Warhammer: Sons of the Empire
Warhammer: Sons of the Empire adds armor, melee weapons, banners and guns from the Warhammer Fantasy setting to Minecraft 1.20.1 through Forge.
What it does
Six factions are covered, including the Empire, Bretonnia, Tzardom, Kislev, the Southern Realms and Karaz Ankor, with armor sets for each and some High Elf pieces. Melee weapons, banners and guns are included, and more are planned. Some armor sets lack a helmet, boots or leggings, and several factions share boots and helmets, so recipes are kept fewer where possible.
The mod needs Geckolib and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, and it is published only for Forge on 1.20.1, with version 1.1.9 as the latest file from 2025-07-19. The author suggests pairing it with other addons, and a config option lets Villager Recruits change models to human ones.
