Thunderhawk assault for Black Templars - in the Campaign only.

i need this mod please ill pay u :) when i go to download beta 3 the website u said all i get sent to is a page in russina o_O can i get a different DL link please? i love the black templars i NEED this mod BAD please reply :(
You don't have to read anything, just enter the verification code and click the big green button that I assumed was the download button. Pretty obvious if you've downloaded something before.
What I am trying to say is that The mod Simply Adds a New race( By reading) It looks like you will try and Balance The BT with the original Dawn of war Soulstorm. Finally i'll get to play with the Black Templar without the FoK Stats and Closer to codex theme.(I mean no offence to FoK but when you sit and play The FoK Mod for 2 years it gets Dull.) However I may be wrong with your intentions. I don't see why people wouldn't want to play this..Over the Original. I rather play a Soulstorm with a BT army then one without!
You do not only "will to play", but already can ;)
This mod is in the kind-of-mature state, since 1st public beta was released in 1st March 2010. Now, when I moving to the 3rd public beta, I decide to post mod info here, on MODDB.
You can find the download link to the Beta-3 Release Candidate Build in the revora forum (see "Official Page" link in the right, no registartion required) to estimate a current state of BT mod development.
