closer to codex models - Tau Battlesuit Pack, Land Raider Crusader

[medes]

i've been making some models to make units look closer to the the codex and minis.
i'll be uploading whm/whe files for the community to use.

it won't be an actual mod, but rather a resource center to save modders alot of time, feel free to use these models for your mods

BEWARE: Some basic modding skill is required to install these models

If not, theres a good tutorial here by SmEg that should give you the basics required.

Dude I am also making some new models that look more closer to TT do you want to work together?

[medes]

sure, pm me why will ya.

meanwhile, i'll be uploading this in a few hours

chaos termies




they still have loyalist armor though coz i can't edit it without photoshop. If anyone is kind enough to make a skin for them upload it will ya

[goldo_O]

Nice!

[medes]

now that termies are done, my next one is marines with randomized helmets.
anyone got any reference to cool marine helmets?

[Tyconius]

The GW website has some good stuff:

http://uk.games-workshop.com/warhammer40000/

Maybe you can do a Slaaneshi Noise Marine. I don't think anyone has done them...

[potemkis]

Brother Santos has a tutorial up around in the forums about how to do the random helmets. I think it's in the Advanced Modding Forums.

[Kjon]

Very nice work medes, you'll save me a hell of a time.

2 thumbs up

[compiler]

Yep ! Most excellent work, and a much needed work.
Thanks for everyone of us !

[Stevocarty]

Very nice work medes , am i right in saying you used brother santos' excellent tools to create this , if so its a great example of whats now possible thanks to brother santos, took a few screens of the termies in textures made for the iron warriors mod they look great , maybe just need a bit of mesh smoothing but thats no big deal.





Excellent work medes

[Hands_of_Fate]

I envy everyone the ability to work with Brother Santos' tools, as no matter what I try they just don't want to run for me. Nevermind...

Good work with chaos termies models, man (A pity that they still use the old, marines', fx. Making them more 'chaotic' would rock hardcore, I think aspiring_champion wold serve as a perfect source for them. I'd change them myself, but I can't use Santos' tools... Which is sowly driving me mad...). I really like that you decided to share them with the rest of us who can't model anyhing but a pretty small and odd-looking pink cube. A huge thank you for that. I hope that you won't stop here and we'll continue to see more of your work.

Rock on and Merry Christmas!

[p0seidon]

that is easy just xref the idle anims from the zerkers and add them to the chaos termie.

[King_Tiger]

Good work here...just wish my Attribute Editor wouldn't keep crashing! But I shall perservere...if only to see those quality tusks ingame :bandit:

[p0seidon]

Q: I am now working on a chaos sorceror in termie armour could we include it?

And after that dire avengers

[WeAreLegion]

can someone explain how do I implement these in the game! I installed new mod tools for the first time and I am a total noob with this atribute editor in which Medes says I must create chaos terminators and set the animator fies! but like I said I dont know how to use Atrbute editor so please can someone explain!

I tried and had no luck! :!: :steam: :steam: :steam: :steam: :!:

[newghost]

maybe medes would be so kind as to release the LUAs and other files at DoWfiles?

[Jinxter78]

While you are at it, can you make the terminators look less like gorillas? With thicker legs and shorter arms?
:mdance: :bandit:

[medes]

Revere the chosen elites of the chaos gods

Chaos Undivided Icon Bearers





I'll include the LUAs for this one

[p0seidon]

I am going to build some dire avengers today and they will be done tommorow after that terminator chaplain.

UPDATE!!!!

It is an sergeant with home made storm bolter.

[Typhoon GX]

:jaw: This is some awsome work here in this thread.

[Kjon]

This is what i love to see, awesome work here guys. Stunning

[bloodthirster90]

i dont believe it...they've worked some magic...any chance of termie captains, libbys, chappys?

[Brother Santos]

With new tools is much easier to change stuff inside OE like fx and sounds:



Oh and don't forget guys to rebuild smoothing groups

[p0seidon]

You want an termie captain?

Coming right up after the dire avengers and termie chappie.

[Kjon]

Can i make a list...?
and I'll help, right after i get Max exporting correctly

[p0seidon]

Yeah sure make an list.

EDIT:

W.I.P. Dire avengers:moose:

[WeAreLegion]

Nice!

noob question: where in the atribute editor do I find a line where I set the building from which my termies should be built? help!

[Murka]

Request:
SM Command Squad (including company champion and + banner carrier) + Termie Command squad (including termie banner carrier)

[Typhoon GX]

Request: Noise Marines

[WeAreLegion]

I had no trouble implementing icon bearers but cant get chaos terminators to work! I have managed to create a new terminator unit just like Medes said but they are normal sm termies! last time I tried changing trooper base from sm_terminator to chaos_terminator but then I get pink boxes ingame! please help! does this have anything to do with that texture share folder? (I copied in it terminator_unit.rsh and terminator_unit_default.wtp just like Medes said)

I have a great experience in photoshop and want to texture but I a total noob in mod tools! (and I have all patches and latest mod tools) :howdy: :howdy: :howdy: :howdy: :howdy:

[newghost]

will you include the "unit" choas termies? ""unit" being RGDs, models, animations, everything ingame needs" please medes man.

yo blacktemplar, are you gonna release that sarge soon? please

[Nevin]

The dire avengers thing needs to be a little shorter and more frigid, its too bubbley.

