Please see the above link for information - this is where I'll post information and where I'd like people to put things relevant to the actual modding, such as models they'd contribute, or ideas, orrequests to joinn the Mod.

Please feel free to discuss the mod and ask questions about how powerful units are, what units will be included, et cetera, here.

I'm planning a release in early/mid March, assuming I get enough help with unit cards and graphics.

The mod is for RTW 1.5 only (I haven't tested it on anything else).
EDIT; I'm moving it to 1.5 instead.

I would advise you to base the mod on RTW 1.5 and port the warhammer models and interface to that version. That way you will be able to use the newer animation packs from other mods like ME:TW, Forth Age and Blue Lotus, if you get permission from the authors. Also it would help the mod appeal more to modders and players alike.

Good luck with the project.

it would be really cool if GW went to CA for a warhammer total war gae where you can play most the factions. instead of rebels have beastmen etc. that would be far better than that mark of chaos game.

I'm pretty sure this mod already exists and has been running for some time, I advise you google it and find out more. I think it's over at the .org

@ SG; I know, read the linked topic above. This IS WHTW, but an improvement on the beta. The mod's site has now shut down, so I'm 'going public', as it were, with the stuff I've done since. The new Warhammer mod at the Org is for M2TW.

@ rstoner; 1.5 it is then.

What do people think of me doing a separate faction for the Dark Elven Cult of Slaanesh? This would mix slaaneshi chaos warriors, knights and demons with some of the more basic DE troops. I might do it 'cos it's not going to need new models and would be easy to code.

P.S. Any fantasy models/anims folks could contribute would be much appreciated, PM me if you have any.

Screenies will go up over the weekend.

Does anyone know where I could find some filespace for this mod?

Going to bed. Finally... too... tired...

Thanks everyone for all your support so far, muchly appreciated.

Work will commence on converting the mod to v. 1.5 over the weekend... in the meantime feel free to ask abut units and stuff.

Good luck with that! Hope all goes well cause it does sound interesting.

**Jubal_Barca** · January 25, 2007, 12:23 PM

Thanks for the support

Cmon post people

What do you most want to see in this mod ?

**Noble Savage** · January 25, 2007, 02:50 PM

You have my support,but I'm afraid I can't offer you much else. I just wanna see dark elves.

Good Luck on your project

**Jubal_Barca** · January 25, 2007, 02:52 PM

What, like these dark elves you mean?

**Noble Savage** · January 25, 2007, 02:54 PM

Yeah those are the ones! Thanks jubal_barca, again good luck and I'll be counting down the seconds

**Jubal_Barca** · January 26, 2007, 01:51 PM

Soz not yet - THis isn't my main modding computer I'm posting on, that one's full up with trying to download the 1.5 patch over a wireless connetion.
S - L - O - W

Chaos pics, wait til' tomorrow.

That said - will you download it when it's done?

**Noble Savage** · January 26, 2007, 01:53 PM

of course, haven't played any warhammer games (tabletop) since 15 years ago ,and I'm going through a retro time. did you get much help??

**Jubal_Barca** · January 26, 2007, 01:57 PM

Well I'm working on an original beta from a while back, thats where many of the troops (particularly Empire and Chaos) are from.

But as for help other than that base for the mod; N/a, 0, diddly squit.

The mod won't have many original models either as I don;t have the funds (or the hard disk space) for 3ds and most of the modellers are either busy or have already moved onto M2TW.

Ah well, I can always skin and code my way to glory

I play Fantasy dwarfs, and have done since I started highschool.

I've woken up at last. Slowly WHTW for 1.5 emerges, as a butterfly from a chrysalis...

Endless strings of error messages... slowly... dying... Nooooooo...

Still trying to get the new version working.

IT WORRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKSS!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Ok then, minibomb;

Just so's I don't get flamed;

These models and skins wre not created by me. At all. They are from the original beta that I am working form. Monosyllabic disclaimer over.

UPGRADE TO 1.5 COMPLETE!!
Thanks specially to;
rstoner and ciaran_s for giving advice
minibomb for giving incentive

**rstoner** · January 28, 2007, 01:32 PM

Yay! Well done mate, looks great.

**Jubal_Barca** · January 28, 2007, 01:34 PM

Thanks for the help. I am deeply in your debt.

Ok, the new anim pack has allowed some new units, I won't add these to the list in the other thread until I have them finished properly though.

I also updated the menu pics.

**Dr. Acculla** · January 29, 2007, 12:25 PM

Wow this is really good stuff I hope this mod go's somewhere. I really like the chaos chariots

**Noble Savage** · January 29, 2007, 12:32 PM

**Dr. Acculla** · January 29, 2007, 12:43 PM

Your welcome, I think more people should check this mod out it has good potential, though can I ask if the chaos warriors will be reskinned to match the new chaos warriors http://uk.games-workshop.com/hordeso...re-gallery/20/ just a suggestion mind :hmmm:
