Coming soon.... Battlefleet Gothic Return

Post by nicodede62 »

[center]"There is no future, there is only war" [/center]

Hello everyone,

Soon on your screen:
The extension of my mod on "Battlefleet Gothic for "Distant Worlds - Return of the Shakturi"

-20 new races drawn from the world of Games Workshop ( I reflect on the last two, if you have any ideas, I'm interested ).
-Each race will have its fleet associated with its color.
-A better job of diplomacy between the races using the file biases.txt.

Go without delay :

IMPERIUM:
Ultramarine, Imperial Guard, Adeptus Mechanicus, Adepta Sororitas

Image Image Image Image

CHAOS:
World Eaters, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, Thousand Sons

Image Image Image Image

ORK:
Bad Moon, Blood Axes, Evil Sunz, Goff

Image Image Image Image

ELDAR:
Alaitoc, Saim-Hann, Biel-Tan, Ulthwé

Image Image Image Image

TAU:

DARK ELDAR:

Image

NECRON:

TYRANIDES:

I am at 50% of the work, but it will slow down because my wife will soon given birth at my second son.
So be patient a little bit [;)].
I'll add shortly of screenshots showing the colors of the ships according to race.
See you soon.

Sounds great! I've always been a fan of Warhammer 40K in general. Never played the tabletop games but played many old and new games on various platforms. Properly modded, original Dawn of War being the best one in my opinion. The coming Warhammer 40K: Space Marine looks promising too.

Also, gongrats for your coming son. Hope he'll be healty and strong in life.

Nothing is impossible, not if you can imagine it!

Yes me too, I'm a big fan of this universe, I love his black universe.
I loved Dow 1, but the two don't really not packed.
Also, gongrats for your coming son. Hope he'll be healty and strong in life.

Thank you.

I know how much work and joy it is being a new father. When you get the time to finish it up I will be excited to play; I am a Battlefleet Gothic, Epic 40k, and Warhammer 40k player, too!

PS: The preview art looks awesome...

I hope your son is healthy.

For the mod I would probably do another 2 Space Marine chapters.

But here's the thing, you aren't limited to 22 races, just 22 ship sets. So you could do a few recolours for perhaps different Space Marine chapters but you could always do several Tyranid Hive fleets that use the same ship set, or several Imperial Guard Armies. However to stay closer to the universe maybe you should consider a single race called "The Imperium" and Space Marine chapters, Adeptus Mechanicus etc. to be non expanding races.
Racial Bias will play out the theme of the mod and you might want to look at the link in my signature to help with that.

The hardest part will be getting all the ships knocked out, I'd love to see if you are making any progress with that.

If you need any help then send me a pm.
