7:
There is also a passive modifier bonus mechanic that my previous mod had, but I never quite explained . It was only there for marines and eldar, but I'm extending it for all factions in this edition.
Transhuman Shock: Astartes got increased melee and ranged damage resistance.
Grace : Eldar have ranged damage resistance.
Tuffness: This comes across as a good melee resistance, but reduced accuracy as orks are not known for their marksmanship.
Evilution: Tyranids dont have any such overall modifier. Their units got their unique traits.
Puny Earthlings: Humans have a small ranged damage resistance. However their aim is just mortal, which means they get an accuracy reduction. Not as bad as the ork one.
War born : Kriegers can not be suppressed.
8:
Tyranids are modded in.
Tier 1 : Hormagants, Termagants, Warriors, Raveners and Tyrant Guard.
Tier 2 : Carnifex, Lictor, Hive Guard, Biowore, Zoanthrope and Genestealers.
Tier 3 : Warrior Alpha, Carnifex Alpha and Swarmlord.
New weapons :
-Barbed Strangler for Hive Tyrant at tier 2.
-Warriors, Alpha or normal, get 2 new Weapons.
Tier 1 :
Deathspitter - high damage anti infantry gun, area of effect, medium range.
Devourer - medium damage anti infantry gun, heavy suppression, medium range.
Tier 2 : venom cannon, Barbed strangler, Adrenal glands melee upgrade.
Barbed Strangler - Now all ten squad members get one.
9:
-Manticore is now Tier 3 and Leman Russ tier 2.
-Krieg IG will not have scout sentinels, as it is open topped.
-Fc voice is now Angelos, not Diomedes. Dio may return as some other hero's voice.
-Predators are now tier 2, Dreadnoughts tier 3.
-Baneblade has a limit of 2. It fires its weapons as standard, but its abilities now fire an enhanced version. Demolisher clicky has a long fire range instead of the normal medium, while clicky baneblade cannon has a bigger area of effect.
-IG energy-armor tank mechanism appears broken. Could not fix it, so now IG armor simply increases HP permanently like any other armor upgrades the marines and orks have.
-Space marine and Chaos missile launchers can switch between frag and krak rockets like Sentinels can. Frags are good against light infantry hordes, Kraks against tanks and such.
10:
-GK's Librarian is now a hero.
Chaos:
- Plague Lord lightning claws had been replaced with reaper autocannon to make him more different from the Khorne Lord.

Alpha 1 Release :
-Unzip into Retribution main folder, click on Astartes.bat to launch the game with the mod.
-Otherwise , you'll be able to play normal Retribution by launching it normally.
-This is a dev mod alpha release, so it is not yet MP capable nor archived into SGAs, and there may be balance things I forgot yet.

-Black Templars are not in, Space marine 2nd commander is not modded yet.

The new sword is similar to the Warlock's Ethereal blade, and swaps the bolt pistol the sorcerer has to a melta pistol.
The Flame sword now replaces bolt pistol with plasma pistol.
The new armor allows the Sorcerer to unleash a series of sonic blasts, which are like 6 weaker blastmaster shots.
Chaos Raptors can now upgrade to have 4 chainaxes. This upgrade is incompatible with the 2 power fists one.
Chaos marines can now upgrade to chainswords. This upgrade does not work with Missile launcher, autocannon, lascannon and heavy bolter upgrades. They can still take Aspiring champion and a special weapon.
Tactical marines can now be changed to Crusader squads. This replaces the squad, and must be upgraded before any other upgrades are purchased.
Crusaders are 8 man squads with chainsword and bolt pistol. They can get sergeant and a Veteran with power sword. They can upgrade to 2 Power fists or 2 pair of lightning claws, or 4 power axes.
Assault marines can now upgrade to have 2 pairs of lighting claws, but this upgrade is incompatible with the 2 power fists one.
