Ulfhednar Berserkers

DISCLAIMER: Before subbing to this please DO take vision of the known issues section.

This mod adds six new berserk themed units for the Norscan Factions and Chaos, respectively:
-Ulfhednar Berserkers
-Ulfhednar Berserkers (Great Weapons)
-Wolf Guard
-Ulfhednar Berserkers Champions
-Ulfhednar Berserkers Champions (Great Weapons)
-Wolf Guard Champions

They are all available through the following building chains:
-Main Norscan Military chain
-Norscan Outpost Military chain
-Skeggi Hall chain
-Main Horde Chaos Marauders chain

Except for the Wolf Guard units which are a bit tankier, they are pretty much anti-infantry/damage dealers units and they should be used as such.
They are not glass cannons by any means but they are not super tanky either.

Ok, presentation over: let's dive into the technical stuff!

*BALANCE*

As always: I tried my best to not make them too broken.
Keep in mind that I have tested them in custom battles only though.
That means that I'm not taking into account Lord's Campaign Bonuses.
If you have suggestions for possible buffs or nerfs let me know down in the comment section!
I'm open to changes!
NOTICE: The units' stats screenshot was taken with the unit size setting set to large, so expect more HP and unit models if you are playing on Ultra.

*COMPATIBILITY*

As far as I know this mod works with pretty much everything that do not mess too much with vanilla units.
I'm playing the game with 100+ different mods and everything is working fine!
The mod is NOT save compatible.
If you want these Ulfhednar Berserkers in your campaign you'll have to start a new one.

*KNOWN ISSUES*

-Minor textureless spot between the berserker's head and torso, nothing really tragic in my opinion.

*UPDATES POLICY*

Let me be straight with you...when the mod status change from updated to outdated....if you start to spam in the comment section things like "update pls, OMG UPDATE, can we have an update my good sir?, UpDaTe!1!1!1" and similar stuff....know that https://media.giphy.com/media/e3URFlLQywEPC/giphy.gif


...But jokes aside: please don't do that.
When it becomes necessary, and when I can, I will update my stuff, do not worry.

*QA*
-"SFO?"
As a matter of fact I'm officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.

-"Sooo...uh...Is this lore friendly by any chance?"
No.
There Is an old and obscure precedent in the 1993's Man O' War Sea of Blood Rulebook about Norscan "Wolf Warriors" known as "Ulfwerener" who were able to transform into half-man/half-wolf but It was never explained if they were in fact just Skin Wolves communities or full half-breeds.
Plus, this Is not the case for my units: these guys are Humans.
Regarding the name that I did use: Ulfhednar are really similar to Berserkir and they are both part of the Norse History and Mythology.

And that's all I guess!
Credits time!

Thanks to Thom https://steamcommunity.com/id/toughtred for his help with the new models, please support his works now and in future https://steamcommunity.com/id/toughtred/myworkshopfiles/
Any of this would not have been possible without Frodo45127's RPFM which is still updated to this very day, thank you!
I would also like to thank Sebidee and Caligula for their great modding guides!
And I would like to thank you!
Whatever you liked my mod or not thanks a bunch for giving it a try!

-Summer communication: Just wanted to tell you that since we are now in the Summer season I'm probably going to make less big unit mods like this one and more small stuff like recolour mods and submods.
Have a nice Summer!

Let's be brutally honest now: there are countless modders that are WAY more talented than me and that would deserve your money more than me.
That said, If you have grown to like my works so much to the point that you want to express your appreciation or just put a smile on my face...well: I will not stop you ;) .
You have my gratitude for all the support you can throw at me, independently by the donation's sum: you are all equals to me and I do thank you all.
From my part I can assure you that your donations will not be wasted, in fact I would mainly use them to:
-complete the Total War Warhammer DLC collection and thus expand my modding possibilities
-speed up my Warhammer 3 preorder
-PC related things
