Battlefleet Gothic - The Gothic Wars
The year is 139.M41. A telepathic plea has been heard from Arx Station, all of the stations inhabitants have been slain in particularly gruesome ways. Over the next few months this proved to be only the start in a series of incidents across the sector. It was only when a number of vessels, including an Emperor Class Battleship, were found with all hands lost and filled with decay did the Imperium begin to take notice.
By then it was too late and a large contingent of Death Guard, including the vessel Plagueclaw, took the planet Morganghast. Imperial Fleets were put on high alert, but they were still unprepared for the increase in Warp activity across the sector. Fleets were cut off, communications lost. Doomsday cults erupted all over the sector, lynch mobs roamed many Hive Worlds and secret cults infiltrated many planets.
It was only when the Chaos forces began to take two artifacts did the Imperium begin to seriously worry. On the planets of Purgatory and Ornsworld, two ancient artifacts were taken for an unknown purpose.
It was then than the entire of the Gothic Sector was cut off. And all around, the warfleets of Abbadon the Despoiler emerged from the Warp, for the 12th Black Crusade. Humanity's greatest threat had come to the Gothic Sector and it was to face it alone.
Races of the Gothic Wars:
The Imperial Navy: The war-fleets of the Imperium of Man. The largest naval force in the known universe, outfitted with ships centuries old and highly trained crews, ready to face any threat.
Chaos Warfleets: The vessels and warbands of Abbadon the Despoiler. The Chaos fleets that invaded the Gothic Sector were not just Legions but traitor vessels from previous conflicts, recent turncoats, all sorts of traitors and vagabonds accompanied Abbadon on his great invasion. Legend says that some Daemon Primarchs followed suit.
Disclaimer:
The current release is a BETA RELEASE; we were sick of delaying the mod's public release so we have given you what we currently have. Regular patches are to be expected!

Firstly, I must apologise profusely for this mod having 'died' over the last few months. My own personal life caught up with me and I have spent half the year trying to desperately recover a degree out of it, so my focus has very much been on finishing university, with this mod sadly put to the backburner.
However - within the month I finish university completely, and with that, I will have the free time and energy to dedicate myself to this mod and to finally releasing a full version before the actual game comes out!
However, in order to do so - I need to sound the horn of recruitment:
BFG desperately needs:
- A Coder
- a Texture Artist (3d and 2d)
- a Map Designer
- An Environmental artist.
Orginally, I myself did all of the above, but I realise I have been pushing far too much above my weight. With the absence of Gorb now, I must simply expand the team in order to move forward and release! So if you'd like to join the team, simply email me at haratac @ live.co.uk (remove the spaces!)
Thanks, and there will be an update soon.

Does anyone still have a copy of Battlefleet Gothic - 0.8 RELEASE all links are down. I want to continue its development to create a campaign for Unification and Ultimate Apoc. Please could someone provide a link.
I feel ya i can't play the armada one this is all i have lol.
This smells dead
I really hope it isn't though.
question.....is this a total conversion does it change all units to ships, and maps are in space or sky battles?
why do we need still this when we have BATTLEFLEET GOTHIC :ARMADA????
Why do you still need Dawn of War 1 when there's Dawn of War 2?
Because they're completely ******* different, and as such, offer their own unique experience that the other cannot?
That's not an answer: This is looking to be the same as Battlefleet Gothic: Armada. Dawn of War(s) one and two are completely different, but have the same general concept. As such, making a Battlefleet mod in Dawn of War is like making a Fallout 3 mod for Fallout 4.

Is this mod dead?
When i try to load it, it just says "Failed to load Game!". I think I installed it correctly. I extracted both .rar files to my Soulstorm directory. Could it just be a problem with Steam, or I didn't install it right.
What does your warnings.log in your DoW directory say?
