Custom Legendary Lord (see Tech Info) and one new Lord type! 11+ new units, replacing some default units.

While trying to put “more norse” into something that is already a 1,4m tall viking.

So I had to do some behavioural guesswork to make them interesting. Please note that if we exclude contradictory recent stories about their extinction, specific lore about them is quite limited: all that is known is that they are isolated, endangered (like pandas, only they fight back) and considered weird by other Dwarfs. Also, inevitable influence from their direct enemies and neighbourhood make them even crazier and weird enough to wield a few swords, known Umgi weaponry. Soap, probably.īasically, I’m assuming they instead focused on killing humies, drilling stuff and runesmithing, or mixing these things a bit. Which also means that some of the military advancements from the imperial dwarfs didn’t quite bloom for them. Some solace may come from the fact that the Norse Dwarfs were spared many of the cataclysms that put a dent in Karaz-Ankor, like the War of Beards/Vengeance. LORE NOTES: NORSE DWARFS, THE SPLINTER HOLDSThe Dwarf colonist that went so far north probably spend most of their time (that is not taken by mining and beer-guzzling) fighting chaos-loving humans, their daemons BFF, truckloads of giants and trolls and disgusting Skaven from Hellpit (Clan Moulder living right beneath the dwarfs’ steel-capped boots and probably stealing their chips, and this is a legit reason on its own right to go berserk). Which means you’re like one of those squirrels in an ice age with snow blowing all over the place, except that you’re a dwarf and you’re in hell because everything wants to kill you and your mug is sprouting tentacles and whatthehellisgoingon.Īh, and SURPRISE! I'm gonna chat a lot but you gotta read it because there's important stuff. Excessively so, one might say.īecause we’re talking about playing as the Norse Dwarfs. Another roster expansion, new techs, characters, skills, just like with the Southern Realms, but with less plumes and more beards.

Dwarfs total war warhammer
