The Iron Zeppelin

>>>*This mod is part of the Zerg Collection Volume II, DO NOT use this mod along said collection or you'll crash. Choose one.*<<<

*Please consult the Known Issues and QA sections before commenting, thanks.*

This mod adds the Iron Zeppelin to the Chaos Dwarfs.
It's integrated within the Chorf's upgrade and cap system.
This mod also does feature a custom unit minspec porthole that will automatically change colour based on Faction's colour schemes, and different unit cards manually recoloured to reflect their Faction's colour schemes.
This custom unit is available through the Chaos Dwarfs' warmachines building chain.
And that's pretty much it.

*KNOWN ISSUES*
-Some clipping here and there.
-Sadly, I have no control over the destroyed model of this unit, everything is tied to the Thunderbarge's animations and it's automatic.
The good news is that the Iron Zeppelin custom model does not revert to the vanilla one upon destruction.
The bad news is that the custom destroyed model is glitchy and you'll see pieces of it floating in the air.
Sadly, I can't fix this.
-If you are a modder and you want to check or interact with this custom model please do note that current RPFM rigid model viewer will not work and will give you back an error.
*The only way to open this model at the moment is through Asset Editor.*

*QA*

-"Isn't this a little too overpowered?"
Possibly, but the vanilla Thunderbarge isn't exactly renowned for being a balanced unit either.

-"Can you give this Zeppelin to X or Y Lord/Hero as custom mounts?"
No, I'm generally not interested in custom mounts sorry.

-"Can you give this unit to other Chaos factions?"
Nah, this is Chorf-only.
This unit is available through the allied recruitment system, though.
So you might see it pop up whitin your allied Outpost recruitment pool if you are lucky enough (unit card will not change to your faction's colour scheme in that case, though).

-"I have noticed that the Iron Zeppelin's unit card changes colour in custom battles but when I'm playing any Chorf Faction in campaign it seems to always be the red one in the building browser and other stuff, is that normal?"
Yes, having a generic card for most of the ui stuff is normal.
*You'll see that the unit card will get faction colours only when displayed in the recruitment tab and in the army tab.*

-"Lord's Red line?Tech buffs?"
I gave it generic Chaos Dwarfs' warmachine unit sets, so it should get buffs related to those sets.

-"SFO/Radious ecc. ?"
As a matter of fact I'm officially retired from SFO/Overhaul related mods.
As always: If you already have previous experience in SFO submodding feel free to make an SFO version out of any of my mods that are currently missing one, I will link your submods if you provide me with a link.

-"Your mods are ugly and janky, why? just why?"
Here's a friendly reminder: I'm just an amateur and nothing more.
If you want beautiful stuff with no jank then stick with CA and/or professional modders and avoid my mods, simple as that really.
