They are bred for, and obsessed with war, low tech, prone to using slaves as bullet shields (helots=grots) don't really care much about money or diplomacy etc etc.Įldar are more like Athenians. Orks have some aspects of the Spartan, but minus the iron discipline. There are a heap of others in the area with their own identity. Sparta was not too big on eggheads, turning out badasses instead who spent most of their lives in one war or another.īoeitia (sp?) was farmlands mainly- peaceful and pretty dull. It was famous for its fleets and for its thinkers/philosphers. Sparta was as much a part of Greece (from that perpective) as Athens.Īthens was civilized and considered decadent. It was several massively different nations, that all got lumped together by historians. Problem is 'Greece' in ancient times wasn't Greece as we tend to think of it now. Orks seemed to have inherited the western idea of shock warfare from the greeks! Much how ork forces are formed and continue to snowball with no hardfeeling from the conquered. Greeks also prefered shock warfare above all other types, straight and simple battle decides everything and everyone abides by that. The orks also have a very straitforward simply style of warfare with very little "low cunning" It would fit into a very orkish culture to simply put all the big guys on the right wing to let them beat up on all the little guys.

sounds a lot like the mountains and valleys of greece. Ork society is known for its constant warfare, somehow still being highly successful and being led by strongman(which besides athens, often as not greece was run this way) the orks are almost always broken up into lots of small communities as well. the loosing side typically only lost 15% at most. It was a very effective means of deciding political disputes outside of politics. Greek warfare before Rome was almost constant, involved everyone ages 18-41 was very brutal but short and didn't incure very many casulties. The orks are going to be the closest in my opinion. Government style aka mob rule in athens or oligarchy everywhere else, going to be kind of hard to find. What aspect of I'm just going to say ancient greece is the OP looking for.

Against these sorts of weapons or, well, any weapon capable of automatic fire or firing any kind of high-explosive, a phalanx-style infantry formation is a good way to get yourself killed.Īgain, I think it comes down to knowing more about what you're specifically looking for so we can maybe figure out a more-suitable suggestion. Most Marines will prefer the bolter, or the chainsword, depending on the tactical situation of the moment. I don't think any of them use grox-drawn chariots in battle, not even the White Scars, and only the GKs make standard use of a weapon resembling a spear. well, SM Power Armor is all fairly standardized, with some minor variation in helmet and power-pack design, their standard troop issues/types are likewise fairly standard and none of them practice democracy in any way, shape or form. Fighting monsters and dragons, finding lost treasures, defeating tens of thousands with 3 guys, you know, that sort of thing.
Warhammer 40k races movie#
If you're looking for some sort of Jason-and-the-Argonauts sort of Chapter, or a Chapter that is something like the movie 300. I considered Blood angels, but i dont see many references, iron snakes i did forget however, but i dont see what im looking for directly in them. Im really baffled at finding anything, if anyone has any similarities that ive missed out, or influences that ive forgotten to look over it would be really appreciated if you could post them here please.ĭakkawolf wrote:Well i meant either age, modern, ancient and medieval. Tau arent even in question, same with tyranids, orks, nearly 100% of other chapters listed officially, the Inquisition is another catholic practise, the IG so far has no regiments resembling WWI, WWII, Modern or Ancient Greek Armies, and necrons just simply share no likes at all. Ultramarines are based off of a Greco-Roman Stand point, yet have few Greek references included and too many Roman ones. The imperium is based off of a Soviet / Third Reich style Hyper-Religious view of things, and is based of Catholicism not Orthodoxy so shares little if not no similarities. Ive spent a while thinking about this and i cant find an answer, Eldar are close due to similar Religious views (Khaine is almost a double of Ares, Vaul is shares a story with Hephaestus, ect) but there are also Egyptian influences en-masse which seem to deter that.
