And this is why you must scour yourselves for Tech Heresy. Pretty much the only reason to ally with the Inquisition is to get bonuses on these investigations.

What do you guys think of these as stats?

[STATS]
Codex Adherence: 1-100
Command: 1-100
Research: 1-100
Renown: 1-100
Loyalty: 1-100
Reputation: 1-100

>>16512024
What distinguishes renown from reputation?
Renown could be % chance of a new entity being aware of your chapter, reputation could be % chance of them already having a favorable view of you?

>>16512039
I was thinking Renown would be like how strong you are viewed and Reputation as being like you said.

>>16512039
An example of a chapter with a good reputation and low renown would be Exorcists, being pretty good but all top secret. An example of a chapter with a bad reputation and a high renown would be Marines Malevolent, well known for their feud with the Salamanders but hated for their assholishness.

>>16512024
Feel there should be a stat for basic resources, which you spend if recruiting or getting additional equipment.

>>16512063
That seems like it would play out sort of like what I was suggesting. Exorcists might have only 5 renown, a 5% chance of another group even knowing they exist (modifiers would apply for being or not being spehss muhreens, proximity to Banish, etc), but if they were aware, it would be a 75% chance of favorable view (with massive penalties in for some groups).

(I think this could be made to work as a very complex, one-or-more players tabletop game)

>>16512090
Influence? Chapters seem to operate less with money and more with force and loyalty.

>>16512090
That would be under Resources, like men, metal (,and money?).

Where the fuck do you get this game? Or is it just something talked about, but never really existed?

>>16512122
Check around the sup/tg/ archives, I think it's in there somewhere.

>>16512127
I have been doing this for quite a while now...

>>16512147
You really still haven't found it? I swear the link was pretty early in the last thread.

And what about random events I was thinking something likethis.
Inquisitorial Vist: after action(?) 1-100 on 1-5 Inquisitor arrives 1-100 +1 for every heretical act/item if under Loyalty safe, if over Inquisitorial stuff happens?

>>16512151
Was it this one? Yeah, I found it.

>>16512156
Just stick to stories for the moment, IMO. Once we found interested programmers they can discuss the mechanics of it themselves. More stories = more fame, more fame = becomes a meme, and if it is a meme we have more chance of people getting interested into making it.

Random allies should be avaliable:

Legion of the Damned
Sanguinor (If Blood Angels successor or ally)
Living Saint (If Soriatas allies)
Kaldor Draigo (If Grey Knights allies)

Should be really rare but powerful.

>>16512156
I'm guessing that's pretty close to how they coded it. I wonder if codex adherence has a modifier to that. Noncodex chapters seem to get Inqed more often in the fluff, and so far in my experience with the game. It must be stratified, if so, because otherwise chapters in the 0-25% range would have Inquisitors following them everywhere.

I think some factions should be fit, such as the Adeptus Mechanicus, for acquiring certain patterns of technology, the Adeptus Mintorum/Guard for support in ongoing campaign.

At the very best, even have governors or sector governors apt to maintain friendly relations with space marine chapters.

I think we should find some time to REALLY get what the codex astartes is all about.

I will do some research and write some stuff up for tomorrow. Maybe this would open up some options... if a game is ever made.

>>16512168
No, not that one. Maybe it was the first thread.

You know guys. /tg/ does get shit done. This is a big fucking project, but do you think we could come up with basic rules for it?

>>16512217
If non-computerized, it would end up being a huge tome of D1000 and D100 charts, I suspect.
Like the old Realm of Chaos books.

>>16512217

A compilation of features and other ideas seems to be in order. Maybe someone could work it from there.

I'm imagining this as a Total War game.

I want so bad.

>>16512249
Nah, it's more like a space dorf fortress. The battles aren't at all player-controlled.

just ot double check, when the option to send people to the deathwatch comes up, i should send scouts, as their hidey skills should let them cower long enough to survive and return with manly stat boosts right?

We really need to learn coding.

This would be awesome game.

>>16512269
Send scout sergeants or veterans with good sneaky skills. Scouts won't survive for long.

'Research' doesn't make any sense in this kinda game

If we ever pull this off, we should use the occasion to "spice up" the fluff around space marines.

>>16512269
You don't send scouts, you send veterans that are badass enough to be able to survive. Even if your rookie scouts survived, hiding doesn't build awesome skills.

Also, when you get them back, be sure to check their histories, you can read the battle reports of the shit they did while seconded.

