Okay I have no skills at all in modding, but I'd be interested in getting together a mod to make a DOW II SP campaign for the adeptus Mechanicus. I can write the story line and do a lot of general creative stuff, but I'd need coders artists and the like. anyone interested?

from someone who is vaguely competent with SCII and skyrim modding tools a few words of advice

1) go into your DOW files and somewhere you should find a world builder program (i remember it had a yellowish icon?) that should be a good help and makes it REALLY easy to build maps and i think is good with mods too :)

2) start out with just making the race, making a campaign with triggers and dialoge can be a LOT harder than just making the race :)

but thats it

i would like to see this finished though! could be good fun! :D

oh and i could do texturing and some arty stuff if you need it.

thanks, unfortunately I have next to no artistic aptitude though. Now I do have Space Marine and IIRC there were some tech priest models in there I could copy past and downsize and use as a base.
