This mini-mod (actually rather modders resource than a real mod) concentrates on adding some variants of the glorious Land Raider assault transport.
current status:
model-done
texture-kitbashed
rigging-awaiting
credits-FOK (Hunter-killer missile)

>> but i rather prefer more revamped version
As a mechanical engineer by education I have to say,that those "revamped" variant looks silly.
Turrets requires a drive mechanism for rotating and it is usually quite massive, but he placed turrets just above the tracks...
Agreed, motor systems used in turrets are big and even more considering the turrets of the revamped version that are just above the tracks are not that small. A smaller turret could be placed but the control mechanisms would need to be placed above the heavy plated hull to avoid the tracks, thus increasing the probability that in a fight those turrets were knocked out quickly losing their point in a prolongued fight.
well if you want to play with the turreted version, you can build it in Dark Prophecy mod ;)
I just hate putting any turrets on LRs cause it sorts of destroys the genius simple shape it has...
As i was reading the warhammer wiki, the Land raiders with Laser waepons need many place for batteries, because of that the space left for transport is much tiner, are you going to include such details in mod? I ask because in Fok they did so i want to be sure :).
this will be more on the mods which will use it, but a reduced transport capacity (like to one squad only) seems logical.
The "same" here, the hunter-killer missile launcher is from FOK mod, not from DP mod.
thanks.
This one looks really good
Are all Land Raider models free for public use?
