East... Ogres, Nekehara... where's the good guy?

East... Ogres, Nekehara... where's the good guy?

If you don't count Cathay, nowhere. Ogres are super neutral though. Omnivore neutral, in fact. Ogres are the least discriminating race on the Warhammer World: they eat everyone equally.

Anyway, in the New World we have: High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, Hung (Chaos nomads), a norscan colony, an estalian colony, the Vampire Coast, Skaven, and of course Greenskins.

East (though still west of Far Cathay) are: Ogres, Chaos Dwarfs, Skaven, and more Greenskins (including Hobgoblins and Gnoblars).

South (which has to be added at some point) has: Tomb Kings, Araby, some very lost Lizardmen, Beastmen, extremely lost Dwarfs, and some other southlands humans. And more Greenskins, particularly Savage Orcs.

The Russian leaks (which have been mostly right so far) say that the Tomb Kings will be DLC and not an expansion.

I'm inclined to agree.

[LordPorkins]

I still think it should be called Total Warhammer...

[Tack]

We call it Total Warhammer, and that's enough. Informals have power.

I wonder if Tomb kings will be a southern invasion horde then? More worthwhile than opening the map onto dull crap.

Also no giant squiggoth with the Wurzzag release? Not cool.

We call it Total Waaagh!, and that's enough. Informals have power.

FTFY

Doesn't make sense. The TKs just like to chill in their desert, sometimes venturing forth to recover stolen stuff.

There are giant squigs, but squiggoths are a 40k thing.

[LordPorkins]

Aaaw, i wanted a giant squig named Tiny.

Also, since this is Fantasy, i want their to be an Orc Tribe led by a cranky female, with the name "Mama'z Boyz"

Going to be a boring person again and say that fantasy orcs still don't have genders. There is a giant squig mod in the workshop though.

[LordPorkins]

Nah man, Orkz dont have genders. Orcs do. I think. Anyway, we all know Games Workshop. They could retcon Horus so he seems like a saint.

Edit: Moment of silence for all those who  have been devoured by that ever-hungry Maw, The Retconnian. Never forget the Squats. And Malal (HE EXISTS IN OUR HEARTS!)

And this theme persisted during the whole "End Times Rise Of Nagash" deal?

Only until Nagash waltzed in and defeated Settra!, while Neferata took care of Khalida, the only two TKs who had any real power over the rest of the lot.

Mild necro because the Wood Elves got a further tease. They also said they'd be doing another post (the original one being about a livestream of mods) later today, with the quote being "We'll have another post today, too - so don't leaf us alone just yet...".

Spoiler: For those on phones and such, I transcribed the message out of boredom (click to show/hide)

For the eyes of Duke Cassyon, Margrave of Parravon.

Your Grace,

Forgive this  indulgence of a scrawled missive sent by squire. Rather than journeying to your castle myself, I am required to travel straight to the hamlet of Puntiers, a smallish settlement within my own domain. I beg of you to meet with me there, bringing with yourself a muster of retainers and Knights Errant.

I invoke the chivalric code with grave urgency, for Puntiers has lost its children; eight young subjects stolen, a whole generation of labourer-tenants and tax yield taken. And I have no doubt who the perpetrators are. You can see the borders of the Greenwood from the fields that surround the hamlet. It seems the Fey Folk that dwell in the Forest of Loren have awoken and committed a fell act indeed. I know it them for the peasants showed me a message, written on a large leaf in some lexicon I cannot fathom and pinned to a door with a black arrow.

I suggest a sojourn into the forest at once to reclaim what is ours. Should the Fey remain hidden - as I suspect these cowardly creatures will - then we shall take compensation back in lumber, equal to the value of a lifetime's labour per child lost.

I await your arrival but cannot tarry for long, for justice must be served.

By our Lady's will,
Sir Redemond of the Northern Reach

Please also note that the 'Mother's Kiss' pox remains abroad in mine lands. A regrettable malady, although it only afflicts the young so your grace and any knightly companions will be safe.

Your grace - this message arrive five days past. I have it on good authority Sir Redemond may have lost patience and already entered Loren Forest with a peasant levy. No record of their return has been made thus far.

I heard that Brettonia won't be released until February next year.
Anyone know anything else about those rumors?

Edit: Not exactly 'rumor' then, so much as 'official announcement'.

[Mech#4]

It was announced alongside the release date for a version of Warhammer being released at the same time, February next year. The new version is called "Total War: Warhammer: Old World Edition", though aside from the new name and inclusion of Bretonnia (Which will be released for free for everyone at the same time) it doesn't seem to have anything else new about it.

Spoiler:  From the Total War Facebook page (click to show/hide)

We are thrilled to announce that in February 2017 we will be releasing a new edition of Total War: WARHAMMER with selected high street retailers. The big news is that it comes with a new playable race – Bretonnia. Why should you care if you already own Total War: WARHAMMER? Because you can download the Bretonnia Race Pack for free then too!
A contrast of lowly peasant masses and proud knightly orders, the feudal kingdom of Bretonnia features a host of powerful units and is lead into battle by a choice of three playable Legendary Lords; King Louen Leoncoeur, Alberic of Bordeleaux and the Fay Enchantress. More details about this iconic Warhammer Fantasy Battles Race will be revealed in the new year.
We’ve answered some of the most likely questions below.
1) What’s in the Total War: WARHAMMER – Old World Edition?
It is the original game, plus the Bretonnia Race Pack and an exclusive novella, ‘The Prince of Altdorf’ by Total War Writer Andy Hall.
2) Does it come with all the DLC? Is it a GoTY or Gold version?
No, it’s the original game and the Bretonnia Race Pack, and all the free-LC we’ve released to date of course. There are no plans to release a Gold or GoTY version of the game currently.
3) Why are you releasing this Edition?
It’s a great opportunity to mark the inclusion of a great and iconic Warhammer Fantasy Battles race, and a great point for anyone who hasn’t dived into the Total War: WARHAMMER game yet to get on board.
4) What will existing players get?
If you already own Total War: WARHAMMER, your game will be updated, and you will see the Bretonnia Race Pack available for free download in the Steam store. However, ‘The Prince of Altdorf’ novella is only available with physical copies of the game.
5) You said Bretonnia was coming this year, why is it delayed till February?
As we mentioned at the time, our free content plan is subject to change, and we took the opportunity of repackaging the game to add in more content for Bretonnia, with additional units and a third Legendary Lord for example.
6) Is anymore DLC coming for Total War: WARHAMMER?
Yes, our next major DLC expansion, and the next Free-LC is due before Christmas. It is growing now, there will be more news soon.
7) Will there be any more Free-LC after Bretonnia?
Yes, checkout our latest Free Content schedule for a hint: http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War:_WARHAMMER_Future_Cont

I would guess it's a more descriptive title in preperation for the stand alone expansions so they're more distinct. So yes, Bretonnia are getting released as free content in February next year.

Get hype lads.

CA says the steam page with all the features will be up within the hour, but in their facebook they said Wood Elves can conquer all settlements. All. Including those in norsca.
