    Blizzard has a very unique and cartoony artstyle which is seen across all of its games. Warhammer tried to emulate this with its latest release, DoW3

     

    Needless to say, people consider one of DoW3's critical issues as its blizzard-like artstyle. Maybe there is inspiration, but ultimately Warhammer is a very gritty setting. Even the comedic shoulderpads are portrayed in a very grungy and realistic light.

    WoW is more cartoony than any 40K games out there. Even the black sheep like DoW3 and Eternal Crusade. Fair. But I still fail to see how any of that restricts you from portraying the grimdark feel. Taking a casual stroll through Duskwood should be enough to enforce that idea. It's all about how you build it. I have done some test building on RPH in the past and rest assured, the results were satisfying enough. You just really gotta focus on the darker aspects of WoW. Not everything in the game is bouncy and colorful.

    but WoW is about as far as you can get from 40k from a visual standpoint. 

    From a storytelling standpoint? Definitely.

    From a visual one? Yeah... no. I dunno how much attention you've been playing to recent WoW assets (especially tier sets ever since burning crusade) but WoW is very much visually inspired by Warhammer. Big, bulky shoulderpads. Blend of Sci-fi and Fantasy (now more than ever) Not to mention, the in-game Orc models are more similar to Orkz than they are to actual Orcs from Warcraft. Besides all of this, you can always sprinkle in a bit of imagination and some creative ideas.

    This would be better resolved in a game like Roll20, outside of WoW.

    Meh, if you think so. Roll20 isn't exactly my type of medium. I enjoy WoW much better as a roleplaying platform. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but the way you're putting it sounds more like you're trying to keep non-wow related RP outside of Epsilon. Please, don't get mad. It's just what it feels like to me. I mean no offense.

    (Considering none of the other RPGs have updated)

    The main reason why I picked eight edition. The story is moving once in a blood moon and some of this stuff has serious roleplaying potential.

    You are dead to me.

    In all seriousness, there are some thing people already pointed out about this guide. You draw some stuff from non-canon sources and your personal feelings. If you want to make an objective guide, use the actual lore for it. Now, not saying guides being subjective is bad, I'm just saying that if you are sharing your personal feelings on the matter, you shouldn't start the guide with this:

    Worgen are one of the hardest 'races' to get right in roleplay, you're either good at them, somewhat good at them but do some stuff wrongly, or just cringeworthy and hated by all.

    But don't worry, I'm here to go over some stuff about worgen I feel people tend to gloss over, forget or just do wrong.

    So. I'm not writing this as a joke, as much as I know some of you would like this to be one. But I have been thinking about 40K a lot lately as a possible alternative to the classical WoW setting. Different assets from the 40K universe are not very hard to portray in WoW besides more specific stuff like weaponry and vehicles. (Though I suppose if it is really needed, there are people handy enough with patches to port over some DoW assets.) But regardless of any of that, how much would you guys be interested in having the Grim Darkness of the far future here on Epsilon? Of course, it would be taking place in a completely segregated phase with no connection to Warcraft whatsoever, so we wouldn't disturb the natural flow of roleplay outside of it.

    The Plot would most likely be set during 8th edition, meaning while all this crazy stuff with Ynnead and Rowboat Girlyman is happening. My original intent is and was to focus the scale of the conflict on one system alone with few planets and some variety. The system in question would be a former Imperial Agri-World (and few other planets) that faces an incursion of chaos after the galaxy was ripped in half. Furthermore, Tyranids from Hive Fleet Kraken are an imminent threat to the system alongside with an approaching Green Tide ready for a massive WAAAGH! in name of Gork and Mork. In retaliation, the Imperium of Man sends Adeptus Astartes and members of the Astra Militarum to the system in order to stop the incursion. (yes, I called it by its High Gothic name, call me normie if you want.)

    I haven't thought on how to implement Eldar and Tau into all of this. But they suck anyways, so if somebody actually wants those around tell me down below.

    As for the races, I think those are easy to convey. Obviously, there are many races in 40K, so I would imagine our conflict will be limited to a few of them. These are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

    Orkz - Orcs

    Gretchin - Goblins

    Mankind - Humans

    Chaos Marines - Humans undead skins

    Squats - Dwarves *BLAM*

    Ratlings - Gnomes

    Ogryns - Hobgoblins/Ogres

    Daemons - Demons

    Eldar - Blood Elves

    Dark Eldar - Undead Blood Elves skins

    Tyranids - Bug models

    Tau - Draenei

    If you have any more ideas for races, feel free to leave them here. This topic exists just to give me a rough idea if people would be interested in actual 40K roleplay. I'm open to suggestions and criticism from the community regarding anything from the plot to the actual setting. Nothing I set in stone until I know what you guys thing.

    PS: While I already have the Ebon Highguard, this would be my passion project for whenever I'm not busy with the guild. I have enough free time to work on both projects and if this ever happens, I will be treating the Highguard and this with equal care.

    Alright. Hi everyone in this thread whose posts I did not bother reading.

    At any rate, I think this is a really important issue in the roleplaying community. Not in the way you are trying to convey, per se. I understand that you would be glad if everyone dropped arguing about things like half-undead and holy dreadlords because some people roleplay those things. But as a matter of fact, they won't. Why? - Because they do not care. They won't care about the fact you are making this threat, they will not adapt their toxic behavior because some people are trying to be decent on the internet. And why exactly they don't care? - Anonymity. Whatever you say here, the worst repercussion will be getting banned. Not such a big deal in the bigger picture. People here can and will be as vile as possible because that's simply in our nature. They don't feel the need to repress their opinions or formulate them in a way that's not insulting to other people. After all, you won't lose your job for shit-talking someone online on a private RP server.

    While the idea of live and let live is something I would adore to see, I know 100% that it won't happen. So long as people have things to bitch about, they will. Regardless of that, I'm really glad there are also people who try to remain decent online.

    Patch Update

    Hello, everyone. This my first WoW patch ever made. It features several recolors of the Ebon Blade Tabard and two recolors of the Scourgelord sets, also three new colors for the @Mordred  Cloak Patch, which must be downloaded separately from his topic in order for this to work. The Scourgelord sets are made in Green/Purple version and Black/Red version as seen below. The Ebon Blade Tabards are in the colors of the traditional three specs. Blood, Unholy and Frost. The capes themselves are red/silver, green/silver and purple/silver in colors. You can check out how this looks in the spoiler. The items in this patch replace some of T2.5 (Nobody wears that shit) and Vanilla questing gear. I might add more recolors depending on how popular the patch is and how demanded they are.

    Update: Added another Scourgelord recolor in Purple/Green color, two requested Cataclysmic Gladiator Helmet recolors and four Runeblades.

    Simply drag and drop the Item folder into your main WoW folder. It shouldn't interfere with any patches I know of, but if it gives you the option to replace files, then do it.
