Nippon & Ind going to be added ??

[Vargschewer]

Completed the trilogy with collection yesterday & wondering if Nippon and Ind will be added as playable armies (Mainly just want Nippon but Ind would be cool also)

Rather devs release a DLC than any mods I might add.

I'd say more Ind than Nippon.

Messaggio originale di A Velociraptor:

I swear if Nippon or Ind get added instead of Nagash I think I might just do something. While it would be cool there's potentially a whole new faction to be added with Nagash potentially combining vampire counts and Tomb Kings rosters in a better way than Arkhan. Or maybe a semi unique roster of itself.

Don't really get why people keep insisting that Nagash would be his own race since he'd more probably be an Undead version of Chaos Undivided/Legions of Chaos/Daniel or be a Vampire Counts or Tomb Kings LLs at the very least. I bet it's all these AoS kids.

I just want the crappy old derpy Nagash model hahaha.

I mean, out of all the minor fluff factions left that could be a race DLC Nippon is probably is one of the least likely.

Basically the same as Cathay , Nippons units could be the same as Cathay just with skins and abilities to suit its culture , you could even have skaven nightrunners as merc units which as I read that they learned the art of Nippons Ninjas etc.

Yeah because that went over so well last time[www.quora.com] :p

But really the reason why Nippon isn't one of the likely fluff factions to get promoted is that it's not even map. The other three factions I believe are more likely, Ind, Khuresh and Dogs of War, are all on the map in the blocked off Fog of War areas , save DoW,
DoW is likely because it's a legacy army in a way because they were a playable faction in Tabletop for a while before being demoted to fluff and have their fair share of fans. And not to mention Ind has kind of been teased in some events.

I have that metal model :) Needs really good glue to hold its arms on, I think its far better than the newer plastic AoS style one .

But one model doesn't make a new race, now does it?

True yeh , I'm only mostly going off that the skaven nightrunners learnt their trade via Nippon training them ,either in Nagash trilogy or somewhere in lore. Dont think on my old old world map it was on the map.

Still I think would be a cool DLC and interesting units. I'd like to try Ind as well . Not really sure what Khuresh is ,not heard much of it.

True a legendary lord maybe , but think he would lead an alliance of tomb kings & Vampires courts ..maybe have cannon fodder unit of mixed slaves of undead,skaven & orks (something like zombies,but slaves) Starting point at the Black pyramid of course.

Not up with the end times stuff as it starts off AoS line more than anything

The answer is more a "probably no" rather than a "definitely no".
Ind, as a landmass is in game, but blocked out, and Nippon as a landmass would be easy to add in.
The landmass will be opened up, but probably filled with other legendary lords to make space, the same way araby the location is in game, but the race isn't.

If DLC keeps selling really well, it's always possible the CA asks GW if they can do it, and GW says yes, then they do it.
But, it's almost certainly not being worked on right now, since they were fire fighting mode, and had to re-shuffle all their DLC plans.

Now that SoC is getting close to it's 50% sale point, so likely to get it's big boost in sales from people waiting for it's price to bottom out, and the DLC are being more generally accepted at launch. I'd guess the conversation about if any new races are going to be done or not would be happening around the time of the next two DLCs, and seeing how all the different DLC sells around then. Since adding a new race would probably take more time than just new legendary lords for existing races, would need buy in from GW for creative control, and lore development.

I very much doubt it's completely off the table if there is enough money to be made, but I would also keep any hopes low, in all likelihood, DLC hasn't been selling well enough, and so it's probably not happening. but it still could.

I bought the TWW3 game and chaos dwarf DLC just because I'll never have an army for them on TT . Going by that Nippon & Ind could sell sorta the same way .

Yeah, but they cannot add another Cathay. Cathay is so respectful it is boring, and does not fit the Warhammer "Heavy Metal mneets Catholicism" theme. Gotta grime it up a bit, make it go full Sword & Sorcery.
.

They are doing what GW did with the other races when they were first introduced on the tabletop - starting with the most positive factors and slowly trickling in the darker stuff over time, though in Cathay's case it is more "Heavy Metal meets Taoism"

There is already plenty of darker stuff for Cathay - the ruling dragons have plunged the country into bloody civil wars multiple times in their history, they have re education camps, and the reason that travellers returning from Cathay always have positive things to say is because those that had bad time didn't get to leave Cathay.

Except Cathay has no Heavy Metal at all.
It honestly looks like CCCP propaganda.

It is so squeaky clean it contrasts with the rest of the setting, negatively. Just look at their Ogre and Chaos Dwarf neighbours.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think the most lore accurate portrayal of Nagash would be to give him a Legions of Chaos-like faction with the Undead races, a kind of united Undead faction. I haven't read the End Times either, but I have seen lore videos on it, and from what I can tell that's basically what he did in the End Times. When he came back he took control over and united all the Undead factions together. There was no Legions of Nagash in Fantasy, only AoS.

We'll I for one would buy that faction/alliance DLC. Just because the Nagash novels are my fave books of all time . Such a well written dark story line(would also make an excellent movie trilogy if rated R also along with Sigmar/Malekith crossovers)

But yeh like I said having a warhammer fantasy game without Nagash is like a Superman movie & not have Superman in it . Not sure if GW/CA are nutz or waiting to release Nagash/faction sometime but drag it out for an undead lifetime lol

Womp womp.

“Don’t hold your breath,” Not saying if a 100% right or wrong. Still if you scroll up to the comment I made of not doing the job till its 100% done ,seems lazy otherwise having a old world map and not having all factions included in lore/TT.

"Womp womp " look at what you replied to "but really in all honesty ...I don't give a stuff" Hope that satisfies you :D

If you didn't give a stuff, you wouldn't have made this thread and replied to everything. Also, that was a game dev commenting on it in that article, so you better take it at his word.

Ind, Khuresh, Nippon are nothing factions, just padding to the lore and world. I'd rather they expand and polish all the factions we have, rather than add half baked ideas from places that have minimal lore.

[Tokogawa [GER]]

The Landmass is there but "locked". You cant enter it or see into it. I hope they add something in there and adding both Nippon and Ind makes sense. Heard they also have special chaos Lizards there but I have only read about that region once.
I welcome any new Faction but I assume they would have to make both from Scratch. Seeing how well they made Vampire Coast gives me hope they do it thought

That's exactly right "I don't give a stuff" as its only a game . Wanting to know if all factions will be included was a question I asked as just finished off collecting the trilogy of games & hoped all the old world would be included and not slap happy put out .

You seem up yourself and happy about that they are not included for whatever reasons are beyond me. You seem pretty satisfied of your search for article & hard work you sent to link me the site of the game dev to say "don't hold your breath"

I've told you and others a few times if you're are going to complete the game then do it 100% . (also game devs should take note of this as it's a task rarely done these days)

It's only polite to reply and have a course of action to put into words being a simple question could be answered.

[Conflagration]

Well, I guess you can lead a man to information but you can't make him think.

[Treyen]

We'll get slaanesh/elf dlc, hope to god a norsca rework, bretonnia rework, then almost certainly a nagash/undead dlc. Dogs of War might also happen, but personally, I think that's copium. Unless they decide this game is making enough money to fund another year or two of dev time, then we can start to hope for stuff like ind or nippon.
