Description:

Steam Tanks. Those glorious machines belching smoke and ramming through the hordes of filthy heretics, blasting out cannonballs and scalding steam. But have you ever felt there’s something missing? That there’s something lifeless about tanks that all looked like they were built by robots to look identical? After all, in WHFB there were only twelve Steam Tanks in the entire Empire, and only eight of those are still running. Each one should be unique and have character, right? Well, you’re in luck, because that’s exactly what this mod does. The aim is to make as many Steam Tanks as possible stand out from the crowd.

Description

This mod adds the following Steam Tanks, available for the Empire:

Von Zeppel’s
No main armament, but several riders with varied weapons standing on its deck.
Kathleen (Half Tank)
A half-sized tank for use by Halflings. The soup cannon’s been detached (see OvN’s Halflings for that).
Patriarch’s Storm
Shiny gold chassis and a Helstorm Rocket Battery.
Sigmar’s Hammer
A purely melee Steam Tank. No turret, no main armament.
Invincible
Normal Steam Cannon, but no turret.
Implacable
Open-topped with a mortar upfront, and a couple riders with repeater rifles.
Deliverance
Flame Cannon and normal Steam Turret.
Alter Kamerad
Helblaster Volley Gun for it’s main armament, and a normal Steam Turret.
Emperors’s Wrath
Vanilla Emperor’s Wrath. Note that the "regular" Steam Tank is now Wissenland’s Elector Count State Troop. You can also recruit normal steam tanks in the normal way. Just gonna sneak that tidbit in here…

The unique Steam Tanks are unlocked via a new "Steam Tank Workshop" where you’ll need to spent prestige (or schematics or essays), gold, and have access to certain trade resources.

For Wulfhart and Volkmar, they are unlocked by the same system, but it’s slightly different since they can’t get Prestige. For Wulfhart, he gets access to them as he gains Acclaim, and for Volkmar, as he seals the Books of Nagash. Under this system, Acclaim and BoNs act as thresholds rather than a currency you spend.

Generals of the Empire and Boris Todbringer have been given Steam Tanks as mounts. Volkmar has been given a very special War Altar Steam Tank mount.

As a bonus, the Skaven have also been given a RoR – the Rat Tank – available at level 22. It’s about what you’d expect, warp lightning for both it’s main gun and turret. And Kislev has been given a RoR tank as well, The Tzarina’s Fury, available at level 26. Lend-leased from the Empire, it’s got skis and the Strider attribute.
