Description
After being unable to find 's project file for 3DStudio max, I decided to start from scratch, and even added another building (the long one).Personally, I think this turned out much better (which is odd since i haven't been on 3DStudio for about 2 years XDD)
So, what is it? Good question. For those not familiar with the game, WARHAMMER 40,000, it is a strategy game played using models. So, no, this isn't a computer game, though there are games out there. And this, is a CG recreation of the Anphelion base model used for the enviroments you can build and use as battlefields for the models, in this case, the imperial guard.
So, anyway...
I'm not sure the long building turned out just right, so i may tweak it more.
This has taken me about... oh... 8 hours, give or take, over two days, about 6 hours today, and I had to restart since the round building turned out wrong (stuff I did to the actual shape you can't erase)
But, that was to construct the four building types. The circular hub. the long hub. a corridor section. an entrance section. Of curse to construct the above base took ten minutes, as i simply copy the parts (like the corridor sections) and multiply them to construct this base
So yeah, gonna be making a launch pad too, maybe a communication array and other stuff too, once i get some references online, as well as little things, like barrels, crates, and random junk XD just need to look in to imperial buildings, and junk.
I'm hoping it will look cool, when I am done. I'm not sure if i will add material textures to it yet, that will be a big job!
I was thinking of using the construct for perhaps background reference, like setting the shot up, taking a snap shot, and drawing it, so i can have the perspective down, and make it look more kickass, perhaps even a mini-comic XD
Any way. IF you are a warhammer 40,000 player, and more precisely an imperial player, who knows the buildings, I would greatly appreciate any feedback ^^

Looks pretty neat to me, straight up from a Forgeworld catalogue I'd say. From what I can see, there seems to be a lack of skulls though. You know how the Imperium is about skulls. Their skull-rivet on their skull-helmet have small skulls on them.

Nice work, it look very simmilar to the Anphelion base games day diorama on 2005
But, if you dont mind some advises, as Spacewolf player for many years I would like to say:
The empire buildings are mostly quadrate and tremendous decorated with death, angels and saints images and pictures.

Are somo good examples of Imperial architecture
If you are looking for the appearance of an Imperial Guard base then I recomend the Dawn of guard videogame as reference or the ilustrations of the Dark heresy RPG like these:

I could never get into warhammer, but I'm interested in seeing you doing more 3d stuff.

You know what it's missing?
A skull throne.
You need more skulls for the skull throne.
