Tech-Tree will be available soon

[Ironheaded]

Thank you, OrdoMalleus for contacting me and reviving myself, and the Dawn of Faith mod proposal. I've been in touch with coffeedryad and she's equally pleased. Currently, all we have done and proposed are listed on the Dawn of Faith (dead project) page here...

http://www.evilpixies.org/dawnoffaith/

As you can see, we developed an outline for tech-tree, started some models, and we were waiting for the Toolset to arrive. However, coffeedryad cannot use the toolset on Win98 at all, and I didn't have the time to devote to it like I should have.

If you wish to participate, or already are participating, sound off for yourself. Same standards for DoF as the DH mod.

Toolset studs
Modelling gods
Animations
Texture artistes` (important!!)

Manyly, coffeedryad and I wanted to feature Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) first, then add in Inquisitiors, Henchmen, Repentias, Acro-Flaggelants (Archies), Penitent Engines (Penguins) Zealots (Frothing Maniacs!) Stormtroopers, and IG help aaaalll later on. Since DH mod has done the Stormies and the IG helpers, plus Inquisitorial things, reinventing the wheel isn't needed. Those can be stuffed in the DoF mod later. First.. it's making the Sisters a working force.

Bolters, Meltaguns, Flamers: the holy trinity.
Acts of Faith : the force multiplier

[kanjinan]

Mister Carsten,

Take off my name from your team member ASAP, i left your team.

thks.
Kanjinan.

[Drachenfels]

I loved your Daemon Hunters mod, and I'm sure I'll love your Sororitas mod too. They're my favorite army along with Tau and Necrons. Good luck with the project and hope to see good news from you soon!

[thudmeizer]

Ordo.. yer gonna be able to juggle both Daemon and WitchHunters/Sisters of Battle? Tis alot of work *although* your staff seems quite large. :) You do have "people power" behind you. I'd be interested what units you'll be including with the WH/SoB (ie. Infantry: Canoness, Confessors, Missionaries, Priests, Preacher, Redemptionists, Sister Superior (Hero?).. Vehicles: Exorcist, Immolator, Justice, Repressor.. Uber units: Penitent Engine, Saint Celestine - The Living Saint!! ).

Damn..some good stuff there!

[OrdoMalleus]

thudmeizer:
>Ordo.. yer gonna be able to juggle both Daemon and WitchHunters/Sisters of Battle?

Yes we will otherwise we would not have started the new Ordo.

And we know that more people will join our ranks of the Ordo Hereticus, once
we release the first playable Mod and show you the redesigned tech-tree, based
on the Dawn of Faith data and input from Palii and the Mod team..

> I'd be interested what units you'll be including with the WH/SoB

You will see more clearly as soon as the Tech-Tree is available, this will take
about one week.

Concerning your *Current State of DoW Mods* thread.
I realised that you assoziated us with the
"WitchHunters Older Relic Thread" (stinkyjimmy).
I would like to point out that we have no dealings with this one.

But please remove the Sisters Of Battle - Dawn Of Faith Thread
from the unhealthy mods list and list it under it's new name
"Witch Hunters Mod (Dawn of Faith)" in the healthy mods one.

Hanna:
As a matter of fact the Sisters of Battle models are good looking and so will be our models of them. But I promise that we will not release a Russ Meyer Edition of the Witch Hunters Mod ;-)


KRMZ started rumours that the founding of the Witch Hunters Mod (Dawn of Faith) was some sort of vengeance, because he had plans to start a own WHs Mod.

The true story is that MasterRobertus addressed me and told me that he wants to make some Sororitas models in order to appeal to the Sisters fans out there. We thought about including them in the intended campaign *ups did I really let these words slip*. Thus he started to post in the Dawn of Faith thread. A first reaction was that a community member ByTe started a poll in our private forum if we should include Witch Hunters as well.
At the same time the Sisters of Faith declared their death. At this point – unlike KRMZ – I contacted the former Mod members and ask for permission to use their current work and we got it. Even better, the major forces behind the Sisters seemed to be revived and joined our team and in order not to loose our focus we founded the Ordo Hereticus of our Mod team.

Another point I would like to point out:
The Witch Hunters will be an independent race/mod. With no access to Daemonhunters units, like Grey Knights. But the Mod will be forged by the same Mod team and some additional staff only interested in the Sisters of Battle and the Witch Hunters.

[thudmeizer]

Done. Made changes! Good to hear Sisters Of Battle is reactivated!

[OrdoMalleus]

>Done. Made changes! Good to hear Sisters Of Battle is reactivated!

Thank you. Prepare to hear from us soon ...

