custom mission : marines vs. marines

[the.unseen]

this map is based on traitor terminators - chaos revoked which i read from the space hulk collection; http://spacehulk.barsoom.cc/mirrors/shc/

i recently learned about mission specific sprites and sounds so i tried a basic graphic swap and renaming of files. its not perfect, but it works :)

the enemies use the graphics and sounds from teardown's first game.

you will be facing blood angels, space wolves and ultramarines.

i must admit that i didnt know how to increase the number of hybrids so that the enemy marines would shoot you more frequently, so it might be a little dissapointing if you see them just running towards you instead of shooting you from afar.

still, i hope you guys try the map. might be fun for a few minutes. :)

Hey there, I just played your mission. Was fun killing marines for a change:)

What I really liked tho was the tileset, very very good looking. You created it? Can it be used freely to create other campaigns?

Also, about changing the amount of hybrids, it can't be done, but you can have a higher proportion of hybrids by increasing the minimum size of aliens per blip. Sounds weird, but there are set amounts of blips with each quantity, and the higher quantity blips are really scarce, while there are I think 8 hybrid blip...If you set the minimum to 4 aliens per blip, something like 70% of the blips will be hybrids...the other 30% will be a good bunch of aliens:)...unless you set the minimum to 7 and the maximum to 7, in which case there will only be hybrids.

hey thanks! glad you liked it. i like converting maps i read to alien assault missions. :)

the tiles are from the 3rd edition boardgame. all i did was resize and modify the tiles so they align to the game grid. credit goes to the original artist and authors.

all the white dwarf maps i shared have the third edition tiles, but are not compatible with teardown's infestation campaign. i am working on a compatible tileset, this is the latest so far :

it would be awesome if other people start using this tileset.


lastly, thanks for the tip about hybrids, il try changing the rate to min: 4, max: 7 and update the link in the first post.

I just played your campain.

It was very entertaining, trilling and challenging. :thumbsup:
I liked using different strategies. Hiding my soldiers around the corners was fun. ;)
I was about to get frustrated when I saw the middle room :blink: but then remembered the self destruct option 8)

Thank you for such a good mission. Keep up the good work :)
