This will be coming to WH3 along with my Alith Anar next time I'm home. Should be 2-3 weeks or even a month if my work takes me out of the country.

I'd rather see him without the helmet, as his transformation into T'zarkan wouldn't be nearly as impressive or as fun. But I definitely want this reskin in TW:W3. 100%

@ScropinKing
Not a bad idea. Probably not going to happen but not bad.

Can it be in total warhammer 3 but with helmet

Something is messing up Malus in my game. I confederated with him when starting as Malekith, and he can't use his Possession mechanic. The option is simply not there. No button to activate it. He has other skills, he can use. But he can't surrender control to Tz'arkan. The option isn't even there on his UI, when I select him. Now if I start the campaign as Malus, I can use his skill just fine, and let Tz'arkan take over. It only happens when I confederate him as someone else.

Does anyone know if this is happening in their games? Just me? I'm trying to go through anything I have related to Dark Elves and find what's causing this, because I like transforming Malus occasionally. It's a cool mechanic when you're in a pinch.

@trevorbergershank
Thanks! I would consider that, but it is not a priority. The whiter skin is deliberate, in keeping with his description in the books and depiction on novel covers. If I ever do there will be a link to it in this mod's description.

Hi, great mod, Malus looks great. Would you consider a version with just the black/red recolour for malus? His skin looks extremely white.
GunKing  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 6:00pm 
Everyone! I've returned again and just added the movie pack as a separate and required mod. This will simplify things and hopefully make it more consistent in terms of appearing and disappearing from the data folder.


@ÚwÚ
Sure. All I did was use this program called Reshade. You can find all sorts of configurations on the web for what settings you think look best. https://reshade.me/

how did you make these pictures so HD looking? can you teach me?
GunKing  [author] 2 Jul, 2020 @ 9:06pm 
I was on land today so I just wanted to say thanks for the comments & input guys, when I return home later this month I'll for sure put up a separate mod for the movie file, didn't know there had been issues with it disappearing.

As for the colors, I had the essence of Chaos in mind, that which signifies something is Chaos related but not neccessarily god specific, which across both Warhammer universes tends to be portrayed as pinkish red, moreso in 40k with the Warp/Eye Of Terror but you can still see hints of it in Fantasy with the Hellcannon colors.

The 'lorefulness' of it doesn't bother me, I consider it to be true to the spirit of the story and in-line with the overall Chaos aesthetic, considering Malus's 'loreful' transformation is far less spectacular in the books, he gets black eyes and more veiny, which not only isn't very Slaanesh like but obviously wouldn't read well in a game of massive battles.

@Alan - Think one msg would've been enough.

@recolor complaints
Not sure where's the problem. If you're in love with the vanilla colorset, just don't subscribe to a mod that changes such things.

Maybe it's bc I'm no Warhammer-nerd, but to me it's totally legit to recolor this ugly "pinkish purple". It's already enough that nearly every single DF faction does need that ("unbelievable threatening") hearth on their banner.

Can't describe how illusion-breaking it is to play a supposed to be "dark" faction if you simply cannot take the happy-rainbow-vanilla-color it has gotten for serious.

So if you're ok with that, lovely, but you shouldn't use a recolor mod then or just delete the containing "faction_banners_tables" within the pack yourself. If it's not enough to get the banner back to pink, I rly don't understand what makes you wanna use the mod.

