Unit Portraits!

Beyond the link there's nine unit portraits, three of each race.
They all look stunning. ...Except for the Nighthawk. I hope you don't actually have to stare the pilot in the back all the time.

whoah bro!!! those portrait are fricken smexy!!!!

 

Nice! The Lurker doesn't really give us any clues as to what its model will look like unfortunately. And the Nighthawk isn't too bad. It's just a different angle to show off all the technology.

It's the Warp/Void Ray that sucks. Isn't it supposed to be unmanned?

 

no thats the phase prism.

the void ray looks pretty cool but its not really distinctively protoss, i'd like to see more of the face, and have the eyes emit power
can't see much of the lurker but all the zerg look nice.
don't like the the terran ones except for the hellion
dark templar looks badass
archon looks cool, hopefully more chaotic with the animation

 

@Itza. So, do you think it sucks lorewise or do you think that the portrait actually sucks? I think it looks cool actually. I'd rather have that as the portrait than a glowing chrystal or something (if it was unmanned). This gives it a lot more personality.

 

@ overmind. I know the Phase Prism's unmanned, as well as the Colossus, but I still thought the Warp/Void Ray was as well.

@ GMG. Well Probes aren't manned and they still have an avatar, so it would just be more of the Warp/Void Ray itself.

 

well, i have some leaked sounds with the (then)warp ray, but they are outdated and it may have changed, i personally prefer it being manned for many reasons.

 

it should be manned. I thought it was always manned.

Anywayz overmind, Void Ray guy is completely covered in armor (or a suit..............lets just call it clothing..). I wonder why? his inside his ship y does he need clothing covering his whole face and body?

 

They're very nice, especially the corruptor and the marauder. But why the hell does the DT have a hydra face?

 

^
Apparently (i heard this somewhere...cant remember where) the DTs likes to decorate themself with the bones of dead zerg. Why do you think the concept art the DT has so many bones accessories on him?

 

@Kuvasz. To show he killed a Hydra? It's not actually part of his face.

 

its like ceremonial armour.

i don't mind it having some armour but the extent they did it is overboard and it looks like one of those statues using basic shapes to represent a body done for the protoss.

 

^
maybe as a picture it does...but it might actually look so much better when your just playing the game. Like its moving his head around and all.

Still dont get y he needs full body/face armour when his inside his pimp mobile.

 

I know they like to cosplay Zerg and bones and stuff hanging on them are fine, but putting an animal face on your head seems a little retarded. Also, how do they cloak Zerg tissue?

 

^
ahh its not that retarded. They just showing that they are different to normal protoss.

I too wonder how they can cloak zerg tissues...i guess not everything has to make sense in sc hey.

 

They cloak the bones the same way they manage to cloak their clothes I would think.

 

while they bend light around themselves, suppose they would be able to bend it around small things on there body as part.

actually i think the armoured look is pretty cool, especially with the look of the interior of his pimp mobile in the background, its like the void ray has just the bare minimum life support systems, like his needs to be suited to survive.

nvm actually protoss can survive in a vacuum...

 

^
lol
well i dont mind the armour...i think it still looks cool

 

damn this is making me want the game SO MUCH now..

 

I might be a bit behind on the curb here, but what the hell is the Night Hawk?
