Undead Sigmarite Priests (WIP) [OUTDATED, SUB TO THE NEW VERSION!]

Description
As the title says this mod introduces the Undead Sigmarite Priests into the Vampire Counts roster, they are all High tier units.
Respectively:
-Fallen
-Fallen (Dual Hammer Cavalry)
-Exalted Fallen
-Exalted Fallen (Dual Hammer Cavalry)
-Haylael The First Fallen (hero)
-Unholy Fallen (Great Hammers)
-Unholy Fallen Cohort (Sword & Shield)
-Unholy Fallen Cohort (Sword & Shield Cavalry)


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

*BALANCE*

This one was hard.
I do think that I may have gone overboard in a few places, but balancing units like this is not easy.
They still have a huge cost and upkeep but to be honest I do feel like they need a little nerf...dunno in what area though.
As always feedback is appreciated.

*COMPATIBILITY*

As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess with vanilla units.
I'm playing the game with 70+ different mods and everything is working fine.
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want the Fallen in your campaign you'll have to start a new one.

*KNOWN ISSUES*

-Due to model limitation (the warrior priest model seems to refuse any kind of shield I throw at him) I had to change torso for the Fallen Cohort, It does look a bit odd but nothing tragic overall.
-Since the Fallen are pretty much Warrior Priests with skeleton heads sometimes, if you zoom enough, you can see minor textures missing, It may be caused by the different models mixing.


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Let me be straight with you...when the mod status change from updated to outdated....if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar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

*Q&A*
1) " Why Is this marked as Work In Progress?"
That could be misleading so I will clarify here and now: this mod Is finished.
Or at very least Is finished by what I can do and add.
I can tweak It with balance updates based on feedbacks but that's pretty much It.
Despite that I still do feel like this Is unfinished.
There are still a plethora of things that could make this mod better like:
-Change the models to make their equipment rustier and in line with other VC's skeleton armies.
-Make a unique model for the Fallen Cohort.
-Make a unique model for the Unholy Fallen Great Hammers since they are currently using Dwarf ones.
-Make a unique model for Haylael and (this one would be totally optional but still cool) his zombie dragon.
-And many other things.
And that's the problem: all of that would be insanely cool but sadly I do NOT have the skills to do any of that.
So that's why this Is a WIP for me, and It will stay like that for the time being.
Given that, I do grant Full permissions to use this mod as template for any modder interested in using any of this for his personal project, or to complete this one, do whatever you want.
I just ask for proper credits, nothing more nothing less ;)
And erase my unique indexes from your brain, of course.

And that's all I guess!
Credits time!

Firstly I would like to thank all the artists who made those Warhammer original pics that I have modified, thank you!
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!

Bad news boys, It's seems that my latest updates for fixing a problem with unique indexes broke everything.
I will try to fix this in the coming days by re-releasing all my mods.
Sorry for the inconvenience and please be patient.

@Hierophantom I do kinda agree on that, but sadly both the warrior priest and arch lector models seems to refuse any kind of shield, that would mean changing the cohort units in no-shield units.
But since this is a WIP if I'm going to get more request similar to yours I will gladly change them!

Gave the mod a quick try and I think you did a great job on the models overall but the sword and shield versions look like grave guards with skirts. Honestly I'd just cut em out and focus on the cool hammer variants.

@Titoos You are welcome!

they should have better animation maybe well u dont loose anything heheh anyways great and fun mod
zerg93  [author] 26 Feb, 2021 @ 5:42am 
@Titoos You mean putting a Zombie head on an Arch lector body?
Didn't try that so I don't know if the results would be better or worse.
T1tOoO 26 Feb, 2021 @ 5:10am 
what about zombie models ? :o
zerg93  [author] 26 Feb, 2021 @ 3:44am 
@Titoos I did plan to introduce arch lector models originally.
But the thing is: skull heads don't look really good on their models.
Which is weird if you think about It, since the arch lector model and the warrior priest one should be very similar and with few differences.
And yet the missing textures are more evident on the arch lector model.
I do not plan to give them a Lord but tell you what: if I'm going to get enough requests about adding arch lector models I will add them despite looking so so. :cozyspaceengineersc:
I do not plan to buff them either since they are already strong units (in fact maybe too strong) and since you can also buff them with normal lords and Haylael himself.

interesting mod, never tought about it, u could add a arch lector skeleton as lord buffing them like the living one do it that would be interesting
