This is what I was thinking for the faction's advisor:ġ: Imperium: A messenger or advisor character from the Golden Throne. Imperium factions can share where needed, but I don't see a human advisor for the eldar, much less I would a Tau helping the Necron or tyranids. I think instead of one character for all factions, the factions should have their own character for it. Lastly, I had a thought about the 40k advisor character. They all make sense since chaos influences minds, tyranids invade planets secretly with gene-stealers, and orks are sentient fungus that reproduce as spores.Ī question I have is should "rituals" return in some fashion in TW:40k? Obviously they would have a different name and such for different factions and not all be based on "magic" here. Also, Chaos, Tyranids, and Orks would leave their own attrition that affects settlements. But if your supplies run out, your armies start to take damage every turn. There's naturally a need for supplies, traveling between planets, and stopping by settled and allied sites would refill it. In addition, I figure how attritrion could work. He would play as a solid defense unit with the ability to infect your enemies and strengthen your units with Nurgle's plagues. You would fill a bar that would let you eventually summon Mortarion to your armies. You do it by defeating enemy armies, conquering settlements, and choosing to infect places rather than conquer them (an alternate to razing). If you're playing as the Death Guard, then the mechanic here is to spread disease and plague to the galaxy. He will play as an powerful melee/ranged hybrid that will remain in your armies for a couple turns before disappearing, and needing to be summoned again. It would work in a similar fashion to the Green Knight of Bretonnia from TW: WH fantasy.įor example, if you're playing as the Ultramarines, gaining "honor" and "glory" will fill a bar that when brought to a point, allow you to summon Guilliman for one of your armies. If you're playing as a Space Marine or Chaos Marine chapter where a Primarch is availible, you can do acts and such to fill a bar that will allow you to temporaly summon a Primarch to fight alongside your army. I just figured out a fair way for the Primarchs to be in the game without being too OP or their lore power nerfed.
