Default Re: My first Shipset, The Slaanesh, Need Feedback

Thank you all for the very rapid positive feedback. It’s great to get recognition and that sort of thing just keeps the creative fires lit.

And if you are not pumped up by the pictures yet, check this out, a Slaanesh Fleet ScreenSaver! 1015002417.zip This is an 800x600 bmp format and IMHO these ships look much better against a light background.

In reply to some of the very kind feedback...

Yes, I did the race pic. The first attempt looked like a pale Version of Neelix...This one looks more sinister.

The transports are flat for 2 reasons. My original concept of giant mile long transports looked good, but didn't format well into the 36 x 36 or 128 x 128 formats used by the game. The ones you see are something of a compromise between the original idea and the mechanics of the game. As to the flatness, I tried out different Versions of the medium transport with a x-pattern body, doubled the middle section and hung it underneath the main body, etc.. but none appeared that much larger or dramatic. The really long / flat Version conveys size yet works well in the square display format of the game.

Good comment on PD tech... I'll fix that.

Nope, don't play BFGothic, just 40k and WHFB.

Do the rest of Chaos in their own shipsets? Goodness sakes No! Well, at least no time soon. This little project has taken already too much of my time and my wife is now giving me "the look" whenever I decent into my man-cave in the basement late at night to crank these guys out.
