Please have this also affect the Tempestus scions. I want that unit to actually feel GOOD! Just give them Tempestus 12-18 as well because right now these guardsmen do more damage and live longer than the elite Tempestus Scions

I dont believe this works in the current version?

Does this mod also effect the tempetus scions? if not then I'd suggest it work on them as well.

Oh I'm aware, this is like one of three mods that do the exact same thing but scaled up with each iteration.
This is the exagerated version basically. I think. It's been a while, I don't remember much...

I love the Astra Militarum but guardsmen are overpowered in this mod

Fix bayonets, but don't turn off the artillery

NOW THIS IS THE TRUE GUARDSMEN EXPERIENCE!!

It's been a long time since I last modded this game, I'm not sure I can be of much help tbh.
Add me on Steam in the meantime if you want.

if i have questions could i contact you? maybe use vc with discord?

Hey Grim_Reaper, I can give you the link of the guide I used to make this mod, it'll definitely help you better than my explaining skills:

hi i am looking for someone to help/teach me to make a mod for Mechanicus.
would you be willing to help seeing you already made a great and good working mod.

loll I'll be here c:

Ok thank you cya in 3 years

lol, don't stress over it dude, life waits for no one and we can understand that. Take as much time as you need.

I'm hoping I can use my next day off to pick this up again and relearn what the fffbruh I did with this mod back then, because I sure as hell can barely remember inputting some numbers while trying to guess the unit spacing or some shit lmao.

"You can now change the health of the Guardsman unit to whatever you want it to be. I suggest setting it to 10, and seeing how that affects your game. Since this game uses a "Squad" system, all unit attributes tend to be multiplied by the size of the squad. Since Guardsmen come in squads of 8, setting the hitpointsMax string to 10 will mean Guardsmen squads in-game will have 80 total health."

IF I were to make squads "purely aesthetically-speaking" bigger, I'd have to edit several parametres like individual hp and lasgun damage.
The only reason why I'm not yet picking this mod up is that I'm still going through 10-hour workshifts (with no apparent end to it yet) and I can only dedicate so much focus to even a basic modding project when my heavily-public relations job drains most of it really.

It's just not how it works as far as I know. If there are 30 guardsmen shown, the unit has thirty guardsmen. The way you'd get them to be purely aesthetic, to the best of my knowledge, would be to model, rig and animate an entire group of guardsmen.

I concur with Seras, would be great if there was a version that only provided an aesthetic change. My friends in multiplayer don't appreciate when I slice through their units like a chainsword through grox steak.

average Astra Militarum enjoyer chad

If you go through the files and you edit the stats of guardsmen you can lower the health of each individual guardsman and then increase their numbers

Could there be a variant which was visual only?
I would like to have huge groups of guardsmen who are still weak like the vanilla version

Even with this the line is still breaking oh, well it's time to pull out the artillery

I did project, two actually...neither are the best but you know, they are out there

of course make sure that's in the discription that you want people to do this as well.

Just in case, anybody willing to do this exact same project - please do.
I'd rather not have people wait for me when it's just a matter of editing a few text files.

that's fair.

An all-in-one mod would limit the choice of each player. I initially made this mod specifically because I wanted to alter only the Astra Militarum, plus if I modified vanilla and DLC units together in the same mod I'd lock out a lot of people who are not interested or can't get the DLCs.

I see that's possible and the like. though a all in one mod for both vinilla squads and DLC ones will be easy to maintain and all and should not take to much time for it to work i think?

>"Can't other factions also increase the mod army size?"
If you're asking for me to increase squad sizes for the other factions, then yeah I can but currently I am unable to dedicate time and focus to any project.

I'm considering dropping these 3 mods and marking them as obsolete, then releasing new ones for each faction with one or more alternate variants each (for example a vanilla squads mod and a DLC squad mod), if that makes any sense.

Can't other factions also increase the mod army size?

Increase heavy weapon teams's numbers too?

now this is classy :D i approve of this shit man :D though did you check out the others including the mainstay's of each like the tau fire warriors, the sluggahs and shoota boys the chaos cultists etc though one could say is it possible to bump up the numbers of all infantry of all factions and is it possible to pull that off with tanks and all or a select veachles like the sentinels the bikes and all?

@aannkklles, Thank you for the praise, it means a lot. I'm glad I could help make your game play experience better :)

@CLOBBER-BARON [BM/M], thank you for advice there, that makes my life MUCH MUCH easier

@War Criminal....I am speechless....good work! I really appreciate it. I am just coming back to this game since these mods came out. With a new Gigantic map mod as well I can play some pretty tough games against the AI. Also the new faction mods like The Imperium and specialized Space Marine Chapters, really bring this game back to life for me. Plus the new DLC and constant game upgrades by the Devs themselves combine to make this the best 4X Warhammer 40K game out there for me! Thanks guys!

Okay so that's most of the ones I was gonna cover. Personally I'd rather you didn't take down your mod, I'll just make mine as an alternate version tbh. I'm (was?) gonna cover guardsmen, bullgryns, wyrdvane psykers, (maybe) heavy weapon squads, tempestus scions, scout sentinels, marauder bombers and thunderbolts.

>"I had to experment with size, so the scaling is WWWAAAAYY off"
You can edit the distance between individual soldiers/vehicles rather than the actual model's size. The parametres are called memberDeltaX and memberDeltaY.

I had to experment with size, so the scaling is WWWAAAAYY off

OH, and the Bulgrins to six, as well as the Thunder bolts to 3, havent tested the thunderbolts though

yes, I did. I tweaked the sentinals to 3, the guardsmen to 20, I added two basilisks to the basilisk unit, added some more to the tempestus scions and made the psykers up to 7

>"sooooo"
That's great actually, I'm glad you did! Did you edit more than just the guardsmen? Since you finished yours before I could, I'd settle for taking down mine or at least tweaking my mods so that they compliment yours rather than overlapping/replacing it.

sooooo.......I figured out how to work life.........I created my own mod, CLOBBER, if you want me to take it down because you were already making a mod like it then let me know and I'll do so. cant guarantee my quickness in doing so, but I will if you insist.

A Discord channel would be great! I like your last comment concerning Sentinels and air craft. Thanks!

Then I'll stick to Sentinels and maybe air vehicles for now

yeah. it also has to be considered, that changing too much will make playing the IG too easy.

Considering making a Discord so I can discuss this more face-to-face with anybody who'd want it, but then again it's just a matter of changing a textfile's numbers so I'm not that important lmao.

In all seriousness now, for full customizability I could make 3 "vanilla only" versions and 3 "vanilla + DLC" versions so that it's less cluttered for you guys, meaning you only need to choose one of them rather than subbing to multiple ones.

As for vehicles, I could start with just Sentinels and then maybe add more depending on requests.

I would just put those together, too... but hey if you're willing to go for full customizability, why not?

on vehicles... not so sure. I mean: sentinels, yes.
but aside from that, I can only really imagine it making sense for air.

Do you guys want increased squad sizes for vehicles as well? Should I do that in the same package instead of making two separate ones ("footmen edition" and "full package edition")?

And also, DLC units: how do I treat them? Same package as vanilla ones or a separate thingy for a broader spectrum of choice?

Thanks in advance for your input!

thanks. that would be great.

Okay so you want 3 more EM(+)(++) but this time with all squad types increased in size, I'll gladly do that. I'll try and find some time this evening (currently 15:42) just for that :^)
