Yeah, I dunno. They sound more British, but that's probably just because GW is a British company. THQ might be as well, dunno.

Anyway, this theoretical WH40k: Silent Storm would be better served by making the characters from a penal legion, so that you get a wide variety of voices and appearances.

Penal Legion game would be fucking boring because it would be CHAAAARGEEE and if you tried to do anything else than running up to enemy while shooting you would get exploded, so GAME OVER. That is why Inquisitorial Stormtroopers would be better. They can come from anywhere (not even be Imperial Guardsmen), have easier access to bigger variety of equipment, be actually trusted to not wear an explosive collar 24/7, get to actually do tactics and stuff...
So basically, we need All Guardsmen Party: The Game.
EDIT:
Also, yeah, Cadia is was a bit of like Canada, but other than some bits (TINY BITS), they're mostly just Generic Occidental Army actually, no, they're fucking Grimdark Generic Occidental Army. AFAIK, Cadians only control 30% of Cadia, with Chaos forces controlling the remaining 30% (where's the 40% you ask? It's a no-mans land that isin't even land anymore, it's dead bodies now). Cadia may have been like Canada, but nowadays it's just a horrible hellhole where nobody cares about what it is anymore, a place where you learn how to shoot so young that when you're toilet-trained you're told to aim your dick like it's a lasgun. And the only reason they're not all dead is Creed tactical genius which makes Titans and Baneblades and stuff appear out of nowhere. In Cadia, wind doesn't blow. It sucks.

Clone Commando done
Sw Stormtrooper Commando cancelled.
Wh40k Stormtrooper Commando should be done.
Astartes commando will probably be done at some point because posterboys. Will probably feature ultramarines/blood ravens.

I think there was a game called Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command for PSP, and yes, it was Ultramarines.

It was actually a Nintendo DS game. I have it.

Read up on the Last Chancers, dude. 13th Penal Legion, the best and worst scum in their segmentum, fighting hard (withOUT explosive collars) and undertaking suicidal missions vital to the Imperium's interests in order to be granted a pardon. And no, in this case "suicidal mission" =/= "CHAAAARGEEE" because there are often only a dozen or so Last Chancers and they need every trooper and specialist they have.

Storm troopers are too uniform and are supposed to be professional. THESE GUYS are the wacky cast of characters that Silent Storm demands.

I'd be (semi) okay with an FPS as a Spess Mahreen if it was Smurfs.
I say semi because I find Space Marines pretty boring compared to the legions of cool shit that 40K has.

[Arx]

I have to say that if I were to play a Warhammer FPS, I'd most like it to be the ridiculous Darwinian IG one that was knocked around a while back.

Last Chancers are unique. They aren't exactly penal battalion, they were literally made for one exact purpose IIRC, and every mission in between was just training to determine who is best, so it's why they aren't the ones for charges. Regular penals aren't even given guns usually.
The Stormtroppers are supposed to be the best of the best if they come from Schola Progenium. The random Stormtroppers that get conscripted by Inquisitor do help him can be anything, which is pretty cool. Your main character could be an Inquisitor who gets help of myriad of Guardsmen, similar to the recruitment from original SS games. Maybe even some SoBs if you do missions for them and occasional help from Marines. Seriously, the idea with Inquisitor makes space for a lot more things and would be much closer to original SS game, with collecting clues and shit. This is what the Inquisitor game should be, instead of a damn Hack&Slash&Blam.

That's the All Guardsmen Party I linked few posts before.

Seriously, they could just do a Mass-Effect style game and get all the money ever. There's even a system to replace Paragon-Renegade right in the lore: Puritan/Radical.

No, I meant the FPS inspired by AGP's Darwinian character creation. The one where you're blessed by <chaos god> to keep being resurrected.

Except no.
That's fucking heresy.

Can't stop progress

You could do a fun easter egg side-plot with constantly killing yourself because you don't want to be heretically raised by Slaanesh but Slaanesh keeps bringing you back to life anyway, until you eventually become jaded or decide to live as long as possible to keep the heresy to a minimum. Or keep killing yourself because aaaaah

I guess the point of the game could be breaking the curse thanks to EMPERAH with as little deaths as possible, with addition to the ULTRA HERETICAL path you HERETICS apparently like.

Spoiler: This needs to be a game (click to show/hide)

[Shadowlord]

Wasn't there already a WH40K FPS? (Apparently it was a TPS, but whatever)

(I say having never played it)
