For this mod I propose to totally convert Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, and possibly Soulstorm so that 2 new playable races are introduced, these are:
Empire
Dark Elves

Because of the hurdle presented by a total conversion, this mods first aims are low key, as detailed in this mod Design document:
Filefactory.com

Though the mod design document details most of our aims and plans, we still need team members to help us carry this off, positions required to be filled include:
Animators
Riggers
Texturers

If this mod runs over from Dawn of war Soulstorms lifespan during it's production it will be overhauled for Dawn Of War 2 and released on that.

If you are interested in helping, please PM me on this or email me at elioty at hotmail dot co dot uk

Expect an update with screens soon.

Hey everyone i've been neglecting the mod forums: Z15.invisionfree.com for a while and so just returned to them today as well as moddb, also a link to the current RelicNews thread where all progress is currently taking place:
Forums.relicnews.com

In other news, progress is going slower than something very slow, I lack an animator a rigger, and all the people that could help me out with textures and ultimately getting the models in game, so this is definitley going to run into Dawn of war 2.

All modelling is now done.

bah thats stupid DoW2 will have buildings of some sort, i mean even though the majority of the infantry are called in from space, it could still work like CoH (which they said it is going to be exactly like) CoH there are a lot of buildings that call in off map units, Civilian Buildings are converted into HQs and Barracks.

Though i had originally planned a mod with not much originality it seems now that release will be set back till dawn of war 2, as dawn of war 2 has no buildings, it may indeed follow other warhammmer games.

Sorry for the no updates but as it's exam time i've not been doing work and as the team currently consists of me (everyone else having done their job remarkably well) this non-progressing progress is not progressing well.

Both lizardmen and dwarves are armies that i'd like to mod, I'd originally wanted to do lizardmen in the first release, but since the engine doesn't do organic particularly well, I thought i'd leave it.

As for originality, check comment next.

How are you hoping to make this mod unique?

Most Warhammer games have no building involved- will you focus heavily on defences? Will reinforcements still be planned?

Other races for a first release is a hell of a lot of work so there will only be Dark elves and empire in the first release, but certainly we would work on more after that.
