Description

This is a reskin and unit alteration mod for Aranessa Saltspite.

The original intention when Vampire Coast was in development was for Aranessa to be a vampire. We know this from promotional material and art, plus one of the scenarios in Dreadfleet involves Noctilus giving Aranessa the Blood Kiss so there is a clear pathway in the lore for this.

As such, this mod just makes sense and makes things cleaner, rather than go through the rigamarole of Manann (or Stromfels) sending Aranessa dead bodies and then having her force her undead immortal lieutenants to raise zombies for her out of sheer loyalty and fear.

In addition to her changed appearance (beyond being pale and red eyed she also has some new vampire flourishes on her outfit), she has some minor attribute modifiers/passive abilities to keep her in line with other vampiric and undead characters, but her stat line remains unchanged.

Big credit to Poljanan for first doing this mod back in WH2, whose mod I used as the base for this data table wise, and then Xoudad big thanks to him as well for helping out in the final stretch with the tables.

In the future I may work on her Lord Effects to reflect her vampire nature.

And if there are a few mad lads out there inclined to contribute to my Arabyan coffee and Slaaneshi stripper fund, Marienburg funny money is accepted and appreciated!

Thanks for replying, and I'm glad you like the idea. I'll check your workshop every so often just in case you do find the time for it at some point down the line, after your other things. ^_^

@Reiteration6
That is a kick ass idea man! But regrettably I don't quite have the time with all the other things I'm doing right now to pull that off, I think it would be relatively simple to do actually but its all the research and testing beforehand that is time consuming.

If I ever do that mod, it will be posted in my workshop.

I know this is a lot to ask, but is there any chance at all you'd be willing to make a version of this (or a submod) that completely removes the Sartosan living units and shifts the buffs she gives them onto zombie deckhands?

I've always despised the Sartosan units for looking nothing like pirates, and it's even worse when you hear their voice lines in battle ("For the Emperor!" Why, CA, why?). Now that you've made this awesome mod that turns Aranessa into an undead herself, surely there's no need for her faction to keep incentivising players to use those trash units instead of units that actually ARE pirates.

She looks good.

Yeah the unhappy medium with Sartosa as a VC faction but Aranessa as just a random human wrangled into the top of a vampiric hierarchy was just so goofy. Her being vampirized made perfect sense with Jhaego Roth's fate being what it is in Warhammer TW.

Great reskin and so badly needed, thanks for your hard work :)
