Shazbot's Empire Sketchbook - TWH3

I really oughta get some updated pics of these unit stat cards up but for now they should give an idea of what they do.

I made this mod for myself back in Total Warhammer 1 when I got the pack file manager to play with making my own army dudes to play with, and later released it because I thought maybe other people would have fun with it too. Here's Total Warhammer 3, and my activity with the game has waned but now that the Empire is around, getting back at least a little into playing with the pack file manager has been kind of fun.

For the Empire, you get a host of mid-to-late tier units beginning as a step above state troops. Starting with the medieval warriors theme, you get mid tier Warbands with spears, shields, swords, polearms, and horses. Knights, mounted or on foot, are great at crushing your enemies with lances, greatswords, and pollaxes while archers and crossbowmen rain steel from afar. You even get a Dwarven ballista and Bretonnian trebuchet.

Playing with the potential of Empire technology, I made some units fit for 17th-19th century warfare. Three flavors of musket armed line infantry capable of shooting and engaging in melee, balanced out by a weakness to cavalry and low armor and hit points. You get skirmishing snipers, grenadiers with quicklime, carbine and saber cavalry, and some insane war machines including a heavy and light tank, both with exploding mortar shells, a gyrocopter with guided rockets, gyrobomber with explosive bullets, a Dwarven organ gun re-armed into a Volley Howitzer with explosive shells, and War Wagons that carry Helblaster Volley Guns loaded with canister shot so they're giant 9-barrel shotguns. These are my favorite units.

You get a selection of hero and officer units as well. The Enchanter, Battlemage, Ranger, Paladin, Berserker, Druid, Shaman, and Shadowknight each bring their own abilities to use in battle. For Officers, the Colonel carries a rifled repeater with superb range and area effect leadership buffs while the Banner Lord imbues himself with contact effects to lead by example in the thick of the fight.

If I get back into it, I may be adding more units here in the future.
