You could start it up in the chit chat thread.

I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

right so i've made some more progress, out lined fleet limits for the imperial navy and i've decided that the merchants/rouge traders fleet will be turned into a sort of imperial sub-faction used in specific senarios (or if you just feel like it), i'll be doing this with the tau who will also have a merchant navy type sub list

pirates - options to take human, ork and eldar ships (but not ork and eldar) and chaos cultists (not full on marks of chaos but sort of a mild version)

tau - similar to imperial navy - have main list and merchant sub-list

chaos will have its own raider oriantated list

necron/tyranids will be there but I'm not sure on how to make them fit in with the pirate

Eldar/corsairs/dark eldar, well they were pretty much pirates to begin with

when i get round to the senarios i'm going to try and make a story driven campaign, as you play the campaign the fleets get larger and the result of some battles will determine which senario is next/advantages and dis-advantages

Re: Necrons and Tyranids;

Perhaps the bugs could fit in as splinter fleets separated from the hive mind and having to rely on pirate actions to sustain themselves?

The necrons might be represented in the same light - a smashed dynasty with a rogue lord eking out an existence and quietly pursuing goals of revenge?  (I have not read the new necron codex so I know nothing about the new dynasty back-story)


Cheers,

yeah forgot all about this project until last night
well i've done some thinking and heres some more ideas for peoples comments

pirates - made of orks, human, chaos, dark eldar, eldar corsairs - taking ships from one faction will prevent you from taking certian others: for example Eldar cannot be taken with dark eldar and chaos

with pirates i was also thinking of introducing a rule set where you could choose the pirate badn to be made up of a majority of one race (example 2 ork ships for every none ork ship) and that doing this would enable special upgrades, ships and characters

thoughts people

It sounds intersting, I'm guessing this would be focusing mainly on smaller ships like the 2010 list?

yeah small ships: escort, light cruiser and one or two regular cruisers if their background fits them into a convy flagship/escort/anti-pirate role

finsihed the Imperial section off

Edit: Armand has kindly offered to produce both the punished and oppresser Strike cruisers, thus eliminating the need for costly conversions or tracking parts down

started work on the pirates Fleet list; so far i've done the restrictions, cultist upgrades and started the rules for having a 'dominant' race within the fleet

next i'll start on some unique pirate characters

also armand has put both the Adeptus Arbites Punisher and Oppresser strike cruisers on shapeways :)

well this project has already reached 14 pages and 5,800 words

I'm part of the way through the Pirate Characters, suggestions are welcome as i want to try and have a few

so far there is Bakars's Chariot (fanatic magazine) and a mysterious Pagan class light cruiser which seems to have a vendetta against Chaos

I'm planning on adding one for each major race, these will be light cruisers. I'll also come up with some escort squadrons to be famous mercs or a small pirate band of some renown
