[MOD] Dawn of Warhammer 40K:Firestorm

[medes]

This mod is the result of a merging between the two mods Dawn of Warhammer 40K and C2C:Firestorm over Kronus.

To sum up, what this mod does is:

The basic idea is that all units and weapon upgrades cost req and buildings, with the exception of HQ’s, Power Gens, and LP’s, cost power. In addtion, weapons like Power Klaws and Lascannons which punch through infantry saves with panache in TT will do exactly that in this mod. Almost everything has been converted over. Toughness / Wounds to HP...armour and invulnerable saves...weapon Strength vaules...even points to req costs.

With this system it’s far easier to add in and balance new units and weapons - and every unit feels like it’s worth every point spent on it.

Other than that we're also delivering a closer to codex and fluff campaign redux. This time round, when you're setting Kronus on fire you'll get to choose to lead one of the following factions; Blood Ravens, 1st Kronus Liberators, Word Bearers, T'au Sept, Clan Gorgutz, Ulthwe Craftworld or the Kronus Necrons. Each faction with their own traits not available in skirmish or multiplayer.

NOTE: The current beta version is not yet compatible with DC single player campaign, we're loking to polish multiplayer and skirmish first.

[AshaD]

Ah so this was the big surprise. But wait....This means more waiting *sniff*

[Exemplar]

So will we still be able to download the individual models like in the previous C2C?

[Kou Uraki]

O_O EXCELLENT publicity promo!!!! Cant wait for this!!!!

[ChaosReigns]

Awesome! Can't wait!

[Kronos]

Great job guys,it makes the community feel more like a community when great modders pool their efforts together,it can only be good.

[Promythyus]

Ah so this was the big surprise. But wait....This means more waiting *sniff*

Or.... Maybe..... More Staff! Therefore, Work is Quicker!

OMG! It'll Come out Quicker!

Anyway,YAYZ for Mod! It's Looking real good (especially the DoW40k: Firestorm Logo)

[Davor]

Oh sweet torture, I didn't think I could want Firestorm to be released any more then I already did, but now I do. Great news! Keep up the good work guys, really looking forward to this mod.

[Uniforce]

wheee.... with this news DoW's 3rd expansion will be even better
Yes, that means that i consider the work being done by these mod teams least equal to relics...

[DarknessKnight]

Best of luck from the Utramarines Courage and Honour MOD.

[D-coy]

Oi, this is great news indeed!

Now hurry up with that mod. J/k (excited)

Cheers

[Boruta01]

i doubt that you will finish this mod marvel till holidays, but i will wait patiently.

[Duken]

We are DoW40k:Firestorm. Resistance is futile. Your gameplay experience will be adapted to our improved visuals and gameplay experience.

I do believe this says it all.

i doubt that you will finish this mod marvel till holidays, but i will wait patiently.

Which holiday? There is at least a dozen. As a bonus the ones marked on the calanders over here in the States are Christian and Jewish; while Medes is Muslim. So there are even more holidays then the one's I'm familiar with.

[StalkerEST]

Holy ****!
This is a godlike merge. I hope to see this bad boy in action soon.

[VenerableDread]

Now this is what DC should be like! Keep up the good work!

I think that Boruta is talking about summer holidays. And it's great too know that this two great mods merged

[skills]

Heh loving the logo can't wait.

[Warlord Skrakar]

Woot Woot!
It`z time fer Waaagh!

Have you thought of something for Clan Gorgutz?(please,let it be Goff fight style)

[Methuselath]

I think that Boruta is talking about summer holidays. And it's great too know that this two great mods merged

Technically in Malaysia we don't have summer holidays, all we get is the end year holidays, or if you're in college, end of semester holidays.

[SpaceMarineFan]

Nice! Are the space marines kick-ass now?

[Cheesenium]

Will you implement the ai mod?

Anyway,happy chinese new year everyone!!!!

[Sgt.Roadkill]

good to see, good luck guys and can't wait to try this out.

After DC i used to play Dawn of WH40k, good to see two good mods joined

[ade]

ok i know the C2C mod but iv never played the WH40k mod, can anyone tell me any balance changes this will have on the mod, and what models does the WH40K mod actually have? thnx id appriciate it

[Boruta01]

yeach, 3rd expansion to DOW !!!
Relic made great game for almost everyone who likes RTS, but I'm TT player and I always feel like something is mising in DOW, than WA with broken IG and weak campaign, DC was much better but still far away from what it should be.
most mods in this forum will never be finished, i just hope that Medes and MK (and rest of the team) will have strength to finish DoW40k:FS. (i'm too old to be optimist)

btw. NO SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN MALAYSIA ??? why ??? poor poor malaysians

[SpaceMarineFan]

yeach, 3rd expansion to DOW !!!