[thudmeizer]

The thing about WitchHunters/SoB are the models are soooo bloody detailed. I mean, they're like sculptured Medieval-period Crusaders akin to "works of sci-fi art yet set with amazing religious overtones". Yer gonna need the best modellers/textures in the biz for them! :argh:

[Ironheaded]

Yes, Thudmeiser. I look forward to the challenge!!

[thudmeizer]

<trembles before superior modeller> :beer:

[Nevin]

KRMZ mod looks better... /: But I'll enjoy watching you guys go at it. AHAHHA.

[thudmeizer]

Ahhhm.. KRMZ mod? Pour quoi?

[Drachenfels]

"KRMZ mod looks better... /:"

Mostly because this mod hasn't released any screenshots, hm?

[OrdoMalleus]

Drachenfels:
>Mostly because this mod hasn't released any screenshots, hm?

That's right. The point is that we started the new Ordo two days ago and
KRMZ is working on his Mod for at least two weeks. So give us some time
to organise our new chapter. You will see great improvments soon ;-)

[Hands_of_Fate]

Ordo Malleus - check
Ordo Hereticus - check
Ordo Xenos - ?

With all the galaxy plagued by various alien scum, maybe the time has come to erradicate their presence bringing whole might of the Inquisition to bear. Deathwatch anyone?

[Cable]

There prolly will be an Ordo Xeno mod.... but I think Carsten will wait untik the models and such are released for TT...

If Carsten doesn't make a OX mod then I will :P

[Drachenfels]

Doesn't the Ordo Xenos just have the Deathwatch Marines as an extra? So it would just need to retexture the already exiting Space Marine models to create their main force. Sorry for my ignorance, but I haven't read much about them.

[OrdoMalleus]

Yes, that's right we will wait till GW releases the Ordo Xenos codex. (but they rescheduled it, so it will take some time).

There are already stats for a Deatchwatch Kill Team and Emperor's Champion
(from a Chapters Approved book) but they would only justify a Mini-Mod and that
makes no sense in my point of view.

[Hands_of_Fate]

Hmm, I'm not that much into TT to know that no official models have been released yet. I was just wondering if someone was already thinking about adding Deathwatch Kill Teams to the game. I just love the possible flexibility they could add to any SM force (maybe special ammo for the squad upgraded like Drednought's weapons: only one out of four possible). Just a thought though.

Maybe once sth official is released... One can only hope.
Well, bolter and chainsword would have to suffice for now. Has someone released a Deathwatch skin yet? That would be neat. :bandit:

[OrdoMalleus]

Announcement:
New Witch Hunters Mod website http://www.innocence-proves-nothing.com

http://www.evilpixies.org/dawnoffaith is no longer up to date

[The Emperor]

according to gw, its after nids, which is after a lot of things, which will be about 2006

[Dread]

from what ive heard the eldars are next, then probebly some more imperial stuff ( imp guard and space marines, maybe some SOBs ), then hopefully the nids since they look rediculous in my opinion ( well thouse large ones doesnt but the gene stealers do )
and then maybe the ordo xenos ( if they dont feal like updating another team then )
this is atleast what ive heard

[Brother Lucius]

I'd just like to say your all doing crackerjack jobs, and I hope all this wonky infighting some Modders seem to have will end. These mods are about fun, demmit. You need to start having fun. Or I'll sit on the lot of you (a terrifying fate).

[DBN]

nice new website :)

[Kiratha]

I'd just like to say i'm new to W40K and dawn of war ....but what i've seen from this mod you guys are doing a great job and i hope you keep up the great work :)

[Hive_Node]

i hated ur dh mod it was beyond gay u should not make this mod as another person is making a better version of it with real models and everythign not making a place holder mod because we have enough of them the only gud placeholder mods are adambombs cadian inquisition and of course the thousand sons mod and even all of them are starting to not placehold like adams marneus calgar and the thousand sons men and the demoliser so unless u make some new models just give up waste of a post

[Cable]

Hey shut the fuck up you dickhead. I happen to be in the mof team for the Deamonhunters mod and I'm gonna be involved with the Sisters mod. Just because the DHS mod doesn't have models in yet doesn't mean there aren't any.

have you been to the DHs forums? Obviously not.

[Brother Lucius]

Ignore folks like that. Models are awesome, but the majority of the public understands the ungodly amount of work that goes into a mod. I know I could never do it.

[OrdoMalleus]

hive_node01:
>i hated ur dh mod it was beyond gay u should not make this mod as another person is >making a better version of it with real models and everythign not making a place holder >mod because we have enough of them

YOU know nothing (about us). So how you dare to judge us?!
We are using placeholders in order to check and test our code
and tech-trees, balancing issues,etc.

