Special Beards for Special Dwarfs 4K Beard Variety Reskin

Description
This mod gives the Dawi leadership and special units a new variety of beard colors, while also diversifying the hues of orange for the Slayer units.

Vanilla Dwarf Lords, Runelords, Runesmiths, Thanes and Engineers all shared the exact same hair color, be it all white, all gray, all brown, etc. Now there is a more diverse range of beards, inspired by tabletop paintings and official artwork.

Each of the special units has a variant that still retains the vanilla hair color as well, so there will be white and gray bearded Dwarfs in the mix.

Slayers have had their hair tweaked to be more vibrant and with a greater variety of reddish orange hues, because I thought the vanilla hues were too tame.

CHANGES:
-Runelords have the following beard colors: white, deep red, light blond, burnished brown
-Runesmiths have the following beard colors: brown, black, reddish brown, blond, burnished brown
-Lords have the following beard colors: gray, black, golden blond, light blond, reddish brown
-Engineers have the following beard colors: blond, reddish brown
-Thanes have the following beard colors: bright brownish red, black, dull blond
-Slayers now have 4 variants of orange and red-orange hued hairstyles, except for Dragonback Slayers RoR as I think their hair is already altered for more distinction, at least in hooveric's reskin.
-Unit cards and portraits changed to reflect these beard changes.

This IS compatible with Dryrain's All-In-One reskin, but the portrait changes will not carry across, and not all of the variants may be present. Also ensure you have the correct load order in your mod manager. You will have to play campaign to see most of these variants, as Custom Battle only allows you to see the same one every time.

Many thanks to ^1Shep^8ardov for the 4K textures, and credit to hooveric, whose VMD's I used to have the various characters display in the order that they do.

Good to know. Won't do anything about it for WH2 but when I port this to WH3 I'll keep it in mind.

Hey dude i really love your mod and anything giving our staunch dawi a little more flair is always a welcoming addition. That being said the mod seems to be conflicting with the faction_uniform_colours_table section in the data.pack. This makes it impossible to recolor the dwarfs.

Snorri likes the colour of his new beard!

Sorry to hear that. I've never had that issue. Don't know what mod of yours might be doing that.

I love this mod however some of the slayers end up bald with no beard! And I can't accept this; I don't think I have any other mods that adjust dwarves looks so I'm not sure why this is.

I tried the mod, (using no other mods) in custom battle. I see no difference but for a deep orange hue for the slayer units. Does the mod not work in custom battles perhaps?

Very cool although when I first saw the mod I thought the beards gave them extra stats lol
