All in all, it sounds a bit gay-sexy though.

I would not be surprised if this was intentional. WH40K is so deliciously over the top.

[Cthulhu]

I believe, with the geneseed, there is a limited number of them and every time a Space Marine dies it has to be collected or they lose one potential new recruit. Of course that doesn't lead to a very sustainable faction where every lost battle results in unrecoverable troop numbers, so that's why this game has two appear for every fallen. Grimdark over sense and all that, Warhammer 40,000 is really not meant to be taken serious.

300 planets lost to alien invasions? The empire is even more doomed than before, DOOMED, but doesn't affect them in anyway.

The official game lore also has two geneseeds per marine, one in the chest and one in the neck.

Indeed, if you get good relations and demand military assistance you can order all nearby ships to a system.

[Getix Kain]

PTW.

Looks interesting.

Warhamster began as over-the-top-humor and satire of militarism, where not making any sense was part of the fun. However, I think I it has started taking itself seriously, pushing how all the grimdark and hungry, hungry hippos eating stars is cool and not silly at all. Many fans take the lore seriously nowadays, without the slightest smirk. So yeah, that is kind of where I lost interest...

...but I still want to see this game finished and fleshed out! A proper Battlefleet Gothic adaptation would be great too. I used to play that and Mordheim as a kid.

On the bright side, you don't have to die for it to be extracted. In fact you have to survive for ~5 years for it to even be usable, so the game has it completely backwards.

It does? Huh. Whelp, more fool me for doubting the incredible minds at work on this game, they know their 40k.

@Majestic7: There's this wonderful cover of a book released by Games Workshop in the 80s or early 90s called something like "Dancemoves for Space Hulk".

[GobbieMarauder]

Wow, you can trade Gene Seed for Requisition?

A necessary mechanic maybe, but counter to most Space Marine lore. (Excluding the rule that there are no rules in 40k.)

That's how new chapters are made. Your Chapter Progenitor is the chapter that gave up one thousand geneseed to make yours.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't Marines grow additional geneseeds if they survive long enough?

Hard to say (I'm going by the wiki here), but it seems like no. Otherwise it would be kinda weird to only harvest them from dead people (which is, again implied, not stated, to be more of a custom, then a hard rule).

Plus it would undercut the theme of Marines dying having a plus side. If marines could regrow the geneseed, it'd stand to reason the goal of most space marines would be to survive, for the good of the chapter, than die for the Emperor and the Imperium. The additional gene seed is the perk that makes their death's less tragic/unacceptable.

[Retropunch]

Just played 20 minutes and I really like what I see. Obviously incredibly alpha, but it's really going along the right path.

As with all of these kinda projects, I really hope that the creator spends time on the bug fixing and polish, rather than just jamming more content into it, as it's pretty (/very) messy right now. I also worry that GW will decide to shut it down if it gains any kind of momentum, which would be a real shame as it's things like this which would actually get people back into playing the tabletop.

Is there a way to increase the resolution ? Trying to manually increase the window size just lead into crash.
The text is really tiny small.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Not so far as I know. Sorry.

By this do you mean, you just maxmized the game window? I was able to do that w/o a crash.

Still doesn't help that even maximized, half-sized text is almost unreadable.
