If you haven't noticed Dakka now has army rank tracks that users can select to display their post count ranking in the theme of their favorite army (or other miniature game related category).
If you'd like to come up with a new rank track, especially for a niche army type that hasn't gotten one yet, this thread is the place to post your list of ranks.
Here are the rules:
Each rank track must contain between 15-20 individual ranks.
In general the first four ranks in the track should be "newbie" ranks with the fifth rank being the standard trooper in the army (like a Space Marine).
The last 1-2 ranks in each track should be a fun little surprise for anyone who reaches that level, not just the highest possible position in that organization. References to out-of-print games or miniatures or little known fictional references are all great ideas for the last couple of ranks. When posting these last two ranks, use the "spoiler" code to obscure them (or send them directly to me via PM) so they'll be kind of a surprise when someone finally reaches that rank.
Try to use clever descriptive terms along with your ranks to spice things up a bit. Instead of just having "Space Marine" as a rank, make it something like "Stalwart Space Marine" which really evokes a mental image about that rank.
Remember when writing your ranks that others are only going to see one rank at a time, so always take the extra step to make sure that others will be able to have some idea of what rank track a user is on even when only seeing a single rank from your track. For example, instead of having a rank that just says "Angry Cultist" (which could be any kind of cultist), you should call it "Angry Chaos Cultist" as that will inform other users that the rank track this person is on is some sort of Chaos rank track.
Finally, be aware that your submissions can (and probably will) be accepted and/or edited at my whim. I may like every single rank in your track and I may take them all, but at the same time I may feel like we've got an existing rank track that already covers the same ground you have. So please don't take it personally if your submission isn't used or ends up edited.
Do not bother to include at which post count you think your ranks should apply at. . .I will take care of making those decisions. As for exactly when and how often ranks increase on Dakka, that's a little bit of a secret and varies from rank track to rank track in order to make sure that users don't just make posts trying to reach their next rank level. Although you can safely assume that most major round numbers are likely candidates (like 100, 500, 1,000 posts, etc).
That's about it, and thanks for your help!

You need to go into your profile page and choose the rank track drop down menu to see the full list of available rank tracks.
We're pretty good off right now on all the basics for 40K, WHFB, Hordes & Warmachine. The Inquisitor tracks were probably the last major ones missing from 40K.
There's still room to create flavor rank tracks like the particular Eldar Craftworlds or famous IG regiments (like Catachans).
If you're interested in doing any offshoots like these of existing tracks let me know and I'll PM you most of the ranks for the basic Eldar or IG tracks (for example) so you can make your rank tracks similar in nature.
Or if you want to go crazy with other games, feel free! AT-43 factions, Battletech, Battlefleet Gothic, Necromunda, etc.

So to find out the top rank of a faction, someone would have to reach it and not become a DCM?

DCM status allows you to choose a custom rank, but you can still keep the old rankings if you enjoy seeing them grow and change.

So I finally got around to adding the 'Lost and the Damned' and Lord of the Rings 'Harad' rank tracks that were submitted.
Great job guys, thanks for the submissions! I'd love to see more LOTR rank tracks.

The problem with this rank track (and its the same issue I'm having with Chaos Daemons) is that each type of Assassin is really equal to another type of Assassin, just a different type. So no one knows looking at your rank whether a 'Callidus' is higher up than an 'Eversor'.
The same is true of Chaos Daemons as (personal preferences aside) any lesser daemon is really the equal of any other lesser daemon.
That means, in order to make a rank track that actually seems to progress for the user in a intuitive way, you really have to stick with one discipline the whole way (such as an all Callidus rank track or an all Khorne Daemon rank track). Unfortunately, I just don't think there are enough unique ranks to fill up a whole rank track under those stricter confines.

It's a great start, but we need at least 15 ranks for a rank track. I don't know WHFB or wood elves very well or I'd try to fill it in for you, so if you can come up with a few more I'll add it in.

