Norsca are also the first paid DLC faction to come without a separate mini-campaign. Special Norscan versions of hounds (Ice Wolves) and trolls (Ice Trolls) can inflict a ‘Frostbite’ status effect, slowing foes and keeping them pinned in place for a battering. The faction core is ferocious (though generally poorly armoured) warriors, short-range ‘hunter’ themed missile troops, and an impressive range of monstrous friends. Norsca’s Total War line-up is an intriguing one for Warhammer historians, featuring fringe creatures like the aforementioned Skin Wolves, and the oft-forgotten Fimir (beaked Cyclops-like monsters last seen in the mid-80s and titles like Heroquest). As far as I can tell they haven’t had tabletop representation since the 1980s, so this is the first playable faction in the game from outside the established 6-8th Edition races. The Total War: Warhammer team apparently has the blessing of Games Workshop to delve deep into the archives in order to expand lesser known rosters like Norsca. In short: vikings, elves, dwarves, and lords galore.Sir, I have a very angry, hairy parcel to deliver. It adds Alarielle The Radiant to the High Elves and Hellebron The Hag-Queen to the Dark Elves, both fielding new units as they fight over whether the world should be pretty or bloody. Onto paid things! Total Warhammer 2's first DLC 'legendary lord' pack, named The Queen & The Crone, is out now. They're getting the new ability to forge powerful magic items and weapons, a new starting position for Ungrim, new skills for some folks, and the new megamurdering Giant Slayer units. Speaking of, the Dwarves in Mortal Empires have been reworked and expanded a little too. You will need to own the DLC to play them, though do remember it was given free to players who bought Total Warhammer within its first week. The update also adds the Norsca DLC race to the Mortal Empires campaign, and gives the the Viking-y lads new technologies and hunts to make them fit better into the sequel. The High Elves gain new technologies too. All Elven races can now hunt for (and hopefully claim) the Sword of Khaine, for starters, which surely can't backfire. Along with fixing bugs, tweaking balance, and tuning performance a little, it adds new things. Then there's today's big patch, named ' The Resurgent Update'. If you've not nabbed 'em before, see this. Alright Alf, simmer down.Īlso free are the 30th Birthday Regiments from the first Total Warhammer, 30 elite units across several races who have now become playable in Mortal Empires, the campaign which slams the two games together. Here comes Alith Anar, a new Legendary Lord joining the High Elves, going around telling everyone to call him 'The Shadow King' as a cool nickname because he can walk in shadows and summon Morai-Heg to kick people in. As I said, a big and fighty day, whether you're buying anything new or not. The first Total Warhammer's Norsca DLC race have become playable in Twarhammer 2's cross-game Mortal Empires campaign, the new 'The Queen & The Crone Lords Pack' paid DLC is out now, new free DLC adds a brooding new High Elf for everyone, various races have received powerful buffs, and elite units from the first game are now in the sequel too. It's a big and fighty day for Total War: Warhammer II, with extra factions, units, and lords flooding in from all over.
