it has wacky melee animation. Still pretty good and weirdly funny unit

@GIANT IRON SKELETON I used a very early build of Asset Editor. To my knowledge, current versions don't do animation splicing anymore. I've wanted to rework these for WH3 for some time but haven't had time. Message me in the modding den and maybe we can collab on bringing these guys to WH3. Their animation sets need a rebuild from the ground up, but the custom animations here should all move over.

What animation tools set you are using? I am also a modder and I am planning to make an ork gunnery mod in wh3.

yeah maybe not a good idea if you given all the guns and tech to the boyz, End time will truly come if you remake this mod.
Dont work yourself too hard Snek! Thanks for all the great works.

These days I wouldn't call it a plan so much as a hope. They can't be 'ported' to WH3 anymore with the kinds of changes that have been made since launch, they would need to be rebuild from the beginning.

Any plan to import this mod to WH3?

Snek, your boyz need you.
THEY NEED YOU. THEY NEED THE DAKKA!
Don't forget about the Gunny Boyz!

omg I MISS THE GUNNY BOYS in Immortal Empires I wish I knew how to mod. If any tips on where best to learn please send me a link

WHEN WILL WE SEE THESE GREAT BOYZ ON WH3 They were my favourite unit

too powerful !

Ah, thanks Snek! and yeah that's entirely fair! WH3 is something to look forward to haha.

I'm trying to get all the animation tools set back up for myself because I really want to add some fun gobbo stuff. That new stuff may come when I port this to WH3 though.

I'd love to see a goblin canon, or night-goblin Sniper unit personally, but I love this, it's great to see some Dakka! ^^

Do these also have scrap upgrade?

That's interesting that there is some lore basis.

In the logic of the world, it made no sense to me that there were ZERO gunpowder using greenskins. At the very least the Black Orcs, who were created by the very pro-gun and pro-technology Chaos Dwarfs, would have been capable of firearm usage. Recovering scrap from enemies on the battlefield is a core mechanic in their campaign so a logical source of some gunpowder weapons is built right in.

I was just reading about some Gotrek & Felix books, and apparently gun-wielding Orcs are mentioned in Orcslayer. So I think that makes this technically canon?

Anyway, mod looks great! I love that you made the weapons look Proppa' Orcy!

"Fineleey weze got da dakka gud an' proppa, now to blast doz gitz back to sigma."

always wanted this kind of mod. i imagine ork gunpowder units have way more models than your average ranged imperial unit, but unit caps due to how rare it is for an ork to have the dexterity to pick his own nose.

imagine a goblin version of free company militia.

I have to play Azhag with this great mod. I've always felt that Azhag needs more variety of Orc ranged units, and this perfectly fit into what thought! Thank you!

the alternative unit cards mod doen't work

Thanks Owl, I will keep the cards I have, but U have linked your alternates in the description.

I made some unit cards maybe you can use them

That's good to hear, thank you for the quick response!

I have gobbo gun units much like that on my list of things to do. At the moment though, I'm doing reskins and QOL maintenance on all my existing mods to get them ready for WH3 and leave them in a great final state as WH2 comes to it's last DLC.

As a follow up id love to see night gobbo's shooting splodin' spores and regular goblins shooting pistols as rifles

I love these guys, can we get some gobbo gunny boys?

I like these guys, I never used the black orc snipers (at least yet), but I love 'em!

Are the units effected by tech/red skills?
Is the black orks get the faction buff from grimgor?
Would be amazing to have a normal size black ork shootgun guys for line infantry :)

aight. I'm glad I could be of help to ye

Barry, that's no reference. That's just an animation context I completely forgot existed and did not reanimate. I'll get that figured out this week.

not sure if this issue has been mentioned yet, but the ork shoota boys seem to completely glitch out when climbing up a wall by ladder. Most of them just float on top of the ladder without ever getting on the wall, and the few shoota orcs who are on the wall ignore attack orders. When I tried ordering them to leave the wall, they actually just, uh, walked away. Mid-air.

Is this a reference to actual ork lore? At this point, I won't even be surprised if there's a story about ork anti gravity belts powered by sheer force of belief that it works lol.

Ork sniper, really? Nobody escapes Emperor's Inquisition I guess.

Now that's the boyz you don't see everyday. If there's elves with guns I've seen everything

@Snek thank you, keep up with the good work

I can't believe this is the first mod I see giving the Boyz some dakka

Exactly what I wanted in my life. Stinky Lizard Boyz not gonna know what hit 'em. Cheers for the awesome mod my dude!

@Snek, don't bother with the reloading! They're orkz, they don't need powder to shoot from their guns.

I was already giving all the artwork a redo. I took another shot at the unit cards.

The reloading shouldn't have remained in the mod anyway. I have removed those and will instead ask Marthenil if he wants to support this animation set.

Why did you give them a reload animation? They're not shoving the powder down the gun with a stick, it's just empty air. It looks really silly.

Man i really like this mod, but what do you think about improving the quality of the cards?No offense obviously, but I don't know why they seems so blurry, it's kinda disturbing

Don't worry i didnt even see it and frankly i think Dallas would do a good job in warhammer

There's no such thing as "enough" *Dakka* but it's a good start . (I maybe shouldn't phonepost while bleary eyed in the morning)

Mah man

There's no such thing as "enough" Dallas but it's a good start .

Do we have enough Dakka?

Oh god.... this mod is almost as terrifying as Ikits Doomrocket Howitzer

New kislevite streltsi looking neat

I'll do a submod for unit caps, yeah. I think having a cap tied to resources or dwarf holds under greenskin control would make sense.

Pretty cool; any chance to implement a unit cap though? It would feel kinda strange to be overrun by an AI using an army of only DAKKA bois

Should of named it Dakka boyz
