Confederate scheme/texture (WARNING: large image)

[SkyCaptain37]

yeah well about that confederate skin for IG it was Krass that actually made it i think, but they said you had IB, uh heres what it looks like

that is the scheme im talking about...

[IBBoard]

For the good of 56Kers, any chance you can shrink the file size of the image? An image that size should compress to about 120-150KB without any obvious loss of quality.

As for the scheme, I didn't make it and I'd never host it. GW have strict "only GW imagery" guide lines, and while I don't know where they stand on things like Confederate flags, it's a real-world imagery that doesn't really fit with the 40K Universe (which is what Skins@HWT is about).

The only thing I thought I might recognise on there is the tank, which I thought might have been from Soleil_Rouge's Camo tanks and troops, but a quick look at the screenies says it isn't.

Sorry I can't help more.

whats wrong with real-life imageries? were not all humans from earth? hmmm...

[IBBoard]

Yes, but we don't really use Egyptian or even Roman imagery in the same way as it was used then, and that's only ~2,000 years ago, so 38,000 years into the future there's very little chance of a group such as the Confederates still having their cause followed with badges and banners.

I'm curious as to who said I may have made it, though. I've only done a few badges and banners, and all of them (except the Tau pack) were re-makes of various Space Marine chapters.


[edit] I'm still not sure whether you meant texture or scheme (as you said texture but seem to be showing a scheme) but I'll split this out into a topic of its own now.

[SkyCaptain37]

thank you very much... i pmed krass on relic forums no reply as of yet

I would like to thank IBBoard and his original skins(Which i changed beyond recognition)
and his excellent site Hive terra which i would advise anyone to visit,

i actually think its a badge and banner... hmmm... still cant find it

[IBBoard]

If he has changed one of my skins (possibly the Guardsman, as that's about the only Guard texture I've done that's in the screenie) then I'd have appreciated it if he'd read the "do not modify/redistribute without permission" section of the readme and actually contacted me.

The screenshot seems to be focused on the Baneblade, but the most obvious thing I can see on that is the golden eagle on the rear cylnder that looks most obviously like Hangar-8's Golden Eagles work.

I still don't recognise anything else, though, so I may have to contact Krass about it.

If you don't have the download and want to find it, where did you dig the readme snippet from?

[SkyCaptain37]

the quote you mean?

[IBBoard]

Yeah, the quote. I searched "confedorate Space Marine skin" last night and turned up the Mod on DoWFiles. I'll download it soon and see what has been re-used without permission.

Also, the readme says skins, so it's a unit texture of mine that has been re-used rather than a teamcolour/badge/banner set.

[SkyCaptain37]

can i have it if you get it?

[SkyCaptain37]

also id like to make my own banner and badges but the program i download is having issues... pattern switcher... i guess is what it is, i dled microsoft .net framework skd 1.1, still cant get it to run right, it wont go to details on anything, and when i say launch file it goes to the game, wth?

[IBBoard]

The mod is freely available on DoWFiles.com. If the scheme isn't in there then I won't get it, and if it is in there then you can just download it yourself. If you didn't already know, it's the Battleground mod or something similar.

[SkyCaptain37]

yeah i did that... but didnt have it...

[IBBoard]

Then I'm sorry, but I can't help. If you want to get the Confedorate scheme you'll either have to search DoWFiles.com (although they may have removed it for political reasons) or contact Krass and the Mod team directly about it.

[SkyCaptain37]

lol... did that too... no reply, i practically spammed relics with asking for it...

[SkyCaptain37]

if i send you a file could you convert it to a .tga, perhaps? i dont have photoshop...
