Colour me interested. Will most likely play a Tindrel, maybe write up a faction sheet for some kind of Tindrel Black Panther-esque group. I doubt the abolition of slavery came with total social outlook change towards the insect people


Great! I'm just trying to find the old picture i used for the Tindrel. It was absolutely perfect and i can't settle for any substitutes.

Quite insecty. Greenish grey, four to six arms, angular head.

In other news, i'm overhauling BESC's armory and vehicle base because last time they had a lot of outdated tech. Going to bring them right back up to speed. Can anyone think of a name for these two desert vehicles?

I thought of Camel too! Why'd you say Sidewinder? Out of interest, it's a good name.

Tindrels wouldn't happen to look like this, would they?



Just a guess, based on you using fightPunch's art.

No, they stand on four legs (think table legs) and have a long thin upright body with four long arms ending in spindly fingers. I will find it if it kills me. That's an interesting piece of concept art though!

Sidewinder is a nickname for a type of desert snake that moves across the sand by a sort of s shaped slide that goes sideways hence the name

I think Elephant would be a better name, since it's large and stompy.

That is a good name too! It does have very specific connotations for me however...

Chupacabre? Is that how you spell it?
My hesitation with naming the vehicles after Earth animals is the issue that Outremer is a long way from Earth. It's also way into the future, so certain animals from Earth may have died out or never been heard of by the colonists. :( We should probably go for another naming scheme.

It's not a very stalky thing. More of a cruiser or a roller.

Halo Reference <3

And you could simply have more 'official' names for them.. Like Babylon All Terrain Assault Vehicle (BATAV), maybe Bat as a nickname? May be a bit less fun naming-wise, but could sound kinda impressive :P

I find this to be a rather interesting thing you're developing here! I shall keep an eye on this one..

For now, however, I shall leave a flag here, simply because I can, and I will return at a later date.
