Can you make a mod for orcs, There is no mode for orcs that allows orcs to trade with each other.

I think the mod needs to be updated. It doesn't work for me unfortunately. It's a shame mods always stop working when a new version is released.

@jakana10 Then find it somewhere else lol.

I would love to see a mod that makes the black orcs look a lot more like Urukhai from Lord of the Rings than the massive cartoonish orcs from world of warcraft

Any luck on getting it to work for Mortal Empires? Really like the mod!
イアン uzo70  [author] 27 Oct, 2017 @ 3:33am 
I am going to be uploading this mod to the Warhammer 2 workshop to be used in Mortal Empires, i am just trying to work out the preperations for moving them over, as well as working on some new mods at the same time :)
Sometimes_Consistent 27 Oct, 2017 @ 3:01am 
Could you make a mortal empires version on twwh 2?
イアン uzo70  [author] 8 Sep, 2017 @ 10:12pm 
@Flux
You are right, Dryrain's All in one reskin mod's pack file name comes before this mod's, this i cannot change unless i reupload the whole mod, but for Warhammer 2 i will upload it so that it will hopefully load before :)

I have updated the "Compatibility" section to be accurate with this new info.
coel 7 Sep, 2017 @ 7:58am 
I can't get it work with Dryrain's All in One Patch? Maybe anything else not compatible?
Spartanmatt 28 Aug, 2017 @ 5:33pm 
Wonderful! Thanks for the update.
イアン uzo70  [author] 26 Aug, 2017 @ 7:50pm 
UPDATE

-Updated the variations file for Steel Faith Overhaul's "Black Orcs (Shields)" to use the weapon and shield variations of this mod again.

-Made the new unit in Steel Faith Overhaul "Black Orc Big'Unz" use the weapon and shield variations of this mod.

@イアン uzo70
The new SFO update just came in, and the only noticable differences from before are their new red shields.
イアン uzo70  [author] 17 Aug, 2017 @ 4:12pm 
@Spartanmatt
It depends wether they require new assets made, if it is just a dual choppa black orc unit or something like that, then i will make the necessary changes for the visual aspects of my mod to apply to that unit as well.

@IronHammer97
As it looks like right now, i will not be able to, i have other projects in the work right now that have been under way for a long time, and wether are not i get to finish 1 or more is still questionable, but at the release of Warhammer 2 most if not all of my focus will switch to Skaven.
Renan 17 Aug, 2017 @ 1:31pm 
can you do the same for grimgor?
Spartanmatt 5 Aug, 2017 @ 12:06pm 
SFO is receiving another big content update soon, which includes adding new units such as Black Orc Big'unz. Will you plan on reskinning that unit like you did with the Black Orc Shields?
Whiskeyjack 26 Jul, 2017 @ 12:19pm 
Ah, I get you. Cool beans, thanks man!
イアン uzo70  [author] 26 Jul, 2017 @ 12:13pm 
@Allan
I am using a slightly tweaked version of the Imperator FX preset on SweetFX,

@Ribbet666
No stats, no size, not tables have been touched, only textures and models, so fully compatible with Steel faith or other unit adding ones as long as they referring to the vanilla black orcs variantmesh definitions files :)

@Whiskeyjack
I was comming back to the game after a long while and my game kept crashing whenever I activated my mods, I tried to update one to see if it did anything, but as it turns out no, it just started working again after multiple restarts.
Whiskeyjack 26 Jul, 2017 @ 11:50am 
Hey イアン uzo70, can I ask what the latest update did?
wbsddgg 20 May, 2017 @ 5:33am 
Like the way you talk, 霓虹金。
Hawk 19 Apr, 2017 @ 1:30pm 
Nevermind, turns out the culprit was the unit card mods, this one is fine. Apologies!
Hawk 19 Apr, 2017 @ 1:03pm 
Hey love the mod, but noticed that my black orcs are tiny now, does this mod alter their size in anyway, as they are currently smaller than orc boys :P
Arazlam 8 Apr, 2017 @ 6:50pm 
Great Visual Mod! Love the fact the actually look like the table top units now :) Keep up the good work!, Just a few questions..Your description says it doesnt add units its just visual, but does it lock in or modifiy their stats at all? So, in other words is it fully compatiable with Overhaul mods like steel faith? Or a mod that say adds other black orc units like says dual weapons, or a sheild variant, aswell as the great weapon standard unit?
a tree 27 Mar, 2017 @ 6:55pm 
What graphics mods are you using? Those screenshots look amazing!
Ligma Bababooey 22 Mar, 2017 @ 9:34am 
full reskin of orcs could be epick , rest of the units look a bit dull
Raghen'hora 21 Mar, 2017 @ 8:26am 
I would never lead an army of greenskins anywhere except to a slaughterhouse or for some work into a mine... but seeing this blackorcs cut through my undead minions somewhat gives me joy... thank you.
Wander 18 Mar, 2017 @ 1:16pm 
Just downloaded it and works fine, must be some incompatibility with other mods
NNYLF 18 Mar, 2017 @ 9:01am 
I can´t open my game anymore HELP
NNYLF 18 Mar, 2017 @ 9:00am 
After i downloaded this mod my game crashed
BåGan 17 Mar, 2017 @ 11:32am 
Would you consider doing Grimgor Ironhide with the same blackness as these? Without touching stats or anything for max mod compability? Even tho I would love if you redid all the greenskins units ;-)

