Very nice. do you have a thread for the marines.. i love the pre horus designs for marines. you got a link to the mod page im about to do some DOW models for my reel. if they could use some id gladly shift it over to somethign they need. thoe only thing i would say about the tank is you could probabl;y lose a few polys on that domed turret.. esp right near the top gets a bit crowded

As 'fluff warden' and 'customer' of Lica for this model i must say i'm very pleased with it how it has evolved so far. He really sticks to the refs i furnished him with and he's taken pains to respond to my merest feedback (yes, nitpicker i am ). Great job and great dedication.

This is an epic model that'll vertainly have players go 'Woah, i want one!', mate, no mistake.

The main gun seems a bit low poly and square, compared to the rest of the tank details :S not sure if its like that on the model though.

Nailed it

@ tkaza: this is only to follow the model specs for Dawn of War:
- small arms barrels/muzzles = 5-sided cylinders
- armour cannons/very heavy weapons = 6-sided cylinders

Believe me, when smoothed correctly and textured it doesn't show as 'square'. Look here, from the original game (i'm too lazy to take screens this morning ):

Besides, the contrast between the main turret and the main cannon accentuates this blocky impression since the turet is very rounded.


Note: i'll edit my post later with higher res screenshots.
