Title: Murs47's Casa de Crazy: Marvel Girl [Marvel Legacy] 6/2019
Post by: murs47 on June 05, 2009, 01:21:11 AM
Hey all, figured I'd show what I've been working on. And also ask for some help on a couple of them as well.

Bane:

Black Knight:
(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/361/bkdaney.jpg)

I'm wondering if it's possible to change the dodge/defend animations to captain america ones and to have a shield appear only on those animations. Also, the helmet stays exactly where it is during all animations.

Black Hand:
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9062/blackhand.jpg)

Would it be possible to put the ring, lantern, and some animations from a green lantern mesh onto ren's omni-man mesh.

Captain Britain:
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/636/captainbritain.jpg)

Hal Jordan:
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5730/haljordan.jpg)

John Stewart:

Kyle Rayner:
(http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/7066/kylerayner.jpg)

Saint Walker:
(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3627/saintwalker.jpg)

This is a base skin I started for Saint. If anyone would be willing to skope him that would be awesome. ;)

Sinestro:
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9501/sinestron.jpg)

Sodam Yat:
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/7528/sodamyat.jpg)

I've got a couple more in the works. Hopefully more after that too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :D

Wow.  Just ... wow!

It's great to see you back in the saddle - and your skinning has gotten better!! 

Your faces are more defined than ever and your colors are more striking.

Love your new take on Sinestro!

Post by: laughing paradox on June 05, 2009, 02:56:21 AM
Wow is right.. that's very impressive work, Murs.

You've really stepped up your game to the nth degree. Black Knight and Black Hand really leap out at me.. I am really digging your style.

Post by: Podmark on June 05, 2009, 02:59:30 AM
Wow these all look great! Are you going for the Secret Six approach to Bane?
I'm sure Prev is going to love the MI13 stuff.
Title: Re: ...you must WIP it, WIP it good!
Post by: Jakew on June 05, 2009, 03:25:50 AM
Those look great, particularly Bane (nice to see him on a smaller mesh), Black Knight (cool costume) and Sinestro (once again, great to see him on a different mesh).  :thumbup:

Oh my goodness....Murs...I do believe this is some of the best work you've ever done.  These are all good skins, but some of these are absolutely FANTASTIC!  Your face on Hal is great, not overstated but really distinct.  Your Sinestro though...my goodness...all I can say is "curse you," because now I'm going to have to update my Sinestro!  These are phenomenal Murs, just phenomenal!

Murs my boy...you've done it again. PM me...I'll work out those some of those animations and other stuff for ya. And don't worry....I haven't forgotten about our previous project. ;) The Black Knight, Black hand and Captain Britain are my faves in this bunch. I will say that the blue in Cap Britains uniform needs to be darker and the red a little richer. ;) The face work on Sinestro is fantastic! :thumbup:

I'm in awe of these man. The Facework is superb! I do have a few critiques, though

-On gloes, watch the fingernails. It's somewhat obvious
-Stewart's you missed the thumbs on Stewart.
-Kyle, Sodam, and Sinestro's hair looks overly bright compared to the spandex.

Only one archangel? I thought Cas had ordered a choir a thousand sainted children?

But we're getting off topic. Murs has intimated to me he will not do Marvel Pool. Discuss... and by that, I of course mean tear him limb from limb.

Get your mind out of the gutter young man! :o

Joking aside, I uploaded him last week with close to a dozen other skins. I may have uploaded incorrectly, it's only my 2nd time using FTP. The skope is by Cas, who did an excellent job. :thumbup:

The Flare is a human torch copycat, but his powers have been eating his body away. The mini focuses on his last few days of life where he reflects on his past(mostly the regrets).

Mars is pretty much a god. An anti-social recluse to boot. The premise of the story is that Earth is being invaded by an alien race which has wiped out all of Earth's heroes. Mars stands as the last line of defense yet he doesn't want to do it. There's still one more issue in the mini so we'll what the outcome is soon. Judging by the way the last issue ended, I don't think he will be saving the human race.

Thanks for the comments everyone....I'll fix those fingernails :banghead:

It doesn't work either. It only works when his costume is one colour...like in the movies...or it is totally redesigned like Azrael Batman.

Meh... I'm not one who usually agrees with the "don't change anything" crowd but... I agree on Catman. The Design just seems lacking without the underoos to break up the body.
Title: Re: Murs47's Casa de Crazy: 7/2
Post by: Podmark on July 06, 2009, 03:21:23 AM
Well I'd keep the underoos just for accuracy sake (I'm an accuracy freak) but otherwise the skin looks awesome. Also Catman is my favorite character in the Six, which is my fav DC title.

I think the whole "underwear over the pants" thing is as ridiculous as Liefield's 50,000 pouches design. The fun thing about skinning is having the creative freedom to interpret characters as you wish. ;)

Murs, I LOVE ALL YOUR SKINS!! They look great, seriously! But I have to ask 3 things:-

1. Are you doing any of the other Lanttern Corps? ie Star Saphires, Orange (Larfleeze!!!) or Purple Lanterns?

2. As the first issue of Blackest Night shows that
Spoiler
Black Hand uses Batman's skull rather then an actual lantern
will you be adding that to any mesh you do?

3. Whenwill you release all this meshy goodness!??!?!?!?!??!!!?

QuoteAre you doing any of the other Lanttern Corps? ie Star Saphires, Orange (Larfleeze!!!) or Purple Lanterns?

I want to do Miri of the Star Sapphires. While Fatality has received more play time in the regular GL title, and Carol is the more common face, I think Miri is a true believer in the ideals of the Star Sapphires rather than being brain washed like the others.
There are two people trying to put something together for me but nothing is guaranteed. So we'll see. *crosses fingers* :)

Larfleeze - I've been given a skope for him but I'm the middle of a burnout.

I don't have the skoping knowledge to pull of what you're asking in question #2

Alrighty, with Marvel's recent announcement of acquiring Marvelman/Miracleman I thought to myself: "How the heck do they plan on bringing in new readers with such an ugly costume?" So, I was inspired to "modernize" his look for fun's sake. EDIT: Here's my take on Kid Miracleman's look at the end of Moore's run.

There are many reasons. Several involve cookies. Mmmm cookies....  :wub:

Great skins Murs. Never stop skining. Ever. It would be an injustice to the world.

Moonstone is a little too white I think, the costume always looked more grey and shinny.
The the Authority guys look awesome, especially the details on Midnighter. Reminds me I need to finally read the Authority. Yes I haven't read it yet, don't worry it's on the list.
Songbird could benefit from a skope maybe. Swordsman is very cool, I love the mask. Can't wait to see the rest of the team.

