News New Marine Player Models Warhammer 40k fan and Source artist Joazzz has contributed to Exterminatus a set of new space marine player models and skins. Joazzz seems to have really responded to the previous news item about how excited everyone was about him making new marines and finally managed to deliver on his promise.



This update to Exterminatus is thanks to Joazzz, without whom it would not have happened. If you see him in-game or on the Discord don't forget to thank him.

Known Issues

The dreadnaught player model and skins don't match the new marine models.

Terminator armour "clips" through the terminator's weapons as the new model is much bulkier.

Marine model animations skill look janky as they have been recycled from the previous marine models.

The first person view models (hands) don't match the new player models.

The existing chapter packs don't work with the new marine models.

Future Plans

Joazzz is working on an overhaul for the dreadnaught and has offered to re-skin the scout to match the new marine models he's contributed. Joazzz has also expressed an interest is making new chaos marine variants.



A set of templates and instructions for re-skinning the new marine models is ChromeAngel's next piece of work, to enable anyone to make their own chapter skins for these shiny new marine models.



by ChromeAngel - Today at 12:27:38 PM - Discuss Important Exterminatus News Sorry, it a bit overdue, but we've got another stable release of Extermainatus for all you 40k fans. This version features an announcer system with custom events for each of the three teams, updated voice lines and maps.



It's starting to look very much like this might also be the last version of Exterminatus. Please keep EX on your RSS feed / mod watch though, just in case. Read the Developer News section below to find out why.

There is no patch to upgrade from 9.21, this version requires a fresh install of EX, replacing the previous stable build.

The option to create Desktop shortcut has been added to the installer, this will launch the EX with Steam Overlay support (which does not work if you start a mod from the Steam library). This shortcut depends on the Source Multiplayer SDK being installed in the default Steam Library location, so may not work on all systems.



Developer News

Mod leader ChromeAngel has decided, after twelve years of continual development, not to do any new development on EX. As the only coder, animator, news writer, release manager he's decided to limit himself to just what needs to be done to implement others work to EX (which has all but stopped since July 2018). This release represents ChromeAngel's efforts to make good on that goal and integrate as many of the backlog of contributions into the mod as possible.





A detailed change log of all the new features, tweaks, bug fixes and balance changes since the last major release can be found on the Moddb article What's new in 9.22





The EX contributors were disappointed to learn that Kharos found the workload of creating new animations for the new space marine models (announced with the last major release) was too much for him. Shortly after Joazzz revealed that he'd also changed his mind about contributing those same space marine models to EX, further crushing the community spirit. Sadly it looks like we won't be seeing those hot new models in EX after all.



Future Plans

Without new contributions of content, this could well be the last release of Exterminatus. Games will continue to be scheduled and organised through the EX Steam Community Group for anyone that wants to play. Twelve years is a good run for a mod, we've learnt a lot, played thousands of rounds and purged tens of thousands of xenos and heretics.

Re-oriented the dropzones on the bridge in csm_trench and added some small aesthetic details.

Added more details to distinguish the sides of the marketplace in ex_echange and moved the marketplace objectives closer to their dropzones.

Future Plans
