Maybe they can be used for security forces or regular ground soliders (in Hallfight we have seen space marines).

I'm thinking perhaps a reskin of the white ones with a different head.

This one? All you would have to do is change it's mask (I think.) Not sure how to do that yet though.

What about a Vasudan Marine? I assume he/she might look like a more heavily-armored pilot, maybe?

I think the HL2 guys could work if their helmets were different.

Possibly. I'm not sure yet. Would a Vasudan wear battle armor, or would they go around fighting like they normally look?

Snail, where the ginger funk did you get that image from????

You don't go into battle naked... unless you're Celtic. In which case, you get to paint yourself blue  !

I assume Vasudans are pretty tough (as demonstrated by the "Terran pilot vs. Vasudan" clip), but they still need to carry equipment. Not to mention also that bullets/lasers/large balls of plasma/etc. are often sharp, fast, or volatile (explosive)... Sorry for the pointed joke, but I'd imagine that Vasudan troops would indeed wear such protection  .

Not sure actually. It's from Volition. Might be one of the extras from the defunct Descent-Network site.

I guess a few unarmored Vasudans would be walking around if they were caught by surprise, but if they're marines I'm pretty sure they'd have armor of some kind.

[dragonsniper]

Any clue to what kind of armor? I never saw them wearing any in the .ani files or in the FS2 cutscenes (need to go through the FS1 ones now I guess.)

[Snail]

That's because we've never seen any Vasudan marines.

I imagine it might be similar to their flightsuits. See the "Command Briefing" cutscene from FreeSpace 1. There are a few Vasudans in the background

[dragonsniper]

Thanks. I assume this is the correct one... cool armor, or whatever you want to call it.

That's the stuff! (now where the heck is the cream filling?)

Now if it's just "beefed up" a little with some additional plates, etc., you should have a nasty surprise in store for those foolish GTA Roughnecks. If plates are an option, I'm almost thinking that they might be similar in appearance to the Horus' external plating... at least the HTL Horus. Perhaps it's time to whip out the sketch pad...

Na. I can't draw to save my life. If you want to sketch something out though, go right ahead.

I'd be more than happy to give it a stab, but I'm not terribly good at doing things that look both freeform and hi-tech. But heck, I never will be if I never try, so what the hell. I'll start by adapting WH40k Eldar armor to Vasudan physiology (minus the absurd helmets) and go from there. Hell, the Wraithlords already have the same basic shape.

I don't like the idea of Vasudans wearing super-clunky armor. We'll see where this goes.

[dragonsniper]

Go right ahead. Hoping to see the outcome soon.

[Snail]

Since this is the Great War...

That Vasudan could work... Probably better for a pilot than a marine, but blah.

[dragonsniper]

Still, thanks for the art. All I would have to do is beef up the armor on the Vasudan and it may work as a Marine...

[Dilmah G]

Give it some pwetty cowours.

[Colonol Dekker]

Desert camo no longer required. Lol.
