Unit Preview: Vindicare Assassin

[Lulgrim]

What would I need to do to make the unit available from the HQ? Spent some time playing with the textures in Photoshop. Would like to see if they're presentable or absolute rubbish first, if Gray doesn't mind.

My main rule: if I upload something - it's for public use. You are free to modfy any textures or meshes I made. You do not need my permision to improve the model. Just mention me in credits you you appreciate my work.

Thanks man. Thought I'd ask first, I dont want to step on your toes and I appreciate your work. Would you prefer I posted about the textures here or in a seperate thread?

There are two topics about Vindicare assassin already. No need to multiply it more.

Now that the Assassin is almost done, we hopefully can start working on the new Ordo Malleus Inquisitor - Commander for GK

[Forestradio]

They can't add another commander for SM because there isn't a fifth commander slot.

Check out my GK commander thread on Balance Discussion titled "Purifier Brotherhood Champion."

Any way to divide GK (or Ordo Malleus) from SM to a dedicated faction?
I had plans for Tau and Necrons...

Not right now, although someone on RN was working on a solution (it's rather complicated and apparently requires rebuilding the UI or such).

AFAIR, faction choose option is allways a scroll-down menu. Never a button or an icon. If It's so, it's an API solution, not UI.

[Lulgrim]

Not so simple I'm afraid.

[Orkfaeller]

I allways asumed you could just put the Demon Hunter Inquisitor ( just as an example, whatever ) as a forth commander for another race, one thats pretty sure isnt going to get a new commander, of their own ( Orks or whatever ).

It wouldnt be the most elegant solution, but the easiest one I would have expect.

gk are basically half the ordo malleus. what we don't have are hereticus and xenus. either of which would work fine taking an ig slot.

Thats why a Malleus Inquisitor makes sense. Grey Knights are not going to join an Alienhunter expidition.

what we don't have are hereticus

We do inform of the IG Inquisitor. And, sadly, I dont see anyone doing Sisters.

and xenus. either of which would work fine taking an ig slot.

The Ordo Xenos has barely anything outside the DeathWatch. Beside, a Alien Hunter Inquisitor leading an Army of proffessional Deamon Hunters is just nonsensical, IMHO

Sooooo should I do that portrait for the Vindicare Assassin ?
Just finished the Paladins ^^ Hope I'll have time for the Purifiers too today

[Dark Riku]

I think you should yes. If I'm not mistaking Caeltos wanted to implement the guy asap.
Why don't you just ask him these things on steam? ^^

Dont have his Steam adress
But either way, I'll do it today/tomorrow then ^^

[Lulgrim]

Portrait would come in handy, yes. We can have a playable VA out very soon.

Btw, I also lack the Exitus rifle, I'm using a Scout rifle atm.

[Kallak]

Hi guys,
Just started to play on Elite mod....
So excited to see the assassin taking place on my Grey Knight forces!
Hope soon I'll have time to join some games with you!

Hope you guys like it :3

About darkening the textures. They've been darkened in photoshop, but the models appear pink in game. I don't have anytime to fix/figure that out until xmas break starts :/. exam hell time has started, and it's not like I had much time to begin with. Sorreh

Generate mipmaps when saving the file.

[Kallak]

This is a really good work! Well done for the design and for Adding a great unit on the GK army
A "little bit darker" would be wonderful!!!

Right, so I did generate originally. Using nvidia's dds plugin for photoshop. I'm unclear what format to save in it (obviously .dds) the default is RGB 8 bpp | 256 colors. I'm wondering if using a different option (DXT1 ,3 or 5) would do it.

Use DHX5. I use it and the textures work perfectly

[Flash]

No joy. Sigh. Model shows up black in the army painter, and pink in game. I get that the game isn't finding the texture, but I don't know why

[Ar-Aamon]

I think the Vindicare Assassin should detect infiltrated units. Otherwise they are a huge threat for him.

I use Paint.net for final conversion. Never was satisfied how Photoshop save files.

Could you send me the files please. I'll see if I have the same problem on my PC as well.

I hear his voice from DoW1 when I see him in Elite.

At some point he sounds like a chaos unit. Too bad we can't use these.
