Make sure to have them installed and enabled or you are going to get T-posing units and/or crashes.

This mod adds the following units for OvN Chaos Dwarfs, respectively:
-Hashut's Guard
-Infernal Guard (Spears)
-Sons of Darkness [With two custom officer variants]

They are available through the Chaos Dwarfs' main barracks building chain and the Chaos Dwarfs' worship building chain.
All of these units are using both of Toumaï's custom animation and abilities from his Dwarf Phalanx mod and as such they pretty much have the same pros and cons of Toumai's units.
They are good defensive units for holding the line and stalling, just don't abuse the Phalanx ability since (to use Toumai's words) "While under the Phalanx formation ability, few medium units (e.g. Orcs) will be able to hit the dwarfs while their shorts arms won't be able to reach their foes.One solution is to let the phalanx absorb the charge and then disable the formation." .

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

*BALANCE*

Statwise My custom units are Toumai's Dwarf Phalanx unit clones while the Infernal Guard (Spears) Is just a normal Infernal Guard unit with changed weapon stats.
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*

Should be compatible with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with Ovn,Chaos Dwarfs and Toumai's Dwarf Phalanx.
I'm playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these Chaos Dwarfs in your campaign you'll have to start a new one.

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-Some models will inevitably clip their weapons into other models.
-While under the Phalanx formation ability, few medium units (e.g. Orcs) will be able to hit the dwarfs while their shorts arms won't be able to reach their foes.
One solution is to let the phalanx absorb the charge and then disable the formation.

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Let me be straight with you...when the mod status change from updated to outdated....if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar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

-"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 mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.

And that's all I guess!
Credits time!

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
-speed up my Warhammer 3 preorder
-PC related things
