Should there be an outcast sub-faction for all races

  1. Yes

    42.1%
  2. No

    57.9%
    • they keep the lore
    • give an alternate way for orks to fight orks
    • shows what is bad even by orkie standard
    The Freebooter concept is good as-well, not just for the orks, but all races to have sub-factions of themselves they must fight against besides just themselves and other races.
    • show interracial warfare
    • inter clan, chapter warfare,
    • interfaction warfare
    Sub-factions in Eternal Crusade fight all races, not just the one they are agianst primarily.
    It is a kind of Good Vs Bad Scenario
    Eldar vs Dark Eldar
    Spacemarine Vs Chaos
    Guardsmen Vs Cultist
    Ork Vs Freebooter
    Tyrandis Vs Everything
    ^^^^^^^^^< these are jsut sort of example of the system I mean to speak of.

    A better example of inter-Ork warfare would be the Blood Axes. Freebooterz are more space pirates and, as such, rarely, if ever, actually make it to the ground. DoW II's Orky campaign was atypical of most Freebooter behavior (keep in mind they didn't have a ship to fly off in).
    razziez likes this.
  2. well, I mean for their to be both of course, it is just, I would like the ability to be a freebooter. I intend to have a guild/strike force of freebooters.

    I'm sure you can name your strike force Freebooterz, but the issue is that the Freebooterz Orkz are mostly about space combat and piracy, not conquering the galaxy. They'd be ill-suited to Eternal Crusade.
  4. I think if you run a group of teamkillers you probably wont be too popular.

    I think your idea Razziez is an interesting one. It could even work for Space marines with the Marines malevolent and other factions I am sure. A faction that isn't Chaos, but doesn't exactly follow the rules/norms of their original group.
  6. ill suited mayby, but a part of the universe they are and should be in the game. I plan to rage Waaaggghhh! on all who are not in my freebooter strike-force.

    Again, this role for the Orkz would be better filled by the Blood Axes, especially for a game like Eternal Crusade.

    ;) relax Matobar. No where did I state it should be Freebooterz.
  9. I do see you point though, how a sub-faction no, strike-force yes. I would like items that a traitorous type of quest line or item to help kill your own race. Chaos in in all, not just humies, space humies and Eldar.
