Total War: WARHAMMER

Chaos Warriors Pack will now be free for all those who purchase the game within the first week of release!

Also some Chaos Warrior gameplay!

Yep, good step by Sega. Also I think Bretonnia are free too, so look out for them.

Looking forward to this, getting back into fantasy atm and very annoyed to find GW shafting all the old armies in favour of Age of Sigmarines, anyhoo, TW looks promising.

Totally agree, I'm kind of unhappy they decided to go with Age of Sigmar. You would have thought that with this coming out that GamesWorkshop would have been putting out new stuff for Fantasy. Still praying for Chaos Dwarf faction in a later expansion.

The Chaos Warrior update was fantastic, as it shows that CA believes that their game is excellent and believes their game is basically good enough to not bait consumers into preordering for content.

Blood for the Blood God (Blood Pack DLC)!

Faction list was Data Mined the other day.

Supposedly shows the factions that will be in game by the time all DLC and factions come out.

All info taken from Total War Warhammer forums:

What can it tell us? It can tell us what factions CA planned to add and in roughly what order at some point prior to the game's official launch. Given CA's statements that the list is out of date and that their plans have expanded, my guess is that we will be getting more than what we have listed, so the numbering may end up being off. For example, we may get two DLCs between the Beastmen and Wood Elves, but in all likelihood the rough order will probably be pretty close. We may get more Campaign packs as well, but there's no way to know that beyond the information we have for Beastmen and Wood Elves. So...



*****!!POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!*****



PART I - The pre-existing factions:

You'll notice suffixes at the end of some faction names. "_qb#" indicates a copy of a faction used in Quest Battles, not necessarily a faction with quest battles. Factions that have at least one "_qb#" are not necessarily going to be playable, but it's a pretty good indicator that factions lacking quest battle copies were not planned to be made playable at the time the list was made. The "_rebels", "_separatists", and "_waaagh" suffixes are self-explanatory.

Also note that there are no "DLC##" prefixes for either Chaos or Bretonnia. This is because those factions are already on the map and coded into the game, even though Chaos was the first DLC and Bretonnia will be made playable later.

PART II - The first two Race / Campaign Packs

BEASTMEN - DLC03

Based on the naming conventions, we can see here that the Beastmen were planned to be the third paid DLC for the game. The "_qb#" suffixes have returned to show us that there will be quest battles featuring Beastmen and some other factions, but we have some new prefixes and suffixes to look at. First, "_mini_". This likely indicates a faction that will be appearing in a mini-campaign. My guess is that the Greenskins and Empire factions that are part of this DLC are likely part of the Beastmen mini-campaign as well. Given that only GS, Emp, and Beastmen faction appear, it's likely that the mini-campaign focuses on a region around the Empire. There are two Bretonnia "_qb#" factions as well, indicating that at least one of the Beastmen's quest battles will probably be against the Bretonnians.

Probably the most interesting addition is the "_brayherd" suffix. This seems to be something akin to the Greenskins' "_waaagh", but it could also be related to a completely new, unheard of mechanic unique to the Beastmen.

Because Khazrak's herd has both "_rebels" and "_separatists", it seems that his is the playable Beastmen faction in the mini-campaign. It's likely that one Empire and one Greenskins faction are also playable, but we can't say which based on this alone. Maybe a lore expert could step in and point to one being more likely than the others?

WOOD ELVES - DLC05

After the Beastmen Campaign Pack we'll get at least one other paid DLC, then we should have the Wood Elves Campaign Pack. Here, the "_mini_" is more obvious because we can clearly see some factions that are on the map already will also appear in the WE's mini-campaign. Note also that we have some Bretonnian factions that are not on the map already that will appear in the mini-campaign. It also appears that Morghur will be a prominent villain for the Wood Elves in their mini-campaign. It's possible that he will be the Beastmen's third Legendary Lord, coming as either an FLC when this drops, or as an added bonus for those who buy both packs.

There appears to only be one Wood Elves faction for the main campaign, but the "_durthu" looks like it may be a tree-people army that they have to contend with (for control of Athel Loren?) This could be an indicator of a new type of Regional Occupation, but I'm not completely convinced that is the case, and with the limited information we have I don't think anyone can say for certain.

None of the Wood Elf factions in the mini-campaign have rebels or seperatists with the "_mini_". This could either be related to a feature of these factions in that particular campaign, or they could simply use the same rebels and separatists factions as the main campaign. Morghur is likely playable, as well as one GS and one Bretonnian faction, but again I'd have to defer to someone better-versed in lore to say which is most likely (though I'd love it if I could get some Bohemond Beastslayer action in).

PART III - All the Rest

From here on out the list has much less information. We don't have any more mini-campaigns or minor factions listed. While this could be taken as an indicator that there will not be any more mini-campaigns, I think it's more likely that this is the portion of the list that is out of date. The absence of minor factions listed alongside factions that will necessitate a larger map is a pretty good indicator that from here on out the list is incomplete and contains only the planned major factions and their rough release order.

The Race Packs!

The Tomb Kings, Chaos Dwarfs and Ogre Kingdoms will likely all require the map to be expanded. This meshes well with the leaked map from the game that seemed to show what the entire map will look like at the end of the trilogy. It's possible that we may not see Araby at all, given that it's missing, but I think it's more likely that DLC this far out was not planned out solidly enough to list all of the minor factions they may or may not include.

In the case of map extensions, I could see CA releasing the map extensions as FLC with limited versions of the new races' rosters as AI opponents, but it's just as likely that they'll be part of the paid DLC as well.

The First Expansion!

Okay, so pretty much everyone and their mother guessed that one of the expansions would bring these three factions along with the Naggaroth, Ulthuan and Lustria. This also fits the leaked map from before. I was a little dismayed to see no reference to the Amazons, but again, due to the lack of any minor factions whatsoever, I think it's more likely that the list just excluded minor factions that would be so far out from the initial release of the game.

The Second Expansion!

This is the expansion that is most boggling. If each expansion is meant to be stand-alone, where would this take place? Could it be the Realm of Chaos or the Chaos Wastes? Either way it seems odd that one of the expansions would contain nothing but Chaos factions. This leads me to believe that whatever this expansion is, it is likely that it will come with big changes, updates and new mechanics that will affect the earlier titles. Honestly though, your guess is as good as mine.
