Thats too close. You need to seperate them like the other guy did. And make the first one smaller than the middle one. Actually first picture that you posted isnt bad if you could just add a smaller one on front. Second picture you posted has way to many models overlaping i think.

Does anyone have a pic of the current placeholder reaver that we can compare?

It might look pretty good if u can get the middle one the largest and on the ends the smallest

OMG! :O

Wow. Will it be implemented in the map? Because (at least the one in LA server) it uses the reaver's model of the alpha/early beta version of SC2. Are the animations done? Is there any video with it?

Is it using its own textures? It could use the Alpha/Beta reaver's textures, or some mix of Blizzard's. The way it is, it just seems... off place.

I don't know... Or this idea doesn't seem too nice or I just don't know how to do it.

The one in the front has to be slightly smaller. But I think it is REALLY nice. Especially the blue energy thingy feels good, as it shows sth refering to the attack. Thats the way it should look like imo

I really like the sentry one (but ill admit im biased). I wonder how it looks in game with all the animations and blue ball swirling effects :p

Wasn't there a "finished" looking reaver in the dragoon preview?

i think the first sentry in the sentry reaver is too big. should be smaller.
without that it looks like the reavers "head" is missing

I much prefer the Sentry Reaver, honestly; the other one is clearly from another game and doesn't fit in with the other Protoss units at all. Maybe if it was reskinned with textures from SC2, it'd look better, but as it is now, it just doesn't work.

Also, the way those blue orbs line up like that makes me think of the Reaver storing Scarabs inside its body. It's really cool.

That is cool isnt it.

k10 is it possible to make one with another smaller head segment in front?

Yes, it is.

Actually, it is taller than the rest of the body, since it is larger than the other ones. But I'll make it even taller, just to see. And one thing that I want to avoid is showing the "eyes" of each sentry. And to make it happen, one cannot be too taller than the other... D:
What now?

Agreed.

Wow. I didn't expect a poll for it. I really think the original-based can use better textures - such as the Blizzard's reaver (from beta or alpha) or even from the sentry.

I really want you all to know that this is just a bunch of sentries together. They do not function as a single unit. I don't know how to make them one unit, but the map I made with them is over here: link. If any of you guys know how to make them act as a single unit, please tell me how (or make it yourself).

(And I just noticed that when I look to them from the left/right they look like a chinese dragon. Oo)

That seems too close. It needs a better textures, and slightly better model, IMO. Its face is just... meh. :/
Nevertheless, great model.

I'm dying for this to come out. So many SC2 players have never even touched BW and I'm sure they'd try it out.

Hopefully by next summer it is flawless, just in time for me to blast away a week or two on it!

(Vote): Sentry
(Vote): WC3 Model

I like the WC3 one, the guy put a hell of allot of effort.Colors look right for SC2. But when it comes to which one is best I dont think its a surprise that Blizzardmodels have superior textures and a more aesthetic model.

Its also commentable that the WC3 is made in the image of the orignal reavers form. However as someone pointed out the Protoss "style" has changed in SC2 and directly coppying BW shapes just feels clunky.
