Shattered Paradise is an expansion for Tiberian Sun on OpenRA, its goal is to (im)balance the game by adding new factions (Mutants, C.A.B.A.L. and Scrin) and reworking the original sides, all of this to create a game a little more varied and balanced than TS. The mod puts a lot of emphasis on making the factions as asymmetric as possible.

Description
The last "basic" unit of the Scrin needed to have all the sides "even" this guy is going to be the tanky alien that you use to distract oponents, the other bug, now named Mind leech will behave as a mind control unit and the floater infantry, now named Purifiers, will act similar to the starcraft 2 Reaper, with this I can start resting for a bit.
Look good +1

Oh my god, the animation that goes from them sitting down to standing back up almost looked like they were unfolding a lawn chair and lazing in it for a second there.
Other than that this looks really good. I'd even go as far as to say you might want to remake some of the other ones because this one is just so much higher quality then them.
Important parts:
1. Lots of team color that seamlessly blends into the model.
2. Very unique profile to the rest of the units.
3. Decently large, easy to pick it out from groups of other units.
Other parts:
1. Good-looking texture and mesh.
2. Nice animations, although some of them look a bit weird.
I'm pretty sure there are two reasons for that.
1) parts of the background always blend with the model, which is a problem I always had but I have been slowly learning to reduce its effects.
2) This unit is bigger than the others, so it has more room for detail.
Very purple. XD
Will these creatures be able to "sit down" to behave similar to allied GIs(RA2)?
That's just an iddle animation, I got tired of doing the same with every unit over and over again (and the worst part is that I can't stop repeating things).
Maybe I will give these guys a toggable ability like the desolator, as long as it doesn't make them too strong.
