Nullifier renamed + new model?

[don]

I wonder how it looks like from the underside.. Is it carting that sphere thing or is it carrying it?

I would love it if it has an 'undeployed' state and it animates to deploy that orb thingy.

Ah well I did only glance at it. unlike the news whores around here who bring out their magnifying glasses every time a piece of artwork is shown (there's nothing wrong with that, btw, just an observation)

Hey, I didn't bother looking till you asked.

I wonder how it looks like from the underside.. Is it carting that sphere thing or is it carrying it?

Neither, the sphere is part of the structure, at least, as far as I can tell.

Meh, maybe it'll grow on me, but I still liked the old model.

[horror]

Zomg the new model is the shit. The freakin' shit.

And i thought the old model was cool...

I think they should just remove the sharp psionic scalpel thingies. Just replace them with a glow.

According to Twitter.com/starcraft the Nullifier has been renamed the Sentry and now has a new model. Personally, I approve



Edit: LOL @ three of these threads simultaneously.

But there's already a "sentry" for protoss. look it up in the units section of this site. but sentry is like a none-moving unit i think..?

But maybe you're right.

Wait, it was the 'Disruptor' wasn't it? - 'Sentry' sounds better anyway.

No man, it was called the Nullifier! I like the old name better.. But a "sentry" is cool too.

Whoot more models for mappers

oh you said it! the more the merrier! We want models! we want models!

lol i have the same amount of evidence as you do, zero.



That i am.



Ive made a habit of ignoring all statments that start with "Blizzard obviously..." since they are almost always wrong.
(Seriously keep an eye out for those on this forum. Youll be amazed.)

lol. i will.

Eh... I liked the old segmented model better. The whole argument about it "looking like a Zerg unit" seems a bit silly and contrived, because it clearly looked like a high tech machine designed to resemble a living creature which is cool and which is one of the characteristic motiffs of Protoss design (the Reaver and the Phoenix being the best examples). It was sleek and graceful (another important characteristic of Protoss units), the new model feels incongruously bulky in comparison (it really isn't, but it does feel that way; more round, less aggressive, and it is a war machine we're talking about). And moreover, it was a unique and memorable design. The new model feels like one abstract design too many.

I agree.

Now move onto the carrier please Blizzard....

Yeah! Re-design the Protoss Carrier! PLEASE!

[Eligor]

If we're already going to apply the "it doesn't fit, it looks like a Zerg unit" argument might as well be thorough and realize it applies to each and every Protoss land vehicle. The Reaver looks like a giant mechanized larva, the Dragoon, Stalker, Colossus and Immortal all walk on insectlike segmented legs and possess an arachnid inspired general structure. In fact, the only land unit of abstract design the Protoss had until now is the Probe. No wonder the new Sentry model feels equally inoffensive.

Cool model, Stupid name..

[GnaReffotsirk]

It should be called the Crystal-baller.
