As for for most iconic commanders my list would be:
  • Force commander
  • Warboss
  • Farseer
  • Hive Tyrant*
  • Chaos Sorceror
  • Lord General
  • Brother Captain huehue? :p
*More likely the Swarm Lord since it's a very big Hive Tyrant. Not a hero I know.

Again very nice work like always!


Thanks Riku ^^ Glad you like the stuff coming ;)
Anyways :3
Thats pretty much what I have in mind too =) Tho, IG got the first already ;)
Only difference that I'd chose the Chaos Lord + Lord Commissar over the sorcerer/general :P
For eldar, some might argue a Warlock, but Farseer is THE iconic figure in the race in my humble opinion xD And I agree on the Swarm Lord :3 Its just a much epic scaled Hive Tyrant tbh xD

Agreed, looks as sweet as ever. The commissar is so pretty. The chaos sorceror/lord general are more iconic than the chaos lord/lord commies though Riku? Are you sure 0.o?

Well I'll elaborate my reasons on those then ^^

The Lord General seems the right choice to me since he has the official higher rank and as a result is more rare in an IG regiment. Commissars are found everywhere in an IG regiment. They are even mere squad leaders in the game ^^ Although they can assume full command when they see fit, they have to give command back to the officers at the end of a battle. Commissars are mainly there to keep any soldier, no matter the rank they posses, from failing its duties to the Emperor and the Imperium by any means they see fit, usually execution as to set an example for the others ^^
I completely understand if those exact same reasons make a Commisar the way to go though :p

As for the Chaos Sorcerer. He already has this great link with the warp since he's a psycher and a real "witch". Just seems more fitting and interesting for Chaos to me.

Just give this guy a medal !!! Great work !!!

Anyway when GK portraits are done, could you finish other factions ?
Eldar needs dark reapers and fire dragons, orks - flash gitz, tyranid - malan`tai and chaos - chaos terminator.
Beside this i think new icons for dire avenger aspect, bansee 2 aspects, chaos termies call-in, gk purgators ability (little blueish flames) will be welcome.
Your work is awesome. Elite mod would not have been as good as it is without you. :)
For the Emperor skurwysyny !

If it was any old commissar I would agree, but this is not, this is a commissar lord and they're basically the same as the lord general - second in charge in the hierachy, but unlike the general's they're absolutely badass, not old men. I think they warrant some idolising more than the general personally :P (also note lord general is not lord general militant which itself is a higher rank)

And chaos lord's can be psykers too, while also kicking much more ass in melee combat, they also look better too imo, despite sorcerer's perhaps being more interesting, you probably can't deny that overall chaos lords are more iconic than the sorcerers.

Riku, we could argue about anything :P

What's your favourite colour?

And also, good god are these smilies awful.

a chaos lord is really just the leader of a chaos warband. same issue that dow2 has with the force commander really. by that i mean that they can came in a wide variety of forms.

Given the conversation on here a good while ago thought I'd come up with a helmet for the Inquisitorial Stormtrooper loosely based on Kilgarn's artwork...

I quite like it actually :3 Its a nice thing that GK inquisitorial stormtroopers would look slightly different to their "normal" IG cousins ;)

Could we use this (these?) as the post-game faction specific loading screen(s) perhaps?

I'm not sure what the resolution on those is but at least 1900 wide, maybe 2000+.

fyi i play the game at 2560x1440. the current game gets a little screwy above 1920x1080 though. i don't remember what is is but there's a resolution higher than mine; it's like 2560x1600 or something.

Sure I originally intended to use these as login screen wallpapers :3

Just say what resolution you guys need specifically and I'll make them ^^
It would take only a few minutes to do so :D


EDIT:
I think it might be easier if I just do them for all resolution sizes XD XD

i'd suggest you just make them at 2560x1440, what ever the 19:10 equivalent is, and call it good. people can resize it themselves or have windows do it and it saves you a lot of hassle. as long as the object in the center fits within 4:5 and 3:4 the outer edges don't matter much. heck, you could just do something that fits at 19:10 and leave it at that.

Hm didnt know that actually :D :D
Need to look up that 19:10 ratio then ^^ It will save a lot of hassle for me too if I can just use that alone to cover all the bases :D

1080p (aka FHD and BT.709) is a set of HDTV high-definition video modes characterized by 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution[1] and progressive scan, as opposed to interlaced, as is the case with the 1080i display standard. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a resolution of 1920×1080 (2.1 megapixel) often marketed as Full HD.
