Hellfire Legion Shipline

[Durandal]

Come .86 the Hellfire Legion are getting their own shipline. So uh, fire away with suggestions/constructive criticism.

All I have is a gunboat so far, so here it goes.



It's not much, but it's a start. I was trying for a vaguely Libertonian look, considering the [HF] are ex LN, but also with some Lane Hacker influences due to their time spent with the LH, and an overall hi-tech "solid" look to it.

I'm not sure what to call it yet, or any of the ships. I planned on keeping with the sword line but I can't find many more European swords, and other regions aren't varied enough in their bladed weaponry unless I did some weird like African or South American weapons.

It's a very nice base, Dur. Though the back four vertical octagons should be widened a bit, for turret mounts.

you could call it "bastard", after the hand and a half sword
i mean its a gunboat but it looks very agile although people
might get the wrong idea.

That looks pretty cool. Although I reckon it looks more like a capship.

Even though you can't really have wide capships...

ANYWAY! You're on the right track, methinks.

Those aren't gunmounts, they're just for show >_> I'll draw up a diagram of where the actual guns go later.

It's supposed to be somewhere along the lines of the Lib/Rogue gunboat but wider in terms of size, hoping to get six forward guns and medium core on it but in the end it's up to the devteam.

Says who?

Looks good to me, Durandal.

It's very nice. It could be also a bomber with a bit of resizing. Since HF are a former liberty force that now perform undercovered operations, the texture should be dark/black.

On disco 4.82 almost every HF was flying a Raven's Claw. It would be nice to have and Heavy Fighter that reminds the Raven's Claw in some way.

I'm not sure what to call it yet, or any of the ships. I planned on keeping with the sword line but I can't find many more European swords, and other regions aren't varied enough in their bladed weaponry unless I did some weird like African or South American weapons.

Some european swords name that, as far as I know (in some cases I might be wrong), are not yet used are:

Claymore, Anelace, Katzbalger, Briquet, Cutlass, Grossmesser, Hanger, Mortuary sword, Bilbo, Schiavona, Cinquedea, Colichemarde, Curtana, Dirk, Rapier, Flamberge, Foil, Falx, Hunting sword, Karabela, Kilij, Kriegsmesser, Bastard sword, Mameluke, Schiavona, Schweizersabel, Seax, Shashka, Shortsword, Szabla, Waster, Yatagan

@BOB - Storta, anyone?

@Lorry - Curtana was -a- sword, not a -type- of sword.

And now on to the real thing:

"We've got a bunch of Hellfire Bastards coming!"

"What ship?"

"Bastard!"

"Don't be like that, I'm just asking about their ship!"


Lame jokes aside, the updated model doesn't look bad. I'm not sure I can see where the turret hardpoints could go, though.
