Bomb Rats - Vaulted [Will Not Be Updated]

Description
This was made for the Da Modding Den’s, Mod Jam Extraordinaire
https://tw-modding.com/mod-jam/

Description

This mods adds a new unit to all Skaven factions, Bomb Rats, this little known unit comes from the deep depths of the online magazine The Black Gobbo the online counter part to the infamous White Dwarf magazine.

In game you will find two variants of this unit:
A standard recruitable unit that can be found at the second level of the Skaven Warpforge chain.
A summoned version with a unique ability that can be unlocked via the skill trees of various characters.
- Queek
- Ikit
- Tretch
- Warlord
- Master Engineer
- Warlock Engineer

So, what does a Bomb Rat do? Well it's Giant Rat with a satchel charge strapped to its back :P, i think you get the picture.

Compatibility

Despite it being a unit mod it should be fairly compatible with most overhauls, i'd imagine so anyway considering this unit will not be staying in any prolonged engagements.

Big thanks to:

Dindi for re-rigging the rat model and all the additional help he gave me during the making of this mod.
ChaosRobie for his animation work on the on-death explosion!

I wont be updating this mod any longer, i wont be deleting it either. So it's going in the Vault as a little memento for my first ever Mod Jam.

Apologies for those who were still using this mod, life happens and im trying to reduce my modding commitments.

yeah that would be good ikit who can use magic is able to and throt cant uses magic so makes more sense for him to focus on summons

hmm i can add them to Throt, probably wont add them to packmasters as they already get a whole bunch of summons.

@JvJ can you add this summon to packmasters and throt

Mod update!

Bomb Rats have had a overhaul unit wise they are much weaker, smaller numbers and have had their speed matched ChaosRobies Giant Rats.

The Bomb:

Okay thanks to ChaosRobie the rats now have explosive on death animations, this on death explosion is scaled by MA and WS so the rats have a hidden passive that amps those stats when in melee.

Ka-booom! still booms just as boomy as before but now instead of being instantly detonated on contact, the fuse will only be lit once the unit is under 25% health.

Visual Changes:

New Unit Card because the old one was seriously washed out, still not 100% happy with this one but whatever.

Do I need an overhaul mod for this to work?

Theoretically this should be sfo compatible since they just run in and explode without actually fighting. They may do a bit less damage and be a bit squishier than they should be with SFO active but considering they're free summons that's not really a bad thing

Sorry to be a bother, but does this mod seems to make Trolls suicide explode.
