We're building a War40k game in the Real-Time Strategy genre and need some characters scripted to fit as a playable unit in the game.

The unit list compromises all of the Space Marine Deathwatch!

This includes Builders, Infantry+Sergeants, Commanders, and Vehicles!

Please PM me if you can offer your fluff/codex and writing knowledge/skills asap.

Thank you community!

You need more info...do you mean script like 5/6 repeated phrases (like in game dawn of war)? For cut scenes? If so, what is the story of your game? I think you need to specify what you are looking for a bit more mate. You'll get more (useful) responses that way.

Thanks Motyak..

Yes this is for a Real-Time Strategy like Dawn of War 1,2, or 50.

The scripts to be written are meant to be for general in-game use.. ie.. units gets built we need 7x Unit_Complete lines written. When unit is asked to attack something we need 7x Attack lines written.

Game takes place in the modern time period.

I helped with the World Eaters stuff back over on Filefront, will see if I can stoke the creative fire.

Fantastic, Pilau.. please send a PM my way asap and let me know where out of that above list you can assist.

Have you got any examples of other completed stuff or is it the same stuff that's being used in the DoW mods?

Some of it is being used in current mods right now. Depends on the team of course.

What chapter/Legion?

For the Space Marine units its purely generic as we'll likely have a few chapters field those assets and not just UM. The Eldar and Tau units will mostly be for any Craftworld/Caste respectively.

Alright, since most RTS' lines are short and sweet, I'll give you some Dev Sgt. Lines
Devastator Sergeant Attack Lines
"Bring it down brothers!"(when in range)
"Moving to engage" (when moving to engage enemy)
"Fire on my target!"
"Rain down the Emperors fury on the foul xenos/enemy"
"REARGH!!! (or whatever savage yell) *add shooting noises in background*"
"Suffer not the unclean to live!"
"Acquiring target"

Acknowledgement
"Devastator squad awaiting vox orders"
"The Machine spirits seek the blood of the unclean"
"Yes Captain?(or whatever faceless role the player takes)?"
"We await your orders"
"Devastator squad at the ready"
(everyones favorite click too many times and get funny/random remarks)
"Have you ever felt expendable captain?" (a nod to most dev sgt.s eating it first)
"DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!!"

I'll edit this later with more

@Wardragon.. fantastic thats a start!

Wow, do you have GW license, or is the game fan-made? Do you have a website or something? I haven't heard abuot it and I'm getting excited

I have some lines for Fire Raptor:

when selected:
*Awaitng for orders*
*Fire raptor reporting*
*The machine spirit is with us*
*Fire raptor gunship ready for orders*

when ordered to move:
*Departing at once*
*We shall cut through the skies*
*They won't escape our wrath*
*We will get there instantly*

when attacking:
*Unleash the fury!*
*His wrath from the heavens!* <- whirlwind quote from DoW1
*Concentrate fire!*
*Purge them from the sky!*
*None shall survive*

Centurion Devastators
*Centurion warsuits awaiting for battle*
*Our weapons are ready*
*Decimator protocols operational*
*They are already dead*
*Shred their armour, rend their flesh!* I may be getting too chaosy...

Thank you Avatrass.. those are about what we're looking for but yes the "rend their flesh" is definitely a little Chaos-like.

I'll have a go doing some for the Nightshade/Crimson Hunter....

On Click

*Nightshade ready - you have a target?*
*star engines primed....*
*what purpose does the CraftWorld require?*
*guide the spirit stones, and my weapons*


On move order

*as swift as a banshee....*
*received*
*engines on full thrust*
*I/we shall strike there....*

on attack order

*cut them to ribbons!*
*lances charging!*
*engaging!*
*after that aircraft!*

upon destruction of enemy unit

*hardly a challenge....*
*let the skies burn with their smoldouring remains....*
*aircraft down - new orders?*

Upon attack from enemy units

*stay focused!*
*keep those lances on target!*
*they fight the inevitable!*
*their salvo is like a thunderstorm!* (taken from DOW )

it's late here, so I'll do some SM/Tau one's for you tomorrow. I also write a lot of fluff and stuff, so if you need something like that then PM me as you see fit

G.A

Update..

We're now really looking for a voice script writer for the Tau XV107 Battlesuit and a small selection of Chaos Space Marines Word Bearer squads.

Please step forward if you can!

Thank you Community!

Since the little quotes from your units has always been one of may favorite parts of rts games, I figured I would give some a shot

Since I don't know much about Tau, I'll skip straight to the Chaos Marines

-when unit is created-
"Out of the warp, and into the battlefield"
"Bolters loaded and ready for war"
"The gods have called us to war!"

-Unit receives upgrade-
"Ah, a gift from the gods!"
"The gods grant us new wargear!"

-Selection-
"We are ready to wage war"
"What tasks do the gods see fit for us?"
"We are eager to please the gods"
"Where is our strength required?"
"We serve the dark gods!"
"We are called to war!"
"What do the gods need of me?"
"

-Movement-
"It is the will of chaos"
"If the gods command it..."
"We go"
"If we must..."
"If this is what you wish, so be it..."
"Very well..."
"

-Attacking-
"More sacrifices for the dark gods!"
"They will die by our hands!"
"Load your bolters, there is killing to be done"
"Khorne, guide our blades!"
"None shall survive!"
"Spill their blood!"
"They will know the glory of Chaos!"
"They will know the might of Chaos!"
"The dark gods will have their souls!"
"Chaos will consume them!"
"Their deaths will please the gods"
"Our blades thirst for their blood!"
"No survivors!"
"A show of violence? excellent..."

-Under attack-
"They dare challenge Chaos!"
"We are under attack, do something!"
"The enemy seeks our death!"
"We are taking fire!"
"The enemy is upon us!"

-Taking Casualties-
"The gods have abandoned us!"
"We are found unworthy!"
"We are being routed!"
"We require reinforcements!"
"Another one of us has fallen!"

-Capturing Objectives-
"It shall be a monument to the dark gods!"
"It shall belong to Chaos!"
"We shall take it for Chaos!"
"Claim it in the name of chaos!"
"The objective is ours!"
"We will take it by force!"

Well, there is a few that you might like there. Now I am interested in how they will sound when voiced in real life versus how I hear them in my head

Thank you Robo!
