We've got the Total Warhammer Trilogy, which expands the campaign map, but we're also getting free content updates and DLC within those to fill out the details.

http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War:_WARHAMMER_Future_Content_Blog

>We’re planning full game follow-ups, DLC content packs and Free-LC to follow the main release. These will include new playable Lords, units, races and more. We’ll talk about these in time, but for now, our focus is on crafting a deep, rich and content-heavy main game.

>Future instalments of the trilogy will expand the world-map, bringing unique new terrain and introducing new playable Lords and their races. We’re planning these to be massive standalone follow-ups to the main game (like ATTILA to ROME II). You’ll be able to get just these and play them on their own if you like or, if you have the main game too, you’ll eventually be able to play across an expanded campaign map that includes all available areas of the Old World.
>>
>>48263826
No, a Russian leak of the game files shown that the two additional games are map expansions with their own unique areas. It seems that the second game will have Lizardmen, High Elves and Dark Elves with naval battles. The third game will have Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh along the Daemons of Chaos.

The other races will be single player expansions in dlc with free dlc alongside each one (except Bretonnia, they will be a free faction).

For the first game, it will be Beastmen, Wood Elves and Bretonnia and maybe Skaven.
>>
>>48263763
That looked strangely unpolished.
>>
>>48263966
They insist on making all of their trailers within the engine of their RTS game, that's why.
>>
>>48263883
That better not be the final map

It's cutting out all the southlands, most of lustria and half the tomb king cities
>>
>>48263920
What about the tomb kings and ogre kingdoms?
>>
>>48263982
Yeah, but even then the Karl Franz, the Orcs and the Chaos ones were a lot more polished than this. It's like they also set details to medium or laid off some post-production.
They always put the "work in progress" disclaimer, but this one actually looks like a WIP. Like not everything has been rendered properly yet.
But seeing as this is an unlisted vid apparently it may be true.
>>
>>48264043
That's the final map of the current vanilla game.
>>
>>48264043
The southlands and most of lustria is empty and useless, as far as I can see all of the Tomb Kings is there though.
>>
>>48264049
DLC somewhere down the line. All armies that had 8th edition rulebooks will be in the game.
>>
>>48263966

Can't say I agree, thought it looked pretty damn cool.

I just find it a shame that the game doesn't play anything like how the trailer shows. I'd like abit more variety in the battle types. Straight up pitched battles got abit boring after awhile.
>>
>>48264049
They will be dlc but which game they will end up in is unknown but I predict it will be the second game. Don't worry though, everyone will make it in (even Chaos Dwarfs).
>>
>>48264106
Chaos dorfs are likely gonna be in the same thing as the ogres. They both live in roughly the same area I think
Oh, and BRETTONIA WHEN?
>>
>>48264096
>All armies that had 8th edition rulebooks will be in the game.
Beastmen never had an 8th ed book.
>>
>>48264081
Honestly it looks a bit like Rasetra and Ka Sabar are cut off and those two cities were important just because they are in constant war with the southlands lizardmen

So putting them in without southlands sucks and so does giving tomb kings the ultimate corner camp that surpasses the shit Orcs have right now
>>
>>48264121
Bretonnia will be free and in the first game. Have to wait for it though but the expanded roster and campaign playability will be kickass.

This game in my opinion is truly Warhammer Fantasy 9th edition.
>>
>>48264121
Brettonia is already like 95% done - some mods have already made it playable just by changing a couple variables in the game's code. It will be released as free content sometime after the beastmen expansion, most likely.

>Alongside the Call of the Beastmen Campaign Pack, another free content update will introduce a brand new Lore of Magic and an accompanying Hero unit for The Empire. Perhaps the most rarely seen of all Wizards, the solitary Amber Wizards are no less powerful than their more prevalent counterparts. Wielding the deadly Lore of Beasts they are able to perform unique feats of magical power, from enchanting their allies with impenetrable pelts to summoning a manticore from the bowels of the earth.

