[Finaldeath]

Stay on topic or you'll be banned from the thread, I honestly can't be bothered to keep warning you all the time.

[Col.Blitz]

Maybe I'm spamming but what with Eldars??

[Warlord Skrakar]

Yeah,really-what can we expect for Eldar and Orks?And what about that website?

[medes]

website? you're way off course.
I left a super spoiler in one of the stickies somewhere in this forum, if you're up to looking in every single one, you might find what you're looking for and put an end to this guessing game

[DEEP666]

will there be commander shadowsun in the final mod?

[SpaceMarineFan]

LET TEH HUNT BEGIN!

[Warlord Skrakar]

Graaaah!By Gork and Mork,God Emperor,C`tan and four Chaos Gods,will anybody help a friend in need?!

[Lprsti99]

Heh, sounds promising (medes, it didn't take all that long to find, but then again, I didn't bother searching every sticky :P)

SMF out!

[Methuselath]

Well, Medes, technically, you have your own ( ;) ) forum, and sub-forum for C2C, seeing as- well.... you know. :jig:

So, it's not that of course, but that's not it either. The forum/website is just a side effect. :nervous:

[medes]

Hrmm.... looks like MK already announced this so i guess i should too then.

[Jinxter78]

So, what is the answer for the obvious question?
Days, weeks, months?
::):

[medes]

June most probably

[Mirage Knight]

Trust us - it'll be well worth the wait :)

[WolverineB]

Thats great news guys, congratulations. I kinda guessed that was gonna be the announcement as I was hoping you would start working together. Now all you've got to do is convince all the other mods to allow you to convert them to the DOW40k Firestorm rules. Can't wait.

[Jinxter78]

I´m sure it will be, I just regret uninstalling DOW for DC, its no fun playing DC without Dow40k. :puppy:

Just remember, real life isn´t all that great.
:dunce: :awesome:


WolverineB:
Jup, we can hope! It would require alot less balancing too.
:dance:

[Airborneork]

i was wondering why its been so long since a Dow40K release. 2 great mods working together cant go wrong. does this mean that there will be a skirmish/multiplayer element as well now?

[Mirage Knight]

Hell yes :D

[medes]

yes, in skirmish/multiplayer you play the races balanced in general. While in Singleplayer Campaign you play as the factions involved in the battle of Kronus. Word Bearers, Blood Ravens..ect.

What's the difference you ask? Playing the Blood Ravens in the DC campaign means you will be deprived of the Mortis dread/Predator Anihilator/Land Raider Crusader you get in skirmish but you receive an stealthy advantage as Blood Ravens Tac and Dev squads may cloak.

Another example is the Word Bearer, in the DC campaign you will be deprived of your Rubric Marines/Noise Marines/Plauge Marines/Bezerkers as well as the ability to choose a chaos mark but in return you can field all daemon choices at a higher number and also you get a Dark Apostle as a Lord. Note: In skirmish you don't get DAs. Also in the Campaign all CSM and they're equipments will be properly decorated in WB style.

We still haven't decided on how Clan Gorgutz will fight, so thats still open for discussion.

[Warlord Skrakar]

:Wakes up since last post:
I`m OK.I`m OK.What`s this?DoW40k:Firestorm?Happyness overwhelming...can`t resist...
:faints again:
:10 Orca-Colas later:
This is great news!I love this course of action!

Aaawww,poor Gorgutz...

[Lprsti99]

June?... Ouch!

No chance of a quick and dirty port of DoW40K to DC? Im dyin here :P I WANT BIG TANKS :cry:

[|[TDR]|Myna]

4 months ouch thats quite a while but hopefully as you say it will be worth the wait =D

[SpaceMarineFan]

Normal blood ravens marines should have librarians as a normal unit, with lower armor, heath, damage, and powers.
Marines should be slightly more powerful, as they are running low on recruits.


Gorgutz should swarm with tons of units, some tanks, but mostly Boyz.

[Airborneork]

it will be worth it. its a whole new campaign and then when you finish that a mod with tons of new things in it.

[Capt_PooFace]

wow, june, i thought it would be later than that. oh well, sounds like a good birthday present for me!!!

[Warlord Skrakar]

For Clan Gorgutz,it could be half normal Ork clan,half feral Ork clan(cinematic says that he rounded up some feral Ork clans).And maybe some Grotz gangs and Squig herds.Maybe even Gorgutz could gather some clanless Orks or maybe exiles from other bigger clans(Bad Moons,Goffs,Death Skulls,Evil Sunz).

But most important thing that every single Ork in Gorgutz` clan prefers close combat(build limits for Shoota Boyz,Flash Gits and new ranged units).

[MEGAzogg]

Oh hell... I hate you medes! To condemn me for such torment as you have, it is so inhuman! I was hoping to play with this mod a bit earlier... But, if you have to take another 4 months to do this mod i can imagine how great it will be at the end.

[ChaosReigns]

Normally I would wet myself(because I LOVE DoW40k)but I have to say I'm a little concerned. I was so looking forward to playing as Word Bearers in skirmish, with their wargear and wide variety of daemons. So you can't play as campaign races in skirmish? Will you at least be able to play Undivided in skirmish?
failing that will we at least be able to use the new units and wargear in skirmish? All those daemons...wasted...sigh.

