Wel, here is my newest model, a spider-like robot with nice lightning spheres on its hands and head, it needs another name though, since I want this robot to have a mythological name. No custom textures were used on this model.

You planning on finishing this one? I like the model, but dislike the lack of a distinguishing face. (An orb doesn't really count) Also, it's a bit thin so I'm not sure how visible he'll be in-game unless sized up. Anyways, though, it looks pretty darn cool and I appreciate the ample use of team color.

Speaking of which, I'm going to go ahead and plug that old Elven Swashbuckler you never finished. That was good stuff. :)

Should be thicker. Very cool, though.

"Mythological Names"? That'll be hard, considering how "robot" it feels... Tinker tank texture, electro-tesla orbs...

"Tesla Scion"?
"Storm Spider"?
"Malnourished Arachnid of Electromagnetic Impulses"?

How about calling it Agamenon (very steadfast), Alcippe (might mare or just mighty), Argus (Shining), Charon (fierce brightness), or Diomedes (thought of Zeus). Just some name from Greek Mythology and like the model, some how I am getting a H.P. Lovecraft vibe from it. Looks Nyarlathotep from the Mythos book.

Sparky McZapper.

:P

On a more serious note, Mjolnir perhaps? (name of Thor's hammer)
Anyways, looking pretty damn cool, as always.

i don't like his pyramid trunk thing part at all, the rest is very cool. i disagree about giving him a distinguishing face, giving a robot a face is just pointless unless it's like an android or something.. r2d2 doesn't have a 'distinguishing face'

Looks a bit strange. It kinda reminds me of the Dwemer stuff from Morrowind.
Did you make it for any particular reason/project?

OT:

I have a Wulf grave guardian (or something similar). I bought it just to paint for fun, he looks damn epic. The have cool models, but the painters that paint for them suck, its nothing compared to the 'Eavy Metal team from Warhammer.

Nice, i like the red version better, abit too skinny but I think it looks fine. Looks very familiar.

Gorman I was thinking of getting in to that game because the miniatures are cheaper than some of the ones from Games Workshop. I probably buy Golborak because he just looks awesome or maybe Master Sulfur, the eater of brats. Now he is a detailed miniature with his "pet" which he uses to augment to fight enemies.

Kinda, we are trying to recycle ideas and stuff we had for a very large project that we killed before it got bigger than incredibly small, right now we just want a simple map that serves as an excuse to see robots killing each other.

I agree, but it was done that way for the sake of polys. And no, it is designed to lack a distinguising face, and it will be somewhat big which will allow him to be visible ingame.