Yeah, they did that because of the shit storm locking them as preorder DLC as they initially announced had caused.
I'd rather buy games when they're complete. Fuck the cut-out preorder culture.
>>
>>48264337
They were literally never locked as pre-order only dlc, get your head out of your ass and learn the difference between pre-order bonus and pre-order dlc

Plus they literally had to hire an extra full dev team to get chaos in for the pre-order because so many people were demanding it in before the dlc announcement trailer

I think the 3 LL is for the DLC factions, since CA has said they aren't all the comfortable making DLC for their DLC. Their blog about DLC says they will be releasing lord packs, which gives you two new LL, a new unit for the faction, and a unit of renown(IE specific knightly orders).

One of their employees, Darren, streams some. He is a source of a lot of leaks, but he is currently working on the historical title. He still does some work on TWW(he was the one that leaked it will be beastmen because he didn't rename a photo before he posted it to facebook). He said that CA is really confused about DLC right now. During Atilla, they got a lot of flak over releasing DLC so soon after release, but they are getting a lot of flak over waiting. So who knows what they will actually do in the future.

That's the main issue. It's hard as fuck to start up a second horde and if your main one gets offed, you're FUCKED. And it takes FOREVER to fucking get a new horde off the ground. AND it's a pain to trade units cause your armies suffer unremovable attrition when near each other (Which also means no reinforcements)
>>

Shortly before Age of Sigmar stops production
>>
>>48265594
Oh, I thought you meant the OP pic.

Whoops.
>>
>>48267066
It is possible to get reinforcements, but you really need to think a few turns ahead to minimize the time hordes spend next to each other. The general ability that reduces attrition helps.

Horde growth is a bitch, though the real problem is recovery. You're pretty much forced to merge units and buy new ones after every battle if you want a full stack, since the only way to get any decent recovery as Chaos is to camp awakened territory in the north.
>>
>>48264053
If you actually look hard enough, you'll find two videos of the Vampire Counts trailer floating around on youtube, the official one, and a early linked one, and the quality difference is quite notable, so there's a good chance tomorrow when the actual trailer is, you'll see some improvements.

Though personally I really liked the trailer, only bad part was the close up of the Empire generals face showing how his beard was one solid mass and how off that looked.

Even with a mod doubling recovery and letting you encamp after a full move (But not a forced march) it's STILL sometimes better to just merge units and buy new ones.

Nah, it's not hope and optimism, just delusion.

AoS isn't doing as bad as some would like to believe considering the recent Sylvaneth models sold out and I believe the Ironjawz experienced something similar before them. I doubt it's simply because they didn't print many either.

Seems like Total Warhammer wasn't that great for model sales either considering that GW dropped trying to sell people models from the game after all of around two weeks. Though I suppose people will try to claim that if they had the original names they'd magically sell better.

I wasn't talking about the game selling models for AoS, I was talking about how Total Warhammer was supposedly going to draw tons of people in and single-handedly revive Fantasy. Guess that didn't happen because, surprise surprise, they already paid $60 for a better version of Fantasy.

>>48287288

You're under the assumption that I really give a damn about Fantasy coming back, I don't. I don't necessarily care about AoS surviving either, but I will point at when it isn't realistic.

It's honestly even really hard to feel bad for the Fantasy people since for every one person that shares a story you can empathize with, there are five others online still showing themselves to be salty as fuck a year later and seemingly trying to sustain themselves on being critical of AoS in piss poor ways instead of devoting that time to something more productive or enjoyable.
>>
>>48287624
>Guess that didn't happen because
Because there was no Warhammer Fantasy model range to buy? The very few models advertised alongside the game (Freeguild General or whatever they called Karl Franz) sold out and were 'technically' Age of Sigmar models anyway so their sale got lumped in with that.
>>
>>48287655

The Empire range barely got touched, the only thing missing being the Reiksguard and the special characters which couldn't be turned into generics.

Dwarfs again were for the most part untouched, losing a few more units than the Empire and their special characters.

Vampire Counts lost nothing

Orcs and Goblins don't appear to have lost much off the top of my head, mostly special characters.

Warriors of Chaos is pretty much intact, losing the Forsaken and maybe some special characters.

If someone wanted to build a Fantasy army for any of those races the parts are all very much there, just split up over AoS factions.

That they'd possibly be lumped under AoS sales doesn't really matter and actually ignores that GW selected at least nine models to be tagged with the Total Warhammer line. If thise specific set of products sold in great numbers than I'm sure someone at GW would have taken notice and not merely filed it under AoS.

