This is the Tactical Dreadnought Armoury test build mod.
This mod will generally receive more updates, but could potentially be game breaking. It will be avoided where possible but in some cases is required for further testing.

For a more stable, less frequently updated mod please download the main mod:
"Tactical Dreadnought Armoury" - This will be published shortly. For more info, please join our Discord: https://discord.gg/Tj3pRbTWwm


After months of work, endless nights, long streaks of 12-hour days modding and the hell that is Arma... They are here.


At release, you'll have access to at least:




Assault Cannon → The Assault Cannon is a ballistic six-barreled, self-loading rotary auto cannon, effective against infantry targets and light vehicles at close to medium range.
Ryza Pattern Plasma Blaster → A type of archaic, dual chamber Plasma Weapon dating back to the Great Crusade era of the 30th and early 31st Millennia.
Storm Bolter → The Storm Bolter is a double-barrelled version of the standard .75 calibre bolter. Storm Bolters are the standard weapons employed by Space Marine Terminators.



Black, Blue, Green, Ivory, Red, White & Yellow

Cyclone Missile Launcher → The Cyclone Missile Launcher is a Missile Launcher variant specially designed to be fitted on Terminator Armour. Loaded with a multitude of missiles, the Cyclone consists of two cube-shaped missile boxes, twin-linked, with a targetter and sensor array. The missile and sensor unit is fixed on the back of standard terminator armour, allowing the Space Marine to use a Storm Bolter and Power Fist with the Cyclone.

This launcher has SACLOS guidance → SemiAutomatic Command to Line Of Sight. In other words, it functions like a BGM-71 TOW, NLAW. You can't lock, but you can guide the missile to its target manually (mouse).

With the following ammo types:



Frag → Cluster High Explosive, disperses 12 bomblets that explode shortly before impact.
Krak → Standard anti-tank krak missile.
Super Krak → More penetration and damage compared to standard krak missile.
Plasma → Combines both anti tank and anti personnel capabilities, jack of all trades, master of none.
Vengeance → Standard High Explosive.








Why, yes!. There are two methods to initiate teleportation and two types of teleportation.
You can either Ace Self Interact → Teleport Options and pick one of the options or use the Controls → Configure Addons - Key binds for ease of use.



For the simple teleport, the terminator (you), will kneel, a progress bar will appear. Upon completion, you will have access to the map screen, where you can click anywhere to be teleported.

For the group teleport, it gets fancier… This teleport is only available to the squad leader.
They can initiate a group teleport only for members of their squad that are:
Terminators;
Within a 5-meter radius (elevation isn't taken into account);
Every player/unit that passes that check will kneel and teleport alongside their squad leader.
AI can't initiate teleport by themselves, but they will be dragged alongside.




Glad you asked. We have built-in teleport randomization in the module for each axis. Unfortunately, you can't go below ground, but you can teleport inside vehicles and structures or fly!.
The cooldown of the teleport (time until next teleport is available) can also be changed.
Module can be placed both on EDEN and while on ZEUS. The newest placed module overrides previous settings.


Input is treated as meters for X/Y/Z Variance and seconds for Teleport Cooldown. No need to sync module to units. Place it once, change settings and enjoy.


For the end-user, they work just like any other Space Marine.
Behind the scenes, we've had to adapt due to current engine constraints – characters taller than 2 meters do not have collision above that height, only below. This is why it became de facto common knowledge that you can't hit a Space Marine on their Head if they are standing upright, since when at such stance, they are taller than the 2-meter tall hitbox - which led players to adapt and teach others that you should hit their shoulder pads instead.

We've solved that by a hybrid approach, inspired by Webknight's Dreadnoughts. Each Terminator has three hitboxes, which only function to receive damage and collision for the areas affected by the previously mentioned limitation. One for each shoulder and upper arm, one for the upper torso and head. For each shot received, its penetration value is used to determine damage via ACE to each limb. So, The Terminators are compatible with ACE Medical.


Performance – Most likely not. We have done extensive testing on our end within our unit (The Black Templars), alongside a multitude of other units. If you have any trouble, reach out to us on our discord https://discord.gg/5x5hmh58Yz

• TFAR – Due to the hitboxes, communication can become muffled. They function exactly like the dreadnought hitbox, where it can block sound due to occlusion of the source and receiver. This only happens when, for example, there are two players trying to communicate with each other, but there is a Terminator exactly in between them.

This list is huge and by no means complete, we've been at work for so long, that it is difficult to narrow down everyone that helped us along the way, in no particular order, we thank:
