bugs in spaaace!
I am currently imagining a genosian type effort.
Which is good.
I’m not sure ‘not tyranids’ would appeal so much.
Well as a Tyranid player this makes me happy, I love bugs! I am still hoping for an entirely “Alien” race that will just blow my socks off, not some wimpy Tau looking things. Hopefully the 8th race will come through for me.
I’m so glad we didn’t have to wait long for this vid.
I was fully expecting something like this, and it was a good expectation. Every scifi game is now coming up with some sort of bug race, and it all started with Starship Troopers.
I like how their plans are to mimic the giant bugs of cheesy old horror movies instead of making their own variation of tyrannid or zerg. So i guess it would be more akin to starship troopers. Cant wait to see concept art!
hot diggity, i love scifi!
I’m a bit disappointed to see nids in this game, but that’s just my anti-bug bias. I guess they bring some tactical variety as opposed to including one more variation of humanoid with slightly different guns….. The rascal inside of me wants to see more defunct 40k races…. Why not go with Hrud, give them a slight “black lagoon” look, and satisfy the overwhelming outcry for “fish-people”
My first thoughts are more district 9 than not-tyranid, but I do like the fact that the completely alien aliens that are attacking relentlessly aren’t some mystery from outside the galaxy that’s been found and will keep us guessing their reasoning and origins for 30+ years, but we actually know why they’re doing it- We annoyed them and they just cant see the difference between the short pink ones the skinny pink ones or the medium sized pink ones that brought those big green ones with them. They’re just defending the hive. Okay I’d have to be totally naive to… Read more »
Appreciate the Starship Troopers (novel) reference!
I would love to see some concepts arts for the Zz’or, are they going to be a unified look race like the tyranids? Are they going to be a star ship trooper style race with radically different looking troops? Are they going to be hive mind linked? Are they going to lesser intelligence race or are they going to be a highly intelligent coprative? Oh and come on Ronnie ‘Catch a flight’ yeah right, what is it your air blimp? Because as long as your selling us BS why not? right. Come on were backstage were the guys that did… Read more »
Ever heard of suspense and building anticipation? Mystery & intrigue are what peaks interest and excitement…and I really like that Mantic are using these marketing tools to keep people buzzing about what that 8th race might be. 😉 Too much too soon is like eating all your sweeties at once…you lose the enjoyment because you took too much at once and now have nothing left to look forward too! 😉
Indeed ltmech.
I am hoping for proper “bugs” rather than another Tyranid / Starship Troopers rip-off. I am thinking waspmen, antmen, hornets, beetles, etc etc. That my friends would be awesome if done properly!
I was thinking more of the Buggers from Ender’s Game or maybe even something like this:

What was that!? The least scary big bug in the world, the music didn’t help mind you.
The 8th race, you guys didn’t get the memo? Its really space grannies that have super powered walkers and Darrell is play testing them. I herd that they have a special power called “Give your grandma a kiss”. You loose all moral tests, its killer! Also the close combat special attack is “the cheek pull”, if said with the line “Your so cute” the game ends with you as the looser.
Fishmen fishmen fishmen fishmen FISHMEN.
This isnt the plaice for speculation, I think we need to stop carping on about Fishmen.
I feel a bit of a trout for saying it, but for the love of cod , let the eighth race lie!
chaos fishmen
First of all… BUGS! Well, it was expected, so no big surprise, but confirmation is always good. Don´t you think that the Corporation is behind everything? They´re really the bad guys!!
Finally, please, please, NOT Fishmen!!
Lets see the stats for the bugs- it’ll be good to see them compete with marauders & forge fathers & confirm the viability of the warpath system
After all this vocal monkey toss about the 8th race…they better be worth it 😉 If it’s Chipmunks with lasers I don’t think it will stand them in good stead… 🙂 The Zz’or…who would name them that? I appreciate the level of humour but if you encountered a species of big nastry bugs…would you call them Zz’or’s? “Sweet Jesus Glen (from Birmingham if you want to imagine an accent), what the hell were those things? They ate the entire flagship!” “Don’t know Chris. They looked like a Zz’or or something to me…” “A Zz’or? What the hell is that? What… Read more »
I like Zz’oro 😉
Maybe the first guy to see one was having a pee at the time, and tried to do up his fly whilst starting to run, caught his nuts in the zip and shouted ZZOR before it killed him.
And the name just stuck.
I would love Space Monkeys. 🙂
