A Mod

An Unnamed, Undecided, WIP Mod

I'm still thinking of what to do with some models in my PC. I decide to make a mod but I'm not sure what time frame or world I base it on. Here are some screenshots of them.

WWI Models

Warhammer 40K Units

I'll be posting more screenshots soon.

I'm thinking of WWI but the model reminds me of the Death Korps of Krieg too. So here's where my mind splits up. Both mods seem impossible to do without air support and stuff. Tanks can be doable but planes don't work. I'm thinking of maybe making them as spies and stuff that "fly" around the map on Recon Missions. Unfortunately, this only works well with a WWI Mod since WH40K Thunderhawks and Valkyries don't really fit that role.

This leads me to think of doing some other fantasy mod without planes. A fantasy mod where troops don't use WWI Rifles but instead use the old muskets of early 18th-19th century. You'd have Cavalry lancers, melee specialized troops, and cannons. I think I'd add orcs too and something similar to chaos daemons or evil daemons. Something along the lines of Rise of Legends (Technology vs Magic) and Warhammer Fantasy.

So I'll let the community decide on what kind of mod I should make. Preferably utilizing the models I already have. Which is it going to be?

I went with WWI. Good luck!

Uploaded screens of artillery. It doesn't look like one from WWI, but with a few tweaks here and there, it will be.

EDIT: Also included an Armoured Car. If I'm not mistaken, it's an Austin-Putilov. I'll be posting some more screens of models to help you get decided. I've got a Chimera, Leman Russ Tank, Tactical Space Marine, Assault Marine, and even a Sentinel.

Updated screens and I also cleaned up to make it organized. I know many of the modders here will be reluctant to join my team since such mods have never been attempted before and have been deemed impossible by the greatest of TWC. It is quite an ambitious project. I'm showing the ready-made models in hopes that many will be attracted to this. I will be working on this with or without a team. Nothing is impossible to him who will try.

Not impossible, just buggy and/or very difficult to make the mod look "right.

I will wait and see what you do in the near future before making my decision. I don't want to select something too difficult for you and ruin your chances at a potentially great mod.

I do know it would be difficult to make them look right. For example a normal tank can fire while moving. The very least that a mod on this platform can do is make the tank fire when stationary. A system similar to the steam tanks of COW and cannons of MTW2. The armoured cars will also be a problem. They could use the horse archer's anims that can allow them to move fast and fire while moving but it won't look good with 50 or more armoured cars in a unit. This leads me to conclude that the only system and anims that could work perfectly are the cannons. 3 or 4 in a unit could work. That at least could make the mod playable and fun.

I don't know if it's possible to make some navy units work on land. Turn them into "planes". The campaign map only and not in battle map. Make a copy of the port building change the model to an airbase and allow these "planes" to be recruitable.

Also I know the mod will fit in other Total War platforms like Empire and Napoleon. But I don't know how to mod them.

Ignore

If WWI wins majority of the votes, which is very likely, can some of you guys post pictures of WWI helmet types and uniforms?

Regarding WH40K, I have models of all 19 Primarchs and the Emperor himself(19 because of Alpharius and Omegon)

I've got a made-up map too if we decide to do a different fantasy mod with magic and stuff set in 19th-20th century.
