Where's that files?

[Michael1980]

It is in development

[Gorb]

As a Mod in progress, the files are unlikely to be available yet.

EDIT: ninja'd.

[Michael1980]

Ok, will update the info ASAP

[RMX]

Are there any plans for more units?

[Michael1980]

It is a difficult question - there are a lot of plans, but only time will tell if they materialize
Right now you should expect an Ork gargunt titan as a side project and a Sigfried light tank in AM colours
as well as some infantry units... could tell you more, but those are not 100% concrete plans

[Hollow]

If there are plans for infantry units, would for example (just putting a case) the Dark Eldar Grothesques be in your future plans?.

[Michael1980]

Yes
However, it is not ours, and it has nothing to do with the UAMmod


Ork Gargant titan is in development at the moment - will show first pics very soon.

[paradamed]

Nice colour scheme for the imperator titan!

[Michael1980]

Thanks! The creator is also working on a DE Tantalos - also a big WIP

[RMX]

I like that Grotesque.

I hope to see these units in-(my)-game one day.

[Michael1980]

Ork Gargant titan is almost ready to kick @$$!
BoyChaos is the best!

if you follow the GW news, you will easily recognize this new Necron uni

also WIP

[Michael1980]

Ork Gargant titan - DONE!
Once again, BoyCHaos proves that He is the best!

To make things a bit more interesting for the "forgotten" races,
here is the new Necron flyer

BoyChaos makes the impossible possible!


Can't show you much if there are no new posts...
or maybe I can

It's a TigerShark

[paradamed]

The Gargant is impressive!

[Michael1980]

It is a very complex unit with tons of new FXs! BoyCHaos outdid even himself this time.
Hopefull you will see a Tantalus & Doom Scyth for necros soon enough

some potential candidates for the AM

[Rytlock]

Those gun servitors look interesting, but haven't someone already made similar servitors before? What's the difference? Are there any new weapons you can upgrade them with?

[Michael1980]

It looks like a servitor from the well-know IDH mod (the left one)
the right one is just a new skin for this unit + some OE fixes
I am not sure who is the author of this skin, my guess is that it was made by one talanted Russian skinner who once worked for the FOK mod.
Don't know for sure though. Weapon choices are the same: everything from h.bolters to plasma guns

[Rytlock]

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

So, are there any plans on getting all these models into some mod yet? Have you found anyone willing to implement them or are you going to make your own mod?

[moddlord1]

waz up! hail great gargant! i obey you! i am your loyal soldier!orks gonna chop m up!

[Michael1980]

Dark Eldar Tantalos is under way

I dislike repeating myself. Please follow the quality standards that this forum strives to uphold.

[Michael1980]

it's done.

yet another armored unit for the AM - Sigfried light tank - working hard on the skin & animations - the author BoyChaos says.

[Rytlock]

Well, what do you know. A troll apologizes, what a rare occation indeed. I might not agree with what you have done on this forum, but I can respect your decision to apologize. If you are acctually sincere, that is. However, I would recommend sending a private message to whoever banned you saying how sorry you are, how it will never happen again and all that. The easiest way to do this would be to scroll up to Gorb´s comment, click on his name and pick the "Private message" option.

On a more related note, I don't think anyone answered my question whether you have any plans for this mod, or if you are just posting images hoping someone will contact you.

[Michael1980]

Probably the second option is a better choice
these materials quickly find new masters - after all those are very good units
like this little reskin
http://postimage.org/image/gka6mqifn/
once again BoyChaos shows his excellent skills! Great job!

[subspace5000]

Well, since this isn't actually a mod yet, I don't think 'Mods in progress' is the right forum for it...

[Michael1980]

It is a mod in progress - just read the header, however, who said that sharing of units between mods is a bad thing?
(especially since it takes so much time to complete a new mod)

[ÜberJumper]

Banned user's duplicate account has had its posts removed from this thread.

[RMX]

Finally a Powerlifter model. Looks really good, but I think it would be awesome if you made a version with the open cockpit

[Gorb]

I would like to request a source on the Power Lifter model and texture (and possibly animations) given that it seems to be directly sourced from the Arbites-crewed model from the copy-protected Witch Hunters modification.

