We will be making custom maps for the mod, with custom object on them. We believe that the first release will only contain the Chaos Legion, because this is going to take some time to make. It will also give us some feedback that we can use when creating the other armies. We plan on making the majority if the buildings similar to the buildings from the original Dawn of War.

We are leaving it in there so that you can play the compaign if you want.

Actually, its Ahriman of the Thousand Suns.

Thank you! I tried to make him look as awesome as possible. I used 3ds Max for this one.

Yes it is. It is just a place holder until we make our own models.

We probably could use their models for our mods(with permission), but we would like to use our own because we are also trying to improve our modeling skills, as well as make an awesome mod.

This is going to be a mod for Company of Heroes, so you will play this separately from the original Company of Heroes.

Our plan is to make their firing range almost nothing so that they must close the gap with the enemy. Then when they get to the enemy, their fire animation will be a melee animation. You can see an example of this in the Zombie mod for Company of Heroes. Only problem with that is that the zombies don't have a melee animation yet.

Nothing worth doing comes easy :)

We were thinking of trying add the stances from the original Dawn of War(Ranged, melee, etc...). As for the Titans, they will be late game commander upgrades. I am not sure about the Titan close combat, but I think that we will just have the Titan shoot any other Titan they encounter, rather than go into melee with it.

Sure are. I think he is going to be a commander upgrade.

We are not to sure about the order, but yes.

Not for a while. We are still getting things set up.

As you can clearly see, you said in your first post that Dawn of War 2 and Company of Heroes uses the same engine:

"i just dont see the point of this mod, just get DoWII, same engine same units.."

I am also not going to buy a game just so I can mod it. Company of Heroes does not support melee on its own, that is why it is called a mod. We have discussed this many times on how we are going to put melee into the game. Melee has been done in Company of Heroes, just take a look at the Zombie mod. The zombies melee you and you die.

Well it's a different engine, different gameplay, different units, and most certainly not the same as the original. Which is why we are making this mod.

Do you have any plans on releasing a tutorial of you actually painting the UV? By the way, awesome tutorial!

Well played sir, well played.

Not at the moment. We are currently setting up all of the files to get the mod up and running.

Dawn of War 2 and Company of Heroes do not use the same engine.

Nothing is better than WAR!!!

What do you think has to be done on it? I thought it looked pretty good.

It is the base body for the Predator variants. I haven't taken a good look at the Rhino yet, but I believe that it is similar ti the Predator. So I will tweak this body to fit the Rhino. Thanks for the feedback!

We wanted to use Company of Heroes as a base because it already has the building structure that we need for Dawn of War. Plus, what fun is it if they already have most of the models done for you?

Kill the game in a good way or bad way?

So far we have been putting up everything that we have done, whenever it gets finished. We haven't really decided when we will update. I think for now, we will keep having the frequent updates until things take longer to do. Thanks for the interest!

Thanks! I will do my best!

3D table top would be awesome.

Thanks!

Thank you very much.

At this stage, it would only be against the Allies.
