Skins @ Hive World Terra

Team Colourable Imperial Guard Buildings released

Having released some Fixed-colour camouflaged Imperial Guard buildings previously, Havoc has now released a set of Team Colourable Imperial Guard Buildings.

These new textures make all of the concrete areas of the Imperial Guard buildings teamcolourable, instead of standard grey.

New Hands of Fate Chaos releases

Newly added are two downloads from Hands of Fate, both revolving around Chaos.

The first is the Chaos Sorcerer Fix, which corrects a minor issue with the Sorcerer's eyes when you used bright colours.

The second, Chaos Dreadnought Icons, are a useful resource for any mod team making a Chaos mod - all of whom seem to be including a Dreadnought for Chaos. These icons are not directly useful to normal gamers, and so have been included in our Skinning and Modding Resources section.

Many thanks to Hands of Fate for letting us host his downloads (which were previously hosted with SaveFile.com).

Briarus' Renegades Added

Due to other work (Final Year University stuff) it took a day and a half, but I have now added Briarus' Renegade submission.

The Renegade army schemes set contains eight .teamcolour files, three badges and two banners for new renegade chapters created by Briarus.

Lamenters Mod released

Following a few pre-release revisions, Telboy007's Lamenters Mod is now available.

Taking advantage of the recently released Dawn of War Texture Tool, the Lamenters Mod replaces the Blood Ravens in the original Dawn of War campaign with Space Marines from the Lamenters chapter (thanks to Hangar-8's badge and banner set).

Updated teamcolours from Crystalking52

Crystalking52 has recently submitted some updates to the his Campaign Ork and 412th Cadian Regiment teamcolours. These v1.1 teamcolours make some minor changes to the colours for an even better match.

Screenshots for these downloads will be added soon.

Hangar-8's downloads migrated (again)

Having moved his site over to ConcreteJunglePrimitives.com for a short while, Hangar-8 has decided to relocate back to his own domain.

All downloads and links should now have been corrected to point to his new site at wh40k.ei8ht.net. If you have any problems with any of the downloads or links, please contact me.

Team Colourable Vindicare Assassin

We now have yet another skin released by Havoc.

The Team Colourable Vindicare Assassin was made and released following a request on the Relic Forums.

The new skin does mean that your Assassin may not always be camouflaged, depending on your colour scheme, but he will be more easily distinguishable from the Assassins of other teams.

Downloadable Tutorials

Following Cagecrawler's recent Offline Resources topic, several useful tutorials were made available in a downloadable form for those who don't have constant access to the Internet.

Having originally hosted some of the files on savefile.com, Cagecrawler has now taken up the offer to host them on Skins @ Hive World Terra in the Skinning and Modding Resources section.

Currently available are the Level Design Tutorial, Relic ScarDoc and UVW Mapping Tutorial.

Further 'offlined' tutorials will be made available as they're released by Cagecrawler. We may even see the RDN Wiki available at some point, although it's proving to be a big task!

New error handler installed

Work has just been completed on a new error handler for the site. The most important thing for visitors is that, should they hit a broken link, the page is now more in-keeping with the rest of the site.

As an additional feature the error handler also acts as a redirecter, so links such as skins.hiveworldterra.co.uk/TextureTool/ that redirect to the appropriate page no longer need to be put into a set of rules that are checked on every single page load.

If you notice and problems, please tell me.
