Quantar - JGE Eldar?

[Rebel Diamond]

As a bit of a sad bunny when I was a kid I played some Warhammer 40K and it strikes me that the Quantar are the JGE version of the Eldar.

The Skein being akin to the "Webway" and, like the Eldar, the Quantar tend to live and die in space.

I only had Eldar figures as a kid and so I'll be laying my colours along the Quantar path FWIW.

See you in space!

No I'm not!

And the Skein that Quantar believe in isn't also - they believe the whole of space is the skein. Skein = time and space

Quantar had planets with habitation until the shift, I don't picture them as a Pseudo-Elves, but your internal imagery is your own property. There is some leeway here given the absence of characters in your traditional sense. I could in turn state that Quantar are Rock-Huggers, more like Pseudo-Dwarves. But now we could have been on the LotRO forums, and nobody would have noticed. ;-)

I kind of agree here since the Eldar seem to be the advanced ancient race of the WW40K universe. In JGE the Quantar are humans that are extremely spiritual and advanced at flying... so sort of. Perhaps a better comparison would be the JGE alien race that saved everyone from the pink-colored Necron/Tarranid-like alian race.

That would make the Octavions the Space Marines, or the Orks because of their imperial mentality and their love of wahhhhhh!

Solrians would be... the Chaos Marins perhaps...

Two differnt universes with two very differnt takes on humanities development through space.

One major diff. would be that in JGE there is at least a glimer of hope. In 40K the galexy WILL eventually burn in the flames of chaos.

"In 40K the galexy WILL eventually burn in the flames of chaos. "

Yup as soon as the emporer collapses it all goes down.

I think the developers took some inspiration off different games when the wrote the story lines and the nations history
or books for that matter

[haha]

you could alos say they took it from the history of the various empires that have come and gone over the centuaries right here on earth, given them a few tweaks and ascribed them as the lore of begining.

lets face it the rise and change and fall of the roman empire pretty much gets used to back drop any and all sci-fi games, soem are a bit more adventurous and use the slightly more modern empires (why is there always an empire in every game?) some prefer to use the over view of the allied forces over turning the germans during ww2, and then they chuck in a third "race" as the red faction and use bits from history of the union of socialist soviet republic to flesh out the back drop for them

its all pretty much same same, sure they flower it with different bits but if you check most games have an empire, an alliance and a union and thease factions war against eachother, they may get expanded and have either seperatist factions added in or a new super race (normally npc and largley daft in singles) that gets to join in the fun.

like in warhammer 40k pc game where people created mods and clearly based there race on something else entirely, the tau were created by a modder (for use as an auto win i dont doubt) but got added to the official list of races and given a backdrop that was clearly straight out of the stargate series on tv.

sci-fi is and always will be a genre that is largly made up of i wonder what if this happened in space, the exceptions ot this are where they actually stone up some true creativity and dream a way of something being done.

dont get me worng i like it for the most part but i always chuckle when i realise where the idea came from.

haha I think your right
empires unions and alliances are always in those games
also the fascist side is being used and the religion's thema too. like qauntar in JGE is oblivious a race of believers
but I think and this more a pley to the script writer to give some more depth to those story. and I don't mean depth in the way of make the story on the website longer but make the story more interesting
like for example a empire has a emperor but below the emperor there are nobles that would comped for power. generals that have fights with other generals
let intern conflicts take place within nations. ill work it out and place it on the development forum