While I love your skins, Murs, I think you need to focus on the facial features of your females. Your guys' faces are all unique, well designed, well shaded and perfectly capture their personality, but I think you've used the same smirk on every female skin thus far (all 4 of 'em ;)). So, I think you should try to branch out and diversify your faces. Other than that, well, you know how much I love your work. Haha.

The Overkill twins, Zack and Xander. Wasn't really sure what color scheme to use as the books seems to be colored with dull and dark tones while also changing. I'll probably end up doing a brown sweater version eventually. To make some slight differences to them...Zack's skope has a handgun and knife...while Xander has a machine gun.

Really nice muscle definitions on that base Murs, not to mention the details on the face.  :thumbup:

I'm no expert/artist but there's something bothering me about the groin area and thigh area's sharp cuts. It sometimes feel inconsistent with the smooth round curves i see on some other parts. :wacko:

Maybe i'm just analyzing it too much though. :doh: It's a very chiseled look so there are times that i think those sharp cuts is how it should really look. :banghead: :penguinspin

I'm not sure yet. I'm considering using it exclusively for my ultimate dc skins to give them a unique look. IDK yet. If so, I could always make some more.

In all honesty, I wanted to create something a little more universal and judging by some of the comments posted already it seems to be perceived as an ideal base for super muscular characters. Could I skin The Flash with my new base without hearing "it's too muscular"? Probably not. Which is odd because the character, like every other comic character, is drawn with very defined muscles regardless of body type. But maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions.

Anyways, I'll more than likely create a base that the community as a whole views as universal and release that for public use as a big thank you for all the support I've been given. I have no idea when that will be though.

Do a quick Flash (ish like maybe just bare bones body mask type thing) skin. It'd give us an idea how it'd look on less super muscular characters.

Well I got no problem when people try to draw superheroes with very defined muscles. I understand that people have their own style when it comes to drawing them. I saw this variant cover of Hulk#16 by Ed McGuiness and I thought Deadpool was drawn a little more muscular than usual, but i didn't think it was bad. I've always liked the skins you do, so i don't think that will change if you ever decide to try a different style. :)

I don't find this skin overly muscular at all. It seems pretty much standard normal musculature for super heroes.

If you released it, I would use it for muscular characters simply because most of my characters are not. In fact, for men, I use my cartoon base which has almost no muscles whatsoever. So, for my stuff, it's muscley. For your stuff I think it'd look perfectly normal.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm actually not to worried about how Daredevil looks exactly atm, more so how the base is working. I will be keeping your critiques in mind cause he is far from done. I'm definitely going to detail the crap out of him thanksgiving or christmas break.

i'd say the base is working very nicely, only the belt and straps look out of place, I know it was only a test piece but you will have to kick up the detail on your extras to make it all flow nicely, I really couldnt say anything else wrong with it, nice work.

I'm actually pretty happy with the color. But, I'll try giving it some more pop to see if I like it that.

I think that's what I was thinking, that or maybe just kick up the contrast a little.
The colour's not bad, I just tend to prefer brighter/vivider colours.
The bandages look nice.

Very cool Mursy...nice to see you skinning again. OK...so a lot of folks around here know this...I am a complete and total "nutball" when it comes to Captain America...he is without a doubt my favorite superhero so I'm always super excited to see more Cap skins. The work on the shield is really fantastic...and the scale work is really awesome but I'd "straighten off" the areas where the scale ends like you did around the neck. The mask seems darker than it should be though...in fact I'd "intensify" the blue all over Cap. I'm also not to sure about the studs on the belt though...it doesn't look right...oh and the ears need to be "out" and not under the mask. ;) Can't wait to download this bad boy Murs! :thumbup:

This is mostly just personal preference...but I really dislike the feathered scalemail. It looks terrible on Cap in the comics as it does here. All I can think of is "Fred Flintstone" Captain America. And I have to agree with Cas on the belt and covered ears...neither look right on him.

I'm on the opposite side of the fence here. It always irritates me to see Cap's round shield damaged in anyway. To me the colours are part of the shields make up...and there are 3 constants in the Marvel Universe...Hulk is the strongest one there is, Captain America's shield is indestructible, and Wolverines claws can cut through anything (except Cap's shield :P).

This was my exact train of thought when skinning the shield.

Cas, you nutball! I could include an alternate .tga of the shield for those that prefer it with a shiny new paint job.

I can't say I love one style of his chain-mail over the other. But since there wasn't a scale-mail version skinned, I decided to go that route. The blue of the costume I'll play with. I wanted the mail to be a different hue/brightness of blue than the rest of the costume.

The other choices were all personal preference. I think we all know my feelings on costume accuracy by now. Skinners can skin the characters the way they interpret them. Such as an artist would when drawing them.

Thanks for the comments and input guys. They are noted. ^_^

I myself dont care too much for the scaled look on Cap, but thats kinda like a personal preference more than anything else.

As for the shield, eh, it doesnt look damaged in any way, but it does look dirty. Being the hardest thing on earth dont stop it from getting all dusty, you know.

Murs, I really dig this skin, and in particular.. I am loving the shield. It's a great effect. You did a really good job with the tunic part of his costume, too.

The only thing this skin seems to be missing are the pouches on his belt. As for a merely aesthetic suggestion, maybe you could consider cutting off the tunic with a straight-lined seam, instead of the serrated one?

I'm with the group who's not a fan of scale male but that said I think when an artist like Johnson or Cassaday do it they can make it look good and what you've done is on that level. I think though if your doing that costume he needs some pouches like LP said.

That's a really nice depiction of that version of the costume.  Murs, you've got an excellent Cap skin there, and I for one rather like the scale mail for some reason.  Still, I'd agree with Cas that the mask and the chest are too different in shade of blue.  I think deepening the chest a bit might be the answer, or maybe lighten the cowl.  Great work lately, man!

Fantastic version of BuckyCap's costume, Murs...   :thumbup:

However I'm sure another version of BuckyCap's costume will come somewhere during the first arc of the post-Reign Avengers because he picked the mostly black uniform to represent the mourning he felt from Roger's death. Kinda seems silly to keep wearing that version of the uniform after Steve has returned to life much less fighting a Red Skull robot in public view. My guess is that once Steve Rogers starts rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. (and who doesn't see that coming) he gives Bucky the opportunity to update the costume for a more modern spin on the character.

I didn't know that. If they put that in a story it would be a great way to address the costume. It would give a reason for Ross redesign that would seem character related instead of just a Ross movie costume pitch. I wonder why Brubaker hasn't used that.

I'm with Murs' original statement. I haven't enjoyed DP since Way took over. He's so over saturated that I avoid him now.

I will admit he had a couple good issues. I mean that literally, only 2 good issues in one year. I dropped it after that because 2 out of 12 is not good...not even in baseball.

