Model description       : The Space Marines from the Warhammer 40K universe are one of the most feared of all human warriors. Near superhuman in abilities due to their gene boosts, armour and weoponry they are a force to be reckoned with.


Other info              : This is my SECOND custom model, err, number of models. Actually it's an update of the Neomagi model I did some time ago, completely from scratch. After many, MANY hours of tweaking I can say I am happy to release this...with the intention of possibly improving upon it later when the mod I am undertaking takes shape. These improvements include the Karma (first), animations and skin...perhaps even the model itself.

			============================================================
			HELP WANTED!!! I am undertaking a mod based on Warhammer 40K
			and I am looking for, well, basically a whole team. I have 
			a 14 page development brief mapped out, the marines nearly 
			completed with bolter, website ready to roll and I am looking
			to make this into a proper conversion. 

			If you are interested in helping out, email me at :
			discmage@neomagination.com with some of your work and/or 
			abilities and we'll see if we can get this ball rolling.
