Those are awesome. Is it possible that we could get the troop icons seperately? Like just them on a white backround?

Yeah dude just download the attachment at the top. [;)]

The "Crown-effect"  above the head of the Ackdarian seems odd.

But afterall aliens have odd ways we cannot comprehend with or Humand-Monkey brain [:D]

Updated the topmost attachment again.
Now contains a slightly different Ackdarian, and a helmeted version if you prefer. And of course the new Naxxilian troop. [:'(]

He needs way more weapons, in a wide variety. Maybe some kind of rocket launcher as well. He's not really all that tough-looking, so he needs more weaponry.

Hey again, thanks for your replies! And I appreciate your feedback/opinions!

I updated the Boskaran with a second version, it's now included in the main troop file together with the old one. I tweeked the visuals some and gave it better and more versatile weaponry.
I replaced the leftmost shoulder-weapon with a longer barreled one, for longer ranged targets. And I strapped a molten plasma cannon to the "claw" arm to help deal with those pesky close to medium ranged targets aswell! I hope you like this one abit better, I had fun making it.

I wanted to make the Boskaran troop as good as I could, as they are my favorite race to play. Simply because they tend to agree with my prefered playstyle of "me against the galaxy" more than the other races. [:D]

Enjoy.

To be honest the extra guns makes it look worse in my view.

Haha, well I can't please everyone [:'(]
Just use the old one Ashbery. I personally like this one better.

Also, i'd just like to add that the green plasma on the new one makes the troop stand out abit better on the tiny troop icon ingame.