@GunKing - Thanks for another fitting variant to alter players' TWW2 experience! :RyseCoin:
Fenris 2 Jul, 2020 @ 5:25pm 
looks amazing but like others stated one issue is lore, around his aura and demon powers its a demon of lust and assassination rather than blood and skulls. so the pinkish purple could've stayed. but i can give props he looks like a bad ass with it red.
Dan 2 Jul, 2020 @ 5:17am 
Some of the changes are nice but I don't like the purple to red. After all, he is a Slaaneshi demon, and therefor, purple is his theme. Not Khorne red.
Pawulon 2 Jul, 2020 @ 2:28am 
Cool, now we need a mod that expand upon this prophecy of scourge of khaine
𝒦.ℒ.ℬ. 1 Jul, 2020 @ 11:54am 
it says hes away. xD
The Rogue Roman 1 Jul, 2020 @ 8:26am 
Love the reskin, Malus looks great
The Rogue Roman 1 Jul, 2020 @ 8:25am 
Hey man, you can release your effects file as a separate mod on the workshop. Just make it movie pack type and upload it as normal.
Darkwolf 30 Jun, 2020 @ 4:06pm 
Hey, i noticed that the vfx file keeps disappearing from my data folder. Can anyone help me out?
Beaver 30 Jun, 2020 @ 6:24am 
I love the amount of chaos in this chaos mod lol
CaledorNation 30 Jun, 2020 @ 12:43am 
@Gunking - Yeah, I liked the white armour at first, but now I'm thinking to have volcanic black to red - Living flame feel would be so cool. Or like the old school green and red armour from 4th edition. Hope you have a great trip away!

@mirageno4, Frosty_dogs

Welcome guys! I'm going back to work for another 3 weeks so I won't be able to update this mod whenever CA decides to release their latest patch, this mod will still work however.
Dragnosh 29 Jun, 2020 @ 5:24am 
amazing mod this is!
Frosty_dogs 29 Jun, 2020 @ 2:41am 
Thanks for the update, Malus looks awesome.
GunKing  [author] 28 Jun, 2020 @ 11:02pm 
@Darkstrand
Thank you very much!

@^1Shep^8ardov
My pleasure. That mod is delightful, brings out many features and colors in the maps that could go unnoticed.
I LIVE AGAIN 28 Jun, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
@GunKing thanks a lot, now Total Random Weather mod will be a part of my game :Companions:
Darkstrand 28 Jun, 2020 @ 7:35pm 
Wow, this looks amazing. Great work man!
GunKing  [author] 28 Jun, 2020 @ 7:16pm 
@^1Shep^8ardov
I took these shots but it was with KLB's ReShade, and yes, that was the exact mod I used in conjunction with many of these pics.
I LIVE AGAIN 28 Jun, 2020 @ 7:04pm 
By any chance is it Total Random Weather mod?
𝒦.ℒ.ℬ. 28 Jun, 2020 @ 5:20pm 
I can't remember sorry, pretty sure there is a lighting mod, but ofc i tweaked my reshade to suit changes so it would vary regardless tbh.
I LIVE AGAIN 28 Jun, 2020 @ 5:11pm 
@Ꞣℒദ . . is it only reshade you're using there or some lighting mod as well?
GunKing  [author] 28 Jun, 2020 @ 4:41pm 
@CaledorNation
Thanks! What did you have in mind for Imrik? I thought his armor was already badass.

@^1Shep^8ardov
It is not, it was made by someone else. Who just commented it looked like. He will post it as a mod entry sometime.

@TRÄP LØRD, maca0147
Thanks guys!
𝒦.ℒ.ℬ. 28 Jun, 2020 @ 4:30pm 
@ardov, i gave mine to gunking but i might upload it to workshop idk.
maca0147 28 Jun, 2020 @ 3:15pm 
This is beautiful and feels a lot more unique than vanilla, nice work man
CaledorNation 28 Jun, 2020 @ 3:12pm 
Awesome! Can you make a Prince Imrik Mod? Make his armour baddass again
I LIVE AGAIN 28 Jun, 2020 @ 2:20pm 
Can reshade preset you used for screenshots be found on workshop?
ブリスラウ☯ ク 28 Jun, 2020 @ 12:14pm

GunKing  [author] 28 Jun, 2020 @ 7:51am 
Mod has been fixed dudes! I forgot one little change before I passed out, but you should all be good to go now!

Darkwolf 28 Jun, 2020 @ 4:11am 
I'm also getting a rainbow, patchwork malus. Any fix?
Faendris 28 Jun, 2020 @ 3:42am

Frosty_dogs 28 Jun, 2020 @ 1:52am 
Mod looks awesome. Put the pack in the data folder, the sword and the effects turned red but Malus is a rainbow. Any ideas?
28 Woo 28 Jun, 2020 @ 1:51am
