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

Thanks! I agree in retrospect, 4 and 5 are better if reversed.

Sooo . . . has the Sisters of Silence track been ignored because you can't buy boxes of them to play or because my ranks need some work? Some feedback would be appreciated, Yakster.

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.


Thanks again for the contribution!

Thank you much for your comments. I would be happy to work on any of it if it needs further tweaking.

I buckled down and got two new suggested rank tracks added:

[40K] Orks - Rebel Grots

&

[LOTR] Angmar


Thanks again for the suggestions!

The Space Wolves Track has an error.

There is no such thing as a Space Wolves Chapter Master! D:

That is a pretty big disappointment, to get that many posts and not have WOLF LORD under your name. Please fix that up as soon as possible (seems like a small thing, I know, if you don't play SW). Honestly, a lot of the tracks could use a bit of a brush up. I'm not a huge fan of the Eldar tracks, which seem pretty bland. I'll gladly volunteer if you want anything spruced up.

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.

You could possibly put "model" on the end of many of these to make the track clearer.

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.

Personally I think the Eldar Aspect Warrior one is kind of stupid but I would feel bad if I said anything.

I know it was literally forever ago at this point, but whatever happened to the Space Marines - Salamanders rank track I submitted?

It occurred to me that Specialist Games are being overlooked in the rank tracks in a commensurate way to how they are overlooked by GW. Though I can't really help with BFG or Mordheim I can, at least, try to offer up something for the Hive Heads amongst us. Let's see how this flies, Orville.

Feel free to comment =)

I recently got an upgrade in my rank!

However, I'm using the VC track, and now I'm a "Deadly Black Guard". I double checked, and I'm definately still on the VC track, but Black Guard is DE...

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.

Still no Sisters of Silence?

Anyone for a little Corsair Eldar?

Rebellious Rabble Rouser
Crewman

Marauder

Fleet Commander
Captain of the Corsairs

On the Path of the Guard track there is an entry for "Agile Renevant Titan." This should be Revenant, I'm certain. Please correct when you have the chance.

lol! Yes, it should be revenant, not revenant titan as those are eldar gargantuous creatures (i think).
