simison Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 When I first read it, I was like, "That sounds oddly familiar but doesn't feel 40k." Looked it up and, ah. I'm wary of this line of thought, but, just to be clear, what are you thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelborn Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 With the release of Halo Wars 2, a new faction of Covenant was i troduced: The Banished Led by a brilliant Jiralhanae, the Banished just fight for their own sake. No zealty, no religions, no feud against Elites as they see this odd feud as futile. Could be of interest as a mercenary fleet ehich was once hired to fight against the Imperium during the GC and are now hired by Alexandros to fill his ranks out of desperation. Some tenses between them and their former enemies, some hilariuos teasing from the mercenaries' side. And they could be a former part of a large, yet unknown xenos realm, which we could introduce as the main aggressor for later. TBA 2.0 for example. Though I was just refering to the Jiralhanae, a mix off a handful of species could fit as well in order to mirror the diversity of the imperial forces.

Skalpynock Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Which is different from the Kroot how? Honestly, I'd rather we don't go about and invent too much xeno species when: ⋅there's already a :cuss:load of 'em ⋅it's against board rules to discuss inhuman vermin Doctor Perils 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yeah, the Kroot are well known for being trolls, especially with their eating habits. And they are already here as opposed to importing another fandom's alien race, which I'm not sure GW has done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomus Sardauk Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Please no, the Nomads can hardly be a substantial threat to the Imperium if their entire race can be wiped out with a Hand Flamer. Talonair 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How's that? These machines are not the Nomads. They are just host bodies, warmachines. The Nomads themselves are the black tendrils woven within. They take hold of the fallen's armour and force them to commit what can only look like treachery. They are untouched by the flame, and rad-poison only makes them stronger. Only by the sword can they be vanquished."

Description of the Nomads by Captain Tiebault Gaulthier, Ultima Armada order I like it. I had an idea in a similar vein, that they are warp/webway beings who constructed bodies for themselves. Was worried that might be too similar to the Necrons and C'tan(the C'tan admittedly being an inspiration for the nomads). I also like the idea that they can only be dealt with at close range.

Description of the Nomads by Captain Tiebault Gaulthier, Ultima Armada order Interesting, the machine bodies not being their true form reminds me of the Vex from Destiny, with only their organic "cores" being the true creature, only now the Nomads can infect/possess/control other beings around them should their own machineform suffer crippling damage. Very sinister indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Heh, spending my days reading mycology studies made me wonder if fungi could work as aliens. They :cuss:ing do. And I've not checked the stuff about the non-air-needing ones yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just one more week until I finish my internship. No more 50+ hour weeks split between school, internship, and work! Anyway, I like the Nomad-tree idea, regardless of the form they take. We have humanoid aliens, reptillian, and so on. Not enough plant-based ones.
