    I see commits going in for your Air Titan, can you describe how it differs from the Zeus in function and role?

    Half the time @stuart98 I just get an idea for a model then just do it without thinking of exactly how it will work. Working out exactly how it functions usually comes after through random discussion with the rest of the team. Probably not the best way to get units in but it's how I work, get an idea that I think is cool and work out the details later.

    Anyway in regards to that titan, just letting you know that I don't believe @KillerKiwiJuice has done the final textures yet, in its current state it just has the appropriate team colours and not the detailing.

    Anyway next up likely will be the tank titan. Also with the turtle looking bot I redid it due to it being hard to animate, looks a bit more like the walker which you mentioned looked similar to the fido.

    EDIT:
    The below images are super super early WIP things, nowhere near final look, just getting the shape worked out.
    Original version which I really liked but unfortunately is a pain to animate.

    Idea for the new version which will likely be a lot easier to animate (Still a long way to go work wise, the legs I will definitely be reworking, just ripped from the original). Main point of shwoing this is that I'm going to make the overall design a bit more AT-AT like. Heck everything on this model still has a way to go.
    [​IMG]
    The rings in the middle of both would animate to spin and contain an energy sphere much like the T2 Reactor. We are not 100% sure if it will end up being a boom of sorts, but it is likely. Either that or it'll lob energy bolts or something from the middle.

    New Bomber model? If so, is the old one available for use in other mods like the Grey Wizard is?

    I only slightly modified the bomber model when I retextured it. In fact it looks so similar that i'm surprised you noticed the difference. So if you use the "old one" people are going to think it was stolen from this mod.

    I noticed the difference because I'm just tracking your progress through github commits and the difference in build bar icons is fairly stark.

    k, thanks anyway.

    Oh yeah I can notice a big difference in the icons as well, probably because this one's lighting is better and has textures.

    If you really want to use it, ask @nicb1

    I think you're missing the point of the faction: were not trying to make equivalent units. We're trying to stay away from it actually.

    We don't have very many models left, it's still a lot of work for two modelers though.

    When I say equivalent units I mean in terms of build bar locations mostly.

    Name is not final. But now I know which unit it is (which is really hard to tell for some json files).

    This is what happens when your texture artist gets bored.
