New Army Painter mod from Crystalking

Crystalking52 has now released an Army Painter mod of his own. The Crystalking Army Painter Mod adds all of the units to the Army Painter list, updates some of the models to show more fitting equipment (such as Fire Dragons with Fusion Guns and Ork Tankbustas with Rokkit Launchas) and adds Chaos Black and Skull White to the painter list.

Also, there is currently a Reviler's banner pending, created and submitted by Black Fang, but we need him to contact us about the download.

Downloads from Dakka!Dakka!

Dakka!Dakka! has created and submitted two new downloads, with another one he's hinted will be available some time soon. The Pre-Heresy Alpha Legion army scheme has now reached v1.2, complete with extra detailing on the banner.

As a completely new download, though, Dakka!Dakka! has submitted an Imperial Guard reskin. Similar to my existing White Badged Cadians, but without making the badge white, Dakka!Dakka!s Cadian Gate Guardsmen make the shoulder badge look more like the Cadian Gate symbol and less like a circle under a triangle.

Thanks to Dakka!Dakka! for both of those submissions.

SGA Explorer released

Having released a command-line SGA Extractor back in January, people had requested a graphical version to use instead of Relic's Mod Packager, SpookyRAT or Corsix's SGA Reader.

Now that all of my exams are over and I'm waiting to move out and begin my new career, I've completed the first release of the graphical SGA Explorer. The SGA Explorer is designed to work like Windows Explorer, but comments and suggestions on how well it does that are always welcome.

The latest version of the SGA Explorer can always be found at skins.hiveworldterra.co.uk/SGAExplorer/.

Missing thumbnails fixed

Following our recent host move I noticed that some of the thumbnail images were missing. I've now fixed the problem and all images should now be available. Sorry to anyone who was expecting thumbnails and couldn't see them!

Skins At HWT has moved host

Apologies for any inconvenience (mainly for anyone trying to add any downloads) but Skins@HWT has now moved to a new server.

The old server was getting overloaded, and our old host had introduced some strange new things into their Terms of Service that stopped us hosting some of our downloads. The new host, A Small Orange, has a much more reasonable Terms of Service and doesn't overload its servers.

If anyone sees any remaining niggling issues, please contact me.

Coloured 412th Cadian banner added

Newly submitted and approved is Reaper_3_Delta's 412th Cadian banner. Based on the original banner from Dawn of War:Winter Assault, this 'coloured' banner keeps the image but makes it more colourful.

Thanks to Reaper_3_Delta for the submission, and hopefully other people will feel the original banner was too plain as well.

Screenshot update

Due to the fact that I've often been busy with other projects while uploading files, and that the authors did not include screenshots or links to them, several downloads have been missing example screenshots for a while now.

All has been corrected, though, and screenshots should now be available for all downloads! Enjoy.

A suggestion from Hands of Fate

Hands of Fate, who has submitted several files to Skins@HWT, has just posted a general comment to all file submitters.

As well as Hand of Fate's suggestion of including screenshots to show off your contribution, it'd also be great if people could include readmes with installation instructions, relevant disclaimers and contact details. I'll post an article on appropriate disclaimers for inclusion in readmes soon.

Four new downloads

Thanks to a variety of submitters, we now have four new downloads. There was a slight delay with approving some of them due to the fact that I have been away from my computer on a recruitment assessment centre, but they are now available.

First up is Nate Waters' great personal scheme for Arhalathain - The Midnight Storm, an Eldar faction he uses in table-top Warhammer 40,000.

Briarus has now submitted his seventh file in the form of the Silver Eagles Space Marines.

Kokuten, who is also a Hive World Terra forum member, has also submitted a custom-army scheme for his table top army: the 8th Liberators Space Marines. The colour scheme is the one used it his forum avatar.

Finally, Skritz has released a pack of Inquisitor colour schemes. Although the pack doesn't include badges and banners (as they are ones Skritz found) I can definitely recommend the Grey Knights from Hangar-8's collection.

As with the last update, I'll be adding screenshots and images as soon as possible.

Declined download

Despite having a number of approvable downloads, and various links detailing what is and isn't acceptable on this site due to legal restrictions from Games Workshop, I have just declined another download.

The "LOK: soul reaver banner and badge" download from blabsy (which was, in fact, a .teamcolour file) has been declined as the original submission did not comply with our submission guidelines, and the file did not match the description in any way, shape or form.

The file can now be found listed on the declined downloads page, along with all other declined downloads.
