Community submissions

Hands of Fate has released v0.6 of his Drop Pods with Badges texture - a must for anyone who wants more chapter-themed drop pods to deliver their troops.

Mr Pasta has also submitted a new badge and banner set for the Ravagers chapter, as seen in the Space Marine Codex.

Many thanks to both authors for their work and submissions.

Relic release Dawn of War 1.4 patch

Anyone who has hunted it down, played online or seen the huge amount of Modder complaints will now know that the 1.4 patch has been released, just before the release of Winter Assault (which should hopefully come with the patch included).

Other than breaking the majority of Mods, the one change that this makes that affects this site is that you no longer have the option of using an "eye" colour in the Army Painter. The "eye" colour has now been renamed to "Trim 2", and affects the Tactical arrow on the shoulder pad of the Space Marines, plus some other areas of other textures.

Luckily, I have had a 'fix' for the Space Marines available for a long time now - the Generic Space Marines. Hopefully I will also be able to host replacements of the old versions of the other altered textures soon.

Update: The Original Space Marine Barracks texture is now available for download. This texture will revert the barracks to the same texture as it had pre-1.4 patch, so chapters such as the Blood Angels will not have a large green tactical arrow on the side of the building!

More new Orks

For a short while, before the downloads were moved into the current Downloads module, we had a checkered Ork pattern that was hosted on tigerwolf.uni.cc. Unfortunately, the download never seemed to work and the site was often down.

Now we have a replacement - Checkered Orks (Black)!. This set adds checks to the shoulder pads of the Ork infantry and Nobs, and also improves the ammo textures of the sluggas and shootas slightly.

Coming soon will be a full black and white checkered pattern plus a team colourable checkered skin.

Thumbnails added to nine downloads

Nine of yesterday's downloads (eight from Mel Danes' collection and the Drop Pod skin from Hands of Fate) have now had thumbnails added. All of them previously had links to screenshots, but thumbnails are always a bonus - especially for those on 56K modems who don't want to wait for 100KB+ of screenshot to load!

Also, coming soon (already!) is another version of the Drop Pods skin. Hands of Fate has completed and finished some changes and has submitted it to the site. It will be available just as soon as I check it and get screenshots and thumbnails.

Eleven (11) new downloads!

In another push towards being the one-stop-shop for all of your skinning needs, I've just finished adding all of Mel Danes' previous work as well as two new skins from Unknowndude and a long outstanding Drop Pod skin from the Relic Forums.

Mel Danes' work includes his vehicle skins, which match the vehicles in his table top army, and the Terminators and Space Marines. I have also added his Chaos Lord retexture that was done by request - much more gruesome!

From Unknowndude I have added his Chaos Space Marine retexture and his Camo Boyz orks, the first Ork texture from someone else that is hosted here.

The last skin to report is the Drop Pods with Badge texture from Hands Of Fate. The work was originally created for a new mod, but has been released separately and only just added when I realised it was there! My apologies to Hands Of Fate, but people can now improve their Drop Pods with the inclusion of the Chapter badge as well as the existing team colouring.

Most of the new downloads already have screenshots, although none of them currently have thumbnails. Thumbnails, and screenshots for those downloads without any, will hopefully be added soon.

Two new looks for the website

Following some work and a bit of experimentation, I've now added two new looks to the website. If you want to change your skin for the visit, select it from the "Skin Chooser" box in the side bar.

The first, which will become the default soon, is a Winter Assault inspired skin. The Dawn of War: Winter Assault expansion pack is only a month away now, so I thought the site could do with it's own theme.

The second theme is for those of you who don't like light skins. Based around a Word Bearer's Chaos Lord, the Dark skin is all done in greys and deep reds.

I hope you enjoy the new skins, and hopefully I'll migrate them to the Forums as well soon.

  • Rangers with Ice Lands Camo
  • Rangers with Urban Camo
  • Rangers with Woodland Camo
  • Tiger Grav Tank
  • Tiger Wraithlord

Thanks to Rhedd for pointing out the errors, and if anyone encounters any problems in future, please contact me.

Storm Lords texture available

Newly added (following the creation of a Storm Lords banner and badge set by Hangar-8) is the Storm Lords compatible Halved infantry with changable helmets texture. This texture is an addition to the Halved Space Marine texture that was previously available, replacing the normal Space Marine and Terminator textures but using the same vehicle textures.

Ork and Eldar textures, plus badges and banners

I've now added the first Ork texture to the site (or the first Ork texture since the previous one, hosted at tigerwolf.cc died with no-one to supply me with a copy to host) - Grimjaw's Orks. This texture adds Eye colourable warpaint to the lower jaw of all Orks and is based on my Waagh! Grimjaw table top army.

I've also released the eldar Guardian from a Codex Craftworld Eldar texture set I had planned a while ago. It allows you to create some colour schemes that more closely match some found in Codex:Craftworld Eldar, including the alternate Biel-Tan Swordwind colours.

Also added are some Space Marine badges and banners - a full badge, banner and teamcolour pack for the Imperial Fists plus two badges and two teamcolour files for the quartered Novamarines chapter.

The Mentor Legion arrive

Following requests and some previous ideas on the matter (see the badly informed first attempt in the form of the Alternate Space Marine Infantry) I have now created and added the Mentor Legion patter. The pattern includes textures for all chapter coloured infantry, plus the dreadnought (because it is roughly human) and even features the company coloured stripe on the helmet!

I've also added an updated Team Colour for the Mentors, a Mentor Legion badge, plus an example image for the Chaos Undivided army scheme
