Wow I get a feel that this is equal/better than wingwolf's or whoever created the first batch.

Hey could you also get in the Raven Guards? Also, are these as powerful (in terms of armor strength) as they look? Because the original's were totally weak and couldn't even stand up to UniTec or standard Vanilla actors at that.

I'm kind of expecting there to be bullets bouncing off of armor/doing very slight damage according to what they are actually supposed to be like.

Additionally, its a bit harder to see the shoulder plate designs for the blood angels.

And when is this going to be released?

I'm going to be a combo-breaking ♥♥♥♥ here and say that I kinda prefer the slimmer Marines more. Other than that, though, these look pretty damn good.

...it also occurs to me that, not having tried them, I am unaware of any potential changes other than the aesthetic ones. Am I missing something by not trying these and just looking at them, or is it merely a different overall appearance?

Well, they do have their flaws but the armor does take place as in if they're being shot at by a pistol or anything else that has a weak caliber yes, bullets bounce off, if being shot at by lets say something more unreasonable such as a kinetic object e.g. a huge crab then well that might tear a limb off.

I am still working on gibbing issues with the arms but apart from that they're what I'd expect from space marines.

So to solve that question, the armor is more than just looks.

By the way, postin up the storm bolter.

Wait, I don't see the magazine that's supposed to be sticking out, I just see the barrel and the trigger guard? There's supposed to be a banana clip right? Or am I getting that mixed up with a different gun? And maybe the barrel could use some shading too?

Otherwise, it looks pretty good to me. How accurate is it?

You talking bout the storm bolter or what?

Ah well, apart from that, I'll post up next, the storm shield.
Interested? Well, wait, I kinda tired right now and I've gotta do some work in the meantime.

I would like to see the storm shield. Now does every chapter have its unique design for the storm shield?
Also, you wouldn't happen to be planning on vehicles in the future far or near would you?

Abdul made the code for gunships.
So I will resprite the crappy landspeeder sprite to a shiny one (i hope).

Ah well,

Good to know, by the by good news!
I only need one more permission grant to go before i post up the mod.

For what its worth, you have my permission lol

So recently, I've been playing skirmishes with Space Marines (the original ones) against melee master mod (the one with knights and stuff) which all the actors have incredibly hard armor which they only use melee weapons. It was fun pinning the Space marines against them.

Its actually kind of fun too so you guys should try it out against this version of the Space Marines when it comes out.

Wait, you do have the chainsword in the pack your releasing right?

Why yes we do and make things even more to the fun,

WE HAVE STORM SHIELDS.

By the by (I keep saying that for some reason), I am almost good to officially post it, my plan is to do it tommorrow first thing before I have to do some work.
