If you've ever read a 40k novel then you know how important taking the head from a particularly dangerous foe that has been slain in single combat is to the warrior who did the deed. I was wondering if something like this would be a worth while addition to the game. For example, in Battlefield 3 when performing an execution by knifing an enemy from behind you take his personalized dog tag and it gets added to a screen full of all of the tags you've taken from executed enemies. Maybe slaying a higher class enemy hero gives you a skull in your ship quarters or something like that. Any other ideas?
This is a game, man. You'll be slaying foes left and right and heads aren't as light as dog tags. Imagine going on a 12-kill streak and then tripping over because you hare loaded down with too many craniums. I think you should only be allowed to take a trophy off of a really big or dangerous enemy, like a Waaaghboss or a Spacey Captain. Everything else goes to notches on your gun or weapon.
O Of course you wouldn't be taking a head off of everyone you killed that's why I mentioned being able to take something after killing an enemy hero or something
This is a good idea. I think maybe for the equivalent of 'HQ choices' you would get a battle trophy but everything else gives you points to unlock customisation.
