In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
About:
Warhammer 40k: Marauder is my and Deadzone's new server taking place in the Warhammer 40k universe. This is a team death match, it consists of multiple large maps and fast paced gameplay.
After many weeks of work, the server will be released for the first time, today!(10/26/13) Myself and Deadzone have put countless work and effort into this for all of Blockland to enjoy. So do us a favor and join us!
Every other day*, we will host this twice. We will host twice a day with 2 different maps.
*: Cycle has not yet begun, right now we are doing this on the weekends until some things are cleared up.
Each map will consist of 3 rounds. Whoever wins the most rounds, their teams will win that map. The winning team will be mentioned on this topic, along with all the players on that team.
SERVER STATUS:Server is DOWN until next weekend! See you then!
Rules
The rules are simple, follow them so you and others will have a great experience with Marauder!
1. Respect players and admins (flaming, bashing, etc.)
2. No exploits (Please report such exploits)
3. Do not hold back your team ( hour long AFK, getting in the way, nuisance)
4. Help your teammates when possible! (optional)
Teams
In Marauder, there are 4 teams.
The first team are the Space Marines.
Space Marines are playable in Pra'yen.
Space Marines are known to be vastly powerful in combat. If it be in their armored vehicles, like the mighty Vindicator, or as infantry on the field, the Space Marine has the odds going for him.
The second team are Chaos Space Marines.
Chaos are playable on Hive City
Chaos Space Marines are the most feared enemy in combat. Take the all powerful Space Marine, make him extremely angry, and you have the Space Marine's grim rival.
The third team is the Imperial Guard.
Imperial Guard are playable on Hive City.
Imperial Guard are the largest body of Imperial military. Their strength is puny and their weapons are not the best, but given numbers and wit, any player can give a good fight.
The fourth team is the Tau
Tau are playable on Pra'yen.
Tau are a new rival in the galaxy. With their advanced technology, they stand a threat in the galaxy. They are always looking for allies to join the Greater Good, in this case, they have hired mercenaries from the Blacktail rogue traders. With combined human and Tau forces, the Tau are ready to fight all in their way.
How To Play
This flows like a normal TDM, with a few exceptions.
When you spawn, find the lighted gate, or, where ever the other players are going.
At the gate, chose one of the colored buttons, these will be your secondaries. (green = bolt pistol blue = plasma pistol for space marines)
Walk to the mini-map display, here you will see a minature version of the map with labeled capture-locations.
Hovering over the mini-map, you will see 1x1 flat stacks; these are your class choices. Some stacks will belong to the enemy team: you will be unable to pick from these.
The three classes are as follows:
Green: Special; much more powerful in comparison to the others, this choice may only be unlocked by capturing the relic; granting one soldier the power to destroy many.
Orange: Specialist type; while not having the widest variety of weapon choices, this class is typically more effective in certain situations.
Red: Heavy-Weapon type; just as it sounds, they spawn with heavy primary weapons that when deployed, will release their power onto the battlefield.
Grey: Frontline type; standard soldiers, however; they have the largest variety of weapon randomization.
Randomization; upon picking the class of your choice, your primary weapon will be randomly picked out of the appropriate weapon choices for that class. Saving time, confusion, and allowing for the players to get something rare/powerful.
Capture points play a large role in this game; each map will have Spawn Capture points, Objective Capture points, and the Relic.
The 'Spawn Capture' points, when taken; will allow the players on your team to spawn near it, instead of just back at your team's default spawn. [Marked by a cube in the sky]
'Objective Capture' points are one of the main things you'll need to win the game. When captured, your team is instantly granted points. [Marked by a half-cube in the sky]
The 'Relic' allows for the special class (and special vehicle on larger maps) to be spawned by the team that captures it, and will also grant points. [Marked by a Diamond in the sky]
That's how to play! Sounds easy, huh?

Maps
So far, we have 2 maps ready, and 2 more planned!
Here is what we have so far!
(Mostly sneakpeeks, visit the server to see the whole map!)
The battle of Pra'yen was a battle during the Damocles Gulf Crusade between Imperium and Tau forces. The Marines destroy on the field, the Tau own the skies! Made by: SkoopDaHoop, Deadzone, unknown(free map)
Imperium hive cities are famous for their large population. But when one falls to Chaos, the casualties are in the billions. Enter the intensity of the Imperial Guards last stand against the heretics!Made by: Deadone, SkoopDaHoop
During the Great Crusade, many humans colonies were reunited with the Imperium. Some, however, were forgotten. The worlds unfortunate enough to fall short of worthiness were taken by Chaos during the Horus Heresy. This planet, long controlled by Chaos, was immediately ordered to be taken back by Space Marine forces when told of its peril.Map made by: Deadzone, SkoopDaHoop, Unknown
