Uniforms and Heraldry of the Greenskins

Hi followers and fans!!
Da big Gigiauz is bak again with some interesting lore-stuff .. Waaagh!!

As all my Uniforms and Heraldry mods, this one is a wonderful lore-friendly cosmetic mod for Greenskins.
This mod was born from my disappointment about 3 important aspects:

1) Vanilla uniforms ugly appearence (in particular how the uniforms faction colors are managed).
2) Lack of more shields variants (orchish or "grobish").
3) The bad textures/models porting-process from WH1 to WH2 (downscaled textures and wrong wsmodels shaders).

With these 3 things in mind I started this big retextures project.
I restored the ruined textures and re-worked all shields and a lot of uniforms to give a better lore-friendly look to each tribes and each units.

The results are:
– New Orcs and Goblins uniforms (finally they meet the lore standards)
– A lot of new shields texture (for each units) and a lot of variants for each tribes
– Restored textures ruined in the "porting process" from WH1 to WH 2.
– Added Merwanor’s "Texture Transparency Fixes" for Skarsnik (big thanks to Merwanor)
– Integrated a compatible version of Merwanor’s "Quivers for Greenskins" mod (big thanks to Merwanor)

Well, this short description is not enough to describe the big big work I’ve done, so I suggest to try this mod. I’m sure you will be pleased.

A lot of you know me, and you know that when I plan lore-stuffs I do lore-stuffs …
I was a Warhammer Fantasy Battle miniatures collector and painter since I was a child. I collected a lot of miniatures of different races (Empire, Dwarves, Orcs and Goblins and High Elves). I ‘m an accurate observer and interpreter of Warhammer Fantasy World lore and sometimes I would like to consider myself as a sort of Lore-Keeper… ;).

The main guidelines I used to make heraldry and shields emblems are taken from all recent warhammer fantasy official documentations.
Every textures was wisely edited keeping always in mind these documentations and, if missing, keeping always in mind lore standards.

What does this mod do?
Well, this mod add a lot of interesting features:
– Orcs: new uniforms and shields (a lot of shields… too much shields 😉 )
– Black Orcs: new reworked textures, better faction colours on Black Orcs base textures
– Goblins: new uniforms and shields (a lot of shields … more than orcs I think xD)
– Night Goblins: new uniforms and shields (wonderful shields sets!)
– New spectacular and loreful shields sets for all shielded chavalry units (Orcs Boar Boyz, Forest Goblins Spider Riders, Goblins Wolf Riders)
– Reworked the Night Goblin Warboss textures (no more ugly britght textures)
– Reworked faction colours application on a lot of textures.
– Reworked almost all factions colours

Note: The units models don’t use differents units models parts (I don’t like the practice of merging differents units models parts together).

I suggest people to use Reshade [reshade.me]. With this new FX Injector you can directly create your custom profile.

This mod is a part of a big lore-friendly retextures project. Other uniforms and heraldry will be realized for other faction too and probably those graphical mod will be used for a possible new regional recruitment system… soo do not forget it! 😉

I do not have a Patreon page and I could never afford it since I already have a full time job and also because my works come from my passion for warhammer and not from lucrative prospects.
