can you make a mod where the only thing that is changed is the horse/dorghar?
i absolutely love the daemon horse look so much, but i like the vanilla looking archaon more than the modded looking archaon.
guess i'm a beta male lol.

@88888888 Just don't use the mod lil bro

Theres a lot I like about this reskin, but a few glaring issues have made me just go back to the basegame visuals for Archaon. The silly and out of place looking "crown" glued onto the helm is probably the biggest. The other changes to Morkar's helm I like, its more inline with its description as a leering skull. But the helm is designed for the Crown of Domination to fit *under* it...and its certainly not a Tiara that looks like it was pried off one of the High Elves character models. The changes to Dorghar are excellent, but the horns look terrible and out of place.

Swap load order

Chaos Visual Overhaul cause problems

please update the mod if I zoom out it becomes an ugly polygon

All im going to say is this mod with your great reskins for Archaon and Dorghar eventually having an update with a new Dorghar model based on the tides of torment Chrimea... no reason specifically...

This is my favorite Archaon mod! It looks awesome, Dorghar is great, in short, I love it !!!!!! Thank you very much for your work.🍻

@Everyone: Before anyone asks the mod should be fine for 6.2.

This reminds me of how a total warhammer Youtuber named Tariff portrays Archaon as a guy that's too busy frolicking in the meadows and playing with his pet Norscan rather than bringing the End Times. If Tariff ever made some videos about mods for Total Warhammer 3 then I feel like he might do this one too where reskinned Archaon shows up to the old world blasting Kai's theme (from Kung Fu Panda 3).

To everyone asking for an update or telling me the mesh is broken, ITS DOES NOT, YOU HAVE A MOD CONFLICT, SWAP CHAOS RESKIN LOAD ORDERS

Mesh bugs out in battle

how hard would it be to change the armor from mirror to mat black?

Beautiful, amazing work

update please

can you do a reskin for festus the chinlord?
he looks like a cartoon character, for me atleast.

This is a great Archaon makeover, thanks mucho and kudos for the work!

Awwwwwwwwww ♥♥♥♥., Is it time for an Archaon playthrough? I think it is...

Well this is gonna be a must have for my chaos playthroughs now

The Baron: You have a mod conflict of some kind, if you have another chaos reskin, put this mod above that in your mod manager, hopefully that will fix the issue.

for some reason this mod breaks archaon's skin, it staight up doesnt work for me, what am i missing?

yes sir of course sir... well i look forward to see what else you do but this will certainly be a mainstay for me now.

@GC72: Glad you recognized that this reskin is in no way related to any other tabletop fantasy franchise! I really don't do singular high quality character reskins because I prefer doing faction reskins, and this reskin was just a piece of a dead reskin I made some time ago. But, I may put out more individuals, thinking about making high quality Louen and Karl reskins.

@Master Confounder ok good day

@𝔃ℓααиєѕн: Making the little warning symbol to a check mark in the mod manager does not necessarily make the mod more reliable, in fact, it does nothing. No tables or files that affect Archaon were updated, the mod is safe and good to use, hence no update required.

@Master Confounder I haven't tried it but it would be more reliable if it was updated.

@𝔃ℓααиєѕн: Why, does it not work?

As this is by far the best ive seen for Archaon im curious do you have any other characters on the agenda next? quite interesting to see others get the more subtle makeovers? (that are totally not based slightly on any other warhammer franchise haha).

On a side note would be cool in the future if there was a way he starts off in his normal attire then turns into this once he gets his items.

@patryk_wesierski16: It MAY cause some but it shouldn't be that bad. But if you mean you can't even move in the mod manager, it actually may be your Microsoft Defender. I had the issue a bit ago and the only way to have the mod manager actually move is by disabling real time protection when you want to use the game, hope this helps.

Could you replace mod's icon to a static ?

Animated one tanks launcher's speed and makes using it a slugfest

alright, thanks for the info, i'll give it another go and see, appreciate the help to understand a bit more, i suck at modding xD

@Player: Sorry but this mod is air tight when it comes to compatibility, if you have a conflict its probably another mod that affects chaos.

