Unrad Grimbeard along with the units in this mod with better balanced and new textures! You don't need this mod anymore, really.

Thank you, I love lore accurate mods :D

@Fenryx The Wolf

Excavators, Unrad's Excavators and Unrad Grimbeard(future Legendary Hero I'm currently working on) were named in Games Workshop's magazine 'Citadel Journal' #19 as an unofficial unit. I would say they're very much lore accurate.

The Citadel Journal 19 can be found as an PDF if you search for it on google. :)

Is this lore accurate or a fan made idea?

Thanks man :D

Updated. Keep the bugs(my newbie mistakes) coming and I'll smash 'em!

Sorry Phyrex, I noticed one more thing during my play through today. If you are in tier 3 settlements or above you can no longer recruit the basic miner. It seems the Excavators replaces the option entirely. Not sure if it was intended or not :)

No worries Phyrex 😊 thanks for looking anyway

I think it'd be helpful to put in the mod description if they get any buffs from tech or skill trees!

I will look into it.

Edit: I just did a quick campaign with Thorek and the Excavators recieve the buffs from his skill line. And they do have the correct Unit Set in the .pack file(they have the "Miner tag").

Kazador is playable through Mixu's mod, right? Probably some conflict. Don't have more time to look into it tonight, will take a closer look tomorrow. Sorry :(

Sorry to bother you Phyrex but when you get the chance can you give the Dwarf Excavators the tag miners in terms of bonuses received from upgrades?

I'm currently playing a campaign with Karazor Dragonslayer and he gets upgrades for miners but it doesn't effect the Dwarf Excavators because they don't have the miner unit tag.

I loaded the game up after you updated it and I didn't get a crash.

My apologies, Anax and anyone else getting crashes. Not entirely sure how or why it crashes from the updates. It 'should' work perfectly fine from now on if you start a new campaign.

I will have to be more careful with future releases I suppose and do more QA-testing. Sorry!

from when you added the ror unit it crashes for me when i load the game

Updated! I had the wrong number in a key row in one of the tables, preventing Ekrund Miners from appearing in the RoR pool. Complete newbie mistake, sorry! Thanks @Reichmar for finding that out.

I think the Dwarf keep is suitable for the unit as the base unit - the miners is recruited from the same chain. I think you can add a requirement that you also need an armoury to be built if you felt it was required.

They are recruited from the tier 3 main building, Dwarf Keep. I'm not sure if that's where they should be recruited from or not. Or if they should require additional buildings like the Armoury. Balance-wise, the unit could perhaps use some more work.

As for the bug, sorry!

I will dig right into it after work.

Hey I'm sorry if this is already mentioned. Started a new game with this mod. It overwrites ekrund miners in the RoR pool for me. Also, what building are they recruited from in the campaign? I don't see them at all.

Work in skirmish battles though. Thanks! Cool mod!

Thank you guys.

@Crom Grimblade
I do plan on doing more mods of course. I'm hard at work with Unrad Grimbeard at the moment. After that... I got a few ideas.

@CeboDeMacho
I'm not sure if it's save compatible, you're going to have to try yourself. This is my first mod, still not 100% sure of what I am doing to be honest.

@HokutoStrife
In regards to the unit cards, truth be told, I just edited and copy pasted parts from various unit cards into these current ones with Microsoft Paint.

@PeskyBees
The RoR, Unrad's Excavators, have blasting charges. I will consider adding a blasting charges variant in the near future, no promises though. I'm occupied with my next mod.

Love this, really adds to a gap in the roster. Would you consider releasing a variant of excavators with blasting charges?

Take my points!
I love miners, and love when people can do a unit card that doesn't look like shitty ass.
Yours are nice!

By Grungni's beard! Is this save game-compatible? Thanks for the lore-friendly mod!

Always happy to see lore friendly mods! You plan on doing more?

Some good ideas. I've already planned for Unrad Grimbeard to wield his Lantern of Eternal Glow visibly in his hand.

Hey, two ideas:
1. You can use Gotrek's animations for the RoR and actually give them the lantern in their left hand like on the picture. I think it would look very cool!
2. I would propose giving them a different weapon. Instead of the usual pickaxe, you can easily kitbash a warpick or a crow's beak (bec de corbin) https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dnd4/images/b/b1/%24_59.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20150119145625 , these are very effective and brutal anti-armor weapons.

Updated with the RoR version called 'Unrad's Excavators'!

After years of being beaten by almost every unit, these miners went back to their holds and did one push up for every grudge they had tallied. When they reemerged it was a terrifying sight to behold.

Looks cool, might use them for the RoR. :)

Looks great! Looking forward to the compilation.

Thanks! Big fan of your work!

Congrats on your first mod! Grab an award and a like :)
