The Uglies - Tamurkan chieftains

Description
Originally posted by Sayl the Faithless:
"Blind I am, who was once far in sight and swift in malice, cursed and punished to recount not mine own glory and mine own tragedies, but the glorious and terrible sagas of others who have born the blood blade of Champion before the great gods of Chaos. It is I, their chronicler, alone who may tell their tales, spilling their secrets with my viper's tongue and burning-venomed ink, for those with the wisdom to see and the wit to tell steel-edged truth from honey lie. Beware, for such knowledge is as treacherous as the path to greatness in the service of Chaos itself. Know then, that this is the saga of Tamurkhan, Maggot Lord, Son of the Great Kurgan of old, Favoured of Nurgle -- warlord, tyrant, canker-worm and false king. Tamurkhan the Great, Tamurkhan the Fool, pawn of prophecy and bringer of slaughter."



Hello there, me again playing Tamurkhan campaign and wondering why they didn't make all his lieutnants loreful. So here is an atempt :
  • Bubebolos has been given his appearence and banner from the Tamurkhan book cover, texture by GunKing
  • The chaos warrior chieftain has been lorefully renamed Orhbal Vipergut and given him and his dragon a unique reskin, dragon texture by GunKing
  • The werekin chieftain has been changed to the sorcerer Sayl the Faithless, kind sharing of the SCM team (HKrul, R1kko and Wert), he is coming with his own model, acolyte, skills and mount
  • The generic bray shaman has been replaced by The Harbringer from the ET timeline, he seemed a good candidate, model from Beasts Most Fools thanks to Theakrus

Screenshots by Matthew39 of course.



For the rest, the Fimir is a long stretch from CA and the Chaos Dwarf might need a change, we'll see :)

That is a fair point, it's a 50/50 split on sorcerers and melee right now. It's your mod of course, and it's been long since I've tried doing a submod but I could take a shot at it when the time comes. It shouldn't be too hard, I imagine.

I was going to suggest doing a full retool of the Fimir section, like replacing the Fimir units with Ogre ones if there's an Ogre chieftain and bonuses for them to fully lean into that theme. I guess in my mind it's go big or go home, either Fimir or Ogre (and I do miss not having bonuses to Ogres given Tamurkhan's theme) but I realize that'd be a lot more work on your part than simply replacing the Fimir hero with an Ogre one.

If I have the time I'll try doing that submod, and perhaps even contact you for assistance in making sure it's as lightweight and unbuggy of a negation as possible if you have time to spare when it's updated.

I ear you and understand your point of view. But I both don't feel that the Fimir hero matches his lore or that he needs again an other caster. He's already getting Sayl and the shaman. I'd rather have a melee hero that brings former mountain creatures with him. You can still make a submod that negate my changes I guess :)

Tbf there's no Ogre chieftain mentioned by name left over from the Red Fist tribe in his lore either, since he himself is their new leader in body and status. I know others support the addition, but it just would be weird to me to be getting Fimir units from an Ogre chieftain that didn't exist in Tamurkhan's lore, and needless overlap with Tamurkhan himself to boot.

A Fimir sorcerer was never in his lore, but it's also not far out of the realm of possibility given his encounters with them and the great horde he amassed, as well as the Fimir's attempts to rekindle the attention of the Gods.

I won't continue to yammer on, as I've made about as good of a case for keeping the Fimir hero as I can I think. But I appreciate that you've at least considered what I've said, regardless of your final decision. :)

I would keep the units, Fimir are not part of Tamu lore at all, except some mysterious encounter in the mountain fogs, where they are not even named.