If you want to play without placeholders wait till we finish the job,
we do not enforce you to play our mod at all.. so if you don't like it
just leace us alone.

[DBN]

Hive_node01 -

what is your problem, you critisise when you havent got all the facts, if you checked out the forums, you would see that the DH mod has some high quality models.

and dont critises if you cannot do any better yourelf, you might be able to do better, but my first impression tells me otherwise.

[Ironheaded]

Deathwatch question: That's a "it would be nice" but it is way low on priorities right now. There are Sister models finalize to my satisfaction, Witchhunter helper units, Inquisitors, and textures to remap and tweak to perfection. (That, and there are some rebellious Stormtroopers who just won't hold an in-game formation without hyperventilating in their masks.)
Sure, I've used Deathwatch Kill Teams in the Table Top game with Sisters of Battle, but as of now, it's a place to finish down the road.

I gotta tell you folks, I'm having a blast with these animations. Relic has provided many great animations for shooting and fighting, but the Toolset and proper programs has given rise to Freedom! You'll see the products of it in Dawn of Faith mod certainly and also in Daemonhunter mod as well.

More laters.

i talked to the guy making the not gay witch hunter mod he said ur all talk

>i talked to the guy making the not gay witch hunter mod he said ur all talk

sorry but I cannot figure out any peace of information in your post
where is the content?

[Sven]

Why is there no report post button in this forum - and better moderators. This guy needs a warning, preferably banning :(

[Xnight]

Just ignore him, he's a moron half his post you can't even understand :fight:

[Drachenfels]

Only half?

[Abyss]

What other mod? I havent seen any mods as flawless as this one, they have already so many models done, are you tooo impaitient to check to the website? When I mean check I don't mean take a glance and spatter in fustration thinking the mod sucks! have you even began to see the team's hard work!?!?! They are working on TWO MODS at the SAME Time yet they display awesome work. You have no right to state that it is complete crap! If you have some grudges then put it in CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. As they stated the placeholders are to TEST the models. It's people like you that get great potential mods destroyed because of things like this.

PS
Please fix your gramar I mean "ur,dh,thign" this stuff is on AIM where people like to be lazy, also read you're thread out loud some of it makes no sense

[Demonhorde]

Well the tech tree looks good, but it also looks to be a uber mod, its just to overpowered. It will never work against other playable races since its just too much. you got like 8+ inf types. And uber powerfull vechiles... how can other races have a chance, its t obad that your not trying to balance it.

[Abyss]

I've tried the Deamonhunters mod, the yare not the strong, really try it they can kill but they will fall and they will fall hard!

[thudmeizer]

Demonhorde.. the WitchHunters ARE NOT overpowered. They're like any other mod and you can be assured you cannot release a game mod that will overpower others. Period. There must be balance or else what is the point of modding. Compromise and creativity are the cornerstones to modding. Having something out-balance another will get fixed FAST as it will immediately turn everyone off. You cannot get passed it in any gaming community.

I'm quite confident that if the WitchHunters and any other modder after all that hard work of moddeling, animating, tech-tree design, weapon/special fxs, sound, etc etc.. will then all of a sudden inbalance all the work against all other DoW civs? Not going to happen..

[gadom]

people are working freely for making mod, after if 2 team made similar things i don't see how it's bad, i play cadian inquisiton and hisrighteous mod of the imperial guard,they are similar but not same, and i really like both.

and this team quite prove that they are able to make something really good, there is a big difference between the 0.15 of ordo malleus, and the 0.5, just test the difference for fun , and you will see.
and sorry for people that dislike the other project (cos of problem or things like this, it's not a professionnal attitude) i'm sure that when the 2 project will go out i will use both.
and i found excellent that team work on different project, cos they could stop and say, well we've finish one, i'm boring :-)
long life to all mod team!
i wish to have an hundred mod for this game, and i think that it's gonna be possible

[OrdoMalleus]

http://media1.funnyjunk.com/pics/dumbpeople.jpg

[Brother Lucius]

Yes, it's a great job your doing. Don't let people like that get you down. For me, the mods are the lifeblood of the game, because the standard game just seems so...boring.

[Assassinorus]

You all might as well ignore Hive Node.... he gave Adam Some grief ages ago and is a total imbecile.... he criticises what he cannot do. if he cant do it he says its gay..... fantastic logic i must say. :fight: :fight:

[DBN]

yeah this hive node, to me seems like some insecure person who is jelious at everyone elses skills and tallents, so is taking his anger out on mod teams, but then his anger backfires as everyone agrees he is an idiot

[Assassinorus]

ive got a fun idea that might give Hive Node some perspective on the MOD situation....... have a vote on MODs.... give Hive Node (or should that be n00b? ) 2 months to make a mod and then have a contest.... say hive n00b's effort against the current release of Daemonhunters or Witch Hunters......

