Slaves to Darkness as a mod

[Prometheus]

You know, Norsca is cool and all, but even though the warbands Slaves to darkness are in age of sigmar, I think it would've been nice to see them set up in Norsca's regions with a limited warband function with Skavens abandon settlement function now in game. So much more diversity in the unit roster. Anyone have any opinions?

Keep AoS out of Warhammer Fantasy please.

I'm sure they can take ideas from AOS but I don't want units from AOS or anything from that game in this. They should get some update later.

[Darth Wadewilson]

AoS is a separate thing with stuff that makes sense only in that universe. Thats the nicest thing I can say about AoS.

[Prometheus]

I know I know I'm not a fan of AoS either. Lore is a big thing in this game, just seemed a more befitting low key faction that made a little more sense in the grand scheme of things. Norsca doesn't have an official army anyway so I thought I'd throw the idea out there.

[Daddy Pudding]

There's definitely some units in AoS that would be more than at home in Fantasy.

Stormcast for example, don't work well at all in AoS, but plenty of the Nighthaunt units, Morathis snake ladies and those treemen with swords and bows would work very well on the roster, and thats only naming a few.

Being completely honest, whilst amazing rules and great lore, it suffered from a stagnation of imagination in including new units. I prefer middle fantasy to High fantasy, but hopefully when the rerelease of warhammer the old word happens, we'll see more AoS involved.

There are stuff that can be added to Norsca from the fantasy itself. Probably in game 3. It's not like CA abandoned them for lack of ideas. Other races took priority.

[Prometheus]

Yeah, skaven took massive priority for some reason. I know they have tried to update old world races too, but with the amount of money they make from all these DLC craptastic ethics, they should have several teams dropping anchor on multiple races that severely need an update.

Back to the original idea though, with multiple factions in Norsca, they could use that as the way to introduce the slaves to chaos that can be confederated, adding a slue of different units and styles of play. They are also as close as you can get to norsca seeing as they are a barbarian race as well. Norsca at it's current state is mainly monsters and feels kind of bland because they just aren't super effective. Other than the almighty mammoth.

What is the fear about it if it were to be in mod form?

[Kaaz]

thats the first time you've mentioned it as a mod and it cant be a mod since its not warhammer fantasy (anything not from the lore isn't allowed due to rules)

[Prometheus]

Is that for existing already created content made? Because I've seen plenty of non lore friendly units in mods.

Then this is not the topic for you. Go away.

if they are from another franchise then they shouldn't exist

I was talking about old world races. Not skaven. If you still want to jump on skavenbash train I don't know what to tell you.

Anyways no to AoS stuff. They won't fit here. And there is plenty of lore in fantasy anyways. So why bother borrowing AoS stuff?
