Description
Hi followers and fans!!
The Dark Gods be praised!
Finally the Uniforms and Heraldry of the Beastmen is here!






This is a graphical mod that changes appearence, in a more lore-friendly way, for some units, exspecially the shielded ones.
With this mod I re-worked and worked from scratch a lot of textures adding tons of variants referring always to original tabletop models and painting schemas.

The results are:
- New shields decals for gor and ungor units reflecting different tribes iconography
- Reworked some specular textures (in particular the brass components, now more similar to brass than gold)
- Reworked faction colors scheme, expecially the skin colors ( nomore anemic-white cows)
- Reworked factions icons and banners (thanks to [HN] who inspired me with his spectacular banner mod)



Well, 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 decals are taken from all recent warhammer fantasy official documentations and artworks (in this case the 7th edition Beastmen Army Book).
Every textures was wisely edited keeping always in mind these documentations and, if missing, keeping always in mind lore standards.
The fundamental principle that guided my work are:

- Gor usually use more complex glyphs and icons on shields
- Ungor use simpler design for shield decorations

The new heraldry shields emblems are available for all Beastmen tribes:



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 Beastmen 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! ;)




SPECIAL THANKS
- To [HN] for his suggestions about faction banner creating process (yours are the best)
- To Creative Assembly and Total War developing team for this game
- To the artist who designed the Beastmen armybook cover image I used to create my mod icon
- To Games Workshop, and GW artits for the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop game and documentations

Hi my friends ... Finally I decided to buy WHIII. I have been away from modding for many months and having little time available I am confident in the possibility of using the textures of my old mods. I would therefore need to have suggestions and recommendations from those who are more up to date than me on how to edit the new units models and tables. Thanks for your help! :steamsalty:

Are you planning on making a uniform mod for the Warriors of Chaos faction?

Okay so it took me a few months and I just realized that some of my unit color mods aren't working after a CA update cause apparently it doesn't matter what I input into the Unit_variant_colours_tables no units get any custom colors anymore. What's going on? And how did you worked around this?

Urgh, another question. What about Tabletop Heraldry and U&H? Which goes above which?

I love what you did with the skin textures on the last pic!
