Its a shame that all of that footage was recycled from previous 40k Games, I'd be very interested to see what their plans are visually rather than just hearing them.

I like the idea though, and I love the 40k Universe so I'll definately be interested in this to play as an Ork, Necron, or perhaps an Inquisitor if they include the Witch Hunters/Inquisition as a playable group within the Imperium. Maybe even a Space Marine if I can make mine an Imperial Fist or Black Templar, tired of the Ultramarines getting most of the spotlight.

I wonder though, whatever happenned to Dark Millenium? That was another 40K MMO in the works.

40k has defiantly come along way from its days of just models witch was my day, to a crazy 3D game playing computer world. I always loved this game. I started playing back in 2002 and never stopped playing. I was the tau army and had a good size army of models. (Here is what the models looked like).

I still play with my Orks on the table top which I have close to 3000 pts worth, and I have a fair number of Black Templars I really enjoy playing with. I also intend to get a Grey Knights Army just so I can make a couple custom Inquisitors as Heroes. I stille njoy playing the game, and its now in 6th or 7th edition just got released.

As for how well it has transitioned to video games, I really enjoyed the Dawn of War series, Dark Crusade was one of my favourites, and I hate how hard they fucked the canon with Soulstorm. The new Dawn of War IIs I thought were alright, and I think they are more realistic in terms of the Space Marine/Everything else ratio and I loved how they did the Tyranids. I just don't like how the recycled a couple things really poorly, particularly the characters, and particularly Eliphas. He was badass as a Word Bearers Apostle and he just seemed extremely whimpy as a conventional Chaos Lord, having his soul change hands from Daemon to Daemon and Legion to Legion wasn't a satisfying excuse for me.

As for the recent platform game, I really enjoyed it. Never saw the film though, I was just getting pissed at the lack of originality of the stories there. I understand that they're trying to attract new people into the franchise, so they have to make it so that people can grasp the concepts easily, but come on. The game I'm waiting for is one where the attention is taken off of the Space Marines and show off the other sides of the 40K Universe, stories revolving around the Eldar, Imperial Guard life, Orks, Chaos Daemons and Space Marines, Tau, and maybe even Necrons would make far more unique and perhaps provide an even more interesting series of events other than a bunch of Space Marines rushing in to hold down the fort or fight through tides of Aliens to save beleaguered worlds or pieces of Imperial Tech.

I also hope to eventually see games based around internal Imperium affairs, like with the Inquisition, Adeptus Mechanicus, or maybe even the Assassinorium. Those would provide a good change of pace and variety, because I'm worried that the game market may be becoming oversaturated with 40K games based mainly on the Space Marines and nothing else.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
