A subreddit dedicated to the Creative Assembly games in the Total War: Warhammer series Feel free to share any news, strategies, gameplay, start a discussion or just hang around. Currently looking for one or two moderators, preferably with some experience. Also looking for someone with experience regarding CSS. The Dwarfs are a race introduced in Total War: Warhammer. They have four playable factions and five Legendary Lords to choose from. The Dwarfs are an ancient, proud race of warriors and craftsmen who dwell in great halls deep under the mountains. Easy to offend, they record every grudge in a great tome, written in the blood of kings. Dwarf armies can move through the underway to avoid danger. Den is a basic military building in Total War: Warhammer II only available to Beastmen. 'Warhounds that accompany the Beastmen are kept in crude dens, where they are fed prey - both living and dead.' Unlocks recruitment of: Chaos Warhounds (Poison) Razorgor Herd Harpies Tier II - Den Tier III - Pits of Horror Tier V - Toxic Grounds. The Chaos Dwarfs, also known as Black Dwarfs, Uzkul-Dhrazh-Zharr or the Dawi-Zharr, which means Fire-Dwarfs, are an industrious, dark-souled and merciless warrior race of Daemonsmiths, slavers and brutal killers that dominate the dark and cheerless landscape of the Dark Lands. At the centre of the Dark Lands lies a region filled with.

Total War Warhammer Dwarfs Vs Chaos
Total War Warhammer 3 Chaos Dwarfs
- Awesome Music: the song used in the announcement trailer (as well as its remix in the Trial by Fire trailer) are an awesome mix of rock and traditional music.
- Epileptic Trees:
- Mentions that there would be nine Legendary Lords at launch (which means that, if Kislev and Cathay launch with two each, and each Chaos God has a dedicated Legendary Lord, there's still one spot left) as well as the Steam description mentioning 'an ancient power in search of a champion' have been taken by everyone to be clear hints that the ninth legendary lord on launch would be the daemon Be'lakor, leading Chaos Undivided.
- The Chaos Dwarfs and Ogre Kingdoms are both considered a lock due to being the last of the major factions from the tabletop not to be officially playable in the Total War: Warhammer series, both races being centrally concentrated east of the World's Edge Mountains, the need for gameplay diversity in a game launching with four Chaos factions and two human nations and so on.
- Fans of minor human nations who never got official army books, especially those located in the Far East like Nippon and the Kingdoms of Ind, have been galvanized by the announcement trailer to believe they will become playable through DLC, as Kislev and Cathay's inclusion implies it's no longer verboten for Creative Assembly to give footnote factions a major Adaptation Expansion.
- The announcement of a pre-order DLC Race Pack led some to speculate it could mean a smaller nation from the existing map like Dogs of War (Tilea and Estalia), Araby, or even the Norse Dwarfs of Kraka Drak.
- The Hobgoblin Khanates are a common suggestion for pretty much the exact same reasons as the Chaos Dwarfs and Ogre Kingdoms, though sometimes as a lord choice for the Chaos Dwarfs rather than a full-on major faction (the hobgoblins have their own society, but their tabletop game presence has been through their mercenary/favoured slave/overseer status netting them entries on Chaos Dwarf army lists).
Advertisement:Advertisement: - Hilarious in Hindsight: An author from GameSpot clearly didn't bother to check the title of the game they were writing about and unknowingly misattributed Total War: Warhammer II's 'the Warden & the Paunch' update with Total War: Three Kingdoms, leading to humorous speculation that orcs and goblins were invading Ancient China. But now that Cathay has been confirmed to be a playable faction, this comes off as being an accidentally accurate prediction.
- Shocking Moments:
- In The Stinger of the announcement trailer, we get a good look at the map... and the words in focus are 'Grand Cathay'. The Aside Glance that follows confirms it - Grand Cathay will be one of the six factions playable at launch.
- One from the Steam store page: Kislev and Cathay are launching expeditions into the Chaos Wastes. This means that, for the first time in any Warhammer universe, The Forces of Order are invading Chaos' heartlands!
- A letter on the table of the tent seen in the final scene of the trailer hints that Yuri Kovalenko, a character from the 2nd edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, will be involved in a major way as well.
Advertisement: - Squick: The Great Unclean One in the announcement trailer certainly lives up to its name, what with have a mouthful of twitching maggots and a disgustingly slimy tongue. At least one person has admitted that this is the first time they've actually seen a Nurglite daemon as being revolting.
- Tainted by the Preview: Opinions are divided on the Kislev roster and general aesthetic, particularly its heavy focus on bear-related units. Every lord and hero has the option of being mounted on bear (including the Tzarina, who canonically rides a sled and is opposed to the bear-themed Cult of Ursun). When combined with the cavalry units riding bears, sleds and artillery pieces pulled by bears, and the straight-up magic ice bears that fight for Kislev, many fans are concerned that the faction has been Flanderised into being the 'bear faction' rather than a historically inspired Russian-themed faction. Of course, others have pointed out it was ridiculous to expect Kislev's five unit auxillary armylist from a decade ago, people themselves are misremebering things, and that Warhammer factions have always had extensive fantasy options, including the Empire and Bretonnia, and that if Kislev was simply historical Russia, it would be insanely boring.
- Unexpected Character:
- While many people suspected that Cathay would show up at some point in this game, most likely as DLC, due to both Cathay being an Ensemble Dark Horse and being geographically close to the expected playable factions, and just as many expected Cathay to never show up in any capacity at all, literally no one expected them to be playable at launch.
- A roundabout example with the Herald of Khorne — while the herald was expected to appear in the game, most people assumed it would be as a hero option, while a Chaos Champiok of Khorne took the second Khornate lord slot alongside the Exalted Bloodthrister. Instead, the Herald of Khorne is a Lord option, while the Khornate champion (now named the Cultist of Khorne) is a hero unit. Additionally, not many were expecting Bloodreapers to show up as heroes of Khorne.
