He said, he would be back, and now he is! Chromeangel made him return with his modelling skills. So go, enjoy the mean machine in all its glory below:<br />  [nail]models/nc/warriors/nail/nc_warrior_01.jpg[/nail]<br />  this beast of a metal warrior will be the standard trooper for the upcoming species of the Necrons. So with Chromeangels latest progress, they basically only lack a commanding class to get implemented.<br />

We are coming along nicely . Today im showing off one of ChromeAngels latest good deeds ( or evil deeds if you want to put it that way  ) ). Its is the world eaters plasmapistol. A weapon that will be used in conjunction with a powerfull chainaxe ( which im gonna show off some days later ). this screenshot actually doesnt really do justice to the actual ingame model. it lacks a new feature, that valve included with HL1 for STEAM: trasnparent model textures. The model actually has a second mesh over some of its parts that immitates a glistering surface through an additive rendermode. You will have to wait till we release our next version, to get to see that. Until then, enjoy the screenshot below:  [nail]models/we/wargear/nail/we_plasmapistol_01.jpg[/nail]

recently, I finsihed a new model for the Black Templar Terminator weapons. it is the powerfist, that we use in combination with the assaultcannon, stormbolter and heavy flamer. the rework has been doen, because Colonel Straken from 1st. Catachan mentioned that the old version didnt really look like the original model. especially because it isnt round enough. well, here you can take a peek at a well rounded new version of it . <br />  [nail]species/bt/wargear/nail/bt_powerfist_01.jpg[/nail]

as avid forum users or regular visitors of gamag.org already know, bloodyharry did finish his necron tomb spider a while ago, while i was working on the input that we recieved from the 1.166 release. i didnt get to update you on his progress. however, now is the time to let you peek at is damn nice work   take a closer look at it below:<br />[nail]species/nc/vehicles/nail/nc_tombspider_01.jpg[/nail]<br />this model will be used for necron vehicle class  which might be a very interesting elemnt of gameplay  my current thoughts wander around something like a mobile respawn location and a mass healing unit. but thats very early stuff. it will take quite some time until we will see this beauty in the game.<br /><br />on another note, just today i finished moving over our page to the new location. the last step was moving the forum. sadly i was not able to move over the forum data as well. so that means, you wont find the old posts on the new forum  on the positive side  avatars and signatures are allowed again . so as long as you dont infringe copyrights, you are rather free in your choice

<br />
lets start off with landingzone by dark marine. he has been around for quite a while already and now he finally managed to enter the developement team. you mgiht remember his first and second effort city_conflict and death_valley. i really liked these maps and they played great. just some technical issues kept them from becoming official.
however, with his latest effort, the landingzone, he managed to steer around such issues and produced a true beauty. his work has been supported by blood angel, who produced the nice models that he used in his maps. enjoy some screenshots below and find more of them in the LEVELS section.<br />
<a href='../levels/levels/landingzone/rs_de_landingzone0000.jpg'><img src='../levels/levels/landingzone/nail/rs_de_landingzone0000.jpg' border='0' height='135' width='180' /></a><a href='../levels/levels/landingzone/rs_de_landingzone0014.jpg'><img src='../levels/levels/landingzone/nail/rs_de_landingzone0014.jpg' border='0' height='135' width='180' /></a>
<br />
we shall continue with the latest map by korkonius, that he called rust. you will find this name fitting when you take your first steps in his creation! after his first effor on the team which was called fringe, he produced a bigger and in my opinion more playable map. this time it is alaitoc eldar against iron warriors and apart form certain situations, where the combattants stare at the nice features of the level, it shall be a hard fight for them in the locations that you can preview below:<br />
<a href='../levels/levels/rust/rs_ca_rust0006.jpg'><img src='../levels/levels/rust/nail/rs_ca_rust0006.jpg' border='0' height='135' width='180' /></a><a href='../levels/levels/rust/rs_ca_rust0007.jpg'><img src='../levels/levels/rust/nail/rs_ca_rust0007.jpg' border='0' height='135' width='180' /></a>
<br />
so now on to the last one, a creation of my very own. ( and yeah im proud of it. ) this new map is called fortress and it is settled in a canyon, where black templars engage iron warriors who have captured an imperial surface-to-orbit cannon to avoid the destruction of their orbiting vessels. the special feature of this map is the dome under which the cannon is stored. you just have to take a peek at it below:<br />
