Finding Models and Assets

All factions can be found in the editor in the brower as normal under Bluefor, Opfor and Independant. Be sure to check as some are fimited i.e Space Marines are Bluefor, Chaos Marines are Opfor.

All Building and scenery assets available in the editor are listed under TIOW Objects We may at some point split these out further in which case we will keep the TIOW prefix to ensure they are still easy to find. We have some legacy assets from the original release that are scattered throughout the rest of the menu and we will bring those we will continue to support under the main TIOW Objects menu in due course and the others will be deleted.

Finding TIOW 40k Maps

All the maps created by the TIOW team are included in the mod and can be found in the Eden editor.

Current Maps Include:

Orbitea Clivo Cadminae
Concretum Civitas

Space Marines

Space Marine Related Issues

Due to their size Space Marines in Arma 3 use a custom skeleton. This has few implications in-game and while some of these issues will be fixed in due course, some will not as there is no need.

Using Space Marine Equipment

All Space Marine Equipment is sized for Space Marines and it is not possible to equip on regular characters

Space Marines Using Non-SM gear

in a similar manner to the issues listed above, because of their size Space Marines can equip some of the normal equipment but there will be animation and other visual issues. We recommend only using the Space Marine Specific equipment. Coming in the next patch will be:
-SM Heavy Bolter
-SM Plasma Gun
-SM Multi-Melta

Space Marines going prone

Space Marines currently have no prone animation but on occasion explosion or falling may put the SM in a prone position. @sabreone has posted a fix for this.
