Norscans are the race that makes up most of Chaos. They're barbarians and giants that have evolved and adapted to the frozen north. Those other Chaos factions in the game that aren't Chaos Warriors, the Varg and Skaelings and what-not, those are individual Norscan tribes.

Norse, Kurgans, and the Hung are various tribes that happen to live near the the crazy lands of Chaos.
The Warriors of Chaos can be thought of a crusading faction that recruits from all peoples across the world, but since these tribes are very close to this location, they make convenient candidates as most of them worship these Dark Gods.

TW: Warhammer was fun, but it has its glaring flaws, flaws I feel won't even be addressed in the second installment:
>Enemy armies blitz unwalled settlements, sacking and razing them for fuck all reasons even if they can occupy them
>Rome2 engine, fucking worst engine ever
>Enemy armies will legit stand 1 inch outside of your attack range, forcing you to chase them across the map
>No family tree, thus no wacky family antics like marrying onii~chan or two rambunctious brothers going to stir shit up in the holy land
>Empire implements an office system, but does fuck all with it. Imperial politicking is nonexistent
>Gunpowder units are objectively worse than bow / crossbow units due to firing arcs
>No small town siege fights
>Enemy AI is too fucking retarded to complete the autistically complex build order required for high tier units, thus only field low tier shit

I enjoyed Warhammer immensely, but it had a ton of stupid shit that frustrated me to no end. If CA doesn't fix this shit, I'll just pass on WH2 and stick to Stainless like I'm doing now.

Yes, they are just as much as Chaos as this guy who is not Norscan and is an Empire man who decided to follow Chaos, just like most Empire men who join Chaos become cultists/zealots, or Mages.

Maybe if they eventually continue it as a video game franchise or a specialist game.

Left is a actual Norscan who is a Chaos Marauder who wants to follow Chaos in hope of gaining favors from the Chaos gods so he can hopefully one day be a Chaos Warrior. Right is an actual Chaos Warrior, meaning he is past Norscan and is now simply a vessel of Chaos, So no and yes, Norscan, but no longer a being. The suit he is wearing is now infused on his body and he only lives to serve Chaos.

Holy fucking shit, they're actually doing it! Starting the game as a Norscan tribal chief, and then choosing whether to stay neutral, or leading your tribe into path of the ruinous powers by trekking your chief into the trials of Chaos into a champion or an everchosen.

Fuck, now I'm definitely going to try this out.
>>
>>386760859
no they don't, most people know nearly nothing about it. It's not like 40k where even talking about it makes people think about locking you up. But it's not generally talked about.
>>
>>386761047
Actually I should say Humans know next to nothing, Dwarfs and Elves talk about it a hell of a lot more.
>>
>>386760859
That's bullshit. You lose your personality only if you mutate into a chaos spawn due to too many failures. The ultimate reward is immortality through ascending to daemonhood, but even reaching the status of Chosen or an aspiring champion, let alone a chaos lord, already elevates you afar beyond ANY mortal.

Needles to say, Chaos is not a religion for those who thing they're going to fail.
>>
>>386760859
populace in 40k and fantasy doesnt know about chaos.

Besides, chaos gives you shit. Ordinary life doesn't.
>>
>>386760859
Stupid cultural customs of the Norscans maybe.

Norscans probably believe that it's a true honor to become a complete vessel to Chaos since many of the tribes believe in the Chaos gods.

But the ultimate achievement of Chaos is power. If you are favored to such an extent, you become an actual demon. But that is literally fucking impossible since you either never reach there, or you become a spawn.

This is sadly true. Somehow TWW still performs better than Attila on my pc though.

Yeah, this is definitiely irksome but you should get the home-region movement bonus mod to help with it.
>No family tree
Hugely disappointing, particularily for Brets and the Empire, but time doesn't really move "forward" beyond the events, there is no calendar to dictate age so this probably won't be solved.
>Politicking
Yep, very under-utilized.
>No small town siege fights
Can be solved by modded maps, while not "sieges" they usually get a custom settlement with a defensible position.
>Enemy AI
Yes and no, currently playing SFO and most of the armies in the late game seem to do decently. Just recently attacked Mousillon at turn 60 and the Red Duke's army was all graveguard, varghulfs and black knights.

Definitely not perfect, and we can't really say "mods'll fix it", but they definitely help.

>populace in 40k and fantasy doesnt know about chaos
No just the majority of 40k. Beastmen attacks, cultist, and norscan raids, mutations, witch hunts and demon invasions are all too common in the Empire, chaos is common knowledge. Its just that life isn't as shitty in the empire to attract that many followers in southern lands.

Longbows at waterloo would have been incredibly useful, i'll give you that. But that was because of the terrain, lack of armour of infantry and relatively short range of muskets/rifles at the time.

