No MOD thread would be complete without mention of the one, the only, the mind-boggingly good Skirmish AI. Really good fun, probably my favourite mod at the moment along with Codex Complete. Plus, all units and buildings scaled down to more realistic (and low resolution friendly) sizes. Plus the vehicles are MUCH more fluff-based now. infantry get cut down by gunfire and vehicles shredded by heavy guns. Completely changes the game to about 10x more realistic Warhammer epicness. Played it ages ago but it's now been improved.

Them I did some research into more mods and found one called Codex Complete. Oh, and did I mention it uses the awesome Skirmish AI? Essential stuff. For example the Tau have been completely re-worked to use a different path system, the marines structure changed.

hell, they even re-made the icons! Best of all though is that the gameplay mechanic has been significantly changed, and if you play each race you will see the sheer depth of the changes that have been made. not to mention a heap of new unit types and upgrades that really give it the '40k feel' that was lacking from the original. there are tons of new armies (specific and unique SM chapters, Chaos Demons, IG Chaos Renegades, Grey Knights, Inquisition etc etc) and models (thanks to the closer to codex team), effects, sounds. The team who made it have created the game DOW can really stretch its legs in. if you haven't installed this yet then it's a MUST-HAVE. Personally for me this is one of the best. Then download and install Tyranids / Chaos Daemons / Inquisition Daemon Hunters from here Staggering.ĭownload it here (base game, then latest patch) You simply have to play it, it's the most epic mod I have ever seen. I can see this sucking up some serious time now as I rekindle my love of all things Dawn of War. The zoom has also been outrageously tweaked and you can basically zoom out across entire maps. here are some mods you shouldn't be without!
