and given them spear primary weapons:

what i meant Bwian was when i'm trying to change imperial knight( HRE) i add the texture for it it comes out a huge mess. BTW im using milkshape.

[alexader]

bwian,these lads are awesome(from my point,i didn't like little those how hadn't had helmet,not because i want everyone to have a helmet but for the reason that the head are the same,also i think it's good to make a little difference on the horns)but it is still awesome,i can't wait.keep it up..

Sorry to disagree but they're not actually, the fluff says that their armour is fused to their bodies and cant be removed, sortof an exoskeleton if you like. That'd be my main gripe with these guys, they look too much like normal guys wearing armour. Its the helmets I think, they look a little oversized compared with the rest and faces shouldnt be visible through the visor, a black slit would be much more menacing.

[Eufarius]

true they do look thin maybe making them buffer will help?

[uanime5]

Uanime5 ... have you ever BEEN to Denmark? I have.

I mentioned Denmark because one of the Chaos soldiers is carrying the Danish banner.

[Bwian]

yeah ..I am using that faction for one of the Chaos factions ... seemed to fit Copenhagen is a pretty chaotic crazy place. The others are slotted into Hungary, Sicily and Milan ... for no reason at all.

[DrZoidberg]

I only have one comment...or two. 1) is that I think Slaaneesh chaos warriors should have bright pink armour and not purple. It's a matter of taste. 2), great work. These are fucking awesome. This mod will kick so much ass. Good work.

[Bwian]

Bright Pink!! You got to be kidding me Blue, Purple and pink are the colours favoured by the warriors of Slaanesh... but I would use pink more as a highlight or a colour on a banner....not on the armour...... please....not on the armour ;)

[Casuir]

Looking at the texure you sent me bwian it looks like the guys in the screenshots are wearing mipmaps, you at the highest level of detail you can get? Not really doing your work justice there.

[Spankfurt]

I agree with zoid on the kick ass part, but i think the should just be a brighter shade of purple. I don't want to critisize too much but i think the chain-mail arms look a little unrealistic on some of them, and their faces too normal looking. I also think the nurgle armour should have stains of some kind on them or kind of mutilated.

The positives BY FAR outweigh the minor things, keep up the amazing work
