Bardin Goreksson – Outcast Engineer
This is my interpretation of Bardin Goreksson in the career of Outcast Engineer.
Bardin Goreksson is stubborn, loyal, endlessly enthusiastic, and armed with enough improvised engineering to level a city block. A veteran of the Ubersreik fighting, Bardin has survived collapsing tunnels, skaven ambushes, and more than a few of his own experimental mishaps. Now walking the path of the Outcast Engineer, he brings a temperamental crank‑gun of his own making, a pack full of volatile prototypes, and the indomitable spirit that kept the Ubersreik Five alive against impossible odds.
I hope you enjoy Bardin, he is the first of the Five, and the others will appear over the comming weeks.
⚔️ Features
– Unique Hero: Bardin Goreksson. the crank‑gun‑wielding Outcast Engineer with a blend of resilience and explosive ingenuity.
– Unique Skill Tree & Abilities: Pressure systems, overclocking, armour‑shredding auras, experimental ammunition, and hybrid melee‑ranged combat options.
– Unique Ancillaries: Custom items representing Bardin’s engineering craft — from reinforced armour plating to prototype compression chambers.
– Signature Abilities: Includes Overpressure Burst, Perilous Overclock, and other tools to make him louder and shoot more stuff! His crank gun, is big, and is very shooty…is it OP? Maybe, but you have to look after your ammunition, and I think he is fun! Happy to take feedback on that.
📜 Notes
– I have scripted this so he can be used in MP, but I have not been able to test MP. It should work, but please let me know if you find issues.
– Should work with most mods.
– For Immortal Empires campaigns.
– AI factions will not recruit Bardin — he is player‑exclusive.
– Bardin appears via a dilemma on turn 2.
– Recruitable for Empire, Bretonnia, Dwarfs, Kislev, and Grand Cathay (so he can accompany Gortek and Felix if you wish).
– Balance tuned for single‑player Immortal Empires.
– As always, feedback is most welcome, and I really appreciate everyone who has supported my mods and workshop!
Currently on the to‑do list (this is my planned order, but these things take time and stuff changes!)
• Compilation mod with Max and Snorri, that also includes expanded skill trees and ancilliaries for Felix and Gotrek (hopefully sometime next week).
• Kerillian (week or two)
• Several interacting heroes for Vampire Counts (this is a bigger project, and hard to say when)
• Boudica (Beasts Sorceress) for Dark Elves
• Compilations and updates to older mods for improved MP compatibility and skill dumps
• The rest of the Ubersreik Five
• Additional heroes for Chaos and Chaos Dwarfs
Thanks to all who have suggested characters, I have put quite a few on the to-do-list! Feel free to keep suggesting, it is probably impossible to do everything, but I’ll do what I can.