That's a great start and I want to include this rank track, but it needs to be cleaned up a bit before I can use it. Sadly I don't know all that much about the Chaos Dwarves or else I would just take your suggestions and edit it myself.
First of all, you don't need to put post numbers by the ranks, we take care of that computation.
Second, the maximum number of ranks for Dakka's rank tracks is twenty, so you need to cut this down to the twenty essential ranks.
Third, many of the ranks when seen out of context don't explain what rank track they are for. For example, if you see someone in the forums with the rank of "immortal" do you have any idea what that is? A Necron immortal? So you always need to include something like "Chaos Dwarf Immortal" so that it is clear which army track someone is on.
Finally, please make sure that the signature rank of the army is around the fifth rank. We don't want people to have to be a 'slave' of some sort until they reach 500 posts. I know Chaos Dwarves use a lot of slaves, but you're going to have to cut that beginning down so that people can actually reach a rank that involves them being a Chaos Dwarf instead of slogging through 9 slave ranks before they reach the earthshaker crewman rank.
Anyway, thanks again for your submission and I hope you can find the time to make me an edited version.

It is a good start, but again, I can't really use it as is.
You DON'T need to include the post numbers, I take care of that.
Second, the biggest issue you have is repetition. You need to cut out any of the duplicates. There should only be one Hafling Treasure Hunter rank, one Halfling Mercenary rank, etc.
I don't know if that will leave you with at least 15 ranks, but its not very exciting for people to wait 1,000 posts just to upgrade their weapons without actually changing their status.
I'm not sure there are enough Halfling unit types to pull it off but if you can make it happen I'll include it.

It's a secret. We want you to have some fun and be surprised when you reach a new rank.
Knowing exactly when the next rank is only encourages people to spam post in order to reach the next rank, so we mix it up a bit depending on the rank track you're on.

We already have a USA and German rank track for Flames of War (look for the ' FOW' rank tracks in the list).
If you wanted to add a russian or british rank track that would be great.
I can even PM you the American and German versions so that you can make them roughly equal.

Both your Sisters of Silence and Horus Heresy rank tracks look good to me. I'm planning on adding them when I get the chance, the problem is creating the rank track takes a little bit of time, so I keep putting them off to finish other chores instead.
But yes, the plan is to definitely implement them eventually.

Okay, I've fixed the Space Wolves Chapter Master.
As for the Eldar, I'd be glad to PM them to you if you'd like, but I think you'd be surprised how hard it is to do Eldar rank tracks because there isn't really a clear progression of 'ranks' through all the Aspects. So if you have the Aspects as part of the track you either just have to go with 'Aspect Warrior' as one rank because if you start to include them all you end up with way too many ranks.
Ultimately I decided just to split them into the 'path of the guardian' which follows a pretty basic progression from lowly grunt up to an Eldar Seer and a 2nd track that is the 'path of the aspect warrior', which like the aspects just sort of meanders through all the different aspects for the most part (but does eventually reach Autarch).
But if you think you can come up with a better way to handle the Eldar ranks. . .perhaps splitting them up into the famous Craftworlds which tend to be more focused, then I would be happy to send you the current ranks if it would help.

this track goes through all the stages of a spacemarines career, including his inclusion into the lowest and highest orders. (servitors have been thrown in for effect)
I'd suggest each major upgrade every 30-50 posts (i.e; scout marine to space marine assault marine.)
in this way, it'd be able to carry to around a thousand posts before you complete the track.

I'm not that familiar with WHFB, and someone else submitted most of those tracks, so I'm not sure if I duffed that one up or not (or if it used to be a unit in the army or something).
But anyway, I think that Grave Guard is what it probably should be, so I've changed it.

How about a Mordor rank list for LOTR? Now, while I don't play the games, I've invested some time into reading the stuff (not nearly as much as others have though, I suspect...). Something like:
1: Maggot food
2: Maggot
3: Weakling cowering in the shadows
4: Goblin Trembling before the whip
5: Orc Meatbag
6: Orc Archer
7: Orc Veteran with club
8: Hardened Orc Veteran with scimitar
9: Orc taskmaster
10: Olog-hai brute
11: Olog-hai veteran with warhammer
12: Overlord of the Olog-hai
13: Dark Númenorean
14:Cave-troll being fed
15: King of the Trolls
16: Fast-flying fellowship-stalking Fellbeast
17: Lesser Ringwraith
18: Nasty Nazgûl
19: Witch-King of Angmar with Iron Crown
Could have one for followers of Morgoth too, although I don't think that's in the game:
1: Betraying ladybug
2: Carrion Bird
3: Pathetic traitor-human
4: Evil Acolyte making nasty plots
5: One of many Orcs
6: Bludgeon-wielding brutish Orc
7: Black-Orc with falchion
8: Treasonous Traitor-man
9: Smoke-summoning Sorcerer
10: Mischievous Monster
11: Lesser flame-belching spawn
12: Kin-slaying betrayer of Gondolin

