I second this. But then that bare-naked arm will probably need some kind of camoflauge on it. Or maybe just make that arm+glove just one long, black, neoprene sleeve.
Ok every one make an Itemized list of what they want changed on each charicter. NFR: BER: NFS: BES: NFE: BEE: NFG: BEG:
These look so much better compared what we currently have... It would be great if someone could actualy model these and place them in the game... I would make infantry combat look awesome... EDIT: Can you make each of them having their own weapon? Rifleman - NF Heavy Rifle/BE Asault Rifle Scout - Scout Rifle Engineer - SMG 2 Grenadier - Rocket Launcher That would be awesome...
BEs - fine as is NFs - needs to be dirtier. tears in the uniform? not sure what i mean but i mean it BEr - the hankie on his leg is a bit strange. get rid of it and he is perfect NFr - more armor both engies are great as is BEg - needs a helmet and get rid of the snot rag NFg - those belt pouches either need to be big enough to hold mines/morter shells or just be scrapped and give him a backpack. all of them are great. as for which to do a detailed drawing of; i say anything but the engies. nothing wrong with them but they have less flare than the rest (as they should).
No, that looks like a tanksman's headdress. Keeps your noggin somewhat comfortable as it bangs against steel while you ride around. I was more thinking of something like this. Also something that might work is an assault helmet, though they might look a bit too modern.
Sorry, these are just off the top of my head...I lost concentration before getting it down NFR: The fins? Or is that the wrong drawing. Soften it into plates if it is.. BER: Fine NFS: Think about a balaclava mebbe...yeah it's not the best suggestion. Dull the buttons and do up the top button (fold it up). BES: It's good...at most i'd say mebbe some slashes of black along the arms. NFE: Toolbelt? BEE: Toolkit/belt? NFG: Larger pouch (although I did notice they were enlarged already) - to hold RPG ammoz. One is for mines isn't it? That's a nice touch really. BEG: Less "artic explorer" more...er..? I think if you replace the "bedroll" look at the top of the back to be poking up on only one side (instead of both)? Maybe put the kerchief over a mine pouch? The more I look at them, the more I get to like them, tbh
I like them, for the most part. I think distinct thematic styles are paramount. Whoever said NO OBVIOUS colours has been playing too many WWII games. These models have very little colour on their uniforms compared to , say, TF2. This topic should coincide with the infantry topic (mainly the silhouettes discussion.) http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=9276&page=7 And post all the images so far in the OP.
If the thread title is red vs blue > brown vs grey, why is the majority colour on all of these models either black or grey? Currently we have reddish brown vs bluish grey, I think that's better than grey vs grey with ridiculously saturated bits of cloth stuck on in a couple of places.
Diversifying classes is good, but please don't work against camouflage patterns and such, since Infantry already has a hard time hiding in Empiers, with stompy tanks driving around squishing us little guys half the time.
OR else make infantry have a little flair and then add the dodge ability where your char does a barrel roll.
I thought the NF were supposed to resemble russian soldiers. And a good place to put the team colors would be as a thick horizontal stripe on each shoulder.
