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.

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.

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

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? ^^

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.

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.

This is a really good work! Well done for the design and for Adding a great unit on the GK army

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

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

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.

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