Description
This is the very WIP model for the Covenant Starbase. This is not the Unyielding Heirophant, but a smaller cousin. UH would break the scale of the game given her immense size. Model still needs lots of touch up, but this is the general shape of her.
Don't forget to vote for us for MOTY!
Looks great almost like 2 squid kissing
That's not kissing...
I see where you are going...
A wild Unikraken Appeared!
Harden.
Harden.
Harden.
Harden.
Harden.
Unikraken has fainted.
Or an electron orbital configuration...
Very true.
Hmmm, now where have I seen this image before??

Squid porn: Not for the faint of heart
looks great
Ha. Just like the book. That's nice.
did you have to post my model right next to the orion, Annihalator's model makes mine look like **** lol
That's okay, my texture will make it sexier since everyone knows the Covenant are where its at.
how many marathons does it take to destroy a covenant star base...?
The UNSC may never know.
i thought it was going to be a riddle :P
who said u need to use marathons?
excuse me for not knowing but what is the Unyielding Heirophant? I was always thought it was going to be high charity, but then again having them everywhere would be weird
in first strike, it was orbiting reach as a forward base for an attempted mass invasion of earth. chief and friends destroyed the station and most of the surrounding fleet. the covie ships in halo 2 attacking earth in the beginning were the only ships that survived out of hundreds
I googled it and I remember that now. That is the station the spartans met the brutes for the first time on right? been years since I read the book
sorry but I am very nitpicky lol
The UH was actually in the Tau Ceti system.
It was basiclly a forward operations base for the attack on Earth before it was destroyed.
I LOVE IT.
I look forward towards nuking this thing into oblivion.
Will it be mobile ala the Orkulus?
That is what I intend for it. All starbases will be mobile if I get my way.
40 acres, a mule, and movable starbases! #SOTP2012
OK, you have my vote
Do you intend to release the mod when the covenant will be complete or we can hope for when the UNSC will be?
UNSC release first, then UNSC vs Covenant, then Rebellion transition.
I suppose you have pretty much any ship.
What does is left, Everest and the new battleship?
That and the Cradle station, and then little things like refinery/trade ships, starbase constructor, etc. They're in progress of course though, Canada just put up shots of the new construction frigate by Zero.
Gotta say that this is pretty well executed even if it is an early model, the flow between the ring and the inner section is very well done. Only comment would be it needs some irregularity on the ring and bulbous sections, crests and small visual flairs to help establish the sense of scale.
Thankyou that means a lot coming from you :D
Uneven elephant, definately not a giant Hula hoop
Let's see your model...Don't worry we'll wait...
Well, I was only beaten by one person when saying Uneven Elephant.. Oh well.
Anyway, Canon says that this thing could do R&R for 500 covie capitol ships...
Thoughts?
Did you read the description text?
I did... I just clearly read it completely wrong...
Well so much for a Halo:First Strike reference.
Model looks great.
Because NO ONE HAS QUOTED IT FULLY
Don't look like any 'uneven elephant' to me
