Another 40k Chaos shipset

[Emperor's Child]

I'd thought I'd go ahead and post my second shipset for anybody to use, though its timing with SEV on the horizon is pretty bad. Nevertheless, I've had some fun with this one and went for the feel of 40k Chaos ships without rushing the job. The whole shipset is now posted on the PBW site as " Traitor CSM (http://seiv.pbw.cc/Download/filelib/1331/Traitor.zip) ."

I'll take a stab at putting a few sample pics in this post.

Anyhow, I'd like ideas for a good 40k weapon base theme... The AI is old... It is up to Gold but not been updated since.

Great, I will look at them at once. I am planning to do a 40k Mod for Space Empires IV, so this comes just right.

P.S.: The Zip-file is broken. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/yawn.gif

[Emperor's Child]

Zip file fixed.

[Pocus]

err, still broken for me.

[Fyron]

Works fine for me. Try logging in to PBW first.

[Dizzy]

Could it be mirrored to another site?

You have to log on to PBW first. It's a cool shipset, a little different from the other Chaos set. I like the purple. Not a lot of purple ships in SEIV besides the Cue Cappa.

Now we have two Chaos sets and an Orc set. Hopefully someone out there will add the other W40K races to SEIV:

Imperium
Eldar
Tau
Necron
Tyranid

I love 40K's gothic ship designs.

Ooooh, nice set. I agree about the purpleness, it's a good thing.

Now go Wiki it! (http://wiki.spaceempires.net/index.php/Shipsets_(SEIV))

[Dizzy]

Why cant it be uploaded somewhere else?

And anyone know where the 3D viking shipset it?

[Emperor's Child]

I know somebody has done a Tau shipset, you can see it here on the PBW shipset list. To check it out, click on the Tau Shipset (http://seiv.pbw.cc/Download/filelib/968/Tau.zip)

I've dabbled with getting a 40k mod going myself, but found I didn't have the time. However, If there is interest in a 40k mod, in addition to this purple chaos set set I can spin off variants in Red (World Eaters), Green (Death Guard), Blue (Thousand Sons, alpha legion, Night Lords), and Grey (Iron Warriors / Black Legion).

Also, the Drushaka are close enough to a Nid set that they can be used as a proxy in a pinch, though Nids would be pretty easy to to.

well apparently its members only cuz the page wont show 4 me.

[Urendi Maleldil]

I've seen the Tau set, and I think I remember a Necron set out there somewhere. No offense to their creators, but they were mostly cut-and-paste jobs... kinda crappy.

I do remember that John Beech of the Universal Shipyards was working on an Eldar set a looooong time ago. The preview renderings looked really good. View Image Here (http://mkv25.net/USy/gallery/johnbeech/eclipseschematic.png) Too bad he never got around to finishing it.

Emperor's Child, different color variations would be great. Maybe some of us could even create different AI's so they would behave like different Chaos factions.

Membership is free and a good idea anyways, so you can easily play SE4 in multiplayer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

You can get the set here (http://www.spaceempires.net/home/downloads-details-544-Traitor_Chapter.html#dldetails) .

There are plenty of places to upload a set. My recent experience of wikifying shipsets indicates that most sets are hosted in at least two different places. Also, the wiki doesn't actually host any full sets- it just catalogues them, along with every other scrap of SE-related knowledge in the universe, ever.


And anyone know where the 3D viking shipset it?



The author emailed it to me, and I said I'd host it, but haven't got round to that bit yet so it's not actually publically available anywhere, as far as I'm aware. I probably ought to put it up on PBW or something, but in the meatime anyone who wants it can email me and I'll send it that way. My email address for all se4 stuff is se4@[insert my forum name here].co.uk
