Colour me interested. Will most likely play a Tindrel, maybe write up a faction sheet for some kind of Tindrel Black Panther-esque group. I doubt the abolition of slavery came with total social outlook change towards the insect people

Great! I'm just trying to find the old picture i used for the Tindrel. It was absolutely perfect and i can't settle for any substitutes.

How insecty is it?

[Cath]

Quite insecty. Greenish grey, four to six arms, angular head.

In other news, i'm overhauling BESC's armory and vehicle base because last time they had a lot of outdated tech. Going to bring them right back up to speed. Can anyone think of a name for these two desert vehicles?

[guyvolk]

Suggestions:
Top- Sidewinder
Bottom- Camel

[Cath]

I thought of Camel too! Why'd you say Sidewinder? Out of interest, it's a good name.

[SIngemeister]

Tindrels wouldn't happen to look like this, would they?



Just a guess, based on you using fightPunch's art.

[Cath]

No, they stand on four legs (think table legs) and have a long thin upright body with four long arms ending in spindly fingers. I will find it if it kills me. That's an interesting piece of concept art though!

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

I'm going to update the armory of the Knight's Holy Cross, aswell.

Sidewinder is a nickname for a type of desert snake that moves across the sand by a sort of s shaped slide that goes sideways hence the name

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

I think Elephant would be a better name, since it's large and stompy.

Oooh, interesting! I didn't know that before, nice!

That is a good name too! It does have very specific connotations for me however...

[SIngemeister]

Looks more like a warthog.

Chupacabre? Is that how you spell it?
My hesitation with naming the vehicles after Earth animals is the issue that Outremer is a long way from Earth. It's also way into the future, so certain animals from Earth may have died out or never been heard of by the colonists. :( We should probably go for another naming scheme.

I vote for Volk's name for top: Sidewinder
Bottom: Landstalker

It's not a very stalky thing. More of a cruiser or a roller.

Halo Reference <3

And you could simply have more 'official' names for them.. Like Babylon All Terrain Assault Vehicle (BATAV), maybe Bat as a nickname? May be a bit less fun naming-wise, but could sound kinda impressive :P

[SIngemeister]

Chug-a-lug? Gallumph? Bigrig?

[Maxxorlord]

I find this to be a rather interesting thing you're developing here! I shall keep an eye on this one..

For now, however, I shall leave a flag here, simply because I can, and I will return at a later date.