[Hive_Node]

ok here it is ordo malleus is an all talk peice of crapp

and when im talking good about someones mod oh theres nevin the fag come to trample all over me people are ass holes on this forum

:cranky: :muffy:

[Bravus]

you don't show respect to other people and their work... but you expect to be respected by them???
i think not the people are a..holes, there's just something wrong with your attitude.

[OrdoMalleus]

hive_node01 BORING!!!
Lead - follow - or get out of my way...

[Abyss]

Hivenode is it really that hard to spell right? Really you should go back to school and learn how to use proper grammar beacause I really can't understand you're sentence


nevin the fag come to trample all over me people are ass holes on this forum

Hivenoe explain what the heck that means I can't understand it beacause The grammar is terrible

[DBN]

i agree with abyss, what the hell are you on about!!!!!

someone should report this kid, before he hurts himself

[Assassinorus]

or someone hurts him....... :fight:

[Cable]

Hive_node: With the power invested in me by the Emperer I christan you hive n00b.

What a complete, and utter dickhead this person is. He's prolly a 10 year old or something.... (to those who read the TT boards.... you know who 10 year old is don't you :D)

[DBN]

lol hive n00b, has a ring to it doesnt it

[Freelancer]

You know this is kind of pathetic to say the least how can any one criticise a mod just because its a place HOLDER? I mean the amount of work which goes into it by the modders, coders, skinners ect is immense. Hive to be honest you do sound like a little Prick, place holder mods true can be frustrating but they do wet the appetite and Just be happy some one is actually creating Mods.
Any way lads don’t be so open about your views on him (hive that is) just Humour him hes a twat and we all know it no need to ruin his day! :blah:

[OrdoMalleus]

Freelancer I am very tolerant .. but to be honest I hate racists and people who show no respect for others. We all are human beings with our own background and traits.. and each and every person is precious – even hive ;-).
I don't mind if someone tells me that he dislikes the mod. But hive is not even able to
express why he hates us.

By the way it is very interesting that posting in a foreign language is naughty - and a Relic official will show up immediately - but neglecting netiquettes and denigrating minorities repetitive is OK

[Cable]

you should go back to school

I think he's still at school

[Xnight]

Hmm must be still in school,.... Bet he rides the short bus :bandit:

[DBN]

it is quite sad really, that there are people in this forum like him

[Abyss]

This is how you hate a mod well which will help the makers:

I just played the Daemonhunters mod and I don't like it, firstly great attempt for trieng bring the Grey Knights but first I haven't won a game because of the wierd tech tree. Also The Grey Knight Marine in my oponion is a bit weak for how much they cost! I mean in TT they own in CC but in this game they don't get enhanced dammage. I must adimit I am a Tabletop fan So I always see a mod to be fluffy. Also that I don't like it that the henchmen have a Chaos Aspring Champion as there leader. Also that it would be great to see the custom models in. Another thing that bites me is that you can only have one fortress.

That would be ALOT better explanition then "I hte da md cuz it sux"

[Hive_Node]

i dotn expct respect cause i dont need it im like the forum "peasant"

[Assassinorus]

your the forum fucking retard thats for sure.....

[Drachenfels]

Um, could we get back on topic please?

[Hands_of_Fate]

This just looks pathetic. This thread should not be dedicated to problems of one individual with oversized ego. The topic reads: [MOD] Witch Hunters Mod (Dawn of Faith). I was expecting to see some developements on the mod discussed here, not a display of name calling and idiocy. hive_node01, build your own temple and go worship there. I'm really surprised that he mods have not intervened yet. What is the procedure to bring this to their attention? I'm not a frequent poster but a regular visitor and this has clearly gone too far.

Thanks to all who have answered on the topic of the Deathwatch. Someday is better then never :) And thanks to the whole lot of you who are doing something for those without any modding skills (like me). Know that you are appreciated. Cheers.

[wolfshadow]

Gentlemen,

Tried and true internet forum advice:

Please don't feed the Trolls.

[Assassinorus]

sorry sorry my bad..... but he keeps on ripping the shit out of oter peoples MODS and he needs to be told..... dont knock it till you can do it yourself.

[DBN]

yes i thing we should ignore this punk and get back on topic

[Sven]

Would be nice if the moderators did something about him - I reported one of his more abusive posts to all the mods for this forum and nothing was done :( they havent even read the PMs i sent, and it was a good few days ago.

