Storm Lords texture available
Newly added (following the creation of a Storm Lords banner and badge set by Hangar-8) is the Storm Lords compatible Halved infantry with changable helmets texture. This texture is an addition to the Halved Space Marine texture that was previously available, replacing the normal Space Marine and Terminator textures but using the same vehicle textures.
Ork and Eldar textures, plus badges and banners
I've now added the first Ork texture to the site (or the first Ork texture since the previous one, hosted at tigerwolf.cc died with no-one to supply me with a copy to host) - Grimjaw's Orks. This texture adds Eye colourable warpaint to the lower jaw of all Orks and is based on my Waagh! Grimjaw table top army.
I've also released the eldar Guardian from a Codex Craftworld Eldar texture set I had planned a while ago. It allows you to create some colour schemes that more closely match some found in Codex:Craftworld Eldar, including the alternate Biel-Tan Swordwind colours.
Also added are some Space Marine badges and banners - a full badge, banner and teamcolour pack for the Imperial Fists plus two badges and two teamcolour files for the quartered Novamarines chapter.
The Mentor Legion arrive
Following requests and some previous ideas on the matter (see the badly informed first attempt in the form of the Alternate Space Marine Infantry) I have now created and added the Mentor Legion patter. The pattern includes textures for all chapter coloured infantry, plus the dreadnought (because it is roughly human) and even features the company coloured stripe on the helmet!
I've also added an updated Team Colour for the Mentors, a Mentor Legion badge, plus an example image for the Chaos Undivided army scheme
Masked Space Marines unleashed
Having given you a preview of the new Space Marines last night in the previous news article, I have now unleashed them as the Masked Space Marines!
Also, sorry to anyone who has downloaded the Camouflage v2 or Tactical Helmet Replacement textures and wondered what to do with them. The download has now been fixed and people with existing downloads just need to add a .zip extension to their files.
Crimson Fists and Chaos Undivided Badges and Banners
Newly added are a Crimson Fists Chapter Scheme (chapter badge, banner and teamcolour file) and a Chaos Undivided army scheme (two banners, a badge and a teamcolour file). Both packs are also available as separate badge and banner downloads.
Codex Apothecary and Librarian texture added
I've created a new Codex Librarian and Apothecary texture for those people who want the complete opposite of Hangar-8's Team Colourable Librarian. Both textures come in one pack and fix a lot of the colours on the models to the colours seen on any normal Codex Space Marine chapter Librarian or Apothecary.
Coming very soon is a request for Star Wars Storm Trooper style Space Marines. "Read more" to see these Storm Trooper/Hannibal-esque Marines before they are added!
Recent download problems
Recently I've noticed an increase in the number of failed download attempts caused by our anti-leeching system. This could be purely down to the fact that there are now more visitors coming from Relic Forums now that I have posted a thread in the main Dawn of War area, but it was causing a problem whatever the reason.
I've now made a minor change to the system (designed to stop people from stealing our bandwidth, which costs money) and so hopefully people should have less problems in the future. If you still have any problems, please contact me. Sorry if the system has been causing any problems for anyone and stopping them from getting any files at all.
Related Downloads completed
During the recent spate of image additions, I've also updated the Downloads section to give it a specific "Related Downloads" section. This afternoon, I've been working on making sure that all downloads have the relevant other downloads listed as related. This means that it should now be easier to find useful badges and banners to go with the teamcolour or pattern that you're downloading!
Read more for details and examples of the related downloads, and for news on how I made the page structure of the site more semantic and meainingful.
Last images added!
All of the downloads that can have example images should now have them added, so you can see what you're getting before you download them! Some exceptions to these include the Swords of Sanguinius and Mentor Legion colour schemes, since I've found out that the texture that they are supposed to be based on isn't as close to the Alternate Space Marine pattern as I thought.
Now that the content is update, I'll begin work on some back-end upgrades and extra features!
Legion of the Damned added
I have just added Mel_Danes' Legion of the Damned Space Marines and Legion of the Damned Force Commander textures to your site. As with the Legion of the Damned Dreadnought Mel_Danes has done an amazing job of recreating the Legion in all of their glory, and has even made the skin team colourable!
Read more for a small sample of the texture!
