Dear BF40K fans,

The final infantry model required to make a release: Tau XV25 Stealth is now available.
Adam has rigged it with a custom skeleton (a first for this mod) and we spent 20 minutes testing it in 2142 on Tuesday.
Adam is going to rebuild 2142 mod from scratch and put the following assets in.

Tau

Infantry Classes
Kroot, Firewarrior, Combat Engineer, Pathfinder, XV15/25

Vehicles
Piranha, Devilfish & Hammerhead (With Railgun & Burst Cannons)

Emplacement
Tau Drone Turret with Twin Linked Plasma Rifles

Imperial Guard

Infantry Classes
Guardsmen, Hardened Vet, Combat Engineer, Heavy Weapons, Kasrkin

Vehicles
Sentinel, Chimera & Leman Russ

Emplacement
Turantula with Twin Linked Heavy Bolters

We did want to have custom commander and squad leader character models but as we have no artists available to make them, we are sticking with what completed art assets we have.

All of this needs coding in for us to release.
A Manual needs to be written.

Bad news:

BF40K - BF2 will be discontinued as inaiths PC has now broken there is no-one left to continue the build.

Adam who is coding 2142 uses vista and it works just fine. Do a google search to find the solution.
