In today's stream they showed the norscan units and played some battles. It looks like they accidentally revealed Regiments of Renown for the Beastman, so it is probably other DLC races will also get them.

That's pretty nice. Should balance things out quite a bit, especially for MP.

A new video is up covering the War Hydra for the Dark Elves. It also contains a clue for the next part of the ritual.


I do like the design for the Hydra, being more based off a snake than a dragon. I like its rattle-tail.

A campaign video covering Throgg the Troll King for the upcoming Norsca DLC is up.

It covers things like the totem system and appeasing the 4 Chaos Gods as well as what bonues they give, the build tree for Norsca, research tree and the monster hunting mechanic as well as an interesting mechanic that makes confederation with Norscan tribes easier once you beat their faction leader.
It also shows the skill trees for Throgg and the Norscan Chieftains, who can actually put points towards one of the four gods, gaining bonuses and abilities for doing so. End bonuses listed below.
Beserker for Hound.
Regeneration and Poison Attacks for Crow.
Immune to Psychology, passive that gives Leadership bonus, melee defense and leadership debuff to enemy for Serpent.
Fireball spell and Magic Attacks for Eagle.


Some interesting points is the reward for favour with the Hound/Khorne is blurred out (I believe it says something about regiments of renown) as well as a unit I'm unsure of next to the Frost-Wyrm in the build tree (forth building tree from the left).

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Seems for their 30th birthday they're releasing some extra goodies. Basically a way of giving everyone some Regiments of Renown that aren't the base four races.

The only way to get them will apparently be via Total War Access, FYI.

I wonder if anything at all will come for the base factions.

Grim n' Grave and King n' Warlord were the packs they already released to bring those up to speed.
I guess just be glad there isn't a Brettonia paid expansion.

They did mention that all the factions would be getting something so I would assume the base four factions will be covered in the patch on the 10th of August.

The various differences the units have can be read about on the F.A.Q here.

The Mirror Guard look really nice and the Swords of the Apocalypse have a map-wide charge and speed buff. The Dragon Ogre unit has a single-cast Chain Lightning that charges during melee while the Cygor has a root unit ability.

Hm, I don't think it'll be that much of a problem. Beastmen don't have access to the Net of Amyntok and I assume the Cygors ability will require it to be quite close. It'll help the Beastmen deal with enemy cavalry to a small degree.

Some other things that have become apparent are; during the Norscan stream there was eight visible Regiments of Renown available (possibly more since I think the window could be scrolled). One of these is a unit of four Hellcannons that from what I've seen said is the 3rd tier reward for the Hound favour (Khorne reward for Norscan totems). The other looks like a Chaos Dragon/Frost Wyrm so I'm going to assume that the monsters you hunt during the Monster Hunt quests can get added within the Regiment of Renown list to recruit.

Anything else... we got the skill array images for Wulfrik the Wanderer and Throgg the Troll King.

There was also a short story called "The Forked Tongue" about a skink uploaded to the Total War Access. I haven't read it myself.

I'm on mobile and super lazy so I'll just let you guys know there's YouTube video out on the new monster hunt mechanics.

It looks frigging good. So damn good. I see what they mean by removing the mini campaigns and putting more stuff into the main one.

I hope they address the fact that the original LL's are so dull compared to the new ones.