Want it to be more cartoony like AA's? Hmmm.. C6 uses more saturated colors in his skins to make them pop. Area34 is pretty good with increasing contrast to give metals that shiny look. While others have used blue highlights/shading for the white parts in some costumes. :mellow:

Nice job. I prefer the short hair Bucky, the long hair just didn't feel right to me.

Nice Falcon. Way way back I wanted to do a Falcon skin, but never got around to it. Falcon is my favorite character in Cap. Funny thing is back when I was first getting into comics I didn't like Falcon, he seemed really lame.

What do you think is missing from Falcon? I think it looks pretty damn good.. love the face work on it.

Sometimes, if I feel like a skin doesn't look 'finished', I'll add pants and shirt seams on the sides of the mesh's body... it feels more complete to me, somehow. Other times, it can be overkill.

Stonewall from Secret Warriors in his normal, stone, and metal forms. For those that don't read the title, this is The Absorbing Man's son. He's supposed to have bands on the top of the sleeves but it didn't look right just skinned on so I took them off.

It's actually pretty simple. Grab a concrete or rock texture image. You can find a bunch by Google-ing.

I used the hue/saturation palette to turn the flesh area of the skin into that greyish-brown color. Paste the texture file over your skin.

Now this is where my memory gets iffy. I can't remember exactly what I set the layer style to, but I'm positive it's Multiply or one the setting that's grouped with Overlay if not Overlay itself. Set the Layer Opacity between 25% - 60%. You'll have to experiment a bit with those two settings. I'd recommended figuring out the layer style before dealing with the opacity.

So far these are the only forms that he's displayed. But I will do more if he shows more. I hope he doesn't do a fire form, I don't think I could pull that one off. :ph34r:

I don't see what the problem is. Other than "the not being left handed problem" that the Winter Soldier skope had also he seems fine to me. I stuck c6's superpatriot skin on it since the oufits design is similar and I'm not seeing distortions in the chest.

Here's my shot at Steve. I don't really like my skope...at all. If Area has time to skope a better one I'll adapt the skin to his. This is the first skin I've ever saved a back up for and used numerous layers so it should make it an easy transition. I took out the red stripe running along the legs. I just didn't like that design decision.

Once I figure out the chain mail thing I'll fiddle with the blue again. But the red stripe...yuck! I changed the hair color, how's that?

Pretty good. I might try a little smaller chain mail but otherwise it looks good, I like it better this way. The hair colour change is good too.

I might go with a darker blue, hard to say. The Djurdjevic design (http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?disp=img&pid=1271438425) looks darker - and I think his is the best pic of it, but the Pacheco version (http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?disp=img&pid=1271438409) is a lighter blue. Deodato seems to be using the darker blue as well. And I'd put the red strip back in myself, the design looks incomplete without it.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen the new designs for Steve Rogers and hot dof i think they're really cool.
You can really see the '40s inspiration in the gloves/belts and boots.  Like he is a soldier from WW2, like a frog man or airborne.
Then the standard superhero spandex kind of meshes with it to create the modern day warrior/agent like Sam Fisher.

I think you've done an outstanding job Murs.  I kind of like the red stripe because it is reminiscient of '40s stylings, but I understand why you took it out.

I think a darker blue would be cool. and the chain mail... hmm, maybe take a look at some of TUE's recent skins with his hexagonal imprint.

I'm looking forward to release that's for sure!

It's movin in the right direction. The chain works....but a little smaller like Pod says. Maybe do a version with the "dumb" red stripe and one without. ;)

I really like the design, actually, and the face and hair look perfect. I agree about the chainmail.. and put the red stripe in!

Are you thinking about doing the new line-up of the Avengers?

I like the middle one most.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/258v155.jpg)

As for the red stripe, it just looks thrown on rather than designed to give it that "Captain America" feel. *vomits* Excuse me.

I'll make two versions I guess. :P

I think the skin(s) look great and adding the chainmail was definitely the way to go. I do have a problem with the mesh itself, though. The head seems a bit too big, although in heroic renders, this is common. The main thing is the neck thickness. It seems really disproportionate. For all his development, Steve should look like a Nebraska linebacker, but it seems a bit too much. Actually, it could be that the shoulders are too narrow for the the muscularity of the mesh. (I have a degree in Kinesiology, so forgive me if I'm nitpicking)

Do these all look the same:

I'm not sure. I know he'll be leading this 'Secret' Avengers team. As for Fury, nothing has been said of his role post Siege. I'm gonna guess he stays underground to continue his fight with Leviathan and Hydra.

I probably should stated that they are all the same picture/skin. Sorry about that, I just assigned different color profiles to them.

1 - Does not have a color profile
2 - Also doesn't have a color profile but is converted to sRGB
3 - Is my monitor's profile
4 - my monitor's profile but then converted to sRGB

Do any of these look purple? All four look exactly the same to me on my screen, are there glaring differences between any and all?

   1 and 2 are a little darker, though 2 has a brighter blue and is less shadowy (more contrast?). 3 and 4 are definitely lighter, with 4 looking almost faded. 3 looks like a brighter version of 1, as the blue is less vibrant than in 2. Besides the costume, you can really see the difference in the faces (1 and 2 are much richer).
   I downloaded each picture, so I could put them side by side, and when I went to do this in Photoshop, they were all identical. I didn't even think about color profiles. Interesting.

Thanks, that helps a lot. 1, which is no color profile, is what I skin in. If I switch to 2, my blues turn to purples in photoshop making it difficult to skin in.

Sorry I have been busy at work and hadn't been online this week.-
I can look at the skope but like LP says it looks fine. Any problems your having might just be because he's built out of Bucky Cap so if you want a new skope it would be a whole new skope, that isn't a big problem but I would stick with it the way it is.

I think you should just have the non-chainmail version in the skin pack. Until the costume shows up in the comics there's no telling how many artist are going to draw it or just leave it as a spandex.

It all depends if I like the series. Valkyrie is a character I'm really unfamiliar with, so I don't care for her at the moment. War Machine would require some serious time, and I don't like him enough to dedicate said time. Moon Knight is a possibility regardless of the quality of the book. I've been wanting to skin him for a while, I just can't find a mesh for him. Beast...ditto War Machine. I like Eric O'Grady. I don't like the classic Ant-Man costume though. So in short, it all depends on how much I like the book.

Heh, thanks Ghazkul. It's a skope of ink's batman_v2. I just alpha enabled the cape and replaced the body with tomato's full mask mesh...I couldn't think of anything else. As for villains, I don't remember any. I was a young lad when this series came around.

If I skinned him I'd feel the need to re-skinning the other 3 again. I'll send the skope your way later.

