Dwarf Dreadnaught

I was aiming at a Steam Golem and I used a reference image I found online to some degree then it dawned on me that this was basically a warhammer40k dreadnaught for dwarfs so I went in that direction and even added a flamethrower, neato.

Edit: Added another version of the chaos dreadnaught that hopefully managed to distinct itself even further from the lighter one.

Edit: All updated and new rocket launcher variant.

Excellent custom models with a twist of creativity and great use of textures. Models work in-game and perform very well. Great job!

Same? If your question is lore related then that´s up to you. I created the darker one for my project for more evil sub-race of the dwarfs.

Edit: Oh Hell, I see what you mean, I must have added the same one twice. Fixed

By the way, took me sometime to realize you are showing 2 models, one with only darker skin other with lighter, because the lighter one that has its back facing to the viewer, at first glance it looked like a differently designed version of this Dreadnaught.

I really like these. They look very cool.
Would it be cool to have a different texture on the stone parts of the Chaos version to make it even more different?

I experimented a bit, nothing that made it look anything but darker or more metallic which in my opinion just made it unappealing. Threw golden beard on the "lighter" one and it was hideous. I am open to suggestions if you have a specific texture in mind.

Edit: Looks like I have to fix some texture stretch/wrap issues thingies anyway.

well, thats awefully nice, it's such a beautiful model...
but i wished it had some ambient effects too...
and the fact that it is all with in-game textures makes it so satisfying to watch...
bloody brilliant model... <3 <3 <3

Okay, I try to look for something.

EDIT: Check out the undead building textures. They might be something for you.

I have managed to find a good texture for the chaos one, finally. Took some work to mix and match. I wont be releasing that just yet as I want to replace the chaos version weapon with an axe, I also want to touch up on the textures on the lighter one and finally I have been looking at the warhammer dreadnaught to see what else I can do and I am gonna make a variant with a rockets for an arm instead of a flamethrower. I hope I will be finished before next week at least.

Edit: Updated the stuff to the stuff mentioned above.
