Setting
This mod is set in Games Workshop's, great Warhammer 40,000 ( 40k ) universe, as seen in Dawn of War and our previous mod WH40K : Rival Species.
The 40k universe is set in the year 40,000 by which time mankind has colonized millions of worlds thought the galaxy by interstellar warp travel. Humanity is ruled by a vast, uncaring, priesthood/bureaucracy on Earth in the name of an all powerful God/Emperor. A galaxy of insidious alien races have threatened and fought the Imperium since its earliest days in innumerable wars and battles.
Developers of this mod have deliberately chosen to include only the Imperium and Tyranid races out of the many that exist in the 40k universe in order to focus on the quality and polished that the mod would not have otherwise. Please do not ask about the other 40k races.
Status
Exterminatus is feature complete and the game is fully playable. A public beta is available for anyone that wants to try it. New beta versions will be announced here, but there are also weekly public alpha builds which are posted on the EX homepage at 40ksource.com . Alpha builds, being incomplete, unbalanced and often unstable aren't really worthy of news on moddb.
Development is still going on to improve existing features. Asking if the mod is dead when we have posted news in the last 8 weeks will get your comment deleted. These things take time to do right and must not be rushed.
Gameplay
Each map sees the Marines and Tyranids competing in a series of mission objectives, culminating in a battle to decide the fate of the planet.
Players that do well for their team are rewarded with the option to use more powerful player classes including special and heavy weapons marines, the tank like Carnifex and terrifying Lictor.
Features
Getting Together
Regular scheduled games are being hosted on a number of dedicated servers several times each week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 8PM BST (GMT+1). Alpha tests of the bleeding edge updates to EX are held on Sunday evenings around 7PM BST. Please check our steam community page for upcoming scheduled games and servers addresses.

Can you play against bots as one team ?
No, there are no bots for this mod.
The Manual link doesn't work and it wont run after the installer finished
The site has taken a bit of a hammering from spammers, but it's accessible again now.
The mod has come along way! Just wish it had more people playing :(
Suddenly an Anonymous guy.
Please tell me this thing runs on Mac.
I am not aware of anyone having run EX on a Mac. I am not even sure that the Source SDK Base is available on Mac. I think it unlikely due to the windows library references in the source code.
Valve might release a posix compatible SDK one day, but I would not hold my breath.
Well, If you ran it in a composed windows environment like Wineskin it should work in theory, if i have the time i'll test it out.
really enjoying this mod kinda wish it was more active,really fun while people are on tho thanks for the mod.
HL2 is NOT required to play this mod, just the "Source SDK 2007 Base" , which you can get from the Tools Library in Steam.