The costume does evolve during the series, so it is missing something in a sense. I can't say I was going for precise colors. I wanted the main part of the costume to be a grey-blue and I didn't add any highlights because I wanted it to resemble cloth a little. The blacks I did want looking more like latex/leather. I was worried the eyes were too close in but I'll give it a second look. Thanks UE.

No if only someone could get the rest of the characters done......Red Son Bizarro would be great using the Martian Manhunter body.


Maybe one day I'll do everyone from Red Son. Bizarro, would be the first I'd tackle too.

I warmed up the gray and I like it a lot more. After I do some other minor adjustments I'll post pics of part 2. I didn't like the boots being the same color as the gray, that was odd. So I went black. I'll try toning down the muscles and maybe adding some creases and folds into the third skin since he's supposed to be older.

Just as an aside: I downloaded the Steve Rogers skins, and those are truly amazing -- the detail work on the pistol was stunning, and you definitely showed that Rogers was a little older than some in the facework. Awesome job.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Every time I think the meshing/skinning/skoping community has reached its apex, you guys find a way to do even more, even better. Simply amazing.

They both look great. I can't decide which one I like better, but it's nice to be able to choose old school or updated. You can't go wrong with either of these skins. Thanks again.

   I would love to see some sort of Illustrator tutorial. I've been able to teach myself Photoshop, but I have found Illustrator to be a whole other ball of wax. My brother is a graphic artist and is able to create masterful things in Illustrator and I've always wanted to make use of it.
   Murs, is one able to skin with Illustrator? There's nothing like the sharpness of a vector graphic and I know that Photoshop has extended it's ability to work with vector graphics (though, it's somewhat limited). Would it automatically rasterize when opened in Photoshop and saved as a .tga? I know that there is an option to rasterize shapes and text in Photoshop, allowing you to manipulate them, so it must be able to handle vector graphics somehow.
   I probably should have PM'd you this question and I apologize if I took the thread off track.

It's very possible. But it would require exporting to photoshop eventually. I don't think illustrator has .tga or .dds as a file format option.

Post by: daglob on June 16, 2010, 12:47:00 AM
The best definition of Illustrator I've seen is that it was a graphics program designed by computer engineers, and Photoshop was what they came up with after the graphic artists complained  ;).

The vector graphics in Photoshop seem pretty decent, although I'm pretty sure they do get rasterized somewhere in the saving process, at least wehn it is all merged into a single layer. I've never examined the exported color separations to see if the vector shapes are rasterized on them. I need to do that someday.

Having spent a couple of years using CorelDraw, however, I find that it is easier to do painterly work in Photoshop (or Corel Photopaint), but I can whip up a vector shape or a path in no time flat whenever I need to.

What I'm saying is, you can probably do skins in Illustrator, and I would almost bet that you can find a plug-in that will let you export in any format you want. I find Photoshop easier to use than Illustrator (so much so that I haven't re-installed Illustrator on my new comptuer. Yet.), but that is just me.

My lowly opinion is that it could use some color. Its an awesome skin as far as appearance goes, but without color, the design seems rather boring. However, I don't know what color to add or where... I'm color blind, that's my excuse!  :P

No, I don't have them anymore. I'm probably the laziest skinner when it comes to file handling. I dont save back up files, use multiple layers, or use the snapshot feature. I just revert the file to it's original state if I don't like what I see and start again. Bad habit, I know. Anyways, tried a couple other things and didn't like them. Or, I didn't like them more than the black and silver. Perhaps an unmasked variant some time down the road? Does this please the masses? No?

I think Murs47 killed them all.

My take on Murs47's origin:  :P
Spoiler
Dr. Prevanoff was a famous scientist hired by a secret Russian government agency to make an elite team of  extraordinary soldiers. He called this team the Mercenary Unit of Radioactive Soldiers or MURS for short. Dr. Prevanoff intended to use these soldiers to invade America and wreck havok and devastation. What he did not know was, the CIA had already implanted a spy known only as JJ working as his lab assistant named "Stefan" for years now. Upon completing his 47th unit (his latest and greatest creation yet), Dr. Prevanoff believed he was ready to begin his assault on America. JJ on the otherhand had other plans. He was able to sneak in a failsafe program/solution which he called the "laughing paradox" syndrome in Dr. Prevanoff's latest and greatest creation which was MURS47. When the team was all set to go, JJ activated the LP syndrome at the very last minute causing MURS47 to go crazy and break free from Dr. Prevanoff's control. Eventually, MURS47 was able to defeat and destroy the weaker MURS. Dr. Prevanoff was pouting with anger. "What did you do? Stefan!!! "  JJ just smiled and said. "He's what you can call my Manic Undercover Rogue Soldier # 47, Dr. Prevanoff."

MURS47's powers is still very much a mystery.  It is believed he has some healing powers due to the nature of having radioactive energies inside him. Being radioactive, some people have claimed he can cast this green glow which people can see in the dark. And sometimes, just sometimes, when he is feeling crazy enough, his eyes radiate the green radioactive energy residing within him. :)

Murs is Casanova's clone or something. I don't know how that works. I didn't ask. One of the Murs is a rapper. The other is Emma. One lived in Canada for awhile. Several were killed in the Murs War in chat shack. That's all you need to know.

Just some updates to previous skins:

Superman
(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7292/supermanbio.jpg)

QuoteThe coming of Darkseid was something the Kryptonians arrogantly thought they could defy. Darkseid had conquered, controlled, and  enslaved 37% of the known universe according to Kryptonian intelligence. No society, culture, or species had ever stopped his brutal expansion. But the Kryptonians thought they stood a chance with their superior technology.

Kryptonian citizens Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van did not show the same confidence as the rest of their species. Paranoia and fear had overcome their senses. Prior to Darkseid and his armada's arrival, the couple shot their son, Kal-El, off into space within a small ship. The hope of their son living a peaceful life was their final thought before being incinerated by orbital strikes. The coming of Darkseid had cost the Kryptonians dearly. Most were killed, few escaped, and the rest were enslaved.

78 hours after Kal-El's departure from Krypton, his space capsule crash landed on Earth, within the Kansas region of the United States. A couple from Smallville witnessed the event and took it upon themselves to inspect the crash site out of curiosity. What they found was an infant. The Kents had never been able to conceive a child. This child from the sky was a gift they humbly accepted and raised as their own. The newest Kent was named Clark.

Morals instilled by the Kents and the manifestation of his abilities inclined an adolescent Clark to help those in need. The media dubbed him Superboy for his unbelievable accomplishments. A Metropolis reporter, Lois Lane, called him Superman years later. A name that has stuck since. Though he gets a small satisfaction from the attention and praise, he'd much rather be tending to his farm with his wife Lana Lang, and his two children, Connor and Kara.

