    @NorscaWolves Рік тому +42

    The norsca rework needs to include an official reskin for the maurader units. They should be wearing furs, leather and plate considering they live in a land of perpetual snow and ice. They shouldn't be half dressed. It'd go a long way to making them more thematically appropriate and separating them from Warriors of chaos.
    The reskin and a heavy focus on their unique units like Skin wolves, Frost trolls and Mammoths. These are unique cool units that also help differentiate Norsca from WoC. The rework is desperately needed ASAP.

    • @shorewall
