Tyranid Mod - New Trygon Move Animation

[robspartan117]

thats terrible movement animation, ever seen a bug or lizard move like that? NO

[olly123451]

Anyone who says that GW copied off Starcraft is wrong, The guy who pretty much INVENTED WH40K and the Tyranids went to work at Blizzard.

[AlpineDark]

@ SergeantMFudgey, so your saying that genetically engineered super humans resemble humans, buglike aliens resemble buglike aliens, and a ancient race that got too high on itself and was devoured by a chaos god and almost completely wiped out resembles a highly advanced race that has been allowed to prosper over the years?

[CrudeGamer001]

STARCRAFT SUCKS DOWS DICK

[quassar89]

If i wanna use these race in game with other ppl they need also runed these mode ??

[gaming0wiz]

i don't care who the fudge made it... i love the starcraft series and 40k... both great games! and neither of them are a rip off of the other...

[Riddickmofo]

@gaming0wiz

starcraft did rip off warhammer 40 k :P. in 1990ts GW wanted to make a 40 k rts and had blizzard making it. The project was shut down but blizzard took it up again and changed it into starcraft.

I also love starcraft and warhammer btw, so im not saying its a bad rip off:P

[gaming0wiz]

@Riddickmofo yeah, i know now, i just started playing the 40k board game... so fun! painting the guys and all.. expensive but... anyway the guys at the shop tried to eat me after i said that they're both great games and aren't rip offs of each other... they showed me so many sites saying other wise ^_^

[Riddickmofo]

@gaming0wiz

lol. Then sorry for being another voice in your ear saying the same thing over again :P.

Yeah they are expensive... unbelievably expensive..... I have a very old space marine army (painted from when I was about 8 so they are mostly just dipped in to the black paint) but now I am gonna use my next paycheck to get some imperial guardsmen, FOR THE EMPEROR!

[lolzgunner101]

to all the people saying star craft is a major rip off of Warhammer come on. Both Warhammer and Starcraft borrowed liberally from other things like starship troopers (which had arachnids (zerg/tyranid) and humans (IG/ terrans)). Yah and I also think terrans are more like IG that Space Marines because they are defesnive and have a lot of tanks and fortified structures.

[captaingallas]

@lolzgunner101

How could both Warhammer and Starcraft borrow things from Starship Troopers when both games where created before the movie?

[qulqunick]

@captaingallas because the book came out in the 50's. Also the Mobile Infantry of the book were even more bad-ass then 40k marines. 3 nukes to a Sargent. Your power fist can suck it.

[TheHavok644]

@captaingallas

Actually Starship Troopers was originally a book from a while ago, like eighties, maybe sixties or seventies.

[Kirschthollar]

@captaingallas Because the movie Starship Troopers is based off the book of the same title from 1959.

[Techmarine20]

@lolzgunner101 Warhammer 40k dropped in 1987 and tyranids came about in about 1994. Starcraft dropped in 1998. Starship troopers dropped in 1997, while it may be possible that some concepts of starcraft are based from the film, it is highly unlikely because the main concept of the game would have been drawn up about 1996 and coded by about 1997.

[haloitepwn]

@lolzgunner101 Dude do your research first before u make a comment like that =)

[qulqunick]

@lolzgunner101 Glad to see someone actually read that book. Most people only know about the terrible movie.

[tallguy781]

@SergeantMFudgey I do completely agree that Starcraft units are rip offs. Although, Starcraft doesn't go nearly as indepth to explain each of them: they just exist and have a weak backstory to each faction.

Also, Hydralisk = Ravener lol.

[Ichigo9913]

that looks nice.

[superfungamer]

wtf

[REAPER3382]

man the trygon is the tyranid equivalent of a space marine warhound? isnt it? sfucking huge

[MrCattivik123]

ma é dawn of war 1 ho 2????

[avragehuman]

@MrCattivik123 1

[crombabi]

the original movement animation from the tyranid mod looks waaaaaaaaaaay better

[loveone789]

sexy

[Keurosaur]

O.o

[behemoth12341]

what dawn of war is this??

[EliphasInheritor]

wtf ppl?who give a shit whos was the idea,just stfu,sit down,leave your keyboard alone and enjoy the video

[blackburger123]

everything looks like a trygon except from head

[BeliveingImpossible]

It's a trygaunt lol.

[iownlol102]

it looks pretty good but still need work becouse its struttering abit

[Onyxtitan123]

I think this is how it pans out:

Marvel comics invented the brood, alien kind of copied the idea with alterations, GW based the nids on alien, Blizzard and GW try to make a game together but blah-di-blah it ends up with starcraft.

thats how i understand it.

