"In The Grim Darkness Of The Far Future There Is Only War" Warhammer 40k is set in a Universe where no one is safe from the horrors of space. The Imperium of man struggles to hold its borders or protect its citizens from the the alien, the mutant and the heretic. The human race is no longer a progressive race, most of the weapons and vehicles they use date back to the "Dark age of Technology" long before the days of the Emperor. Technological advance is at standstill and much has been forgotten, never to be recovered. In this dark millenia danger lurks behind every corner, and it is the holy duty of the Inquisition to guard and purge the threats within and without the Imperium. Take the role of Malachias Kane, Young Inquisitor under the command of Lord Inquisitor Dante, warring agains the notorious Chaos sorcerer Bathomeos. It is your mission to rendevouz with allies, and deliver the final piece to the plan to bring the Chaos scum under the Emperor's hammer.

Hello folks! Long time no jazz. :D Just wanted to show something new were working on as we are again trying to take more time with the project. The video is very WIP and the sequence is quite unremarkable, but it serves the purpose of testing out landing gear on the Eagle.
Forward is the only direction we go.

...and it gracefully lan- BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
Bezier.
The way the wings move, it feels like the vehicle is small, but knowing most Imperial vessels they do not tend to flap their wings like that...
Overall its a cool design and i applaud you for the animating, is it possible we can get it from a few different views next time? We can help you out with some comments if you need any.
Glad to see the teams not dead as well :D
Thanks Deathwing! Indeed we are working with the mod as much as we can. The wings move because each "feather" has a engine exhaust in the end and they are intended as higly advanced vtol/flight control thrusters. So here you can see them aligning so that they decrease the ships speed for touchdown.
