Looks uber-super-great, and I'm gonna switch again to W40k mod (and my alter ego - Ultramarine :) ), but isn't that race called "tau"?

Most of TW maps have a good scene, and this is definitely the most beautiful map ever made. Scenery and texture work are well mixed and looks new era of maps. Anna will be happy to check this map.

Btw how do you progress the map especially about co-ordinate of scenery and poly structure?

Well, i'm not shure that i'm getting the sense of your question right but i'll answer:
To co-ordinate sceneries and polygons i first of all make screenshot of the building needed in 100% scale then delete the background so i can see in the image editor how scenery will look in-game.

really nice map :)
bunkers look really nice, scenery in the tunnel is also very nice. cant see much room for improvement, other than some more cover between the bunkers.
i think this will be ttw-ified

Holy effing hell

This looks very nice, but i'll have to look into the gameplay (can't see anything special about it atm)

Reminds me a lot of Star Wars and BZII :|

I think I just shit my pants, because of its beauty! Seriously, even I'm not a TW fan, this will actually convince me to try to play TW!!
