I think it would match up pretty well - not sure about exact 1:1 rules matching, but the basic framework would support both the core rules and something like the Spacehulk approach.

Obviously not something WE could do, but could be an uber-mod :)

Cheers

That's what I thought when first playing the game!

The game mechanics are perfect for a WH40k mod. However, GW is a bit clingy when it comes to IP - so I don't think we will ever see a WH40k mod...

I love the base game, and have marveled at the excellent WWI scenario. The latter made me realize that I'd love to see the engine used for Warhammer 40k or Battletech. I'm don't know if it is possible to implement damage mechanics for mechs, but the sighting, shooting, movement and different weapon/ammunition features all seem to be present.

Oh, of course point-buying would be nice too.

Oh yeah ... BA can do detailed damage, it's a matter of adding/writing the script to the damage scripts.

To start a mod, you need a few unit's built .... TopoSolitario built one awhile back (Secrets of the Reich) ... see posting below

Oh that was interesting, thanks for the link. I'll admit that my desire will not translate into my action though. I've no scripting ability/experience or the time to learn it. I'm always willing to donate in thanks for a good mod, but that is pretty much the extent to which I can contribute.