In terms of WHTW though, it's retarded to say crossbows/longbows are superior. Good fucking luck fighting chaos/dwarfs with crossbows.
>>
>>386762067
Peasants aren't typically well versed in history so they don't know much about previous invasions. They know chaos is a thing, and that northmen raid them and are connected, as are beastmen. But they couldn't name the gods or anything. And people care far more about greenskins because Chaos happens like once every hundred years maybe, Orcs and Goblins are always around.
>>
>>386762008
No they weren't that good you twat, and no they can't penetrate good plate armor as well.
The only reason England adopted them in mass is because they didn't have any funds for heavy crossbows and proper firelocks, so they capitalized on numbers. By the time of its hayday the longbow was already obselete.
By the time of the arquebuss
>>
>>386761930
That's mostly GWs writing though. The world building is done so they focus on the poster-boys but it's been a long time since the settings were established, they forget to give any sense of scale to their settings.

Like a lot of fans think Space Marines are super common good guy super hero types everyone in the Imperium knows about when really even most Imperial Guardsmen will never see one, most planets think they're mythical, literal angels and when they do turn up they basically wreck everything then fuck off.

It's not as simple as "joining" usually, to the regular barbarians the worship of the Chaos Gods often under different names is just plainly ingrained in their culture. Other times it's simply more appealing. Beyond demonhood, Khorne's champions basically go to Warhammer valhalla, in life, many of Nurgle's chosen cease to feel pain. Tzeentch can provide new insight and sorcerous powers, while Slaanesh promises endless (ever increasingly difficult to obtain) pleasure, and they offer more besides and their gifts manifest differently. What's not appealing, provided you know little or nothing of the downsides?

http://margo.student.utwente.nl/sagi/artikel/longbow/longbow.html but take this.

And even if they didn't pierce they have an insane amount of force, as I said the people using them were basically freaks. This is why no one else used them, no one else had quite the same culture which produced people who could pull fucking 90 lbs.

Early guns could fire maybe a single shot in the time longbowmen shot 6 or so, and they had more power and better range.

I'm British and I'll fucking stand by that claim.
We still won handily, but longbows would have been useful, assuming we could've trained enough regiments properly. (which in of itself would've been a pain)

Your fucking links are dead.
And still the longbows are still not that good.
It was effective at disrupting and routing lightly armored infantry but a full armored knight could look like a hedgehog but he would still be fine and uninjured. And the longbowmen weren't "freaks" they were professional soldiers trained and disciplined with slightly deformed skeletons due to a lifetime use.
Most of the Knight casualties in Agincourt was due to prisoner executions, and Crecy due to the undisciplined and uncoordinated french army.

Reread my post you stupid cunt, I wasn't saying we should have replaced all the muskets with longbows. I was saying a regiment of Longbows would have had good use given the circumstances. You'd still have have a front of line infantry, grenadiers and riflemen.

A depiction of an arrow going all the way through a person and into a horse doesn't stop being the case.

And no, the second link is fine.

Those studies have long since bee debunked.
>The longbow was the machine gun of the Middle Ages
Yeah no, its one of those studies that overblows observations and statements.
Try the Life and times of King Henry V for a more details.
It would go through horses because aiming at the less armored horses was they only chance to bring down a knight. And an arrow would go through a person but not through a man wearing full plate.

What comic is that?

>>386764787
10-12 rounds per minute is insane considering what it's contemporaries pulled.

>a book from the 70s debunks one from the 80s

It wouldn't punch through plate at 200 yards, but at closer distances yes, and arrows specifically made to fuck up people in armour without penetration existed.

There are studies that concluded that a 120 pound bow would not successfully go through plate, most that could be achieved is the arrow getting stuck on the plate, without damaging the subsequent layers of protection underneath. Draw weight doesn't transfer all the momentum on the arrow in flight. By the late 15th and Early 16th century plate armor was near perfected and metallurgy was good enough to manufacture massive amounts of firearms, that longbow became obsolete.

The longbow was already on the way out, they stopped because there just weren't enough people living that lifestyle any more.

What did Sulfuric do in the official canon, did he follow Archaon? I would think he would challenge him to a battle to the death.

>Sulfuric
fuck autocorrect, I meant Wulfrik

No, they were phased out because it was obsolete the English crown still had Royal Archers during the 1600's but it was more of a glamour position. The Longbows its actual hayday was during the late 1200's to early 1400's when armor development was not as good.

The Longbow was a good weapon but it wasn't the "machinegun of the middle ages" some older studies claim it was.
>>
>>386766565
But it was, because of it's rate of fire comparatively.

When you can shoot 10 for every 2 you're a machinegun by comparison. That's what people mean.
>>
>>386767013
They didn't shoot 10 every 2 seconds. Its was the thickness of the arrow volley not the rate of fire. Archery was a precise tool in battle very very rarely are the archers told to loose at will, they'd run out of arrows. Arrow Volleys are precisely timed and coordinated.

He wrecked shit as a regular norscan dude, said " I could totally kick the asses of the Chaos Gods themselves" and was basically cursed by them so that if he didn't cause the End Times he'd suffer for eternity

This DLC was already sweet the moment they showed the trailer for it.

And the update CA is going to give to other factions is also going to be sweet (Kemmler finally stops being useless with Krell finally making his debut...not to mention getting a skill tree that is all about buffing Krell).

Now I need only Kislev.
