Norsca has hidden easter egg heroes from the lore?

[Hollywood]

So I just built the werekin building in Graeling, next thing I noticed I had a werekin hero available to recruit named Haargroth the Fang in the Night. That sounded familiar and sure enough Haargroth was a famous warrior from Graeling, although not a werekin as far as I'm aware. Has anyone else seen this where you build the hero recruitment buildings in just the right place and get a hidden easter egg?

Thanquol has bonecrusher, making him a great caster on a great mount

Sniktch doesn't lead armies and we don't have any special heroes other than the green knight so I doubt he'll be there

Throt is one of the council members so I doubt he'll be there

Its between thanquol and ikit right now and I really hope we see both

But that is all Thanquol have. He's basically the Malus Darkblade of The Skaven. Iconic alone, but brings no new units.

Which is why as Sindri Myr said (sorry i couldn't reply to you xD), Thanquol would make a great FLC. If Malus gets in as FLC, Thanquol might too.

And honestly i didn't know Throt is a council member. Kinda a bummer if he's limited to cutscenes only.

Yeah Thanquol could have some special trait for hiring heroes. Also would be cool if they added legendery heroes, in particular Gotrek&Felix^^

If only Legendary Heroes were a thing, eh? How would Gotrek and Felix even be implemented i wonder. A duo like Skarsnik and Gobbla? Or 2 separate lords like Vlad & Isabella? If LH is a thing, Isabella should be demoted to Vlad's embedded hero and Karl Franz should have Luthor Hoss, and Caradryan should be available to Tyrion. Mann, a man can dream.

Why would Franz have Luthor Huss? He'd be more likely to have Ludwig Schwarzhelm, since he's the personal bodyguard. Huss is a vagabond priest who wanders around on his own most of the time and usually joins an army when he comes across one at the right time then wanders off again.

Also to OP, I think the Haargroth thing is only a partial Easter Egg as it's just one of the names in the naming RNG for non-permanent characters, in the same way that say the Vampire Counts have multiple characters who get called Harkon, or there's the occasional Gurnisson in the Dwarfs etc.

Haargroth the Blooded One was one of my characters from the Storm of Chaos era, hoping he might make it in for a later FLC lord for Norsca or Chaos down the line a la Wurrzag, but that's a super long shot. I usually name a lord after him anyway and dedicate him to Khorne.

I don't know about "the right place", but I've got a HE mage called Yrtle before. With Finreir, Yrtle was one of Teclis' mage companions when he decided to go help Magnus in the old world against chaos. Just like Teclis and Finreir, Yrtle wisely advised many human generals during the war and accomplished many magical feat of strength to defeat the invasion.
In the lore Yrtle has been dead since 200 years ago, as he died during the war against Chaos, so not sure why Yrtle and not Finreir who survived, but hey why not.

I think it's the same thing as I said, where they're just using names from the lore, since they'd still be actual names other people from the same race have.

If that doesn't confirm Thanquol DLC I don't know what does.

It doesn't really. As a standalone lord Thanquol or Sniktch doesn't add much unlike Ikit Claw who adds a lot of new Skryre toys like the jezzails and those doomrocket engineers or Throt the Unclean who adds new Moulder monstrosities. If you ask me, they should release a "Vermintide" lord pack featuring Thanquol, Throt and Sniktch with less units but more lords to compensate. That, my friend, is the way to go. He is very iconic.

What...what does it make you think that skaven and lizardmen wont receive the same treatment as ALL THE OTHER RACES until now? Meh, nevermind...

No i was just referring to a possible FLC for the skavens post-lizard-skaven lord pack. Wasn't confirming anything.

Lets assume that, after the end of the development of warhammer 3 and all its dlcs, they will keep producing dlcs just like for rome 2 (remember that rome has only humans and the work required is minimal) At this pace it would take 1 year of development just for a dlc

Uhmm I may be confused, it's been awhile since I've dug into the lore but didn't Skrolk have cavalry that rode diseased giant rats or something? Edit: Not as big as Rat Ogres, but just slightly bigger than the normal skaven.

Those could prove useful for a FLC Clan Pestilens-only unit. Considering skaven's lack of war beasts or cavalry.

Let's hope not. CA is sitting on a gold mine here. If they don't release content after Warhammer 3 is finished like the Eastern Kingdoms, missing LLs, missing units, old faction rebalances and reworks, I'd be baffled. This could fuel their funds for years to come while they think of their next big title.

Special Heroes are definitely a thing, you have Knell (Krell?) for the Vampires and I know for a fact there is one other that I'm missing but I've seen it before. Also, technically, the Handmaiden is also a special hero but they are an entire subcategory.

You're referring to the Green Knight. While he is cool, he kinda sucks when he bails out on your army and turning that army into a 19 stack (i hate odd numbers), taking whatever you gave him away permanently (i mean, if he comes back again with those items it's still alright but he comes back with none) and leaving your army at a disadvantage especially if it was under siege or about to do combat. The Green Knight should be a reinforcement thing where they will reinforce every battle you have (at least that way he'll be more useful and you don't have to kick those poor battle pilgrims out in favour of the Green Knight).

Krell imo is alright. But what i would suggest CA add is letting us equip items on him. That's all. And maybe even give him a level progression and item unlock for him as well.

Until CA officially makes Legendary Heroes a thing, these oughta be the best we can see.
