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.

Hello friend, I ask you, do you intend to add more equipment such as weapons and armor? and what are the future plans?
and excellent mod they are my favorites

the thunder xenotype gene will fuck up temperature to weird values
max 355
min 1597 and so on, this is freaky

take your time, thanks for replying, awesome mod.

@Beef, i'll see what I can do :) i'm fairly busy with work at the moment but i'll try get something together soon.

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

Do you randomly die well wearing it when the battle is over?

@Bunghole yup yup!

@PapaEnclave glad you are happy with the update 🙂

i love you

@connerolsen419, Done :)

Our thunder boys need some love, and a lot of chemo.

@Goldengear1111 You're most welcome. Thank you for your kind words.

Amazing work your mods are so amazing thank you for bringing your amazing work into this outdated wh40k department:

@Hawk Thank you, I'm glad you like them :)

Love your work... awesome textures.. best ones out there... keep up the good work and add more Warhammer 40K Chapters, Ultramarines, Salamanders, Black Templars, Death Corps ... etc...

@Bunghole there is unfortunately not too much information on thunder warriors equipment. Aside from that they used an early version of the bolters, though they appeared to also use a variety of chainweapons like swords and axes. Unclear if they used power weapons however.

You might reference the look of the early variant bolters and those used by chaos marines (that haven't corrupted the bolters but just use the early forms) as potential sprite inspiration.

@Shiroe Thank you. I do plan on expanding it further it's just about having the time to do so. It's also quite hard to find info out about the Thunder Warriors. I'm open to suggestions though! What would you like to see included?

You are the first ever to make Thunder Warrior related stuff. I hope you eventually expand to do more, it is really nice to see.

The Legiones Cataegis walk again

@Mad Marl ahh I understand now sorry, unfortunately I am not that skilled of a modder yet to adjust their natural life expectancy.

I look forward to hearing how they do against VOID, good luck!

oh im fine with them not being immortal. in fact i thought that was a side effect of the thunder warriors creation that they actually die pretty early on due to the process not being perfected until the space marines. but yeah i am about to get that game started up so i will gather data on how well they do against VOID

@Mad Marl - They are not immortal. I have tested 1 warrior against 10 heavily equipped standard Rimworld pawns and they can still get injured/die. If you want them to be more OP I would also add the mod "Un-Limited" by AlexisGrimm here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1668141382
This will bypass the caps set by vanilla Rimworld so that the gene enhancements will make them quite powerful.

I haven't tested against VOID so let me know how they go :)

so will they have a rather limited lifespan like lore or nah? im cool with either tbh just curious. kinda want to see how the enhancements hold up against VOID

omg finally

@Eviscerator I've added those requirements in due to the genes which i'm currently adding in (future proofing) for next update. If you'd like to play it without biotech you'll just have to manually remove the Defs from the mod folder. Delete everything in "Defs" aside from "Equipment", "Apparel", "Research" and "SoundDefs folder" and it should work. I'll be pushing an update out shortly which will have the new Defs but its still a WIP.

Are the reqs actual hard reqs? I'm wondering why Biotech is required?

mod goes brazy

@Empress Thank you :)
