Favorite 2 Warhammer 40k Races?

[Sarj14]

This is a poll for my Warhammer 40k skirmish series. Now, I am letting you decide on what to play in the first maps! I am making my first map now and want a poll on what 2 races to add in the Alpha phase.

SM = Space Marines
O = Orks
CM = Chaos Marines
E = Eldar

EDIT:
Alpha Stage Progress on Races
SM - 30%
O - 0%
CM - 0%
E - 0%

In 2 hours, I will work on the top 2 races.

EDIT2: I have posted this on the Hive Workshop as well and will be combining the 2 polls.

Chaos Marines and Eldar.

 

[Moridin]

Space marines and Necrons.....but since necrons aren't there eldar.

For the first few months, I will be making SEVERAL Dawn of War maps. After a few are out, I will upgrade and make maps with functions from Winter Assault, then after a few months again, go to the Dark Crusade functions. Don't expect the expansions anytime soon though! Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Moridin]

Yeah I realise . Dont' worry about it too much lol, I'm not expecting you to implement anything like necrons or Tau at all .

 

[DoomedDude]

I recommend putting Space marines and orc / eldar.
Space marines are so basic you "need" to include them and it wouldn't be a lot of difference between chaos marines and regular ones.

Are you kidding me? Chaos Marines and Space Marines differ A LOT.

I know, but if I only add two races, I want work on more functions for the Alpha Release. Also, space marines and chaos marines are different in many ways. I WILL be added all 4 races in the Beta stage and most funtions. I already have it so when you enter water, all base movement speed is reduced. So yay! I am looking at the skirmish maps on my laptop next to me and will be playing a few of them to see what else if avaliable. If you guys have any suggestions right now, please post them. I already know about reduced damage in the indents in the ground though!

 

[Moridin]

^ If you want suggestions for systems....I was actually thinking of an experience system that could be implemented here.

Basic idea (Idea inspired by Dawn of War II):

Units that shoot also miss, depending on the weapon, their experience with the weapon, the distance from them to the enemy, their cover (if it's a self-hindrance), their target's cover, any other factors (like the hive tyrant being a huge target, movement, etc).

Units also gain experience as they SHOOT (and damage) not when they kill. This experience with that particular weapon/weapon type helps them hit more often.


---Basically I've noticed that ranged attacks in WC3 are either homing or siege....which isn't always the case in real life shootouts.

Well, looks like SM & Orks won. 3 here and 1 on Hive. I will start working on those now! Thanks all who voted!

That was quite a short poll. 2 hours and 19 minutes.

 

[Sarj14]

Like I said, it was only going to be about 2 hours then I will work on it.

 

[Tru_Power22]

I gotta say, I really like the whole space marines vs. orks. Seems like the classic setup for me.

 

[Narks]

tau and tyranid

only two sane races in all of wh40k

all others should die

 

[Sarj14]

Btw, if anyone wants to help in this project by triggering/terraining/modeling, you always welcome!
