Laurentian Hussars Mod

Laurentian Hussars Mod for Soulstorm 1.2

Hello friends and comrades.
I recently started developing a new modification on the Laurentian Hussars. I noticed that in the industry of modding DoW there is no modification, where the this not very famous IG regiment would have appeared as a new race.
Models and textures are from the mod Fire Storm Over Kronus. I need's some help with ideas and it is desirable to help in modding.
So far only announced the alpha version of the update Laurentian Hussars. Very high quality and cool AI made in all vanilla races by corncobman - my partner. Bonus race Adeptus Mechanicus has not AI. Also, there are also many new units in the remaining races. Changelog you can see above.

Changelog older versions
1.New updated Imperial Guard race with new units, textures, buildings and skills of heroes.
2.new units of other races
3.new balance of game
4.New AI from Corncobman
5.new superweapons
6.Bonus race - Adeptus Mechanicus

In future:
New addon of Laurentian Hussars race - Kalaman Hussars headquarters (with new units)
New battle tanks
Cavalry units (yes! yes!)
New heroes of LH - Inquisitor Roustaveli and Laurentian King-Vicegerent
new hero of SM - Uriel Ventris (from books of Gram Macnill) and new units - Mortifactor marines, Laurentian Auxillary psyker and etc.

[Sataman]

Sounds interasting
If you need my help with anything,just pm me as usual

Good luck.

[Count Bagatur]

Sataman, lets go PM and speak there about development

[Melooo]

Hi xD
not quite sure what im supposed to see here (Count Bagatur invited me to look around with scarce instructions xD) but its nice to have new people with new projects

[Count Bagatur]

Thank you Melooo. Sataman how is about fx-effects of eldar race?

p.s. look at new screen

its new eldar avengers (attack 80-90)

p.p.s. Unfortunately, the member of our team Iomen (from Sich studio) is absent now. We are waiting new eldar textures.

[Croaxleigh]

Out of curiosity, why are you adding units to the existing races in addition to creating a new race? Not saying that you can't, of course, just seems like it would be easier to focus on a single race instead of a single race AND rebalancing everything else.

[Count Bagatur]

Yes, I understand you. It's just what to do Mechanicus is still very long, this race requires completely new (not borrowed in other mods) models (i mean absolutely new models). While our modelers are late. And so we have to deal with other races. Mod is work in progress now. But the development of new race Mechanicus is stopped. =(

[Croaxleigh]

Oh, believe me... I know what you mean about needing new models for the AdMech.

[Count Bagatur]

No, we don`t borrow the models of new Mechanicus race from FoK in future. I mean, we are waiting NEW models.
(sorry for my english)

[corncobman]

Hi so apparently I am now a member of the mod team and I'm supposed to make some sort of comment in this here thread here.

[Count Bagatur]

Oh yes, corncobman =) Your AI is best!

[Croaxleigh]

No, we don`t borrow the models of new Mechanicus race from FoK in future. I mean, we are waiting NEW models.

I understand. I was just agreeing with you about the AdMech needing new models to be implemented into DoW.

[Count Bagatur]

I was just agreeing with you about the AdMech needing new models to be implemented into DoW.

All right!

[Mhotep]

Greetings to all
Bagatur, this is Mhotep... Good work!

[Count Bagatur]

Oh, hello old friend! Thank you. Lets talk =)

[Mhotep]

Oh, hello old friend! Thank you. Lets talk =)

well then... what progress with this version?

[Count Bagatur]

Mod is work on progress now. I am waiting Iomen texture work (eldar reskin). I will release beta soon.

[Pragmatic]

Umm.......

I grabbed it earlier on today, installed it.

Crashed back to desktop once. 2nd go it fired up

A few things missing

*Builders can't build anything, apart from that it looks like its gonna be fun to play

Kind Regards Prag

[Count Bagatur]

Thank you Pragmatic. I made new link for download the mod

[Pragmatic]

Awesome, I will grab that next week.

Can you tell me anything about new content???

Just call me Prag

[Count Bagatur]

Yes please. We are waiting new models and textures of Mechanicus and eldar, and also new effects of Sataman.
I will create now new superweapon - Ragnarok Gun. It will be awesome, i think) xD

[Pragmatic]

Pardon my asking, what is a Ragnarok Gun do??

[Count Bagatur]

Ragnarok Gun is like a orbital bombardment SM. This superweapon destroyes all enemy base.

[Lleman]

Hi all. Good to see mods being worked on on this rotten old carcass (j/k). I'll however play the usual party-pooper: i know it's easy to get carried away with awesome war-/death-engines in the 40K settings but can't you guys try to stick a bit more with the (once and current) AdMech fluff, especially when it comes to naming weapons and tools of war to perhaps avoid some confusions? I.e. 'Ragnarok' is used for a boxy armour used by some famous IG siege regiments (see the Epic system).

