I remember back in the days.....aaah. planetcnc.com/onlywar.
I found this site through......Torn actually I think. Back on gamingforums.com I spotted the thread about onlywar and Torn dragged my butt to planetcnc.com/onlywar and it all started :cool:

I remember ages ago I thought "Hey, wouldn't it be good if there was a mod for Generals that brought the Warhammer 40k world to life?". So I started making my own mod.

Then one day at Deezire's forum I someone from Only War posted a question about this mod so I followed the links and realised my mod would suck in comparison and the rest, as they say, is history...

I think mine was similar to sp4rks

I heard about Imperial Assault, and thought. Good gosh wouldn't it be great if there was a good 40k RTS (this is before the days of DoW).

did a search and found the old planetcnc site. Saw the screens with the Russ and was hooked. This is the only mod I've ever worked on and started off by doing sig images for the boards... Not knowing how to do anything else.

And now wahoo!! I feel like a veteran modder!

I once saw pics of Space Marines and they looked so darn evil that i started looking for more, soon i came out on Warhammer40K, so i looked for mods

I ended up on Rival Species for halflife and joined the team as Sound Artist, as i could do sounds :cool:
Then i searched on and stumbled upon the planetcnc/onlywar site and was immediatly hooked by the awesome screenshots, i checked and noticed they lacked a soundartist in the team, so that is how i rolled in..

I've kinda stepped back from Rival Species but Onlywar is a mod i'll stick to :huh:

Ah, twas a dark and stormy night, i had just bought generals and was browsing moddb, looking for a good mod that i would actually stick to (i have a tendancy to play a mod a few times and then get bored with it and don't worry, this won't happen with yours....) and i stumbled across a humble little mod by the name of onlywar. at the time, i was 14 and really in to warhammer at the expense of my parents ^_^ and so i thought this mod might be worth a peek. i saw the original site, saw the fact that the tau were in it and fell in love. so i joined the forums, gave a random suggestion or idea here or there and started a thread that actually got some discussion (i think it was about how you would install the mo or summat, btw, u decided on that yet) go me!

now im 16 and waiting patiently with the rest of the onlywar community for the demo, while randomly drawing people in chibi form and obsessively listenin to iron maiden.

so basically, i found it through moddb by accident.
