[SS] The Adeptus Custodes Mod 0.45-Alpha

[Valdor]

We are the Dread Guardians.

To look upon us is to stare into a fragment of the Emperors own divine essence.

The word of the Emperor himself called upon us to purge this land. The sons of the Primarchs are misguided, and must be righted. The daughters of the Ecclesiarch are overzealous in their purgation, and their fire must be quenched. The children Guard of the Imperium are victims of the claws of chaos, and we must separate and protect them by any means. The deceitful Elder and their fallen kin have made an intrusion into the Imperium once more, they must be forced to retreat through the Webway. The foul Orks gather in number, and our legion will crush them as we did Gharkhul Blackfang in the Great Crusade. The naive Tau try to spread their lies and false hope to the Imperium, they must be cleaved from the galaxy. The foul marionette’s of the Star Gods return, and we must slaughter them as the Emperor did ages ago. And the most hated traitors of the Horus Heresy have arrived, they will be annihilated.

This is a mod for the latest patched version of Soulstorm.

ive been waiting for this for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!! way to go man!

[HelbrechtBT]

Oh sweet Emperor! Finaly the race we have all wanted and dreaded is coming!

[guardsman lover]

This is one mod I definitely will try.

[Chaplain261]

Finally, can't wait for this mod. Its about time the Imperium got its act together and struck back. I mean this is perfect my dawn of war team online are the Holy Cusotdes of the Emperor .

[Bloody_Hawk]

Cool, should be a very intesting mod

[guardsman lover]

I hope nobody cries Imba when one custodes can wipe out whole squads!

[B-C Vesuvious]

if it wasnt balanced that way you wouldnt be playing as the custodes, Valdor, please ignore imbalance created by the custodes, just make them true to the custodes

[thudmeizer]

We've had 1-2 Custodes mod projects since DoW1 started up (like Croax's efforts) but regrettably nothing substantial except for some 3d assets done. I would absolutely die to see this come to fruition.

[Chaplain261]

We all support you Brother.

[Valdor]

Rest assured, We have spent as much time trying to figure out how to make them true to fluff and keep it balanced as we have been making the models.

The Custodes will always be outnumbered and outsquaded in a battle, but they will never be outgunned. I am confident that our method will work, and prove to be both fun for the Custode player and everyone else.

[thudmeizer]

Making a single Custode 3d model and putting it through the workflow of modelling all the way to OE/animations/FX/ingame,etc would be a huge undertaking. If your team is up for the entire sequence per Custode then wow.. severe kudos to the group!

[Valdor]

At this point, I intend no two custodes should look alike. We have 3 custode models at the moment ingame, but I am unhappy with the textures, or else I would have shown them off already.

On that note. Any expert texturers that have any pointers, we would gladly take them.

[B-C Vesuvious]

hmmm, i dont know, if you do them pre heresy in the armor they will look nearly the same, remember they ALL wear helmets, post heresy is harder as they abandoned the use of power armor

[Valdor]

We made the decision early on they would be wearing pre-heresy armor.

Even though all thier armor is quite similar, they each will have thier own ornate little details. Eagle wing on shoulder pads, some will have the red manes on thier heads, etc.

[B-C Vesuvious]

remember they all have the red cape, i wish i had the time to help you in this endeavor, but i leave in 2 months

good images for you

[Valdor]

I appreciate it, We wouldn't have minded having you on our team, you do great work.

And we definately have those mini's as part of our large menagerie of stock custode photos for inspiration.

[Valdor]

Also, Our board is HERE

It will be the first place to see screens, updates, and etc. So sign up! Post something! I made a userbar! Give us a cheer! (We're a little lonely.)

[horusheretic]

drools at the godly paintwork
you had to get me inspired didnt you

[thudmeizer]

I am there now.. DoW1 community needs a custodes mod. Of course, as mentioned, Custodes are like mini deities so a single one could expunge large squad formations within much effort. But gather this can be addressed to avoid the dreads IMBA police. Bas*ards they are!

[lordoftheT]

Registered. Been waiting for a Custodes mod for a long time.

[GMB]

i LOVE these guys, i remember seeing Adeptus Custodes in a White Dwarf article last year they look so cool especially the Gatekeepers (dreads)

good luck with the mod

[potemkis]

I remember that article! Those were some insane conversions!

[Chaplain261]

I'll register right away, nothing can take me away from supporting this mod.

[undefeatable]

Praise the emperor it's the mod we have all been waiting for. goodluck

[Brother Titus]

Emperor be Praised....your Guard are here!

[undefeatable]

Please update

[Valdor]

Patience, good servants of the Emperor.

We're actually nearing a HUGE update where you will see the custodes in action. We have been hard at work getting a few sync kills ready for you good folks.

Just a little longer.

[Storm913]

I am so happy... tears... I have wanted this for a long long long time

[Flase-Man]

Cool idea, the Adeptus Custodes would be a welcome addition to the Dawn of War game. Hope you finish it.

[undefeatable]

Need a Play tester?

[Richter]

Undefeatable, i wouldn't demand for an update like that...

[undefeatable]

I said please that's asking not demanding.
I know i google'd it

[Kresjah]

I said please that's asking not demanding.
I know i google'd it

It can also double as a polite way of demanding.

To quote a famous passage:

Inquisitor Mordecai Toth: "Colonel Brom. The Captain and I must attend to matters of faith. If you would leave us, please."

Colonel Carus Brom: "But surely this involves me as --"

Inquisitor Mordecai Toth: "Forgive me for not being clear on the matter. I said please when in fact I meant, now."

[Chaplain261]

Love the reference to Dow 1

[mdcertainty]

That's cool for sure. I'm curious what you will show us

[xhunkx]

News about this project ?

[xhunkx]

?????

[thudmeizer]

Does it count we have all the major Primarchs (alive, in-stasis, missing, dead) voiced?

[xhunkx]

it count yes but no news about the modder team

[thudmeizer]

Nope.. would be a hard mod to balance since one Primarch = one entire deployed faction in the field pretty much @ full strength/all upgrades. You'd have to send legions of marines at the Primarch to start to have a hope to drop him.

[xhunkx]

i know .....but imagine some custodes in game destroying some orks ^^ maybe a custodes faction could be add to space marine as relic unit ....

[Maximicus]

Sending legions of standard units to fight a single primarch sounds like a fun game mode to me. Also would allow for long cinematic one on one battles between them.

[xhunkx]

yes but seems really dead :'(

[Gorb]

Please do not bump a game after three years of inactivity. The forum rules quite obviously state that bumping dead threads (for no reason) is not allowed.
