Oh well, now that almost everyone following this thread has seen them, I can officially preview them and give some info.
New Guards of the Citadel and King's spears - retaining design elements of the old versions, although rigging and uv-mapping has been cleaned up and improved where needed:
So, what is this about? We didn't have a modeller for the units in a long time, and the modellers that joined to tweak and fix the existing models here and there all left at some time, all busy with their own work.
Since I learned how to model, uv-map and rig unit models during the past 6 months, I've accumulated quite a huge resource of nicely rigged and uv-mapped meshes. A few weeks ago, I realized that tweaking and fixing several dozen models can become quite daunting quickly and also is not very rewarding. So looking at my resources, I decided to basically re-do all unit models. The above is just the beginning. This will, of course impact the time schedule a bit, but I we feel it's worth it. Rest assured that the new unit models will be previewed regularly.
