shiiK: This could still use some work. I noticed in-game that the arms, black part, appears very dark in contrast to the rest of the unit. You should increase the contrast slightly in this part (as in, make the bright parts brighter) so that the texture shows. You might want to reduce the blackness as well. In addition, you should increase the shading on the other parts to blend the two materials better together. I also still think you should add some detail to the shoulders. Some sort of decal would work.

shiiK: Sorry for taking so incredibly long to moderate this.

My main concern with this is the lack of depth. Add some highlight and shadows to make parts stand out. Drop the highlights if you want the surface to be dull. As it is right now, it looks like a grey-blue blob in game. Furthermore, you could add some more details to the shoulders, as they are what you mainly see in-game.

You know what, i'm not gotta steal over a footman job all the time so this is @Footman16 oppotunity here since Marine when done correct being solid work on its own.

The thing is the model intentionally to be sci-fi so looking like a grey blob is in their own thing and you can just treat it as neutral unit. Also if this still concern, just slap the team color glow under it. (don't even start on argue night time reasoning since all model are affected by it so no, cannot argue on night view unless it's too dark)

Edit: my comment also apply to the Team Color Version of that thing but i'm not gotta question on merging them since i think they are their own kind.

It is not my job to re-review old textures although I have decided that going back through older resources to give them a "fairer" shot would be worthwhile. However on the Hive anyone can, and indeed I would encourage everyone to review and give feedback on all resources, no matter how old.

Such as in this case, here because you have written a review I do not need to and can simply mark your comment as a review and use it to justify any changes I make in the moderation.
