I find that kreig stuff tends to be a little on the simple side. From the pictures I've seen of kreig-style tanks, they tend to be mono-chromatic and if you've ever seen tank plating up close, it is rough and certainly not flat

the "driver" isn't saying it is a weak spot, he's simply saying "you cowards got in behind our tank, attack us if you dare!"

Once this is in game I'll make those, for now I think it is fine

If you can send me some more pics of the tanks including, perhaps, high quality shots of decals or symbols I should put on it I may consider redoing the texture from scratch

I would have made the textures alot better, however, this is the model that is going in game and, because of that, the textures have to be stretched somewhat

i believe the main gun, barrel on the back, exaust and side panel details, as well as the sponson widths, not to mention the textures are different than the ones that are shown in this picture. just because it is a leman doesn't mean it is the same.

actually death korps of krieg is what we were going with (just to change it up to answer the question above and also the standard defiler may even be too strong considering that the individual chaos marine already overpowers most other races

well, I haven't determined the legion yet so I decided to simply put a symbol rather than a flag

no it isn't, I merely used that model as a reference

none of these models were downloaded from turbosquid, even if they look similar

if there are classes, they would be: normal guy, better than normal guy, sniper, anti-tank, flamethower and a special character (banshee, ogryn etc). Everyone starts off as a normal guy and depending on the score you get before you die determines if you can choose to respawn as someone better as there is a set number of other characters to make the game fair.

it has 6 bolters, 3 lascannons, a demolisher cannon and a battlecannon (11 weapons) and there is no volcano cannon. From what I have seen of baneblades this is simply the standard lucius pattern one.

I don't think there will be a stubber. The side sponsons would be too hard to animate with a signle driver so they would need individual passengers to use them. So because of that there can be three people in it (two for the sponsons and one that drives, uses the battlecannon and the lascannon). any more passengers and I could be considered a transport.

yeah. Against certain armies (such as the eldar, tau, etc) just a basic russ with bolters and a lascannon keeps the game even. However, when fighting tougher enemies (Marines, chaos, necrons etc) better varients with more powerful weapons could be used to keep them fair.

we are starting with the imperial guard and the eldar. For the eldar there will be: fire dragons, banshees, guardians, dire avengers and rangers. For the guard there will be guardsmen, stormtroopers, special weapons stormtrooper, and ogryns (we hope).

if you look at the end of the pics you'll see the three eldar models for the game

image updated without the smoothing groups. I knew something wasn't right (I hate reading the manual) :(

the dire avenger is for scale

this is roughly what it will look in game (the model that is not the background). It will be able to turn 90 degrees in both directions(so eldar can't destroy the IG base with it) and will be able to fire 3/4 of the map's length. It cannot move but cannot be destroyed(although the people in it can). It has unlimited ammo but cannot reach the enemy base with it's gun. It also must fire at least a good 100m in front of it as the barrel is aimed slightly upwards

just to let you know, dawn of war is not entirely warhammer:40000. If we were to perfectly reproduce the models that were done in DOW, we would be sued by the creators of Warhammmer, Games Workshop, for not perfectly reproducing THEIR models (which their copyright says we must do). For example the eldar scatterlaser platform from DOW doesn't exist in the tabletop game.

the pink rectangle is an average-sized guardsman for scale

I was the one who made them. These models (all the ones with weird colours) are just wip's. The colours help me differentiate the different texture groups....so yeah they're not done...

the project isn't divided, this is a completely different mod with some (but not all) different people

actually this one is coming out with Imperial Guard, not Space Marines

I dont think the red is bad but maybe more useful elements like health, ammo, map etc could be added

glad to see in-game footage

well, they still use paper, so i guess they still need something to clip the paper to

you can download this image on the downloads section, however it needs to be confirmed by the site still

we have catachans, we have a meganob, and now we have... an orbital bombardment
