Uhhh, the new(ish) marine captin model seems to be handling his storm bolter fine, he's just in power armour (or artificer armour if ya wanna spen another 50 pts <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> )  </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> 
Er isnt that his bolt pistle?
It is on my models at least, hes got a banner, chainsword and bolt pistle. Maby I just missed him or is he in a single packet?

Anyway, I'v re-sized the back part and moved the handle (does anyone really want a trigger cause it means more polygons <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> ), I'v made the clip more currved and fixed a few probelms you cant see. Oh and to cut polygons, I cut one nozzle out and stratched the other to replace it (the skinner can just make it appear as if there are two). Short of actually making every single indent and the egal stick out it's done!

So anyone want to skin it AND/OR animate it?

Forgot the file and pic!
Ok 1stly I increased the polys to 420 so add the curve at the back.

The Pic

Rellix · April 2003

Cant seem to do things today so its in a milkshape format if anyone wants it in another saveable format let me know.

Jamil · April 2003

You can cut off a lot of polys if you reduce the number of stacks in your cylinders. You only need 1 stack.

Rellix · April 2003

Oh thanks, never noticed that!

J3T-TR00P · April 2003

<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>Rival Species is being released at the end of the month!</span>

W00T! Termies! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

breathstealer · April 2003

hey...dont you think bolters would kinda look out of place...and lasguns dont make good lmg replacements

Rellix · April 2003

Er maby you didnt read it properly!

The bolter is for the LMG
The Storm Bolter is for the HMG
The chainsword/power fist is for the knife

Just check, I'm sure youl find the rest else where in this topic.

Again is anyone willing to skin my stormbolter?
Oh and will anyone animate it?

Archzai · April 2003

Delarosa has hosted so much new stuff

and i DONT SEE MY BLACK WARHAMMER MODELS YET!!! >.< NOOOO

Rellix · April 2003

Well, rather than complaining, you could PM the guy the posted the screeni or you could learn to do it yourself (check out modling 101).
Also, I'm off on holiday on Friday and so will be unable to finish my model when I get back Iv got exams for a month so its on hold.

Did anyone else notice this being the 2nd most replied topic on this forum?

Rellix · May 2003

I'll start to continue after next week thursday!
Did anyone notice a chain sword floating about, I'm sure I saw one somewhere.
I think I'm just gonna e-mail the rival species team and ask if we can convert their weapons.

ArgOnatH · May 2003

no point XILLER, ive already asked Bahl ( lead modeler ) he sez no. but if u can get the to say yes, go for it

/shameful bumpage of an old thread

Rellix · May 2003

I really dont mind continuing work on my own model.
It just occurd to me that it would be much faster.

Still the chainsword was floting around somewhere un-competed tho.

sheena_yanai · May 2003

bahls model suck.. rival species suck.. and their sounddesigner should get castrated and hanged up high.. i think this doods never read any of the warhammer books... if so they must know how the weapons work...
the bolter in rival species is nothing else than a very slow firing machinegun.. in warhammer a bolter is described as a nearly recoilless weapon that fires rocket propelled explosive bolts.. the same for all other bolt weapons.. looks like they have designed the weapons and effects out of their minds... never looked in one of the databooks or novels.. just a bunch of doods who liked the model..and wh40k pictures around...wow..this pictures are cool..lets make a mod.. the sound of the weapons are ugly..the chainsword is sweet... the cybots too... but i dont really have a wahammerish feeling playing rival species.. i hoped it was more than a team deathmatch game with some capture the flag variants..

Rellix · May 2003

I thought it was kinda boring just capture the object.
Still its only beta so maby it will get better.

Still I love reading that extra info in the codex and rule books. Just made it seem so cool in my head. And the artwork in the books is just soo cool.

sheena_yanai · May 2003

that mod is not even beta...

i tell u something... the rival doods wasnt not able toaccomplish that mod in the deadline they have set up for them self... thats why they have released that piece of crap.. i bet this mod takes another 3 or 4 month to get into beta stage....

this mod is just a very lil bit of coding..and lots of custom models slapped togeter... its almost like a model replacement pack for hl dm...

Rellix · May 2003

I noticed that, it was basiclly a modded version of TFC, run in get the object run back out, only thing is they changed the models, sounds and maps. It has potential, it wont make it tho.

Still my registerd copy of Milkshape gave up so I'm borring stuff from a friend till it works again. So lets hope I get the bolter done.

Oh did you ever release that bolt pistol.

Archzai · May 2003

if im not wrong... not too long ago... some guy had no idea wut a chain sword was but made the model and it look even better

CrouchingHamster · May 2003

No idea if it was ever finished, but there it is.

CaptainPanaka · May 2003

can't.... let..... topic.... die.... ARGH..... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

sanguis_ba · May 2003

With the somewhat recent release of the <a href='http://www.rivalspecies.com' target='_blank'>Rival Spieces Public Beta</a>, there are TONNES of WarHammer models already finished for the converting. Storm bolters, chainswords, Chainaxes.. Power fists, Servo Arms, Autocannons, Shuriken Catipults (Heh I know, Eldar.. blech) flamers, heavy flamers.. Las cannons.. Bolt Pistol, Bolters, Heavy bolters.. Also the Terminator armour <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

It's a playground for the WarHammer 40k fanatic who also enjoys converting models. Also all the models have marine arms already.. So would just be a matter of skinning them. Personally Blood Angels armour is my favourite (Heh how can one tell? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>) but The black Templar defaults are very nice too.

The Chaos gear doesn't really fit in, especially since Chaos focuses on the fight vs the Imperium of Man...

Terminator for HA
Bolt Pistol for the pistol

For an interesting twist.. Instead of having one weapon with different arms..

For the HMG:

Heavy Armour: Terminator with Autocannon
Light Armour: Normal Space Marine armour with Storm Bolter

For Knife:

Heavy Armour: Terminator with Powerfist
Light Armour: Normal armour with Chainsword/combat knife

For Gren.Launch:

Heavy Armour: Terminator with Heavy Flamer
Light Armour: Normal Armour with Light Flamer

Hmmm.. Not sure for the shotgun though.. Maybe a Las Cannon? I dunno..