[ordoxeno1]

pretty much

[ShadowCalibre]

No, you are misinformed.

[Herpkid56]

yep lol, im surprised SC didnt get sued by GW

[GregorytheImpaler]

This is a cool mod. Seen it, and all that jazz. As for the comments, let's face the facts. 40k and Fantast came out AGES before Blizzard was created. Both are good in their own respects, but Blizzard has blatant copies of plenty of GW stuff. Just because us GW supporters are saying Blizzard copied doesn't mean we're saying it's bad, just that they copied GW. :\

[YamazakiSuperDM]

I think SC WAS supposed to be a 40k game in the beginning.

[ShadowCalibre]

No, you are misinformed.

[ArminMeiwes23]

You are right Yamakazi. At the beggining i was a little bit pissed off because blizzard fans got SC ages ago while the 40k fans didn't had a good 40k game since "chaos gate", but it gets old and nothing better appears until dow appears (sorry, i don't like fire warrior). But now... oh man, SC2 looks like crap to me XD, i think dow got much better phisics and graphics and i love the gameplay, let's see how they finish SC2.

Sorry if my english level make me look as as a cave man.

[Gabezen101]

@YamazakiSuperDM It was but then Games Workshop dropped the idea but blizzard kept workign on it which they werent suppose to and they got sued

[ShadowCalibre]

Yes, you are correctly informed. Both are great games, but Blizzard storyboarders have wandering eyes...

[KhannKlan]

I just read the first page of this stuff. We should all know that Starcraft came way before Dawn of War. Honestly..

[splashie777]

incorrect dow was a table tob game issued in the 1930's originally and was meant to be between orks and humans - with humans being the western super power (brits- usa-france) and orks being germans-japs-italians)

aliens and monsters were added later plus its a very popular genre

[igncom1]

tbh why should it matter both the zerg and the tyranids are good ideas for races so i dount get what the rabble is about?

[emmthreejonny]

I read Starcraft was supposed to be a W40k game but Games Workshop pulled out of the project.

[Redrik666]

yes starcraft was originally a W40K game and warcraft was originally a WH game but games workshop didnt like how blizzard was altering the storyline to fit the game

[ShadowCalibre]

No, you are misinformed.

[DarthVezok]

but Warhammer 40k, the tabletop game that Dawn of War is the pc version of, came WAY before starcraft

[EliphasInheritor]

tyranids were in the warhammer40k lore and in the tabletop game befor even blizzard was made,sooo the zerg are the true copy

[nutyyyy]

Yep but then again most things are copies in one way or an other just as you can say nidz were a copy of alien

[Herpkid56]

lol Games Workshop couldve sued SC out of existence, dont no why they didnt, DOW is THAT old

[Medina6476]

que no puede andar XD

[hazzaza1]

starcraft? lol i always preferred warcraft3 to strcraft but you know what i like more!!!? DoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StraightEdgeXVegan]

Starcraft is fckn SHIT!!

[Joehtosis]

Why's everyone trying to compare starcraft to DoW?

They're different games that have nothing to do with each other, other than the genre.

I'll take my chainsaw swords and Orkz over dem Protoss or Zergs any day.

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

actually they have a lot to do with each other

gamesworkshop asked them to make starcraft but when blizzard got back to see how development was going they didnt like how different it was to 40k so they told them to bin it

unfortunatly that wasnt part of the contract so they changed all the names and continued making it

so you shouldnt presume something you know nothing about :P

though id let you know lol

[Joehtosis]

Alright, given that Blizzard ripped off the Dawn of War units and races, the gameplay in itself and development of the two remained after that remained relatively separate. Or would you like to prove me wrong again?

My point still remains: they're different games, one does not equal the other.

Acting like a tit on the interwebs doesn't make ya look cool btw.

Thought I'd let you know. Lol.

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

hey im talking about what they are both based off of

nothing to do with gameplay

how they hell am i acting like a tit i was merely trying to tell you that they do have something to do with one another

its called information, not me trying to make you look stupid you ass, btw

thought id let you know. Lol.

[Joehtosis]

Lol, alright, welp, I am informed. :]

It came off as a bit smart ass though, sorry for taking it the wrong way.

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

sorry if i was being a bit agro over something stupid:P

[SergeantMFudgey]

The genre... That and:

Terran marine= Space Marine

Zergling=Hormagaunt

Protoss storyline=Eldar storyline

And that Starcraft was created by request of GW.

