Militsa Lushadoch Gmelin, Ice Witch lähetti viestin:

"Long ago, many Gospodar clans lived upon the Endless Steppe. Like today, it was a vast province and was lashed with the terrible energies of Chaos. The Gospodars were beset by all manner of foul foes, and the Daemon Gods offered surcease from these attacks if the Gospodars would but bow their head in worship. But the Gospodars were stubborn."

Hello there, us again for a first Warhammer 3 mod with a collaboration of Gunking, Calm, PaulH, ScribeUnited and meself ! This time we are aiming at reintroducing good old lore in the new Kislev CA proposed for game 3. You can find in the following the changes :


Sleds are here ! We’ve been working on retifying mounts for the Ice Court to make them more unique (no Bears or Wyrms) and aligned with what they should be :

• Katarin now has access to 3 mounts, a warhorse, her own War Leopard Sestra and her own Elks pulled sled ! She has access to both lores of Ice and Tempest, and being the current ruler, she's also getting the Kislev flag back ! Plus katarin dropped Frost Fang for her good old Fear Frost.
  
• Ice Witches now have access to 3 mounts, a warhorse, a generic War Leopard and an Ice sled
  
• Frost Maidens now have access to 3 mounts, a warhorse, a generic War Leopard and a Frost sled

The leopard mounts and the amazing sled models have been made by Calm.
This is fully compatible with my own Katarin more icy sled mod.


Our custom lore of hag (credits [HN] and Venris) has been cut to keep the new CA one, the Ancient Widow feature has been turned into a skill ability available middle game for Ostyanka and the hags.

Talking about the hags, only one variant still remains with the actual lore of hags and a new skills line, Mother O has also been renamed to Baba like in the original lore.


We found part of the take CA gave to Naryska a bit weird so we decided to maker her more about representing the Kislev nation with a complete set of new items :

• A sword given by the Ice Court
  
• A golden armour given by the Cult of Dazh
  
• A silencing shield given by the Cult of Ursun
  
• An electric talisman given by the Cult of Tor

She also doesn’t spawn with her items anymore, you’ll have to unlock them like any other character.



Some units have been renamed to match the lore better like Light War Sleds are now Oblast Sledges or War Bear Riders are now Sons of Ursun. A lot of those have been changed, and more will happen.


We've all been a bit shocked by the omnipresence of White bears in the game, so we decided to make additional variants with black, cedar and honey bears.



Tsar Guard

The Bokha Palace Guard is clearly not just more armoured Kossars, they have been remaned to Kreml Guards and the model has been reworked to look more elite. Plus a new unit has been added using Bardiches, which is their signature weapon in lore.



The 2 units of Tsar Guards have been renamed and reskins as Druzhina, groups of minor Kislevite nobels fighting for their queen. The models feature stereotypes of each parts of the Kislevite society.

Urugan Cannons

A new lore artillery unit has been added, the Urugan Cannons acting as a first tier before little grom.

Sleds

From the first trailer we found the ice under the selds a bit weird... So both light/heavy sleds and little groms had the ice swapped for skiis. Plus the light sled (Oblast sledge) now uses horses instead of bears.



Gryphon Legion

The gryphon legion horses have been reskined to the old warhammer colours, being kinda their trademark.



Kostaltyn

To make it different from Boris & Katarin, Kostaltyn now has a black bear mount instead of a white one.


The building icons like in the other games felt a bit generic, each level now have a unique icon. And talking about generic, the main 3 settlements are also being reworked with more loreful landmarks, namings and descriptions.


Few units, some rework, new lord and agent types.
