Here's a special close-up of it for this forum too -


Thanks to Alan Mace for providing the Model & textures.

What do you think?

[Stim]

Dunno, looks kinda square to me And palms could be bigger...

[Zany Reaper]

Not my model, & it's too late for any more model changes anyways.

Why, don't you like it?

[Stim]

I didn't tell I don't like it, it just could be lil' better It's nice after all!

[WackyModder]

HOLY s**t! beautiful work, zany! will you be making a necron destroyer lord too?

[Zany Reaper]

I'll only call up plans to make a Destroyer lord if there isn't one in Dark Crusade.

[WackyModder]

how do u know that there isnt a necron destroyer regular in DC?

[Stim]

Because they won't use mounted heroes...

[Zany Reaper]

Huh?

CLR told me that Necron Destroyers & Heavy destroyers will feature in dark Crusade, no mention of a destroyer lord yet though.

No mounted heroes in DOW - that's true. Maybe they only wanted the heroes on their own.

[Mike]

heh hey ed tis Mike thought id give a heads up. anyway those destroyers are going to be nigh on uber fast (for necrons) in the Necron Mod we're doing, although i dont know how they are going to be in the ttru

[WackyModder]

the necron mod with the lord and the immortals and all the new buildings was simply beautiful, btw mike. Those destroyers are gonna bring down the roof once they are released!

[Minaithnir2005]

sweet destroyers guys, dow dont have mounted heroes because heroes were originally designed to increase use and performance of infantry as infantry is always second best to tanks in fights. so they havnt made any mounted ones to date to try and keep balance

[Zany Reaper]

Oh I see about the mounted issues then.

Mike - you're here! I never knew you knew about our forum!

I've sent you the destroyer files, I hope you know how to organise them!

I'm gonna have to make the TTRU mod destroyers limited. They are Insanely powerful.
I think I'll have to make both variants tier 3 units so that people won't spam the enemy with them. A squad cap on normal destroyers too coz they're fast, & can destroy any tank or building quickly in the game - even Land raiders fall victim here!

Heavy destroyers aren't quite as useful, but are still good at killing big monstrous gribbly things.

[Mike]

in the necrons mod they need add-ons. the warriors are good all round but not specaliased so they dont need one. are you animating the scarabs? i mean its them, the deciver and the wraiths that still have proxies and the scarabs should have been done a long long time ago

[WackyModder]

if u ask me, the warriors need new animations to make it look like their moving faster so that we can increase their speed finally without it seeming that their walking slow yet their moving much faster.

[Zany Reaper]

I don't wish to animate any more Necron things until Dark Crusade is released.

I think that what we have is enough. Dark Crusade will give us all of these units anyways.

However, the one thing that I will animate is the Necron Pylon. If you can find someone to model & texture one for me, then I'll sure as hell animate that.
My reasons for the pylon are that it's the most unlikely thing to appear in Dark Crusade, coz the Monolith is already the Necron Super-unit there.

Besides, it can be used to combat the Eldar's Scorpion Grav tank that the TTRU mod has right?

[WackyModder]

thudmeizer aint jus an ai coder, yknow. Hes a modeller and a texturer too.

[Zany Reaper]

Oh. Well, if Alan refuses, then I'll ask Thuddy instead.
Thanks for the info.

Any other suggestions or concerns before I close this topic?

[WackyModder]

whoa! b4 u close it, dont u think u should release like a beta or something of the destroyers 1st?

[Zany Reaper]

I'm gonna send the betas off now. I hope they work, because they're not fully tested.
