W40K: Thunder Warriors

Description
◹🗲◸ 2.1 Faction update is out!◹🗲◸

This mod adds Thunder Warrior equipment from the Warhammer 40K Universe. It also adds in the Thunder Warriors as a faction in the world. They are extremely difficult to fight so I recommend keeping them neutral or allied until you are ready to go.

To convert pawns into the Thunder Warrior Xenotype you will need to research Thunder Warrior Genes and then craft "thunder warrior complete xenotype mod" at the fabrication bench. (BIOTECH DLC ONLY) if you do not have the Biotech DLC then don't make this item, utilise all of the other craft-able body mods to make your thunder warrior equivalent"








This is my second mod in the W40K universe, see W40K: Blood Angels Here:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885836320

I made this mod as a little side project as I couldn't find any mods that add the Thunder Warriors from the Unification Wars (The OG Space Marines before they were Astartes).

To unlock the items you will need to research "Thunder Warrior Weapons/Armour/"

2.1 Changes

05/08/2025 - Added Thunder Warrior faction with raids


- New Textures! I have improved my artwork
- Visual layering fixes
- Jaw implant now changes body type to Hulk and head type to Narrow Wide (These textures have also been replaced)
- Brain implant now gives a new trait Thunder Warrior, which causes more of a chance of violent behaviour as well as
making the warrior not care about dead bodies, death or banishing

Adds:
- Thunder Warrior power armour and helmet
- Prototype bolter
- Thunder Warrior sword
- Body part gene enhancements these are crafted at the fabricator with human meat and advanced components
(These body mods are still available for those who dont have biotech DLC see my comments below for which defs to remove)
- Thunder Warrior Xenotype (Beta) - For those who have Biotech DLC, these can also show up as raiders.

Known Bugs:
- Armour only works on Hulk body type, ensure you install the Jaw implant to transform your Thunder Warrior first.

Thanks everyone for your patience, I have finally added the Thunder Warriors as a faction. Good luck being raided by them!

Sorry for the slow reply I have been away. No further weapons or armour will be added as I believe the Thunder Warriors only had what I've already implemented according to the lore. In saying that I will be looking to add the Thunder Warriors as a faction in the world.

would love a faction of these guys would be awesome to fight with space marines by grimworld

@Riffy, yeah I figured the bolter I originally had wasn't basic enough to be an early prototype. I had to take some creative liberties with the power pack too as there isn't a lot of reference material around to go off that gets the right angles.

Beta marines for life ... or the next ten minutes. Also love that you kept the retro look of one of the bolters.

@Riffy lol, you should
