Yes, it’s true! The new, high-quality texture atlas for Legion has been completed and shipped by the ever-wonderful Flaka!

This means that Legion units will slowly start to incorporate a brand new look and feel to better flesh them out as a separate faction against Armada and Cortex. These changes will go out in parts and pieces as our modellers and designers keep working hard to give Legion the big makeover they’ve deserved for a while. If you’d like to keep up with the latest changes as they happen, feel free to head over to the official Beyond All Reason Discord server (if you’re not there already) to pick up the Development tag, then head on over to the #🔋legion-faction and inside there check out the Legion’s Big Makeover Update thread to see a rough timeline of where are, and what’s currently being cooked in the kitchen.

As always, if you’d like to contribute to the modelling legwork to get Legion into tip-top shape, don’t hesitate to come and discuss with us! In particular, the fantastic Protar has been creating truly wonderful concept art and the ever-diligent Tharsis has created a slew of new models with the new textures already, touching base with their work and contributions to get an idea of the sort of design direction we are aiming for is highly recommended!

In the spirit of this momentous step forward for everyone’s favourite green faction, there have recently been some noteworthy additions even without the texture atlas in mind:

• The Bombardier (Tier 2 pop-up grenade launcher turret) and Perdition (Tier 2 tactical napalm barrage turret) made by the one-and-only TheSilverHornet.
• A new Tier 2 advanced construction bot made by Tharsis.
• A new Advanced Solar Collector, distinct from the other two factions, designed by the incredible EnderRobo and scripted by TheSilverHornet.
• A new Solar Collector made by TheSilverHornet
• A new wind turbine made by the awesome Yzch.
• A new Helios model by yours truly, ZephyrSkies.

And we’re still not done! All Legion units that previously had work-in-progress names have been given much more befitting ones! Those will not be listed here, but feel free to give Legion a try, if you haven’t already, to see everything talked about in this post in action.

Happy hunting, Commanders!
