Skins @ Hive World Terra

Final downloads migrated

All of the downloads on Skins@HWT should now be banner and popup free! The remaining downloads that were still left pointing to DoWFiles.com have now been changed to point to copies of the files hosted here on this site. This means that you should never receive a popup or see banner or Google adverts all over the page when you go to download any file!

Downloads migrated

In an attempt to make downloading from Skins@HWT as enjoyable as possible, the majority of downloads that were formerly linked to DoWFiles.com have now been mirrored on Skins@HWT.

Here at Skins@HWT we believe that you should be able to browse and download without being hassled by popups and having screen space taken up by banners. Because of this, I decided that anything that could move away from DoWFiles.com should be moved. Only a few downloads remain linked to DoWFiles, and these will be migrated across to being hosted on Skins@HWT in the next day.

Five new textures added

Firstly, thanks to King_Tiger for submitting some of Faction's excellent work for us to host. Faction has previously given his permission for us to host his skins (all eight of them!) but he lost the skins in a hard-drive crash before I got copies of them. If anyone else has any of Faction's other work, please check out "Submitting Your Work" for details on how to get the textures listed. We current have the Honour Company, Fourth Edition Warhammer 40,000 and Helmet Replacement Space Marine textures.

Secondly, thanks to LedMirage at the Insomniax Team for submitting a new Land Speeder texture and Scout texture.

Coming later will be the Space Marines and Force Commander from Mel_Danes' Legion of the Damned collection, to go with the Legion of the Damned Dreadnought.

Lots of new screenshots

Screenshots have now been added to a lot of the existing downloads, where there weren't any before. Some downloads are still missing screenshots (I always seem to have missed at least one download each time I think I'm done) but the majority are now complete.

Coming soon - new downloads! Now that the existing downloads are sorted, I'll hopefully be adding another six downloads. This may take until tomorrow, depending on how quickly I can create descriptions!

Now released - Quartered Space Marines

My second complete pattern pack (after the Halved Space Marines) has now been released - the Quartered Space Marines pattern pack. The pack adds new textures for all Space Marine units excluding the Scouts (and the Servitor and Skull Probe who aren't really Marines anyway). Thumbnails and screenshots are available on the download page.

Coming soon from IBBoard - Quartered Marines

To continue the trend with the Halved Space Marines, I will be releasing some Quartered Space Marine textures shortly. Work is almost complete, with the exception of some small but awkward changes to the Apothecary and Librarian. Current screenshots and place for comments (for registered members) is the Quartered Space Marines Texture thread on the forums.

More contributions from Sandwichwarrior!

We must once again say thanks to Sandwichwarrior for his continued contribution of excellent skins.

The first skin added tonight was the Camoflage pattern Space Marines v2 skin. This skin re-visits Sandwichwarrior's original Camoflage pattern Space Marines and adds to them with the techniques he's learnt since.

Also added have been two updated versions of the Eldar Aspect Warriors. The Fixed Colour Aspect Warriors skin will show all Aspect Warriors in their true Shrine colours for all armies in both single and multi-player mode. For those who want Shrine colours in single-player mode but visible differences in multi-player mode, there is also a normal Aspect Warriors skin pack that adds team coloured areas to the patterns in multiplayer games.

Once again I must say thank you to Sandwichwarrior for his great contributions, and I remind you all that you can contribute your own work as well.

File upload fixed and progress update

Sorry to anyone who has been trying to uploads files recently. Since the server move, the "Add a file" section of the Downloads had not been working. I've now fixed the issue, and you can now add your own contributions (as long as they are less than 2MB) to our database. All other downloads should be submitted using one of the methods described in "Submitting Your Work".

In other news, a bit more progress has been made with my quartered Space Marines, and more behind-the-scenes code has been written to improve the site. I will be finishing my University placement as a programmer in a little over a week, so I should have more time to devote to the site soon!

Recent releases

In the past two days we have had an influx of great new Eldar textures from old and new contributors.

Sandwichwarrior has released a Tiger Wraithlord to go with his Tiger Grav Tank. There are also some new releases of his Aspect Warrior patterns that will be released soon.

Farseer Cohinor has also submitted a collection of textures, making the Eldar Rangers into the camoflaged scouts that they should be - complete with a variety of 5 colour variations.

Thanks to everyone who contributes, and please submit your patterns, team colour files, badges and banners! Want to know if we'll host it? Check out our "Submitting Your Work" Article

Corrupted downloads fixed

Apologies to anyone who has recently encountered problems with the pattern files hosted on Skins@HWT. There was an issue with the download process corrupting files by cutting them off before they had finished. The problem has now been fixed, and everything should be OK if you download again.