[imacanoli897]

I totally agree and LOVE pointing this out to people. I honestly think IMO that the Protoss are a bastardized mix of Tau and Eldar. Thats just me though.

[SergeantMFudgey]

EXACTLY! I was telling my friend that a day or two ago, he was arguing on behalf of Blizzard (the poor, blind soul) and had to start pointing out the most minute details in order to separate the Carnifex from the Ultralisk.

[Henners1991]

@SergeantMFudgey There's a rumour floating around that I'm not sure I believe:

Starcraft 2 took so long to develop because Blizzard was privately sued by Games Workshop and was forced to pay royalties. They weren't able to shake off their financial burden until WoW raked it in for them and they were then able to create the game.

Again, sounds fishy to me.

[qulqunick]

@SergeantMFudgey Space Marines = Mobile Infantry

Hormagaunt = bugs

Eldar story line != Protoss in almost any way except they wound up with a dark counter part.

[DemonChorro]

@SergeantMFudgey Your fucking stupid as crap. GW asked blizzard to make a fantasy, they ditched them 50% way through made warcraft nd then did starcraft nd ripped them off

[Guthixruler]

it should be waaay faster and with smoother movement. It goes leg-leg-leg-hobble-

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

then you probably have a bad pc:P

[paradamed]

The guys who managed to make it work for soulstorm are very talented.

[Whichhunter666]

appartently games workshop are making plastic trygons

[rocozilla]

0:15 SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

[BoyStudios]

It walks weird.

[Chaoslordx13]

seems like hes to fast, and it doesnt look, strong, but its better than the old one!

[Mybestfriendsastrat]

dude lots of effort I can tell. But like most movies the. Original is a classic.

[Nudayda]

both starcraft and warhammer zerg and tyranid are in some degree inspired from the 1980's alien

[Dinobot2468]

not all tyranids came out in 1978

[ThatHalloweenKid]

Some of them came out of my ass.

[Dinobot2468]

i meant 1st edidion of space hulk 1978 1st tyranids came out

[Choggisback]

dude you must have a sore ass:p

[ThatHalloweenKid]

Wanna sniff it baby?

[Choggisback]

maybe another time lol:p

[totrice]

@ThatHalloweenKid o_O

[Symbioteposion]

starcraft was actualy orrignaly loosely based around warhammer 40'000 but games workshop said "nah" terran are based off space marines and zerg based frm nids, but nids were loosely based of aliens.

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

starcraft was originally going to be a warhammer 40k game but when games workshop got around to looking at the game development they said that no dont do this because it is way off so they just changed all of the names and continued to make it

[codytk]

taren or the humans are like imperial gaurd, hightech guys from starcraft = tau and zerg = Tyranids

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

its more like terran are space marines, protos are eldar and zerg are nids, protos wouldn't be tau because tau dont have any warp power, and the protos warp things in like the eldar

[xXGuiltySmileXx]

thank you imafire

[codytk]

well ive played Starcraft for the better part of 5 minutes :( plus i thought protoss were advanced firepower like Tau battle suits firewarriors and hammerhead gunships.

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

nope they are completely based on eldar

you should play starcraft some more, i think its one of the best games ever

:)

[xXGuiltySmileXx]

HA HAHA HAHAHAHA YOU GOT IT SO BACKWARDS!! Starcraft ripped of dawn of war man and th only army u got right was the nids..

TERREN are copies of space marines...

protoss are copies of eldar

and yes zerg ripped off the nids..

but seriously if your gonna compare.. get it right -.-

[imAfireANDiBURNburn]

haha your welcome

[nutyyyy]

exactly most things are somewhat copied or similar and i also thing nids look alot like alien

[greencow12]

sick vid man make more. pooness

[oblivion2c2]

trygon without a dbout

[NurglingsArise]

Trygons burrow underground and move much fast than that, but good start

[EtienneLF]

Trygon of the Tyranids (Warhammer) VS a Corpser of the Locusts (Gears of War).

Reply to say/vote who you think would win in a fight...

[loveone789]

trygon

[EWhite0603]

Trygon. No contest.

[Volgunn]

trygon

[jfhgksjdhfk]

corpser for sure corpser

[powerofdestiny]

trygon, they way stronger then corpser of the locusts.

[eminempkr]

game?

[kebabuk]

cool dude

[Broodlord777]

nice animations but y does it need its claws to move?

[Musabre]

Correct me by all means if im wrong, but dont zerg resemble the more modern tyranids in appearance? the 'nids around at the time of starcraft's release looked drastically different. Could mean the modern 'nid range took a few ideas from the zerg in starcraft.

