Blood Knights - Halberdiers

Description
Hi everyone!
here we are with another unit mod. As already said i'm not lore expert, i just want to contribute to the community hope you like it and if you do, consider a thumbs up :)

i'm starting to think to rename the whole mods as something like "Knights/Warriors of the Blood Keep - Halberdiers" ecc. to give some continuity to the units and not having only a blob of blood knights :P

WHAT THE MOD DOES
It adds for all the vampire factions (Vampire counts, Von Carstein, Mousillon) a unit of blood knights with halberd.
The unit comes with custom card and officer (helmet the same as my other unit mod and a new custom shield), you can see it in the screenshots. For now unit can be recruited with the first level of the vampire cript but it required like vanilla level 2 armory (for that i have lowered their prices a bit).
-Custom ability, Blood Knight's Hunger.

COMPATIBILITY AND ISSUES
Should be compatible with everything since it adds only a unit to the roster. I've tested in custom battle and not extensively in the campaign. Tested also with highly modded game and it works.

- PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY ISSUE YOU FIND -

BALANCING AND SUGGESTIONS
As before, i tried to balance looking at vanilla and other halberdiers unit mod, i think it can be improved since i imagine them to be strong and especially powerful against mounted and big foes, but all the passive abilities blood knights have can lead to unbalance maybe. Please let me know what you think about balancing, stats, abilities, number of unit ecc, it is important for the mod :)

I am open to any suggestions, as for the shield, if it looks strange is because the vanilla one is quite annoying to edit, so i cannot achieve a better result for now i think..


Again, this mod would not have been possible without the Sebidee's tutorial and unit modding template: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?749888-Sebidee-s-Complete-Guide-to-Warhammer-Unit-Modding

GEMFX's preset used is the same as Valius Forta's Full Plate State Troops, you can find it there with instructions too.

MY OTHER MODS
Vampiric Speed and Buff
Toeknee's Vampiric Speed - Updated
Blood Knights - Dual Wielding
Blood Knights - Greatsword
Hel Fenn Zombies
Blood-Knights - Mounted Greatsword
Abhorash - First of the Blood Dragons

FUTURE PLAN
- More units to the roster of the vampires, next one will probably be a greatsword unit, since there are many, i'm planning more retexture and more experiments on those :)
- Hero unit(s), but that probably will take more time.


yeah. I love screenshots.

Hey is it possible for you to create a mounted bloodknight greatsword unit?
Whysofurious  [author] 14 Jun, 2017 @ 8:23am 
@No Skill thank you :) i haven't think of a discussion, from now on i will open one for any other unit mod :)
NoSkill 14 Jun, 2017 @ 5:36am 
i made a small balancing discussion. Feel free to suggest and thank you for your awesome Knights :)

Glad you like them too! :) yeah i know they are not lore friendly but as for some skeleton archers mod, i believe that it's in the player choice to use them or not :) and as you say, it's fun to have more blood knights units and i'm glad if people have fun with mine too :)

I like them too. Honestly i feel like they should have halberds from the beginning even in vanilla. Not lore friendly but who cares. All for fun.