Amazing work!
$h@tty 13 Mar, 2017 @ 6:22am 
pls update! It doesnt work with the actual version of the game
Lucian 12 Mar, 2017 @ 8:47am 
Awesome mod,thanks.

@Qui-Gon Jinn
Ah good to hear :)

@跟他PY交易的人
Thanks!

@Olgierd von Everec
As far as my testing have gone i havn't seen any frame drop compared to vanilla.


@Whoreson Jr.
This is a quote of an answer i gave to the same question from some time ago:

"I do know the main reason they are called Black orcs is because of their darker skin colour, but ever since 7th edition the vast majority of black orcs have always been portrayed in black armour with white/bone-white markings, except for some special cases e.g. The Krimson Killerz.
In 6th edition they wore mostly just metal plating with few parts of the armour painted black e.g. a shoulder or the metal jaw. I have based these on the 7th and 8th edition black orcs :)"
Pish Posh 10 Mar, 2017 @ 2:46pm 
@whoreson Jr. According to the wiki:

"Named after their darker shade of green, their thick black-colored armor and their horrendously foul odor"

Schmerzbold 10 Mar, 2017 @ 5:04am 
Black Orks are called Black Orks because of their skin colour and not because of their armor...
HolyMolyOllyPoly 8 Mar, 2017 @ 7:28am 
Yeah, I don't get why CA made BLACK orcs' armour coloured red.
Мэйби Бэйби 8 Mar, 2017 @ 5:55am 
Does this affect FPS since more variations? Thank you
Pain 8 Mar, 2017 @ 2:00am 
so cool
SK5 7 Mar, 2017 @ 4:34am 
I got it to work, seems like i had to open the mod manager for it to register.
イアン uzo70  [author] 6 Mar, 2017 @ 4:31pm 
Qui-Gon Jinn
Have you tried to disable all mods except this one ?
SK5 6 Mar, 2017 @ 5:39am 
Doesnt seem to work sadly, really like the screenshots
Whiskeyjack 2 Mar, 2017 @ 10:53am 
@DC, you might like this mod. It's not a full reksin, it just darkens Grimgors armour, but it's something

イアン uzo70  [author] 1 Mar, 2017 @ 7:56am 
@DC
A Grimgor Reskin is propably the most requested thing on this mod, so he is on my list, but there are other projects taking up my time as of right now :(

@The Running Man
I did note your first message a month ago :P
The Running Man 28 Feb, 2017 @ 3:46pm 
PLEASE RESKIN ORK BOYZ AND BIG UNS!!!
walrus 28 Feb, 2017 @ 10:21am 
Grimgor is a black orc, why no love for Grimgor?
イアン uzo70  [author] 28 Feb, 2017 @ 8:50am 
Update:

-Updated to remove the "Out of date triangle"
Nigerian Prince 28 Feb, 2017 @ 4:32am 
Update for the new patch sir
Whiskeyjack 27 Feb, 2017 @ 8:16am 
cool! thanks for that man, looking forward to seeing what else you come up with! keep up the great work!
イアン uzo70  [author] 26 Feb, 2017 @ 5:20pm 
@Whiskeyjack
As of right now the Krimson Killaz have not been touched in anyway.

For your second question, i have wanted to make an alternate version where the white will use faction colours instead, but right now other projects take up my time :S
Whiskeyjack 26 Feb, 2017 @ 11:18am 
hey イアン uzo70, awesome mod man! can i ask, does this mod also affect the crimson killers? also, i was wondering is it somehow possible to replace the white accents on their armour with the base faction colours? what i mean is, Greenskin black orcs have red accents, Crooked moon black orcs have purple accents, etc. sorry if that sounds pedantic :P
イアン uzo70  [author] 22 Feb, 2017 @ 7:15pm 
@Thug*63
I asked around and it seems to work fine for everyone else in campaign, there must be some sort of conflict with another mod Do you have another black orc mod installed ? best way for you check out if it is another mod causing it to no work is to disable all other mods and test if they show up correctly in the campaign.
