Description:

Hi followers and fans!!
For Grungni!
Finally Uniforms and Heraldry of the Dwarfs is here!

The Dwarfs are the most complete faction in the game and their units appearence is very lore-friendly. They only lack of more diversified shields.
This is a graphical mod that changes appearence, in a more lore-friendly way, for some units.
With this mod I re-worked and worked from scratch a lot of textures adding dozens of variants always referring to original tabletop models and painting schemas.

The results are:
– New lore-friendly shields decals and colour scheme for dwarfs warriors, quarellers, thunderers, rangers
– New and more lore-friendly shields for Longbeards
– Added different colour scheme for Ironbrakers shields
– Alternated uniforms colour scheme for dwarfs warriors, quarellers, thunderers
– New pants colour pattern for slayers and giant slayers
– New textures for the giant slayers two-handed axes
– New look for Hammerers ( golden scale armour instead steel)
– Better steel and gold textures colors for War Machines
– Better uniforms colour scheme for almost all heroes (except legendary lords)
– Reworked almost all factions banners and colours (including battle and campaign banners)

Well I think that it’s all….

This short description is not eough 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-friendly goodies I do lore-friendly goodies …
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 and artworks.
Every textures was wisely edited keeping always in mind these documentations and, if missing, keeping always in mind lore standards.

Dawi usually do not use particular heraldry oin their shields. Often the shields of the same units display different decals (dwarfs ancestor, anvils, hammer, hammer and anvil). The shields background colour scheme usually reflect the clan colours which the units belong to (since in TW warhammer there are not different clans, but factions instead, I made for each faction different shields background patterns). The final result is the totally different looks of the army (more lore-friendly and less uniformed and monotonous).
GRAPHICS AND VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTIONS

I suggest people to use Reshade [reshade.me]. With this new FX Injector you can directly create your custom profile.
Please, read the Reshade instructions and installation process in the official site forum.
Here you can find the link for my preset for Reshade 4.3 : Gigiauz’s Reshade Preset [sfx.thelazy.net]
To load the preset on Reshade click "HOME" key, then you will see a bar with a "+" at the top , click the "+" key and add my preset.

Warning: using this mod with others Dwarfs reskin mods could break the final result and a full lore-friendly game experience. So use other reskins mod at your own risk.

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.
