Seriously WIP. I need to make some custom textures for it, but this is as far as I got using only stock textures:



Missile turret going to be removed in favor of a new weapons system.

Model by Prey.

Tear apart my awful skinning job, there's no way I'm leaving the front the way it is.

I see camilles model has been put to good use
Those tread covers really need a smaller/less detailed texture, they look out of place compared to the rest

Better idea, just texture the entire unit in that quality ^

I'm sorry to say this mate, but to me, it's just not "crazy" or "super" enough to me. Yes, there are a TON of missiles, but to me, it lacks the presence that the other super/crazy units have.

[Jordan]

Hm, maybe I'll salvage the chassis for something else then. Not for the Superweapons General, but for the Air-Force general.

Imagine a Fan Truck, times 10.

Hmm, another fan truck-ish creation? What about a crazy fire truck type unit? The power a fire hose has is incredible. If a fire hose, while under pressure has no one on it, it can take 4-5 firemen to reign it in. You could use the same concept for this unit as the fan truck, but instead of air pressure blowing units away, you could use water pressure. Would also get rid of dirt, grime and mildew!

[Jordan]

That would be fun as a normal unit, but Fire Trucks aren't THAT big.

Here's a WIP concept of what I was talking about earlier, a tank I call the Aeolos:



It can blow away everything with those massive turbines, and can shoot them out like giant missiles, so it can take on other super units.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Now THAT'S a super unit! That's exactly the reason you're head of this mod because of units like that. Is the skin still a WIP though? Reason I ask because the skin on the armour over the treads is a bit dodgy.

Also, to the firetruck idea, I didn't literally mean a firetruck, but a tank with an enormous water hose.

[Jordan]

A bit dodgy? I didn't even finish that part yet.

I think I might widen the turret just a little, as the massive turbines kinda block out the center of the turret.

And I have to make a system for holding the turbines while still allowing them to launch.

-Jordan

[Sgt. Nuker]

Put them in a tube, and as the turbines exit the tube, the fins extend.

[WNxMastrefubu]

i didnt even think the skin was that bad....

[Su8perkillr]

me neither. but... me likey

[Jordan]

I'm talking about the skin on top of the treads covers. I didn't actually skin that part, so the texture was just randomly applied to it.

Ok, another unit idea. If I took the missile pods from the Hivestorm, mounted them on a GLA chassis, and made them shoot mini fighters instead of missiles, which would swarm the target with machineguns and rockets, would you consider that good enough for a super unit?

-Jordan

I like the idea of having a Fan tank capable of sending uber units flying more than the GLA one tbh...
Plus the second model is awesome

[Jazzie Spurs]

Remember I am a Skinner, and I work for you :awe

[Jordan]

True. I've just been kinda going it solo for a while. I'll send you the model, and you can modify it to your liking as much as you want to, as well as skin it.

[Brad]

I like the model on that unit, it looks quite awesome

Brilliant! Although I'd have to ask, which faction needs a super unit more: USA, or GLA? Whichever one needs a super unit more, give it to them.

[Jordan]

Every single general and standard faction needs a super unit in the end, so it doesn't really matter who gets them all first.
