Battlefield 40k's Mission
Is to transform the Tabletop game of Games Workshops Warhammer 40,000 into an FPS for the Battlefield 2142 Engine.
We will use the new features of BF2142 to add what we could not do previously in BF1942 and BF2 version of the mod. Walkers, Cloaking and the use of AI controlled support weapons (Tau Drones, Imperial Servo Skulls etc.)
Statics containing Advertising will not feature in maps for this mod for legal reasons set out by Games Workshop's Legal document concerning mods based upon their franchise
The purpose of our mod project is to put six races in game.
The aim for first release is focusing on Imperial Guard Cadians vs Tau Campaign (details on the campaign will be unveiled near release of the first alpha).
The Six Races
Space Marines Adeptus Astartes, Chapter: Blood Angels
Space Marines are genetically enhanced superhumans that form the elite forces of the imperium of man. They are one of the most loyal forces to the Emperor.
The Blood Angels were formed by the Primarch Sanguinius, their genes derive from him. During the Horus Heresy Their founder died at the hands of the traitor Horus. Ever since this incident the chapter has not been quite the same. Their geneseed now contains the Black Rage. At times The Blood Angels will lose control to the curse and annihilate all the enemy tearing them limb from limb without mercy.
Imperial Guard : Cadian Shock Troopers
The Imperial Guard are the largest military force that the Imperium of man holds at their disposal. They are tasked with defending the many planets under the emperors rule.
The Cadian shock troopers defend the most crucial planets that are near to the eye of terror which the forces of chaos pour through when black crusades are undertaken.
Eldar
The ancient and sophisticated alien race. Once they had a galactic empire, Then came the fall and it crumbled along with their homeworlds. Now they Fight for survival few in number living and travelling within gigantic ships known as Craftworlds.
Tau
The new emerging rapidly evolving alien race that stand to conquer the universe held in their empire for the greater good.
Orks
Greenskinned barbarians who only live for conflict, be it against other races or amongst each other.
Chaos Space Marines
The Space Marine chapters once loyal to the Emperor turned into traitors under the manipulative and corrupt powers of chaos.
A bloody civil war was fought known as the horus heresy that almost shattered the Imperium empire of man. Chaos eventually lost with a high cost to both sides.
After the horus heresy which they lost they fled to the eye of terror, a demonic portal within lies the controlled dimentional realms of the 4 Chaos gods Khorne: God of Blood , Slaanesh: God of Pleasure, Tzeentch: God of Change and Nurgle: God of Plague.
Chaos plot to bring down the Emperor and the Galaxy.
Battlefield 40k will accurately model the races, the technology and the equipment of future warfare in the 40,000 universe. Featuring wars in distant galaxies and in a host of difficult, unforgiving terrain. Humankind has to struggle for it's very existence in a universe of total war.
Battlefield 40k will supplement the depiction of brutal future warfare with a host of highly detailed depiction of distant worlds and civilizations. Never before has the future of warfare looked so clear.
Battlefield 40k's Background
Even in the early stages of it's development the mod has already attracted a small but hardworking team of skilled highly motivated Modelers, UVmappers, Texture Artists, Sound editors, scripters and Mappers that are also enthusiastic Warhammer 40,000 fans.
We are keen to generate as much support for this fantastic modification of Battlefield 40k.
The mod began on July 28th 2004.

i Love warhammer, i love battlefield, => IS LOVE THIS MOD!!! Great style!
the supplay soldier should have flame thrower and heavy Bolter 8-)
the different races should habe different shoots, i mean: Tau shoots plasma balls, space marines have Bolter , Orks run around with a "bolter pistole" and an axe/ a knife at the same time! you should know what i mean now :D
Oh man, those skins are wicked awesome
I have the public beta for BF1942, and my only complaint was no AI :(
Cant wait for the 2142 version of this mod, because I know this can be way more than the 1942 version ever was
*stares at mod*
Bumped it to 30% not much coding has been put in yet, and its not as well developed as the bf2 edition.
Hey, i was just wondering the same thing as the previous comment. Except now is even later... are you sure its still only 10% complete? Sorry for bothering
Is the mod still truly only 10% complete or did you just forget to update the progress slider? Oh and i have a bit of a random question but how will you incorporate the use of more than 2 races in each map? Will you make it like each map has only 2 teams depending on the situation?
2 Teams really thats all the bf engine can support
There is one way it could be done. For one team you would have to make half of the classes of one race, and the other half of another race, but they would be team one then you have team 2.
So for example you might have Space marine classes mixed in with imperial guard.
Have the team called imperium.
Have you made a movie or a teaser to watch on ?
We sometimes make small gameplay videos, if you look in the profile gallery and the sentinel I have posted a link to one.
have you made a movie or a teaser to watch on
the mod just started before a few weeks !
but your second question is good i thought the same as well
