Creative Assembly has today announced that Norscans will be coming to Total War: Warhammer as a playable race on August 10, and will be free to those who pre-order the sequel, or purchase it in the first week.
More information on the Norscans can be found on Steam, which provides the following description: "In the far north, between the Chaos Wastes and the Sea of Claws, lies Norsca. A barren, inhospitable peninsula in the far north of the Old World, it is home to ferocious tribes of warriors, hardened by the relentless blizzards, the barren icy tundra and the monstrous denizens of this accursed land. Fanatical servants of the dark gods, they will stop at nothing to prove their primal might, in a relentless hunt for worthy foes and fresh raiding grounds."
The Norsca will include two new playable factions, new combat abilities, War Mammoths, and new Lord and Hero types, so it's definitely worth looking into if you're a fan of the game, especially since there's 10% off on Steam, so it'll only set you back £7.19.
