Overview
This mod needs animators me@chromeangel.co.uk
This mod is set in Games Workshop's, great Warhammer 40,000(40k) universe, as seen in Dawn of War and our previous mod for Half-Life, 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.
Once more the Imperium is under threat. The extra-galactic menace of a new Tyranid hive fleet has arrived. A billion billion creatures with a single, vast mind, hungering for organic matter. Unopposed a hive fleet can strip a living world to bare bedrock, consuming all life, air and water to create yet more Tyranids.
A versions of Exterminatus for map development is available for download from The 40k Source Website or Moddb. This kit includes dozens of prop models, textures and example maps that show how the various map entities work in order to get your very own Thunderhawk or Harpy cruising over the rooftops to a landing zone.
The gameplay aspect of Exterminatus is currently under construction. News of the mod's progress being reported monthly on it's forum, website and moddb, including screen shots from alpha test sessions.Features

History
Learning from the teams experiences with developing mods for Half-life and Half-Life 2 the team set out with some realistically achievable goals. Exterminatus is is more a sequel to Rival Species in spirit than in design. Rival Species has a very broad scope, hoping to include the many species of the 40k universe, after five years it is clear that the vast quantity of content this approach required was damaging to the quality of the content and gameplay. Prefering enjoyable gameplay over the seemingly endless task of recreating the enormous 40k universe the team have decided to focus on just two species. As an 40k fan will tell you the "Imperium of man" and it's Space Marine a no-brainer choice for one species, the other was not so clear, so we have created a public settings poll to allow the public to guide our choice. After a very close call the public decided on the Tyanid setting.