Again, please correct me if this is totally wrong.

Also, 'Aliens' may have had a large part to play in both Zerg and Tyranid design inspiration over the years.

[2192productions]

Ya the relation betwen tyranids and aliens is clear, but i doupt that nids "steal" some zerg ideas (you know the similar look of the ravener and the hydralisk.

[Musabre]

I agree, i did a bit of comparing. I doubt they would need to pinch ideas anyway.

I'm so-so about the tyranids in DoW2 though. I wasnt that impressed by their choice of sound effects.

[zer0nix]

nids came first but after starcraft innovated the monstrous look, gw redesigned their nids to look less 'wtf-alien-ish' and more like zerg.

some noteworthy 'copies' include starcraft beta's mutalisks -which look quite like the gargoyles of the time, the ultralisk, which is unmistakably a carnifex minus two arms, plus an extra pair of legs and zerg guardians which look exactly like a tyranid assault ship, only backwards.

zerglings themselves look remarkably like 1st edition tyranids.

[Lunar3132]

Starcraft was originally going to be a Warhammer 40k game, but GW punked out before it was finished

[guildwarsguy123]

1: Blizz had orcs already THERE, they were corrupted by demons as a whole race. Stole it my ASS. Orcs are basically a general race, anyone can use them. So... no stealing. And if they did, there would have been a HUGE lawsuit... which there wasn't. read up bub >.>

[Ymgarl]

Yes, orcs are used by anyone and everyone, because Warhammer popularised them. Orcs were made green by warhammer, therefore every green orc is directly from warhammer, in one way or another.

[Jonte135]

Nids in DOW2 ftw :D

[lysemads]

i love trygons

[stringdog911]

imperial guardsman goes on patrol, guard needs a piss guard goes behind trees and sees the trygon "ooohhhh SHIT!" no more guardsman or life on planet for that matter.

this is cool but they could of made its tail thicker either way still cool

[TinyMrLIL101]

by the way yes zerg came after tyranids so everyone who thinks opposite SHUT THE FUCK UP MUTHAFUCKAS

[TinyMrLIL101]

yes well i just downloaded the tyranid mod and yeah they got personality i still think they have crappy personality i mean dow2 is like surviving with what you got 6 squads pers side but ytranids have one of their tyranid troops die and they eat its dead corpse! thdy dont care about what happens

[Militiaman2012]

man hes right there is no way tyrs are going to be on dow2!!!!! no offense people but the tyranids ARE JUST LIKE STARCRAFT and relic doesnt want that

[Darkinsigniosis]

For fucks sake, people! Tyranids came before Zerg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Flamemon212]

Sorry but blizz totally ripped off Warhammer and warhammer 40k, they even have suits against blizzard for how alike alot of their things are, for one the zerg are exactly like the tyranids, for another blizzard ripped off the orc storyline from warhammer

[xsenorpantalonesx]

blizzard ripped the orc storyline from warhammer??..i dont remember them drinking a demons blood and turning red in warhammer..

[Flamemon212]

They did, with the whole orcs being created from demons and such. I like warcraft no doubt. And i like warhammer as well. Someone at the shop even told me about a lawsuit that gamesworkshop has against blizzard for it... i forget the terms though

[Vespids]

actually the orks in WH are made from spores. :P

[Ymgarl]

Blizzard certainly ripped off orcs from warhammer. Infact, if you ever see a green orc, it came from warhammer, even lord of the rings is stealing back!

[Broodlord777]

orc are from legends there already is a general look for them

[Ymgarl]

Orcs are from Tolkien, tolkien invented the word orc, from "Orca" which is latin for demon (I think)

[only99ways]

thats y in 40 k we spell em orks smarts

[zer0nix]

it's from 'orchis,' which refers to the testes.

gives a new meaning to the ork 'nobs' (nob being britslang for penis) :p

also of note is that there are many real life mushrooms on earth that -quite remarkably- grow into the shape of erect cocks (which long have been a symbol of manliness).

[banana2202]

Nob is meant to be short for noble, the biggest and best are the key to power, not family, wealth.

[SergeantMFudgey]

And 40k Orks are fungus... hmmm.

[TinyMrLIL101]

fucking hell! ive said 100000000000000000000 times EVERYWHERE and its pretty convincing tyranids will NOT be in DoW2!!! DoW2 is gonna be more squad based personality actions and tyranids are just like... NO! THAT ORK IS MY DINNER! NO! ITS MINe! and have no personality just... fucking EAT everything! they MIGHT make it in a expansion but dont say they definitely will because all of us might be wrong who knows?

