How do I recruit black orc big bosses?

[Alpine Imposter]

Playing as Grimgor's 'Ardboyz, got the Black Fort unique and Black Orc Barracks built in Sabre Mountain, but on the hero tab there's no tab for black orc big bosses - only goblin big bosses or orc shamans.

When I google this problem I get lots of forum posts about a free update in 2020 that added black orcs, with responses to "start a new campaign". It's 2023, I got this game less than a month ago, that's not the issue.

Does anybody know what I'm missing?

you using any mods?

Some mods seems to remove orc big bosses.

seems strange. I just checked vanilla and i could see the black orc warboss.

Perhaps the problem is that I've got the one that Grimgor starts with, Skram Da Roughey?

The only thing is that wouldn't explain why there's no recruitment tab, since with other races filling your max amount of a hero type just means you can't click recruit on more.

Ugh...
Check the following in the DLC tab of the steam settings https://ibb.co/CP6BHdb

You're right, it's not there. It's not on the list of DLC on the Total Warhammer 3 steam store page, either. How do I find it?

Think that one was tww access, need to link your account to their site for some DLCs.

So it's not actually a free update because I have to give them my data and make an extra forum account. Truly the pinnacle of gaming. Thanks to you and everybody else for the help, RIP having black orc heroes in this save.

It's not a TW Access FLC.
You're not giving them any data you don't already give someone else.
But you do have the Catchweb Spidershhrine mount for goblin shamans there, as well as a hero for Wood Elves and Beastmen, plus Regiments of Renown for Bretonnia, WoC, Beastmen, Wood Elves and Norsca.

The issue might be you not having WH2, since he was added as an automatic FLC in Wh2.

If it's not a TW access and it's not on the store page, where do I get black orcs

I just checked my Total War Access account to see if that's where I originally got the Black Orc Big Boss and I couldn't see him in there. These are the things that were listed in my Access account,

Great Bray Shaman

Ogre Mercs

Rakarth

Glade Captain

Catchweb Spidershrine

Gotrek & Felix

But obviously since WH3 came out they might have streamlined this mess and it might not be the same as it was when we were adding them over the years of WH2.

As I edited in, it might be tied to WH2.

Note that Rakarth is no longer Access exclusive, and the Ogre Mercs are only usable in WH2.

Wish I'd known this while WH2 was on sale. Oh, well

buy it on a third party site for cheaper than you could when it was on sale.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Unfortunately the big sales have ended in the legit third-party stores as well. Maybe when Chorfs come out there'll be another sale. If not, for the Skulls events surely.
