We're back! Well, I am anyway.
Starting afresh, from the ground up.
I'm the only mod-maker on the team, really, I'm making all the content and tweaking all the variables.
Neddiecrow is coming up with basic tech trees and is basically my trove of info. As I hope to make this as close the 40K universe as possible, he's quite important, as he knows more universe guff than me
For now, I'm doing the Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines (mainly because the CSMs are basically SMs with a lot of spikes and bad breath, thus making them easy to make)
A close combat system is in the works
Epic Legions forum is here
Epic Legions' IRC Channel (of sorts) is #legions on the TASClient
Hammering out the last few bugs, twiddlin' this, fiddlin' that. Adding Tau stuff when out of ideas (Ye gods Hammerheads are hard to model!), then we shall see a release! Yay!
First release shall have Space Marines in. They are nearly complete - just missing Thunderhawks, Assualt Marines and Dreadnoughts. The first two because Spring can't support them - well, this version of Spring at any rate, and the third will have to wait 'till I can a) find a place in the tech tree for them and b) get melee working properly
Termies just need a bit more work (missing a few of them), ie Typhoon Rocket Terminators and Termie Sergeants)
Chaos have been temporarily dropped because daemons = hard to do. Second race will probably be Tau. Third race... ?
Texturing shall commence when I get a Wacom tablet
First release will probably not be that balanced. Hard to get testers...
Epic Legions first actual news post! Ahem. A little news for ye all, the Space Marine Whirlwind is now ingame, and awesome. Words and pictures cannot...
Beta 1.4 of Epic Legions. Contains numerous bug fixes and extra units. To install, extract into your Spring/mods folder
Is this a mod or a game?
If it is a mod, like it seems, you need to move it away from the indie section.
How do I get it to work? I put it in a folder I named mods... It doesn't show up in the Select Games areas.
I cant get the Enamy Commander to build any thing.
He just stands there.
nice looking mod if i were you id get a texture artist. It would improve the look of your mod a lot instead of just the base colours. I'd help out but im a little busy...gd luck and keep up the good work.
By the way, we started closed beta testing around two month's ago - I've got to stop forgetting to update this page...
Also: I've finally gotten around to adding neddie to the Team Members thingy (sorry about that)
New stuff!
First off, Whirlwinds! Pictures cannot describe how frakking awesome these things look ingame, but they shall try (or, to put it another way, I put a load of whirlwind shots into the gallery. The entire scene is staged, of course)
Second off, Imperial Guard! I've decided not to use SpikedHelmet's guard - this mod was mainly made for my own enjoyment and for the experience, and I'd rather make them myself. Also, I didn't put any pictures in. Please don't damage my person.
Third off, Nurgle! The 'march of Nurgle' shows the effects I put on the Plague Marines to give that 'I've got AIDs, Cancer and TB in one!' look. There were a few amusing bloopers from the creation of said effects. One of which can be viewed here: Uploadthis.co.uk
Enjoy!
I have, as mentioned above, taken up some responsibility in generating build trees and working on information. My work may be slow, but hopefully I will soon commit another tentative tree and polish up the Eldar.
Great work, love the screens. Can't wait for this one :D
