Meet the warring Races of the New World — Skaven

Command one of five imperious Races from Warhammer Fantasy Battles, and mount a campaign of conquest to save or destroy the New World of WARHAMMER II.

The Skaven are large humanoid-rat creatures from the Under-Empire, a realm of countless underground tunnels stretching beneath the whole of the New World. They are cruel and treacherous, and in thrall to their God, the Great Horned Rat, who teaches that all things must rot!

Skaven society is treacherous and celebrates those with the cunning to outmanoeuvre and kill, friend and foe alike. They are nonetheless unified in a single cause: to conquer the surface world and bring about the Great Ascendancy, where they will swarm across the face of the earth in a seething tide of violence and anarchy.

There are three Skaven clans, each led by a different Legendary Lord with their own quests and abilities.

  • Clan Mors — led by Queek Headtaker, a greatly feared Warlord
  • Clan Pestilens — led by Lord Skrolk, who channels the power of the Great Horned Rat
  • Clan Rictus — led by Tretch Craventail, a cunning chieftain

Total War: WARHAMMER II brings its legions of Lizardmen, Dark Elves, High Elves, Skaven and Tomb Kings to macOS and Linux later this year.

It’s the Eye of the Tigress: Bhashiva — Character Pack Out Now for Total War: WARHAMMER III on macOS and Linux

A new challenger approaches the Old World’s Maelstrom of conflict and chaos!

The Bhashiva Character Pack introduces a new Legendary Lord to the Grand Cathay. The Tiger Warriors are a proud, ancient martial culture, and sworn allies of the Dragon Lords of Cathay.

Ruling from the Tiger Court, their Lord is Bhashiva, a duellist built to cut through infantry and enemy Heroes alike — striking hard and fast with flame-imbued attacks.

If you own Total War: WARHAMMER or WARHAMMER II, but you’ve not yet purchased the WARHAMMER III base game, the Bhashiva Character Pack also unlocks the Grand Cathay faction for use in the Immortal Empires Campaign.

Today also sees the release of the free Update 8.0 for Total War: WARHAMMER III on macOS and Linux. Head to the Total War blog for all the details, but don’t miss Taoyan the Merciless — the free Legendary Hero. A favoured general of the Iron Dragon, she can be recruited by any Grand Cathay Legendary Lord. Specialised in slaying fearsome single-entity beasts, she is an asset to any faction who win her loyalty.

Update to 8.0 today, and head to the Steam Store to add the Bhashiva Character Pack to your collection for $4.99 / £3.99 / 4,99 €.

Glad Tidings We Bring — Tides of Torment Sweep Total War: WARHAMMER III on macOS & Linux

Tides of Torment are rising on macOS & Linux, with the release of the latest DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER III!

The High Elves, Slaanesh and Norsca all see their rosters expanded, with three new Legendary Lords, a host of battle units, thematic mechanics and narrative arcs in the Immortal Empires campaign:

  • AISLINN, THE SEA LORD: a ruthless and tactically brilliant High Elf prince who commands the entire navy of Ulthuan.
  • DECHALA, THE DENIED ONE: the most feared warlord of Slaanesh’s legions, and is as mesmerising as she is merciless.
  • SAYL, THE FAITHLESS: Norsca’s treacherous and mutated Chaos Sorcerer, known for his mastery of betrayal, manipulation, and dark magic.

All three DLCs can be purchased as one complete bundle or individually, unlocking your preferred Legendary Lord.

Today also sees the release of update 7.0, which includes free access to Total War: WARHAMMER’s 104th Legendary Lord, The Masque of Slaanesh. Also included are legacy updates for High Elves, Slaanesh and Norsca, allowing players to return to past campaigns with new improvements.
