Space ZOMBIES vs. Space PIRATES

[jameslgrant]

So, now that I have a computer that DOESN'T SUCK, I've been playing the hell out of Warhammer 40K: Dark Crusade (http://www.dow-darkcrusade.com/main.php?region=US).

It just occurred to me that the Ork forces are pretty much just pirates with armor. Hell, their structures even LOOK like pirate ships. And they're out of their goddamn minds.

This expansion, however, has something amazing... the NECRON.

FUCKING SPACE ZOMBIES

I just thought I'd share. Playing as space zombies results in many hours of awesome. Zombies vs. Pirates. WOO!

Damn, I was hoping that this was an idea about crossing All Tomorrow's Zombies with Arrrrgh! Thar Be Zombies! for the All Flesh Must Be Eaten RPG.

Well, to be quite honest, orks made the best pirates in D&D to... maby theres something to this...

[Plunder Down-Under]

There are so many kinds of pirates...

Orc Pirates, Werewolf Pirates, Undead Pirates, Monkey Pirates, Space Pirates, Canadian Pirates, Computer Pirates, Modern Pirates, Ninja Pirates, Normal Pirates, Commercial Business Pirates, (P/M)uppet Pirates, Alien Pirates, Porno Pirates, Dodgeball Pirate, Shakesperian Pirates, Heavy Metal Pirates, Emo Pirates, Vampirates, Pirate Kings, Musical Pirates

And undoubtedly many more

Orks aren't pirates, the dark eldar are the pirates. The orks are just... orks. They don't even have wenches, they breed asexually. Not to mention pirates pillage, kidnap, and try to avoid large scale destruction because it limits their pillaging and kidnapping. Orks smash. They destroy everything in their path. No, not pirates.


And the necrons are actually supposed to be sort of sci fi mummies they have scarabs and giant pyramids, they come from TOMB worlds. Plus they can't infect people which is essential in zombification. However they do destroy entire worlds to satiate hunger... but it's not their hunger but the hunger of their god's so that's a twist.

I wonder when theyre going to release the dark eldar and the tyranids expansion pack... and when Ill get a computer that can actually play stupid dark crusade... Expansion packs should always be able to be played on the same computer that the original could be played on.
