Eye Candy continues

Since the other screenshot thread was getting a bit big...I have started a fresh one



Not done the proper textures yet, but this gives an idea of how the Ork troops are going to look. This is thte 'basic' version. I will have to make a few minor adjustments to the model to get it to animate smoothly ... there is some unsighlty distortion around the thigh bones which I want to cure.

Also...the hands were convertions of stock MTW2 ones...and I need to adjust the finger grip for the weapon hand... it's not right! All easy enough.

The thing has a brand new skeleton, with the arms elongated and hte legs bowed slightly out. The shoulders are also wider. The head bone pivots forward and down, so the neck can jut out like an orcs should and still pivot correctly. Texture work will continue tonight!

Nice, reminds me of the Dawn of War orks, which is a good thing.

The Warhammer 40K version of the Ork is just about identical to the look the later Warhammer Orks had ( or at least the ones I liked!! ). They were bigger and brawnier. The sourcebooks seem to lean towards that view in all the pictures, so I went with that. It was also easier to find pictures of 40K Ork heads that were not helmetted .... I wanted a bare-headed start point! The source material also pretty clear on the muscular nature of Orcs...so I have gone for BIG arms! Not sure about the hair/crest being proper for Warhammer, but I loved that look in 40K

Big muscles ... small brains....that's Orks!

Nice Orcs!
You probably already looked at this picture but if you look towards the back of the regiment there is one with the hair on top. Personally I hope you give them those silly leather caps the one in the front corner has.

Gorgeous. I love that all the time I'm invested in writing their unit descriptions, feels so frikkin well spent after seeing these. I think I'll re-write them that give them justice. The ones I wrote where quite short.

It is, quite simply, ridiculous how well the mod is going. Considering it's only a few folk working on it, it's already looking better than Mark of Chaos and their legions of artists and modellers!

I wonder if those lovable Squigs will make an appearance? And seeing as how they were so much fun in Dawn of War, it would be CRIMINAL not to have voice actors for the greenskins, they've just got so much character even without textures!
