Battlefleet Gothic Mod for Dawn of War

Battlefleet Gothic - The Gothic Wars
The year is 139.M41. A telepathic plea has been heard from Arx Station, all of the stations inhabitants have been slain in particularly gruesome ways. Over the next few months this proved to be only the start in a series of incidents across the sector. It was only when a number of vessels, including an Emperor Class Battleship, were found with all hands lost and filled with decay did the Imperium begin to take notice.
By then it was too late and a large contingent of Death Guard, including the vessel Plagueclaw, took the planet Morganghast. Imperial Fleets were put on high alert, but they were still unprepared for the increase in Warp activity across the sector. Fleets were cut off, communications lost. Doomsday cults erupted all over the sector, lynch mobs roamed many Hive Worlds and secret cults infiltrated many planets.
It was only when the Chaos forces began to take two artifacts did the Imperium begin to seriously worry. On the planets of Purgatory and Ornsworld, two ancient artifacts were taken for an unknown purpose.
It was then than the entire of the Gothic Sector was cut off. And all around, the warfleets of Abbadon the Despoiler emerged from the Warp, for the 12th Black Crusade. Humanity's greatest threat had come to the Gothic Sector and it was to face it alone.
Races of the Gothic Wars:
The Imperial Navy: The war-fleets of the Imperium of Man. The largest naval force in the known universe, outfitted with ships centuries old and highly trained crews, ready to face any threat.
Chaos Warfleets: The vessels and warbands of Abbadon the Despoiler. The Chaos fleets that invaded the Gothic Sector were not just Legions but traitor vessels from previous conflicts, recent turncoats, all sorts of traitors and vagabonds accompanied Abbadon on his great invasion. Legend says that some Daemon Primarchs followed suit.
Disclaimer:
The current release is a BETA RELEASE; we were sick of delaying the mod's public release so we have given you what we currently have. Regular patches are to be expected!

Latest News: BFG - After the Beta

So the feedback from 0.7 is back and we're making an number of changes.
The next release is 0.72 and shall be out within the month and it'll feature the following changes:
- Custom U.I, both on the main menu and taskbars and icons.
- New maps, environment objects and new gamemodes.
- Fully 3d and textured ships for both the Imperial Navy and Chaos, with teamcolours (although this may be in a future release)
To follow are a comprehensive list of code changes, from damage values, weapon facings to shields and abilities. After this, the changes will be minor and with exception of the custom soundtrack, will lead to 1.0, the first release.
After 1.0
After 1.0, the first release with Chaos and the Imperial Navy, the focus shall be on releasing the other remaining races to the game, these will be: Adeptus Mechanicus, Eldar and Orks in the next update, which is a long time coming - hopefully over summer. These follow the original Battlefleet Gothic releases and expansions for the tabletop game the mod is based on.

Bad Graphics. Took ages to be "somewhat complete" AI broken. Only Miltiplayer, "several" missed release dates. Broken downloads. Unclear instructions... this mod features all things a mod should "not" have / be.

Page updated! I'll be managing the page as we get the build updated with more content!
I think I should emphasise the 'beta' aspect of the mod, it is unfinished and I apologise to those who were confused. We're not some machines who mod every waking minute and this is why it took longer - in all honesty, we haven't been the same team throughout and because of that progress was strange and sparse - only recently have things really got moving. In my eyes this is a very different mod to the one we started years back, the idea is obviously the same, but we have a different team and a very accurate direction to go in.
The mod looks good, so far. Thanks for getting it out there. Keep us updated
Nah, thanks to you guys for playing it! We wouldn't be anything without support and feedback.
