Rival-Species News

Hello again, it’s been a while since the last serving of Rival-Species related goodness, but rest assured that things are as busy as ever!
First of all we have been lucky to see the completion of Bahl’s Necron Destroyer model, an excellent looking piece of equipment for any Necron General’s interstellar deathmongery, that you shall see storming across the battlefield in some future releases (when the Necron race is included).
I’m also proud to present a fantastic looking model produced by Jove, that of the Kroot Warrior, a mercenary race employed ruthlessly by the Tau Empire as cheap and effective close combat troops (though they are lightly armoured).
On the mapping front, our excellent new mapper, Cyberman, has put together a very atmospheric space-hulk map: rs_ca_legionstorm, I suggest if you’re already an RS fanatic, you should pick this up right away!
Of course, though models and maps make up a great deal of any modification, the code itself is what will make or break a game. For this reason I’d like to give a really rather brief update on the work in this area: It’s going great! Bahl, our coder, is working very hard to add some unique things to Rival-Species, not least of which is the ever-evolving vehicle code for the upcoming motorbike classes (we already have the dreadnaughts working great!).
There have also been a quite incredible number of updates to various aspects of Rival-Species over the last few weeks, and much work has gone on that I don’t have the space to mention here: including Chromeangel’s work on some great props for Rival-Species maps, and a tonne of other impressive modelling projects that have yet to be completed.

And here are two pictures to whet your appetite:
