Idea for Nippon in game 3

NamelessXIII

My idea for implementing Nippon in game 3:

Campaign: To reach the apex. Venture to the realm of the evil gods and show them there is nothing the blade of a samurai can not cut. This will be a horde campaign, the lord leads an expedition force from the eastern steep through ogre kingdom, Zharr-Naggrund, Norsca and eventually into the chaos waste. Defeated settlements along the way becomes your vassal, and taking the capital of enemy faction grant a instant shipment of reinforcements. At various intervals you will run into other nippon factions, and has the option of a battle (enable confederation), trade (grants income and replenishment) and discuss tactics (allow you to field additional armies)

Faction characteristics: Melee centric faction with multi-purpose infantry and strong cavalry

Legendary lords:
Nobunaga the demon:
Hybrid lord with the lore of shadow, has cursed sword muramasa, can ride a Kirin or on a throne carried by four Oni like thorgrim

Nippon is a wanted race of mine. I approve of this.

ROMOBOY#7812

GW let so much potential go to waste.

Looks like someone thought the flag button was the dislike button

Bloodydagger#9716

Ninjas? I'm sold.

Natron

Wow this is a very good idea for a nippon race pack!

You forgot Kitsunes they are very powerful creatures who can shapechange and poses humans, there is tons of material so sad that GW never made it.

Here is a pic of Tamamo no mae one of the most powerful Kitsune in ninetails form and human form as you can see you need a army for this thing:




and yes I know its hard to talk about that without thinking of naruto cringe

I want this already. Hopefully in a few years, CA will have the go signal to flesh out and release race packs like this.

DeadpoolSW#7283

Love the army list, hate the horde idea.

davedave1124#4773

I think the rule should be, if you don’t need to use a horde - don’t.

They can also have peasant units. Handgunners and Cannons, and Chinese Dragons.

Clearly it would be impossible for CA to create Cathay or Nippon, there is just not enough detail in the GW army books. How could they ever come up with images or assign states? I mean do they even have any experience in games with Chinese or Japanese elements?

This would clearly be beyond the capabilities of CA. I mean could they even find a cultural advisor in the world to help? Nope this would be impossible.