[jONES1979]

It is from HorusHeretics Armored Company FOK mod. You should recall it, WH's sentinel was open-topped, lol

Though, this is the source screenshot you requested

[Michael1980]

Yes, and in the future, pls use PMs for such questions, ok?
WHmod content is out of the game for now - no permission - no modifications
Just because it looks similar dosen't mean it is a kitbashing project

[Gorb]

Apologies jONES, I meant the Power Lifter weapon/mesh itself - not the whole model

@Michael1980: I'll bear that in mind in future, as long as PMs get cordial replies.

[Xaitan]

Masterful work Michael! It's a shame you aren't part of the UA team, could see your modelling ability really benefiting them in advancing quicker.

Keep up the great work dude!

[Michael1980]

This is BoyChaos's work - not mine & he can't be a part of the UA mod for many reasons... anyway, that mod has many supporters
so i guess that will be fine

[Michael1980]

something new from ForgeWorld

a friend of ours is using an Ordinatus in battle


and if you thought it is the only version of the Ordinatus, think again!

An attempt to find an unusual choice for AM infantry - Afriel troopers
an a video for them - at least the first part
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02-QhfNjcC8

Also, the author was able to UVmap this lovely siege engine
so hopefully you will see it very soon along with Sigfried light tank


temp.skin - new anims

[RMX]

Afriel Strain soldiers are a very good idea for Mechanicus troops. Seeing that the units BoyChaos makes revolves around titans and superweapons, why don't you do a 'Collegia Titanica' or 'Adeptus Titanicus' race? It could be all about getting superweapon systems online (kinda like Necrons)

[Michael1980]

Well, all i can say is that it is a good idea, and we would be happy to help Winterdien finish his Titanic project too!

[Michael1980]

image upload
Mega-Gargant is online


upload picture
more AM infantry units!

[Michael1980]

It just keeps getting better & better - OE \ Anims are DONE - all it needs now is a good skin - it won't take too long!

Happy VDV Day!

[Gorb]

I am wondering where you got the chestplate of the "Steel Legion" trooper from.

[Michael1980]

I have no idea - this skin is available on one Eastern (Chinese) DOW site - however, i don't even know who made it...

[GeoffS]

Then you can not use it since you don't have permission.

[Jaguar-Lord]

some clarification GeoffS : you can use anything you want for your own PRIVATE mod, but if you do so you can not release it to the general public, which mean you can not upload your mod to an hosting web-service and make and distribute a download link.
and to be very clear, for everyone to meditate, you can not distribute it via private message, or by giving a hard copy on an usb device neither, "private" is what it means : for your own personal use and abuse.

against all odds, it seems that you can still promote your own work and show screenshot of you private mod here at Relic News. this is not considered as promoting mod raping isn't it ?

thus said, the reskin looks good, you may consider replacing the eagle breast plate by a cogwheel mechanicus symbol, or a forge symbol maybe ? the one on the shoulder pad is not big enough , but this is only my personal taste

Let's be clear now:

- You can do all of the above
- All of the above is still IP theft
- Distributing it via PM or publicly in this forum goes against the forum rules. That is bad if you like this forum. The rest is outside the authority of RelicNews

Back on-topic: I saw the other day models for the Tau Tigershark and Tau Manta ships. Are any of these yours?

Advertising stolen content on these boards is also forbidden. If that is not explicitly mentioned in the forum rules, then I will add it (staff already conferred on this particular subject).

Michael1980 has also failed to update his OP in the manner of the mod template I have posted. I am locking this thread while Michael1980 responds to the issues present.

Also, one last time:

If you have an issue with how the forum rules are interpreted, Forum Issues is the place to post. Failing that, take the issue up with a Moderator or Senior Moderator instead of derailing a thread.

Sorry Gorb for posting this after the thread was locked, but I think it is important to clarify exactly what the legal situation is with using other people's work in mods. Jaguar-Lord doesn't have it quite correct. It is really very simple, if you do not have specific permission from the owner of the intellectual property, legally you can NOT use it in a mod, whether it is for your own private use or not. If you choose to use it in a private mod it is still illegal, but if you don't mention it on these forums, ever, it is your problem, not ours. If you talk about it here and it becomes clear you don't own the IP, then it becomes our problem and we MUST act to stop it being discussed or promoted here. Legally, we don't get the choice, so it doesn't matter whether people agree with it or not, we have to police it on these forums.

[Gorb]

Update.

Thread is now permanently closed as Michael1980 doesn't feel like posting anymore - in his own words.
