The Way It Works - 40K Terra

SteveBerenyi · 08-02-2007

From My talks with ikarus, this is the way that this will work:

Think about the Battlefield 40k System, but make it Warhammer Fantasy style.

All posting and voting will follow the same way it normally was done in BF 40k.

League Information:

1 Warbands League
Up to and 500 Points
Use this to help you Make Your Armies as these are the Rules!
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/w...se/default.htm

2 Competitve League
Up to 5000 Points Lists are Required to Follow all Warhammer Armies Book Rules

3 Actual Gameplay
YOUR ARMY: Also up to 5000 points, (or more

if you have that much.)

For now lists will come to me.
Post a challenge and get a partner and see how your tactics Fare in the OLD WORLD!

Take off the whole needing a picture bit and it'd be fine, IMO.

The problem is fantasy has much more chance involved in the games.
Every time you fire a war machine there a chance it'll blow up.

And if you loose five men from a twenty strong unit theres a chance it'll cause a big chunk of your army to run in panic.

Not to mention deployment and movement are far more important.
I don't see how it can be possible to show army deployment and terrain without drawing up a CGI map for every game.

Thats being worked on actually. *grins* Might be a month or so, but it is in the works!

Stubber · 08-03-2007

So you're making an easy to use map-maker for the upcoming BFfantasy???

Deadly...

Isin't that last word there supposed to have an I in it???

SteveBerenyi · 08-03-2007

might be easier to just make a new map for each with basic traits like so:

Easy enough for me I have Photoshop CS2. just a quick type fix.

True.. But this one is, if we do it, to have unit markers, troop summaries when you mouse over, etc.. Also might include range of fire when you mouse over.. Just depends on who I can rope into helping me!

Stubber · 08-03-2007

I bet Cag could do it,
He can do everything except make cheese on toast with his computer.

He might be a little busy now though.

Hence why I decided to give it a whirl.

SteveBerenyi · 08-03-2007

What can i do to help, could be we can play say 1 turn a week and keep an ongoing record for a HUGE battle (campaign perhaps?)

Stubber · 08-03-2007

People would get tired of it quick and we'd have the same problem with lack of votes as some of the BF40k games have right now.

that we could do, and with this idea do 40K even. Now, keep this in mind... This may only be a drag and drop to put image bits into a frame and post or some such... And is mainly in case some Cutsodes aren't image creation savvy.

SteveBerenyi · 08-03-2007

Well, I am a Professional Graphic designer at a newspaper (dont count the map. i made it and about 20 basic scenery pieces in about 10 mins) if i can help in any way, please let me know.

Definitely keep it in mind!

Killermoose · 08-04-2007

Wow, this is all looking good! I may have to play a game or two of this! But only after I've started this damned BF40k tournament! It's coming, slowly but surely... anyway, good work here guys!

Lord Commander Erus · 08-04-2007

'Moose.. I am thinking,... By the time this thing gets going. and after a few rounds.. The new Chaos 'dex will be out... Thats why I haven;'t submitrted yet.. You wanna hold, or just use old lists?

SteveBerenyi · 08-04-2007

Truth be told, if we get this worked out, i would be fun to do a map based campaign..... if we can find the people for it.

Killermoose · 08-04-2007

Hmm... as we only have 1 checked Chaos list out of 2, we might as well just wait for the new 'dex to come out. That will give enough time to finish off checking the lists (I'll send another list to you, Stubber, sorry for the delay, and please can the rest of the Custodes please select another list to check!) and we can start it!

Torquemada Coteaz · 08-21-2007

Hmm...
BFF? (lol Best Friend Forever/Boyfriend forever... wtf)
anway.
sounds great

on an aside note:
I'm gonna take a closer look at the BF40k/F rules and system.
I hope i can make a java-based interactive map (for 40k and for fantasy) using my next schoolyear for programming class =]

don't count on it though. i have no clue how hard it is, how to link java with 40kterra server (because game info must be saved on the server and not the user's/loader's computer) and how hard GW will come down on my ass if i made it...

But my aim:
overhead turn based strategy of 40k/Fantasy, even if i omit all the dice rolls and just include movement/actions/casualties and such..

anyway back on topic. don't depend on me for this =P if it works you can have it if it doesnt...well another faild project for torq

Lord Commander Erus · 08-21-2007

the dice rolls are fairly easy to integrate, syncing the roll results and causing that action would be the hard part. I'm trying it, but, it's not working so great, lol./

Torquemada Coteaz · 08-21-2007

like i said I'm sticking with just trying to do all the actions and ignoring dice rolling, auto-casualties and such for now.
if i do it well and finish it, it will display and do everything else though
