(retribution) WARMASTER mod

[uncle_anaesthesia]

Warmaster mod is my attempt to recreate some battles from the horus heresy, along with any others that may take my fancy.
So i'll be making custom maps for the battles, with each map having hopefully a scripted mission and a more straightforward multiplayer.
The first map being the battle for ullanor keep basically pits the luna wolves vs orks.

there will also be specific armour types/classes for the marines that fit the timeline of the HH....mark II armour etc....

there is no imminent release, this is a slow process of learning bits here and there, and a shit load of reskinning

Credits: Shuma: for his helmets n other stuff to make the mod more visually appealing
Nasty Noodle : for her models too

[Shuma]

Nice, very nice. Keep it up man.

[uncle_anaesthesia]

cheers, still needs some love to make the mark II plate armour more realistic

well having looked at squad setups for luna wolves during the HH it seems they dont have libbys or chappies so i'll have to be imaginative so as to have some varying squad types etc



HH style terminators

[MrBlazzar]

I always like the pre-heresy termies better then now a day termies. Really good stuff so far keep it up.

[Whiteshield]

any chance of making the sergeant (or is it captain?) helm like the ones in this pic?.. also any chance of giving the helms a more realistic feel like this?....

[horusheretic]

Something you may be interested in then if you can get it textured and what not

Ive had it modelled for months and its Somewhat uv mapped already. you'll just need to re rig it

[Calgar]

Wow. Now this looks very good.

Keep up the work.


And do you plan to do all Legions or just some? If so which ones?

Edit: The Ultramarines were also at Ullanor. Multiple HH books reference to it.

[Hellcobra84]

Very great work

[-Delta-]

Awesome work here guys!

[DemonPastry]

Are those beautiful pre heresy luna wolves ranked compatable?

[uncle_anaesthesia]

whiteshield, the brushtop can be put on any helmet it's a separate model and not attached to any specific helmet, and the helmets the guys are wearing in the pic i am using as base marine helmet(need to give red eyes i think)
calgar, im keeping it to luna wolves at moment as im still finding my feet, but they are team colourable so in multiplayer u can choose ultras if you wish, and if n when i do another battle then the specific legions will be represented.
demon P, i dont play ranked so no, but i have 3 slightly different versions of mark II and will no doubt have a few more armour types by the time i release the 1st mod instalment.

[Whiteshield]

no dude, I mean can u make the helmets a bit... taller?... the height of the helmets are kinda low... just my 2 cents there. Epic work

[p0seidon]

Tbh, that's basically a problem with relic's base model, the helmet is too squashed, and it's too long.
I'm personally working on a replacement for it, but I won't hijack the thread with it haha!

Either way, looks like a lovely project!

[Khorney]

very nice work, love the pre-heresy stuff

[Calgar]

Helmets look fine to me, but the pre-heresy helmets were low down and quite long.

[Whiteshield]

Calgar, yes they are indeed fine, but as Lefty said, too squashed. Compare the mod's pic with the false gods pic's helmets. the novel's cover has a "spartan" or mandalorian feel to it. while the mod's helmets look a bit like grey knight helmets, just my two cents, but the mod's great already, merely stating matter-of-fact(ly).

[Calgar]

Hmm, I see your point. They are a little squashed. But what does one little error count against such a promising mod?

[DemonPastry]

Would it be theoretically possible to make them ranked compatible?

[Whiteshield]

@Calgar - indeed. I request for more fluffy helmets then, if not, then its cool too

[BigSteve]

Cannot wait to use Loken!

[Krios]

Are we going to see only Luna Wolves?

Would be awesome if it had other legions too.

