Greetings,

I searched the forum but cannot find any thread for Total War: Warhammer. So, I wanted to create one. (If there a thread, sorry. :))First of all, I wanted to share Total War: Warhammer release date, pre-order bonus, High King Edition, and Limited Edition contents. Of course we can share our thoughts too. :)

SEGA Europe Ltd. and Creative Assembly today revealed the Pre-order Bonus, High King Edition and Limited Edition for Total War™: WARHAMMER®, the game that brings to life the most comprehensive vision possible of the Warhammer Fantasy Battle world -Total War: WARHAMMER will be the first in an epic trilogy, supported with free and paid-for content post-release and is set to launch on April 28th, 2016.

Pre-order Bonus – Chaos Warriors Race Pack:

Those gamers who pre-order any edition from participating retailers will receive Total War: WARMAMMER’s first DLC for free alongside the game on release day. The Chaos Warriors Race Pack includes three new playable Legendary Lords, enabling you to select the corrupted and powerful Chaos Warriors as your race in the Grand Campaign.

Featuring unique new mounts, bloodthirsty units and monstrous creatures, this Race Pack also brings with it a brand new, narrative-driven quest chain for each Legendary Lord, and an armoury of twisted and cursed magic items.

To learn more about the Chaos Warriors, watch the new in-engine cinematic trailer:


The Total War: WARHAMMER standard edition is now available for pre-order from Steam.

High King Edition:


The Total War: WARHAMMER High King Edition will be produced in a single, extremely limited run.
Modelled on the legendary Book of Grudges, the High King Edition will ship in a large ornate presentation box, featuring metallic gold and 3D sculpted detail in the iconic Dwarfen style. Contained within is a host of treasures guaranteed to sate the gold-lust of the mightiest Dwarfen High King; including:

- Grudge Ring: This quality metal ring, with a rotating inner band is perfect to spin whilst brooding over grudges and plotting revenge. Six numbered bevels on the inner hoop allow the ring to double as a fully functioning die.


- Slayer’s Whetstone Pendant: Made of genuine, functional whetstone and inscribed with the talismanic Master Rune of Spite, this hefty trinket would be treasured and jealously guarded by any self-respecting Slayer, who aims to keep a keen edge on their blades.


- Dwarfen Drinking Horn & Stand: Toast your victories with this beautifully decorated drinking horn; wrought with icons and sigils in the Dwarfen craftsman style. Suitable for both display and practical use, it can hold a full pint and comes complete with its own unique metal display stand. Please note, liquid cannot be ‘sipped’ from this drinking horn, it may only be ‘quaffed’.


- Canvas Map: Plan your campaigns of conquest as any High King should with this gorgeously illustrated canvas map of the game world.

- Integrated Artbook: Integrated into the High King Edition’s impressive packaging is a large art book featuring exclusive concepts.

- Metal Case: Protect your game disks from the perilous dangers of the Old World with this exclusive metal case.

It's on "the list", assuming I get a copy. It has to contend with Mighty No. 9 and Mafia III though.

Currently $12 on Humble Bundle. It comes with around 6 more games at the end of the month. The DLC is extremely expensive, but getting the base game for $12 is a lot of value. I've been having fun with the campaign and siege battles.

I'm fan of Total War games but just bought Blood for the Blood God DLC. I may buy Realm of the Wood Elves DLC, but still not sure. :D

By the way, my friend bought the game from Humble Bundle as you mentioned. And he is happy person too. :p

I enjoyed the Total Wars as well, but these days they're releasing part of a game, and then releasing the rest, calling it "DLC".... really starting to annoy....

Countdown in Total War website. I'm thinking that this will be a next Warhammer expansion pack, or DLC which includes Lustria. Because if you look closely under the minutes column, you will see the building. And that building looks like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nqWR4fbgHRc/U12mc8aCy_I/AAAAAAAADHE/JvffgvvFZmM/s1600/Lustria+temple.png

https://comingsoon.totalwar.com/

I'm not sure of that but it maybe a new Total War: Warhammer game (I don't know why I said that. :D ). As you know that they are planing trilogy for Warhammer. Announcement: https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/192834/what-the-teams-are-working-on-17-03-2017/p1?new=1

These are just my thoughts. So if the next plan is not one of them, sorry for my bad predictions. :D

These are just my thoughts. So if the next plan is not one of them, sorry for my bad predictions. :D

Perhaps countdown to the announcement of the next installment of TW:WH? If I recall correctly they'll complete the whole thing in three separate games that will eventually form a coherent thing that covers all races of the Warhammer universe.

As far as I know the first 'game' is now feature complete when they released Bretonnia.

With regards to the DLC, I have been pissed off when they released their Beastmen pack (didn't buy it) but the Wood Elves pack was a really good one and in the end the number of paid DLCs is actually quite limited, if you put it all together up till now, it's an incredibly rich game for the total price. Also those races are entirely optional, if you don't fancy playing them, you don't need to buy that race but will still be able to face them in the campaign. I think its a pretty solid strategy and not an overly intrusive one either to the gameplay if you don't own everything.

I still find myself starting up another campaign from time to time, now trying my hand at Bretonnia which is the actual race I played on the tabletop game too :)

The meaning of the new TW: Warhammer game is just like you mentioned. I may mislead on there. Sorry. I was excited when I learned that for the first time. :D

Live stream countdown.

Or maybe just April Fools' Day. :D


Countdown is finished and here it is! Total War: Warhammer II.
