Is it possible that the next DLC would feature DoW-like Norscans with Skeggi?

Hey everyone,

I was looking around the map in my campaign today, and expecting Dogs of War and probably a DoW faction in New World Colonies, Skeggi really caught my eye.

Is it possible that we would get Skeggi as a new playable faction with sailing and raiding themed Norscans, to accompany the High Elven naval side of the DLC? Skeggi would fit as an adversary for the High Elven navy, while also being mercenaries switching sides between Slaneesh, through its corruption, and High Elven funds from trading, introducing a new DoW faction like Golgfag's faction. The Bearmen of Urslo could also come as an RoR in such a DLC, building up the next mostly Southern Realms DoW DLC.

 

From the little Skeggi lore that I read here, I see that the High Elves have actually been hiring Norscans before. The Norse of Skeggi are depicted as greedy, so it would all really fit the narrative for a three-way Slaanesh/High Elves/Norsca DLC, while also being more DoW content through HE and Norscan RoRs, and possibly Skeggi Mercenary Contracts. Not to mention High Elven and Norscan reworks, of course.

 

We've been thinking about Neferata or a Dark Elven faction for the third race, but I found this idea fitting as well.

 

What do you guys think?

Almost certainly not. Skeggi has no LL level character and when/if Norsca gets a DLC it will probably be Sayl. 


My hope is that IF ever we get Mortkin as a proper Norsca LL, CA will move Wulfrik to Skeggi.

Back when Norsca was released as pre-order bonus for WH2 I hoped Wulfrik would be there and playable (or in the Albion).


Since he is seafarer it could be great dual start for him even in the IE map.

Is it possible? Sure, almost anything is possible.


But it's highly unlikely. Next dlc is almost certainly going to be Slaanesh, so right there it's going to be a lord pack not a race pack. Adella in Skeggi would work as she's a LL level character and the king of it, but I don't think Adella would be a dlc lord as she herself is very unique, but doesn't really have any units that would be tied closer to her so I would guess would be a flc lord.


I'm still not so confident that HE are going to be in the dlc either, and wouldn't be surprised if it's something like Slaanesh, Cathay, and either TK or Coast

She isn’t. She’s an RPG loreblurb that was created last year.

So I just checked for this, she's from an RPG book about Lustria from 2023. That's rather recent, so I can see her coming as an LL to TW: Warhammer III. Of course, we can argue about what's more important, but the fact that she is a recent character is increasing the likelihood of Skeggi coming.

Not really just because came out not means is more likely else old world chrachter would already be confirmed coming

Rex just doesn't like that Norsca exists outside of WoC, so wants as little content for it as possible (his own words on the old forum)

One can argue she is as good LL as any Cathayan dragon sibling. Or Cylostra.


Maybe she was made with TW in mind. Who know.


Another loreblurb are norscan shieldwomen who joined their men in the raids. That could be "her" new unit. 


And if we stretch it a bit there could be valkiria melee/support hero.

We never got RPG only characters for races with established characters.

What are you even talking about? I never argued against Norsca as its own race or Norsca getting more content. You must mistake me with someone else. In fact Sayl the faithless is one of my most wanted LLs out there and I really want Mortkin as a LL too. So I never said that on the old forum. Pretty sure you mean @DarthEnderX-#6513 


I’m just fundamentally against lore blurbs turned to LLs when we have actual TT characters. 


So stop spreading lies about me.

Fair point, well, it was an entertaining idea in any case. We'll see what and when we actually get something for Norsca, if we do.

Vampire Coast and Cathay didn’t have any TT characters except for Luthor Harkon so GW had to create stuff. 


Norsca has more than enough actual TT candidates for CA to use. 


So the comparison makes no sense.

She was made by Cubicle 7 (another licensee who produces WFRP atm) not GW itself, so she absolutely would not have been made with TWW in mind

C7 did a Lustria book, needed someone to be in charge of Skeggi, so made someone up. She’s never been in anything published by GW itself. Lustria book itself even says the King of Skeggi often changes.


The dragon siblings in contrast were made by GW itself and will feature in TOW.


Cylostra is a better comparison, but she is an OC made by the designers of *this* game rather than one made by different 3rd party designers of another game.


There’s also plenty of LL options for Norsca that actually come from GW and a decent number that even had a TT presence without having to go mine products from a different licensee.

- Sayl the Faithless 

- Crom 

- Lord Mortkin 

- Beorg Bearstruck 


That’s the Norsca LL candidates we have from the TT. No need for RPG nobodies like Whodella.

Yeah 2 chaos races are extremely unlikely. 


Norsca x Cathay x LM/TK/Empire on the other hand would be super fun.

And frankly, I think the odds of them getting 2 LL's is pretty good.


Either as the extra LL with the Norsca DLC or just as a random FLC LL.

Norsca needs a FLC LL, so there's no way it's gonna be added in the next DLC alongside Slaanesh.


Same could be said for the Vampire Counts.

That's part of it, yeah. It also seems like too big of an undertaking to take on in a DLC where Slaanesh also needs moderate to the lower end of high amounts of reworks.


I agree, I think Norsca vs. Cathay vs. LM/TK/Empire would be very fun, there's a lot they could do.
