Wargrove of Woe Reborn 4K Drycha/Coeddil/Faction Reskin

Reskins all the forest spirits of Drycha's faction, including popular modded units such as ChaosRobie's bow wielding tree folk.

NOTE: Required mods are not actually required, but they do enhance things considerably!

I played Drycha's faction for the first time not too long ago and was not taken with the purple color scheme so liberally applied across the three units that form the mainstay of the faction's forces.

I believe there should be diverse appearance in the creatures, especially since Drycha's roster is fairly pared down, and to reflect that the Wargrove of Woe is not some official standing force of either Asrai or the Ancients, but rather a rag tag assortment of tree folk from many realms and forests unified in their hatred for outsiders, thus reflecting their more diverse appearance.

This being said, the lower ranking tree folk, Dryads/Tree Kin share the same yellowish orange of glow of Drycha herself, while her Branchwraith's retain their purple glows (this follows the same two tone color relationship in tree folk seen in the main line WE factions with green glow=normal unit/blue glow=special). Tree Men are more individualistic, and so sport their unique color schemes.

CHANGES:
-Drycha has had her glow fest severely curtailed, limited only to her navel and eyes/mouth. I would have had her body completely glow free but there is a strange texture issue with her belly swirl such that only a glow will cover it up. Her bark is a two-tone green and earthy beige, reflective of how she is depicted in official Games Workshop sources.

-Drycha's spell effects when she does her root attacks have also been reworked from purple to green. She still has little wisps of purple light in her idle stance however.

-Coeddil has had very minor changes, since vanilla Coeddil came very close to his loreful burnt Tree Man description - his leaves are no longer springy and bright but charred and no longer glowing, he is now wholly black, his fiery glow has been modified to have slightly more red color value, and it is very subtle, but I have incorporated burnt bark textures on prominent stretches of his body.

-In addition to alternate color palette, Drycha's Malevolent Dryads have had their glows cleaned up, they have less glowing in general, and their head glows have been refined so they're not so 'cloudy', more in line with the precise, Wood Elf style Dryad glows.

-Every Malevolent Ancient Treeman has a different color scheme, depending on their lore of magic. Also true of Malevolent Branchwraiths, though Branchwraith's do not possess unique glows and are more mono-color compared to the various contrasts available to the Ancient Treemen.

-If you are subscribed to the Blackbriar Topiary mod, Treeman (Bow) and Dryads (Bow) no longer share color schemes with their melee equivalents.

-Melee Treemen and Tree Kin have new color palettes, white and red/black and red, respectively.

-Unit cards from Mandras' Blackbriar Topiary Remastered mod have been included in this mod, and in turn been recolored to match the various new colors across the Malevolent spirit units.

-Vanilla Malevolent tree folk unit cards have also been recolored, as well as the various portraits for Drycha.

Dryads will not display properly if you're using hooveric's reskin.


Many thanks to 1^Shep^8ardov for supplying the 4K textures, especially that of the Tree Kin who were not originally in his 4K Wood Elves mod and to Xoudad, for his very active role in arranging all the assets so this mod would work as intended, could not have done this mod without either of them!

Mega credit to ChaosRobie as well for the Blackbriar Topiary lads and Mandras for the amped up unit cards.

Also thank you calmn&normaltime for helping with LODs at the very end and KLB for the splendid 4K screenshots!
