[2021] New weapons detailed, separate $5.99 DLC

See: https://steamcommunity.com/app/552500/discussions/0/3174449951083440449/

Alongside the release of Chaos Wastes we’re also releasing the Forgotten Relics DLC - a pack of five new weapons - one for each of the heroes (with some expected career limitations). The pack also includes four Chaos Wastes themed paintings to hang in your keep as well as a unique portrait frame. This pack will be available to purchase the moment Chaos Wastes goes live on Steam for $5.99. The weapons included in the pack are as follows:

The Trollhammer Torpedo for Bardin. Useful for controlling crowds and busting open armor.

A new Spear & Shield for Kruber. Perhaps not the greatest at dealing with a horde (leave that to the Trollhammer), but strong in a 1v1 with it’s high damage, fast attacks and the ability to strike whilst blocking.

A Moonfire Bow for Kerillian. Its basic attack sends out an arrow capable of starting fires at the cost of energy. On right click it has great range with a zoom, and offers a charged attack - also at the cost of energy. When the energy levels in the bow deplete it can be used no further, but recharges automatically when not being used.

The Griffonfoot Pistol for Saltzpyre. We teased this one late last year - it’s a lot like a sawed-off shotgun whilst similar to the Brace of Pistols, but trading long range for a projectile volley. Handy for groups of unarmored enemies.

And finally the Coruscation Staff for Sienna. This staff can shoot a volley of fiery rocks, or summon flame geysers that erupt from the ground or any surface it is cast (geyser size depends on the length of the cast). Handy for controlling crowds.

I thought there would be a catch. So the update is free but the weapons are DLC. Still a great deal though, will be a day 1 purchase for me.

Edit: I don't get why they went with the name Moonfire Bow instead of the Starfire Bow; they're both similar in function but on TT the Moonfire is supposed to be used against Forces of Order (like the Empire, Dwarfs, Bretonnia, etc.) and the Starfire is supposed to be used against Forces of Destruction (like Skaven, Warriors of Chaos, Beastmen, etc.)

"Moonfire shot is a type of enchanted arrow, of uncertain provenance. The moonfire bow, however, is a gift from Lileath, the Goddess of the Moon (Kerilian's patron) and likely has a very different character. After all, the Warhammer World has two moons, and one is certainly not so noble as the other.

Then again, who knows to what purpose Lileath intends the weapon to be set, once the pilgrimage is done? She is a goddess of three faces, and unguessable motives. Kerillian likely cares only that it kills, and does so very well indeed." /u/The_Tower_of_Stars
