The more I have been learning about AoS and general Warhammer fantasy, I’ve found more and more interesting information about the Seraphon. i just think it would be a fun ogryn-esque class for VT and i think it could also have very interesting different careers.

I can’t say anything about the Seraphon since I don’t know anything about AoS but I know that in Warhammer Fantasy a Kroxigor might be a fun idea but I don’t think it would mesh well with the lore.
In that regard an Ogre would be a better fit and to get Lustria into the game it might work better with an expedition to a ruined Lizardmen city in Lustria which has been overrun with Skaven.
But then again I thought that adding a necromancer as a PC choice would also break the lore, and they did that, so maybe a Kroxigor isn’t so far fetched as I think.

Kroxigor would indeed be quite difficult to have work as a character in a tide game.
- VA Work: Kroxigor are not able to learn Reikspeel
- Weapon selection: Quite small in general, and no known ranged one
- Lizardmen Enemity: Rarely do Lizardmen work alongside non-LM (Can happen as you have LM mercenaries in the Dpg of War.
Imo if they wanted to do a Kroxigor as playable, they’d have to either do all the character as LM (feasible imo, but only tide faction thst would work being Skaven again), or have the Kroxigor be a duo character à la Ferra&Tor (MK).
Having the Kroxigor be the PoV from a Skink on top of the Kroxigor, with most (>90%) being from it, with the Skink in turn taking the ranged part, maybe having it be a Skink Priest to enable it to have magic in their attacks.
seconding that Ogre mercenary would fit the established setup way better (but probably neither of them fit the maps unless they let them crawl around)
Too late for such a drastic change, there’d be too much work making it fit
Not yo mention narratively it makes no sense.
yeah, would be better to make new game entirely, and not neccesarily a tide one. Love VT2 and DT, but you got to have variety. Maybe one where we get to ride some of the fabulous beasties of the Warhammer fantasy universe? Our very own warhammer version of Mount and Blade, but now with eagles and Griffons.
A M&B style game in Warhammer Fantasy could be fun.
But right now we already have a mod to Bannerlords for it that seems to be working pretty well.
but can you fly in it?
I don’t think so, due to engine limitations and stuff like that which a non-modder like myself don’t understand much about.
That would be the equivalent of being able to play a monster (table top wise a Krox can go toe to toe with Rat Ogres, trolls and outclass Minotaurs). I am biased though, Lizardmen were the reason I got into warhammer (many decades ago).
However here’s a Krox for you to make up for not being in the game.