------------------------------------------------------

The Flash
(http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6536/flashbio.jpg)

QuoteThe general perception of the next stage of evolution in humans, commonly labeled as "Meta-Human (or Metas)", has always been surrounded by trepidation. However, with the Meta-Human population growing, so does the fear. Governments around the world began to legislate and pass new laws to control a potential threat Metas represent. Many countries simply mandate registration, while others institute networks of labor camps for its Meta-Human populace.

Councilman Wally West of Keystone City's Public Safety Department had always kept his inherent abilities a secret. He was fearful of how his goals of becoming a high ranking public servant could be curtailed if his secret were ever exposed publicly. With the reality of a potential future where his children could be hunted for being different, Wally decided to take a more hands-on approach to public safety in the hopes of putting a more positive spin on Metas.

With his initial plan in place, Wally gained strong support from the locals by stopping robberies, muggings, drug trafficking, and inner-city gang fights, yet was mostly ignored nationwide and internationally. The world was going to hell no matter what he did or tried. Still, for the sake of his children, Wally pressed on. He finally gained the trust of America and other parts of the world when he evacuated occupants of the 2nd tower to safety preceding its destruction on 9/11.

------------------------------------------------------

Aquaman
(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/7762/aquamanbio.jpg)

QuoteDuring the Cold War, SIS initiated a defense program to protect the U.K. in the event of a Russian invasion. One of the top priorities was a defense system in the surrounding waters of England. The threat of Russian sub-marines needed to be addressed. With British Naval subs being no match for the Russian's deep sea vehicle, SIS contracts London based S.T.A.R. Labs to engineer an aquatic defense weapon.

One of STAR Lab's proposals was a biological weapon that could go undetected by Russian subs. After numerous tests and final approval from the SIS oversight committee, Project: Aquaman had commenced.

Sgt. Arthur Curry of the Special Air Service(SAS) was hand selected for the project. His love for his country made it a non-decision to participate in the project. Undergoing the project, Curry's body was genetically modified with a shark's DNA.

Gaining the strength and swim speed of a shark, Curry had become the world's top aquatic weapon. Achieving speeds of 74 kilometers an hour, he was twice as fast as any submarine. His small size made him invisible to radar, and disregarded as a dolphin by sonar. His ability to survive underwater had the SIS tasking him with Black Ops missions world wide. Aerial to ocean insertions 100 miles away from mission objectives gave him the element of surprise. Curry carries a 100% mission success rate to this day and is the U.K.'s top operative.

------------------------------------------------------

That's it for now.

------------------------------------------------

The Bronze Tiger
(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3910/bronzetigerbio.png)
QuoteBen Turner was born in the warring streets of St. Johannesburg, South Africa. At age 8 he watched helplessly as a his mother was brutally robbed and stabbed to death on their way home from the food market. With overwhelming violence surrounding him as he grew, young Ben Turner began to build a resentment towards humanity. With that, he slowly started to become a product of his environment. Reckless, violent, and defiant at school, he was expelled at age 14.

He joined the local gang as a dealer to help his father with the bills. By 19 he had become the gang's leading enforcer with a body count longer then a phone book listing. Fellow gang members dubbed him The Tiger because of his viciousness and physical prowess.

In a coup of the South African drug ring, The Tiger takes control by snapping the neck of St. Johannesburg's kingpin. None stepped up to retaliate. Fear had overcome those who saw the event, and to those who had heard of it. South Africa belonged to The Tiger.

His actions snag the notice of criminal emperor, Ra's Al Ghul. Appreciating Turner's rise to power at a young age, Ra's views him as a potential protege and offers The Tiger a spot in his empire. Years of training and missions have many believing he is the best hand to hand combatant in the world. Not even the Batman has bested him in sparring sessions.

Captain Marvel

(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1253/marvelbio.png)

QuoteRa's Al Ghul, while helming Waynetech as Bruce Wayne's legal guardian, begins his first and only attempt to reproduce Superman using the latest in technology and stem cell research. Ra's pays top dollars to corrupt bureaucrats for a tissue sample of Superman. He also sends out agents to kidnap females that would never be noticed or documented as missing. One of these women is Elizabeth Batson, a Fawcett City heroin addict.

Prior to having their embryos genetically altered and inseminated, they are put through detox and screened for STD's. Some die from their bodies being unable to function without drugs. Others are killed for being unacceptable due to disease. Elizabeth and an illegally imported Khandaq prostitute named Sanura are the only ones who test positive for pregnancy. The other women are disposed of.

With months of having their every need catered to, the two women grow worried of what will become of them and their unborn babies. During the next few weeks the two plan an escape and execute it shortly after. Both escape unharmed and go on their separate ways.

With complications in labor, Elizabeth Batson dies from blood loss. Her last words were: "Billy." The name of her childhood dog, and the fondest memory of her unfortunate life.

Growing up an orphan at St. Raphael's Church he learns of faith in God and that acts of selflessness are the greatest deed one can provide to mankind. Something he would not forget as his powers manifested.

The Atom

(http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/7536/atombio.png)

QuoteRay Palmer was a childhood genius and continued to progress his intelligence at an unprecedented rate through school. When he gradutated from MIT at the age of 19 with a degree in molecular science he was immediately offered a research and development position at Lockheed-Martin. The idea of having all his ideas fully funded was an opportunity he could not turn away and accepted the job. As the years passed he grew un-enthusiastic with every one of his ideas becoming weaponized, instead of used to progress the human species. Eventually he was let go by Lockheed-Martin due to poor performance.

Soon after, Palmer began campaigning for private investors to start up a company whose only goal was to create an alternative, free, and self-sustaining energy resource. The idea was so farfetch'd that no one was interested except billionaire philanthropist and founder of the Justice Society, Peter Cross.

While working with the Justice Society, Palmer invented a device that could rearrange the atoms of any object. He could turn bullets into raisins and dust into water. Inspired by the public figures of the Justice Society, Palmer fitted the stationary device into an entire suit and dubbed himself The Atom.

That's cool. Like I said before I do really like the design.

I definitely see what you mean Pod and agree with you. And even though I'm satisfied with the current state, I can definitely do something to improve that area you pointed out. I just feel like I'm on a roll and don't want to back track. But I will be revisiting him along with a few others and using the feedback I've gotten to improve them.

Batman

(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6723/batmanbio.png)

QuoteAfter catching word of Thomas and Martha Wayne's deaths, Ra's Al-Ghul capitalized on the situation. Al Ghul sent his top assassins to kill Bruce Wayne's legal guardian(Alfred Pennyworth) only to adopt Bruce as his own.

While nurturing Bruce's anger and instructing him in combat, Ra's uses the Wayne fortune and Waynetech to expand his criminal empire. As the years pass Bruce establishes himself as the world's greatest assassin and the heir apparent to Ra's criminal empire.

