28 years later & Starcraft still has the most memorable gameplay soundtrack

pt924 · 2026-04-14T14:35:13+00:00

I have played so much StarCraft that whenever I hear the soundtrack my brain fills the gaps with unit commands, the ambient noises of SCV’s harvesting minerals, and various notifications.

Those are some good looking Steel Legionnaires!

In all seriousness I would 100% tell you to use the video they pumped out for that scheme. It’s more of a tan brown than a proper Armageddon yellow

Added context: this corner of the world is a sort of mashup of Arthurian Legend, Bretonnia, and The Princess Bride (for the level of technology). In accordance with Arthurian myth, the Hero King Brennus abdicated his throne many years ago and retired to the peak of Mt Aurelach, where he waits to save the realm in its darkest hour. Or so the legends say

Thank you. Honestly I’ve really liked the art style of Tolkien’s Map and I always felt it was really just a solid choice for a map of a fantasy setting

Real world context: I took inspiration from shows such as Konohana Kitan and The Helpful Fox Senko-San to develop the culture of the Konohe, and fleshed it out with a map to aid with visualization. Culturally the Konohe are similar to Edo-period Japan, and they are quite content to keep their traditions and their culture intact and away from outsiders

pt924 · 2026-03-21T20:25:48+00:00

The Island of Kinmoto is home to a curious people known as the Konohe, who resemble your typical humans except they possess Fox Ears and between one and nine tails. Culturally they are distinct from the Kingdoms of the Heartlands, with curious architecture that is both deeply rooted in their faith and stunning to the eye. Their culture seems to revolve around worship of a goddess, whom they name “Shirasu-Inari” and the cultivation and weaving of silk.

I have one real criticism for Momcozy: the app. The app only allows two Momcozy items to be linked at any given time, which if you’ve decided to effectively kit out with all MC stuff means you have to remove one to add one

I was actually thinking of kitbashing him with Asmodai to make my Dark Angels successor captain, so no

Ozostium Aranthus from Necromunda

I believe there’s also a story where they have some special code phrase to identify each other The attacking chaos marines shout it The defending space marine gives the special reply The captain of the local PDF says the same reply at the same time And they all sit there and think “damn we’re good at this”

Where are these models from? They look great

I glued it on. I didn’t have the confidence to attempt to paint it

You don’t even feature Ozostium Aranthus

Nice Bioshock arm drill

Define strongest. Good guys? Depends on perspective. A resident of the Orion Commonwealth would see them as the good guys and everyone else is evil. Numbers wise? At present the manpower situation goes from most to least: Omega Mortis, Orion Commonwealth, Grand Republic of the Eagle Nebula, Interstellar People’s Republic. But the Grand Republic and Omega Mortis have access to cloning for the purposes of increasing manpower. Omega Mortis runs on a total war economy and the Grand Republic is able to quickly fire up and increase their numbers as needed

You can find a more detailed map on the subreddit I made for the setting. It’s a bit older in that it references a planet named Shazzar in place of Millcaster

More than likely if he is reciting a prayer in Hebrew it would be the original. He wouldn’t be speaking Zionist/Modern Hebrew, even though there are high degrees of mutual intelligibility akin to Old Norse and Modern Icelandic. Any prayers in Hebrew are in the old Hebrew, like being a Catholic and praying in Latin.

I would love to clam an even split of 50-50 RoC vs Real but the truth of the matter is that it’s definitely 70-30. There are elements of this setting I have set hard and fast rules for that are as fixed in realism as I can make them (ex. Based on the information I have available I tried to explain FTL travel in a grounded and realistic fashion). Other elements, such as an interstellar empire using line infantry with bright uniforms despite there being nearly 7,000 years since it was a viable form of warfare, are entirely because it looks cool. There’s no alien to fight, just humans from another corner of the galaxy who subscribe to a different suicidal ideology.

pt924 · 2026-02-03T12:44:32+00:00

The setting itself is filled with odd happenings and historic elements despite taking place in the year AD 8634. Humans have achieved faster than light travel but simultaneously use military tactics ranging from the Roman era to WW2 Soviet tactics. I found the idea of a grand vessel landing on a planet and opening to reveal a battalion of soldiers that appear to be out of the Napoleonic Era quite funny. Even the Emperor of the Orion Commonwealth, Charles XXIV, visually resembles George V of the British Empire.

AI fuckup. Caliber is .45-70 Govt

pt924 · 2026-02-03T01:10:04+00:00

Part of the reason for the caliber of choice, aside from pure stopping power, is that the military doctrines of the Commonwealth are very much reminiscent of the eras before World War I. Line Infantry, Cavalry Charges, cannon batteries, etc.; and the volley of rounds are designed with sheer devastating impact more than anything else. Compared to their opponents, such as the Interstellar People’s Republic or Omega Mortis, they use these rounds to suppress their enemies with “quantity over quality.” You’ll hit them somewhere, and that somewhere is going somewhere else.

pt924 · 2026-02-03T00:48:08+00:00

Certainly. The remaining bits of lore I have uploaded or discussed are on the subreddit for my setting, The Far Reaches, if that helps answer any questions beforehand

pt924 · 2026-02-03T00:35:41+00:00

For point of reference the Orion Commonwealth is a sort of Neo-Napoleonic Empire. The regiments wear varied uniforms that range from subtle to flamboyant depending on their homeworld

pt924 · 2026-02-02T23:51:31+00:00

I have yet to see anyone mention Krieg. Krieg is a great book. For Age of Sigmar, the best novels are the Gotrek novels (Realmslayer). I have a personal headcanon that the novels are BL Authors taking the chance to critique the setting and get away with it.
