Content pack: Harald Hammerstorm — Update 3.1. Immortal Empires ownership
- Free-LC introduced with Update 3.1 for Warriors of Chaos. Warhammer III includes Be’lakor; Chaos Warriors Race Pack and Champions of Chaos unlock other Warriors of Chaos lords.
- The hero has no separate paid pack. CA Account linking is no longer required from patch 6.3 onward; recruitment still takes place through his campaign mission.
Recruiting Harald in Immortal Empires
Harald joins a Warriors of Chaos faction rather than leading a selectable campaign. Be’lakor’s Shadow Legion is one route; owning another Warriors of Chaos lord gives you a different campaign in which to pursue the same hero.
Watch for Harald’s recruitment mission as your faction leader develops and complete the objective in the mission panel. He has no independent starting settlement. Choose the army that needs his fighting strength once he joins.
A place in the fighting line
Use Harald to reinforce a melee engagement where your troops already have support. His Bane Shield retaliates against enemies that strike him, while the Hammer of Harry throws back those he hits. Those tools give him a reason to stay in contact with an enemy your army can contain.
Commit him alongside infantry and keep a route for the rest of the army to follow. A hero fighting by himself can be surrounded while the troops he was meant to support remain elsewhere. Against an enemy character, judge the surrounding fight before accepting a duel.
Harry the Hammer
Harald is also known as Harry the Hammer. His in-game biography tells of a northern warband trapped by an awakened undead army in a tomb-city, with Harald leading the breakthrough. That reputation explains his association with battles against the dead.
