Boltgun DLC/New Content Suggestions- FREE IDEAS AUROCH!

Story/Lore

Boltgun is fantastic, and I hope that sales have been strong enough to support DLC, or at the very least, releasing community mod tools and opening up the Steam Workshop. I'm not a game developer, but if I had the tools I'd absolutely make levels or a short campaign. It would be deeply disappointing Boltgun followed Space Marine in not adding story content, especially given the retro styling and simplified geometry.

I don't really want to see more Malum Caedo though, at least not yet. Personally, what would make Boltgun legendary would be (lots of) different Space Marines from a range of chapters taking on the full range of Warhammer enemies. Yes, playing as a Fire Warrior or Astra Militarum trooper would be cool, but since the game is titled Boltgun, and nailed Astartes combat, here's some suggestions:

Imperial Fists vs. Orks: Warlord Ligmaz and his Bad Moon boys attack an Imperial Fists ship after somehow contacting them to say 'ONLY BAD MOONZ GETS TO BE YELLOW'. The fight rages across the Fists ship, the Ork's Battleship, and finally on the surface of

White Scars vs. Dark Eldar: A raiding party of Drukhari attack a world under the protection of the White Scars, and are pursued across the world, into the webway, and finally into Commorragh, where a surprise party awaits them.

Raven Guard vs. Genestealer Cults: The Inquisition discovers a cult on a critical forge world and seeks the help of the Raven Guard to root them out in a race against time to avoid contacting a hive.

Blood Angels vs. Khornate Demons and World Eaters: Khorne wants 2 legions, and tells Angron that if his lads can't defeat the Blood Angels that he'll abandon the World Eaters. It was a ruse though, as he hopes to make the Angels mad enough that they all succumb to the black rage or just start collecting skulls too.

Salamanders vs. Leagues of Votann: Honestly, I don't know the Votann lore enough to figure out why they'd fight the Astartes, but they seem like they might get along with the Salamanders, so I'm imagining a chaos plot foils a friendly summit between the Space Dwarves and the Friendly green boys.

Blood Ravens vs. Tau: It's a Dawn of War: Dark Crusade rematch! When the ever-covetous Blood Ravens learn that a Tau world has a fully loaded relic storage warehouse, they dispatch a team to retrieve everything that isn't bolted down.

Deathwatch vs. Necrons: A too curious Magos accidentally begins to wake up a whole bunch of Necrons napping under an Imperial Agri-world. Deathwatch are dispatched to bring an end to the awakening before the world is overrun.

Dark Angels vs. Tyrannids: Yes, Dark Angels, as they're closer to where Hive Fleet Leviathan is (I think). I'd settle for Ultramarines, given the 10th edition of 40k just launched, and even Malum Caido again. Anyway, armed with an experimental Mechanicus psy-pulse bomb, the Dark Angels must fight their way to the heart of the swarm^(tm) to attempt to knock out the entire force of Tyrannids assaulting a nearby world.

Space Wolves vs. Thousand Sons and Demons of Tzeentch: Reusable enemies! A classic rematch! A prologue of an aspirant vs. Fenris would be cool.

Custodes vs. Demons of Slaanesh and Emperor's Children: This is cheating, but descriptions of Custodes combat in the Dawn of Fire book series match the fury of the player character in Boltgun exceptionally well. A group of Custodes accompanying Guilleman's fleet discover that a group of Emperor's Children have made planetfall on the unassuming world of Hedonious IV, and intend to corrupt the pious citizenry to follow Slaanesh. Maybe they have a bigger plan, or maybe they just want to party. Perhaps Fabius Bile could make an appearance or even be the final boss, since he has clones and doesn't have to be on his 'last life'.

Finally, Night Lords vs. Aeldari: Given the Guilleman's stance on the Eldar (I'm 2 books behind in Dawn of Fire, hopefully it hasn't changed), it felt wrong to have the Astartes fight them at the moment. However, the hopping into the boots of a Night Lord to fight them would be awesome, given the conclusion of the Night Lords books.

At the beginning of the campaign, it seems likely they have a screen where you could change your character. I’d love to have different warriors from each chapter represented in DLCs.

Bonus points if we could ever get co-op and form the marines into a Deathwatch squad!

World Eaters vs all.

Put two chainaxes in the hands of a capable WE and send them off onto a whole world by themselves. One simple goal, collect blood and skulls for your God.
