Nice models - I think many of the greebles could be textured on, though.

Are you referring to snipa or draco? :P

Not bad. I like how you're playing with the design concepts and are trying to make a slightly different-feeling tank there. The wide treads are interesting, and the body overall is very strong, although the rear of the body, between the tracks, should be angled, imo (flat surfaces are death, on tanks, angled armor blocks shots a lot more efficiently than flat armor does).

On the big-gun version: I'd rework the gun / turret pivot. The rear of the cannon's going to obviously clip into the turret, if it angles up enough. Kind've ruins the illusion. You can get away with a certain amount of that, but in this case, I think it'll be obvious.

On the three-gun version: Too simple, doesn't feel realistic yet. Most real-world vehicles with a Gatling arrangement have thinner barrels, and they're almost always tied together physically, because the centripetal force caused by spinning that much mass can make the barrels bend a little otherwise.

On both: the wheels should be done on the texture, imo. Players will almost never actually see them, and you're wasting a lot of triangles there. Seen from any angle above, the covers over the tracks pretty much hide the wheels. Not worth the bother- most of the time, unless this is huge, players won't even see these in any detail anyhow. Get the triangles back, by rebuilding those tracks as single objects, and voila, you suddenly have tons to spend on smaller greebling, if you want.

Ok, but the big gun one doesnt clip at all enless it fires at a high trejectory ( which it never will!). I agree with the falt back on the small one, i will change that. The small one's guns arent so much gattling ( as in BUZZZZ, 9001 rounds per minute) but a small rotary guass cannon (as in firing just a tad bit faster than the Overmind commader's gun in PURE), i though it was creative and different to make it rotary.

[yuritch]

This one looks more like an arty vehicle to me. Such designs are usually made to allow for high-trajectory firing, else it shouldn't have that 'open-top turret over the gun' design (it reduces protection), and if barrel elevation is limited, most of that opening is not needed.
If it's artillery, then it doesn't need sloped armor either - long-range support units aren't meant to take much fire.

2 Nemo: looks very cool. Maybe we should add some bayonet fighting for the rifle infantry in S'44?

Great hicckety, are those light sabers?!

you need to get rid of the smoke, but asides from that, I'm gonna have to say that that is immense win.

Fear the walking dead!

[smoth]

OMG! are you going to make these PD/CC?

[Otherside]

Chicken + skeleton mode

and maybe even skeletal chickens :O

awesome work

[Gota]

replace lame chickens with army of dead pls.

[azaremoth]

OMG! are you going to make these PD/CC?

Most likely not in the near future.
