Battlefront 40 000 WIP

I have been working on this mod for a while now, It's based on the Warhammer 40 000 universe from the tabletop game and the RTS Dawn of War.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40%2C000_species)
It won't be as good as "Battlefield 40k" for the battlefield series, cause they got a team of professionals and know how to make good models, while this is just re-skins and odf-editing. Cause ZE won't work I will use shipped maps, and the factions will be Space Marines (100% done) Imperial guard (90% done) Eldar (50% done) and Tau (40% done). This is because they are easy to make by re-skinning shipped units. The weapons and units will be full of mistakes, but I think it still gives the right feel. Anyways, here are some screens:
Removed the screens, they were outdated and took lots of space.

i advise using the darktrooper for ALL the Space Marines. the darktrooper is the most closest Space Marine looking IMHO

Yeah I know, but the head shape is slightly wrong, and the eagle on the chest looks a bit screwed up with those red knots on the wings. The best of course would be a new model, but Ill just try using both where it fits best.

Nice Job, although I recommend a few changes:
the imperial guard should have the dc-15A rifle, it looks closer to their real lasgun
You should make the sentinel from the AT-RT, just give it some camo and a laser cannon then your done
the tau fire warrior i think would fit better with a reskinned tantive crewmember with a backpack

Ill keep it in mind, but this is just a beta-thing, Im hoping to make a better version later with custom models. I would need help from someone who can model tough. That would be better cause it would include orcs and chaos. They can't be made with these assets cause they need lots of spikes and horns and such. But Ill try the atrt and dc15a when I find their assets.

btw by crew member you mean engineer right?

By the crewmember, I mean the default rebel model on Tantive IV. Oh yeah I think the sentinel would be better off with the at-st since the pilot is also inside a seal cockpit

I made many different IG skins using almost every rebel model, but this one turned out best. But since the IG legions use different uniforms Ill change them on different maps. Same with the SM i think.

New screens: updated Fire warrior and the final IG soldier.

Yeah, only the the higher ranking eldar have skirts, oh and i think you could use ventress as a the harlequin

EDIT: just for clarification, you arent using the tantive rebel as the Tau fire warrior rite?

The ventress thing is a good idea I guess, Ill try it.
Im using the standard ep3 clone, the tantive people have faces, the tau use closed helmets, cept for the officers,
and for them Ill reskin stormtrooper Han or something.

Its kinda both, but cause ZE wont work Ill have to use shipped maps.

EDIT
UPDATE - Chaos Legions:

They look a bit different from the standard Chaos Marines, but its good with some different looks on the units. Ill make a dark-trooper version too.

Dude, wait until he says he needs beta testers or else that would be way unfair for the othe people
