Nogovan Light Infantry

[R0adki11 3945]

thanks for the constructive comments, ive finished my university exam resits, so im confindent i will be progressing into the 3rd and final year of my degree, which means i now can resume making my infantry units . I hope to have some new progress pictures soon.

Im going to try to make some better textures, and i may try to use the DMA euro_res troops as a basis, ive not decided as of yet. Though i am thinking of using the recently released weapon pack by mapfact on my infantry, but i would like to know peoples opnions on that, i may just stay with JAM based weapons, to keep the restrictions low.

Thanks all once again

That looks pretty good actually But I'd myself change the helmet model, or at least the camo on it, and add somekind of vest for them.

[R0adki11 3945]

Yea im planing on changing the camo on the hemets and some vests as i get round to it, I will post some more screenshots soon of my other infantry units.

Ah, so this is what you were using the camo schemes for.  The units look pretty good. Nice work.

What gun is that btw?

What gun is that btw?

I thought it was a sterling, but i can't see where the mag is, usually it sticks out the left side, but i can't see it in the pics.

It looks like a good start.

Are you using a few models for variety or is it all going to be one model? A few different hats would be good.

Looking at the pics, one thing stands out (to me anyways)Maybe do something with those hands...they look a little

Maybe it's a nogova islander gene thing,

Ive got several plans to make different soldier models, with caps, boonies, beret and maybe one injured soldier model. I went with a western style helmet as i didnt want my infantry too look like Ironsights EDF troops, im planning to futher change the camo somebloke has supplied me, without his camo packs i wouldnt be where i am now.

I am now looking for a sutable texture for a vest, or should only the best troops have vests ?

The weapon you see is indeed the sterling i thought it would make a good tank crew and crew member weapon.

The helmet they wear at the moment is western stlye too, maybe you should still think about HYK helmet?

[somebloke 0]

Which camo scheme did you use for the units in the pics? I may be able to make a helmet version for you.

And if may make a suggestion for beret colours.

Normal infantry - Dark blue (like the RAF Regiment)

Officer - Black or Dark Green

Medic - Khaki?

Givvus a shout if you want variations on the camo for different units/sections of the force.

I have some ideas for some support Vehicles

Air

IA 58 Pucara (Two Seat, Twin engined light ground attack aircraft)

Mig-21 (for air cover)

Mi-8

UH-1D

AH-1

Land

M151 light Vehicle

M-60A1

BDRM 2

BTR-40

URAL (fuel, repair, transport, and Ammo)

Dont forget mine clearing, bulldozers, and other EQUP.

@RockIslandMarine, thankyou for the suggestions on vehicles and equipment i am thinking on the lines of only nogova having to fund its military. So i am going to concentrate on my infantry first and a few support vehicles, probably will not go with an airforce.

they look good a bit like the EDF but good i like the sterling too

[R0adki11 3945]

i understand what you mean by they look like edf, its just a matter of getting the camo right, then they wont look like edf, i want them unique, the only way i can do is possible to use a russian helmet and russian accessories.

[Blackbuck 9]

yea, a russian helmet and some russian webbing will go a long way

[somebloke 0]

You could use a russian M40 helmet with camo. As for support vehicles, i think a Land rover or 80s equivalent would be realistic for an island like Nogova.

[belgerot 33]

These units would look good with Russian equipment, but nothing too old. If you are going to use Soviet era equipment, why not for a militia/reservist soldier?

[olemissrebel 0]

look at nogova, it has roughly no economy= cheap ass equipment. they'd be lucky to have CCCP issue equipment, if anything.

[MontyVCB 0]

CCCP was the soviet space agency so they would be lucky if they got gear from them :P

[belgerot 33]

Hmm.. Looking at it that way I see your point. I guess whatever is made for these troops will sit well with me.

[CanadianTerror 0]

This whole "discuss what Nogova could/could not afford for a military has been done before....to death.

[FA Dalai Lamar 0]

I vote for the RHS model of Russian Helmet with more Russian Equipment...Could you make a version without the Llama head model too?
