Description:

Notice: If you have any doubts please consult the Known Issues and QA sections before commenting, thanks.

This mod adds the following exclusive units for Wurrzag’s faction, respectively:
-Skull Crushers
-Skull Crusher Berserkers
-Ancient Skull Crusher Berserkers
-Ancient Skull Crusher Bone Seekers

They are available through the Greenskins main monsters building chain.
N.B. While these units are available for all of the major Greenskin factions in custom battles they are going to be exclusive for the Bloody Handz faction in campaign.

Ok, presentation over: let’s dive into the technical stuff!

*BALANCE*

As always: I tried my best to not make them too broken.
Keep in mind that I have tested them in custom battles only though.
That means that I’m not taking into account Lord’s Campaign Bonuses.
If you have suggestions for possible buffs or nerfs let me know down in the comment section!
I’m open to changes!
NOTICE: The unit’s stat screenshot was taken with the unit size setting set to large, so expect more HP and unit’s models if you are playing on Ultra.

*COMPATIBILITY*

As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
I’m playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these Skull Crushers in your campaign you’ll have to start a new one.

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-With all that stuff on their bodies some clipping Is pretty much inevitable, can’t do anything about that.
-I tried my best to place the skull mask in a satisfactory way but in the end (after multiple attempts) that’s pretty much the best that I managed to achieve, sorry If It does look a little bit off.
-The bone shoulder pads on Ancient Skull Crusher Berserkers can move/clip a little bit due to the fact that trolls don’t have a shoulder pad animation set included in their skeleton, alas I was forced to remap the pads’ animation to the closest thing which are their arms, so no bug there…just a skeleton limit.
-Due to the increased dimensions of some of these units the "grab animation attack" can actually glitch out and turn the grabbed enemy model invisible, nothing I can do about It sadly.

*UPDATES POLICY*

Let me be straight with you…when the mod status change from updated to outdated….if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff….know that https://media.giphy.com/media/e3URFlLQywEPC/giphy.gif

…But jokes aside: please don’t do that.
When it becomes necessary, and when I can, I will update my stuff, do not worry.

*QA*

-"SFO version?"
I’m currently taking a break from SFO submodding for the time being.
It doesn’t mean that I will never make SFO submods again, but that If I’m going to make one I’ll let you know that in advance.
If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mod who currently lacks one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.
Just credit me and we are cool!

And that’s all I guess!
Credits time!

Thanks to H3ro and his great tool!
Thanks to Phazer for RME editor!
Any of this would not have been possible without Frodo45127’s RPFM which is still updated to this very day, thank you!
I would also like to thank Sebidee and Caligula for their great modding guides!
And I would like to thank you!
Whatever you liked my mod or not thanks a bunch for giving it a try!

Let’s be brutally honest now: there are countless modders that are WAY more talented than me and that would deserve your money more than me.
That said, If you have grown to like my works so much to the point that you want to express your appreciation or just put a smile on my face…well: I will not stop you 😉 .
You have my gratitude for all the support you can throw at me, independently by the donation’s sum: you are all equals to me and I do thank you all.
From my part I can assure you that your donations will not be wasted, in fact I would mainly use them to:
-complete the Total War Warhammer DLC collection and thus expand my modding possibilities
-speed up my Warhammer 3 preorder
-PC related things
