Dune: Arrakeen Wars - Its almost ready!

[Dunenewt]

The work is still great though!

[Nyerguds]

nice, but how does it unfold? It seems like the support beam under the cannon just appears out of nowhere.

[Dunenewt]

That pops up from within, I think.

[Nyerguds]

well unless the lower joint is originally inside the front of the vehicle and then moves to the back while unfolding, I can't really see where it'd pop up from...

[Dunenewt]

Why could it not pop up from underneath, like the Pop-Up turret in Emperor?

I do like the idea of it being in the front actually, and moving to the back somehow, it would look sweet in game when it deploys.

[acid-crash]

The deployment and a position of joints are the same as in Emperor, the only additions i made are front panels. When beginning deployment panels slides left and right (as in second picture), turret and a joint moves backwards and then up. In the end front panels moves down to the ground for better fixation of a vehicle (third picture)

[Dunenewt]

You did very well to fit in with the theme of their concept artist.  Perhaps you could send it to him to see what he thinks, and if he does like it, he can add colour.

[acid-crash]

Actually I meant to stay in concept theme, trying to not move much from it

About a contacts Well I think if shmafoozius and ccgx that my scratches are useful they could inform their concept artist.

P.S. IMO my work are far from the finish they are only scratches in fact,

but the idea and a realization of a model are interesting for some other purposes.

Ahh, right, I see :)

Because vehicles can't be partially underground? :P

we already got a concept artist... and it's just useless to have now concepts if you create the models soonest in a year or so

Shouldnt the title of this subject be renamed as ...its almost ready...if its 2010!

Well it’s very interesting and unique, especially when we are divided with half of a planet :) When I saw your first concept it was a big push for me. Your design is very simple, very interesting, and very Hi-tech at a time. For me it’s difficult to create something from a blank page. And your design concepts showed me a starting point for scratching.

No news from this in a while...has it died?

I'm a little new to the board.  But I have for the longest time have been waiting for another new dune game to come out after beating EBFD, and now you guys are making one which look very impressive. 

If you guys are still looking for more ideas... the Swordmasters of Ginaz is a fairly wicked idea which comes from Butlerian trilogy (Butlerian Jihad, Machine Crusades, Battle of Corrin), which they have holtzman grenades and pistols for long range weapons against machinery, and electric-resonating swords for combat with machines.  This would make this unit very useful as an infantry against vehicular units.

"It's almost ready!" - well, that was a big lie. :)
