I hope so. We're missing a Norsca playable lord for the vortex campaign and it would likely provide some much needed conflict to Ulthuan and Naggaroth.
Now, if only we could have ToB style naval invasions on coastal settlements, it would really make Norsca fun.
1. Norscans only have proper Settlements in Norsca 2. Norsca is not on the Vortex map 3. Norscans don’t make sense to be on the Vortex map

These are 3 provinces. Have fun if that’s all you can get as proper settlements...
Just my two cents, Vampire Coast had 1 province before the Vampire Coast DLC...
I think that's more of a misreading as it's that Norsca can only settle those provinces while the Vampire Coast doesn't have that race restriction in either version (Vampire Count placeholder and Vampire Coast race.
Though TBh I think the Beastmen are more likely then Norsca for a race touch up after the Wood Elves.
Ah, I forgot that part. Thanks. Ignore my comment then!
Races I'd like to see, in order of preference: Chaos Dwarfs, Southern Realm/ DoW, Araby, Nippon, Hobgoblin Kharnate, Kuresh, Ind.
I very highly doubt that we're getting a race rework and LP for a DLC race as the preorder. That would be incredibly lame and CA knows it. It's not much of an incentive to purchase the third game by selling you a lord pack for a race that we've had for years now (by the way, a race that should've been complete from the beginning).
I firmly believe it will be a new race for the preorder.

Yes and they can settle everywhere. Norsca can only settle in Norsca and build those little outposts in port settlements.
Don't forget settling in racial capitals.
Yeah would still be extremely limited. But anyways, I doubt Norsca will be added to the Vortex map, so this discussion is pointless 😂
I was thinking more of just 1 vortex map based norscan lord having more access to on-the-go recruitment like a semi-horde. The global recruitment for units feels extremely punishing on the larger map size and would so too for the Vortex.

Thanks for the detailed response, you raise some very good points, these issues should definitely be addressed, with or without DLC

3. Empire never had settlements in Lustria 4. Empire never was on Vortex map 5. Empire don't make sense to be on Vortex
Yet, we got Hunter and Beast. So I would never say something make no sense with CA. That ship sunked long ago.
not to forget there are already like 3 Norscan factions placed on the votrex map, skeggi at lustria, skaeling at the north east of Ulthuan, Mung north side of naggaroth... way more then the empire had. although i love to see more lords and LL for Norsca cause they are one of my favorites BM and WoC need more love then Norsca right now. but did see a good point that chaos corrupted land would do way more damage to non-chaos factions which in turn would help Norsca alot aswell. the chaos wake-a-mole is so annoying
Norsca doesn't need a rework, just another LL, generic Lord, and maybe a handful of new units. Basically it can be the side of a Lord pack that doesn't get the rework and will be right as rain. Its mechanics are great as they are. I'd argue the roster is also more or less complete, but perhaps they could get a mid-tier heavy infantry, higher tier spears and a couple agile monsters or something.
My personal small wish would be a unique model for the Frost Wyrm so it's not just a Chaos Dragon that someone forgot in the fridge.

The difference is that the Empire can settle everywhere while Norsca can only settle in Norscan settlements. Comparing them makes no sense.

Like so many other topics. But at least it offers an outlet for frustration caused by what could have been. From a story point the Vortex and Chaos go hand in hand and even without the inevitable campaign map additions that would have come with a Norscan DLC there would still have been room and a place for at least one Norscan LL.
With the likes of Queek, Ikit, Tretch, Teclis, Imrik, Malus, Lokhir,Arkhan, Khalida and several others placed somewhat unfamiliarily on either the Vortex map altogether or just in terms of exaxt location I don’t see a problem with a Norscan entering the fray.
But yes. As of now it does indeed not matter because it seems more or less certain not to happen.

well actually empire couldnt aswell in warhammer 1. but for some reason CA changed that with game 2 mortal empires, still not sure if that was the right decision though...
Norsca right now only has two legendary lords and one generic lord.
No other race in the game has as few lord options as Norsca currently.
Besides, as others have pointed out Norsca, is one of the wh1 races that makes more sense in the vortex campaign, where there is already several Norsca subfactions.
It is important to note that Norsca lorewise interact and come into conflict a lot with both Hell pit and the dark elves fleets, which is quite important because those two races are both probably going to get another dlc to put them at 6 legendary lords like HE and lizardmen.
So a dlc of Norsca vs any of those two races makes a lot of sense.
I personally believe Ca is going to opt for Valkhia as new dlc lord for norsca.
I think thematically she fits perfectly the faction, and with all her valkyria fluff, I bet she is probably goign to come with some new and flashy shield maidens /valkyriasn units. Thy could come up with some sort of legendary fimir or shaman caster lord as the flc.
Another reason why I believe this a perfectly possible scenario is that not so long ago Ca Duck said in another thread there were going to come a lot of females character or units.
Regarding those Norsca events. It certainly makes no sense for you to get them while running around inside the Empire with your army. They should be bound by region, not by faction. Why should a Norsca get an event while running around Middenland, but a Couronne at Longship Graveyard doesn't get any?

My thinking exactly. As I said, unlikely but worth considering.

Absolutely, I mean Ghoritch was a norscan warlord who was left to clan moulder as punishment, there's definitely conflict there.
They certainly seem more fitting than beastmen to me, but I'm sure someone could correct me on that.
The one thing that still makes beastmen more likely is that they absolutely need a rework while Norsca is mostly fine.

Valkia would certainly be a good choice, she is khorne specific but I don't see why she couldn't have her own mechanics to make up for that.

Norsca DLC would be amazing in TW:WH3 I need Beastmen fixed and renewed, they have loads of interesting things to add. Most of all major overhaul is needed.