This would be awesome. Also I actually LOL'd at the last one about exterminatus to spare. Here are my thoughts as I read through the list:
"Lightning Fast" is definitely the best one for interceptors.
"Purgator with Incinerator" sounds better than "Incinerating Purgator".
"Vengeful" is the best terminator option.
I feel like the Paladin one should be above the dreadnought one. "Venerated" also sounds better than the other ones.
The Dreadknight one should have a heavy psycannon, as most people don't really like gatling psilencers haha ("towering" also sounds better than "wrathful").
I think I like "shrouding" instead of "smiting" for the librarian one.
Definitely keep the "Grand Master with Exterminatus to Spare!"
Hope this gets added!

Just had an unusual idea, based off of the GW design studio track.
The Dakka track of Infamy. Basically, we collect all of Dakka's favorite users and list them, based off of post count.
Okay, I can see this being difficult and unlikely, but it's just an odd idea that I felt was worth sharing.

But then we'd have several Marbos running aroung the place. Or not, seeing as so few people post that much. Still, it's not very exciting for someone who's posted 13 billion times to get a ranking that they could have predicted themeselves.

I'd like to do several for every LOTR army, since there is only 2 at the moment.
There is still too much repetition in the list. There are still two archer ranks, for example. I don't know enough about LOTOR to really suggest what should be done, but if there aren't enough ranks to do a stand-alone Minis-Tirith list, I'd strongly suggest ditching it and just going with a general Gondor rank track that would allow you to bring in more colorful ranks into the mix as well.
Also, call me crazy, but shouldn't there be Knights of Dol Amroth in there, or are those not technically part of Minas-Tirith? And I'd generally think that being a Knight, horn blower, captain, etc, should be way above manning a trebuchet & bolt thrower. I'd think that those two ranks should probably be moved way down (but that's just my opinion).
Finally, please remember that ranks 1-4 should be the newbie ranks and rank #5 should be the 'standard' rank for the force. Does a Veteran Archer really represent the base rank for Gondor?

Well, I went ahead and added a Grey Knight rank track.
I actually didn't end up using a ton of your list because it didn't really fit quite so well with the rest of the Space Marine rank tracks (in terms of comparable ranks at roughly the same levels)...yours also had a few repetitious ranks (like 3 Terminator ranks just with different armaments, for example).
But some of your ranks did make it in there and certainly without your inspiration I never would have done it on my own, so thanks so much for the submission!

I feel there's a need for a new Dark Eldar rank track, as the newer book has existed for a while. In fact there could even be three (kabal, wych cult, haemonculi coven), but I only feel for doing the first. Here goes:
Dark Eldar: Kabalite
1 - Sad Chained Slave
2 - City-bound Peer
3 - Kabalite Conscript
4 - Ruthless Warrior willing to kill
5 - Sybarite with Painful Equipment
6 - Raider Rider
7 - Kabalite Blasterborn
8 - Man-eating Mandrake
9 - Scourge delivering Loveletter

Yeah. It has to be between 15-20 ranks. The Kabalite rank path was great because it fit that profile. Also it didnt repeat names. Try not to repeat names such as "Space Marine Sargeant with a powerfist" and "Space Marine Seargeant with Thunder Hammer" Make them inventive

There are a few of us now think we deserve a ranking track as the MOD fanboys, I'll work on the tracking names, if you could make this happen?

I would love to see a Carcharodons track, also it should be changed so that if we pass a rank that we like, we should be able to go back to it.

I have seen it and it is something that looks good enough to add. It just takes me a while to add a new rank track, so I always put it off until I have some time to sit down and do it, and that typically just keeps getting pushed back and back and back.
Can you just double check every individual rank and make sure that seen on their own (without the rest of the rank track) you can petty much tell what rank track a person is on just by seeing that one individual rank? Stuff like 'Pin-Point Barrier Jockey'...is that a unique Robotech name of a robot or something?
If you can just make sure every individual rank on its own makes it clear what rank track it is on, then it should be good.
I guess another question...are Destroids the bad guys? Or some kind of craft? Is this like a mixed track where you have both the Zentradi and Macross ranks mixed in together?

