Description:

This mod adds 15 new units and 11 new followers to all lizardmen factions recruitable from vanilla military buildings. I ported this mod from WH2 but had to redo most textures. I also added some visual variations for most units and did some minor rebalancing.

Mod Features

– 15 new units (mostly red crested skinks; 3 RoR)
– 11 new followers

Units

All Red Crested Skink units have the vanilla passive ability "frenzy". Some units are capped; cap increases with their individual recruitment buildings.

  • Red Crested Skinks (Shields) – Melee Infantry (Cudgel)
    variant of vanilla Red Crested Skinks with cudgel and shields.
  • Red Crested Skink Cohort (Javelins) – Missile Infantry (Javelins)
    sligthly stronger than vanilla skink cohort (javelins).
  • Red Crested Skink Skirmishers – Missile Infantry (Blowpipes)
    sligthly stronger than vanilla skink skirmishers.
  • Red Crested Skinks (Spears) – Melee Infantry (Spears)
    variant of vanilla Red Crested Skinks with spears and "Shieldwall" (charge defense) ability.
  • Red Crested Skink Braves – Missile Infantry (Javelins)
    Red Crested Skinks equipped with spears and javelins, good against large entities.
  • Sotek Cultists – Melee Infantry (Swords)
    sligthly stronger than Red Crested Skinks, equipped with swords.
  • Chosen of Sotek – Melee Infantry (Maces)
    elite Red Crested Skinks equipped with maces; anti-infantry.
  • Skink Temple Guard of Sotek – Melee Infantry (Halberds)
    elite Red Crested Skinks with halberds; anti-large & armour piercing. I just like the idea that skinks had to defend their sacred places of Sotek until the Slann recognized the prophecy.
  • Saurus Warriors of Sotek – Melee Infantry (Maces)
    slightly stronger than vanilla saurus warriors; frenzy.
  • Skink Cold One Riders – Shock Cavalry (Spears)
    weaker than Saurus Cold One Riders but can be recruited earlier
  • Skink Horned One Riders – Melee Cavalry (Halberds)
    weaker than Saurus Horned One Riders but can still be quite strong.
  • Verminbane Cohort – Melee Infantry (RoR)
    Regiment of Renown for Sotek Cultists with an on-hit phase effect that reduces enemy morale.
  • Mauls of Sotek – Monstrous infantry (RoR)
    Regiment of Renown for vanilla Kroxigors with poison attacks, frenzy and anti-large damage.
  • Wing of Sotek – Monstrous Cavalry (RoR)
    Regiment of Renown for vanilla Terradon Riders with improved melee capabilities and "Drop Snake Pots" (poison) ability.
