Fingers crossed for some spectacular battles. There will be plenty of monstrous units to fight with and against in Warhammer 3, and Roxburgh says that Creative Assembly's designed some brand new ones, too. They'll be facing off against some truly horrible daemons, like Khorne's gruesome Bloodletters and hulking Bloodthirsters, so they'll have their work cut out for them. We're delving deep into their lore, their history, their beliefs, and the personalities who embody them, such as Katarin who you'll have seen in the trailer.'Īlong with the deadly bears, Kislev will field a variety of cavalry, infantry, and armaments, but like Cathay we'll have to wait and see what Creative Assembly and Games Workshop come up with. 'Games Workshop are in the process of updating Kislev to the same level of detail as all the other army books, so there's loads of incredibly exciting new detail for players to see and enjoy in the game.

'Kislev is a natural fit for the campaign map geography, as they are one of the bastion races against which the tides of Chaos crash,' Roxburgh explains. So far we know it will include bear cavalry, but it's still very much a work-in-progress. Like Cathay, the Russian-inspired faction doesn't have an official army in the current version of the tabletop game, though with the upcoming resurrection of the Old World, Games Workshop is in the process of designing one. Kislev should also provide some surprises. With Creative Assembly's desire to include pretty much all of the Old World era of the tabletop game, I wouldn't count anything out. Given Cathay's history with the neighbouring ogre tribes, I wouldn't be surprised to see a proper Ogre faction making an appearance. While Creative Assembly isn't ready to talk about additional factions, Roxburgh confirmed that we can expect more paid and free DLC, which hopefully means more armies to fight with. There also might be good news for fans of ogres. He adds that they're a good narrative fit, as well, balancing out the 'sheer weight of Chaos you're going to experience.' Historically, Cathay's had to deal with Chaos incursions from the neighbouring steppes, and managed to halt a daemonic invasion. 'Their design team led the way in defining what Cathay would look like as a fully-fledged faction, and we've fed that design through the Total War lens, so in the final game you'll see a playable race as complete and as storied as any other.' 'We've built this incredibly close working relationship with Games Workshop over the years, and Cathay's realisation in Warhammer 3 is testament to that,' says Roxburgh.
