"A travesty has befallen the sacred lands of our God Emperor. The despicable Ork tides have already taken the planet Tern and are now sweeping through the entire system. These foul creatures not only threaten the millions of inhabitants but take the Forges for their own perverse means. Should the Imperial Guard faulter, we shall stand firm. My brethren, it is our duty to cleanse these Xenos in the name of the Emperor. Never forget, never forgive."
- Grand Master Uriel, briefing aboard Strike Cruiser Exheres Venia, Sanctus Sector.

As many of you can see, the 8th Legion team has been striving to complete most assests, mainly models, before the engine is even out. The attitude the team has taken to the task is a direct and serious one. We realise that it does take more than a couple of years to release a good game and there is no sense in twiddling thumbs until the dev tools comes out. However, the team is still lacking in some departments so please do not hesitate to get in contact with us if you wish to help out.
Getting into contact with us can be achieved in several ways. Either an Email or Private Message on our website's forums at 8thlegion.net or come onto our IRC channel listed in the side panel.

Much thanks, and love, goes out to Ransico who has fixed the media section for all to view. In celebration, we're continuing to show case more high poly renders of the versatile Space Marine Drop Pod and ferocious Land Raider. I would like to point out that these high poly versions now replace the older models.
For those you do not know, the Drop Pod allows Space Marine squads to strike almost anywhere with precision. Able to bring reinforcements in a matter of minutes, the Drop Pod will be crucial for keeping the pressure on opponents.
And what cannot be said about the Land Raider? Arguably the heaviest, medium-sized tank in the known Imperium, it serves multiple roles including Anti-Vehicle, Anti-Infantry and Transportation. The only vehicle to be able to transport Terminators, the Land Raider strikes fear into all the enemies of the God-Emperor.

If UT2007 hasn't even come out, how are you already developing a mod? I understand planning it out, but models and such, kinda early, don't you think?
Also with ut2007, it can be assumed that quite a lot of the scripting engine will remain similar to that of ut2004 - so much code planning can also take place beforehand. Essentially, there is still lots of work to do... even before the game is out :)
Mr. Grim it is possible to begin work on a mod before the game is released, models, skins and other such data can be created before hand. It is the coding and the actual building of the game that cannot take place until its released, what it does mean is that when the game is released we have cut a fairly good portion of the development time down beforehand.
Wow, looks great! Just another reason to get UT2007...
dakka dakka dakka?
Dude quit asking the same fucking question in all the 2K7 mod profiles.
Look, it's simple; they make lots of models now and when UT2007 comes out, they can focus more on the coding aspects.
Those models are way too nice to ignore this one
+1 watcher.
the mod is starting out very nice, but ive never played an unreal game before anyone think it's worth buying?
wish you guys the best of luck