As I've stated, according to various proponents Total Warhammer was supposedly going to bring droves of people to Fantasy and make GW regret scrapping it. From the results it doesn't look like that happened at all. Yeah, Fantasy technically being dead probably played a part, but there are still people playing 8th Edition, 9th Edition, KoW, and other spinoffs.

Basically it boils down to the fact that Fantasy as is was a bloated beast that was never going to attract new players when it felt and looked like you had to make a commitment and couldn't just dabble. Total Warhammer further made the game unappealing with its convenience. For $60 you've already gotten four or five armies of untold size with the models all prettied up and mods available to change them, gameplay equal to or better than what the tabletop offered, and the ability to play multiplayer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No game store, game club, game table, terrain, etc, required.
>>
>>48287774
I google Warhammer Fantasy what do I see? A dead setting and something called Age of Sigmar. Nothing has the names I'm familiar with, nothing is like the game I just played.

I shrug, I give up, I go back to the game.

The fact is GW only marketed about five specific models alongside the game, and they weren't advertised under the in-game names. That's going to have an effect on curious people. Even if these models do sell, they are part of the Age of Sigmar range under GWs definition, and their sales will be gathered into that and called 'Sales for Age of Sigmar', not Warhammer Fantasy.

You are being disingenuous.

Nine actually.

>Arachnarok Spider
>Karl Franz
>Luminark of Hysh
>Gyrocopter
>Varghulf
>Kemmler
>Mannfred

Of course about half of those had different names, but considering that the in game models were largely based on the actual models, a smart person should be able to put 2 and 2 together.

>You are being disingenuous.

Why? Because I'm giving decent evidence that Total Warhammer was a failure in reviving Fantasy as a miniature game?

That was the last great hope for many and by now they've probably accepted that they're stuck with 8th, one of the fan editions or KoW, and Total Warhammer and its sequels.

Mortals give themselves to Chaos.
Beastmen are the children of Chaos.
They actually have a much deeper understanding of Chaos than most mortal followers. They are not as easily awarded as mortals, as they have now free soul to wager with, but they can still earn the favour of the goods. They are alot more likely to go undivided though.

Its alway been somewhat implied that raping occurs.

Occasionally they do that, there is a story in the armybook that ends with a Damsel dragged off into the woods and a fate best left unsaid. It is not that common though, sparing use and it happening to powerful individuals instead of all random peasants has more impact.

Beasts are about destruction, ruination, corruption an despoiling all.

All that is made, be it society, structures or anything, all must be destroyed.

They could reproduce with humans but that would be expected of them, instead they'll do it to one a girl and let her be found and brought toa safe city or castle, only to have the fetus tear its way out and slaughter the kindly family, unbar the gates and let his kin inside.

It's funny how you can't have a coherent argument: You argued that GW is ' a tiny niche hobby' which it is clearly not measured by the number of their customers. It doesn't have to beat the sales of the most popular video games to be more than a tiny niche hobby. The franchise sells well to the mainstream audience in its current form already.

Warhammer is a sausagefest, being about war and all that it's easier to find husbandos than waifus as the characteristics for the first intersect better with the setting than the second's; crazy warlike waifus are not as good as crazy warlike husbandos, but if you're into that the dark elves offer morathi and hellebrone, the trees drycha and other dryads, chaos has daemonettes and Valkya.

Anyway, we could have the Tzarina, Elspeth, the few good elves (alarielle, the sisters of twilight and random rank and file anons), undead still have to offer khalida, Isabella and Neferata.

But in the end the waifus (or daughterus) will come from where you don't expect them

Humans generally don't use women in wars so it makes sense for Empire to not have many girl heroes. Southern nations do have shitloads of priestesses though since the Christianity equivalent in Warhammer is a religion with a goddess and mainly female clergy. And Empire has Sisters of Sigmar just to name the few.

Wizards should definitely have female models though. Just like there should be female vampire lords. And male vampires.

Player should be allowed to decide what he's fielding, not be forced to field bald dudes.

Word is that it was explicit in early editions (Pre-WFRPG 1e), but they toned it down over time.
