At least think up a different theme. Shadowrun is cool and all, but there are more awesome universes to explore. Copying Spark vs. Gav vs. Hazardous vs. Slipgate word for word is a bit.. meh.

It practically covers all the said speices and has alot of give way in each. Yes i know the 40k gets alot of penis stroking but it still has that huge variety like shadowrun while keeping itself far enough from the big fours work to stop any bellyaching.

I mean, yeah, there's some cool stuff in it, but don't you guys think it's just slightly overdone? Seriously now, do you guys actually want to see more space marines?
I was originally going to say, "40K? More like 40Lame". But...if this opens hard surface dudes to do some environment pieces, well why not. I wouldn't mind making a rifle...
I'm going to edit the first post with the updated rules and regs. Since we're doing the Warhammer universe as a whole, this should actually be just about as flexible as Shadowrun.
Awesome this gives me an excuse to go digging through my Drawer full of Warhammer figures. Chaos Marines ftw......evil little metal bastards requiring way too much super glue to stay together.
Anyways I guess I'll just adapt my Character idea that I had vaguely thought about to the 40k universe shouldn't be too difficult.
ya know.. 40k isn't THAT different from shadowrun really.
You have magic, technology, gothic atmosphere, wild races of fantasy lore, especially if you go back in the 40k fiction and include the squats.
Plus this would give you (yes YOU) the chance to change up the ZOMGSPACEMARINETANKMAN! design while still having a themeatic thread to hold onto.
No one says you HAVE to have shoulderpads the size of kilns to be a 40k marine.. it just is conventional.
If you're sick of standard 40k stuff, then use this as a redesign exercise.
Scooby, I can definitely relate. I see the need to change it up a little, though, and I think having access to both versions of Warhammer will make things just about as open as Shadowrun.
If we have decided on doing 40K, or warhammer in general, I must say that I lost a lot of my interest and ambition.
I was even 15mins into my first concept. And you made me stop.
So, sorry, I resign.
hmm, is the gore and nudity thing still in? it would be very un-polycount without those.
I'd like to direct your attention to this section of the new rules:
- Gore and nudity? The more the merrier. Keeping it tasteful would be cool, but not strictly necessary. Actual depictions of screwing should probably be kept to a minimum.

Really? Because this is like two bits away from being something within the Dark Eldar aesthetic.
Y'know if there was more reference material on the net I would sugest the Rackham worlds of AT-43 and confrontation, lots of ace characters....but I think that since they went broke most of the stuff has been pulled....this makes me sad.
as far as the theme goes. I was a little hesitant to join in with shadowrun. I dont really know the game and seeing the vid I wasn't very inspired tbh. Maybe i need to research t more.
But with the mention of doing 40K I was like...Fuck yeah! I've been meaning to do a vehicle for a while. maybe a rhino or something. Or if I do a character i'd probably try and do a space marine in a different style to typical 40K.
Anyway. You are never going to please all the people all the time.
Maybe the brief should be more like DOM WAR:
*Do future stuff with cool weapons and shit within these restrictions...blah blah blah...
personally im quite disappointed with the change in theme, warhammer is cool and all...
but really?
if its going to change themes randomly to something else, than i would suggest spending a little more time deliberating what everyone would like to do. it seems like one minute it was shadowrun, the next it was warhammer...
just my .02, ill keep my eye on the thread thought to see how the community does. good luck everyone
about the "you could make art without a competition" , ofcourse you can and i think enough of us do. But having a few people working on the same theme always makes things more interesting + it's additional motivation to try and finish it
@Ravenslayer
I bet you had fun searching your "mood/ref"! Some of the search terms you used must of been good haha
I'm thinking of doing something Chaos Space marine related just because I prefer their gothic take on the regular space marines. I have one of the old models of a robot rhino with a chaos marine on that I love but I want to preferably do a female model.....maybe I can combine the two!
Half Sexy Female half Robot Rhino!
@ raven,
mind posting linky to that awesome refsheet you posted, i wouldn't mind getting a decent high res gander at all those perty bods. for research purposes of course

I'm open to suggestions.
Dawn of war universe?

ooh. I like this.
That I would be up for.
This will open it up to some hard surface guys as well if they want to throw down. Vehicles, Weapons, Etc... Seems like a cool idea to me.
AND GO!!!!!

Seriously there is more then just Space Marines in 40k

You forgot the metal bellbottoms.
If we're going to do Warhammer, we should at least include Warhammer Fantasy for the people who don't want to do Grimdark Space Marine Future.

Theres also the whole host of other species in 40k'

To those who'd rather do organics and that.

will start some research
I'm pretty unhappy with this, and rather than change themes or whatever I think I'll just bow out instead.
I'll now go cry in my cheerios elsewhere.
I've made an image which sums up my feelings.
I get to see all the Warhammer 3D Art awesomeness I can stand 8+hrs a day. So for me, that's a very cold comfort.

Not all of us are that lucky.

time to start designing and try to make it my own
^_^
I will never make it before deadline tho ._.
Im loving the colour pallete of these guys
Theres quite alot of smexiness toward the zurg woman so mix that with badassery of tyranid and its a all around win. Gota make the design mine now.
Worry about your own
