Description:

This mod adds in Gyrotransports for the Dwarfs.

Description

Gyrotransports can pick-up and drop-off any unit in your army. Fly over the unit you want to pick-up, and activate the Load Unit ability. Then you activate the "Drop Unit" ability which will drop the unit off. Note that the ability is designed such that it won’t pick-up monstrous infantry (aka Ogres), artillery, or warmachines. As for the Gyrotransport itself, its ranged attack is somewhat weak, but has a "Covering Fire" debuff, that lowers enemy melee attack and ranged accuracy.

I should mention that there’s no way in hell that the AI will use the load/drop unit ability.

I’ve also included a new skill for the Dwarf’s Engineer, which enables an army ability that summons gyrotroopers anywhere on the battlefield. They even paradrop in with some Da Vinci-inspired parachutes!

Credit and Attribution

Very minor modelling, texturing, and animation work done by ChaosRobie. The pick-up/drop-off ability was pioneered and created by prop_joe. Thanks!

Special thanks to Urgat for giving me the "gyro-chinook" idea.

Gyrocopters are Games Workshop IPs and are described in Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs 8th Edition.
