This mod is not monetised. I will not be doing any paid mods nor set up a patreon. This is not an official GW licensed product. I will also not pull the mod, and will keep it on the net since any takedowns would be without merit. This mod aims at modifying Dawn of War 2 Retribution to portray combat in a more lore-accurate manner. Prepare to find Space Marines as powerful as the books depict them, ork hordes in their hundreds, and dozens of Guard tanks shelling into an incoming tyranid horde!
Description
1.7 full release Install the mod into your main Dow II retribution folder. Readme file included with Credits and instructions. Run either with Astartes.bat, or go to your Steam, go to Retribution, go to Properties, set launch options as "-modname Astartes" ,without the ""s. I recommend setting graphics to Ultra high before installing or mod may crash on space marines. Races , tactics, and units: Space marines heroes all have a separate race attached. Chapter commander is Adeptus Astartes, unlocking the contemporary 40k Space marines. Legion commander is Legiones Astartes, unlocking the 30k era late Great Crusade Space marines. Grey Knights commander is Daemonhunters, unlocking the Grey Knights. IG heroes are the same: Cadian commander unlocks the standard IG. Krieg commander unlocks the Krieg IG. Not suppressible, but fire slower if more powefully with their lasguns. Tau commander: Tau race, similar a bit to IG. Very weak in melee, but good at range with plasma weapons.

Excellent!
Hello i notice like almost of units movement speed increased, i could be wrong for i haven't played lately, how do i tweak this manually? i kinda like a slow paced game. thank you for your updating the mod.
You would need to extract Astartesattrib.sga and edit them with the mod tools then recompile it again.
i have no knowledge about using any mod tools, it seems scary, i rather hide in the curtain. thanks for the reply
Good morning friends,
This incredible mod only works in the steam game?
My game is not from steam ;s
Would there be any way to run the mod?
Not sure I'm afraid.
Only older versions.
Hello. Thank you very much for your hard work and a great mod.
Tell me, please, why I do not see the squad of units named "Deathwatch kill team" (from the Grey Knights of Spacemarines)?
And I see very black textures for some soldiers in some squads of Spacemarines, -on the screenshots of the author these textures are much more beautiful, but I have these textures are not very beautiful, very much black. What do I need to change so that the textures are also displayed beautifully?
excuse me: i set ultra in options of graphic and this fix problem with very black textures.
But I do not see the squads of units named "Deathwatch kill team", "Primaris Intercessor Squad", "Primaris Hellblaster Squad", "Primaris Reavers" ...
You have to build the Teleporter Homer, the building the scouts can construct. it acts as a secondary base building and it can also recruit terminators and heroes.
Same case with Chaos shrines for the most part.
Thank you very much!
Put everything on the best possibly graphic setting and if that does not work, reinstall.
Grey Knights will get the Deatwatch in the next update. I initially did not want to mix Xenos and Malleus but there is demand for it.
I followed the instructions but when starting dawn of war 2 destroyer does not make me see the bloody raven mods.
I do not know if either good or bad written on game ownership on steam or written - Astartes mode opere or hacked the Astartes folder on gameassent, archives?
help me pls
Since my mod was based on Destroyer, you need to start my mod with Astartes.bat or use the steam properties launcher.
ive tried doing the set game launcher it doesnt work
Issues with installation, keeps crashing despite installing both as a straight file and integrating each piece into their correct place.
I'll need to know which directory the files are all in I'm afraid.
hello,first i need to say that : your mod is amazing and get my interest i like it, and like other mod that i have already make some modification for my personal purpose i want to do the same with your mod, but im stuck on something really stupid i guess... i use "cope mod tool" but when i try to load astartesattrib.sga file a windows pop with the warning "unable to find flb file, you probably won't able to open rbf".so i tried to search this flb file and i find it in gameattrib_orig.sga but its seems to contains only all data from the original game of all units stats and this cannot help.have you an idea ? can you help please ? (sorry for my bad english and you get blind by it lol).
You need to unpack the mod the first, than repack it every time you edit something.
You need these files:
DK - SGA Archive GUI 1.4.1.0-FIX (This needs to be FIX! version) to pack it.
SgaReader2_150209 to unpack it.
ok it looks like i'm stupid because i already had it all before i was not sure how it worked but now i know,thank you very much now i will be able to get back to work,just need 2 things the motivation and the time :D

I can't make new models but I'm afraid that Bloodravage did not finish his necron pack. Same for DE that have two units made.
Could you make a mod which simply replaces all the space marine models from Dow2 retribution with the legion heresy-era ones in this mod? I tried doing it myself but hit a dead end because I don't know how to edit .rbf files (cope's mod tool didn't work for me).
Good afternoon.
I have a problem with mod me and two of my friends wanted to play together with the mod.
The problem when we play all three insime in the game my friend crashes the game and we do not understand why.
But if we play two people in the lobby, the game will not crash.
Make sure that they have the same graphical options, installation and language, and check what races they play to narrow the issue down.
Hello DeusImperator and thank you for this great mod.
The Tau sergeant has no weapon in hands, is it a known bug ?
Which one? Like tau Fire warrior, heavy weapon team, etc.
hi DeusImperator, i was wondering where can I find the Deathwatch kill teams and the Primaris marines, ive been checking everything and i cant seem to find them.
edit: nvm. found them :D
Graviton Guns OP. Bloody Brilliant!
hey how do I install the mod into the game?
1. Simply install the mod into your main DoW II Retribution folder.
2. When you have done that go to your steam library and left-click on Retribution.
3. Go to properties and then to launch options.
4. Type or copy in this launch option: -modname Astartes
5. Start up Retribution and have fun.
This is old. Download 1.8 instead, all the full releases work without needing the previous ones.