[OrdoMalleus]

Well in fact things are getting out of control

Today at 15:04 I got a Skype call from a dummy account “anto30” from a French speaking asshole who told me that he want to “burn my di**”

This shows me that a none Zero-Tolerance approach is not working. And that the kid has far too much time – this is an “unofficial, unpublished account”! Masturbate or get yourself a boy friend at the next station or bus stop.

BUT STOP WAISTING MY TIME!

Well the abuse has already been reported to Skype and I hope they will take more drastic actions to keep their system clean. I am not sure if hive_node01 is logging in with a French provider account, but if so I demand that Relic is banning him immediately..

OrdoMalleus

[DBN]

how did he get your skype name?

[OrdoMalleus]

well he was not too billiant, he just tried the most obvious nickname ;-)

[DBN]

oh lol, ok :) i understand

[Assassinorus]

anyway back on topic.... how is the MOD coming along?

[OrdoMalleus]

Assassinorus:
>anyway back on topic.... how is the MOD coming along?

Hi guys, if you take a look at the Daemonhunters MOd you will understand
why we are not posting anyrthing about the Sisters..
BUT from this Thursday the full force of the Holy Inquisition Mod team
will focus on the Witch Hunters Mod. And as you can see from "other"
projects we are quite capabale to do some good lokking stuff ;-)

Stay tuned .. and bear with us

[DarkJedi]

Copycats

[RoNsTaR]

senseless rant ?

[Serpentine]

Both this and the DH mod you guys are making look awesome. I'm amazed you can juggle both at once; I look forward to a playable alpha. Anyway, yeah, keep up the good work, and don't let the trolls get you down.

[Bezu]

maybe DarkJedi, you haven't heard that the DH and WH mod teams have merged for the greater good? unless you are talking about something else...if not, please enlighten us.

[griffon252]

So, When can we download the Sisters of Battle mod? If it is out already then where can we download it?

enter the page and take a look around instead :P

and no greater good in the empire, only for the emperor :D

[Lord-Solar]

Looking back over this thread i have an overwhelming sense of pitty in the Ordo's Mod team... The fact that they want to make a free kik-A$$ game for all to enjoy and those people have the nerve to stomp them. So what if Krmz has a mod there can be more than ONE mod out there. (They had prblems with him anywayz)
The reason why there not making progress is because there finishing off there seventh release yep thats rigth SEVEN releases with new models and animations compared to so many other peoples IDEA threads...

So keep up the awsome work guys :beer:

Uhm, there's progress, the Dawn-Team just don'T want to advertise it like the other team, I'm sure that both Mods will have their own gameplay and characteristics.

[Bolter Target]

Yah..

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Seemed appropiate :)

[loop]

So what exactly is the plan for this mod, anyways? Are you guys just going to spring a fully working and balanced WH mod on us one day that'll make everyone say "OMG where'd this come from!?!" and "much better than the other WH mod!!"? Can't really understand the reason behind not giving anyone any updates on your progress. Its not like the other team would copy you guys or anything like that.

Its just really unfortunate that one mod's inevitably going to be better than the other and be the one that people dl and the other team's work would've been in vain. It would be nice if you guys could forget the past and work together but I guess there's just too much shit between the two teams still.

[thudmeizer]

Yeaa I never really understood the reason for duplication especially dupping on a grand scale like faction mods! I mean, as Loop mentions it just seems like an utter waste to try to do the same thing UNLESS you plan to totally go a seperate offshoot of the WitchHunters/SoB. With Imperial Guard there are different divisions but other civs are pretty much cut and dry. But.. if thats the way it'll be thats the way! I'll support both sides as they'll both offer their own versions of the SoB!

[Ghoyst]

Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends.


'Nuff said.

[thudmeizer]

We are! We are! Just sometimes we don't quite know why we are? :) Anyway, I look forward to both projects. Your competition (Adepta Sororitas), however, has a major leg up so it'll be interesting what you guys have humming under da hood! hehehe.

[soldit]

i really thik that this mod is starting to be a bit obsolete. I mean, even if it is as good as the other witch mod, that one has so much advertising and promotion (i mean on dowfiles and this forum) that its bound to be more popular. The only way i can see this mod being viable is if it is included in the demin hunters mod rather than as a stand alone. Otherwise, as has been stated before, one teams work will probably be wasted.......

[Varath]

Ahhh, at least the troll(s) have found something else to amuse themselves with.

Nice looking mods, being a chaos player i look forward to SMASHING YOUR MODS INTO OBLIVION!

i mean...nice work...

Cool DH 0.7.

With sisters of battle!