>>16512337
yeah it does, just not in the conventional sense. Rather than researching technologies (you would start with all of them), you would be researching the function of unknown artefacts, planetary information, daemon names, shit like that.

Does anyone know where to find this game? Does it exist or is it one of those fake games /tg/ does?

Yet.

You probably think Genius: The Transgression and Science: The Hypothesis are fake too.

Anyone found any Codex maneuvers or any maneuvers from non-Codex origins? I want to make a list of Space Marine tactica.

Steel Rain (duh)
Last Stand (double duh)
Drop Pod Assault
Mobile Bombardment (uses Whirlwinds and Rhinos/Razorbacks; I only got this with Imperial Fists)
Suffer Not the Witch to Live
Eradicate the Xenos
Siegebreaker (one of the few Demolisher tactica)
Armored Assault
Armored Take & Hold (a.k.a. metal bawkses)
See, But do Not be Seen
Ablative Defense (the thing the Blood Ravens do in the Chaos Rising mission where you kill Galan & Diomedes)

Looking for Bike and Land Speeder tactics/tactica too.

Link? This has my interest....

>>16512607

Not much I can do. Coding is some form of sorcery as far as I'm concerned, and my knowledge of 40k fluff is limited to the DoW games, some of the HH novels, and what I learn from /tg/.

So has anyone tried out the new Pre-Heresy patch? Seems like fun, but I feel like it would always end with a lot of scripted action.

>>16512801
Roll desert fangs man, you get some alternate endings.

>>16512801
An official patch? I'd say wait until the fanmod gets updated for it, unmodded Pre-Heresy has about as many options as a final fantasy game.

>>16512622
>>16512764
>not just getting our stuff back (taking a page from the Blood Ravens)

Oh yeah. Add this to the tactica:

Gifts Ungiven (Blood Ravens and successor chapters only)

Not like the BR have any successors, but maybe for custom chapter creation.

how did you not get a sallamander reward? they're the nicest chapter out there, they practically throw flamers at you!!

How do you reassign the marines in your command squad? I WANT to have a company champion in each of mine, and not a librarian, but I can't find out how to promote marines to champion or get these assholes back into the librarium. Why don't we have a help wiki for this game yet anyways?

Hey guys, something very strange has happened in my playthrough. I'm playing an Imperial Fists derived Chapter and my Betcher's Gland started working again. It's weird, you know how on occasion you can have your geneseed go bad and make it so that you lose one of your organs for all future Marines, the opposite has just happened to me.

Is this intended or just a bug?

>>16514665

Bug. Game breaking bug typically. I saw it once on a playthrough using the Fists themselves. First my extra hearts stopped working, then the sus an bit, and after less than 50 turns I had marines turning into piles of goo as their bodies shut down with every single organ failing one after the other.

My suggestion? Revert to a different save, or if it's just in a few marines, send them on a long crusade where they can all die gloriously. If any of them return, keep sending them, and ONLY them, off to die.

Make certain none of your apothicaries go with them, other wise you will have those nutty bastards come back with piles of fucked up geneseed and just rape the future of your chapter.

>>16514798
I assume you meant that the Sus-an started working again, as all IF successors have it and the belcher's not working at the start of the game.

I should have known it was a bug when the Belcher's Gland started working throughout my entire chapter simultaneously, I hope that I have a save where this won't happen again.

>>16512714
I can code, what do you need?

>>16515091

Yep, just like the Betchers gland.

I think this thing has gone viral. I'm just home from a study session at the university and i overheard a couple of guys talking about this in the university cafeteria.

we need to go into get-shit-done mode ASAP

Anyone trying to look for the Deathwatch mod? It seems it got misplaced.

Actually, the entire Ordo Xenos don't show up in the game anymore....all the old DW events have been replaced with random Sternguard

:(

Guys my 2co standard died (Killed by orks, but took out 12 of them in his last stand). I want to keep all my sergeants where they are and promote 2nd tac squad leader to standard bearer, but it won't let me. What's the problem? The guy has more honors than most freaking COMPANIES in my other games, why can't he carry the banner?

Pic related, he's the selected marine. He has Marksman's Honor, Imperial Laurel, Iron Halo, Imperialis, three different Skull and Mottos, four Campaign Badges (including Tyrannic War), Deathwatch Veteran...
What's the problem here? Halp me, /tg/!

