This mod is the result of months of kitbashing images to create new variants of existing units and, in some cases, even new units. Basically, I was unhappy with the choices of units in the game, I simply felt that a large number of units were practically useless, mostly because of poor weapon choises and weak weapon synergy (Devil Dogs without multimeltas, LR Exterminators with lascannons, etc.). In Addition, some images didn't properly reflect the unit (the furioso dreadnought uses the ba ironclad dreadnought, one of the salamander predators has no sponsons, etc.) and the weapon & unit stats were sometimes very...inconsistent (six heavy bolter firing the same amount of shots as four). So, I tried to change that and to tweak the game mor to my liking, but in the end I might have gone a little overboard....
So, what does this mod actually do?
1) It adds more than 500 new unit variants and several new units for the steel legion, space marines and orks to the game, including but not limited to storm troopers, heavy weapon squads with auto- or lascannons, veteran squads, special weapon squads with plasmaguns, ironclad dreadnoughts with hurricane Bolters, doom- & hellhammer super-heavy tanks, colossus bombards (not to be confused with the bombards already in the game) and of course valkyries, vultures, storm eagles, stormtalons, land raiders, leman russ tanks, warhound & reaver titans with almost ALL their posible weapon combinations.
So, did you ever want to field a warhound titan with two megabolters? A Leman Russ Punisher with three heavy flamers? An Annihilator with a lascannon and two meltas? Or do you prefer one with two plasma cannons? Did you ever dream of blasting an orc gargant with two volcano cannons mounted on your reaver or to lay waste to theese pesky gretchin mobs with two gatling cannons on your vulture gunship? Well, you can do that now!
2) The mod also alters the weapon & unit stats to be more consistent and in line with their tabletop counterparts. The changes are based on the current 8th edition, but differ in some cases for balance reasons (for example, Space Marines get two hitpoints to make them more durable). Not that this mod is in any way truly balanced, especially the point cost, but as a pure single player mod it should work.
3) New Attack animations for certain units, like the Leman Russ & Predator Annihilators, the Wyvern or the Macharius Vulcan.
4) Lastly, I modified the campaign and scenario maps, so that the new ork units show up as enemies. Some maps should be a little harder now, especially the last mission, but are still doable.

And there is no diffirence between space marines chapters. In vanilla, ultramarines was cheaper, salamanders has more armor and blood angels - more accurate. In your mod all space marines have same stats except salamanders, they have -3 initiative (it's a bug, i think)