[WalkerK19]

Oh yeah, I enjoyed the seraphim squads. Good work. Somehow the number of weapon upgrade is less than raptor squad.

[Ironheaded]

I have no idea why the Raptor squad is allowed that many special weapons. I selected 2 upgrade slots staying with the Table Top ruleset. And 2 inferno pistols is enough murder, isn't it?

[Ironheaded]

And now I can post things.

Damn! Imagine the two WitchHunters/SoB Mods (Dawn Of Faith and Adapteus Soroitas) will be quite awesome competiting against one another on the field of war! Both bring their own flavours and the work looks commercial-grade on both ends! Bravo to your team! So much amazing talent and committed members all across the globe!!

[Xnight]

Just a reminder! we've got some great screen shots over at the forums :)

Hi again, Faithful.

Posting some eye candy here for all to see. "Emperor James" did some astounding in-game video editting of units for Dawn of Faith and guest starting Steel Legion units. The link is here.. Emperor Protects (http://files.filefront.com/Dawn_of_Faith_Mod_Trailer/;3839739;5;/fileinfo.html)

[SammyG]

agree with thudmeizer, who cares if we have two different takes on the sisters of battle? both teams have produced some beautiful work independent of each other, doesn't seem that a little competition has harmed either mod.

As for the seraphims, I have to say that I found them a little over powered (with the melta pistol add ons I found that one unit of seraphims completely owned a squad of banshees, which I seem to remember tt wise should be a faitly even match up - correct me if i'm wrong). Of course, I understand that a whole pile of balancing work is still to be done by the mod team and I'm sure that these things will be ironed out.

Regarding the Daemon Hunters mod, although i understand the appeal of the fluff-faithful over-arching uber mod which delivers everything available within the codex, having played 0.7 i can't help but feel that the mod would benefit from being divided into three separate armies. I like the idea of the Steel Legion/Grey Knights/Sisters of Battle units complimenting each other, but organising such an army within the Dawn of War tech trees/army structures just seemed a little too clumsy. Perhaps it would encourage more interesting team play if in team games each player could choose a different aspect of the daemon hunters and play his army's strengths and weaknesses off his team mate's DH army (like grey knights sturdy infantry backed up by steel legion armour or what have you).

Just some food for thought, keep up the great work, and that Exorcist model looks superb :)

[turbotj]

DUDE!!!!!! I LOVE IT ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!! Man I can't wait to try this out when you guys have it done. I always wanted to try using SOB but didn't want to pick up all the minatures.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE DOW..........I can play all the armies I always wanted and I don't have to spend a fortune on minatures and paint. :D :beer: :clap: :yippee: :jig: :guitar: :bow2:

[Ironheaded]

SammyG - Yes you covered all the right points on the negatives for the DH 0.7. We've released alot of different unit types, a few weapons, and a ball of confusions. We *are* still a beta and therefore it's very easy for us sample all the feedback, make adjustments and re-try it. Thanks for your understanding, feedback, and support.

Seraphim vs. Howling Banshees - I've done that battle on TT in a tournament. Banshees can win those fights if Seraphim do not have Acts of Faith (Spirit of the Martyr) running or the power weapons will slaughter the Sisters. So your example will have game balance merits for DoW. I guess in your fight of Seraphim-Banshees.. those inferno pistols got a few ranged shots in before HTH. (in HTH, there isn't much value to a ranged weapon type, though the animations do happen when trooper runs to new ememy model.)

Inquisitional Mods - yes, already working on making divisions of the mods. The strongest point is about multiplayer: a GK/DH player teamed with a Sororitas/OH player would look and fight correctly in accord to game fluff. Mixing them all up is our most frequent critism... so it is getting addressed since the release last week. Tech-tree elements and goals for Dawn of Faith (ordo hereticus) is Sisters of Battle, Witchhunter Inquisitors, retinues, stormtroopers, and the rest of ecclesiactical units (things TT requires a priest for) Adding ImpGuard to this mod would oh.... make the map full of models? Nah, there will be large units of Sisters rivalling Guard platoons, still with the weakness of long range anti-tank killing power. (guess the HK missles are needed on vehicles, neh?) In conclusion... definately expect stand-alone mods in the futures, keeping the Ordo's specialized and or some overlaps. For now, enjoy the "allies" modules.

Actually, that sounds somewhat similar to what we have planned.

Of course, Dawn of Faith will have to get a bit more advanced before it can be split off into its stand alone version.

[Ironheaded]

Yes, Morat.. you know it... just letting others know it two since Dawn of Faith thread was soooooo hush-hush for months

[Abyss]

Question, Dont play Witch Hunters but I find it odd that they use pistols and slap enemies with em, don't they have Chainswords?

