Game play Experience:

The game will focus on a thrilling and adrenalin filled experience based on the sense of self-preservation and teamplay. The game starts with all players choosing loadout/classes for what they want to play that round. All players are Tactical marines per default, but one player will be randomly selected to play as the master of renegade forces. The Space marines will be assigned a mission specific for that particular level and have to preform the mission and make it back to the extraction point in one piece without dying once. If a Tactical marine falls in battle, the player will be swapped over to the Renegade team and increase the difficulty level for the remaining marines.

The Renegade team which starts of with only one player and have endless amounts of AI reinforcements that can be called in to the level at any time, buying units with points earned over time. And also have endless amount of lives and several classes to choose from at each re-spawn.

Having the Renegade forces gaining more points over time for each tactical marine killed, also unlocks new units for each ladder of percentage of the marine squad slain (ex. 25% - 50% - 90%)

The difficulty curve sky rocket with each loss of a team mate, forcing the players to help each other like real brothers in arms. You are not mistaken when you think "this is crazy" It is supposed to be extremely difficult and it is a real achievement to win as a tactical marine, after all, the odds are against you.

Lots have happend this past year, when i started this mod, i had big plans and ideas, and after being shot down by the GW legal department it really bursted my bubble. And i was to commit the models to the UT40k Team, however the communication somewhat lacked and my computer burst in to flames, and after a while when i managed to get a new one i was too tired to bother picking up the pieces, and thus no real progress was made in that area.

But whenever i get spare time i start to glance back on the fact that i want a good warhammer non-mainstream-factory-clone game. And i want one, even IF the GW steals it from under my nose.

I have thoughts on picking up and polish my old models with my new art skills and create a miniature online multiplayer game.
something like warefare for unreal3... but in warhammer mode. Something very simple.

Any ideas?

I have a job so my time is limited but i will need all the help i can get on this one, UDK engine experts and coders, level designers animators etc.

I can provide the art myself as i am now a proffessional at it. But i really need someone that knows his way around the engine.
