Ditto. We'll have to design a logo and paint scheme for the ssx players. I'm thinking something along the lines of the old Tribes 2 skins. Maybe a bit more blue and less silver.

I didn't necessarily mean starting a division, though that would be pretty cool. I'll get to work on a few colour schemes and run them past you some time.

Well I've had a play around with the army painter, and I've come up with something. It looks better on Eldar than anything else. Mostly grey with blue detail. I'll get a screen dump of them when I can.

EDIT

Not done one for Orks yet, as I think it'll look very bland on them. I'm using preset colours (midnight blue and fortress grey, mainly) so it can be tweaked, and the star of chaos is there as a temporary measure until we manage to get a targa file done of the SSX star. Please bear with me on this one, it was only about 4 minutes work. Comments, critique and suggestions are welcome, of course.

Is the Targa file a tif then? and if so, what are the requirements? size? 8-bit, 24bit?

Let me know and I will get you a copy of the star in that format.

Targa is .tga. Shoulder icons must be 64x64, preferably 32bit. Banners must be 64x96, again in 32bit. If you wanna get a little fancy, do it on the banner. Keep the shoulder pads to the basic star that you see at the top of the page ;).

Well, blue and grey seems to be the theme around here, so I guess I rolled with it ;)

Here, try these ones:

Image <-- Sholder start
Image <-- For the flag

I doubt they look that great, I just threw them together. But if you could give some pics of them in action I would love it.

Thanks..

I can only view those pics in my browser through a quicktime plug-in. I can't save them. Ideally, the shoulder one should have a transparent background, sorta like a water slide transfer. The banner can be anything really, but a fancy logo looks best.

Maester - yes, you can use custom images on your units and strategic points, and people you play against online can see them as custom images are transferred before a game.

These are what i used for the badge and banner logo's, for some reason my flag appeared ingame with a white background instead of transparent, even though i saved it exactly the same as i did the badge o.O

-Badge image
-Banner image

Colour scheme was:
Primary - 44, 44, 60
Secondary - Black
Trim - White
Weapon - Black
Eyes - 119, 5, 7

Me likes! :D, I'll see if i can make a better scheme when i get the full game :)

Well that one beats the hell out of my attempt. Wanted to try to keep the shoulder pads lighter to show off the badge more, but it works on yours. I can't say I'm a massive fan of the banner though. I think it needs to be a lot darker, and I reckon it could do without the SSX bit on it. Just the star, looking a little more fancy than the shoulderpad, would do it I reckon. But that's just my opinion.

And anyway, I think the Shattered Stars is actually a good name for a chapter ;)

I'll see if i can make a better banner when i figure out how to make it transparent like the badge, instead of that awful white background which i didn't want :) *goes looking around the net


-Its really cool playing with your army wearing your clan logo hehe ;D
