The Old Realms mod has brought me back to Bannerlord, and though I’ve had occasional issues with it, it’s been so much fun. Truly the Warhammer experience I’ve been looking for. However, I’m a little confused? I want to join an army so I can get some levels fast and maybe get away with some decent gear. However, the game seemingly gives two options to join an army? One that says “I am hereby offering my sword” and another that says “I would like to enter the service of (insert name)”

When I do the first one, the response I keep seeing is “The Empire needs fresh blood, surely I have a use for you. Just note that I am not accepting any additional troops.” And the other option just ends up with me being told that they haven’t heard of me and that I need to beat up some bandits and then we can talk. And even when I do actually join an army, I don’t ever seem to get a promotion like the mods from the original Mount and blade give. I had been working for Elspeth Von Draken for like, ten major battles and never once got the option.

Is this just me not understanding how the mod works? Am I just dumb and finding out now that it doesn’t work like that in Bannerlord? Any help would be very appreciated!

Sorry if this is the wrong tag btw, just joined the Reddit.

I’ve just started collecting Custodes the other day with the Codex and a box of Wardens. And when I went online to see what else was available, I was blown away by the quality of the new models. They look absolutely gorgeous and it makes me glad I’ve decided to pick up this faction now that I’ve finished up my first. However, when I started showing off some of these new models to a friend who also plays Warhammer, he said that I couldn’t use them in 40K because they are Horus Heresy minis.

I figure that he must be mistaken because why would GW make Horus Heresy mini’s available in the 40K section if they can’t be used there? But I thought that I would ask about it here and see if someone could help me understand? Some of these units look amazing and I’d like to use them in my games, but I don’t want to buy them if I can’t use them, you know?