[OrdoMalleus]

Abyss:
>but I find it odd that they use pistols and slap enemies with em
that is a special ability of the Seraphims they can use their pistols
as two close comat weapons in the Codex .. so watch out if you
want to go hand-to-hand with these ladies ;)

[DBN]

amazing movie. the movies keep getting better and better :)

I've installed Nimo Codec Pack and Media Player 10 I think.
What do I have to do to watch this movie?

[thudmeizer]

Quickly got around to seeing the new trailer! WoooooooW! Love all the close-combat anims from the Sisters! Lots of nice touches! Can't imagine all the superb work you guys are doing + more to come (especially Grey Knight Termintors! Yummm!).. Just an amazing team ya fellows have! Keep it up.. doing beyond commercial-grade work!!

[Nevin]

I tried out the little "preview" in the Daemon Hunters mod, and most say I'm impressed (Especially when they lift off and do all the twirls and stuff, that was pretty damn sweet.) But... Compared to your other models I'm just a bit worried that you guys aren't putting the same time and thought as you did into say the Steel legion units. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting you. You could do a much better job then me.

[thudmeizer]

I take it, Nevin, you mean the SoB models? I think those are still work-in-progress in the texture department. I mean, they do look bright-red and all but give the DM team time to mature their mod. Everything is in flux.

[Ironheaded]

If you can, get a copy of Media Player Classic. It supports pretty much everything natively, and loads in the blink of an eye too.

[valthemu]

This Dawn of Faith is a really good movie.

I got to hand it to the modders - you guys are awesome!!!!

[Giovanni]

Daemonhunters mod rules... Confusing (lotsa new units and options), but fun. Especially the new tanks rule, i was getting bored with the SM preds and Dreads... THQ should learn from this. Making a new expansion and all that but won't be released until fall, with just 1 new race...

[MrChaos]

You never know what Relic will release... I have high hopes for the Winter Assault expansion...

[DBN]

yeah, the WI looks very good

[Mephet'ran]

I'm sorry, but I'm about to cry. I have built EVERY unit and built EVERY building on the Fallen City map and CAN'T BUILD THOSE SERAPHIM!!!?! No new building pop up, no new units show in any of the buildings, and i have a relic and 6 strategic points. Where are they??????

in the V0.7 ;)

Are you sure you have the correct Daemonhunters Mod version?

I can't get the Seraphim either, and I've removed it and reinstalled it 2 or 3 times. It's really annoying, they look so cool. :boohoo:

Highlights Daemonhunters Mod v0.75 – Tech Tree Update (23.04.05)

The Daemonhunters Mod now offers you two races:
• Ordo Malleus (Grey Knights + Steel Legion)

Find out more about the upcoming release - new Tech Trees:

[thudmeizer]

You guys aren't putting in GK Termies that soon though? Doing the work for those will take time. Otherwise, you guys are doing just killer work. Like a venerable corporation!!

[Dalveldrin]

Witch hunters army with Grey Knights?

[{+}MaRioNuKe]

I was wondering how the models for the assassins were coming also I had some sugestions for the vindicare well basicly some questions I like how he can infiltrate but what is his spymask supossed to do also why doesn't the fighting Assassin have any specail abilities have you tried useing a speed boost possibly I love this mod the models are awsome i don't think I would have been able to take the time to do that level of detail (I'm in college ATM)

well anyways awsome mod just wondering how it's coming

[JaqTaar]

The Daemonhunters Mod now offers you two races:
• Ordo Malleus (Grey Knights + Steel Legion)
• Ordo Hereticus (Grey Knights + Sororitas + Assassins )

I assume (and hope) that the Grey Knights will cease to be part of the Ordo Hereticus as soon as the other Sororitas units will be implemented.

[OrdoMalleus]

Ordo Hereticus IS NOT Dawn of Faith

but Daemonhunters with Witch Hunters as Allies .. thus it is mainly a Daemonhunters Mod.
Dawn of Faith will be a "Faithfull Mod" based on Witch Hunters but with emphasis on Adeptus Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) and NO Grey Knights.

Once Ironheaded is online again he will tell you more about this issue .. stay tuned.

[Crow]

sorry to bring this up again, but i kinda missed the point the talk about KRMZ's adepta sororitas mod (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=54671&page=5&pp=15&highlight=sisters+battle)
what happened to it? did you resolve your differences or will there be two mods with sisters of battle?
i added that link to the tread because i saw someone said that there is no screenshots of his mod. just curious to know whats coing on.

[Hive_Node]

whatever happened to the good mod of witchunters with a guy who animated good cant find it

Unintelligible, no punctuation, not worth answering.

