Title: This is what happens when nobody stops me booting up trueSpace!!
Post by: Killfrenzy on September 13, 2003, 09:21:21 pm

Someone ought to stop me doing this......I said I might do more Battlefleet Gothic stuff, so I did.

May I present the Chaos Iconoclast class Destroyer:

(http://www.boomspeed.com/killfrenzy/Iconoclast.jpg)

She's about 2.5km long and very much a WIP. For a start, the turrets are static, mainly because if I ever get round to doing a Desolator, she's got a whole row of those round turrets.....and we all know what happens with too many 'spinny rotatey' bits! :D

Incidentally, if anyone can do better textures, be my guest. I can give you the current UV maps to change if you like, or the various 'parts' of the model to UV. :)

Comments/flames as usual, guys. :)

Edit - Can see it now. Nice model, complex, but yeah, slightly more complex texture'd be the go.

Thanks for the praise.

It's on Boomspeed, so it *should* link.......always has done in the past.....

I'd love someone to do better textures, because I can't. Simple as that......sorry.......

But I'm seriously thinking of being VERY stupid and making a Repulsive class Grand Cruiser today........or a Blackstone Fortress....

"Chaos Iconoclast class dsetroyer"
how do you come up with these snappy names ?!!:lol:
I think the textures look good in a cartoony stylee.

BFG names. Chaos ships have those kind of names.
Still can't see the pic :doubt:

try boosting your monitors contrast and brightness to like 100%.
Then squint.

:doubt:
can't see the pic as "the pic won't load".
As much as I love looking at superbright red crosses, I doubt it would help much.

Well, if anyone can tell me a working image host, then I'll upload it there. :)

Ah, I can see now.
Go for an imperial navy battleship, they rock :)

I take pity on thee, and thy webhosting. Allow me.

I also upped the gamma a little.

Thanks, GE. :)

I'll try and do both a Repulsive and an Imperial cruiser within the next few days.

Any request on which class?

*Scrambles to find the rulebook*

Post by: Nico on September 14, 2003, 06:02:25 pm

you can get the rules as a PDF file on the GW site.
As for a class, my obvious choice would be the Imperial Navy Emperor class battleship :D

The Emperor isn't a cruiser, is she? :D

the direct translation of the french version is " battle cruiser", so to me it's a cruiser :D

Post by: Killfrenzy on September 15, 2003, 07:08:42 am

She's a battleship in the UK. You really think that putting say a Gothic next to an Emperor and saying they're both cruisers would actually stand up to inspection? :D

BTW, has anyone considered a BFG MOD?

Would be cool, but it's way too large-scale for FS - most of the ships are huge, and a fighter wouldn't have much influence over events - it'd be Battle of Endor syndrome all the time. :(  The ships are freakishly cool, though. I've designed a heavy destroyer that takes some ideas from Imperial ship design, and it looks very cool - just need someone to model it.;)  Any takers?

EDIT: Ooh, just had a thought: with those textures, the Iconoclast model would look pretty sweet if you ran it on cell-shading mode in FSO - they're pretty simple, so it'd look really good! Give it a try...

That's a thought......t'would make texturing easier.......
