I think this mod really needs to be brought to the people it was intended for.

It is called the Firestorm mod otherwise known as Dawn of 40K. It's first role as a mod is to convert the stats and interaction of the units properties to represent Table top. Secondly, it has some of the best names in the DoW modding community building and texturing content. So armies have a hell of a lot more options to play with now and they're damn pretty to boot. It also reshaped unit requisition to represent the army organisation slots. So 3 elites 6 troops etc. No more Defiler rushes yeah?

All units currently in the game have been re-programmed to represent them in Table Top. As to the oodles of new content the Firestorm team likes to do one race at a time. Adjusting the tech tree and upgrades, deciding what units to use then modelling and texturing new ones.

ATM Chaos is receiving the major overhaul as most of these recent screenies will attest. The ones mostly done are Space Marines and Tau. Imperial Guard are still being fiddled with and the Eldar too.

Some of the highlights to the races new additions:

-Space Marines-
Land Raider Crusader
Mortis class Dreadnoughts
Re-textured Space Marines to look more like the Table top version with randomised helmets for a more varied look.

-IG-
Three separate doctrine tech trees: Tank Company, Inquisitorial Mandate and Infantry Regiment.
Several Leman Russ variants including: Destroyer Tank Hunter, Demolisher, Vanquisher.
Grey knight Justicars, Psycannon armed Dreadnoughts

-Tau-
A new Crisis based Shas'O and several Crisis suit variants
Sniper Drones and spotter
Piranhas

-Orks-
Ard' boyz
Gunwagon (Not sure on name there?)
Soon to be Killer Kan squads

-Chaos-
All the Cult Marines with their own models and champions
Chaos Land Raiders
Soon to be Chaos Dreadnoughts

-Eldar-
Autarch
Striking Scorpions and Dire Avengers
Waveserpents
