Broodlord Model

[XSOLDIER]

I've been thinking a lot about the Zerg's evolutions lately. The Overseer as still easily recognisable as a mutation of the Overlord. Banelings still bears some resemblance to the Zergling, and the Lurker's have similarities to the Hydralisk, but I've been looking over the model for the Broodlord, and it just doesn't look anything like a Corruptor, and still bears a lot of resemblance the the Mutalisk's old evolution the (Swarm) Guardian.

Overall, I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same way about the unit right now. I think that it could do with a makeover, because the Corruptor's a really new, unique unit visually, and I think that the Broodlord could benefit from a more unique look.

I noticed that as well. The mouth splits in the middle. I was actually just going to start a thread on it but you beat me too it. I am also very concerned at how many units bear a striking resemplence to drones.







And of course the "base broodlings" whose model is, well, erm

I definately feel that if the Brood Lord is going to evolve from the Corruptor, it needs to look the part.

They seem clearly inspired by manta rays, which are beautiful yet terrifying at the same time (due to their size and alien appearance). The Brood Lords most remind me of Scourge, however.

I didn't know, until now, that they evolved from Corruptors - I thought they were derived from Mutas. Huh. Then again, Gaurdians look nothing like Mutalisks, though Devourers do.

I have no problems with a manta ray looking zerg creature. But 4 manta units? Two of which are the exact same model? C'mon Blizzard Dont Be Lazy!


Especially when they have a really creative and unique base unit. Expanding on the corruptors body layout could create a really cool "Giant Space Kraken" evolution. I would hope I at least have Dsquid's support on that one

Don't fool yourself - DSquid WOULD be the base and model for that unit. But I agree, a nice "Space Krakan" would be awesome to have. It would be the closest thing the zerg get to a capital ship.

Since BL and drones look alike, drones should evolve to BL instead roflol.

Sounds like a plan to me.

A butterfly looks nothing like a caterpillar.
