Oh,Reiksfart,where for art thou????

I used to frequent these forums alot but,like everyone eventually does,I got bored with 1.4 and moved on to other games,but these wizards have pulled me back here with this amazing mod again (and thats a compliment bigtime to you modders,cuz usually when I shelve a game I never return....)
While there are some fantastic modders lurking about there was one in particular who understood the depth,variety,and sheer viciousness of Chaos.That was user Reiksfart.
His re adaption of Chaos was just plain incredible (For those who never played with his mods back then he added some crazy awesome stuff like Khorne,Nurgle ect Beastmen,and as a whole made the Chaos army alot like the army books)
Whether you fight against em or fight as em,anyone who has played the tabletop knows they should be alot more fierce and varied then they are in this mod.Don't get me wrong,they have done an amazing job on them so far,but there are some things I think would top them off.I know I know....game balance right?Well I beleive that can be solved with unit costs (very high for chaos,low for empire,and very low for poor Middenheim,whew,they have it rough...)
Also elven archers should be scary,very scary.
If your out there still Reiksfart, or if any modder wants to take up the challenge (I'd be a fan for sure)here is whats needed in 1.5 IMO-

Chaos marked beastmen,Chaos hounds (and,or even better flesh hounds)Chaos marked Minotaurs,Chaos Giants,
MORE deadly high elf archers,Dark Elves Hydra,Manticore...High Elves Dragons,Carl Franz on a gryphon,Greater Deamons,More faction Chariots (so far I have only seen high elves with them) A CHAOS SPAWN caps cuz that would friggin rock-especially if it happened with Chaos Generals who lost battles) and whatever else you could cram in there.

Sadly,I havent been able to find any sub mods for 1.5 with any of the above yet so I thought maybe I could throw this out there and fire up Reiksfart if he is still around or hopefully ignite some talent modder's interest.

All the above,and this would be the RTS of my dreams for sure!!! I tried modding but I have a careless nature and screw up alot so I leave it up to the masters out there.
But you Modders should know,there are some of us who cherish what you do and remember your names for the great work you do...Rock on guys

Nice to be mentioned, even though it has been a couple of years since I released that old stuff. I'm happy you appreciate my work.

I'm still around but haven't been doing any modding for quite a while. Been living life, moved house again, fishing on my boat, dirt biking in the mountains and actually playing a few (non-tw) games which I hadn't done for quite a while when I was focused on modding.

Once 1.6 is out and is stable, I'll start to play that and then get back into updating all my work and adding the 'needed' finishing touches for a first release of my submod. If I had known 1.6 would take almost a year after the expected release of last new year I would have already released something, but I always expected it within months and held off and just kept working on models. Lost some interest and got burned out, plus all the impatient posts about it didn't help (don't like pressure).

I'll still release, just can't say when, but I hear 1.6 is in alpha testing so it shouldn't be long before the new version is out. Then I'll have to find the will and time to resume, I am a lot busier these days.

I know what you mean man,life has a way of zig-zagging us all around till we cant even remember where we started in the 1st place.

It stuns me that as well done as 1.5 turned out,theres a huge lack of mods and sub mods for it like you would think thered be.Personally I think these guys have only scratched the surface of where call of warhammer could get to.

I looked at your preview-post for your hardcore fantasy campaign-now THATS what I am talking about.If they want warhammer-it should be more warhammer.
I'll be greatly anticipating that for sure.And always checking to see what some other modders may have brainstormed out.

Good to see you back Reiksfart! You're the reason I check the CoW submod forums every day. Looking forward to your release
