[Assumption] First Shot Of The Brood Lord

[mr. peasant]

Actually, has anyone considered the possibility that they remodeled the Swarm Guardian/Brood Lord because of the Infestor? As I'm sure everyone remembers, the Infestor got an art update where it looks more centipede-esque. Perhaps Blizzard felt this new version, while well suited for the Infestor, looked too much like the Swarm Guardian' s old model?

Yummy. Looks like a big Scourge. Or A slightly remodeled Guardian.

I have to admit, the model is not perfect, but it has potential, I would like to see it in about 2 months when it has gone through a few passes.

As I first saw that image, all I could say was 'why Brood Lord?'. Honestly, I really like the model; it is an updated Swarm Guardian model, sans the tail, or the name. That screenshot, in my opinion, is admitedly low-quality (there's a bit of blur to it), so perhaps some proper action shots would be better.

All in all, I love the model; it looks exactly like the Guardian from SCI, so I'm hoping it get's a rename, and perhaps a few more passes through the art team.

Anyone else think it's a bit odd that the Brood Lord model picture casts a Mutalisk's (or at least a unit or doodad that's not in the shape of Brood Lord) shadow?

I smell photoshop imprints

Its not his shadow, it is mutalisks shadow, they are probably behind him....Also im ok with model, i just cant stand the name Brood Lord....They could use Guardian, Swarm Guradian, Brood Guardian, but Brood Lord is awful name for units that is same as Guardian (Same purpose, almost same look...)

I guess it's possible but it looks kind of like a photoshopped drone to me.

Can I get a link or a scan of the actual article itself? I've only ever seen paraphrasing and translation; never the actual article.

Ah, very good point! There would be a redundancy in the tails.

Here's a comparison between the Guardian and the Brood Lord. Brood Lord seems simpler by comparison, but close overall.

Actually, the thing the Brood Lord most closely resembles is a Drone.
