oh, catachans. sorry, i thought that said cadians >_<

yeah, cadians would work for the WH. maybe, just maybe, tallarn for the DH? just for diversities sake? (ie "Warrior" in tallarn fatigues, or mrtn'c blue mage for "Heirophant"/"acolyte"/"mystic"/"sage")

and maybe grey knight--justicar--tactical dreadnaught (termie)

and the heavy GK's are called Purgators.

the hunters should also get ICBM equivalents called orbital strikes in ythe latter era.

*Tallarn... tallarn.. those are the arabinho dudes? I`ll ask LMR or Winter to make us an arab like unit with a machine gun, not a rifle, like it is now. Wait, why do we need Tallarn, again? For the Henchmen or something?

*Grey knight - justicar - Terminator? Cos the "tactical dreadnought" might get confused with the ...um..regular dreadnought, which is a dreadnought, and a terminator.. isn`t.

*Purgator, gotcha.

*IG and Marines don`t have orbital strikes?

 

[Quinzy]

nope, well, not in-game anyways (well, if they take Hunter allies then obviously they can but thats a whole new complex)

see, the inquisitors are the only ones that can go Exterminatus on a planet, and the iquisitors (the Ordi) are different the the marines (the Adepti)

 

[Stormrage]

Exterminatus Extremis

H-Okey, I`ll give them some nukes then

 

[Stormrage]

So, OK, I never really understood that "miniature" fetish some of you guys have, I prefer it like this

 

[Quinzy]

O.o i want one...

 

[Stormrage]

You know, about cities... Would it be a good idea to have military bases act as cities? Something in the line of Firaxis` modern fortress combined with the modern colony(but not them, just an example!) for the Imperial Flavour and so on?

I just can`t imagine the evil guys landing on a planet to build stuff..

 

[Virote_Considon]

That sounds good!

What I was thinking earlier, was that the scale could be so that an average city size would be 3*3 tiles, which means 4 ruins with roads running between them.

 

[Stormrage]

Oh, but ruins are going to be a part of the terrain , probably replacing the mountains gfx, cos you can find mountains anywhere on the map

 

[Virote_Considon]

Yeh, I mean that this could be the rough scale for the cities, so that instead of just one ruin represnting a runied city, it's a few, joined together via roads.

 

[Stormrage]

I picked mountains cos they are usualy a few tiles groupped together
My first choice was the jungle, that one really gets groupped!, but it can only be found in the equatorial region.

 

[Virote_Considon]

I've never noticed that!

 

[Quinzy]

yeah, bases sound good! good idea storm!

 

[Stormrage]

Thanks, that means alot coming from you, my most trusted advisor

 

[Quinzy]

well, the whole idea of building a hive just doesnt fit, given the storyline. building outpost cities sounds more realistic (ie: bases)

but that'd mean that we'd have to make tau, eldar, darkeldar, tyranids, necrons, chaos, LaTD, the Ordo's

 

[Stormrage]

Well, we will make them, one day

 

[Quinzy]

hopefully. i really really hope we can eventually get a unit maker to do tyranids. they're the most unique, and the rest could be c'n'p-d

 

[Stormrage]

I think we`ll get them last.

First thing- Ordos and Chaos. Then LatD, then the Eldar civs, followed by the Necrons and the Tau.

 

[Quinzy]

i was just thinking- how about the new gobbo LH for LaTD?

 

[Stormrage]

You refuse to be the fat red guy? Sure we can use him, but you could also try to find a picture that shows what the LatD leader (and by that I mean a mutated you ) should really look like, so I can pull some strings
