The Ice Army - New Ice Guard Units for Kislev

This mod expands the Ice Guard of Kislev to include more types of units beyond ranged hybrid infantry. Included are 7 different units, consisting of 4 melee infantry ones, two cavalry variants and of course, being Kislev, the Ice Guard equivalent of Bear Riders. Together with in-game variants, they form the basics of a mediumly armoured force with Frostbite and Magical Attacks across the board. While considered elite units all, they are not meant to outfight every single enemy on their own. All are available in Custom Battle. In campaign, they can be recruited from 3 different buildings: the Bokha Palace in Kislev, the standard Ice Guard recruitment buildings and the Frosthome of Erengrad. Now to the roster:

"Initiates are those in the Ice Guard that have not yet completed their training. So far they have only learned to fight in a relatively standard fashion."

"Initiates are those in the Ice Guard that have not yet completed their training. These fight, like many, in a shieldwall of spears."

"These initiates have been trained to fight with magical ice maces. They fight on the frontlines to hinder the Chaos stampede."

"Mobility is essential in warfare and this is recognized in the Ice Guard. Some of their number are trained to provide mounted ranged support to others of their number."

"The Enforcers run down the enemies of the Ice Court with brutal precision. The Tzarina demands nothing less."

"Hand-picked by the Tzarina herself, the Ice Guard Champions form her elite bodyguards, riding into battle on ferocious bears."

"Forming an elite core within the Ice Guard, the Protectors are the strongest and biggest of their kinswomen. They serve as heroic inspirations to them and as a last line of defense for the Motherland."

NOTE: I have not yet field-tested them for balance out in campaign. As for their stats I've done them to be comparable but still different to regular units. For the Champions for instance, I compensated the loss of armour (compared to regular Bear Riders) with higher health, more leadership and slightly more weapon damage. Im hoping those of you who choose to download this would be kind enough to provide second opinions if some other changes are needed. Im more than willing to change around some stuff if you think its necessary.
