Planetside 2, but in Warhammer 40k. I want to be an ork running around krumpin gits with a hundred other boyz, smashin up some humie tinboyz or them big bug wotsits
Bonus points if you can be a psyker and blow up your whole squad
I think that if you can make being cannon fodder fun, you can make a lot of money.
That's the easy part, you just have to be able to yell "WAAAAAGH!" while firing indiscriminately like a propa lad
I loved being cannon fodder in the M&B Napoleonic Wars mod.
Nothing beats lining up to face a volley of rifle fire.
Ethics aside, making the Space Marines pay-to-play while Orks are free would be hilarious, especially if the Orks still have higher odds of winning. Being a walking tank isn't pay-to-win. You have to coordinate and not get overrun by sentient mushrooms with extra-shooty red guns. Get a few veteran tabletop players to pony up, and they'll slice through a hundred randos without slowing down... while the survivors think it's the coolest thing they've ever seen.
I was thinking more about the line soldiers of the Astra Militarum as cannon fodder rather than Orks.
