These trailers are totally what got me into Warhammer! Especially that Vampire Counts one, I saw that, and was like 'Undead?' 'Steam tank?!' and knew I had to know more about this world.

I hadn't seen the Mark of Chaos one, just the TW:W ones - it's epic too. That poor warrior priest didn't get things easy, and those chaos warriors look superb.
I still remember watching the first TW:W trailer, seeing the orc boar boys begin their charge and the Empire wizard pull a comet down from the heavens, and thinking - this is what warhammer is about.

No Daemons?  |

Daemons are not out yet, the Total War series is a trilogy of games of which 2 have been released so far. Game 1: Dwarfs Greenskins Empire Bretonnia Wood Elves (DLC) Warriors of Chaos(DLC) Norsca (DLC) Vampire Counts Beastmen (DLC) Game 2 (so far): High Elves Dark Elves Lizardmen Skaven Tomb Kings (DLC) The games "bolt together" so there is a big Mortal Empires campaign where you play not-quite the whole map with everyone, or there is an Old World campaign (game 1) or a new world campaign (game 2). The general reckoning is game 3 will feature Daemons, hopefully a rework of Chaos in general, Ogres & Chaos Dwarfs. Each of the races is getting a rework at the moment it seems to give them more Lord options, each with a unique starting position (not all of them have unique starting positions at the moment..). It's a really good game, well worth a look if you haven't already. I've just picked up the Queen & the Crone with my hard earned pubg crate money  |

As much as I love these games and support them whole-hartedly, the third installment just doesn't sound interesting to me. Ogres would probably be fun, but I have no desire to see or play Daemons or Chaos Dwarfs. Unless they come out with something of much more interest to me, I doubt I'll be getting that one.

There's got to be something more to the third game than just those three missing races and some easterly expansion to the campaign map. I've no idea what to expect, but it should be a significant change to campaigns to justify there being a separate game, rather than just being DLC for an existing one.
Given what they did with Norsca (expanding beyond just the standard GW armies plus picking units out of the fluff that never had models/rules), and that they've only got 3 races left for the final game, I'm optimistic that there will be more races too - there's plenty left to draw on, though Dogs of War/Tilea and Kislev are the two with most to work with.

I'm thinking they will completely rework Chaos making them a lot more god specific, introducing marks and stuff like that (Warriors too)

If that's the case, then this really won't be for anyone who doesn't play Chaos. Usually games like this try to balance the good and bad armies fairly equally, but with those listed, even with the Ogres counted as "Good" that'd still be incredibly one sided.
I'd hope that they include some of the more obscure races like Kislev, Estalia, Araby, etc. I'd be interested to see how a Dogs of War army would operate, though.

There actually is a rumor they are considering doing Cathey to tie into Three Kingdoms Total War, and that would really be ace, and really cool. They have at least confirmed everything with an 8th edition army book is getting a faction in Warhammer, but they seem open to doing a bunch more factions (Gotta get dat moneh after all)

I would expect Kislev to turn up as DLC at some point. I don't see why CA would not milk all they can from the franchise, and Kislev don't need much in the way of additional complex models. Maybe some bears.
Don't forget the added benefit of game 3 is that it bolts onto the previous 2 to give you the complete Old World. Worth it for that alone in my book

There's a new one up: www.totalwar.com/games/warhammer-ii/the-hunter-the-beast/Markus Wolfhart has apparently taken the Empire to Lustria, and he's up against a Kroxigor character I've never heard of. The Empire War Wagon also returns! I haven't played TWW for around a year now - my laptop stopped working properly with it |

It's great seeing a War Wagon though! Dead Sauron too!

I believe NAKAI THE WANDERER actually had rules in the very first Lizardmen army book for 5th edition. |
