Cheers, and yep there is, it'll be released along with all the other Chaos stuff very soon.
Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Night Lords and Wordbearers are all packed up so just three left to go (I have most of the models done just need to check over them and make a few updates)

We could consider changing the TCSM look for something more generic if there are options.

No its cool I've put together a new model for the TCSM with a bit nicer armour plus a loincloth thingy to make them look a bit closer to tabletop.
Not released yet as Orkfaeller was working on a retexture for them but I'm afraid it was a rather painstaking and unrewarding task so not sure how far along with it he is.

Just an update from me.
The banshee model will take a bit longer to finish because damn Photoshop crashed while saving and corrupted the file, which means I have to rework the texture from scratch.
I also solved a problem I've been having for ages. If you happen to bake textures in the future and start getting red, or any color really, dots while rendering, scale everything up and it will be fine. Stupid dow models are so small by default that computers get rounding errors while ray tracing.
Given the similarities between them and Krieg I thought i'd make use of some of the other models from Shumas pack...

A rune that doesnt exist in the lore. Completely made up by relic as far as I can tell. This is what they should look like.
So I threw a quick fix together.
Now Guardians, Avengers and Rangers should have their own, individual and true-to-lore runes.
Just unpack and drop the content into your ELITE folder.
It may be due to a fault in my computer, but I installed your fix and nothing happened. Is there anything I should know in particular before doing it?

Download the file from here, download button at the upper right corner.
The zip file contains a folder called "Eldar Rune Fix" ( or something similiar ),
Within that folder there is a "Data" folder.
Just copy this data folder into your ELITE_beta folder ( located under steam / steamapps / common / dawn of war II - retribution / Elite_beta ).
If you did it right, it will propably ask you to merge and/or replace existing files. Click yes to everything.
Dont hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.

I see, may be due to me extracting it to mods folder. Thank you, a very lore wise person myself.

Well, my machine died a while ago and I just now was able to afford new hardware. Still in the Process of recovering my files. Also, working on my diploma is eating up all my spare time, and has so for the last couple months.
I feel like an ass about it, but I'm just going to dumb all my unfinished stuff here, in case someone else finds something interessting enough to pick it up; as I dont see myself being able to work on any of these before next year or so.
I guess I'll upload a thing per day or so - most stuff is going to be unfinished or at the very least unpolished, feel free to do with it what ever you want, if you want.
Good to see you back for a bit man, plus gifts are always good.
People seem to be hankering after the mordians, so if you get around to it then I'm sure I could sort something with what you managed to get done on them.
Cheers

Will try to upload the Mordian stuff next then. Isnt a whole lot though. A Lord General ( 95% done ) and some half-way-there Mordian Ogryns. Maybe I got a version of the Conscripts without the suspenders, as stand-in Mordians.
Looking forward to hearing of more progress. The hard work you have put yourself through is really a sight to sore eyes.
I wonder if it would be possible to give "EPIC armor" of Baneblade some love, to make it have some more persona in it rather than just a big ass tank. With some more accessory items it would become more "notable" upon battlefield. (A statue of sorts on a rear side of the tank for instance or a pulpit upon the tower like Fortress of Arrogance, something that makes it more than JUST a Baneblade)
But that is just me

Thanks, but as I said last page, I wont be able to do any work on DoWII for the months to come, thats why I'm dumping my WiP projects here for others to continue them, if they want.
Awesome, don't happen to have the guardsman lying around either do you?
Like I originally said, this is just a mock-up made in photoshop, I make those before I actually start working on something new, basically concept art. Sadly, with the way the Guardsman textures are layd out, it wasnt possible for me to actually recreate this.

part of a catachan army skin pack, but sterling beat me to it. Also Includes: alternate textures for the bear pelt: a clawed fiend hide. New textures for the LG's Bolter, based on this- and a set of portraits.

Sweet, if he works fine with the Lord General animations then I'll swap my version out for him, this one is much better.

I think the Guardsman for Catachan Skin need some love. It's pretty meh.
I remember they where normal Guardsmen without sleeves or something similar, that was cool. I don't know why you change them.
EDIT I realise Orkfaeller skin is completely different from the one there is in Elite right now. His Guardsmen are the cool one.

Removing the ears left gaping holes in its skull, sooo thats as close as it gets.

I believe David offered to edit the cape to make it a bit more form fitting, but I dont know if he ever found the time. Still, I think the animations work out fine like this, but I never tested it outside the model viewer.
i got a few more Catachan pieces on the way, hope you dont believe I did them to replace your work or anything, as there might be some overlapping with stuff you allready did.
new camo pattern based on this or this uses the first and third colour slots, like the Catachan Devils themselves ( instead of the first and second like regular guardsmen )
