Hydra Species

Description
The Hydras:

"Hydra are made malleable by the mutating power of Chaos. In addition, the Druchii have owned Hydra for countless years, creating new subspecies through the arts of crossbreeding and the casting of dark incantations."

This Mod currently adds 3 new subspecies of Hydra for you to sink your teeth into, I have ideas for possibly 2 more and a Beastmaster Apprentices unit.

This mod was made as a part of the January 2021 Modding Jam, this one was themed around elves.

Meet the Cast:

Veteran Hydra "The Claws of Khaine"
  • Powerful Fire Breath
  • Chameleon Skinned
  • Loyal Guardian
  • Battle Hardened

Royal Hydra "Malekith's Chosen"
  • Acid Breath
  • Acid Blood
  • Bone Protrusions
  • Mentally Scarred

Spellthirster "Rakarth's Vendetta"
  • Magically Infused Breath
  • Daerlythe’s Aura
  • Chosen of the Convent
  • Stunted Regeneration

Availability

Each unit is capped but further caps can be gained via the "Titanic Beasts" Skill for High Beastmasters which provides +1 Cap for each variant of these Hydras.

Rakarth has a more potent version of this, his "Breeding Programmes" skill provides +1 cap for each variant aside from Veteran Hydras who get +2.

Rakarths Innate Trait "Beastlord" Also provides +1 Cap for Spellthirsters.
  • Veteran Hydra - Recruited from T2 Beasts Chain +0 Cap
  • Veteran Hydra - Recruited from The Lairs of Clar Karond Landmark +3 Cap
  • Veteran Hydra - Forsaken Port of Nagronath +1 Cap
  • Royal Hydra - Recruited from The Black Tower of Malekith +3 Cap
  • Spellthirster - Recruited from The Lairs of Clar Karond Landmark +1 Cap
  • Spellthirster - Recruited from Forsaken Port of Nagronath

  • TTC (Tabletop Caps) Supported
  • CTT Support Here
  • SFO Submod Here

I do plan to, just got a lot on my plate at the moment, including porting the Nagash mod.

No these are only available to Dark Elves

Can't tell from reading the info on the page, but are these hydras by chance recruitable by Chaos? If capturing settlements increase counts, is it possible that using a Chaos settlement mod would add these to the Chaos roster

You need to do a tutorial on Screenshots. Best Screenshots I've ever seen on Warhammer!!
