Skitteritch's Reclaimers

I was planning to release this yesterday but I didn't make It.
Oh well: Happy new year guys!

This mod adds two new elite melee units for the Skaven roster, respectively:

-Skitteritch's Reclaimers (Halberds) [capped at 1]
-Skitteritch's Reclaimers (Sword & Shield) [capped at 1]

They are only available through the Skavenblight building chain, this means that while you are supposed to mainly get them with clan Skyre you can also get them with the other major clans if you re-take Its ruins, or take It by force/confederation during your campaign, notice that you'll need a tier 3 Clan Armoury too (clanrat building chain).
Here's my custom lore bit for these units: "This host of elite Stormvermins fight in the name of the long lost Skitteritch clan. To honor the memory of Grasshk Maloeil they voluntarily sacrifice one eye to replace It with a chunk of raw Warpstone. They will not rest until Estalia and all of the Southern Realms will be burned to the ground."

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

*BALANCE*

Statwise They are a slightly stronger version of the Council Guard.
In my opinion they are strong but not OP.
Keep in mind that I have tested them in custom battles only though.
That means that I'm not taking into account Lord's Campaign Bonuses.
If you have suggestions for possible buffs or nerfs let me know down in the comment section!
I'm open to changes!
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*

As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
I'm playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these elite Stormvermins in your campaign you'll have to start a new one.

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-none, for now.

*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Let me be straight with you...when the mod status change from updated to outdated....if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff....know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.
-"If they are Stormvermins why did you use Queek's model?"
I did want to use base Stormvermins but H3ro asset editor Is currently giving me back pure white textureless models whenever I try to open anything Stormvermin-related. Probably a recent bug of the latest version.
Queek's model was the next best thing so I ended up using It as a base for my custom units and I'm pretty satisfied with the current results anyway.
When the Stormvermin models problem will be fixed I might return to work on this mod to add some faces from them, so that these units can look less like a Queek's clones armada.
-"Skaven caring for things like honor and traditions? Not very Skaven-like. Plus, you based elite melee units in Skavenblight with Clan Skyre of all places! The guys that love to use nukes and ratling guns! That clashes pretty hard!"
Yeah I'm well aware of all of that but Skavenblight It's the closest main Skaven city to the Southern Realms and It Is also known to be a beacon for ALL of the Skaven kind, not only Clan Skyre.
-"Weren't Albino rats known to be the most elite/strong units in the Skaven roster following their fur-caste system?"
On paper yes: Albino Stormvermins are one of the greatest and most disciplined military forces that the Skaven can muster.
In practice? I personally think that Queek's red guard would kick their butts any day of the week in a 1vs1.
These units are slightly stronger than the Council Guard and I don't regret nothing, deal with It.
-"Do they work with Throt's laboratory?"
No idea. I do have The Twisted & The Twilight DLC now but I still don't know nothing about Throt's laboratory.
That said: I did give them the Throt's laboratory purchasable effects but I can't guarantee that everything Is going to work properly, come back and give some feedback about that after you tested It and I'll see If I can do something about It.
-"The Great Horned Rat doesn't like caps-caps!"

And that's all I guess!
Credits time!

Thanks to Phazer for RME editor!
Thanks to H3ro and his great tool!
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
-PC related things
