Greener Greenskins

Description
Makes Greenskins closer to tabletop/lore appearance, with much more vivid green skin and with intense red eyes. Uses Dryrain's Greenskin Reskin as a base, but does not yet require it to function.

I love Greenskins, playing them, fighting them, killing them. Is there anything more COMFY than sipping your coffee, huddled in your blanket on your winter day off, while you mow these green thugs down en masse with arrow and shot? Now Orcs and Goblins have more of that more pulpy, high fantasy saturated color vibe they had going on in the old Games Workshop artwork and which they still had in the tabletop!

Specifically all the Orc Boyz got a fresh coat of WAAAAAGH! Green, they no longer have that realistic, mottled shade of green going on. Goblins got some fresh paint too, with Forest Goblins being the brightest green.

Savage Orcs have richer green hues and more demonic red eyes of course, but they are still distinctly darker green than their civilized kin just like with their vanilla textures, owing to being sun baked lunkheads.

All Legendary Lords got a touch up, Azhag you can barely tell since he had exactly one piece of green flesh exposed, Wurrzag was already pretty damn green and now he's slightly more so, Skarsnik is a little bit more vivid green and his eyes stand out more, and Grimgor is a super dark green, as all orcs forged by the Dawi Zharr should be. Grom the Paunch is no longer so yellow as well.

All generic Lords and Heroes have also been touched with the green brush.

Hopefully this dehumanizes the lovable green demons even more, and you can feel a greater sense of satisfaction when you notice their bright colored corpses cover the battlefield! WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Great thanks to Dryrain for his hard work of doing the initial reskin, as well as Cataph and Lost2Insanity without whose input this mod would not have been completed, as simple as it is, I ran into a mountain of problems with saving and compressions and it was pure, exhausting madness!

Future plans include proper Uniforms and Heraldry Compatibility. Also a sub-mod for glowing red eyes on Black Orcs, because that's a damn cool look, I just haven't got it right yet.

Compatible with Expanded Greenskin Roster units, not fully compatible with Uniforms and Heraldry.

FOR DRYRAIN COMPATIBILITY right now, the only solution is just to subscribe to his individual race mods that were in Compilation IV (which had Greenskins in it) if you want this mod and his redone Norsca at the same time for example. I tried very hard for a cleaner solution but by the moment, it is not to be.

Fine thank you. I personally just load the mod before Dryrain's stuff using Kaedrin's Mod Manager, other than that, no I haven't rooted around in the files to make it completely compatible.

Hi GunKing ! How are you ? :)
Did you find a way to make it work with Dryrain mod ? :)

@GunKing Thank you for such a quick response, I did just that and I can confirm I have green Boys and helmets on the Black Orks! Time for some Krumping I think. Thanks again! :)

Thanks! I would check out the Uniforms and Heraldry version of this mod, you must have this one inactive if you sub for that one, and then be subscribed to the main Greenskins Uniforms and Heraldry. That one I believe utilizes full helmets for Black Orcs.

I'm a big fan of this mod, it really makes playing against Greenskins all the more Greener so better. Is there any possibility though of adding a submod that keeps the helmets on for Black Orks as I'm a fan of how armoured they are. Many thanks again!

Thanks for the comment. I would try disabling Dryrain's Reskin mod, especially if it's the main Greenskin one or one of his compilations featuring it, there is probably a clash between the two happening.

Hi GunKing ! I have a little issue : orcs with greener effect have only a greener head (rest of the body keeps its vanilla color), so it's a bit weird (I only use Dryrain reskin mod). ^^'

Thanks for the comment. I updated again, hopefully it reads as such in the launcher.

mod works fine just in the launcher for me it says out of date.