[Xnight]

Cerberus : No the two mods are seperate and will remain that way, mainly besides the bad feeling between some of the members of both teams, The Dawn of Faith team has a very different Idea of play style. The (Witchhunters mod by Krmz) will feature alot of the arbites, We will be sticking to mainly Sororitas/ Witch hunter Codex

and both teams will have a very different use of the Acts of Faith :)

Hive: As far as I know The (Witchhunters mod by Krmz) was the one your talking about, and Im not sure if they have a true animator or they are X refing the animations
And no they havn't released anything yet, do a forum search.

[Crow]

Thanks for the heads up, Xnight.

[goldo_O]

Hive: As far as I know The (Witchhunters mod by Krmz) was the one your talking about, and Im not sure if they have a true animator or they are X refing the animations

Of course we have coz we won't be able to Xref relic's animations for units such as arcos, repentias, aso... :)

[chaos_hunter]

I admit to not having read the whole thread (yet, i'm getting there tho ;)). But just wanted to say i've followed the mod from one of its early incarnations and quite enjoyed the demonhunter mod (its certainly influcenced me to go DH on the tabletop game) and wish you all the best of luck with the witch-hunter one too. certinally lookingforward to it as a witch hunter player on TT.

Good luck guys and thanks for inspiring me to get to work on learning the mod tools.

oh yeah and thanks for releasing a 1.3 compatible version so soon ;)

[thudmeizer]

Is there any news on this Mod? Seems kinda quiet for the longest time. They'll make good competition for Adaptus Soriatias. :D

[Xnight]

Well we still are working on it. :) But due to both Ironheaded(Dawn of Faith Team Lead) & me working on the Daemonhunter Mod. Iron working on the grey knight animations, and me helping the change over to 1.3 compatable. The progress has slowed down for a little bit. ;)

Thats the trouble with multi mod teams ;) always twice the work :P

But it wont be too long before we are back to fullspeed and give some Updates!

[thudmeizer]

Xnight.. stick with the DHs first! GreyKnight Termies have priority! :D :D Most gorgeous looking armoured suits around!!!! Get DH all fixed up nice-like then go onto Dawn Of Faith.

DH needs all the attention it can get so don't multitask too much or yer liable to burn out. Concentrate on one thing and quality assurance will be maintained!

[Xnight]

Yup, thats why there was no news, :)

[CyberSargent]

GK TERMIES!? WHERE!?

BTW who likes my sig?

[thudmeizer]

There coming! :D One of the best parts of DaemonHunters cometh! Ewww <shakes in them there booties!!!> Sometimes nothing looks cooler than a GK Termie! heheh

[inquistor_c]

[Finaldeath]

Moving to the Mods in Progress forum...

[Botswana]

Just kind of curious...

On the Ordo Xenos, why don't they have access to the Steel Legion? I'm not up-to-date on my WH40K, but wasn't the Steel Legion reknown as Ork fighters?

[ironclawed1]

I love you guy's. seriosely u have put out one of my favorite mods, please make models for grey knight termies they are my favorite models in the demon hunter army, and i would love to see them in the game.

[loop]

Is this mod still alive? I know the other one is: http://dofw.free.fr/phpBB2/index.php

[Typhoon GX]

Yes, but it's hardly ever updated.

[Ironheaded]

Hellos again, folks. Time for a better update, neh?

Since I've worked on the Daemonhunters mod, they get priority on my animation time. We will see Grey Knight Terminators before new Sisters. Unfortunately, my real life has been just chaos.. I should have never moved twice in one year! But... I shall never give in to Chaos!!

What we have is a two pronged workload
1) getting the mod 1.4 compatible. That's where I turn things over to Xnight to be the boss.
2) Updating models. I felt that the Seraphim models carried way too high a polycount than needed and the cloakwork attached to the legs. With a new base model of Sisters, the Seraphim and Celestians will get done VERY fast. Rigging is already done. Any stellar texture artist is welcome to contact me to expedite things.

[thudmeizer]

Excellent news! Ordos has been heading the DH, DH: SoB, and DH: DW and its good to hear news on progress. GK Termies ! ! ! ! The whole community is looking forward to some amazing new models and game features from your faction(s). Bravo ! ! !

[MrChaos]

The Return of Ironhead! Never give in to the foul forces of Chaos!

[AkumA05]

I notice that the last post about this wicked looking mod is over a year ago.

Gold edition is flying of the shelf, come on guys i goggled Real life once its not that important.

Make a 1.4 and 1.41 version PLEASE. 0.8 doesn't work for them.

[soldit]

erm..... You realise that there is a different WH:AS mod and that one is still alive and kicking.....