Or some kind of craft? Is this like a mixed track where you have both the Zentradi and Macross ranks mixed in together? They're all robotech unique for the main "good guy" human faction in the most popular era. I had initially thought of adding in zentraedi alien ranks but it felt odd seeing most of them in there (like having an eldar rank pop up in a mainly IG and space marine themed track). If this one track became popular after the end of the kickstarter, I figured I'd make a combined alien track (with all 3 alien ranks in one track) for Robotech as well. I can make them a bit clearer if you don't think they'll be too many characters (I was worried about hitting some sort of max # of characters limit possibly). The pin point barrier (I threw in "jockey" for humor instead of crewman) is a trackball controlled pong-like shield system on the main ship in robotech so should be recognizable to fans and Destroid is the general term for the human non-transformable mech. I never realized it since I've been familiar with the term for decades but destroid does indeed sound quite evil. A pinpoint barrier system technician at work during an attack I'll ask Manchu to take a peek and see if he can make sense of them as he's a fan as well to make sure it's not too insular (Alpharius is in the kickstarter as well but isn't familiar with the background). In the meantime, I'll add in some more descriptive terms to make them more recognizable.

Post by: Manchu
Och, sorry I'm so late on this, clean slipped my mind. So first off I like the idea of having a Robotech rank track. But I'd suggest going with your original thought and keeping all allusions to both of the Macross Saga factions. Also, because this is nothing close to a Robotech fan site, I'd suggest making each rank obviously related to Robotech. The trackball jockey is humorous for a fan but User 529367401 won't get the reference when he sees it under another user's name or under his own. Finally, I think you shouldn't mix your metaphors (regarding the "red shirt" one). Let me know if you'd like help revamping the current list.

Post by: warboss
No worries and thanks for the help. After chatting with Manchu via PM I've come up with the following final list for the first Robotech track. If the game gets really popular and lots of people use the track, I'll make some more as needed (starting with the Zentraedi and likely combined human/alien tracks for Southern Cross and New Generation).
Scared Minmei Fan Club Member
Intrepid Macross Business Owner
Cocky Macross City Mayor
Shocked Micronized Zentraedi Spy
Raw SDF-1 Recruit
Expendable Defender Destroid Rookie
Inexperienced VF-1A Valkyrie Brownie
Innocent SDF-1 Bridge Bunny

Capable VF-1J Valkyrie Junior Officer
Skilled SDF-1 Pin-Point Barrier Jockey
Grizzled MkII Monster Veteran
Confident VF-1S Valkyrie Squadron Commander
Inspiring SDF-1 Bridge Officer
Dashing Super Valkyrie Flying Ace
Stoic Super Dimensional Captain
*secret* no change from the PM
*secret* no change from the PM
If you've already started programming the previous list, Yakface, no worries as I'm ultimately fine with both. Thanks for all the help and I look forward to the new track!

The problem with something like this is its almost impossible for someone to have any idea what rank is higher than the other (or to know what rank track you're on based on looking at only a single rank).
While we do currently have some other rank tracks that suffer from this problem (grognard, etc), its probably best not too add more. So any new rank tracks added do need to have a very clear progression in the 'outside world' (known outside of the rank track) that people can have some expectation what ranks are higher than others and what the rank track is based on looking at each individual rank.

Hello, I noticed that nobody has made one of these rank track thingamajigs for the Warmachine Convergence of Cyriss yet.
First time suggesting one, I hope I followed the right protocols. I tried to make "bands" of 3 or so ranks that were all about the same unit type (infantry, light warjacks, heavy warjacks) so that you can generally tell how experienced a poster is even if you don't know exactly how he stands in each band.
1 Malfunctioning permutation servitor
2 Reflex servitor, boom!
3 Clockwork vessel awaiting a body
4 Devotee of Cyriss
5 Obstructer in shield wall
6 Reciprocating reciprocator
7 Optifex with a tuning fork
8 Diving clockwork angel
9 Diligent Galvanizer repair crew
10 Diffuser building synergy
11 Corollary with a hot induction node
12 Monitor on rapid fire
13 Charging Inverter at 3 focus
14 Mysterious enigma foundry
15 Prime Axiom with weapon platform

Not a suggestion but the first/second rank in angmar is:Cardashian(or something similar) thrall.I'm a lotr fan and have no clue what that is.Is it a mistake?

