To the Age of Strife Community...

I need competent script writers to design unit lines voice actors will speak for in-game use with various near-completed Dawn of War mod projects.

You MUST know the War40k faction in-question and be committed to building accurate voice script lines for specific unit types. I have a group of voice actors waiting on lines you will be putting together.

The following War40k factions need voice lines made for each unit:

Space Marines
--These are now done!
Black Templars
Blood Angels
Blood Ravens
Crimson Fists
Dark Angels
Fallen Angels
Imperial Fists
Iron Hands
Legion of the Damned
Raven Guard
Red Scorpions
Salamanders
Space Wolves: 13th Company
Ultramarines
White Scars
MISC Space Marine assets

Chaos
--These are now done!
Alpha Legion
Black Legion
Blood Pact
Death Guard
Emperors Children
Iron Warriors
Night Lords
Red Corsairs
Thousand Sons
Traitor (Imperial Guard) Legion
World Eaters
Word Bearers

Imperial Guard
--These are now done!
Adeptus Mechanicus
Cadian/His Righteous
Catachans
Death Korps of Krieg
Elysians
Harakoni Warhawks
Last Chancers/Penal Legion
Mordians
PDF Guard
Praetorians
Tallarn
Tanith First and Only/Gaunts Ghosts
Valhallans
Vostroyans
MISC Imperial Guard assets

Eldar
--These are now done!
Craftworld - 5 Branches
Harlequins

Tau
--These are now done!
Farsight Enclaves - 5 branches

Orks
--These are now done!
Armageddon - 6 branches

Please come forth immediately if you know any or more of the above War40k factions VERY WELL and are able to write out 30-40 voice lines per unit. I will ensure your efforts are credited when the project goes out the door to the public.

NOTE: Voice Actors are also welcome to audition for the parts above. Please do so if you believe you can make clear and crisp recordings.

Thanks Strife community!!

Just a pointer. The Legion of the Damned do not speak! Thay are Silant Bringers of Death.

I think that's explained away in the text for the legion if you follow the link. Sometimes sound effects are used instead - or the ghostly whipsers of damend and dying marines. They don't actually speak themselves.

I'm sure thudo can confirm that though :)

What an excellent idea - I'll be glad to help in any way that I can

I will have a look at this later on this evening

Already got some ideas re- iron hands and Red Scorpions

Do you have a list of "Actions" that the quotes are going to be used for?

I think you'll respectively disagree with the compromised we reached with THIS!. LoD are indeed Ghosts but that doesn't mean should TOTALLY be devoid of dialogue. They are damaged spirits and should tell some sort of story even very limited.

Magnificent, WorfLord (thank you Matt)! We are in desperate need of Red Scorpion scripters as well as IH but mostly Red Scorps (none seems to know about em). We can confer in PM if you wish and I'll provide all the details you need.

Thanks community! We got a lot done but still more to do. :D

Yep, KinG! We already have them all in a MAJOR Dark Angels, His Righteous/Cadian Mod, and Tallarns. Also, voicing is complete for Ultramarines, Fallen Angels, Orks, Eldar/Craftworld, and others. We're making considerable progress on all fronts since I started getting all of War40k scripted back in Oct'09. I plan to have everything done by the end of 2011 (with the considerable generous help of all of you). This is a COMMUNITY project meant NOT for Dawn of War 1 but for all War40k projects everywhere. It can be used for all time or as new models are added (ie. Forgeworld).

All the list in the first post is independently done -- GW would never EVER undertake such a thing -- its just too much work. However, I have extra time this last year to help coordinate this. I started this because one day I put in fully customized voices into a forthcoming Harlequins mod and was utterly stunned how cooler it sounds when custom voices are used rather than vanilla ones. I, thus, started the crusade and we're almost there.

Hope to have more of your input soon. :)

This is my application piece for the project ...

"Brother Bort, what are your coordinates?"

"Bort here, I am uncoordinated. Our auspex broked as has atmospheric pressure reached 40 garbles, which is garbling the auspex due to superflous and excessive pressures in the atmospheric. We approach a town with a house that reads "keep out!"

"Understood, that would place you in the town with the house that reads "keep out!" Can you confirm this?"

"Yes, I am confirm this!"

"Yes, I have confirm that you do be there and that you do be there at your alloted target which is that house that reads "keep out" which is an chaotic anomoly! Do you have audible that house?"

"Yes, do be listening!"

"Keep out keep out keep out!"

"The house-voice sound uncannily like Brother Tartiflette, who did die upon expiration, with malice aforethought and without due care and attention!"

"Yes, attention, I and we do both all stand at attention!"

"Keep out keep out keep out!"

"Shoot the house with guns and bombs and flamers and grenades, so that it infernal din shall be enquietened!"

And then they did, so it was.
Victory!!!

... but, what they did not know, for it was not in their heads, was that the house did read from an sinister book that remained vrgo intactus and that within that book were blasphemous words and a picture of a balloon, filled with unearthly gasses ...

@Ruffian.. which part of the list are you applying for? You'll notice from the list this is for Real-Time Strategy unit scripting so I don't doubt based on your submission you would be a good candidate to focus your dialogue to specific unit types. Does this mean you are interested?

Mental?

Sorry Thudo, I do actually write serious stuff, there's a bit around here and there.

But, I admire Shakespeare very much, he could convey massive ammounts of material extraordinarily eloquently with very few words and great elegance.

Should I therefore aspire to such a thing???? Not really, it just wont happen.

What to do then?
Write something overly long-winded, that conveys as little actual information as possible, in an unelegant and grammatically incorrect manner as possible.
In other words, absurd nonsense.

What are your coordinates? I am uncoordinated.
I wonder which Chapter would most welcome uncoordinated marines?

I'm not at all sure, how dangerous to the Imperium of man, a picture of a balloon filled with unearthly gasses is, either. :D

Sure man but as you have seen in the massive first post, this is about bringing "X" War40k unit alive for the first time as a logical entity which has a voice. Which in the first post do you think you could help with based on whats left to do?
