This mod consists of a transformation of some of Dark Crusade characteristics by adding more techs, including the powerful Veteran tech, new units and abilities that make all races different from the ones in the original Dark Crusade. Some of the new features of this mod include aircraft abilities, like thunderhawks dropping bombs on the battlefield or valkyries bombing a target. This mod is still in the early phases of development, so stay tunned for updates.
A display of some of the renegade forces currently available to chaos players in the Veteran Mod. While renegades have some similarities to imperial guard troops (especially in what relates to weapons and other wargear), their units and their commanders work in a different way from the loyalist guards of the Imperium.
The units seen in the video consist of common chaos renegades, renegade disciples (armour looks similar to IG karskins and they have a camouflage pattern), renegade heavy weapon teams and the command squad.

Renegades are more durable due to the gifts of the dark gods and are particularly effective against infantry especially when led by a commander. Disciples can be led by a champion and are essentially better armoured and more experient versions of renegades, thus dealing more base damage and possessing more health.

Heavy weapon teams will provide you with defensive or offensive fire support which can be focused as anti-infantry, anti-vehicle or be general use. Heavy weapon teams can provide indirect fire support if equipped with mortars, to serve as a close to the frontline artillery-like unit.
Besides preachers renegades can attach enforcers (role similar to a commissar) or psykers (detector and
