Code-name: Loiter image - Kane's Wrath Unofficial Big Bang Patch 1.04 mod for Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Kane's Wrath Unofficial Big Bang Patch 1.04 is a mod that adds few new things and tries to balances the game a bit more from my and the community ideas while at the same time also tries to save the most import ingredient at bay: The "fun".
Shelob who?
Been a while since I've posted something, so here some WIP,
Code-name: Loiter (May actually ends up as their true name),
A supportive spider-like unit that basically adds what Scrin lacks the most, a way to properly EMP units, its main weapon deals nearly no damage but slows units down, while on the Reaper ver it deals some small damage that keeps reduce the target's HP a little by little for a samll duration of time,
Both units have the ability to use their rears to EMP'd units or structures, and for the Reaper version I'm working on another ability that hopefully going to work out,
Also due to balance reasons (and cause it going to look funny visual wise) both units won't have any shield upgrade, even on the Reaper's end.
Remember that this is a WIP, the models or role/ability could change later on, and this is where your opinions could help so be sure to let me know if you think I should go in a different direction.
are you sure they will fit in scrin faction?
Visually and role wise I think they should be fine,
I was thinking for some years about adding that unit but never found the time to start working on it till recently.
What do you have in mind ;o?
I dunno, I think the fact it's clearly 100% an Earth spider makes it... not alien enough.
Well it's subjective and can very well be us who see it differently once we know where it was taken from,
Scrin didn't had any strict rules in their units designs, some lookes like static objects and some looks alive (and mostly takes after bugs), Many TW players thoughts they knew Scrin well enough till KW kicked in and gave you more bug-like units such as the mechape or the Hexi (and god... if people only knew on what concept art the hexi was based on it could've shattered the image they had on it forever lol)
But then you also had units like the Cultists who are humans which got parasites-like creatures on their head, take this to the extreme and you can technically get a bear unit with parasites on its head and so on.
I'm not going to say that my edit is perfect (and so the gif which shows only part of the unit in a map it standouts like duck on a road xD) but I really think Shelob was the closest thing to a Scrin unit if you edit her model right,
I may need to work on it a bit more though.
SIZE MATTERS BIGGER IS STRONGER
The model looks like it has been taken from BfME. They do share the same engine.
Yeah, it's good old Shelob imported to KW alright,

Same models with some addons,
Not many people noticed it but the Gun walker's legs seem to be really closed to her's xD.
wow very good
Awesome!
sure it looks like a spider but hey!
so do gunners.
Can't wait to shell these shiny bastards, good work.
Thxs
But so far it's seems like Spidi bros had some mixed criticism 🤔
I wonder if the gif gave the wrong impression cause in-game and in other pics they seem to fit in,
It will be a shame to get rid of them just case "Shelob happened" xD
One feeling I got from the gif is that they looks too big, but in-game they aren't that big from Corrupter or Gun walker, their legs and butt make them look bigger on zoom though

What if you tried putting some of the Corruptor's back plating over the front of the abdomen? Or maybe incorporate some of the texture from the gun walker there.
I've mostly let my imagination run wild with this one,
Textures and model parts from the Gun Walker, Corruptor, and Eradicator, actually were the few main stuff I had in mind,
But making another unit that will be white-black like the Walker, or adding too many other unit parts into it felt wrong to me, mostly cause when I take an overall look on Scrin, I don't see units that looks too much like each other aside some basic things, So I've went with the "lets make it its own thing while keep things modest" kind of thought line.
I don't think these changes going to looks good as well but I can try to test the water a bit more~
Awesome!! I think they fit the scrin well, considering they have other units as well that share earth insect vibes. I mean, the mechapede is literally a huge centipede with guns! Can't wait to test them in the field ^^