Post by: dementedwombat
Wow, I just remembered that I posted a CoC track in here. anybody else have anything to say about that? Just a random suggestion, the convergence really seem to like prime numbers, so making at least some of the ranks trigger on primes might be a cool idea.

I'd like to suggest this as a Salamanders rank track:
1.Ignorant Ignean, frightened of Khessargaroth
2.Desert Running Dune Dweller, fleeing from the Dusk Wraiths
3.Towering Themis Warrior Kin
4.Sun Seared Salamander Scout
5.Brander Burnt Devastator
6.Incandesantly Aflame Assault Marine
7.Aspiring Artificer, making magma with a melta
8.Obsidian Skinned Space Marine
9.Scorched Salamander Sergeant
10.Blazing Badab War Veteran
11.Fierce Firedrake, whipping up an inferno
12.Thunder Hammer thrashing Veteran Sergeant.
13.Honoured Guest of the Pantheon
14.Combusting Salamanders Captain, causing a conflagration
15.Lord of the Burning Skies
16.Fiery Forgefather, Hunting the Nine
17.Reigning Regent of Prometheus
I'm pretty pleased with most of them (At least as a Salamanders fan ), especially No. 19 but I'll point out:
7. May be a bit vague, or at least people may not recognise it as a Salamander rank.
12. Again, a touch vague
18. Only those who have read the Salamanders trilogy will pick up on it, but I suppose the surprise ranks are intended to be like that.
In any case, I guess if you've selected this as a rank track, then you're gonna have a pretty decent idea of what's going on
Anyway, any queries or if you'd like anything/the whole thing re-written then just PM me and I'll set to.

Yak and Lego are both immensely busy guys, this is there hobby remember, they have full time jobs and lives to live on top of that. Don't worry they'll check in when they can. Plus I think it's mainly yak who deals with this stuff and he has hell of a lot on at work right now so it'll be a while. Patience is a virtue!

Of course, I completely understand that Yak and Lego are busy, my pestering was really just aimed at admins in general as I thought that there would maybe be a group who dealt with this kind of thing, not just Yak alone. I hope I didn't come across as too pushy as I certainly didn't think that my suggestion would be instantly accepted - I was more just looking for someone to take a look and say 'Yeah, we'll get back to you on that one'. Thanks for the heads up and again - apologies

Don't worry about it, it was just so you knew the situation and weren't anxiously awaiting a response. Yak and Lego are the owners and the only two Admin. And as I said, incredibly busy, this sort of stuff is really bottom of the pile on the to do lists.

Would be great to get some AvP rank tracks when the Alien vs Predator Miniatures Game comes out. Aliens especially would have a lot to work with, although the Marines and Predators might be a tad limited.
I might go off and write up some rank tracks for them and post them here soon.
Off the top of my head, an Alien track (with some marines thrown in) could go something like:
- Slime-soaked Alien Egg
- [something] Facehugger (alternately: Face-Hugging Alien Wing Wong)
- Gestating Parasitoid
- Chest-Chomping Chestburster
- Inscrutable Infant Alien
- Sinister Stalker Alien
- Vicious Alien Warrior
- Ferocious PredAlien
- Charging Crusher
- Raging Royal Guard
- Alien Queen
- Private Hudson
- Private Vasquez
- Corporal Hicks
- Jonesy
- Lt. Ellen Ripley

All kidding aside, I think your Malifaux tracks will get added, it is just that the guy(s) who can do it is busy and maybe hasn't looked here in a while?

The concept I was going for (even tho I may have presented it horribly) is: Rank is done by the skill of the performer and each rank is a type of Performance art or a well known performing name "phantom of the Opera" etc. The highest ranks pre-spoilers are the well known Harlequin Units

It may need a few tweaks and ranks swutch around, but I feel that it gives a good basis. One problem with this is that it takes away from the tyranid rank track, which has similar ranks. I did try to make the ranks different with the adjectives/descriptions and whatnot.