The AdMech is known well enough for their insane Ordinatus war engines/platforms variants without having to resort to world-end naming.
I know it sounds very anal-retentive but i guess that's the price to pay to set your work in the 40K universe.

[Count Bagatur]

Yes you are right. AdMech will not use superweapon Ragnarok Gun. We will create this weapon to IG. Now i am working with AdMech race. AdMech race now haven`t got any superweapons. I an thinking about new ideas for AdMech race. Can you help me?

[jONES1979]

I an thinking about new ideas for AdMech race. Can you help me?

You are too lazy to be a modder http://forums.revora.net/topic/72736-mechanicus/

[Count Bagatur]

Oh, i didn`t know about another Mechanicus mod. Well, i wish successes for the author of another mod (goldenhorde).

[Lleman]

You could always grab the NetEpic Armageddon lists which display quite a few unit types and lists their armament types, as well as browse through some of the 40K AdMech blogs (if you don't find any, which'd surprise me, PM me, i'll link to a few).

I'm a bit nonplussed however, why would there need be superweapons? If your mod is intended for play on-par with other 'regular' mods you'd totally unbalance things... *shrugs*

[Count Bagatur]

Ok, Lleman, i PM you. I think superweapons will be cool in DoW gameplay. (Remember UA mod!)

[Croaxleigh]

The UA mod is not DoW gameplay. The UA mod is UA mod gameplay. There's a difference.

That said, it's entirely possible to have "superweapons" in an AdMech army and have it balanced against DoW standards (though since you're making adjustments to all armies I imagine that the DoW gameplay balance point is moot; you'll have your own internal balance.) The problem lies in throwing in a bunch of big asplodey stuff just for the sake of having it, because then you either have to scale some of it down horribly or create lower tiers of generic troops that won't scale as people rush to get the 20 super huge big things in T3 and T4.

I mean, which is more effective... having everyone rush through the army so that every AdMech player builds this ASAP:



Or having a full balanced gameplay experience where players get to enjoy all of these:



There are people who would enjoy both options. Some would rather have the OMGasplodey! option. Others would prefer the option that gives them a well-rounded AdMech army without the need for "gimmicky" units.

In the end, though, the design of your mod falls down to which options YOU want.

[Rytlock]

Just out of curiosity: is that a Knight in the background?

[Count Bagatur]

Oh, thats good models. I`d like it to see in my mod. But it will takes a lot of work =)

[jONES1979]

Just out of curiosity: is that a Knight in the background?

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Knight#.T2XHutm3Z8E

[Croaxleigh]

Rytlock: It was a Knight Paladin, yes. Toyed around with the idea of doing other Knight variants as well, either as alternate T4 units for my mod or to create squads in the Epic mod (similar to the command squad used by IG.) Never did, though.

[Count Bagatur]

Friends, when will be ready the Knight model and textures for it? I heared that this model is work in progress.
Do you know about it?

[Croaxleigh]

Well, if you're referring to the Knight model in the picture that I posted then yes, I do know about it... I made it. It's not completely finished, however, and I haven't actively worked on it or my other AdMech assets in ages.

If you're referring to a different one, however, I dunno.

[METAL GOD]

Hello, is the first time that i know the existence of goldenhorde and Croaxleigh mech armies. If is possible, when can i track this projects ?

[Croaxleigh]

There's really nothing to track on my mod, as I'm no longer actively involved in modding. I had basic model work done for about 3/4 of the AdMech faction, a little done for the Dark Mechanicus and a few pieces done for a Heretek Cabal faction. Also had some work done on a spinoff mod that would feature the Steel Confessors Space Marines (who served as drop troops for the AdMech.) The mod is no longer in active development, however.

It's also worth noting that this thread is for the discussion of Count Bagatur's AdMech mod. The only reason that I posted those pics in the first place was to help illustrate a point I was making in regard to "super units."

[Count Bagatur]

This mod project is stopped. Because we are waiting models. I think new release will be in autumn or later. =(
Regards

[Count Bagatur]

Hello all, friends. I decide to rename this mod to Laurentian Hussars and maximally update Imperial Guard Race. Mod is not dead, and also work in progress. Thanks all.

[knezekj]

i wish you all good luck i hope it will be great mod

[Count Bagatur]

i wish you all good luck i hope it will be great mod

Thank you brother.

[Gambit]

Alex, do you have any news about the models you are waiting?

I like the prospects of this idea and I will have a look at this thread

P.S.: Man, you are in charge of many mods!!! And you assist many others... Be careful, or your free time will disappear!

[Count Bagatur]

Man, you are in charge of many mods!!! And you assist many others... Be careful, or your free time will disappear!

yes you are right. I will continue development of this mod in the end of summer. Now, i am busy with WS

[deathteam15]

Can I just say I love the sexy adverts that surround your images on whatever website you post them on

[Count Bagatur]

Oh, sexy adverts? ah, i understand. by the way this image-uploader is very convenient for me

and also, i changed the screens.
