Installation:
-Make sure you have a Mods folder in your GameAssets file.
-So you would have Steam\steamapps\common\Dawn of War II - Retribution\GameAssets\Mods
-Download KriegMod.sga from link provided.
-Drop KriegMod.sga into your Mods folder.
-Launch game, go into your army painter. If your normal imperial guard models are swapped with the ones from the Krieg DLC, then you have installed the mod properly.

Trivia:

Why did I make this mod?
Well I reinstalled DOWII Retribution because I saw https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=794231666 Yes someone else had made a Krieg skin swap for campaign before. However his damn download link doesn't work!! Man that was a frustrating experience.

I had never made a mod before in this game, but I tried using two tools called SGA reader and SGA archiver. Thanks to these basic tools, I have been able to make this mod. I wanted to share this mod to those out there who might be interested. Although the game is 8 years old by now, it is still very fun!

Side effects:
The original Death Korps of Krieg DLC skin for multiplayer had a Krieg Grenadier model, however they didn't use it for Stormtroopers model. I don't get this decision, they had an awesome model laying around!

So I gave the Krieg Grenadier model to Stormtroopers, Guardsman Sergeants, Sergeant Merrick (The guy from the campaign).

Also you can change the colour of the models for multiplayer, this was not intended but there you go!

Limitations:
-I can't reskin Ogryns, however it shouldn't affect their aesthetics too much as the DLC just gave them gas masks.
-I don't know how to reskin the Inquisitor, sorry for those who want to use her Krieg DLC model!

Conclusions:
-So far nothing seems out of place, however if you guys find something wrong with the mod. Please comment on the mod page and tell me! If anything happens like the download link not working or some models out of place, I will try to fix it.

This was really helpful, although playing on Skirmish is easier than doing it on the campaign, still very helpful.

Good day comrade!
For some reason the Krieg are all pink, except for some of their clothes.
Would you please tell me if I did something wrong?
Thank you in advance!

You create your own "Mods" folder. modsampless is not the same

Сделал всё по инструкции но не получилось. Вместо папки "моды" у меня "модсаплес".
I did everything according to the instructions but it did not work. Instead of the "mods" folder, I have "modsapless".

Loving this mod! Any advice on "duplicating" it for other factions? I have been tinkering around with SGA reader and SGA archiver using this mod as a template to try and utilize the word bearers DLC skins in campaign, but haven't had any success. Cheers!
