Warhammer 40,000 TD with leveling hero towers!!

[Ralle]

Hello everyone!
I would like you to give me ideas for hero towers for each of the warhammer races. Everything: icons, spells, models, stats is welcomed.

Thanks!

 

[The_Taxidermist]

Get out a rulebook, or look one up online, and make every HQ unit a hero tower. Then perhaps look at their special rules to get an idea of the abilities you could give them. I think that would tie the game in more with the actuall 40K series

 

[Ralle]

I have actually never gotten any of the information myself.
Maybe I should make the original super towers heros.

Or I will make teza89 do it..

 

[Flayl]

Well for starters you can use heroes that are in Winter Assault (and remove them from the normal towers), 2 heroes per race:
Orkz: Big Mek, Warboss
Space marines: Force Commander, Chaplain
Chaos: Chaos Lord, Sorcerer
Eldar: Farseer, Seer Council
Imperial Guard: Psyker, Priest

 

[dragonmage1703]

Get a codex of most races, and adapt their stats to what they are in there (including upgrades that you can choose and stuff)
That would be sweet.

TAU : O'Shova & Aun'shi

 

[v3ck]

Hate me if you want for saying this: heroes are lame, overused in custom games, and do not belong in Warhammer 40K TD.

 

[Ralle]

@V3ck would you also hate them if I told you they are slow-leveling and towers whick means they can't move??

Necron:C'tan The Nightbringer
C'tan The Deceiver

i think the deceiver (like he is atm)must stay but with another name.(for example Lord)

€:look here for the other races: http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=List_Models&code=10&orignav=10

 

[Flayl]

I think C'Tan's should stay as a super unit, they are a LOT more powerful than commanders

 

[Robi]

hmmm yes u are right then take lord and destroyer lord

 

[Ralle]

destroyer lord???
whos that?

 

[Robi]

a lord with the corpus(?) of a destroyer: http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=99140110016&orignav=10

 

[Ralle]

So I would have to make a new unit? OK.. can you make a list? a list of all the ideas you like, the untis etc..

 

[Robi]

i think 1herotower per race is enough(for the time being)
List:
Imperial Guards:Ursarkar Creed and Jerran Kell (one unit)
Chaos Khorne:Kharn the Betrayer
Chaos Nurgle:Chaos Lord Typhus, Herald of Nurgle
Chaos Slaanesh:Emperor's Children Lord
Chaos Tzeentch:Ahriman of the Thousand Sons
Dark Eldar:Asdrubael Vect
Eldar: The seven Lords (i didnt know which one i should take)
Necronestroyer Lord
Ork:Mad Dok Grotsnik (changed)
Space Marines:Blood Angels Commander Dante (thought Blood Angels are the most important)
Tau:Aun'shi
Tyranids: Dominatrix (thx v3ck)

ralle all ideas are good but i think u should wait with new races and more levels cause first u should improve the actual races then in the version after the next one u should think about more levels and after that at a new race but the thing with the obliterator should be made fast cause for its money it s not very good.

Yours
Robi

 

[Ralle]

Okay. But what's wrong except Obliterators?

 

[Robi]

i dont know but ill see that i test all the races at least one or two times and ill say u which units i think are really under/overpowered.

 

[Ralle]

Okay! thank you!

 

[Healingpoison]

What we reallly need to do is put together a team of people up to the task, and divide them into smaller groups and have each group work on a different race.

 

[Ralle]

yes that would be cool!

 

[Robi]

btw i changed something in the list and i need a name for the herotower of the tyranids.

Yours
Robi

 

[Healingpoison]

I could work on the Imperial Guard tower.

 

[v3ck]

Tyranid tower can be Dominatrix.

 

[Flayl]

I wanna do da towa' fer da Boyz! Dis towa' gonna be da meenest an' tuffest der iz!

=P

 

[Ralle]

Abilities:
Ability A: name, spell etc..
Ability B.
...

Damage
Cowlibob
Sweden
etc..

 

[Flayl]

den rite bout ow de tower should be. Like

Cowlibob
Sweden
etc..

Does that mean 2 abilities or more?

 

[v3ck]

Tyranid Dominatrix is here.

 

[Ralle]

Tyranid Dominatrix is here.

I think four is a suitable amount

 

[Ralle]

Tyranid Dominatrix is here.

I think four is a suitable amount

what precisely is a gaunt?

 

[The_Taxidermist]

A gaunt. is the basic troop genome for the tyranid army. Its basically a termagant, but can be mutated into a wide assortment of different creatures, capable of different killing tasks.

Hormagaunts, termagants and gargoyles are all pre made gaunt types, using the rules in the tyranid codex you could come up with all kinds of variations.

I would be very impressed if you made a series of upgrades for gaunt units mimicing this process

 

[Ralle]

yeh. It just sounds very comprehensive but one day, I will do it.

 

[v3ck]

I think four is a suitable amount

Yeah, I figured it would be like the in-game heroes.

 

[ihateschool]

I think u should just get us to vote which heros would be best for each race and then go with the majority.

 

[dragonmage1703]

i got some ideas for ya on how to do aun'shi:

Cost: 200-500 more than O'shava
Melee - ground only - fast attacker - 1500 sumthing DMG -
(Stun or slow poison)

Is a heavy duty booster.
(like the deciever but then TAU'ified) (Tau only)
(like Big range ,attack speed and damage boosts)

 

[Ralle]

hmm
ground only would be the only unit in the game :S

 

[Robi]

a ground only unit is bad because you will base your maze on your best tower and if it cant attack air you wont have many chances against air. btw i would say that you can build the hero tower very cheap and that it will get MUCH better in the later game if u can first build it with so much money it isnt so useful. i d also say that you can sell the tower every time and build it very fast again (for no gold) but it must be another unit of you near it ( because if this isnt some people would sell and build it to steal)that with the sellthing dont have to be but i think it would be usefull.

Robi

 

[dragonmage1703]

the tradeoff for air is the ginormous boosts is gives the other towers.

 

[Robi]

no it is no complain between a heavy booster and attacker and a unit which is only a heavy booster so you really WILL have a problem when u base your maze on aun'shi.(only if it gives special boostes for air then not)

yours
Robi

 

[dragonmage1703]

well there ya go then ^-^
ya just solved the issue, extra + special bonisses against air.
problem solved. ^-^

 

[Robi]

ok thats a solution
