NEVER FINISHED PROJECTS – Part 2

SEMPER FI: MOD FOR DAWN OF WAR


Percentage done: 1%

I’m a fan of Warhammer 40k and loved the Dawn of War series, specially Dark Crusade. But, as an incorrigible modder, I quickly planed some modifications to make the PC game even similar to the tabletop.

This mod is focused in the Imperial Space Marines.

Here is a list of the changes:

Recon Squad

o Increase the size to initial 4 and maximum 9 soldiers + 1 Sergeant. Increase the cost and increase the population to 2.
o Weapons: bolter (standard), shotgun (replace for no extra cost), bolter pistol + combat blade (replace for no cost), sniper rifle (no change), heavy bolter (needs to unlock), missile launcher (needs to unlock).
o New ability: Auspex (shows invisible units – temporary).
o Infiltrate (no change)
o Grenades: Frag and Krak (needs to unlock – only one can be unlocked).

Marine Squad

o Increase the maximum size to 9 soldiers + 1 Sergeant.
o Weapons: bolter (standard), bolter pistol + chainsword, flamer, meltagun (needs to unlock), plasma gun (needs to unlock), heavy bolter (needs to unlock), missile launcher (needs to unlock), multi-melta, lascannon, plasma cannon.
o Grenades: Frag and Krak (needs to unlock – only one can be unlocked).

Assault Squad

o Increase the maximum size to 9 soldiers + 1 Sergeant.
