Burning Legion Buildings

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.

Background Story


The Burning Legion is a vast, innumerable army of demons and corrupted races who seek to destroy all life. Sargeras the fallen titan created it with the purpose of destroying all Worldsouls in the universe in order to prevent the void lords from corrupting them, which would lead to the birth of a dark titan, a being of unspeakable evil that would utterly annihilate and consume the universe.
During the course of the Burning Crusade, the Legion was responsible for the annihilation of countless species and entire planets across the Great Dark Beyond, as it transcends all universes destroying their possible worlds. It has thrice invaded Azeroth and was only beaten back at a terrible cost. Much of Azeroth's history — including the First, Second, and Third War — was due to the Legion's influence. It can be said that the Legion is Azeroth's nemesis, since it caused the Great Sundering of Kalimdor, corrupted the orcs and sent them to invade Azeroth, created the Lich King, and was the source of most of Azeroth's scars.
This world will soon bow before the onslaught of the Legion.

The design of the Burning Legion building is indeed similar to the Decepticons on Cybertron, such as a machine of destructive technology and the embers of a furnace that are lit to bring terror to all corners of the universe in the name of Sargeras.

I like that the tower has 3 different upgrades. I wasn't initially planning on adding a new faction to my altered melee project, because I'm looking for buildings w/4 tiers, but I might actually be able to make use of that as a town hall instead of the stronghold model, to add a whole new demon faction to my project after all 😁
 
I LOVE These models, but I feel like they need just a BIT more obvious of teamcolor on some of them, and that they're a bit too... detailed of texture to polygons for me. But they're so good in terms of quality I might use them anyway...
Oh, yeah, they may have more TC for some buildings.
And a bit of variety in overall color palette. For example, dark-red colors of Antorus, fiery-orange, purple...
 
I think regarding my precious comment on Teamcoloring, I feel like I need to address what I meant regarding TC:

The Altar needs a bit more, maybe a TC Carpet on the Stairs and/or the Green Ring in it's center?

The Barracks may need something too, perhaps the diagonal wall-spikes on the corners could be TC? Maybe the lines along the towers on each side instead?

I was iffy on the "Dark Portal" but I suppose it's fine as is, my only suggestion would be to make the Golden Bands and Gem on the Skull be TC, that would be a LOT more in with WCIII's style of TC I feel and be pretty obvious.

Fel Crystal I feel just needs a tiny bit more... Perhaps the front two spiketips be TC where it's gold as is? Or the Crystal itself instead?

The Furnace is honestly fine, though if I was to add more, maybe to the Gem at the top of the Skull or the Golden Rings around the Back spikes?

Mage Tower grew on me, I feel it's fine.

The Shop I can see a very good place for the TC: The Top Hexagonal-Ring Brim on the Foundation. I feel that if that was TC-Colored Hexagon it would make it a lot more clear. I don't think it's too offensive as is, just a fear of some angles making the TC a bit harder to see due to particles, but even in stand work it'd be pretty clear even through the fire.
Though speaking of- I just noticed that one of the fires is missing, 3/4 of the corners are lit, and the fires have no "base" to stand on... Maybe moving the flames to be pointing out from the core to make it seem like it's exhaust? Or adding small Braziers? Just a small suggestion. If it's meant to be 3 fires, why is the back one in a corner instead of the convenient pocket behind the structure?

Stronghold/HQ I think is amazingly done.

Tower I think is amazing TC-Wise!
But I wish it had an open portal variant and/or a "Ball of Energy/Fire" Variant, because I could use that. Still amongst the best models here, and I find the guns variant fun.

The Workshop? I LOVE it! It looks amazing in general, but the TC is just right!
Only thing is that I'm mildly confused as to why it's saws are coming in and out of it... wouldn't we be seeing the saws running back and forth INSIDE of the cage??
