Description
Expanded Roster - Dark Elves - 8th Edition and more



Hi guys, here i am also on TWW2. With this mod i wish to expand the DE roster, with some addition i think it would be cool to have in the game. All this were taken from the 8th Edition Army Book, the wiki for some references and the Monstrous Arcanum, the Man O' War Main Rulebook and the Sea of Monster book. Of course i have taken some licences due to the modding possibilities and to spice things up.
I'm sorry for the low quality screenshot, bad pc :P

Features
  • 10 new units for Naggarond, the Cult of Pleasure, Har Ganeth and the two Rogue armies that uses DE units.
  • Custom unit cards
  • Custom abilities


Unit List here, run out of space.


Balancing

Most of the units share the stats with the vanilla counterparts, that's to prevent balancing issues and because i have literally zero time to test the units as i wanted. So feedback and suggestions are highly welcome to improve the units.

Radious compatibility mod

Issues and Compatibility
  • Compatible with everything and save game compatible, if a mod edits the vanilla buildings of the DE, units may not appear.
  • Manticores don't fly and clip a bit, they are also smaller to fit the chariots.
  • Cold Ones and Warhounds are slower than the vanilla counterpart, otherwise the beastmasters will run too fast and it will seems odd. I had some problem in assigning a mount to the Beasmasters, so this is the only way around i find.
  • Beastmasters and Sisters of Slaughter don't use their whips properly.
  • Sea Dragon has no breath. Unfortunately when putting him on the ground, the breath animation won't work anymore. I decided to make him more unique using abilities.
  • You may see some black textures from the distance, this is a problem with the imposter models after making some textures invisible.
  • The Sea Dragon walking animation is not too good with the increased size, that's also why i haven't make him bigger.
  • Probably some other issues due to the hurry, i have little time to mod and i have also other projects ongoing, i have done all of this in a very limited amount of time, but improvement is of course ongoing.

Q&A:
Q:Why Manticores?
A:Beastmasters are said (and pictured) to be able to tame also manticores. Unfortunately i cannot make a unit like the Beastmasters with Cold Ones, because the Manticores will not fly, nor i can assign a flying mounts to the Beastmasters. And no, it doesn't exist an animation for elves on manticores :P


Q:Why the Doomfire Warlock have helmets?
A: Another problem with mixing WE body parts is that they hardly match other models' parts..i have to go that way, no head that i tried match correctly or fit well..


Credits and Future Plans
Want more mods? you should check my Workshop :)
Other sweet plans HERE[www.twcenter.net]

This mod was inspired by Deco's amazing Orcs & Goblins - 8th Edition Roster
Thanks as always to my lore wishperer, Khazmo :P

I will have some RL stuff that may keep me away from modding a bit, but i want to work on an overhaul of the Vampires Bloodlines (Nechrarchs and Strygos), expanding their roster and making them more unique.

No standalone version, sorry. It's only 4 units left, if you want to use them you have to use the compilation:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2713654732

Units for Dark Elves:
- Hunters of Anath Raema
- Tower Masters
- Lords of Oblivion
- Magma Dragon

Amazing new mod compilation, but will this mod now receive an updated based on your work from the compilation? :critical:
