Attention Games Workshop fans (both of you)

[Schizo_Angel]

ok, in my opinion, this is the way i see the races

High Elves - Eldar
Dark Elves - Dark Eldar
Dwarves - (they get imperial guard units)
Empire - imperial guard
Bretonians- space marines
Chaos - Chaos Marines
Lizardmen - (get ork units)
barbarians - Tyranids
Vampire Counts - Necrons
Skaven - (get chaos units)
Orcs&Goblins - Orks & Gretchin

as for units, i reckon (tho im not sure) that we should go with my UU unit idea for 40k, but throw in some specialised techs for warhammer .

remeber lets try not to pile on too much work at once.

[Schizo_Angel]

ok. jobs.

i call second in command
might be doing some modellin,g but is unlikely

jesse is in command, seeing as its his mod

zulu, you are artwork/background guy
gengis - leader flcs
anyone else that has contributions - send em in!
any modellers welcome, its all good

jobs :

*leaders
*units : a large orc dude, bretonnian knight, dwarf type person , empire steam tank, wood elf treemen/archer , vampire counts vampire (obviously!) , space marine, eldar guardian, imperial guardsmen, chaos marine, ork

that should be enough for the moment but if u wanna do more , fine by me. im not complaining

so we're working on a combined GW mod - going from Warhammer in the first era to Warhammer 40, 000 in the final era?

[Kal-el]

that will not work very well. Jesse and I have discussed this numerous times and have come to the conclusion that the best thing to do would be to make two separate mods. There is too great a gap in time and technology between the two games WH and WH40K.

Hence, we need to pick one game and devote our time and efforts to that genre.

I vote for Fantasy, it will be easier to do. Either way I will be putting together a map based on the maps above.

[Schizo_Angel]

ok. woops.. looks like overextended myself a tad

ok. i vote for 40k, but either would b cool

[zulu9812]

I'd like to see a 40K mod, but Fantasy would be easier to do from a unit graphics perspective

[Kal-el]

From a terrain map perspective too.

I have thoughts on how to doa space map, but they do not correspond with the current system being utilized by the Star Wars mod people.

[Kal-el]

A 40K game would be cool but it should be played on an interstellar map. It could of course be played on a planetary map, but that would be more for scenarios than for an extended game.

My idea is to have the various land terrains represent various star types ala MOO. the coastal terrain should look like rocky planets and the sea terrain should look like gaseous planets. the ocean should look like deap space. The game should only be played with the map setting set to archepalgos or with pre-made maps. You would then settle on the star tiles which would represent your control of that star system.

A concern arises when dealing with resources. Everything cannot be limited to coastal and sea tiles, but the center tile is restricted to the 2 food output. And since you don't get resource bonuses for resources you build a city on there are some limitations that I need to figure out. But I think it would definitely look cooler.

How do I post an image? I found a 3D image of a Dwarf Warrior, which someone could work on for the unit.

It may have been mentioned, but the High Elf codex has a good map of the world

Fraid you can't just walk in and act like you own the place mate. We'll gladly accept you as part of teh team but its always been Kal-el and me leading this project.

We've decided to kick things off with the Fantasy mod and depending on its success we'll follow up with the 40K mod (with a bit of Battlefleet Gothic mixed into it too hopefully)

[Kal-el]

Jer8m8,

could it possible for you to scan a copy of that map and post it here? Give me something more to work with.

Thanks.

[Jer8m8]

My friend owns it, but he and I will both be away till August. Sorry

[zulu9812]

Jesse Coombe, Kal-el - since you started this why not assign ppl to jobs: this thread is pages long and there's nothing to show for it.

phew... been i while. i forgot this was here.

while my expertise lies in 40k, i can certainly help out with the concepts for a fantasy game.

i think that the 40k thing, we'd have to something 'ala MOOjr from civ 2. and that would encompass all 3 or so 40k games (battlefleet gothic, Epic 40k, and the regular 40k.) perhaps we could split into 2 teams one contributing mainly to their areas of expertise, but offering helpful hints on each other's work.

i'm easier to reach by email which is "selfbiased@hotmail.com" drop me a line and put (40k) in the title.
