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, Tyranid and Chaos factions 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 by anyone. Major new versions will be announced here as they are released, but there are also fortnightly public Alpha builds which being incomplete, unbalanced and often unstable aren't generally worthy of news on ModDB, but are detailed at 40ksource.com.
Gameplay
Each map sees teams of players competing in a series of mission objectives, culminating in a battle to decide the fate of the planet. This mod is purely multi-player, there is no co-op mode or player bots available.
Players that do well for their team are rewarded with the option to use more powerful player classes including special and heavy weapons marines, Terminators, the tank like Carnifex and terrifying Lictor.

Warhammer 40k fan and Source artist Joazzz has contributed to Exterminatus a set of new space marine player models and skins. Joazzz seems to have really responded to the previous news item about how excited everyone was about him making new marines and finally managed to deliver on his promise.
This update to Exterminatus is thanks to Joazzz, without whom it would not have happened. If you see him in-game or on the Discord don't forget to thank him.

Future Plans
Joazzz is working on an overhaul for the dreadnaught and has offered to re-skin the scout to match the new marine models he's contributed. Joazzz has also expressed an interest is making new chaos marine variants.
A set of templates and instructions for re-skinning the new marine models is ChromeAngel's next piece of work, to enable anyone to make their own chapter skins for these shiny new marine models.

Hey!!! I love these models and the work done with them. Could I use them in short clips for my long video on Space Marine 2? (obviously when it comes out)
Are you ever adding bots? Game is cool but have yet to find a server on it. Will make yet another video on my youtube channel see if more people notice it this time. Last one i did was in 2015.
this mod is awesome ! can u add bots ? or is there any code to add bots in consule ?
go play !
do you need knowledge of warhammer 40K to play the game at it's best?
Of course not, why would you?
will you guys ever add bots that would be sick
If you guys need a voice actor, I know someone who does an amazing space marine impression.
Imperial Guard?
Does this mod work on Linux? Some mods don't because they don't contain the linux-equivalent of their .dlls which should be easy to add.
Sorry, no. EX does not have Linux so files.
As the lone coder for this mod I don't feels it's worth the hassle to try and get a Linux build environment running and port the VS solution to a form that will build there.
