Actually it is a standalone game because you don't need Total Warhammer to play it, but you will gain access to any Total Warhammer race and DLC you own in the new campaign if you own both games.

Lizardmen and Skaven hype. Also Dark Elves can come too. High Elves will be RIP. Also there is speculation from fans tomb kings will be pre-order bonus because they mentioned the south lands are being added. If this is all game two than I can only imagine what game 3 will bring. 2017 has way too much awesome games coming out compared to last year. Almost every single game coming out this year is great. I hope TW2 is and DoW3 as well.

Yeah, 2017 has been quite a great year, both for games and me, personally, compared to 2016. I'm wondering if Tzeentch had something to do here.

Hey, can you identify what is here and what's going on?

From Lizardmen there are Carnosaurs, Oldbloods, Skinks, Saurus Warriors, Slann (Mazdamundi on palanquin, I'm sure he will ride a Stegadon later) and Terradons (at 2:09).

But, but, that was supposed to be the new Aztec-focused Total War or somehow a jungle in medieval China! How are they supposed to talk down to fantasy players and tell them Warhammer isn't a good selling game now?!



Anyway, loved the trailer. I think the Slann should have been a bit more calm, though. He was hard to take seriously yelling like that.

Curious question for my fellow AoS fans.
Spoiler:

Did anyone else immediately head-canon this as a Eldritch council expedition feuding with rouge Exile smugglers in the realm of life that Seraphon ambushed to halt them from fighting in forbidden territory.

They failed, so now the Skaven got the scent of a nice chaos artifact disturbed by the bloodshed.

Looking forward to this. TW:W has been a great and very fun game. I've enjoyed the hell out of it. I am looking forward to this.

I am really curious to see how Skaven play, and to see how many Units the Dark Elves get initially.

6000+ Order. Unity. Obedience.

Haha, I like how they dropped the rank-and-file after the beginning march and even the ending started looking like AoS masses moving across the board.

I'd love that but they only have the license for 8th edition. They are building up a End Times scenario of their own making, though. Apparently a twin-tailed comet is what disrupted the magic vortex so game 3 is going to be big on a chaos filled end-game.

A AoS game would be great though if they ever wanted to make TW:40k. It'd be cheap to do since they could port-in most of the models they already did for TW:W and it'd let CA work on a game that includes multiple worlds and battles ranging from mass fights to skirmishes.

Oh well, trust in mods.

Good infos regarding what you'll be able to play if you buy the 2nd game.

Edit: Watching all of this reminded me that they need to patch the Empire to give all their legendary lords a different starting area, I think its the only faction that doesn't have that feature, making it impossible to play them online without mods.

Not will it be standalone, but it will also come with four playable races just like the first game did. And the content in the second game is completely independent of the content in the first game. You're not getting rehashed content from the first game if you purchase the second one.

That looks so good hopefully they will not add any crap from AoS. The game is amazing and lore based, enjoyable all around.

If they throw in ghost lizards in space ships, space stations and teleport gateways to cinnamon and zuzu or what ever the hell the bubble planets are then it would not be total war. It be sifi war crap tactular.

This game is based on 20+ years of lore and a world that is mapped out. Not a half arse over night fan fiction novel like aos. Total war aos would be a joke. Maze well make harry potter total war.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

If you start the game with a level 1 Teclis, Malekith or Slann.

Something not quite right there.

I am guessing Tomb Kings will be the pre-order faction much like Chaos was in the first game.

Interesting that there will be no sea combat, I'm guessing it is because another developer has the licence for it. Not that big a loss though. If naval fights were anything like Rome II it would be very clunky and near impossible to command a decent victory. I did love conquering a city by just parking artillery ships in a harbour and picking off enemy troops though.

Part of me is super excited to play as the lizardmen while another part remembers how much I suck at forest combat. Not a fan of being sneak-attacked behind my flanks and watching my carefully arranged units bumble around the trees!

I think High Elves might be my favourite faction if they get some decent artillery to go with those spearmen. I do love me a good phalanx...

That being said, the first instalment of the game really makes you explore new ways to command an army due to how differently they all operate so maybe I will surprise myself with these new factions!

Does anyne else see Benedict Cucumberpatch as Teclis?

....

Wouldn't that mean if Teclis became the God/Manifestation of the Wind of Light in AoS.... that Benedict is now the AoS god of light?

On topic, I'm hyped for Kroq-Gar. You know he and Grymloq will be ripping up elves and Anathema all over the place.

Elves is a weird way to spell Skaven.

Also, I think Tyrion is the god of light. Let's just be thankful Mel Gibson of the woods didn't get it.
