Awesome,so what version will be the final release?
Nothing can be "final" in modding ;) We need converting a SS campaing to be BT-playable at least.
Yes man it's forward good naw... all units is ok but only the techmarin is red!!! and the champion is grey??? I have no other banner in DDS extention else Black raven but is cool .. I post a screenshot on my profil on modDB. So it's a diy campagn but is running on unification... ;)
do the assault terminators have the big BT shields like the sword brethren? or do they still use those old small shields?
i'm sure they'd look a lot better with them. Forgeworld.co.uk
sounds like a good update. looking forward to this mod
They have old small shields currently.
I've seen this picture before, but totally forgot about it. I'll consider this possibility in future
when u add the thunderhawk transport =D... tell meeee =D
I sure, Rhino transport is enough for BT. But will wait for what the new 2012 BT Codex will say