Could you please be more clear? Do you mean relic is revealed something about the new Warhammer game?

If so...*climbs in tank* YEAAAHHHH!

[Feil]

He's likening the DoW40k project to a 3rd expansion out of a sense of general enthusiasm.


Does the DoW40k:F team still intend to make a parallel version of DoW40k 1.0 that is compatible with Winter Assault as they did with the DoW40k:OF, or has this been abandoned with the merger of the mods and the leadership / staff shifts?

[RaiDK]

Wow, godlike merge indeed! I'll buy Dark Crusade as soon as this comes out

[holyknight]

oh god this is gonna make me piss my pants!

I think it's safe to say that the WA version have been abandoned, due to the many changes made in the core gameplay/concept, such as IG doctrine balance and Codex-like Command Squads. Most of them used the changes brought forth from DC, going back would mean a serious overhaul of the core balance.

[Duken]

Core balance? It's all bases off the TT balance; so there shouldn't be any core balance.

*revelation*
It's the perminate infiltrate isn't it?

[Mirage Knight]

Infiltration and branching research mainly. Core balance such as HP, cost, damage and AP would be unaffected.

We'd also have to leave out the units that DC added, not to mention Necrons and Tau.

[Tiresias]

Considering the effort that goes into getting one version of the mod out trying to get two out would merely delay both. The branching tech trees will be a huge change that should bring out a load of new gameplay.

[Methuselath]

Infiltration and branching research mainly. Core balance such as HP, cost, damage and AP would be unaffected.

Heh, yeah, sorry for the misleading post

What I meant to say is, core changes, like the command squads, branching tech trees and stuff that should change the whole style towards a more TT like incarnation. Man that's a mouthful...

[SpaceMarineFan]

Hmmm..... an update would be nice :/

[Cheesenium]

Just asking,is this mod going to be more TT oriented?

Also,will you be using the ai mod?

[CadianShocker]

ok never played this mod before, i was looking forward to firestorm as being a normal mod, but this joint mod sounds cool.

i take it once the mod is released so will the models i thought i heard someone say that. i could be wrong.

[Warlord Skrakar]

I`m starting to loose interest due to the lack of orkyness.

Is there anything new for you guys to show us?Even some kind of a teaser or a spoiler would be nice.Please?(I`m starting to be pathetic)

Other than that,which one of the factions is next on the list to be "redone"?

[medes]

Just asking,is this mod going to be more TT oriented?

Not so much like Zany's TT round up, if you've played DoW40K before, it's more or less like that, a cross between TT, fluff and improvisation

Also,will you be using the ai mod?

Yes, thudmeizer has offered to do AI work

i take it once the mod is released so will the models i thought i heard someone say that. i could be wrong.

well, since we're redoing most of the models in the game, i'm not planning to release every single one of them individually. Just download the mod and most of them are up for grabs

I`m starting to loose interest due to the lack of orkyness.

indeed, there's also a lack of eldar, necrons and ig.

[Mirage Knight]

You forgot the holier than thou Space Marines and the ruinous powers of Chaos

[John1918]

Very interesting development, I will be looking forward to this mod.

A little more Table Top in your life is always good, especially if you can't afford the real thing.

-John

[Zany Reaper]

Not so much like Zany's TT round up, if you've played DoW40K before, it's more or less like that, a cross between TT, fluff and improvisation

Yeah, I'm the TT fanatic version.
Cool loading screen there Medes.

[Duken]

*shoots SpaceMarineFan* There was WAAAAY too much effort put into that; just for that result.

A little more Table Top in your life is always good, especially if you can't afford the real thing.

Like me, and most other people.

[Kronos]

Seriously SpaceMarineFan,dont you have anything better to do than a REALLY long Spoiler??

Percentage wise,how complete is the mod?

[Methuselath]

I think medes already said that the mod is due to release in June. Mind you, that's just an estimate, and if it's anything to go by, the mod will be released a couple of months late. I could be wrong though

[Mirage Knight]

This pic should keep you guys happy for...at least a day



This one too

[SpaceMarineFan]

*Shoots himself* :P

Got old FC back i see

[ChaosReigns]

That's pant wetting quality!!! lol, just kidding
