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.

No, BF2142 is an extended BF2 engine, they run different executables have different features and they are not network game compatible. To play our 2142 version you must own BF2142 and to play the BF2 version you must have a copy of BF2.

seems like you are developing this on several different games. BF2 and BF2142 share the same engine, right? will players of BF2 be able to play against the BF2142 players on the same server?

Don't have a time estimate on when this version will be released yet. Development for this version has only been going on for about a month.
We have a large number of marine vehicles left over from our BF1942 version of the mod that will need updating for both this and our BF2 version.

It will probably be further delayed as updates to our existing Space marine models will not happen until we have IG VS Tau done for our BF2 version. Once thats done all weight will be thrown into developing the marines.

As a voluntary team, we don't put out a consistent rate of work, we prefer to say when its done.

Our plans right now is getting through all the infantry and their weapons, then focusing on clearing the vehicles and commanders assets.
We are approaching a milestone soon, almost all the tau infantry is done now. All that remains then is the Imperial Guard infantry.

jujulio if you look in the gallery for the bf2 mod profile and the one for this you would notice both are quite active in development. Yesterday a new closed public alpha was released for our BF2 version 0.65

We have two coders, one working on the BF2 version Inaith and Bunnysnot working on the 2142 version.
All artwork made for bf2 works with bf2142. All apart from walker vehicles which will be unique to bf2142.

With the recent influx of artists work has started to pick up again.
We promised to our community some months ago that the BF2 version would be released first. It will happen rest assured. We will also continue to make content for both.

Regards Lionheart Mod coordinator.
