Shame. Oh well, at least the dwarves look appropriately awesome.

There is some images of the Chaos units if you go to the DLC page on Steam. The lords for Chaos are Archaon the Everchosen, Kholek Suneater and ,interestingly, Sigvald the Magnificent.

Here's an article on the announcements from Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

Damn it.

I guess it goes two ways: either the storylines and quests for each faction are so trivial that they can crank it out as Day Zero DLC....or it's a significant chunk of content that they've already made DLC months in advance.

It's definitely the latter, regardless of the triviality of the questlines. They want people to pre-order, so they're going to entice people to pre-order.

Speeching of which. It looks like I'm going to have to let myself down again and pre-order this game. Not sure get though. Not sure.

Or their team designing and coding factions is done their work and set on this while the rest of the team finishes up the main game?
Either way, I've just given up being bothered by DLC.

They already proved with Attila that they have given into DLC whoring...so you are better off just not letting DLC hold any sort of significance other than taking your money.

I called this long ago in this thread and most people talked me down...but it seems my point is being proven...

At least they choose some of the cooler heroes. The only guy really missing is Galrauch. I was kinda expecting him with the whole Tzeentch thing.

p.s: I've gone from day 1 purchase to pirating the game. I was okay with stuff like Sparta locked behind DLC but putting Chaos behind it is stupid. That's like making Rome Total War and making Rome DLC.

Here's hoping they will do a Beta. DLC-Bullsh*t aside, I'm more worried about the game being a gigantic bug-ridden, poorly optimized mess.

Warhammer and Total War is a combination where I'm prepared to drop a little more money into it. Because this time, they cant just copy & paste factions for DLC, as they did with Attila. But then the game needs to be actually presentable at launch.

I am kind of sick and tired of the nickel and diming of this series. Who do they think they are? Paradox?

It has been said from close to the beginning that Warhammer: Total War would have four factions playable at release. While it is still an annoying move I take a bit of comfort from the factions being more diverse and unique from each other then in previous Total War games.

Looking at the price on Steam, and the current exchange rate, Warhammer: Total War is about $88 AUD to preorder. A fair amount but less then the usual $100 - $120 games can cost in Australia on launch. While I may preorder the game, my decision will be make much closer to the release date.

There is a few different version being offered. Standard version, Limited Edition version and "High King" Edition.
"High King" edition comes with various objects such as a map, drinking horn, art book, ring, pendant, metal box, guide an the DLC. Though, it is only available in listed countries, of which, Australia isn't one of them. All editions come with the Chaos DLC when preordered.
While I'm all for art books, the rest of the stuff tends to just sit around my room collecting dust.
Spoiler: Edit: For completion sake, here is a list of all the units that will be in the Chaos faction: (click to show/hide)

So chaos will instead have Three legendary lords to everyone Else's one, that's certainly interesting.

Other factions have at least two lords.
Empire:                                                                          Orcs and Goblins:
Emperor Karl Franz                                                          Grimgor Ironhide
Balthazar Gelt Supreme Patriarch of the Colleges of Magic   Wurrzag da Great Green Prophet (I think)

Dwarves:                                                                        Vampire Counts:
High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer                                     Mannfred von Carstein
Ungrim Ironfist the Slayer King                                         Not announced yet.

The lord choices are tending to be one melee focused lord and one more magic focused lord. Mannfred is more of a mage from what I know of him.

A slayer king? Don't slayers really, really, really want to die in battle?

Is this guy so invincible he managed to live long enough to be a king?
