I personally hope for an actual proper symbol maker system.
This is the most unlikely option we could get though.
The option I think we will most likely get is like space marine 2.
Where we will be stuck to a massive pool of logos that we can make our own colors for.
I just hope there’s enough symbols to make bumping into a duplicate faction unlikely
Before you say it kinda looks like a minion. I know but its hard to make a cool looking historically accurate Viking.
Now as for over all game play, they are meant to be a lightly armored scouts that hold the ground.
So over all play style will have you moving fast with low damage good defense.
If you can come up with better fighting style im all ears. I kinda just made this up on the spot so its not the best.
Also I originally wanted to us AI. Saw the results and went. "I can do better then this."
And ended up making something on par that took 3 days to do it.
When I was playing I looked at the designs how they spoke and the songs playing.
And I thought they represented negative traits.
I thought that:
Hemlock represented artists who steal songs since he's the only boss who doesn't have an original song as his fight theme.
Prophet are artists who only care about the money since his name sounds like "profit"
and he wears white designer gold trimmed jackets with purple.
Dex represents artists who do a lot of drug abuse, since he's HOOKED to a reactor.
Arora are artists who let the fame get to their heads, because she has a litteral god complex and thinks everyone is around just to see her.
I personally kind of felt disappointed when I found they just represented the seven deadly sins.
Honestly was I the only one that thought this?
Most of my Wishlist is related to the army painter.
Feel free to say your own Wishlist, if you want.
1: Regimental/Company identifiers.
The guard tend to have numbers like “115th” on their Pauldron, and space marines sometimes have Armor trims or heraldry to tell companies apart. I personally wish we can customize these if they will make an appearance in the game.
2: Custom spawn pools.
I hope we can make our own spawn pools, if we want more verity for the uniform of our guardsmen or space marines, we add that uniform ourselves. It personally annoys me when we get games with army painters but we have no control over the spawn pools.
3: Homeworlds.
One idea i personally love is that our custom factions get a Homeworld in the game. And having it be the tutorial planet would be cool.
4: stellaris style empire spawn pools.
In stellaris you can make a custom empire, then set it to ether have a chance of appearing in a campaign, game enters to appear in a campaign, or removing it from the spawn pools entirely. This would be awesome because then at random you could suddenly find yourself fighting your custom orks after deciding to give eldar a try.
5: separate unit customization.
One thing I hope for is that one color scheme or style doesn’t force itself onto every unit in your army, I personally want my elites to have special uniforms, my HQ units to have their own ETC. so that the army looks cooler and organized, but also acts as a little bit of color coding so you can quickly understand what unit it is at a glance.
6: uniform mix matching.
Being able to pick what parts of the body use what.
Like Armageddon helmet with cadian chest, with mordian legs and tempestus scions arms for example.
7: Detailed lord customizer.
Im not asking for full on face sliders, but having maybe a choice between a small list of bits, like nose mouth hair eyes, so that custom lords won’t be like clones with near identical faces would be nice. That and having verity in choice of outfit.
Now we’re done with the Army Painter Wishlist. Onto other stuff
8: Hive cities.
I would personally like if hive cities had layered defences, like a weaker outer wall then you get to the actual city part. Kinda like the gates from three kingdom’s.
9: reinforcements deployed by transport.
In my opinion, reinforcements should be dropped in rather than marching in from the side of the map. It fits 40k more like that and would look cinematic, if your making a final stand then a bunch of valkyrie’s fly over head and drop off a bunch of guardsmen.
10: melee sync and collateral.
I know we’re going to get something like this, but I more imagine syncing like shogun 2 where you see them, parrying blocking tackling. And as for collateral. In total warhammer 3 I love watching my general duel the enemy general and watching as their swings kill both friendly and enemy.
Thats about it. I know we won’t get most of these, and for the ones that we do get won’t be in the way I imagined.
But still I personally hope we get these.
I want to know, how I can get as much as possible while spending little.
Races I prefer are humans and elves.