[LordGobbleCock]

Dont make such idiotic claims before proof is released. The new video clearly shows that the tyranids are in dow2. So if the game is limited to only 4 races before any expansions are made, then they'll be the space marines, orks, eldar and tyranids.

[TinyMrLIL101]

im pretty sure you just said they will be. you dopey cunt "dont make any idiot claims before proof is released" and that cloud might be a ork spore or a chaos taint so i got an idea. shut the fuck up and go in your corner bish :P

[LordGobbleCock]

You obviously dont no shit about 40k if that looks like an ork spore or chaos taint to you, dont even bother replying to me with such pitiful crap. Ork spores take on a completely different approach then simply spreading out, they concentrate in swarms, and theyre loud as all fuck not even knowing what discretion means. The chaos taint on the other hand looks completely different you jackass, not noticing that probably means youre colour blind. You might also want to learn spelling bitch, moron.

[TinyMrLIL101]

ok cocklicking shit-face shut the fuck up and stop being a nerd A RELIC PERSON SAID TYRANIDS WONT BE IN IT SO SHUT THE FUCK UP

[powerofdestiny]

tyranids are in dow2. its very obvious if you watch the extended trailer..

[TinyMrLIL101]

Haha, you failed to make me sound stupid. I said Tyranids weren't in Dawn of War 2 A VERY LONG TIME AGO. Before the Extended Preview came out, and before it was released. Thanks, you proved yourself too dumb to look at the time things were posted.

(On Topic) I LIKE THE TRYGON! =D

Just so you all know, Dawn of War 2 Beta version for download has come out.

[TinyMrLIL101]

and why learn to spell? FUCKING DIPSTICK at least i dont say u instead of you and y instead of why so dont talk about spelling when i do it just fine fuckwit

[Flamemon212]

Tyranids got plenty of personality, the same personality that their hive mind has that controls every one of em.

[Janchimera8]

Do you know any programs I could download to do stuff like this. Doesn't need to be advanced. Like a 3d computer modeling and programming software.

[Warhound191]

tyranids will be in the new dawn of war DAWN OF WAR 2 THAT WILL BE OUT IN 2009

[ChaosLord127]

I doubt it, as DOW2 is small skirmishes, focused on one or two squads, rather than a horde. Sorry to burst your bubbles....

[WokenxFromxDeath]

The single player mode is focused on one or two squads.

The multiplayer mode and skrmish mode is bigger than it ever was, and uses physics similar to Company of Heroes.

[orest1s94]

does the mod needs the expanions?

[chaoticdanor]

ermm this looks like dawn of war but in the newest 1: soulstorm you stil dont have this race will this race show up in the next?

nice vid btw

[obsidian348]

no this is an unoficial mod so that you can put thewm in...well thats how it looks anyway XD

[Magzone7]

i wonder why i haven't ever heard about trygon...but it's pretty good looking, but the upper-body is indeed stiff-looking

[spartan3924]

forge world

[KrazyKraut101]

I think its body is a bit stiff, like the arms n all are kewl and the tail too but the upperbody is kinda stiff... VERY NICE THOUGH

[shadowkill242]

damn that's creepy i wonder when they die will theyre legs curl up like spiders? ive read they do in a few books they should put it into the mod

[johnpatramanis]

when is the new release coming out?

[KaveyKave]

Soon :)

[willbaboon]

I doubt the trygon pulls itsself along with its claws. I think it slithers tbh

[anusface10]

ya probally

[Layk35]

how do i get this movement? is there a patch?

[KaveyKave]

It'll be included in the next release.

[mumajugs1]

This is WAYYY better then the old movement, before it just looked like it was a stature being pushed, nice job man ! :p

[warrat300]

Hell ya...

[archvile4]

still looks really unnatural.

like this is what it should do when its half dead.

[gratedraindrop]

I agree with zahagiel... Great what you've done so far and I sure couldn't do it, but the body itself seems to float along rather than bobbing up and down. Keep up the good work!

[Sauron338]

OH SNAP. That is the creepiest DOW thing EVER.

[spartan62893]

awsome

[DeathsHerald]

O_O

nice going kavey/skibby/beroc!

[Alan3002]

hey big fan of the mod

i think this new animation looks 100000 times better then the old one

keep up the good work guys

[Zahaqiel]

The upper torso doesn't appear to be putting in much effort.

[thedonoftrek]

WOOOOOT!!!!!!! excellent improvement ;) also cant wait to see the carnifex in action once the finishing touches are complete :D
