Description
Steam Tanks. Those glorious machines belching smoke and ramming through the hordes of filthy heretics, blasting out cannonballs and scalding steam. But have you ever felt there's something missing? That there's something lifeless about tanks that all looked like they were built by robots to look identical? After all, in WHFB there were only twelve Steam Tanks in the entire Empire, and only eight of those are still running. Each one should be unique and have character, right? Well, you're in luck, because that's exactly what this mod does. The aim is to make as many Steam Tanks as possible stand out from the crowd.

Description
This mod adds the following Steam Tanks, available for the Empire:
  • Von Zeppel's
    No main armament, but several riders with varied weapons standing on its deck.
  • Kathleen (Half Tank)
    A half-sized tank for use by Halflings. The soup cannon's been detached (see OvN's Halflings for that).
  • Patriarch's Storm
    Shiny gold chassis and a Helstorm Rocket Battery.
  • Sigmar's Hammer
    A purely melee Steam Tank. No turret, no main armament.
  • Invincible
    Normal Steam Cannon, but no turret.
  • Implacable
    Open-topped with a mortar upfront, and a couple riders with repeater rifles.
  • Deliverance
    Flame Cannon and normal Steam Turret.
  • Alter Kamerad
    Helblaster Volley Gun for it's main armament, and a normal Steam Turret.
  • Emperors's Wrath
    Vanilla Emperor's Wrath. Note that the "regular" Steam Tank is now Wissenland's Elector Count State Troop. You can also recruit normal steam tanks in the normal way. Just gonna sneak that tidbit in here...

The unique Steam Tanks are unlocked via a new "Steam Tank Workshop" where you'll need to spent prestige (or schematics or essays), gold, and have access to certain trade resources.

For Wulfhart and Volkmar, they are unlocked by the same system, but it's slightly different since they can't get Prestige. For Wulfhart, he gets access to them as he gains Acclaim, and for Volkmar, as he seals the Books of Nagash. Under this system, Acclaim and BoNs act as thresholds rather than a currency you spend.

Generals of the Empire and Boris Todbringer have been given Steam Tanks as mounts. Volkmar has been given a very special War Altar Steam Tank mount.

As a bonus, the Skaven have also been given a RoR - the Rat Tank - available at level 22. It's about what you'd expect, warp lightning for both it's main gun and turret. And Kislev has been given a RoR tank as well, The Tzarina's Fury, available at level 26. Lend-leased from the Empire, it's got skis and the Strider attribute.

Submods and Compatibility

Vandy's Mod Configuration Tool can be used to disable the Rat Tank or to disable normal Steam Tank recruitment.

Future/Known Bugs
Balance suggestions are always welcome.

Weirdness with Volkmar on his tank.

Kathleen has no death model it just freezes. Every death model except the emperors wrath switches to new model with messed up textures. Minus Kathleen of course. Hopefully that's everything to point out. Keep up the great work!

Good update! Emperor's wrath update fixed as a unit. It's porthole seems busted still but thats tiny. Mounts are still an issue but thats known. I let a couple of them... ok so a few of the tanks got destroyed and uh their dead models are messed up like the mounts are. Are there plans to update the rest of the tanks to using the new turret guns and updated models with the new cannons?

yeah emperors wrath is missing a commander of some type, and only the steam cannon works. The steam tank mount fires the rifle and steam cannon but not the actual cannon probably because the base tanks were changed to have new turrets and cannons.

Animations of tanks for lords have weird animations of map, also Emperors Wrath steam tank is completely broken.

Elspeth workshop is still unable to be clicked on(blanked out) even after having 750 schematics in reserve or spent

Boris's steam tank is kind of messed up. Texture wise and maybe something more i'm not sure.

On the campaign map the generals/lord steam tank is out of whack weird animations and once you get the steam tank you can't select a different mount

I'm having same the problem as grimnar42600. The Emprerors Wrath steam tank has no commander.

Any possibility of getting Kathleen back to her full power since OvN hasn't and presumably won't for a long while have a halfling mod available for TW3?
