2011 Book of the Void

Yes, but the earthseeds they create are made out of antimatter, and tend to cause small star systems to explode.

Again, adding black guard makes them too imperial in nature, and sounds like commisariat. to me.

Also, they don't have the resources to do this.. it's easy to control the problem when they are young instead of dealing with the problem when they are older.

I may have some really exciting news from Mangozac of Resinaddict for you all... keep your eyes peeled!

[zaxqua]

So what your saying is psykers can't really control their own powers. What is Mangozac of Resinaddict?

[commander]

He makes stuff in resin. Good stuff as far as I know

Check out his blog section, you may find yourself drooling uncontrollably.

[zaxqua]

Does he sell the Zeus cruiser? Almost makes me want to start a Voss fleet.

[Zelnik]

Yes he does, he also sells a resin light cruiser in both the Endeavor and Dauntless design.

When I found him doing this, I replaced my ENTIRE FLEET with voss prows.

We are brainstorming a cruiser chassis for the diasporex, we have a few wicked ideas so far... keep your fingers crossed!


Some of the interesting ideas we have come up with...

two different hulls, one for carriers, one for gunships

weapons will be, instead of large 'bay like' bits, determined by turret bits, think acherons only larger. 

[zaxqua]

Voss prows are win.

So one hull for europa and neptune, and one for callisto, ganymede, and titan?

Be nice to have models designed specifically for the diasporex.

[Zelnik]

the IO will probably be made out of the same hull as the callisto, ganymede and titan

[zaxqua]

That seems a little unfair to the Io. It's the best ship they have and it gets the same hull as a regular cruiser? How does 8hit callisto and 8hit ganymede and 8hit titan =10hit super ultamite death cruiser? Am I missing something?

[Zelnik]

I understand your feelings on the matter, however, if you look at a Repulsive (which is what the Io was based on) it is EXACTLY the same as a normal cruiser (with a few negligible changes).  The only thing that sets it apart is it's prow.

What will separate out the Io from the rest of the fleet is it's raw firepower in comparison to the other ships, and torpedo tubes of course. 

[zaxqua]

Ok, fine, as long as no one is allowed to field it without making it look different than a regular cruiser.

[Zelnik]

Heh so bossy!

don't sweat it. If we can agree on a design, I won't let it go without a clear way to separate it out.

[Zelnik]

Hey folks.  I am sure you all want an update on what is going on.

My life has hit a busy stretch, that probably won't stop until september or so, but this has not stopped me from work on this project. Since the rules are effectively finalized (effectively. If you have issues with any of them, SEND ME A PM) I am working on backstory and fluff.

Me and Mangozac of Resinaddict are working on a ship design for the Diasporex.  We have some pretty wicked ideas (thanks to the inspired modeling work of my friend Brandon.)

Right now, we have ideas for cruiser level ships, battleships, I am sure, will follow. 

If you have story ideas, PLEASE tell me! I am open to inspiration!

[afterimagedan]

Can't wait. The Diasporex rules have been my work reading material lately. I like it and I think most of the ideas you posted in this thread will make them even better.

[Zelnik]

More news.

We have a sketch artist!

Zac is finishing up other projects and then we can go full swing into this.

Any story ideas?
