screenshots?

[mad_caddie]

now it's my impression that none have been released as of yet, but these things have slipped past me before. so this is just double-checking i guess. so, apart from the mobs seen being killed by lvl 1 bright wizard at whatever games day it was, have we seen any shots of playable marauders? or will we just have to wait until the newsletter?

[Ralzar]

Gotta wait for the newsletter. I'm 99% certain there has not been a single SS released of a pc marauder. You'll probably have to wait until the July newsletter though. The June newsletter is for the Knight of the Blazing Sun, so the Marauder is probably in the newsletter after that.

******* newsletters! first they reduce it to one career a month, then they suddenly decide to give empire two careers in a row!!

at least i'm not mad about dark elves, damn that fanbase has to feel pretty **** right now.

Yeah...... :(

[Fusko]

Yeah, we have hardly any info on the marauder other than that he'll mutate, and he's got really cool helmets.

[Taurth]

I know that if the Marauder newsletter impresses me then I'll most likely wave bye bye to the Chosen.

At the moment, I'm feeling a little "Meh" with everything we know about the Chosen, and the armor detail is probably the worst out of all the classes we've seen thus far. The concept art looks amazing, but all the in-game shots just look stupid, in my opinion. Although I am/was really looking forward to roleplaying one, which I feel may be a bit harder as a Marauder.

Marauders seem so cool and we all have to wait till August to see them in Bonker Crab-Clawed Action! :(

Yea umm..they won't look like that come release. Just look at one of the recent Dwarf screens.

[Taurth]

Yeah umm... Compare the one of the first Dwarf Screenshots (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/screenshots/full0003.jpg) with the high res Chosen Screenshot (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/screenshots/ss_june8_08.jpg) (It is high res, look at the magus).

Also, theres the fact that the tier 4 armor just looks stupid, in my opinion. It hardly looks like the concept art, which is graceful and slightly fitted looking, it makes the Chosen look likes he's been made out of Lego.

I dunno, the Chosen just really hasn't lived up to my high expectations from when I saw the concept art. I hope they can make it look better, but if not then it'll be a Marauder for me, or possibly a Choppa or Goblin Shaman.

I said new Dwarf (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/screenshots/SOG_01.jpg), not old Dwarf. Why would they make the Dwarf/Greenskins look great, but leave the Chaos/Empire looking like crap?

The Magus doesn't look any better than the Chosen does. The lines are not any crisper than on the Chosen's armor. Look at his disc, look at the portal, look at the broken chaos star hanging from the spike. Look how clear the lines are and how crisp and detailed they all are. For all we know, these screens could be from months ago, Paul had a video blog of a Witch Hunter in-game in Feburary.

About the concept art, the only thing they didn't bring over is the dark blue coloration. Pretty much every little detail of the armor was transferred into the game. The newest Chosen Render/Screen (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/screenshots/ss_june8_06.jpg) of him in T3 is imo, a worthy representation of what they will look like at release, which is still ~8 months away.

I want to see how well the claw is done in-game.

I linked an OLD Dwarf screenshot, because even though its from last year, its still TONS better than the Chosen.

The bolded part was exactly my point, apart from that I disagree that the Magus looks as detailed as the Chosen, because in my opinion it clearly looks a lot better. Look at the detail of everything else compared to the Chosen, its a lot better. And the detail of EVERY other career has tons better detail than the Chosen. Perhaps they will make it better, but its probably the case that the detail looks nowhere near as good as the other classes because of the fact that the model is a lot bigger and so the texture has to be stretched, which makes me not want to play the Chosen if thats the case and it doesn't end up getting fixed.

The reason I'm skeptical about the whole "They'll make it look better" thing is because they haven't done that with the other races. The old Dwarf screenshot has the same amount of detail in its armor as the new one does that you linked, apart from the fact that the newer picture has a better shadow effect.

And the armor may be an exact representation of the concept art, but with the tier 4, they don't pull it off. They have all the detailed parts like the claws and everything from the concept art, but the whole shape of the in-game model looks completely different. Its a lot bigger and blockier looking, where as the concept art looks a little thinner and more elegant.

[Temujin]

that crab things is not the best idea.

[Gnashfang]

that crab things is not the best idea.

Yeah you always run around saying that. Please, tell us why..
And personally I love the crab claws.. It's chaotic... If a sword comes out, not too chaotic, but who expects part of a crab?! It's almost as unexpected as the Spanish Inquisition.

[Necrophyt]

*trumpets*

NO BODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

I was just looking over some old screenshots, when I found the hellcannon picture (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/screenshots/SS0306_04.jpg).

Now if you take a look at those Marauders, you'll realize that they're wearing the tier one armor shown in this (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/conceptArt/013007CArt_05.jpg) concept art picture.

It does look very plain, so hopefully they'll look a little better when we see them in this newsletter, and likely some mutations will make a difference.

Personally I'm hoping we get little spikes from our flesh on our shoulder and wherever from where our corrupt mutation has begun spreading to the rest of our body. I think touches like that will really liven up the model.

[Hatemonger]

Wow, I know it's a far away shot, but that is certainly disappointing.

[Taurth]

Yeah, well it is a bit.

Also, don't expect to see lots of the little bits on the in-game model that you can see in the concept art (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/conceptArt/013007CArt_06.jpg), such as all the little skulls, chains and the raven heads in his beard. If you compare the Witch Hunter concept art (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/conceptArt/0507_CA_05.jpg) to the in-game model (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/images/screenshots/SS0507_03.jpg), you'll notice lots of the little details like extra knifes and the parchment on his shoulder aren't there.

Although, it could be that these things are part of the player customization and trohphies. We'll have to see, although I'd have preferred stuff like that to be basic parts of the model so that trophy slots could be used for more specific things, assuming these things mentioned above are trophies.

[Destcaz]

those screen shots to me just look like Chaos npcs who happen to have one shoulder plate and no armor. I don't think they're marauders.

[Taurth]

Notice how in the concept art and screenshot they both have circular belt buckle things with the Chaos star on it, furry bracer's and relatively fitted trousers and boots.

I'm certain thats the same armor as the tier one concept art, whether or not its changed slightly since then, since this picture is pretty old, we'll have to wait and see.

[Destcaz]

Yeah, I didn't notice those circular belt plates. I don't know, I'm still hoping that they're NPCs, but who knows. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Personally, I loved the look of the marauder behind the hellcannon.

Not too overcomplex, simple, and barbaric.

[Fear Death]

meh I think marauder armor looks alot cooler then chosen armor myself.. marauder overall looks like the coolest chaos class, cant wait for the newsletter.
