Black Powder Blessed (WH3)
The Warhammer 3 installment of Black Powder Blessed. This was made with collaboration with Jensehc & Nightsaber for providing the new artillery models. My thanks to snek for his bayonet animations. This mod is supposed to be a Guns of the Empire lite. The units are inspired from the Napoleonic Era.
This mod adds the following new units:
1.) Line Infantry
Armed with musket and bayonets, they have lower range and less accurate shooting compared to Handgunners. They are however, much more potent in melee. Charge defense vs large.
2.) Jaegers
Light infantry armed with rifles. They have longer range and more accuracy compared to Handgunners while also having vanguard deployment and stalk. They have less firepower due to a smaller unit size and longer reload.
3.) Marines
Empire marines are a step up from the Free Company Militia. They are aggressive infantry units that ignore terrain penalties and are good at dealing with opposing infantry in melee.
4.) Hussars
Light cavalry upgrade to pistoliers. Excellent at harassing the enemy, charging targets of opportunity and running down enemy infantry.
5.) Cuirassiers
Heavy cavalry meant to breakthrough the enemy line. Compared to the traditional heavy cavalry, they trade shock value on the charge with better melee stats and pistols.
6.) Ordnance Rifle
An upgrade to the great cannon, these rifled guns fire with more accuracy and range.
7.) Licornes
These are gun-howitzers using indirect fire to shell the enemy with high explosive incendiaries.
There are also a few balancing tweaks to the Empire artillery (mainly helblasters, helstorms, mortar wagon) so they still have a place in your armies instead of just using the new artillery pieces.
Let me know if there are any issues with regards to the campaign or balance. Feel free to add suggestions. I plan to add more in the future. You may make submods as you wish. I will be working on a SFO release but go ahead if you want.
