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.

    The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

    With how popular War of the Rings might potentially be, it might not be a bad idea.

    Allegiance names as dictated by GW:
    GOOD
    Arnor
    Gondor
    The Kingdoms of Rohan
    The Elven Kingdoms
    The Dwarf Holds
    The Forgotten Kingdoms

    EVIL
    Mordor
    The Fortress of Isengard
    The Misty Mountains
    The Fallen realms (of which harad is one of many)
    Angmar

    Here is my take on the Angmar ranks:


    Edit: Angmar ranks removed as they have now been posted as a rank track on the site. --yakface

    Wait, we don't have a Catachan one?

    1. Doomed Deathworld Citizen
    2. Very Visible Catachan Conscript
    3. Sneaky Catachan with flashlight
    4. Yeehaw! Crazy Catachan drop trooper
    5. Manly Catachan heavy weapon trooper
    6. Pyromaniac Catachan with flamethrower
    7. Ruthless Catachan sniper
    8. Steroid-abusing Catachan Veteran

    I think that's an OK start. The last one on the list must be Rambo though.

    People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

    These may need a few things taken out. I could also do a British rank system and I could see if the Russians even have the same rank system in place.

    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.

    Nice Horus Heresy ones Manchu, the "Member of the Lodge. I cant say" was the best lol.

    Maybe 4 and 5 of the Horus heresy should be swapped round, just a thought.

    Anyone who's interested in making a variation of an existing rank (like a Catachan rank for the IG) just send me a PM and I'll privately send you a list of the ranks for the base track you're spinning off from.

    Is there any way to go back and see what the options were for other rank tracks once you've passed them? If I did a SM rank track, and have passed a couple of milestones, is there any way to see what the milestones were up to that point for the other rank tracks, like Eldar or Chaos?

    Nothing worth winning ever came easy.
