Imperial Guard

Updated for the Silence & the Fury 28/07/2021

Welcome everyone!
This is the Warhammer 2 Version of my Imperial Guard mod. This mod adds the "Imperial Guard" unit to the Empire faction. I wanted to make this unit for a long time. It is how i imagine a fictional imperial guard regiment for the empire would look like. It is not based on any lore material, however i did try to fit it into the lore as good as possible.
There will also be a mounted version in the future however as they do have customized textures and i want to do the same for their horses it will still take some time to finish them.

I hope you enjoy this mod but i welcome any constructive feedback so that i know what's good and where things could be improved.



This mod adds a new unit to the Empire of Man:

Imperial Guard

"The Imperial Guard of Reikland is recruited directly from the most elite knights of the Reiksguard Order. They only leave their garrison at Altdorf during the most dire times and usually serve as bodyguard to their emperor in great battles however there are some known cases when the emperor sent them to fight alongside another army as a sign of his personal support. Their ornamented armour and blood red capes can easily be spotted on the battlefield and serve as a beacon of inspiration to nearby troops. "
