Whoever wants Total War: Warhammer 3 completely pays over 200 euros even on sale – Here are the most important DLCs for every playstyle

The Defensive Races and their DLCs

Defensive races gain a bonus when they are attacked or have special mechanics that make it difficult to remove them from where they have settled. Players who prefer thick, armored units, ambushes, or “hedgehog tactics” will find what they are looking for here.

Wood Elves (DLC)

• included in the DLC Realm of the Wood Elves
• focus on ranged units and ambushes
• special tree-beings as monsters and support
• secondary strength: diplomacy
• another commander in the DLC The Twisted & The Twilight

Kislev

• included in Total War: Warhammer 3 (base game)
• focus on chariots and war sleds as well as mystical monsters
• must constantly fight against chaos corruption to keep the homeland pure
• special mechanics depending on the commander
• additional commander in the DLC Mother Ostankya – Shadows of Change

Tomb Kings (DLC)

• included in the DLC Rise of the Tomb Kings
• a mix of cheap skeletons and strong constructs
• have no upkeep or recruitment costs, armies and units cost no gold
• limited recruitment of strong units
• special ritual to create your own regions in a sandstorm that damages intruders

Ogre Kingdoms (DLC)

• included in the DLC Ogre Kingdoms
• balanced roster, but mainly large and few units
• “heavy hitter”: units that deal a lot of damage and tank well but are slow and clumsy
• settlements have limited expansion spots, instead ogres rely on fortified camps for recruitment that can be placed anywhere
• secondary strength: diplomacy
• additional legendary commander in the DLC Golgfag – Omens of Destruction

Vampire Lords

• included in Total War: Warhammer
• many cheap zombie units, but also strong infantry and cavalry
• virtually no ranged combat or artillery
• all legendary leaders are powerful wizards
• access to necromancy to summon units without recruitment time and limited anywhere
• can unlock special leaders and bloodlines with faction-wide bonuses
• corrupt their territories with “vampiric corruption”: only here can armies heal, living suffer strong wear and tear
• secondary strength: diplomacy
• additional commander included in the DLC The Grim & The Grave

Dwarves

• included in Total War: Warhammer
• focus on heavily armored units that are particularly hard to kill at the start of the game
• slower than most other armies, but can withstand almost any charge
• high leadership, hard to break
• additional commanders in the DLCs The King & The Warlord and Malakai – Thrones of Decay

After a major update, Dwarves also have the ability to build their depths, which means you have full-fledged settlements beneath settlements. Although they are extremely expensive, they make it difficult to impossible to take your fortified positions: “Good luck trying to dislodge a grumpy dwarf” – Warhammer game plans powerful features, one faction is particularly excited
