Rixirite Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 With the release of the Space Marine terminator armors in that 40k mod I believe it is time someone made a Space Hulk mod. In case no one is familiar with Space Hulk, it is a giant vessel in the Warhammer 40k universe crawling with Tyranid scum. Space Hulk would have to include a new space ship enviroment with tight corridors and little room to navigate and would include Terminators equipped with a variety of weaponry to repel the tyranid incursion. Story wise, you could make a Terminator NPC that is near megaton who needs a recruit to go into the Space Hulk and assist fellow Terminators in exterminating the Tyranid population with heavy weaponry and heavy armor. The quest can involve a long and challenging game of survival and assaulting tyranid hives within the Space Hulk, and you could be armed with a variety of terminator weapons like the Assault Cannon, Storm Bolter, Power Fist, Power Claws, Storm Hammer, and Heavy flamer. The visual preference of Space Hulk is all about Dark tight corridors and hangar bays, etc in a giant space ship. You could be equipped with terminator armor from the recruiter and given a storm bolter as a first weapon. As you get deeper into the game you can pick up better stronger weapons and get upgrades for your armor that allows you to handle tougher swarms of Tyranids. My idea for Space Hulk would involve a HUGE quest that is 10+ hours so it doesn't end quick. I could imagine there are plenty of people on this nexus site that knows what Space Hulk is.

illuminatus2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I am familiar with and a fan of 40k and I know what a Space Hulk is, but I think turning the wasteland into someting 40k would be more attractive. There's so much content out there already that combined would make a great mod. But I should make a seperate thread instead of hijacking this one.

Rixirite Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Space Hulk would not replace the wasteland in any way. But I have an idea. Why not combine Space Hulk with a 40k wasteland so that everywhere you go is the 40k universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordJefferson101 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 This sounds really interesting guys, I have actually thought about this idea myself. However building a new 40k wasteland isn't feasible, better to make a space hulk which you teleport to. I would be keen on helping with fluff, stories and ideas as my modding skills are limitted.

Guest deleted2588518 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm going to bump this. I was in the shower today day dreaming about my time spent in old FPS games. One thought passed to another and low and behold... Fallout 3. Man I love running around in 40K Power Armor in Fallout 3. Then it struck me... Wouldn't it be pretty damn awesome to have a Space Hulk mod? Ok so try to keep up with me here as I'm rushed for time. (leaving for work soon) Mothership Zeta ----> Full of Aliens that you pretty much completely destroy. You get a ship as a reward. However its pretty useless after the DLC is complete... Soo... Once you encounter MSZ and kill all on board and acquire said ship. Lets say a Space Hulk just... You know.. Drops from the warp in close enough range for the Alien craft to pick it up on its 'insert alien equivalent to radar/sensors/whatever'. The ship is obviously derelict right? So in the mind of a wastelander, the first instinct is to what? SALVAGE! And because those aliens have teleportation technology... You get to teleport yourself over to the craft. Set'em up, Knock'em down. Next is the difficult part. Making the Space Hulk. These aren't just ships... They are multiple ships, all mangled together via warp energies to create massive floating monstrosities filled with terrible, terrible things.... Tyranids being like rats. Really large and very deadly rats... Or.. Insects... you get the idea.. Obviously a team of Space Marines already came aboard this hulk... But you don't get a dead squad right as you walk in the door... No Sir! You should have to slug through at least a few rooms/corridors or into a hanger bay before you get any Space Marine goodies... This will allow a 'legit' way to collect that Power Armor we all enjoy. Outside of that pathetic Blood Raven's failed drop pod assault into DC... Pffftt... Blood Ravens.... *ahem* anyways.... So all that needs to be done is create the Hulk itself. No need for a world space in DC. Perhaps once the Hulk is cleared out you could use it to warp jump to other planets? But that's a whole other mod so forget about all that for right now... All we need for a successful Space Hulk mod is a huge maze of old rusted out bunker template goodness overflowing with Tyranids and Warp Spawn. Put these Bolters and Armor to good use! Super Mutants are a joke when I'm trotting DC in Termi Armor and a Storm Bolter. We need Xenos! The kind that eat space marines for lunch! I would totally give this a shot myself but I simply don't have the free time. I hope this motivates someone who loves 40K to make this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
