The issue I been having with Nurgle is design space. I may have an idea now, but I'm doing other things at the moment.

no father nurgle as a chaos lord thats lame

Love the mod. Thanks!

@replanttrees
It doesn't make sense to do that since Soul Bleeding only works on those that are Bleed Immune, and otherwise, is the EXACT same as bleeding unlike Ghostfire and Burning where Ghostfire is quite different from burning.

Like the mod and I understand that it is inspired by warhammer 40k.

I do have a question though. Is it not possible to make soul bleeding replace bleeding overall on the battlefield, in a similar way to cleansing flame and burning? If it is doable, it would be mechanically cool and thematic, after all Khorne does not care from where the blood flows.

UPDATE(8/5/25)
-[Overall]-
>Hero Skills Removed

-[Tome of the Blood Cult]-
Bloodletters
>Updated for Single Shots

thanks you

yes

Hi, I wanted to know if it is compatible with the Ogre update : is it ?

Yes, that is intended.

Hello !
I was wondering if the 'Blood Transfusion' was supposed to be affected by line of sight rules ?
As it is a 3 action ability and most of those abilities for other battle mages are 'Always hit'.
I just wanted to make sure and i'm fine with it, if it was intended !

WIP

Love to see this updated! Any chance you're gonna be adding nurgle too?

Bloodletter screenshot updated

Bloodletter screenshot has been removed for being extremely outdated. New screenshots will be made this week

Emergency Patch(3/23/25)
>FPS Issue Fixed
>All units are compatible with the unit makeover mods

@Felix It's working on my end so not sure what to say/do,

getting an endless loading screen on start-up when this mod is enabled and idk why.

These are excellent! Thanks so much for your wonderful work.

Update(2/18/25)
>Tome of Fateweaver
SPI oversight has been fixed

Tome of Excess
>Chamber of Hedonism
SPI now appears

All of them are fine there. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the race I'm picking because I played a game yesterday and suddenly fateweaver was working normally despite me not changing anything :x

How do they look in the encyclopedia?

Do the fateweaver and the slaanesh unit have a bugged/invisible model for anyone else, or is this some sort of mod conflict? I've tried shifting the mod order around but nothing seems to fix it. The Khorne unit works fine so idk

Will there be a tome of pluage (or similar as well) to represent nurgle? since the the other chaos gods are represented?

Ill add it to the buglist

Tome of the Fateweaver's Cult of the Fateless special structure seems to cost an arm and a leg. 440g 1300p in my game. Seems like the other cults are priced around 170g 450p so this seems to be an oversight.

Ill log it in the buglist

Hello! I haven't done extensive testing, but it appears the chamber of hedonism doesn't appear as an SPI in the build queue after unlocking. I have only tested as Reaver culture so far.

Astral Spawn. is that you again?

Update(11/21/24)
Astral Spawn has been fixed

Viewing the astral spawn from the encyclopedia, it seems to have a few abilities / traits that no longer work and are labelled as "this unit as deprecated"

Tome of the Fateweaver
>Astral Spawn's fix has been redone.

Sorry, I checked it worked but since I was logged in, it didn't ask me for permission. The image was just a battle report after I defeated the army with the Astral Spawn, so it wasn't that important. At least you could check your mod without needing it, and so, thanks for the work!

@volthe92 It seems my astral spawn fix was somehow undone. Next update will include the fix again.

Side note: Your link says I need permission.

It is in a default army protecting a Quarry. I am playing Eternal Court and some of the armies guarding resource nodes have Astral Spawns. I just started a game to go for an achievement and test a bunch of mods, then this started happening. I thought it might be the mod that changes AI, but when I checked here and found it is or was a known issue, I second guessed it. Image below of the quarry and army defeated.

@volthe92
Where did you fight the Astral Spawn?

I have the Astral Spawn attacking its allies "bug" still happening. Has it been fixed and my other mods make it still bug out, or is it still WIP?

@Conquistador
By the way, I have screenshotted your concern w/ the playtester group to discuss it so don't think you expressing your concern was for naught :D

And in case it sounded dismissive earlier, I was just seeking to dig into your head for more info, so you're "too jack-of-all-trades" comment was particularly helpful ^^

I think maybe Bloodletters felt so strong because of the build + other tome mods I was using. I still think they're a little too jack-of-all-trades in that they feel like a shock unit with their ability to charge lines of infantry, do a sweep, then have a 3-hit attack on the next turn, all while being very tanky and surprisingly high damage output. If they were tier 4 units I feel it would be appropriate, but it's possible I am just being hasty in my judgment.

@Conquistador
No Counter: If by this, you mean the Soul Bleed, without it, there are too many counters as a lot of things have bleeding immunity and is actually akin to poison with how many counters there are. I have been thinking on removing the fortune/misfortune effect, but besides that, only the Transfusion ability is widely applicable. Soul Bleed *only* works on the bleed-immune foes.

As for the Bloodletters, its a drafted T3 unit in a T3 tome, and I wasn't interested in bumping it to T4, so I sought to make it a T3.5 similar to Exemplar who feels like a T4.5.

It's also a Fighter unit which has no advantages. Its Cleave is meant for engagement which is why it has momentum, and why it's on a 2 turn cooldown instead of 1 like Warbreeds. Do you think the damage is too high or do you think it removing retaliations, by itself, is broken? Is the cleave the only reason you feel it's the best melee unit in the game?

I remember the old versions of these and am trying them now. My god, Blood Cult absurdly strong. The enchantment is overly broad, powerful, and has no counter. and Bloodletters are so good you basically don't need any other melee unit. Do they really need a one-AP cleave attack that removes retaliations? All on top of being mounted?

I have yet to try the other tomes, but whew lad. You might want to tone them all down if they're as strong as Blood Cult.

Alright Thank you

Other than the Nurgle tome, probably not.

love the mod! would you ever make more warhammer chaos inspired mods?

UPDATE(8/8/24)

Thanks!

Bloodletting Focus will get a rework due to Obsidian Weapons change in this last update. The ability that battle mages get will stay intact.
