Description
Not long to finish all LR variants. Damocles, Crusader, Redeemer and Terminus Ultra still to do.
Helios has about 5500 triangles so not that heavy.
Now, pictures 8,9 and 10 show Helios with larger Whirlwind battery that I was to use originally. Pics from 1-7 show standard size WW battery. Which one do you prefer?
Sorry, man, don't want to break your inspiration, but could you model something really absent in the game? For example, this Forgeworld.co.uk
No problem man :), you ain't breaking anything. I was planing on doing new stuff. I didn't forgot out talk about Centurion and also want to work on Fire Raptor and some other units not currently in game, but I would like to finish all LRs now so I don't have to come back to them later.
Hmmm, Javelin looks nice, and quite a punch for a speeder. Have to think on how are we going to make him balanced out.
Yeah, I would be really OE-code it. The Javelin LS. And the Centurion.
You will my friend, I mean in the end, you are our OE guy. You'll do the coding for all units and these two as well. Patience mate, Centurion and Javelin will be in the mod :)
Honestly, I doubt I will do it for ALL your units. It is enormous amount of work. And it is also pretty monotonous and tedious.
Sorry to hear that mate, I though we had OE covered with you on board, but at least you said it in time so I know that I should also seek someone else who can help out with OE.

Honestly i think the smaller size battery looks better in comparison with the rest of the scale of the model.
The larger version doesn't seem bad but i prefer the smaller one.
Scorpion, thanks for the feedback. That was my problem as well, I liked both versions so wanted to hear what do rest of the guys think.
I'll go with the smaller one, after all, it's by the codex :D
I also agree with GreenScorpion, smaller one looks more realistic. Good job as always :)
