Chaos texture and Sisters icons
Seaglen has released another texture, this time a Chaos Space Marine Predator with an Iron Warriors theme. The texture comes after a request and some intial attempts on the forums.
Also released is a new icon set for Soulstorm by mdcertainty. Following on from the hero icons, Chaos, Necron and Space Marine icons he has now released a set of Sisters of Battle icons that replace the standard UI icons in-game.
Thanks to both for their continued contributions.
There are also still now a number of pending downloads, mainly due to authors not reading the submission instructions. If you are one of these authors then please read the instructions and get in contact with me so that your download can be corrected and approved.
Even more Sisters of Battle from Seaglen
Seaglen has now moved on to the Celestian texture and made a Celstian with detailed weapon. As with his previous Sisters textures, this texture also replaces the tacky yellow 'gold' with a more burnished gold colour.
Update to UberPainter for Soulstorm
An update to the UberPainter for Soulstorm has now been released. Two people on the RelicNews forums reported two different issues that have now been fixed. The missing Warp Beast and Veteran Superiors are now included in the Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle lists and the .bat file should now try to run the Soulstorm.exe program rather than DarkCrusade.exe.
Three new textures
Over the course of tonight three new textures from three authors have been added.
Firstly, stfas has given us our first Dark Eldar texture with some fixes and improvements on the Haemonculus and his laboratory.
Next, Seaglen has submitted yet another texture. This time he has taken up a request from our forums and made an Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marine texture.
Finally, I've taken one of the simpler textures off the request list in the forum by making some Space Marine Scouts without cloth rolls.
More Sisters of Battle from Seaglen
Seaglen has been working hard again and has released yet more new textures! This time there is an update for the Sisters of Battle 'weapon colouration' texture and an improved Canoness.
Thanks to Seaglen for contributing all of these new textures so soon after the game has been released.
UberPainter for Soulstorm is released!
A new Dawn of War expansion pack means a new version of the UberPainter, and Soulstorm is no exception.
The UberPainter mod for Soulstorm adds previews of all of the units and buildings (where possible) to the Army Painter. The mod is useful for gamers to see what their scheme looks like across the army, but is even more useful for texturers who want to check out their work in detail without having to play through a skirmish.
Go, download it and enjoy all of the models from the comfort of the Army Painter!
First Soulstorm textures - Sisters of Battle
The Soulstorm expansion pack has only been released for about a day, but already people are submitting content. Seaglen has the honour of being the first submitter to get his Soulstorm content hosted for the world.
The first Soulstorm textures are in the Sisters of Battle section and they re-skin the Exorcist, Servitor and standard Battle Sister.
We also have a file and an update pending from Radulykan, but we need him to get in contact with us.
I've managed to get the Dark Eldar in to the army painter in the Soulstorm demo, so expect a new version of the UberPainter soon - just as soon as my copy gets delivered!
Elemental Space Marines army schemes
Newly released today are the Elemental Space Marines. The pack contains three schemes (badge, banner and .teamcolour) for the Fire, Lightning and Galaxian chapters.
There is also still a Devil Dogs army scheme pending from Spartan112. The file is missing some details and we are still waiting for the author to get back to us. If the author does not get back to us then we will eventually have to decline the download.
Make sure you have permission
Following a recent submission that we had to decline I thought it best to remind people about our submission guidelines
One of the things we mention (under two sections) is other people's work. Under 'content types' we say For legal reasons, we cannot take anything that breaches any copyrights

Any work that a person creates is automatically covered by copyright. If you modify that work in any way then you are breaking copyright laws. Even if the author isn't in the community any more and hasn't been seen online in the past year or more then their work is still covered by copyright.

Ira Aduro's Avatar gets screenshots
It is only a brief snippet of news, but Ira Aduro's amazing Avatar retexture now has screenshots so you can see some of the detail before you download the texture.
Thanks to Ira Aduro for submitting some screenshots.
