OldHammer: Proppa Elf-Biter, Grom's Axe - Game 3 Edition

Description
Some bit of Warhammer Trivia:

This is a lore-accurate version of Elf-Biter, Grom's axe. Which doesn't mean that CA's version isn't lore accurate, non non non.
They both are lore-accurate.
Elf-Biter looks different depending on the source. CA elected to base their model on the miniature, I decided to make one based on the artworks. The miniature is the more realistic choice, and, would I be a pro, in CA's shoes, I would have picked that one too. There's an artistic direction to be respected, and the axe on the miniature just fits that bill better.
On the other hand, I'm not bound by the art direction, I'm a modder, I can do whatever I want, I don't have to please customers and so on. And I happen to be fond of the humongous, outrageously big drawn version of the axe. So there you go. Lecture over!

It must have been the map who changed the color lol, my bad... I just saw one thing with the axe, it's so big that when Grom raises her, it clip through the night goblin lol.

It doesn't change Grom's colors, but the vmd does reference his vanilla wsmodel, so a mod changing Grom's skin might not have an impact on him if the axe is subbed. I don't think it should really, but that kind of stuff is not my forte, so voila.

I use the mod "Greener Greenskins 2.0 4K Orc & Goblin Reskin" with this mod and i was wondering if it could alter the color of grom skin, because in my game he seem less green now but with still red eyes, it's weird. Thanks.

There you go, both night goblin and blood should work now.

Just checked it, he is present without this mod activated.

I'll look into the blood thing. Is Niblet (the gobbo) present if the mod is not active?

Thank you very much for your work, now he really looks menacing with his proper Elf-Biter!

Two minor bugs which I have noticed in custom battles:
- the new axe doesn't get blood particles on it during the fight, remains pristine clear which is a bit of an immersion killer while Grom and his chariot is covered blood;
- the little "standard bearer" gobbo (I don't remember his name) is somehow gone, not visible on the chariot.