@NorscanWarlord: Sorry but no current plans as of yet. And how can you nost save? You have to create the packfile first and then save afterwards, I'd also recommend using version 0.45 of the asset editor, it has the least amount kf bugs or removed features.

Can you make a skin for Drazhoath and Astragoth? not many of those that looks amazing sadly maybe for Drazhoath one of those glowing infernal helmets with horns, i'd do it myself but idk how to save the file, i tried once and i accidedntly deleted all my work and i gave up

glitches on my list (probably texture conflicts)

yessss haha this is the type of Archaon reskin ive been waiting for, great job!

I love !!

Nice

would you do a seperate mod where we only have the new horse for archaon and for all the chaos cavalry?
i really love these horses, they look much better than the vanilla ones.
like the horses are chaos tainted too.
so horrifying!!!

@Nuna<3: Whatever is happening there is a mod conflict, not to do with this mod, if you have other reskins that effect chaos trying moving the load orders around, mainly by moving this mod above them. I can only help so much with that but that's what I'd recommend.

Very nice reskin, but it doesn't go and it's made to look crooked
Fix pls

By far the best Archaon Reskin of all 3x titles - keep on the great work buddy!

@Vaxar Kun: I'm pretty sure in that pic its his sword putting his legs under a lot of light. But to be fair, the lighting in this game is wonky sometimes, especially how different maps' ambient lighting will cause some weirdness, for example, I once had Demigryph knight helmets shine blue on desert maps when they clearly have no color.

I'll look into it, but under nornal circumstances the torso and the legs match.

Awesome work!

is it me or are the leg armor brighter than the top? using dead's wh1 texture overhaul

Everything you make is phenomenal!

@RatboyW: Yeah I don't know when to trust my eyes sometimes, like for example, Archaon in the asset editor the eye glows green to me, but in-game the eye does glow red, so I have banked on the eye being green. Yeah its hard sometimes, not to the point of seeing Wood Elves as red but it is what is.

Yeah no worries! Happy to help if I can, no shade or anything haha. Ultimately the much better horns you gave him make this my choice for Archaon regardless lol

But since you mention color blindness I gotta ask... the Eye of Sheerian's green glow? All the vfx on his helm/the eye are red-orange, like fire. If those colors appear green to you I would get what you mean, but to be clear the green in the crown's recesses is the only green on him. I had a buddy once who had color issues too and saw the Nether in Minecraft as glowing green, only reason I ask

I kind of see what you mean about the oxidation but in game I can hardly tell, though I am colorblind so I'm not too sure (and honestly if its green it may actually help boost the perceived green glow of the Eye of Sheerian). As for the boots, I just assumed that the shoe is just longer than his foot by a great degree but I get your point, problem is if you fix it then it becomes a cohesion issue since all of chaos has many undersized assets, i.e. you fix one you have to fix them all which would kind of require a total faction reskin. Though with that being said, I think I'll revisit the boots in the future nonetheless

Also, I never thought you were blaming me for the texture problems, this is a mod not a homework assignment so I appreciate the heads up to things I didn't catch. And yeah, the rune effect on the helmet was kind of tricky but it was actually the problem of matching the Prince crown with the WH1 textures that I made a mistake on originally.

To be clear, I realize the oxidation and boots aren't your fault, the Daemon Prince and Chaos Lord assets are just like that. Just pointing out tweaks similar to what I battled while working on Tyrion

This is what I mean about the green oxidation (remade this after the recent update):
https://i.imgur.com/VPBIYfO.png

And keep in mind, the glowing orange rune vfx on his helmet will alter the perceived brightness and warmth of the underlying texture ingame. Things like that can make stuff look like a pretty perfect match in assed, only to change ingame.

I shouldn't have mentioned Revisited, as I just realized the boots in that mod have a similar issue anyway. I should have just pointed to his vanilla boots, they have a decent shape, albeit a bit too small (like so many undersized vanilla Chaos details). I mean how truncated his boots towards his toes are, his feet must be mashed in there like a ballerinas lol. Would be worth importing his vanilla boot model and upsizing it to fit imo, but I'm just some jackass in the comments
