Description
All the NC Sigma helmets are now finished. I've had to display them on the updated NC composite trooper as I haven't finished the other composite skins yet but this lets me showcase the small changes I made to it compared to the last image I uploaded.
Here's the helmets from left to right;
Light Assault
Engineer
Heavy Assault
Infiltrator
Medic
Captain
Very nice!
I love all the Sigma helmets - except for the captain. Hoodies on officers just don't seem to cut the mustard with me. Just a personal preference though. I'm sure many will like it. I could probably do a swap between the captain and the infiltrator.
Is there any prominent way that officers and squad leaders can be indicated? I have resorted to giving them the medic helmet - so I can easily identified them amongst the other squad members. Perhaps different colour shoulder armour.
I see they are all carrying secondary weapons on their backs. Is this just for extra effect in the screenshot, seeing that you are using the "updated NC composite trooper" skin? Will the Sigmas be getting special backpacks - similar to the TR Havoc squad?
Each composite squad captain helmet isn't actually called that. All the other helmets are called things like Sigma_medic, Sigma_engineer etc... whilst the hood is Sigma_Surveyor. I figured since it was the only one left over I would just assign it to the captain so that it had a unit to go with, same goes for the other two factions.
You could make a texmod to change armour colours, but I don't think you'd be able to make them spawn with that as default, you would have to select them and pick the texmod manually as far as I know.
I'm not going to make up a cool reason, they actually have those weapons on their backs because I copied my TR elite squad breed files and just changed the skin and helmet around until I add the new faction weapons, so they spawn with tr weapons whilst I'm testing the skins/helmets, obviously this won't happen in the version release.
And finally yes, the Sigma engineers and medics will have new backpacks.
I agree on swapping infiltrator with captain.
