hmm i think SM chapters can all be painted with the same brush if you get me but CSM need to be different because of the harlequin ties with Slaanesh more than the other gods.

[thudo]

Yeah CSM is entertaining to make fun of. Still.. SM chapters have their own thing about em we can poke fun at.

[goldenhorde]

Here're some enemy spotted speeches I can come up with. hope it helps!

blood_angels
1. Enter the bloody minded humans
2. Farseer Eldrad was right to see their vampyric nature

1. Monkeigh carry the plague of chaos into the material plane
2. These Monkeigh actors are lost to all that is good and pure in this universe

craftworld
1. The shadow of She Who Thirsts brings our wrath to our Craftworld kin
2. As the Great Hawk did to Falcon, we watch over our Craftworld kin

darkangels
1. Your so-called secrets are recorded in the Black Library, dark ones
2. Monkeigh, you crawl from your rock to dance with us?

death_guard
1.The fallen ones dance with lethargy, we’ll show them to dance with speed
2. Our steps will cut their diseased tissue from their bones

eldar
1. To thwart She Who Thirsts, we shed even precious Eldar blood
2. With violence, we excise the tendrils of chaos from our kin

emperors_children
1. On stage, the bonded humans of She Who Thirsts!
2. How blind are the Monkeigh creatures to willingly serve She Who Thirsts?

harlequins
1. We dance against our own flesh to forestall a greater evil
2. Break, my heart! at what we must do against our own number

imperial_guard
1. Monkeigh fanatics, do you think we have forgotten Bel-Shammon? Dolthe? Vassiera?

inquisition_daemonhunt

1. The Rillietann emerge from the Webway to avenge the breach of the Black Library
2. Cegorach laughs even at these warp-ridden humans

tyranid
1. How strange to dance against creatures who know nothing of evil or decadence or chaos
2. The Ardathair saw the taint in those creatures’ genes

ultramarines
1. Their gene father dead of She Who Thirsts and yet they choose to dance against us?
2. Ultramarines, how many times would they stand in the way of the dance?

2. The humans bring the torch but we bring the knife and song

[GMB]

jesus christ gimme a chance nice work harlequin, you might actually be more obsessed than me

only thing i will say is i wouldn't use Monkeigh so much, and deathguard 2 "diseased tissue" could maybe be changed to "plagued flesh"

[thudo]

Hmmm.. actually we also need voice scripts for:

- Chorus (builder)
- Mimes
- Master Mime (Mine Squad Leader)
- Troupe

I think we'll have enough then.

[GMB]

mimes don't talk.

troupe can have the vanilla harlequin dialague surely?

[thudo]

Mines = OK yer right, they inherently do not speak do they.
Troupe = Yeah I suppose they can use the vanilla Eldar Harlequin voices.

[Opuoxions]

I thought some sort of musical humming was going to be used for the mimes? Is that still on the table? If not it is cool, it seemed like a lot of work.

Goldenhorde should be able to easily hook us up with the Troupe and the Chorus scripts. His stuff is very good. The random relic voice for the Troupe would seem out of place with everything else being custom made.

Totally up to you guys though, just providing feedback.

[GMB]

yeah mimes can still have the humming

i'm thinkin similar to the hum of the eldar in the FoK mod maybe?

[thudo]

Can I get a good voice script list for the Chorus (Builders)? I have someone who has a couple of actors who can move this along now.

So with Mines will just have humming of sorts I guess. Troupes stay with the standard vanilla Eldar Harlies voices.

I think the rest we got now based on the previous lists.

[GMB]

A few random ones i'm thinking up on the spot here

Set the stage for our sisters!
Spotlight on centre stage!
Raise the curtain; let them see our glorious creations!
You need our help?

when singing:
Let our song guide us to victory!
Rise up, my fallen kin!

when they stop singing:
You must sing alone now!
Our song is needed elsewhere

morale:
our song is out of tune!

morale recovered:
they shall hear our song once more
nothing can silence us!

under attack:
they hear us!

will think of more if i can

[thudo]

Please do: the sound guy is waiting. Awesome and so quick!

[GMB]

sing! sing the song of our ancestors!!

silence!! or they shall hear us...

you! centre stage on my count!

[goldenhorde]

I really like the idea of the humming for the mimes. Here are some ideas for the troupe and chorus. The troupes' are different from but reminiscent of the vanilla harlequin lines and the chorus lines are in eldar, except for the battlecries! If quasi-singing in untranslated eldar is too much of a pain, feel free to use the translations in their stead or mix with other translated lines. The chorus voice i imagine to be something like Loreena McKennitt in The Mystic's Dream song in The Mask and the Mirror album.

[Overmind]

Yes, yes we are.... did I mention I love people who write Sound Scripts. I'm the current voice actor for the Harlies(I say current as lack of response elsewhere has somehow led me to beleive they don't like me).

So to get more feedback(a voice actors lifeblood)...
