A Tribute
#1

As someone that really enjoys every good written lore, I got to know the Warhammer 40k lore, because of Dawn of War (something like now with BTech). Interesting thing I encountred were tributes, lots of them. They basicaly use every art that is plausible, add fitting music and give you a brief take on said faction.
I wonder, did anyone try to do something like that? BTech and Wh40k are pretty familiar when it comes down to story. They both sell it in books with lots of arts included and they both have a big fanbase. Since they can make something like that from the art they mostly made themselves, I ask could someone make a similiar tribute for CC? It could be on our website and basicaly give even those less worried about the lore a brief take on our history, motives, life and power.
Thanks for reading, add your thoughts and please convince Grafix to make one.
Here is an example of said tributes:
P.S. I thought of this thanks to the "Liao Music" thread, which made me remember the tributes for Tau, as those almost always have asian music as background.

1. I'm an avid warhammer 40k Fan, like i've read most if not all the books, know all the lore. It's quite different....and a lot cooler and deeper than B-tech. Granted, Battletech has been around longer, but warhammer is just so dynamic and keeps you engrossed in all the lore. Mechwarrior is cool, i've read some of the books and looked up a lot of the lore from various sources(including the wiki, but that is very slim on the details) and even though its filled with intrigue and epic battles, doesn't even shine compared to 40k ......But thats my opinion
2. Are you a warhammer fan as well? what books have you read?
3. And to the idea of such a tribute, yes....that be cool..Grafix should make such a video for the great house of Liao
And just because im a huge Warhammer 40k Buff and Space marine fan (which are the greatest fictional warrior)

I am a fan, but mostly the same as with Battletech, i.e. through various PC games. That pretty much makes me good at lore, but I would probably fail in a "lore duel" with someone else, same as with BTech. I am too young to have this kind of hobby.

They came from players from the MPBT3025, Zone, Mektek and ISW
they could be something to build off of, but we may need to use the in game artwork from MWO and see about having a new one made for House Liao.
It is a great IDEA!
Thanks Addy!

I saw some scenes from the last Matrix where the computers were going to enter Zion.
MW4 Veneance battle scenes
BattleStar Galactica scenes
Trailers from MWO
Some kind of space movie battle scenes
I think I saw Stargate Atlantis battle scene in there also
Some Japanese robot scenes
Some few others I could not recognize
Good work with the splicing..

And this is for the Daviots thinking we are just mindless husks. We are normal people as well. Credit goes to aaronmiller (DeviantArt, too).
