Their campaign is often maligned for being somewhat directionless, and not particularly strongly intertwined with the series’ lore. Since their inclusion, the Wood Elves have fallen by the wayside somewhat. The updates to the Wood Elves, however, are what many players will be losing their minds over.

The Flesh Laboratory will allow players to “grow new monsters or augment existing ones to create new horrific abominations”, what this means specifically is yet to be seen, but a safe bet would be to assume it will involve using collectible resources to buff already powerful units to new heights, although Creative Assembly’s phrasing seems to suggest that augments may be made on a unit by unit basis potentially, which could lead to some interesting and explosive combinations on the battlefield. Bringing with him a host of unholy abominations such as Brood Horrors, Pack Masters, Wolf Rats, a new variant of the existing Rat Ogres and, perhaps most excitingly, the Ghoritch legendary hero(pictured below in its miniature form), Throt’s campaign will feature gameplay mechanics that, on paper, look quite similar to those of previous DLC lord Ikit Claw.

It’s a combination that many never knew they wanted, and this latest announcement promises a breath of new life into one of the franchises most maligned factions.Ī new Skaven lord is something of a surprise considering the faction’s inclusion in two of the last four packs released for the game, but the inclusion of Throt the Unclean is something that many rat-fans have been asking for. The Total War: Warhammer franchise is a masterful blend of real time, army level tactics, turn based empire management and giant monsters smashing into lines of hapless swordsmen.
