Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Finally Has Its Thomas the Tank Engine Mod — and the Emperor Will Surely Be Pleased

You know your video game has made it when it gets a Thomas the Tank engine mod. Skyrim, Resident Evil 2, Fallout 4, Elden Ring… the list of blockbuster games blessed with the terrifying sight and sound of Thomas is legend. Now, add Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 to the list.

It’s the latest work of Tom, aka Warhammer Workshop, the modder behind Space Marine 2’s excellent Astartes Overhaul. He’s added Thomas the Tank engine to the Ballistic Engine PvE mission, which is a perfect fit given it features an Imperial train station in which the Space Marines must escort a fusion battery that comes under attack from waves of Tyranids.

Space Marine 2's Thomas the Tank Engine mod is a work-in-progress, and still needs the audio effects fans have grown to love, but it's available to download from the Space Marine 2 Modding Hub Discord now if you fancy giving it a shot.

Check out how it looks in-game in the clip below:

Tom created some very Warhammer 40,000 flavor text to go along with the release of this mod, which fans of the franchise will enjoy:

Many of you are aware of the tribulations that have beset our sacred modding efforts.

In the face of these trials, I — reckless and desperate — made certain unwise vows to the dark and unknowable Saber Gods.

For a time, I faltered, my obligations left unmet, my soul teetering on the brink of damnation.

But no longer.

Through toil and sacrifice, through the wailing of machine spirits and the lamentations of my own sanity,

I have done what must be done.

THOMAS. HAS. COME.

A daemon-engine of unspeakable horror, an abomination of iron and heresy, a thing that should not be, and yet — here it is.

The warp has opened, and it has delivered unto us something far worse than any Black Crusade.