[uncle_anaesthesia]

Lefty, originally i made the helmets bigger as im not to keen on the size either but then you get the helmet cutting into the shoulder pads when they do their set poses and it looks.....kinda shit imo.
Whiteshield eventually i will make the helmet a bit taller though ill keep the extra length like the pre heresy pic, but its basically same position as relics original, in fact it is their model with face shields on sides in the exact position, same goes for termi shoulders in santos model viewer they look great but having the animations running and you get little cutting issues. check out marines kneeling the armour cuts into the leg pretty badly.
DP..ranked compatable? yep probably
Loken...and the rest in due course wouldnt be right not to have the main characters in the legions

eventually i will do other battle maps with appropriate legions in them, but for now just the luna wolves vs orks



----------

ground assault squad

[Lupercal]

really cool pics. looking forward when this mod gets released.

just gonna make suggestion about your terminator squads.
what i know is that the terminator squads at peak of Great Crusade and HH didnt have diffrent oriented squads like assualt and ranged, and that the lightning claws didnt look like those on the pic they looked like more the ones the chaos lord has in the game.

but overall this mod look really promising
keep up the good work

[MrBlazzar]

Can't wait for this to be released! Its gonna be epic!

And ya lupercal is right. The pre-heresy Lightning claws are like the chaos ones now. Because the imperium changed them during the 10 thousand years after the heresy.

[uncle_anaesthesia]

ive got the claws just need to add them as an upgrade which may take a while as im lame at rbf editing



not just luna wolves that r being worked on

[Dofd]

Who are they?! O.o
Awesome mod btw
In desperat need of alpha release ^^

[Lupercal]

first pic looks like Luna wolves first company colour

[nathaniak]

ohh, interesting

[Didsy]

Love Thaddeus in the sanguinary guard -esq attire.

Are you thinking about doing both Loyalist and Heresy Dark/Fallen Angels? Because that would be interesting. Esspecially maybe a Cypher inspire model?

[-Delta-]

Oi that will be interesting to see. Will you be rigging them to be each individual type color schemes with the models attached to them? it would give a great amount of diversity

[shadowninja0069]

wow very cool looking mod,ive been trying to make the sanguinary gold armour for my ba mod.
yours looks way better then mine wish i could figure out how to get that gold armour look for dante and the sanguinary guard.
But gl man looks awsome so far. I love your prey hersey helmets and armour.

[uncle_anaesthesia]

didsy: not possible at moment to have a cypher model in game no animations for left hand right hand shooters and dont know if a good/bad DA fight would be good thing id imagine a bit of confusion as they basically have same armour at the time.
all models will just be reskins of general models with a little animation attached, shumas animation stuff is an example of whats currently possible at moment, i have a justaerian, justicarean? feather decor for attaching to termis that i will try n add an animation to but animations are a skill n themselves and pretty hard to do imho, theyr very time consuming and even more tedious than uv unwrapping harhar in fact modellings the easiest bit.
rigging stuff im experimenting... i was trying to rig an eldar guardian model to marine scout bones to make a vindicare assassin,,,,eventually, but it will take alot of tweaking to get rite.
but i got the generals arm onto the marines giving the iron hands a well,,,more iron hand look.

shadow i basically looked in dakadaka at their models pics cut bit out reareranged and trraced then added heaps n heaps of layers to try n achieve the muscle effect.open the dif file copy it and experiment on it adding layers of muscle. it took a while but the gold tone statred out as sepia 2, due to the use of shaders in dow 2 it makes average stuff look pretty good

[uncle_anaesthesia]

update, image for some reason i keep getting a link, so here's an actual pic

[PanzerKrieg]

nice bionic arm.

[Tyron]

I disagree I hate bionics

[Shuma]

I disagree with the disagreement, it looks awesome, imo it looks better on the marines than on General Mercury.

[DemonPastry]

Seconded!

[LokenIstvanIV]

Thirded, Iron Hands needs lotso bionics to be believable. Those look great Unc A.

[uncle_anaesthesia]

yeh having marines the same model size as ig has some bonuses..not alot but some.

[Caeltos]

Loving it.

[MegaDok]

This looks awesome.

You going to release these model replacements so people can use them in multiplayer?

[uncle_anaesthesia]

once the mod is released all the stuff is available to other people do as they choose. i wont be releasing anything until mod is complete

[Hellcobra84]

fantastic !

[uncle_anaesthesia]

minor update, been dickin about with textures which i find somewhat tedious due to being arse at it

[Tyron]

is that the Dark angles dlc cape thing? looks great, cant wait for this mod, im a huge pre-heresy fan

[uncle_anaesthesia]

yeh the cape is now a separate item

[uncle_anaesthesia]

[Tyron]

Retro jetpacks love it!