Topping the list of the Mossad's, CIA's, British Intelligence, and FBI's most wanted lists, Batman is considered the most dangerous criminal in the world. Not even the Justice League has had success in apprehending him despite their numerous encounters.

Big thanks to Cas for the skope and Bevo for creating the custom sword which you can see more of below:

I'd say no boots. They're a bit too "peter pan". Plus without them it makes it look like the costume was formed around him as a second skin, which considering his atomic re-arrangement powers would probably be what he wears

No boots here, just because I think it looks better without them. The boots unbalance the design, somewhat.

No reason why you cant just release both of t. The real Atom has dozens of little design changes in his costume. But, for what its worth, I like it without the red boots.

With DC merging the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents into the DCU I decided to throw a few of them into the Ultimate DC project. First one is NoMan, I based my design off of JG Jones concept of him. It was too cool to go unused. If you're unfamiliar with NoMan, click here (http://www.comicvine.com/noman/29-46474/).

NoMan

QuoteAnthony Dunn was one of the CIA's longest tenured and most successful field agents. Enthusiastic about his career, Dunn delayed his retirement until he was physically unable to perform it.

In contract with the CIA, LexCorp was looking for volunteers to partake in Project: NoMan. Project: NoMan was a durable android body with cloaking technology and advanced side-arm weaponry but required a human brain to operate. The CIA wanted an experienced 'operator' and provided LexCorp a handful of possible test subjects. All but Dunn declined participation. Anthony Dunn would now serve the CIA until his synthetic body was destroyed. Field designate: NoMan.

But don't you think the boots become the focal point because of the negative space(blue).? My eyes go straight to the boots when I look at it. I'll probably throw in a .png or something of the boots.

Nah...it balances out the look of the charater IMO. Without the boots it looks sorta incomplete. But I understand why you might think so. Hows about adding the boot "details" on the blue...following the design of the character as a whole.

I agree, the shading on the rest of the model is quite striking, but the orange seems a little less dense. They almost look a little glow-in-the-dark.

But as a combo, orange and black is fine. I feel as though the orange should be distributed around a bit more.

It probably isn't your monitor; I desaturated the orange three times in increments of -20. It's still the focal point, of course, but it was too much so at higher saturation levels.

Hawk & Dove
(http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3750/dovebio.png)(http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5097/hawkbio.png)
QuoteDolph and Hahns Hüller were twins born as Meta Human gene positive in Munich, Germany. During their teenage years, Hahns' physical size, strength, speed, and agility increased to levels beyond peak human conditions and continued to improve over time. Dolph, however, found that his mind was capable of moving objects without breaking a sweat, he could read thoughts, and influence their ability to make decisions. Hahns' athleticism led him to a life of fame and fortune playing for Bayern Munich, Germany's most popular football club. Dolph pursued a career as an artist and attended Akademie Bildenden Kuenste Muenchen.

After the devastation of Freidberg, Freudenstadt, Stuttgart, Baden, and their surrounding regions at the hands of Mongul, German Prime Minister Albrecht Krieger legislated extreme anti-Meta Human laws. All citizens are administered blood tests. Any testing positive for the Meta Human gene are immediately detained and transported to undisclosed facilities. Fearful for their and their parents' well being, Dolph and Hahns flee as well.

Their abilities made escaping easier, but the atrocities committed against those caught were too grim for the brothers to ignore. Donning costumes to protect their identities, the two went from fugitives to renegades as they took the offensive, or to protect those that couldn't protect themselves. Their guerrilla style heroics became international stories that caught the attention of many, including Ted Kord, future heir of Kord Industries and current vigilante, Blue Beetle. Inspired by the brothers' selflessness, Kord uses his resources to find homes for displaced German refugees. Eventually, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold joined the brothers in Germany to help directly.

Great, simply great design... Not only You created skin of my favorite T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agent, but also "modernized" him better, than the guys from DC on the recent revival of the title. Only thing missing is a backstory... I do love to read Your takes on the classic characters. Now I'm waiting for Menthor and Lighting ;)

As always sorry for my grammar.

I'm a stickler for the original designs, but, yeah, this is particularly good. Just looking at it you know it's Dynamo (Len Brown, just a little bit older, too, from the looks of it). Noman and Menthor had less than dynamic costumes (I mean, c'mon, Menthor had The Atom's costume instead of something original), and could do with a make-over.

Post by: docdelorean88 on December 04, 2010, 10:56:25 PM
My opinion, is that could be considered an Ultimate Earth (insert Number here) superman, ultimate kingdom come(which would be a whole other beast to get into, your version of Kingdom Come) or, and i think this fits kinda well, it could be superman post kingdom come. :) It still incorperates his new logo, but keeps some of his classic style.
Title: Re: Murs47's Casa de Crazy: Superman 12/1
Post by: Blkcasanova247 on December 05, 2010, 02:16:33 PM
Nice one bro. Personally...THIS should be your "Ultimate" Superman. The other lacked the "iconic" feel...and this design brings it right back. Two things I might suggest is the pattern around the "S" symbol...maybe put more of it on him somewhere else like the inner forearm and around the wrist and the inner calf. Second thing...change the boots...I think the "classic" boot style doesn't quite do it for this ultra modern design. ;) Just my two cents.

Iron Fist is done, I just need to upload him. Area34 mentioned he was going to do John Stewart.

Just create 4-6 diagnol lines of equal distance apart. (Make the lines a thickness of 1 or 2 pixels.)

Make a square selection anywhere within your lines and go to Edit > Define Pattern. Select your Paint Bucket tool and switch Foreground to Pattern and select your new pattern from the list.

I like how they remind me of what RL superheroes would wear. Can we get the profile shot on him? I see the leg design and would like to see all the details you've added.

Oh quick suggestion, why not make the lightning bolt area between the yellow black? I think it would add a new dimension to the costume and would drive home the "black lightning" moniker a little more.

Oh as always phenomenal work murs, ol' boy.

Nice work as always Murs, refreshing to see a different use of the lightning insignia e.g. Horisontal instead of vertical or diagonal. It gives an individual look.

Love the texture and trim detail on the costume which you have made your trademark.

Not a bad idea. I prefer the all blue but I'll make it a 2 pack for those that prefer some black in there. This actually would only take me 2 seconds because I saved a back-up .psd with layers for this skin. I'm finally learning. ^_^

Tomato hates me because his boyfriend has a crush on me. Well, with CoF down I'm not really sure when it'll be released.

Hope you didn`t mind that but Technically speaking, does n`t mean that Tomato is a babe or perhaps a female whatsoever and if his boyfriend has a crush on you does n`t that means you are a babe as well and perhaps a hot one too(reason for his attraction)..................and so begins the 'War of the Babes'.........And maybe the 'War of female versions of The Rock and Cena'  ...........Just kidding guys and perhaps you guys should actually consider 'Just for Laughs and Gags'  :lol:  :lol: :lol:  .So ease the workload and just simply laugh for once.