Two questions;
how come you don't have a Kharadron Overlords rank track here, and would you object to my suggestions for one?

I was redirected here for developing / proposing a Ranking Track for Kingdom Death. It looks like 16-20 is the preferred total number of titles, yes? How about this: Kingdom Death Ranking Track 1. Underfoot Vermin 2. New Child Survivor 3. Inexperienced Young Survivor 4. Hardy Survivor 5. Grizzled Old Survivor 6. Hopeful Savior 7. Furious White Lion 8. Screaming Antelope 9. Forsaken Butcher 10. Avenging White Speaker 11. Shadowy Twilight Knight 12. Wandering Gorm 13. Nebulous Phoenix 14. Mysterious Watcher 15. Gold Smoke Knight 16. Imposing Dragon King Does that work?

Any idea if/when other tracks would be added? Just curious. Thanks!

Overall, it looks really solid. Comments below:
1) My first thought was that since the Genestealers are kind of unique, in that they implant their hosts and spawn from there, it could be fun to make the first few ranks humorously represent that, like having the first rank be 'Hapless Space Hulk Explorer', the second rank being something like 'Infected and Looking For a Mate'. This can be cool especially because the first few ranks can go by really, really quick for most people (because they're often just 0-10 posts for the first rank and 10-25 posts for the second rank). Of course, that would mean losing the Mindwyrm familiar (as it wouldn't 'fit' that early rank theme anymore) and some other rank as well to make space for those, so I will leave it up to you whether to start with the more straight forward ranks like you have, or something more humorous.
2) One of my main concerns with rank tracks is that each rank when seen by themselves (which is the only way people see them once they're implemented) can give some indication of what rank track people are on. I think you've done a really, really good job on that, especially because Genestealers have a lot of really unique names that apply only to their faction. So nothing on this front I'd recommend changing, just wanted to give you props.
3) Although I'm going to contradict this point in just a second, another major thing we want to try to do is to keep the ranks as short as humanly possible. Though I also don't want to lose any of the 'flavor' of the ranks either. What do you think about going with '1st', '2nd', '3rd' and so on, instead of 'first', 'second', 'third', etc, for the generation names? And what about ' Gen' instead of writing out 'generation' fully each time (so '1st Gen', '2nd Gen, etc)? Do you think that messes ''the feel' of the ranks up too much? It would definitely save quite a bit of characters to do it this way, so my inclination is to make this change.
4) For the most part, you've done a great job of making each rank have a nice little descriptive flair, like 'Secretive Sanctus', 'Nexos planning an uprising', etc. But there are a few which are just a plain name and nothing else. Many of these are quite long names, so I get maybe you were reluctant to add extra flair words to them. However, especially if we shorten 'first generation' down to '1st gen', it would make it easier to fit in some extra flair on these ranks?
1. Mindwyrm Familiar (assuming you decide to keep this rank and not replace it per my note #1 above)
3. Maelignaci First Generation Acolyte
4. Hybrid Second Generation Acolyte
15. Purestrain Fifth Generation Genestealer
5) The last 3 ranks, if at all possible, are supposed to be really cool easter eggs, either harkening back to old fluff or really old OOP miniatures. Currently, your last 3 ranks are just the top 3 ranks for the faction, without anything really cool or fun about them.
A couple things I can think of off the top of my head would be throwing back to the old Patriach miniature, so something like: 'Big Fat Patriach Sitting on a Throne'. It also could be fun to throw back to the original Genestealer design from Rogue Trader somehow, and how they just had a mouth for a face? Do you have the old Rogue Trader book to reference for this? And/or maybe have one of these final ranks reference back to Ymgarl (as the original Rogue Trader fluff said they were from there)?
Of course, if you feel like you need to keep any of the final ranks that are in the last 3 spots, you should not be afraid to cull a couple 'less important' ranks from the somewhere else in the rank track to make some space.

Ok, Genestealer Cult rank track has been added.
I ended up tweaking nearly every rank you suggested (sorry, I can't help myself), but your order of which ranks go in what order definitely made this possible (no way I could have done it without your help), so thanks!
