Commission: Annihilator image - Empire At War Remake: Galactic Civil War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
I recently started doing commissions again, which is where someone says 'Yo bud, make me that ship and I'll pay you' and I say 'yo bud, sure thing', which I stopped for a while due to real life greatly reducing my free time. However, I'm back to doing commissions now, and someone started it with quite the project. We decided to size down the Annihilator ( Jbjhjm.deviantart.com ) to the 7 KM mark. The same size as the Bellator. I'm also going to use this in the mod as an add-on, the ship is significantly more powerful than the Bellator, and will be a higher cost SSD in Galactic Conquest, I also think I'm going to make it fill the full 50 CP cap since it has such a huge amount of firepower.
For the ship I obviously did not model every turret in the reference, that'd go way over a thousand turrets. Instead I built a low-poly, generic weapon emplacement that I put all over the ship. Each will house a single hardpoint. Every poly that could be spared has been spared on parts that were copy pasted (think turrets, engines, weapon banks) to try to keep the poly count down. Though sadly with a ship of this complexity it's never a low-poly result.
So yeah, large super star destroyer. Texturing this is going to be fun.
That's amazing!
Never see that kind of ship class before, I personally call it Annihilator-class. Is it an Imperial ship?
Check description >
If your previous textures are any indication this should be one of your best. I've never seen one of these playable before.
It will hopefully be even better, I'm going to use Substance painter (a program) to texture the ship, which can have some awesome results. Check my ORAW page for a teaser of what it can produce.
I love when people make Fanon designed models for EaW! Because that's one thing I think people should do with this game, Get REALLY creative!!
IMMM CRYINGG!!!!!!
That is really beautiful.
Wow you finished it looks great.
Oh my guuuuud! :D
Gigantic work, mate !
yeah agree! ^^
Those Ultra Heavy Turrets look like the same as the Bismarck class' 380mm guns :D I suggest a rework with the IJN Yamato class' turrets.

You are correct they are the Bismark's turrets if you read the description on his Keldabe a few picture back. Yamato turrets are triple barrel and the reference picture has duals there.
iirc it wasnt the Keldabe but this one

Your right I got my K Mandalorian ships mixed up.
I know that, i said it becouse its more beautiful :D
How much do you charge for a commissioned ship?
Depends on the project really, PM me for details.
holy ****!
if i had the money i'd pay you for an Assertor-class :D
Hey that's amazing! Quick! someone comission something for the Rebels,
how wil they even compete?! :P
Nebula can still disable its weapons, doesn't matter how large or powerful the ship is, the nebula hardcounters everything :)
Yes that is true, also compliments for that same ability (albeit lighter) on the Gladiator. It makes it extremely usefull well into tech 5.
So the Bellator was named Overlord.
Settled on a name for this one yet?
errr, no, and I also don't have more custom dialog :D
The Firebrand, an Annihilator Class - Super Star Destroyer built in secret at Yaga Minor.
Or... Something... :P
Or just call it the Annihilator, first of it's class.
good luck with the textures! XD
the rebel alliance are in trouble now with this ship :)
I'd be tempted to scale it to 8km and call it a Mandator. Looks like a heavier cousin of the Bellator.
Mandator series don't look like that. they're narrower but thicker. assertor is also 15 km, while Mandator III only reaches 12 km
There's no official picture of a Mandator out there and in the new canon it's just a name anyway. Going by Legends the Essential Guide to Warfare the Bellator was a thinner, slightly shorter and faster version of the Mandator 1&2 Jasonfry.tumblr.com That means the Mandator is a bulkier heavier Bellator which this pretty much fits that description. If you were to start from scratch with the intent to make a Madator then yeah you would want to make it look different and more like the Bellator but for the sake of using an already existing model to fill the role of a more canon ship then this one beats any other model out there.
Since this is a beast of a ship, we would really appreciate if at one point you did a short (yet epic) YTube-Vid with it.
If I read Description right, you will be adding this to RE mod?. Also amazing work dude. Lol you were not joking about how the mod takes a lot of particals lol I was at 1500 VRAM. Continue the great work !!!!
You are introducing a new class of ship when there are already so much to choose from in the imperial navy.
It's a commissioned piece so someone liked the design enough to pay him to make it. Don't get to choose what people are willing to pay for.
