This modification adds the Tyranid race, from the tabletop war-game Warhammer 40k from which Dawn of War was based on, to the game. The Tyranids are an alien race, threatening the imperium from the edge of the galaxy, living only to feast upon the flesh of their foes. They are a fearsome adversary, but an even better ally! That's why our mod allows you fight with and for the great Tyranid race, swarm the enemy with hundreds of hormagaunts, stamp on your foes with the huge carnifex and devour your opponent from within with the deadly lictor. We aim to show players of Dawn of War what the fantastic Tyranids are and attempt to keep as true to the feel of the race as possible.

Blog RSS Feed Report abuse Latest News: 0.45 DC Out Now

10 comments by zahaqiel on Jul 2nd, 2008 digg this super bookmark


Well the 0.45 DC release is out. It's available to download here:

Dawnofwar.filefront.com
and
Moddb.com

Enjoy, have fun, I'll stick up some images for you to take a squiz at while you download it.

*sigh* Apparently I have to exceed 300 words in this post, so let's waffle on about what's in it:
New models - basically, it has everything barring the Hive Tyrant now
New animations - Raveners are fully animated, and there's a few other fun surprises
New ways of doing things - mostly you won't have to care about build zones anymore (mostly)

Plus other pretties.

So... go nuts. Eat some worlds.

Edit:
Uploading the pics seems to be taking a stupidly long time both here and on DoWFiles, so I've resorted to Photobucket:

This mod only strengthens my love for Dawn of War. Unfortunately, I've never played the table top game, as I have no monies. Oh well, I'll just stick to Dawn of War I guess! :D

A ton of stuff. The resource system is wrong, why do the Tau have two different play routes when Tyranids only have one, and why do Tyranids have a builder unit at all?