Thanks! Dude ,Ohh...well glad i could be of service bro! In fact perhaps its great that it helped you maybe to a good extent. Don`t mind This Guys but Don`t you think this community lacks in some particular spark in some specific unknown field as well as happiness and a little bit of excitement . Cause it should n`t be all about work , work and some more work but rather with a blend of enjoyment and play as well would totally ease up the tension in the process not only making it fun for us but even greater fun for you guys the skinners,the meshers, the skopers and several other guys of similar fields.

Its neither a comment nor even a demand and neither any sort of suggestion but rather its an idea. So Chillax , take some beer or soda whatever you prefer, and just sip away so you could easily lighten you up for a minute or two and watch the Avengers Season 2 or Young Justice Episodes or Transformers Prime so on so forth and maybe order a pizza and then you know what to do. And that pretty fun for all and all for Fun. Woww! that was a nice advice but actually turned out to be a big lecture. And Oops really very sorry for posting this in your Skins Thread Murs . Hope it help and affect you and many others in a good way.  :)

Catman

(http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5985/ultcatman.jpg)

Colonel Thomas Blake, a meta-human with a regenerative healing factor, was the commanding officer of a US Army Special Forces unit, code named: Secret Six. Assigned the most improbable missions in the middle east, Blake's unit never failed. An expert hand to hand combatant, strategist, and field leader, Blake was heavily recruited by the CIA to lead the Suicide Squad. Blake had heard rumors of the league's existence but was unaware of how much they had infiltrated the UN and facets of the US Government and all of its agencies. His deep commitment to his country was all he needed to volunteer for the Six. Due to the need for discretion, all Suicide Squad members are given a codename. Blake's designate was now Catman.

Yes, he is an intentional reflection of Wolverine.

Wow, some really amazing work here recently Murs.  I LOVE the face on that Ultimate Catman.  That's really great facework.  I like the reflection of his symbol in his scar, or perhaps, vice-versa.  I do have one critique though, but you should take it with the heaping helping of salt that my lack of artistic talent implies.  I think, given the rich, dark color of his pants and gloves, the yellow of his shirt is a bit too bright.  Making it a bit more golden and darker would make for a better balance, methinks.  Then again, what do I know? :P

Yes, Pod. Consider it a new trend of mine. I will ONLY preview skins on my birthday from now on.
I miss Deathlok too...sounds so odd. He's an excellent character under Aaron and Remender.

Eh, it's ok. The white is kind of flat and bland in general, but the mask in particular has no real texture to it. Red on the buckle is overly bright, so that it doesn't seem to be beveled in the way the reds of deathlok's symbols are. Now, the blacks are up to your usual standard, but the contrast of shading is almost glaring next to the blah white sections of the costume.

I'm sorry Murs, but I just don't think this skin was any good. It's a real shame too, because all your other X-force work here has been great.
Title: Re: Murs47's Casa de Crazy: Fantomex 5/13
Post by: laughing paradox on May 14, 2012, 03:53:57 AM
Fantomex is a rough character due to his very dull design. He dresses all in white.. and yeah. Even Moon Knight is better designed.

With that said, I think you did a very cool job with this guy. I personally don't like the black lightning on the legs. I don't mind the chest design going up to the mask, that's kind of cool.

I like the skin and I like how it's a little off-white. There's a reason you're one of the best skinners in this community, amigo.

Dearest Murs,

I told you my opinion already, but I agree with what LP said. Fantomex's costume isn't visually appealing in general, so I don't think there's much you can do about that without redesigning it. I know you didn't want to do the L. bolts in the first place, but I think they came out alright minus the area we spoke about earlier. Overall, I think you did a good job, and the skin is perfectly adequate. Definitely not your best, but that's not really a fault of yours.  Do work, son!

I don't know if I care for the actual design, but great execution Murs. My only nitpick is the belt buckle, it seems a bit off-center to me, but I'm not familiar with Fantomex, so if that was intentional as part of the design, just ignore me.

I'm sad he left the team in the latest issue.

Hmmm,

Not feeling the face much. I feel like she should look younger, and the vibe I get from your current version is more "little, old Asian lady." (Oh, hey... someone should skin Dragon Lady!) It's very "soft," and Psylocke usually has stronger, more defined features in many of her appearances.  And looking at the sash, I'm really starting to think it just doesn't photograph well. But, like Fantomex, her costume is boring, so there's not much there to attract your eye visually.

I somewhat agree. That little "old lady Asian" feel actually comes from the width of the head part of the mesh. Also, I referenced a Japanese super model and not any versions of Psylocke. I can try a different hair piece that'll cover both sides of the head to make it look more narrow or perhaps tomato can edit this and make the head more narrow. I dont really feel like re-skinning a character I dont care about so that's about the only options I'm willing to go with. Sorry Prevy-Prev.

Murs, don't you blame me for your (many) problems. The mesh is itself fine, just look at my Detourne skin for the same base mesh. It's not the meshes' fault you don't skin female characters enough to know what you're doing with face skins.

And speaking of problems, you should probably adjust the levels on the black sections, the highlights are almost blurry right now.

I think the face issue is all about the eyebrows and lips. Arch those eyebrows and make her lips a bit fuller and poutier. Right now she looks a bit like Bruce Lee.

With that said, I can not skin faces AT ALL, so please don't be offended by my critique. You are an incredible skinner and I love your work!

I think the face is beautiful. Not many people realize this but Betsy is easily Beast's age and here she looks no older than 33 - which seems appropriate giving Kwannon was likely younger than Betsy at the time of the switch. I am incredibly sadden that we were given British Betsy for a few issues and again her true self be taken away but this skin makes it a little better.

She was, but then she was killed and her soul was put into the body of a hot asian chick... or something.

AA, the problem I have (and I'd venture to guess it's the problem others in here are expressing) isn't that the face is "old" or whatever, it's that it's just not very much like Psylocke. Murs admits to patterning it after an Asian model rather then the actual character, and it shows through to the final result: It looks like a skin of a model, not a kick butt Asian character.

I'm releasing my base skin to you, the people. Do whatever you want with it. Make babies with it. Touch yourself the first time you open it. In fact, you can't use it unless you do.

You can also kitbash all my skins and there's no need to give me credit. Say you made them from scratch. Say you spent hours on them. Say it's a culmination of your blood, sweat, tears, and fecal matter. Say it. I don't care. If someone harasses you about it just tell them to run in traffic...or play with matches at a gas station.

