Warhammer 40k Mod/Expansion?

So I was watching the armies for Warhammer 40k at <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com" target="_blank">http://www.games-workshop.com</a> and was thinking that the armies would fit PERFECT in the NS2 universe..
Natural Selection is out in the space and every WH40k army is from space somewhere and all would probably want resources ^^

*Imperial Guards: Is the current Marine race in the NS2 game, Low tech Humans wich struggle to survive.. The game already have Imperial Guard armor recolor ^^

*Tyranids: Is the current Alien race in the game right now, Fast aliens that swarm the enemies with melee units and some ranged :]

And then we have all theese races wich all is very interressting and have really awesome units,

*Blood Angels
*Space Marines
*Grey Knights
*Sisters of Battle
*Space wolves
*Chaos Daemons
*Chaos Space Marenes
*Dark Eldar
*Eldar
*Necrons
*Orcs
*Tau Empire

By adding more races it would make the game more flexible and clan matches would become a really insane experience when people can choose so many races.
Every race that is needed is already is already in the Warhammer40k table top game :) Tyranids look insane and so does Imperial guards so if somebody would get the rights to mod the game then it would become a really insane game and every Warhammer fan would love the game..

Every Warhammer 40k army have some Units/elites that could act like the ONOS/ExoSkeleton,
Imperial gurads have Heavy tanks/Arcs and Sentinels/Exoskeleton,
Tyranids got some big ass Heavy support units and elites wich could acs as Onos.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE NS2 as it is right now but more armies would be really fun to have and I have never seen a FPS with this many forces wich have such a solid gameplay idea live NS2 have. The Game would just get bigger and even more amazing :)

And in the future maybe you could create even bigger maps with maps for 1v1v1v1 ? One team starts at each corner of the map and this gamemode could have a matchmaking so that every team need 2+ players to start and the the team with the lowest ammount of players will be the one you can join. It would become instant action with enemies everywhere ^^ FUUUUN !! And When one team destroys another team then they all who lost gets to choose wich one of the currently alive teams to join. But the teams still needs to be balanced in player amounts so you can only join the team that is down 1-2 players. Or maybe it could be so that the underpowered currently alive team can get 3+ players more then the other leading teams just because they need to get back in to the game. The team balance in members could have something to do with the resource income. You can't join the strongest team if the teams have equal amount of players because they do not need help.

Think about this, One expansion is free at the middle and each team rush there with 10+ units to take it over, 40+ players would create a real warzone! ..

This was only an Idea but it sure would fit perfect in the NS2 universe. There is space for more than just Aliens and Marines in that universe :]

    I love the WH40k-universe. But for NS2? Hell no! Wh40k is about massive battles. The NS2-Engine cant manage 20+ Servers perfect. And the only environment-setting that NS2 have would be the "spacehulk".

    That mod-team would have more work than UWE with NS2 :>.

    This would be insanely fun, but I cannot imagine how many balancing issues would come from this.

    First you got space marines as a playable race, a force of titans who (according to lore) a few will purge a planet. Wouldn't be much fun to play tyranids or orcs against them!

    Would have to merge imperial guard and space marines I guess, making the space marines as the endgame unit.


    Good pairings to fight eachother I think:
    <ul><li>Tyranids vs Imperial Guard - as you said.</li><li>Space marines vs Eldar - Chaos would be an obvious choice, but they would probably play too similar to space marines. With eldar have teleporters, warp spiders and more interesting aesthetic.</li><li>Grey Knights vs Chaos Marines</li></ul>

    However UWE could never do this since Warhammer isn't a freely used IP. They would need to get permission from the owners, pay royalties, etc. You could make this as a mod if you wished.

    Which came first "Aliens" or "Space Hulk" ?

    Given that GW is incredibly protective of their IP, I don't see it happening. They've even issued cease and desist orders to fans making models for other games.

    This is probably more fitting in the modding section (as you would require this to be built as a mod. logic. done.) Moving. Nice use of Break tags btw. can just hit enter, does the same thing :)
    Actually scrap that, it's a necro of an old thread which probably doesn't want to be discussed anymore, closing.
