Catachans-Rambo more than actual Vietnam era U.S.
Cadians-Modern U.S./Nato (kind of)
Valhallan-WW2 Soviet, in part
Praetorian-late 19th Century British
Mordian-U.S. Marine Dress Uniform, Soviet Spetnatz?
Steel Legionaire-WW1 Germans?
Tallarn-Historical middle eastern/north african desert nomads

They are all inspired by history (or bad movies), but most uniforms aren't copied exactly.

you could make mordians like SSnazi units.........and cadians could be isreals army perhaps......tallar n could be afrika korps

Many of my friends have said that GW totally ripped off the Tyrannids from Starcraft. "Those are the zerg!" they say. Of course, the Tyrannids came out a long time ago and it is more than apparent that Blizzard Entertainment ripped off the GW stuff.

First off, GW steals stuff from EVERYONE. They just look at something, and get a idea, which is very close to the orginal idea

And I've been a Blizz fan for about 3 years. I'm just too good in Starcraft/Brood War

And yes, Blizz got the ideas from GW, GW had them out before Blizz even thought about SC....bastards at Blizz....greedy SOB bastards!

And that would be one cool lawsuit! Blizzard vs Games-Workshop!! DAMN!!! It would just be a mass rumble...and think what would happen after it....after everything is settled...what would the people do?!!?

if SC WAS a GW game, imagine how big warhammer would be now (think of what D&D comp games did for D&D)

There was that Epic 40K computer game a while back. You can only play Imperial vs Orks for the campaign but it's fun to blow the dust off now and again and slide through a few missions.

There was talk of the fanbase writing Chaos and Eldar expansions but nothing so far appears to have come from that.

But see, GW is too fricked up to get A GOOD company to make 'em games! They would never of got Blizz to make one, GW likes to get companies that have made really crappy games that no one has ever heard of. Or movie companies that havn't made anything good.

GW needs to get into the video game industry, or else they are gona get screwed.

Ever heard of Warhammer Online? And Starcraft was going to be 40k but GW changed mind at last minute.

Delone · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2002, 08:43:35 AM »

Hahaha, GW messed up there I guess. They coulda made millions....MORE!!

And yes I did hear something about Warhammer Online.....that game...with the company no one has every heard of?

Is it still even being made? I havn't seen anything on it for awhile...

TheMightyPikachu · « **Reply #12 on:** March 30, 2002, 01:17:13 PM »

doesnt like very good to me though, uglier than everquest

ill stick to phantasy star and FFXI for my online fun

Grim Stalker · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2002, 02:46:19 PM »

pssshhh I think Chaos Gate is a good game...

its like an XCom type game with SM against Chaos...

grim

Delone · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2002, 05:45:43 PM »

Hehehe, I tried getting the demo of Chaos Gate, the demo was SO OLD, it didn't EVEN work on my computer!

Riots of War.....oh god....waste of money! I like the strategy to it, except it is so repeditive! I just can't stand playing Eldar against Tyranids FOR A WHOLE GAME! And the graphics are pretty bad too....

Think about this....MMORPG based on 40k! Damn that would be sweet! You could go on ship's and go to other planets...be Eldar, Humans, DE, Chaos....

Oh the possibilities!

Grim Stalker · « **Reply #15 on:** March 30, 2002, 05:59:59 PM »

HERE IS A GOOD GAME to make 40k'ish:

Masters of Orion

where you build colonies and stuff and attack the enemy... you know the game right? its great!

i heard rites of war sucks real bad

and chaos gates wasnt THAT bad

and ALL my games are from Russia - like 3$ a piece - u dont even know how it is in russia...

grim

Delone · « **Reply #16 on:** March 30, 2002, 06:18:52 PM »

Hmm, I've heard of Masters of Orion before. Is it a PC game? I thought it was.....Masters of Orion 5 or something.

Got a link for it?

The GrimSqueaker · « **Reply #17 on:** March 30, 2002, 06:22:31 PM »

Yeah, MoO is fun. Still got it on the computer at the moment. A well made 4X game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit. eXterminate) where you colonise the galaxy while competing for space against your neighbours. A well thought out and large tech tree.

I haven't played MoO II but I heard it wasn't really much better than the first one.

Delone · « **Reply #18 on:** March 30, 2002, 06:39:17 PM »

I've been trying to find a demo for it. But I got no luck so far. Is there one out?

Delone · « **Reply #19 on:** March 30, 2002, 06:40:22 PM »

Umm, is MoA for the Mac?
