A new Faction

[hudhouse]

Anyone ever thought of bringing back old factions from Soul Storm to this game? Like Necrons and Dark Eldar?

[Torpid]

Not until the current ones are balanced. Grey knights are not balanced yet.

And then there is the issue of models. Which frankly we don't have.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

yes; it's been thought about lots

[Kvek]

models, balance, animations, etc etc etc. I don't see a way more factions can be added.

[Nurland]

It would be hard to balance as there are some balance issues still without adding the crap load of balancing to do a new faction brings with it.

Not to even mention that somebody would have to make all models and animations, voices etc for the faction(s).

[Kvek]

Ye and since u can't use DoW1 voices etc it's impossible.

[Lulgrim]

I'm sure Caeltos could manage the design and balance (eventually), but the assets would need months of work from a team of competent artists, which we don't have. Relic needed a year for CR and a year for Ret... even if we cut the lame campaigns, we're "a bit" short on resources compared... with all of our umm zero 3D artists.

Tl dr: For the 7000th time, WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE WHO COULD DO THIS.

Stop starting threads like this, they are annoying. I should probably put it in rules or an announcement.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

let's be honest; no one reads the rules. a sticky titled "NO NEW FACTIONS" might get more attention but we'd probably still see threads like this.

[Lulgrim]

Well IIRC there's all of 1 rule right now so somebody might accidentally read before clicking on in panic...
