2 Chaosdwarf Gyrocopters

Update status: seems to be working fine with 6.3

After working on my Gyrogunship Mod a few ideas emerged to give the Chaos Dwarves a little more of a warmachine airforce.

These gyrocopters are the result:


Shreddercopter

This small squadron of Gyrocopters can be recruited at Tier III from the warmachine building. They are not too slow, highly armored and are very capable of turning infantry units into mincemeat. They aren't doing as well against monstrous units though. They fulfill a similar niche compared to Skaven Doom-Flayers, although their animations and their ability to fly still result in some key differences in regards to how they can be used.


Thundergopter

This bigger Gyrocopter can be recruited from the Tier V warmachine building. Its name stems from the fact that it can shoot lighting bolts. Those aren't super precise, but they can do serious damage to weakly armored targets and are especially dangerous against dense formations when even misses end up hitting other units.



Known Issues

While they are integrated into the hellforge and its upgrades, the UI makes it appear as if they don't profit from the upgrades. Despite that the warmachine upgrades will indeed also apply to them.


Compatibility

Should be compatible with basically everything.
Adding it in the middle of a playthrough seems to be unproblematic, but I advise against removing it in the middle of a playthrough.
If people want to make submods, just go ahead.

Credit

I want to further credit Ole for his amazing AssetEditor,
DJ Fro-Fro for his RPFM,
d3rpyn3wb for creating many great warmachine mods that inspired me in general and the Hashuts Gunpowder Units mod specifically which helped me a lot when integrating the hellforge functionality and of course for the Unit Cards he made for my Gyrocopters,
Snek who also made many great inspiring mods, including Dawi Thunder, which also helped me creating my gyrocopter models,
"Modern Spartan" who kickstarted the concept of this mod
and of course CA and GW for the game itself.


Overall I would appreciate if anyone using this mod as a blueprint themselves or even entire units, would credit me and everyone else who contributed to making it possible.
Other than that I have no issue at all with people using as much of my work as they want.
