Hey Modders |
Is anyone thinking of doing a Warhammer 40K mod?
Is Modder even a word? 
Yes but what could be done
Yes but what could be done is make the Races interact like they would in the Warhammer world. For example the Orcs would never ally with the Humans and they live for war. Gene Stealers and space hulks could be events. Although, I would only like it if the ship graphics could be changed as well.
Ship graphics and balance
Ship graphics and balance are the easy part, especially considering the small variety (compared to SE4/5, IMO) of combat equipment in Battlefleet Gothic, and the fairly straight-forward escort/cruiser/battleship (with structure/hull sizes) system.
Balancing the ground combat, as well as reproducing the overall feel of 40k, would be far more difficult. Playing as the Imperium would be interesting though, with access to Forge Worlds, Titan Legions, and billions of Imperial Guardsmen, but the need to put down rebellions/massive Ork Waaagh/Chaos Black Crusade/Tyranid Hive Fleet damn near every turn.
Re: Hey Modders
It always fascinates me how people want to change other games into warhammer 40k. There are loads of similar posts in the supreme commander and half-life modder forums (it'd be funny if people add other examples too).
To sound a bit like My master !!The great Foamy!!...why don't you play the 'real thing' instead of trying to turn other, non-similar (completely different) things into it instead.

To add to that, it would also save the poor modder who undertakes that project the legal shafting they would duley recieve if they do make a 40k mod.
Hang on...I address this directly to the person requesting the 40k mod. Are you a lawyer for games workshop?

Everyone:
Don't let LordHavoc discourage you from making whatever mods you like...
Jeebus... why bump a thread that has been dead for 10 months to post that??
Modder is indeed a word -
Modder is indeed a word - "someone who mods"
As for a 40k mod - I don't think I've seen any plans for one - would it even fit to the gamestyle? 40k is more about troops and planetary war than space conquest....
