SciFi/Fantasy Unit Graphics

Awesome units!

[Timoleon]

I could whip up a set of these guys too, if anyone is up for it.
But I've heard their legal department are a little itchy about fan art, I am a little skeptic about that.

To be sincere, I almost always have a project in mind when I draw something, I just lack the time nowdays to sit down and finish it (work, family, the crisis, you know, RL). I just hope someone with more time will find it useful and pick it up.

But if you master map maker can make a map of western Immoren, I will have units and rules ready and posted.

I know what you mean about RL limiting your time (in both good and bad ways!). I have found a big map of Immoren and it looks doable, but whether I would have time to do a decent job I can't say for sure right now. I have nothing much to do at work this evening so I will print the map off and have a look.

This clearly isn't the Warhammer world. Which one is it and what's the basic story?

Its a pretty fresh mix of steampunk and sword & sorcery.
Steampunk means not so much divergence from the civ vanila techtree.

As for the map, I had a great inspiration! I imported the map on PSP, layered, overpainted different layers of terrain over the original map on psp, merged them, looks great. Resized, square-gridded and now I am detailing and adding rivers box by box. It will be complete soon, I hope.

Qestion answered....
I should not post when I have just woken up!

Exactly, Paint Shop Pro. 8 must be ancient by now. But its very useful. You can also look up Catfish's guide on how to use it to make unit graphics.

Is the Ultramarine Terminator symbolic of their lawyers?

Great. I was willing in spirit to make a map but the flesh is weak. I'm glad you have found a simple way to get it done

I couldn't help myself, I just had to fool around a bit with those fantastic graphics. I don't know if fliers have any place in the Warmachine universe at all, though.

Porn site attack!

OMG! A porn site has taken over Apolyton!

We Scenario league liches have been around forever, we must send an army of the undead to restore the good old times! Lets claim the birthright of the ancient forumer!

Where's my necromancy for dummies copy, (damn!).. Aha! Shuffle shuffle...
(Raise the dead forums spell!)

Out of the sites pitch black, inky chtonic and extra spooky darkness, here they come!



Noobie brains! Aaargh!!!

Seriously now, please try to restore the sites functions first, upload links, image previews etc. and then talk about aesthetics...

[McMonkey]

Whoa! Those are some wild Egyptian ghouls!

Hopefully now the visuals are sorted they will crack on with the attachments and stuff. I guess there would have been no point in having attachments for a site everyone had abandoned

[Timoleon]

Ultramarines



Yeah, it is such a pity, so many years of contribution thrown out to free server space for civ5...
(Of course I am just being a little cynical)

[torbk]

Every old image.. every bit.. is missing..

*sigh*

Oh, nice Land Speeder by the way.

[Timoleon]

Dont be sorry, why?
Well, frak it, I can just re-upload everything I 've made.

Seeing the stunning new Byzantine units by Gareth inspired me to borrow a few and do some
tweaks for the two Bitterfrost scens I have in developement. Naturally, I won't release anything
using these until the official "DAROE" scen is done and out there...

But here is a peek at what is coming up in "Battle of Zarklaw" and "Thunder on the Tundra II"...
