Khorne's Primal Units

Description
Adds 3 new units to Khorne's roster: Apemen of Khorne, the Skullgor, and the Forgebeast.

Apemen of Khorne
While weaker than Khorne's other monstrous infantry, they have the Dazed contact effect, which lowers enemy speed and melee defense. They offer more of a supporting role in Khorne's armies, able to debuff enemies to help your frontlines or to hold faster targets in place for your other units.
Benefit from buffs to Minotaurs of Khorne. Recruitable from the T3 Warhounds building.
Inspired by this wiki article: https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Apemen

Skullgor
Cygors hunger for the souls of wizards, which make them a useful tool in Khorne's armies. Skullgors are Cygors blessed with the Mark of Khorne, twisted into a form most pleasing to the Lord of Skulls. They are stronger in melee, with frenzy and increased armor, but have less ammo and pitiful melee defense. While Khorne detests ranged combat, he is willing to make an exception for beasts that throw giant explosive skulls at the enemy. The Skullgor has increased move speed and regenerates ammo in melee combat, allowing them to rush in to the fray to collect more skulls.
Benefit from buffs to Skullcannons and non-daemonic ranged units. Recruitable from the T4 Minotaurs of Khorne building.
(Note: Despite being blessed with two eye sockets rather than one, the lack of actual eyes in them doesn't make them any more accurate)

Forgebeast
Forgebeasts are the big brother to the Juggernaut. Born from Khorne's Daemon forges, they are right at home in the midst of enemy infantry, cleaving them apart with little regard for armor. Fueled by violence, they are able to release excess energy in the form of a murderous frenzy, turning into a vortex of whirling death.
Benefit from buffs to Soul Grinders of Khorne. Recruitable from the T5 Soul Grinder building.

Should be compatible with most things since it's just a unit mod, no plans to make a SFO/Radious version at the moment.
If you want to make a submod for this for some reason feel free, just credit the original mod in the description.

Known Issues
-Some of the Forgebeast's textures might look a little wonky. This is because the Asset Editor decided to wash out any textures I imported for some reason. I don't know why this happened, and frankly I've wasted too much time messing with it.
-Other than that, balance might be a bit wonky

Thanks to The Modding Den Discord[discord.gg] for their help. I never asked anything directly, however, I probably never would have made this without scouring through messages looking for help.
Additional thanks to Blind Leading the Colorblind for their modding tutorials.
h3ro for his Asset Editor tool.

nurgle has one but none others do
so it should be fair to give the rest giants as a ror at least

This didn't need to be updated for the patch if you were wondering, I just updated a couple tables (mainly for neatness on my part).

Updated for Chorfs finally!
Changes:
-updated the Forgebeast anims for the new patch
-gave apemen of khorne woodsman, since they're beastmen after all (credit to ICEMAN SLIM for pointing this out to me)
Any future updates to this will probably be maintenance. Thank you all for subscribing to this mod!

@jenosite Yeah sure, go ahead

I was trying to come up with a way to create Khorne units based around both the Cygor and Ghoritch, but it seems you beat me to it! These are great models, excellent work!

Can I use your apeman modeling? Of course I will leave your credit.
