The Ronin, a Bladelords of Nippon Prologue
Behind this pompous name is a teaser for the Nippon mod we’re working on. I’ll spare you the long explanations, here’s a summary:
What does it do?
The Red Ronin is a legendary hero that has a small chance to pop during your battles, as long as you’re not Chaos-aligned (that includes the chaos dwarfs, Norsca, skaven etc). You’ll be able to control him for the duration of the battle (or fight him for that one battle). Once the battle is over, he’s gone (along with some of your gold, unless he was fighting for the other side of course).
Is this loreful?
It is not. The Bladelords of Nippon mod will be a complete reimagining of Warhammer’s Nippon. I like to think it is lore friendly, but this means nothing as it varies from people to people.
A ton of lore has been written, but I don’t believe most people like to read walls of fan-made background, so for now I’ll spare you and let you watch the short trailer video instead, it should provide some broad concepts of what we’ve done.

Tutur for helping me make the lore and names meaningful and interesting, and convert the event videos
Nick for the Red Ronin’s voice (to be added later, but for now you can hear him in the trailer)

Ole for Asset Editor
Phazer (or whatever he goes by these days) for QTRME
Games Workshop for Warhammer
and, of course, Creative Assembly, for this amazing game, whatever quirks happened lately.
The list will be quite a bit more chunky for the actual Bladelords mod, I’m not looking forward to writing it down :p
