Domina Vult V2 4K Bretonnia Knight Reskin

Description
Reskins Bretonnian Knights to have opaque visors among with a host of many other lore and tabletop style visual touches.

This is a port of my WH2 Bretonnia mod but with quite a few updates on top of all the old goodies. In addition, many Bretonnian visual assets have been upscaled to 4K textures. While my technique for 4K upscaling isn't nearly as detailed as good friend^1Shep^8ardov (I LIVE AGAIN as he calls himself now), given how old Bretonnia textures are ANY sort of touch up makes a very large difference and contributes to the more 'detailed' look I was looking to impart to this faction since they are absolutely bursting with detail in Games Workshop artwork.

CHANGES:

-Opaque visors for every helmeted Knight in the Bretonnia roster, including Alberic and Henri le Massif.

-Ornamented lances for Grail Knights/Knights of the Realm inspired by tabletop designs and lore descriptions. Grail Knight lances have more animal-grail motifs/jewels reflecting their greater religious zeal, Realm Knights have more secular Bretonnia designs on their lances. Knights Errant have plain vanilla lances but with upscaled textures

-Grail Knights/Guardians have Bretonnian style purity seals on their shields (but not on all shields).

-Grail Guardians have more stone textured crests and each of their helmets come decorated with many candles to better reflect their closer connection to monasteries and general fanaticism, they have 2 more candle variants than they had in the WH2 version of this mod, they no longer share any variants with Grail Knights.

-New/altered crests for Grail Knights include: a matte white unicorn crest, antlered grail cup crest and a golden dragon crest.

-New/altered crests for Knights of the Realm include: a silver pegasus crest, a matte green dragon crest, and a pewter serpent with a painted red flag crest – a very common crest on the tabletop, often seen with other flag colors and often held by other beasts.

--The Paladin has a new winged fleur-de-lys grail crest variant inspired by tabletop Grail Knights and artwork. This crest is rather over the top for a troop variant, and seeing how SOME Paladins have sipped from the Grail, it seemed appropriate a Paladin could have it (and I gave the golden dragon Paladin crest variant to the Grail Knights because Paladins had too many dragons).

-Questing Knights have a new a 'battle dresser' variant which features more shields and a statue dedicated to the Lady. They also have a variant where there is no pile of stuff on the back of their horse so as to not look all identical.

-Bretonnian Lords have had their helmet crest variety restored, as of the time of this writing they only featured a helmetless variant and one crested variant in Immortal Empires, now the dragon and swan helmets are restored, the dragon variant now having a matte red finish as seen on Agilgar of Parravon from the referenced rulebook art in the preview wheel, and the swan variant being tweaked with a rack of antlers to better resemble one of my favorite pieces of Bretonnia fan art.

-4K upscaled textures on many Bretonnian assets.

In future updates I intend to make more Paladin/Lord helmet variants, more Knight torso variants and spruce up the Companions of Quenelles RoR considerably, perhaps kitbashing some new crests based off of the more unusual things I've seen on Bretonnian heads in the artwork.

This mod works just fine with Lily's Grail Foot Knights mod. If you find a Grail Knight on foot type mod and want it supported, let me know and I'll see what I can do with the next update.

KNOWN BUGS:
-Alberic de Bordeleaux as of Patch 5.2 has mismatched colors on his head, as in no longer the blue and yellow of Bordeleaux. I have tried very hard to restore them using existing material files but it seemingly can't be done without rendering his head invisible. I can only hope that in time I either find a solution or CA does something somewhere like they did with horse colors.

The mod works great, and I'm thrilled with Luan. If possible, the beautiful knight's tophelmes should be worn by Lords Alberic, Cassion and Lord Baston.

Sounds like a mod conflict there, in either conflicting mods or conflicting load order. I see no such thing on my end.

Honestly one of the best bretonnian mods in the workshop. There is a glitch however of there being green bits over the horses for some reason.

Thanks! Just be sure to be subscribed to the mod that changes his model like that first, and then load this one on top of it.

Oh! That's great! Leoncourt is finally wearing a real knight's helmet. I really love this mod. Great job! Thank you.

1) 헬멧을 보면 Knight 유닛 사이에 다른 동물 상징이 있다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. Juiced Up Grail Knights 모드를 구독했다면 Grail Knights는 빛나는 바이저를 갖게 됩니다.
2) Knights는 다릅니다. 이 모드가 어떻게 나타나는지 방해하는 다른 모드를 구독했을 수 있습니다.

1) 왕국기사단과 성배기사 차이가 빛나는 랜스인데
랜스 말고 외형적으로도 차이 나게 할 수 없을지?
2) 한 부대의 모든 유닛이 같은 외형인데 바닐라처럼 개별적인 차이가 나게 할 수 없는지?

I understand, CA seems to break the heraldy every update, it must be exhausting to mod around.

It's minor enough that it is ignorable anyway, and the exceptional quality of the mod makes up for it ,thank you for responding.

Thanks for letting me know. I won't be doing anything about it. I am wholly tired of tinkering with Bretonnian heraldry textures/material files and my patience is at an end. If there are glaring model issues/missing heads, obviously I will fix, but for random color mismatch... I just don't care anymore. There are more mods for me to work on and interesting games to play to occupy my time.

Anyone else is welcome to link me a fix and I will update the mod accordingly.

As of the current update, some knights appear to have mismatched lance and helm garb colours from the rest of their variant set (tested with only this reskin present).

I find the mod works extremely well when used alongside the WH1 texture project, it replaces the 4k upscales, but I prefer the aesthetic, and it also improves the horse textures.
