Total War: Warhammer $9 deal what you actually get
Ready to dive into the colossal world of Total War: Warhammer? Forget the idea that you need to purchase an entire game just to experience the epic scope of the lore. Creative Assembly has dropped a brilliant value proposition that lets players unlock the entire Immortal Empires campaign—the sprawling trilogy of content spanning a decade of development—by simply purchasing a single Lord from the new Lords of the End Times expansion.
For just $9, you gain immediate access to massive free content. But what exactly are you getting when you buy a Lord? The answer lies in unlocking entire factions, unit rosters, and legendary heroes, offering countless campaign options right out of the gate.
Consider the opportunity presented by the four new lords: Boris Todbringer, Thanquol, Nagash, and The Glottkin. Each choice opens up a unique and rich narrative experience.
If you choose Boris Todbringer, you immediately gain access to the formidable Bretonnia faction, their core unit roster, and four legendary lords, including Louen Leoncouer, Alberic De Bordeleaux, and the spellcaster The Fay Enchantress. This gives you a fantastic starting point close to the Empire, perfect for exploring diverse starting positions.
For fans of the undead, Nagash proves to be the best value. As the Lord of Undeath, purchasing him grants access to units from across the entire undead roster, including Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts. Furthermore, you unlock the new Free-LC legendary lord, Neferata, along with the legendary vampire hero Ulrika Magdova, giving you immense depth for a fraction of the cost.
The opportunity extends beyond single purchases. If you acquire a Lord from one expansion, you can unlock complementary free legendary lords from other DLCs. For instance, purchasing Aislinn from Tides of Torment unlocks Imrik and Alith Anar as legendary lords for the High Elves. This strategy is key to unlocking an astonishing amount of content at the most affordable price.
Even more specialized content is unlocked. Buying Thanquol unlocks the entire Skaven faction, their unit roster, and legendary heroes like Tretch Craventail, giving you a wild, scurrying race to command. Similarly, The Glottkin offers access to the Warriors of Chaos, including legendary heroes such as Harald Hammerstorm and Karanak.
While factions like the Warriors of Chaos present a unique challenge, they don’t offer the broad confederation options found elsewhere, meaning you won’t be able to yoink legendary lords from other Chaos factions. However, the sheer variety of free content ensures there is always an adventure waiting.
Ultimately, the Lords of the End Times DLC provides a brilliant gateway for players looking to maximize their experience. By choosing a single Lord, you don’t just buy a piece of content; you secure access to an entire, diverse universe of campaigns and characters.
