📋 About This Mod

Edit: v2. 0 is RELEASED! Please upgrade to the newest version as the older 1.x versions result in horrifying glitches like these ones.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Holy Terra, throne world of the Imperium of man, has been under siege for over 200 years. The forces of Chaos, various gangs and roving bands of Techno-Barbarians, Orks, Necrons, Tyranids, and all other manner of faithless heretics and xeno scum all scour and defile its sacred ground. Will you charge into battle to reclaim Holy Terra in the name of the Emperor? Or will you plunge the Imperium of Man into a new era of darkness?

Named NPC's remain untouched to minimize conflicts with mods that affect things like companions. Some NPCs such as Radstags and Wild Mongrels remain unchanged due to not having an obvious 40K counterpart.

This mod only affects vanilla NPCs and objects with the exception of the Bloodshell Mirelurk added with Far Harbor. There is a file available for people who do not have the Far Harbor DLC. New NPCs introduced in other DLCs are untouched.

Here's some lists to give an idea of what's been changed in the mod. Feedback is appreciated! For a complete view of what's been changed use FO4Edit to poke around the .esp. There is an FAQ down below explaining some of my choices.

NPCS (not an exhaustive list) Super Mutants are now Orks. Mirelurks and various insects are now Tyranids. Minutemen are now Guardsmen. The Institute and Synths are now Necrons. The Brotherhood of Steel are now Space Marines. The Railroad is now a cult of Tzeentch. (I know that might sound crazy but I explain my reasoning in the FAQ below) Vertibirds are now Valkyries. (The pre-war segment Vertibird should remain untocuhed. The Gunners are now Traitor Guardsmen Raiders are now a motley crew of Heretics and Techno-Barbarians The Alien is now an Eldar

WEAPONS (not an exhaustive list) Super Sledge is now a Thunder Hammer Chinese Officer's Sword is now an Officer's Power Sword Shiskebab is also a Power Sword Laser Rifle/Pistol changed to Las Rifle/Pistol Gauss Rifle is now a Hotshot Lasgun Combat Rifle is now a Bolter . 44 Pistol is now a Bolt Pistol Minigun is now a Heavy Bolter Hunting Rifle is now a Stalker Bolter Missile Launcher is now a Rokkit Launcha, Missiles renamed to Rokkits Fat Man is now a Supa-Rokkit Launcha, Mini Nukes renamed to Supa-Rokkits Pipe Revolver is now a Stub Revolver Pipe Bolt-Action is now a Slug-Thrower Pipe Pistol/Rifle is now a Grot Blasta Pistol/Rifle