Heh, I couldn't help but notice that you got the apostle thing right(I think that's something only I would notice, lol)
ie. Dark Apostle not Black Apostle.

Also medes, apparently the Blood Ravens are led by their many psykers, would it not make sense then to make the Librarian the primary hero in campaign, and the one who gets all of the wargear?

He could start off with a power sword and eventually have a force weapon and terminator armour which requires all other upgrades(or something like that). Just for the record more a suggestion then a request.

[Tiresias]

I'm sure they'll find a way of getting Word Bearers in as you want.

[Mirage Knight]

Oh Undivided armies are definitely in Skirmish.

Just click on Mark of Chaos Undivided and you'll have access to Raptors, Obliterators, etc...Any choices that are allowed in a normal Undivided TT army will be allowed in the mod.

[medes]

All those daemons...wasted...sigh.
how so? You can still get Daemonattes/BloodLetters/Furies/Fleshhounds/Warhounds/Plauge Bearers/Horrors in skirmish, you get to choose your mark

[Gorb]

Don't worry about Word Bearers as a Chapter-based mod. They'll be around soon enough :)

[|[TDR]|Myna]

taking ChaosRiegns are you plsnning to have a terminator armour upgrade in the wargear? because that would be seriously cool.

[Warlord Skrakar]

Well,though Blood Ravens are psyker chapter,Davian Thule is just a FC,so it would maybe be a plot hole if he would be transforned into Librarian.

Since you`re adding the choice of Chaos Marks,are you going to add something similar for other factions?

[caprera]

Is there a possibility to have an alternative to Cadians for IG ?

[medes]

no it'll take too much time to make another IG army, i don't want to have to push the release till next year so we'll give multiple doctrines instead

[ade]

what are doctrines?? sorry im stupid lol. and what about necrons? is it just going to be nightbringer for both skirmish and campagne? Because you could have the deciever for one, you would only have to change one model or could maybe use the old monolith for one? Maaaybe the deciever can get multiple old monoliths but theyre no where near as powerful and they raise a pylon? plus i dont like the necron turrets, you could re-do them if you done this, the one from exclipse of existance look so much nicer plus its a dead mod so maybe theyll let you use that one. sorry just some ideas, that would be alot of work to do sorry.

[caprera]

no it'll take too much time to make another IG army, i don't want to have to push the release till next year so we'll give multiple doctrines instead
I understand , btw instead of something like Tallarns maybe use some existing IG mods like Armageddon Steel Legion or the upcoming Elysians ?

[Tiresias]

atm the IG get three doctrines, Infantry Platoon, Armoured Company and Witch Hunters. The first gets a huge swarth of troops, second more emphasis on tanks (although you can still get tanks with the others, just not as many as I understand it) and Witchhunters get grey knights, inquisitor dude and some special abilities.

[medes]

Witch Hunter doctrine also gets Eversor Assassin

[DEEP666]

medes can you post here wire in 3dmax of any commander, i am trying to make shadowsun myself but i don't know the number of polygons that is normal for game, thx

[medes]

pretty off topic but whatever, max polycount for a commander is bout 10,000 triangles

[Warlord Skrakar]

Where`z dose boyz?We `ave a Waaagh `ere!Why`z dey late?I`z gonna stomp sumone good if`n dey don`t show up!Hey,you grot!Gimme Orca-Cola!

As Capt PooFace said,this would be nice birthday present(now you have two birthday boys to satisfy).

[Worsle]

If they have the grey knights would that not be a daemonhunnter doctrine rather than witchhunters who have the sisters.

[SpaceMarineFan]

Grey knights fighting the marines? They would rather turn on the guard than fight other loyal marines...

[Worsle]

Not really the grey knights have been used to wipe out marine chapters in the past. Things are more dependent on the inquisitor and that does seem like it would be better in a guard army. Will the inquisitor have any type of retinue?

[SpaceMarineFan]

They wiped out heritic marine chapters!

[Worsle]

If you are getting in the way of an inquisitor you are heretical enough.

[Warlord Skrakar]

Uuuh,guys,use PM.I agree on Worsle`s basis,and in opening cinematic for SM it`s said that those relics they found,could be even tainted(not prooved,but probable).

[jeffs111]

look at this medes http://www.sphaerentor.com/wh40k/index.php?file=archiv.php&id=1752 (http://www.sphaerentor.com/wh40k/index.php?file=archiv.php&id=1752) you could use some of this for weapon upgrades or maybe honour guards for mayb the vespids because there commander is pretty normal just with a mask theres some cool robots there and see if you can use the tau mods farsight model for an honour guard aswell. i hope you look at this cheers

[Divinatus]

While the Grey Knights are honest to god soldiers of the Emperor, if you are doing somthing heretical, your bad. Your my brother, and your a heretic? Bullshit, he's dead with a seconds hesitation. <-- And that would be talking a literal brother here people!

A little mishap in making the grey knights an SM unit in the vanilla DC. They would be able to clearly tell that the Marines are covering somthing up. The IG are just following Orders. The GKs would probably report this to their superiors, and, in turn, an Inquisitor would be there to survey the scene...

days later...

"John, add another Chapter to the Excommunicate Traitoris section."
"Okay."

[Finaldeath]

This mod has been merged with the Dawn of Warhammer 40k mod, according to medes, who wants tihs thread closed.

Man, its huge, 1300+ posts, hehe.

Locked.