[p0seidon]

Ok thanks for that comment, but I don't have the avengers models (I don't play eldar).

And an termie command squad will take some time but can be done,

Cause I need to make an different model for every character.

And the sarge will be released after I make some other edits for him (dual plasma replacement for the plasma pistol and some FX).

And putting him in mk8 armour.

[KuRtCoS]

Requests/suggestions:

Typhus!
Chaos Termie Icon Bearer
Daemonettes!
Plague Zombies(or mutants from Lost and the Damned)
Chaos Land Raider!
Tzeench Flamers!
Dark Apostle(chaos chaplain from Word Bearers)
Chaosy versions of IG models(someone at a LatD mod will be grateful I guess)

[WeAreLegion]

ok I managed to get those termies ingame but they are all pink except for the Medeses upgrades (spikes....ect.)

so what do I have to do to get those termies have textures? (like im previous posts)

Edit: I have figured it out! np! named the folder wrong! :Slap:

[Kjon]

Chaos Dread WIP. Working on Texture... If someone has a Chaos dread texture it would be appreciated if i could borrow it.



Next - Space Marine Veterans

[WeAreLegion]

if someone can send those textures so I can open it in Photoshop I will make all the textures you want and then you can convert them for mod tolls! I have 5 years experience in photoshop! ...but not in moding!

All requests for new TT-based DoW models are here:

No other grandeur list! Muhahahah! Alot from that list is done or being done.

Someone did an awesome Chaos Dread (one with the long gangly arm which looks VERY COOL) but it was never completed. That Chaos Dread is shown in the above list... Definitely needs to be redone.

[medes]

Level Up!!!!!!!!!!

Medes has learned

Vertices weight and smooth grouping abilities.

Heres some termie lovin for all you Khorne luvers out there

World Eaters Terminator




comes complete with sync kills and chaos effects

will be uploaded in a moment
check the first page for download links

Ya know, it be really cool if someone can come up with some good lookin UIs for these units. Coz i don't really like reusing the same ones too many times

Now i'm starting work on noise marines.
Any Idea on what effects i could use for their sonic weapons?

[Nevin]

This threads coming along quite nicely, all you guys gotta do though, is find a better file host. The current one isn't good.

[medes]

I know, but i think i'll keep using rapidshare for single unit for now.
Wait around till reach five units, and i'll upload an 'enhanced codex models pack' on DOWFiles

[p0seidon]

Medes, does fix whe work for you?

cause the terminator in chaplain armour is done and I only need to fix the whe cause it keeps giving an pink box ingame cause it won't work for me.

And I can make some icons.

And do you mind if I make some extra weapons for your termie (I.E. reaper autocannon).

[medes]

I don't use fix whe. just convert termie whe, then change the name and delete the SGM. Xref termie animations to the new file. export your ref and it should make a brand new SGM and whm for you. Then use OE and open your ebp, make any adjustments you need, then save and quit. Once you quit it should burn a whe file for you.

[/QUOTE]And do you mind if I make some extra weapons for your termie (I.E. reaper autocannon).[QUOTE]

Just mod to your hearts content

[Typhoon GX]

Wow. Your modeling skills are good as Maestro's. And the Noise Marine gun effects might be like the Eldar gun effects.

[newghost]

"chaplain in terminator armour" fixed it for you, BTW i want that unit ASAP TEMPLAR. ^_^

[Kjon]

Medes has learned

Vertices weight and smooth grouping abilities.

Where may i learn this knowledge...?

[KotCR]

Ya know, it be really cool if someone can come up with some good lookin UIs for these units. Coz i don't really like reusing the same ones too many times

Hmm...not sure about for the other units, but if you check the UK Games Workshop website, there's an articles on converting the plastic Space Marine Terminators.

Within the article is a section on converting plastic Space Marine Terminators into Khorne Terminators, complete with photos of the finished conversions, all painted and everything.

Perhaps you could make an icon for those Khorne Termies using them? Would probably only require a little bit touching-up to make them look less model-like.

EDIT: Okay, found the page- Khorne Terminator Conversions .

[p0seidon]

yeah,, but the model keeps getting an pink box ingame and the model works in the OE.

screenie,, the model still needs lots of tweeking and will be released after it works ingame.

[Typhoon GX]

So this will be part of a mini-mod? Along with your SH tank and the Dire Avenger?

[WeAreLegion]

Medes what do you think about these? I have just done the basic texture, I need to smooth it a little and work on trims some more! I realy wanted them to look old and scarred by war and I thing I will lighten the eyes more!