Its sounds like this game would fulfill my wildest dreams about 40k but I am kinda worried its not real, which is a real shame. Cause someone could make some serious money of us nerds.

>>16519211
Um, it's messed up like that. You have to be vet sergeant to take the banner.
Demote 2sq sgt to special weapon, demote the spec weapon to battle bro, promote the squad leader to bro sgt, he'll self promote to vet sgt. Promote him to banner, and then restore the other guys their original posts. Though you might want to promote spec weapon guy to squad leader and a battle bro to spec weapon. You'll also need to promote a scout to battle bro, of course, if you want to fill the squad.

Had this idea a few months ago. Come to /tg/ and see this thread. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Just in case anyone is still reading this, THIS GAME IS NOT REAL. The made up stories are what is supposed to be an attempt to get people excited enough to go out and make this game. I, however, am saving you from what is actually the biggest trolling an unaware fan could receive on this board. Seriously, if you want it so bad, just grow a pair of self motivations and dedicate yourselves to making it happen. Don't pawn the butthurt off on others.

tl;dr Game isn't real. Let the shitstorm begin.

I hope this game will have as much to do with managing the chapter worlds as it does with combat.

You're the chapter master on the homeworld/battle barge. You're not on the ground commanding squads.

Oh balls. I have no idea what to do here. I'm gearing up to fight off this ork Waagh going for my recruiting world and the forgeworld we're allied with, and I don't want the inquisitor grabbing my whole chapter for being oh so definately codex-breaking.

What do, /tg/?

>>16525821
Do you see the Inquisition fucking about with the Space Wolves? No. Do the Space Wolves break the codex, routinely and regularly? Yes.

Don't worry about it- they probably want to do some bullshit geneseed study or something.

>>16525821
Silence him, abandon your monastery, and move to the Eastern Fringe where the Inquisitors are few and far between. Seriously, all they want out there is Deathwatch materiel, and apart from that, they don't give a shit what you do.

>>16525821
Kill him. Set the meeting point in the middle of the WAAAAAAAAAAGH.

Ork snipers will take care of the rest.

>>16525821
Get your whole chapter out of your homeworld to fight the WAAAGH! and tell the Inquisiontion "Whoops, but we were needed, come back later!"

>>16525841

If you're sure, man, but the Space Wolves are an original chapter, they have millenia of history dating back to the Great Crusade. My little chapter's from the redheaded stepchildren founding, we haven't done anything particularly noteworthy aside from recovering the STC for a new way to produce power armor pauldrons that makes them the same strength at roughly 80% of the material used.

I've heard some horror stories, man. Flame Falcons, the bullshit with the ork snipers on that one chapter...

OP here. So my 20 marines managed to carve out a decent empire on their feudal world. Still no apothecary, still no comms, but a pretty much unlimited supply of chapter serfs.

Maaaybe the warp knell will bring the chapter to rescue them, but probably I'll just get Tyranids or more daemons. Fuck.

I don't think my chapter's going to survive this. I've never fought a splinter fleet before.

But let's do this.

>>16526250

>Having a titan LEGION

>Worrying about a SPLINTER FLEET

>>16526272

I'm paranoid, allright?

Besides, don't splinter fleets come with biotitans? I'm not worried that we'll hold for a time, but I'm worried we'll be overwhelmed. Ammo, power, men, weapons, we have all that on limited supply. The Tyranids more or less don't.

>>16526301
If I recall the devs were mostly agreeing to be low on memes. "The Codex Astartes does not support this action!" alerts whenever you violate the codex were mentioned, though.

>>16526312
Wait. It's really happening?

>>16512318

>>16526301
That's where it is. There's a few coders, some organizational folks, fluffers and just random ideas people already committed.

>>16526315
>>16525695

Am I making myself clear, Guardsman? We are making this damn game! What in the Seven Hells of Chaos are you waiting for! Do you think I sat around crying like a newborn when that landshark got my arm? No! I up and made that damn game myself with my teeth!

>>16526316
That should be stickied

>>16526292
there's only two vassal worlds under the Chapter's purview

also, splinter fleets tend to attack whole subsectors at a time; so long as you focus on combating the seeder ships dropping vanguard organisms and reinforcing any genestealer cults on your worlds and the hive ships that are going to be holding the bulk of the reclaimation forces in their bloated carcasses you might be able to weather the storm in your area quite well.

>>16526332
...or we could keep making these greentext threads, both continuing to generate enthusiasm and providing the devs with ideas at the same time.
