With Gaim on horizon, what race is next?

[sidewinder]

What was the name of that one race up by the dilgar homeworld? Tal-Konasha I think. werent they supposed to be one of the older races? Not ancient old but close to it?
If Mongoose has the license long enough I'd like to see them, maybe, expand the map. The map in the books isnt really much of the galaxy. The whole map is maybe only 200 lightyears across, if that much. Vega is on the map and its only 25 lightyeats away.

 

[darknight]

the tal-kona sha, were inferior to the ancients but superior to the minbari, and they probably evolved from burroeing mammals, and probably had a lot of cybergenic inplats, it seems as well that their ships still remain in their home space, alive and very dangerous,.......mmmm cool

but in B5 only a small area of the galaxy has been explored. Lyta makes a reference to the Shadow War engulfing 60 light years of worlds.

 

[Da Boss]

Yeah but there is also a shot where they have the whole galaxy on screen and show attacks by the Shadows in different parts..............

Indeed plus there are quite a few things we don't know about what else is out there. The old AoG rpg said that the Minbari once fought against a race known as the Wen'dan Horde which came from outside known space as the race were nomads so thats just one of the possible threats out there. And the "red helm" aliens are also there, who could quite possibly be the Wen'dan Horde. And who knows what other mid born species like the Tal'kona-sha are there.

How about the bad guy race from Legend of the Rangers? Nasty and a definately different look.

 

[Talisinbear]

Do any of the lines from a game such as Full Thrust meet the general disigns of any of these races to do a home grown force

The "Hand", the bad guys from Legends, had star shaped ships. I don't recollect any line that has similar models.

 

[Talisinbear]

so what scale are B5 minis anyways ? I have them but not sure of the approximate scale

Talisinbear

 

[darknight]

haha, what scale, most are really not done to one, but they are trying with some of the new ones, omega/vorlon transport, etc

 

[Talisinbear]

so are we talking 1/300 scale

I'm thinking more in terms of size compatability with some other mini lines

Talisinbear

 

[Iain McGhee]

It's pretty variable. As a rule of thumb, the higher the rating of the ship (meaning Raid or whatever) the smaller the scale. The Omega should be over 1.5 km (varies according to source) and the Hyperion about half that. Sunhawks and White Stars are roughly half the size of the Hyperion and fighters would be barely visible at all if to scale.

 

[Talisinbear]

So really any other gaming company fig could fit into B5 if they fit the general feel of one of the non-fleeted races talked about here.

The question is what general look to some of the races have in terms of ship design

Talisinbear

 

[MustEatBrains]

I think that most Full Thrust ships can be used in conjunction with CTA, although they are of a smaller scale So you might only want to use the ships for lower priority levels; use FT frigates as CTA superheavy fighters, and so on.

 

[Talisinbear]

that said, and since most of you are farrrrr more familiar with the other races than I, are any of the Full Thrust line in a style with the races ship from B% that do not yet have models?

Talisinbear

 

[Da Boss]

BFG : The Tau are good "aliens" and the Eldar make good Minbari The Tryandis could be made into interesting Shadowy / Alien ships

None that I´m aware of at the moment, no.

 

[Talisinbear]

these are kewl

[Talisinbear]

it would seem Cascor would be good choice for new fleet just based on smooth but rather simple to cast (I assume) design at least the AoG FA ships were
