Who are they? I've yet to see any camera work as detailed as mine. But there's many campaigns I haven't played.

I don't think that GW can sue you for making a mod as long as you don't earn a profit from it.

Games Workshop is notorious for vigorously defending their IP. They destroy mods for games that weren't their own if it is at all possible. :P

Vassago? Never heard of it. But sounds interesting, I'll look forward to it. The 2nd chapter of my campaign that I'm working on won't be out for months if ever.

It would probably make more sense to just create a mod with a gothic theme but one that doesn't borrow directly from Games Workshop. I love the idea of gothic architecture myself but when looking to waste some money I didn't find any of the BFG ships appealing enough personally.

But one thing that Freespace, or space gaming in general is lacking is a sort of . . . unrealistic magic-based space opera like Spelljammers or similar. I usually find fantasy extremely boring but put into some sort of pseudo-sci fi or maybe even a steampunk setting it can become more appealing. Most such games I've found are generally limited to boardgames and never make it into any other more popular media.

Games these days seem to be just space marines in power armour pretty much.



And I think NGTM-1R is right. Games Workshop is run by a board of directors, companies like that tend to look at the bottom line. And if it's something that can infringe upon that bottom line they'll pounce on it. I've never heard of any sort of GW-related mod, though then again I've not seen a lot of mods beyond FS2 ones.

 
There are a few WH40K mods in the works.  There's one for L4D and there are a few for FO3 (mainly Space Marine power armor and the like).  There's also a BFG mod in the works for Sins of a Solar Empire.  If this mod is done, I suggest you not make it a standalone game.  THQ has the exclusive right to make games in the W40K universe, free or not, and they might take offense.  If its a mod, you might be okay.  GW's IP restrictions are incredibly restrictive, however if you follow them chances are GW won't be angry and smite a BFG mod, especially since BFG is one of the properties they don't care about that much.

[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

I've actually seen a few Half-Life mods for Warhammer 40K. Just search through Mod Database.
