Protoss Factions Units
This is a project that I have created will feature some custom models and portraits for each Protoss factions that appeared in the SC2 trilogy series: the Khalai/Daelaam Protoss, the Nerazim/Dark Templar Protoss, the Zhakul Guardians Protoss, the Purifiers Protoss and the Tal'darim Protoss.
@Hammer107: Go
Oh wow that scout looks both awesome and terrifying!
Tal'darim Scout
Despite being an old protoss aircraft, the Tal'darim maintained some Scouts as part of their arsenal and they fitted them with some enhancements such as afterburners and reinforced hull platings within the Scout to make them more faster, durable, and aggressive in the field of battle.
@Miles07: Go
Holo-Zerg? Yeah that sounds cool!
Tal'darim Nightshade
The Nightshades are enhanced and powerful versions of the Tal'darim Slayers, a variant of the Nerazim Stalker. They possess more powerful particle disruptors and enhanced phasing armor that will last in 8 seconds. They are often served as bodyguards for the Highlord to provide anti-air support against any enemy air units and rarely, they have the ability to blink two times around the battlefield.
@R0binicus: Go
I also believe that holo-Zerg would be a good addition. I've seen one or two holo-Zerg (like 'lings) uploaded on mapster, perhaps more of the core breeds would be nice to have as holograms (Hydras, Ultras, Mutas, Drones, Crawlers).
Also Protoss faction variation of the Protoss snake, and snake head.
Suggestion!
Zerg factions/broods units.
brood/factions suggestions:
Abathur's brood: Hyper evolved, zergling evolutions combined into one unit and the same with all other units.
Hybrid brood: Hybrid versions of all units
Cyborg: Zerg units with cyber implants
Primal brood: Changed colours, possibly some added segments.
Some possible unused Zerg things you could use for factions:
Unused models:
PrimalproductionB: looks like a super evolution pit
PrimalproductionC: looks like a super Cerebrate.
Primalisk: cool ultralisk with tentacles coming out of the back and clawed feet.
Various options for primal ultralisk, one with hammer tail, one with spike head.
Tentaclemonster: looks like an unused flying unit
Zergartilery: unused Zerg ground unit
Nydusworm: unused nydus worm.
Unused units:
Creep tower
Oh I love that doomcrawler! It looks so evil!
Tal'darim Doomcrawler
The Doomcrawlers are formerly Khalai Reavers pilfered and modified by the Tal'darim. They are armed with the same scarab launchers as the Khalai Reavers but it has a raw solarite material within the scarab in order to increase the maximum damage inflicted the Doomcrawler's scarabs and most of the Doomcrawlers have their speed being modifed to make them to faster to move and position themselves quickly in the field.
Tal'darim Replicant
The Tal'darim's deployment of Replicants in the battlefield are quite rare. It is implied that the Tal'darim used these Replicants for frontline assaults or infiltration purposes by mimicking another race's unit.
Tal'darim Repair Drone
The Tal'darim uses Repair Drones to repair their Skylords in the battlefield as well as their other mechanical arsenal units. It has the same specs as the Khalai Repair Drones for their Carriers and suggesting that the Tal'darim borrowed these mechanical Repair Drones from their Khalai brethren after Alarak's ascension as the new Highlord of the Tal'darim and the Tal'darim's alliance with the Daelaam Protoss.
Awesome models Hammer !
Will you be making zeratul and tassadar also?
Another suggestion, a purifier, I am talking about the mothership purifier, it is in the safe haven mission, it is like a super mothership, it would be an awesome model, you could put some of the SC1 carriers in those 3 hole/docking bays. I am looking forward to your opinion and anyone else's of combining of all the factions into one model/merc Protoss.
Also I am loving those new tal'Darim models!
Tal'darim Helbrute
The Helbrutes are pilfered and modified versions of the ancient Purifiier Protoss robots created by the Khalai Caste phase-smiths of the Aiur Protoss under orders from the Conclave. The Tal'darim added a little variation on the Purifier prototype versions of the Sentinels to make them more terrifying and more vicious when they enter in combat and some of the phase-smiths captured and brainwashed by the Tal'darim reprogrammed the Helbrute's AI to make them loyal and serve the Highlord and accompany some Ascendants in the field of battle. They are armed with double-blade bane blades on each arm and they can perform a vicious and deadly charge upon their foe.
I really like your faction variants. I'm currently trying to do a custom Tal'darim campaign, so i already used some. Could you do something like a mothership core in Tal'darim colors without those side "wings" or what those glowing things are, or just some sort of model that would fit the unit described lower. I'm planning to do a small cloaked support vessel replacing the observer for Tal'darim faction, that will be like mobile point defense drone, but sadly i don't have fitting model and i really don't want to use Tal'darim observer model. If you could make something like this, it'd be awesome. Anyway continue doing these amazing models.
Tal'darim MagnaGuard
The MagnaGuard is a special type of infantry deployed by the Tal'darim Protoss. They were chosen as bodyguards for the Highlord of the Tal'darim or sometimes, they were often seen accompanying some Ascendants during the heat of battle, serving them as frontline elite warriors against stronger enemies. The MagnaGuards are armed with Bloodshard lances and they possess the ability to do a deadly, brutal charge against an enemy unit.
Those last models were amazing!
Tal'darim Obliterator
The Obliterator is a Tal'darim quadrupedal assault walker variant of the Khalai Dragoon. It is examined that the design of the Tal'darim Obliterator is an exact duplicate of the Khalai Dragoon design but with little variation beyond construction materials. Much like as its later upgraded version the Vanguard, the Obliterators are piloted by Tal'darim warriors that fell in battle. Disgraced in defeat, they are placed in an Obliterator exoskeleton shell for one chance to make up for their failure. Before and during the End War, many Obliterators are later transformed and upgraded into the Vanguard assault walkers in order to supplement additional fire support for the Tal'darim's warriors.
Tal'darim Legionnaire
The Legionnaire's are former Votaries of the Tal'darim Protoss from Slayn. They are more deadlier and skillful than their Khalai brethen's Zealots and most of them are preferred by some Ascendants to make them as their frontline warriors and they are highly loyal to their Highlord. They have the abilities to do a deadly charge onto an enemy unit and they can unleash their rage which causes them to go berserk and increase their attack strength.
Nerazim Corsair
LoTV version of the Corsair with Nerazim paint scheme and green lights.
