Eisenfaust Legion for the Empire [SFO Compatible]
Mod was made with SFO running so this has already been balanced for SFO for all those wondering.
So I’ve decided to upload an Empire roster I’ve been working on and off with since last year. This was made in mind to be a bit overpowered or basically an answer to the Warriors of Chaos. I’m not a fan of most of the vanilla rosters, maybe because a lot of units are missing from the tabletop and vanilla Chaos curbstomps every other vanilla race every time.
So I took inspiration from 40k, which I am also a fan of and decided to modernize the Empire and make a sigmarite legion worthy of the Emperor;
All the ranged units were made to be melee-centric, hence the limited ammo capacity
- Eisenfaust Infantrie-Musketiere
They are basically the Imperial Guard rank and file of the legion. Serving as the backbone where you can move them around without fear of melee reproach.
- Eisenfaust Stürmmusketiere
The upgraded and more elite version of the line musketeers. Designed with the idea of the repeating Nuln handgunners that everyone loves and has made a mod for.
Update 1.1 Added the ability Hail of Fire
Update 1.2 Added Vanguard Deployment and Stalk attributes - Eisenfaust Grenadiers
I changed quite a few things from the older version and I made them more of what Grenadiers are supposed to be; Elite units that dive in if the frontline needs assistance.
Update 1.1 Added the ability Stand or die, Ballistics Calibration and the passive Hold the Line
- Eisenfaust Rüstungskrieger
I really wanted a Sigmarine elite unit that could stand toe-to-toe with the Warriors of Chaos and could take up a lot of soak. So these heavy bois were born.
Update 1.1 Added the ability Fight or Die and Shield of Faith
- Eisenfaust Verlorener Haufen
Another heavy unit with the main role, as per the name sake, is to take and hold key points in the field to their last man.
Update 1.1 Added the ability Deadly Onslaught and the passive Deathblow
- Eisenfaust Ehregarde
I realized I was severely lacking in the large two-handed hammer department and these units were made. Watch them smash into enemy formations with their Deadly Onslaught, Fight or Die and Shield of Faith. Kind of redundant with the Verlorener Haufen already there, but I’ve always wanted a terminator squad that used giant two-handed force hammers.
Update 1.2
- Eisenfaust Hauswache
Basically a halberd unit that babysits your backline, particularly those artillery units enemy cavalry loves making a beeline for.
Update 1.2
- Eisenfaust Jägers
A vanguard unit I’ve always wanted to make with the main purpose of eliminating enemy artillery and/or ranged units. They do so by using explosive arrows, in which I’ve limited the ammo capacity since the Grenadiers already function as the main explosives unit.
Update 1.2
—-
EDIT: All the stats are now adjusted to better reflect the general base stats of vanilla units. They can still steamroll depending on the scenario but they weren’t as OP when it comes to attack and defense.
The hard unit caps I did away with so you can create an army composition of your heart’s desire, depending of course on the current unit costs, upkeeps and what campaign mod you put in. These weren’t extensively tested out with just with the vanilla game, because who wants to play that and was mostly used alongside other mods like SFO.
Future Plans: I wasn’t expecting this to pick up really and that inspired me to make changes. On hold; Legion Kommandant, Rocket Battery, Cavalry.
Work and family (We have an 9-month old) still take up most of my time. So I still don’t know if I can do constant updates.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy, whoever you are who decides to download ^^
Also many thanks to ChaosRobie for the amazing textures for the Blazing Sun crests, Witch Hunter pants and infantry backpack!
Used a wh variant for a new Infantrie-Musketiere from Erica Hill’s mod here; https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1870838915
