m0nolith Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 For years before FW released the first book in 2012 there have been many people making their own Heresy armies. 40k units painted in Heresy colors were starting to become more and more common until FW actually figured "Hey, might be a demand here, maybe we should look into making something. It might sell well" And boy did it. Now that the HH is in full swing, I wonder if they'll take up another large project years down the line after they finish the book(s) on Terra and the Scouring. I would love to see some models and a book or two based on the Unifacation Wars. Would you guys be interested in something like this, or is this just a pipe dream? Personally, I would love to make a force of Thunder Warriors! http://img04.deviantart.net/d45d/i/2016/128/b/4/thunder_warriors_by_ilqar-da1s29o.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324119-what-if-unification-wars-game-made-by-fw/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Unification wars risk. That is all. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324119-what-if-unification-wars-game-made-by-fw/#findComment-4448807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Seems like something that might be better off as a smaller, all-enclosed game. Making a full 40k-sized game out of it seems like it'd be even more of a niche than HH, which is the nichier version of a niche game anway. Books on the subject, I'd be interested in, or a specialist game of some sort, but a full-fledged game seems like too much.

MrFlutterPie Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I would LOVE to see some unification wars stuff even if it was just the Thunder Warriors. Easily one the most interesting and exciting times in the fluff for me personally.

Corswain Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yeah I'm in. A range of human "bad guys" who aren't Chaos would be great. Techno-barbarians, gene-monsters and rogue psychic warlords sound fantastic. And Thunder Warriors.

Charlo Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hopefully we'll see Thunder Warriors in the Heresy at some point. Just s big unit thata been put on ice to stop their degeneration that are unleashed when horus attacks to defend the throne world :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324119-what-if-unification-wars-game-made-by-fw/#findComment-4449149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thunder Warriors would be S5 T5 Ld5 Fearless Rage Furious Charge with BS3 stubbers or whatever those Ogryn guns are. Basically they are Ogryns. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324119-what-if-unification-wars-game-made-by-fw/#findComment-4449174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'd actually like to see a Unity Wars boxed game. Small contingent of Thunder Warriors vs. a horde of different human enemies. Then see it expand to 30K/40K. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324119-what-if-unification-wars-game-made-by-fw/#findComment-4449258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminus Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 In a setting like the Silver Tower this could be possible. A few examples of each of the Terran factions, some psyker tyrant as the wizard at the top, a small force of Thunder Thunder Thundercatscoughwarriors trying to bring him down. Various beneficial effects for your side to represent the Emperor's assistance (since he apparently already completed the Moloch sojourn and gained unlimited powah).

Servant of Dante Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I would LOVE to see Thunder Warriors. And Techno-Barbarians. The whole Unification era is do fascinating to me (even more so than the HH). That being said, Forge World isn't allowed to do any Age of Strife/Unification Wars stuff till they do the Age of Apostasy.

Fenbain Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I was planning to run my Thunder Warriors as Gal Vorbak (minus the deepstrike) but Ogryns may well be a better choice.

Kol Saresk Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think they've given us plenty of rules that we could make any conceivable Unification Wars-era army, especially since most of them were ticking biologically enhanced time bombs, so there seems to be little likelihood of them building up a rulebook. That said, it would be nice for us to get some major in depth background on how the Thunder Warriors operated and what kind of foes they faced.

Fenbain Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Ogryn rules maybe, modelwise no way. Oh I've made my own Thunder Warrior models, I wasn't intending to just use the Ogryns or Gal Vorbak models. Only to use their rules.

Hrolf the Cunning Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think that it could be very feasible, the miniatures themselves could be designed for unification war purposes but could easily used for the other elements of the crusade hosts as well, even into 40k to some degree. I think anything that can increase the range of figures available in a financially viable manner would be fantastic.

Noctus Cornix Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If they did a Unification/Great Crusade game, I would absolutely make an army for Ullanor Orks. Not that I'd be able to post them here...

You should definitely do that regardless, great modelling opportunities and it would break the mould of Imperial armies facing off against each other :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324119-what-if-unification-wars-game-made-by-fw/#findComment-4450085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know they took part in the fighting during the Unifacation and the Crusade, but have they ever fought off of Terra in the 41m?
