Well for Bothan and wookie I would take the basic ships of the rebels and give it a different color.
Im doing it for a part for the mandalorians.

Have to test ingame what the effect is.

The chiss ar also on my list Ill need some time to make the unit sprites.

Well I've got some Mandalorian ship images that I haven't gotten to trimming yet
Kandosii-type dreadnaught

Kyramud-type battleship


They're from the Sith-Republic wars though...and top views are a bit boring...

Wow very impressive Cap...where do you get these images from? I am looking for more top down images for warhammer...but most are not that impressive...on top of the ones you already collected..

My first post was just images I collected from around these forums...I've actually deleted most of those now because of their poor quality.

I then found various artist including Unusualsuspex and Fractualsponge who show off their 3D models with multi-perspective screens.

Most recently I figured out how to change the camera angle in one of my favorite games, Star Wars: Empire at War, as well as how to turn off shadows in Sins of a Solar Empire. The former has hundreds of mods, and the latter has three notable SW mods, so there are potentially thousands of ship images I can get. I use FRAPS to get clean screenshots and windows paint to orient, quick-crop (as seen above,) and convert to PNG. Finally, I use the manual cropping tool in GIMP to get the ship by itself. It takes about 10-15 min total per large ship since I like keeping a lot of detail, so it's extremely labor intensive.

If anyone has a bunch of free time and feels like cropping a crap ton of ships, let me know.

...but to actually answer your question, WH40K ships are hard to get. I know there are a couple mods out there for space RTS's that you could try. Otherwise I'm sure Mensrea/Japhet would be ok with you using their ships as long as you gave them credit.

Yeah Japhet has done some great work...but Mensrea is MIA still...so I will wait to get his written permission...I have the Tau just about completed...and working on various other parts of my mod...

My favorite games, Star Wars: Empire at War,

For some time im using the alo viewer to have some nice models.
Check it out

Could you link it please? The only working one I found just loaded the model, not the shaders/textures or whatever. Bright green texture-less ships don't look very good lol

How is this mod? Is there anymore work being done to it? Is there a need for more help with getting it off the ground. Really interested in a star wars universe.

[;)]

Very awesome. Im starting to play with it now. Is there a way to make the empires in the game only use the star wars ships? I also want to see if I can add in a Jedi Order faction.

Well, you would have to replace every ship/star base pic in the foulders with an image of an actual star wars ship.

Doing that now. Just changing the design. Maybe slowly turn them into star wars races when I have more time.

Permission to use the races in this mod for my crossover mod?

Can't wait the next improvement for this mod, thanks 2guncohen !