Base Skin (http://www.mediafire.com/download/6e6m6nxhyy1snd5/m47_base.psd)

Esteban Rogerio (http://www.mediafire.com/download/88ezccueearkejm/steve_rogers.psd) <--- a near finished skin of Steve Rogers. I figured it might be useful for someone that's new to examine it and learn a thing or two about a thing or two

If anyone wants to host these, knock yourself out. Again, the community can do whatever it wants with it. Ditto my skins.

... You rat fink son of a Loki. I was getting ready to release MY base next week, and now I can't, because it'll look like I'm just copying your dumb self. How dare you do this to me, after all those times I pawned Prev off on you to sleep with. How dare you sir.

Yeah, .PSD is for photoshop only, I'm afraid.  I'm not sure if there are any third party programs that are free that could open the .PSD files.

When you open up the Base Skin, look at the Layers, you will notice that there are 20+ Layers to the Base Skin. The Colossus Base is second from the bottom.

Cyber - I don't know how to do that. I went to the Layers menu and clicked "show all" but nothing happened. I can't see the other 19, nor can I find a way to toggle/advance to them.

It's been a while. A long while. Figured I'd wipe the dust off something Windblown and I collaborated on for Marvel Legacy. Well, 1/5th of it at least. The other 4/5ths was just chit-chat...names and ideas.

Introducing: Kanika Farouk, aka Marvel Girl // Illegitimate child of the Shadow King(Amahl Farouk).

I don't have CTool installed to create some preview pics but here is a zip file (http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=44675375147513264988&t=4467537514751326498828301) of the skin and skope.

Windblown blew my mind with this skope. His magic happens on certain animations. Don't recall which ones though. Cheers all!

Thanks all! I'm actually curious what it looks like now too. Maybe I'll give CTool on the Mac a shot sometime today.

While I was hunting this down I realized everything I've ever made is gone. I thought I backed it all up too. Guess not. (I had to find this skin/skope in emails between Windblown and I.)

Thank you all! But, it's not too big of an issue. I think most of everything I've made can still be found on FoP. It was the unfinished/unreleased stuff that's now gone forever. Ah well. If I can't remember exactly what it was, does it really matter?

You guys are fantastic for being so willing to help! I think I've forgotten how swell this place is. *insert blush emoji*

Benton, it's 2019, why aren't we using the latest and greatest in emoji technology with the forums? The current stock isn't enough to convey the complexity of my emotional state.

Great to see you back in creating stuff for FF your stuff  is always amazing! Soooo you like 40k stuff I guess why not try your skills on that?  I try to update my 40k stuff while I gain access to my tablet and files again, i have a chaos marine half baked so just send a pm with mail if you want, you could use them as a base or for pieces, I think there aren't any major bugs since I have not received any bad report from the other testers...

Man, if I had the money, I'd totally be running Tyranids and Necrons.

Been playing some tabletop on Tabletop Simulator and I love my 'Nids.

I'm super new to the tabletop game (long time love of Warhammer though) so my army probably isn't too great.

My army is 500 pts and I've got:

Hive Fleet Hydra
1x Broodlord
25x Termagants with Spike Rifles
12x Hormagants
12x Hormagants (another unit to split up for flanking)
1x Lictor (to get rid of blasted snipers)
1x [Distraction] Carnifex

Can't wait to see your alpha legion murs! i have started a black legion chaos marine some months ago, now have to wait a temporal window to finish it, warhammer 40k offer certainly a very fascinating universe, wich basically rotate around this fascist pseudo religious "empire of men" , while the tabletop game could like or not, the design of the units and miniatures is extremely fitting for this kind of game, nowadays like in the 90s is still very appreciated, so basically a marriage between  :ff: and warhammer40k with a mod could bring many new players and also fit perfectly cause are two oldies but goodies..well all that i can do now is try to built material when i have the opportunity.

It definitely sounds like you know what you're doing. The Carnifex model is so frickin sweet! You honestly have a lot going on for 500 points. How cheap is a Carnifex? And what's this Tabletop Simulator thing?

I'm currently making sure I have a Battalion Attachment for the extra 5 CPs. Other than that, rule of cool all the way.

My 500 point roster:

QuoteHQ
1. Chaos Lord w/ jump pack [Alpha Legion Chainsword Relic + Power Fist]
2. Exalted Champion [Power Axe + Chainsword]

TROOPS
3. 5-Man CSM Squad [Champ: Power Fist / Rest: Chainswords + Bolt Pistols]
4. 5-Man CSM Squad [Champ: Power Sword / Special: Plasma / Rest: Boltguns]
5. 5-Man CSM Squad [Champ: Combi-Bolter / Heavy: Autocannon / Rest: Boltguns]

FAST ATTACK
6. Raptors [Champ: Lightning Claws x2 / Rest: Chainswords + Bolt Pistols]

I probably should go ranged instead of melee due to the Alpha Legion trait, but melee is so much cooler! Less than half are painted as well so I won't be finding out how this roster works for a while.

I will definitely show them off when I finish them. I think painting these things is my new form of skinning. It was a tough choice for me between Black Legion, Alpha Legion, and Night Lords. BL has the coolest relics and strategems for sure.

The Imperium is so ridiculously xenophobic and stagnant, if not down right regressive. It reminds me of the Crusades...except with technology 40,000 years from our own future. So ridiculous.

I can definitely see a Kill Team mod for  :ffvstr: . In fact, that sounds like a perfect match.

lI wish I knew what I was doing, haha

If by how expensive it is you mean points-wise, it's 106pts. Money-wise, I don't know. This is all in Tabletop Simulator

Tyranids are a very swarmy faction. Their basic troops (the Gants) are super cheap and very numerous (which makes them expensive to buy because you have to get a lot of them, lol).

Tabletop Simulator is a game on Steam that lets you play any boardgame out there (well, not EVERY boardgame, but a lot of them). There are tons of easy-to-install mods (literally one click and you're good to go) and with Warhammer 40k being so popular, there are tons of mods that include many of the most recent models. It's super helpful being able to build and test armies in there before looking to see how much it would all cost.

It's also a lot easier to find people to play with on there. And you can make the army of your dreams without having to actually buy a million models. Downside is that you can't paint them which is half the fun, lol.

Chaos is one of my faves, aestheticly. I remember when I first saw them in Dawn of War when I was little and was like "THAT IS SO FREAKIN COOOOOL!!" Rule of Cool for Life :P

And dude, melee is so much fun! That's why I'm going Nids just so I can swarm people and melee them to death. Sucks fighting Eldar, Imperial Guard, and Tau, though. They just blast away everything that I have, lol. My very first game was against an Eldar player and she destroyed all of my troops before I even got to her lines. It was great!

She also didn't tell me about CP or what detachments are, lol

Is there a Khorne build that you can go for? If you want to smash some heads with your power axes, Khorne's your guy.
