Mods for changing hero and/or unit types to match the in game art?
I've spent some time searching here, on mod nexus, and elsewhere on the internet in general, and I havn't come across what I'm looking for. I was hoping some of you fine folks could point me in the right direction.

Specifically I'm looking for a mod that either changes existing heroes, or adds new heroes to the game, that match what their in game art suggests. For example, High Protector Toth Istvanka is a Vaulter hero and in her character art she's wielding an axe and shield. Her Hero Type in the game is ranged however, and she uses bows or crossbows. Ipsa Wacha and Soyala Tocho are some more examples of heroes, in this case from the Wild Walkers faction, that have art with sword or spear wielding characters for ranged Hero Type units. This stuff happens all over the place, and quite frankly it drives me a little nuts. Aside from soothing my OCD though, I think it would add some interesting unit diversity to a lot of the factions if there was a mod with this kind of "fix." Bonus points of there's a mod that adds heroes from the minor factions beyond the Sisters of Mercy and Haunts.

I'm also on the look out for a mod that does this for regular unit types, although this is much less of a problem in general. Dawn Officers and Seekers are CLEARLY Infantry, not Cavalry. I get that these choices are made for faction balance reasons, and there's a little bit of fluff in there about power armor and bursts of speed that allow them to function in the cavalry role, but this is still a little bothersome to me, if less so than the heroes.

Lastly, if no such mods exist, is there a relatively easy was of ripping off my waranty sticker and making these "fixes" myself? I've never modded anything in my life, but I'm not afraid of unzipping .bin files and editing lines of text if that's all it would take. If it's more advanced than that any tips and suggestions for doing this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
