Blue Face Tribe Pirates
*Please consult the Known Issues and QA sections before commenting, thanks.*
This mod adds the following units for all of the major Greenskin factions, respectively:
-Blue Face Tribe Boyz (5 unit and officer variants)
-Blue Face Tribe Trolls (5 unit variants)
-Captured Imperial Cannons (With Overseer officer)
They are all available through the Greenskins’ main port building chain.
The Blue Face Tribe, also known as the Blue-Faced Orcs, are the scourge of the Black Gulf, with their pirate fleets preying on shipping between Araby and the Border Princes.
Ok, presentation over: let’s dive into the technical stuff!
*BALANCE*
They are not very different from other vanilla units so they should still be vanilla friendly.
NOTICE: The units’ stats screenshot was taken with the unit size setting set to large, so expect more HP and unit 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 the Blue Face Tribe in your campaign you’ll have to start a new one.
*KNOWN ISSUES*
-The Captured Imperial cannons’ officer will clip his weapon through the very first soldier in front of him.
-Not really an issue but more of a "happy incident" : as you may have noticed from the screenshot there Is an Albino Troll variant.
This was not intended.
For some odd reason that modified model just turned out like that while the others are completely fine.
So…uh…enjoy Albino Pirate Trolls I guess?
*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Let me be straight with you…when the mod status change from updated to outdated….if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff….know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*
-"Lore Friendly?"
Sort of.
The Blue Face Tribe Is a real thing and It has been cited a few times in the 2003 Orcs and Goblins Collectors Guide, Warhammer Armies: Orcs and Goblins (6th Edition) and Warhammer Armies: Orcs and Goblins (8th Edition).
There isn’t very much about them though and the units featured in this mod are completely made up.
-"Custom faction?"
No, I generally don’t make custom factions but if You are interested and have previous experience with custom factions feel free to make a custom faction mod out of this, just remember to credit me.
-"THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! WHERE IS MY PIRATE ORC CAPTAIN ARMED WITH A CUTLASS AND A PISTOL AND WITH A PARROT PET!?"
¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ dunno mate.
But in all seriousness:
A) I generally don’t make Lords and avoid Heroes if possible.
B) That particular Orc Captain would require a custom animation and (probably) a custom model made from scratch with blender or similar programs and I don’t make custom animations nor custom models from scratch.
-"SFO?"
As a matter of fact I’m officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: 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.
And that’s all I guess!
Credits time!
Thanks to Phazer for RME editor!
Thanks to H3ro and his great tool!
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
-PC related things
