Chaos Thug Mod – Version 6
Welcome to the Chaos Thug Mod – Version 6!
In this version I have added a new unit: Chaos Thugs (Swords). These troops are designed to further expand on the ability of Chaos players to recruit huge armies made up of low-cost troops to swamp their opponents but providing some additional close-combat melee options. I am also currently working on converting this and my other releases into one large compilation mod for Total War: Warhammer III.
Chaos thugs originate from the Ravening Hordes Army Book 2nd Edition and Warhammer Armies 4th Edition. They are made up of ordinary people from the Old Word, such as farmers and townsmen, who have decided to fight for the Chaos gods. They have purchased their own weapons and armor, but have not received military training, and so are much weaker than other tier 1 or 2 soldiers. The intention of these units is to diversify the forces available to a Chaos player. Chaos thugs (spears) can act either as support for more powerful warriors, or compose whole armies of expendable troops in the early part of the game. Chaos Thugs (Greatswords) provides some anti-infantry ability, although given their lower stats and morale they should be used to flank in the late-game. Finally, Chaos thugs (crossbows) allow Chaos to fight at a distance, but given that they are equipped with weapons more suitable for hunting than warfare, their range is much lower compared to soldiers like Empire crossbowmen. The units can be recruited by all the various Chaos factions, are affected by the same technology as Chaos warriors, have new unit cards, and are not available as a garrison because the existing garrisons have been balanced alongside one another, and I do not wish to disrupt that. Their statistics are also developed for the vanilla game. The units are as follows:
