Dark Templar Design

Whaddaya think of the new DT design? I personally like the DT itself, but that double-kami he's holding for a weapon is not very convinsing.

 

hmm i liked the old one better but this one is ok,

with its "always cloaked" ability its not like we are going to see it very well anyways.

and the huge blade it used to have was tight

 

Armor doesnt really matter when your completely invisible xD

But I agree with you on the armor point, I liked the big ass blades D=

 

i personaly like the deathsythe idea, but it looks too bright. I dont like his apperiance though, too much armor and he look like a grunt from halo. DT are invisible so they dont need much armor, they are tipicly assasins to slay the enemy with the surprise. so lots of armor will slow their movement/agility down.

 

They need to ditch the scythe if you ask me and for some reason it seems like the one shown from the latest scans shows him with no cloak :-\

 

I love the sickle. But its overall design kinda reminds me of an Elite from Halo. SC stuff we've seen lately seems to remind me of Halo a lot for some reason.

 

They should bring back the old Warp Blades. I don't really not like the scythe, it's just that it doesn't seem to fit in the SC universe. I mean since when did SC have a grim reaper?

And yes, I agree with you Itsmyship, the DT looks too much like an Elite.

 

Honestly I want The Icons To the Skins And such Better so you know what they Actually look like Just like the Zealot i dont think theres going to be much DT in this Its mostly going to probaly Zerg and Terran in my opinion

 

the swedish mag has only got artwork pics, the dt in the screenshots looks fine

 

I personally like that design, but I want the classic DT one back aswell. I doubt it would be possible (unless they decide to do it in the expansion pack) but it would be neat to add t that armored DT in the expansion pack as a distinct unit (as Stalkers are to DTs and Immortals are to Zealots) and leave the classic one in the original game.

 

i want DARK TEMPLARS not grim reapers in SC2, warp blades are so much bad-ass then that poor scythe, bleah

And who, and why powered me down???

 

NOOOOOOOO, i loved the bad-ass blades. it's SO cool with you freeze them in mid attack. he's like frozen with his blade...coming down on you...to deliver...JUSTICE!!!!! i'll miss the warp blades.

 

The only thing I wonder will be how the new weapon will effect it's use. Can they attack two units at once now or something..?

Maybe they can spin and kill anything around them.

 

They need to go back to their cloth garb armor and warp blades... I'm really not feeling this one. Dark Templars were one of my 3 favorite units; if they stay with this garbage graphical design I'll be incredibly disappointed. I can't even pick out where its head is on the screenshot! I could live with the scythe if they toned it down a bit, took off the skull on it, but they really just need to go back to the cool cloth and cloak armor.

 

now that's my kind of guy, totally agree

 

the new look of the darktemplar makes perfect sense from a story line perspective, before sc1 they had no form of industry or army, pretty much a bunch of lay abouts that didn't do much. Now suddenly they are expected to fight in large battles, so obviously they are going to kit themselves out with high tech armour.
also, the scythe will probably harness the same energy that their warp blade uses, so its just a new animation..

 

i agree with u that storywise makes sense, but they need to refurbish the looks, it's to bulkish and that scythe doesn't look fitting for a Dark Templar, Warp Blades need to come back, and especially that skull on top of the scythe looks like c***p

 

Do you want Starcraft 1 and a half or do you want Starcraft 2? I don't like the look too though.

 

It needs to ditch the scyth....and get a psi blade other than that is looks ok...I guess...

 

I like it better when they were virtually naked with just the psi-blade thing and the cloak, like the cape thing not... actually cloaked.

This design is odd, because they're a stealth unit why give them as much armor as a Zealot? Then again Story wise it kind of makes sense.
