It's a bloody tank!

[Crusad3r91]

Well, hello there!
Remember those two gravtanks me and Mechanical Man made? Well, we decided to make another tank shortly after... unluckily we delayed it A LOT but, nonetheless, we've kept working on it.
Still not finished, requires some mesh finalizing and animations, but here it is:

The Imperial Guard Leman Russ!

Reference

Old Mechanical Man's Leman Russ

A teamcolor skin will be avaiable shortly after release (which will hopefully be soon).
Comments and constructive critics are welcome! =D

I hope I will remember how to do animated textures again

 

[anarchianbedlam]

You have done a truly spectacular job on this one. Good job dude, i cant wait to see the animations

Hmm, the texture is great, the pipes are well made on the back, the size of the tank is good.
For the first i noticed 2 things, other is my oppinion and the other is either me or just a mistake or for a reason:
1: I think the side gun pipes should be abit longer (i might be wrong since i havent seen anything about WH40K in ages)

2: I noticed a minor thing in the picture, the one on left down: should the guns pipe on the left side to be like that, i mean, like being over the side of the area?

Meh, i put more things here what i like in it:
1: The main gun is absolutely amazing, really well made and just the right size of a real Leman Russ.
2: It is pretty well detailed overall, the light on the front, the 'dirt' looking pieces on the texture/skin, The side guns and so on.
3: It was a good thing you noticed to add the 'skull' in the boxy area next to the pipes in the rear, might not be easy to be seen ingame later when it is finished, but it is great nevertheless.

Overall: Great texturing, Well made, very well detailed.
For now i would rate it a 4/5 (dont ask about the rating, im used to rate everything )

1- Perhaps a little bit but I find it good enough as it is now.

2- Yep, we got to fix that.

And thanks everyone for the comments! =D

You can always ask for help.

I did the TeamColored skin yesterday, here it is:

 

[Fimbus]

Somehow I like the non-tc version better

 

[Crusad3r91]

Don't worry, the model will come with the non TC skin. =)
This one is just for those complaining about the normal skin not having TC. =)

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think the TC ones should still have that tan-ish color

 

[Crusad3r91]

Like this?

The result is very good, anyway, I might use this pattern instead.
Thanks for the suggestion! =)

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah :}

 

[Devine]

I think the skins should be more saturated ... I mean ... look at the ref and then look at the skins ...

 

[Just_Spectating]

the current one is more warcraft style, so its okay.

If you gonna use TC you should use that one. =)
Looks best.

have it so the edges are a bit worn and the paint has worn off and you can see the metal underneath. leman russes are one of the oldest battle tanks of the imperium, so its best if they look that way. it actually looks really nice, although i feel it should be elevated higher. it seems to hug the ground too much at the moment, but that might just be me.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

you know after you guys are done making thins, you could then change it a bit and make a hero version of a leman russ, a tank ace.
just a bigger or twin linked gun and a dozer blade at the front. just a thought

 

[Ghost765]

or with just a commisar on top. and hero glow. instead of a leman russ, he should be riding atop a Baneblade...yeah...or maybe a Stormsword i think its called.

 

[Deleted member 177737]

Or maby a nuke on the back with lazerz, and a gnome cannon (Jk lol)

 

[Crusad3r91]

Thanks for the comments!

Command tanks are usually Vanquishers (longer barrel cannon, much higher penetration and firepower), so we may do that for an hypothetical Tank Ace... although we must first convince MechMan to finish the basic Leman Russ!

 

[Mechanical Man]

I almost animated it, I'm just waiting skrab to tell me some things about texture animating, since that tutorial on wc3c by jigrael is totally useless, incomprehensible and lacking.

 

[skrab]

I'm here

 

[Mechanical Man]

I think I finished it, only portrait left, but I think I will do it hobo way.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Well, it's officially out, lads! Go take a look at it here: Leman Russ.
Have fun! =)
