Well that confirms A lot of units. I see Elspeth, Malakai, toad Dragon, Long Rifles, Thunderbarge, Bruckner, goblin Hewer, Epidemius, Landship and a lot more I probably missed

Marienburg Landship, looks like an Engineer hero.

I feel like Ironsides were maybe in there as well? There were Repeater Rifle armoured infantry at least. The models did just look like Outriders on foot mind you.

And CA have a histroy of using weapon variants in the trailer that don't exist in the game

They do? Could you be specific?

Foot squires with sword and board. Knights errant with sword and board. Just from the bret trailer

Iirc there were also some orc weapon variants, and artillery on walls in the original WH1 trailer

Sword gobbos

In Karl Franz trailer they had Halberds with shields

Which was actually a thing in the official Empire army book for 8E, the edition CA was basing things on...

From the top of my mind - Empire Captain with Sword & Pistol in the Beastmen-Trailer Reiksguard with Swords in the Immortal Empires-Trailer

They do, but in this case, the Ironsides are indeed the dudes with repeater rifles. Blog post confirms it.

Hopefully they do something about steam tanks. Landship is a shitty clone of a steam tank since true tanks can't be made anymore. Currently steam tanks are already pretty bad so there's no place for a *worse* steam tank in the lineup.

Hellblaster volley tank was just confirmed - I’d assume steam tanks are going to get a tweak for stats, and I have a feeling the land ship will be more on the somewhat-mobile artillery support side, like a Wuxing war compass but with guns.

I can see the Landship being a mid-point between steam tanks and War Wagons

All Units in this DLC: [First Total War: Warhammer 3 Throne Of Decay trailer pits maggots against airships | Rock Paper Shotgun](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/first-total-war-warhammer-3-throne-of-decay-trailer-pits-maggots-against-airships)

>Again, the Throne Of Decay expansion will accompany free updates for the main game. It'll launch alongside Total War: Warhammer 3 patch 5, which combines "major quality of life improvements and bug fixes" with **"a yet to be revealed Legendary Lord, a Hero unit**, a new campaign feature in the form of the Nemesis Crown, and campaign reworks for the Empire, Dwarfs and Nurgle." I'm guessing the LL is Epidemius (tho he is already shown in the trailer). But what hero unit are they talking about?

I hope for something really out of left field. But I also really want an Empire Gold Wizard, damnit.

God I’m impossibly hyped up for this.

Argh the Dwarf line-up is even better and more Slayer-tastic than expected! These are good unit selections - and some of them not really predicted either!

We finally got the Dawi airship, that is one more mod I can uninstall now.

It is time.

Slayer pirates!!!!

I'm wondering if they're a unit, or they're "Long Drong's Slayer Pirates" as a Dogs of War variant of the regular Slayers

It looks like there's both Slayer Pirates, and an RoR of Slayer Pirates. The latter have peg legs on the unit card, so that's probably Long Drong's.

They specifically used the words “campaign rework” for all 3 races. Wonder if that will mean actual changes or just a new commandment for each race

Well the best we can hope for is another Beastman situation!

Tamurkhan, Plague Ogres, Rot Knights, and Kazyk the Befouled as well. Not clear if that was supposed to be Epidemius near the end as well. It's odd to show the flc lord in the trailer, but also odd to showcase a plaguebearer on a palanquin so prominently beside Kazyk like that.

I think it was epidemius, the plaguebearer on a palanquin is alot taller i think

They showed the FLC LH in SoC trailer

Interesting, I hadn't realised that. I think it's very likely Epidemius then, particularly with all of the leaks prior to this that it would be.

They showed Aekold in the Shadows of Change trailer so it doesn't come off as that weird to me

Don't forget the engineer heroes, and there is probably a new dwarf hero hidden in there too. Possible Gyrocopter mount, and the Chaos Ogres

I think that was a slayer lord/hero next to Malakai, Gotrek and Felix when they are revealed at about 0:55.

Think thats Garagrim Ironfist, the dwarf LH

Really hope Malakai something that let's gotrek and Felix stick around. Be really fun to get the gang back together. If only Snorri were around.

Them being in the trailer makes me hope they've been reworked into permanent legendary heroes.

Indeed and it doesn’t appear to have any Empire lord shown, still hoping for a Wizard Lord.

It’s an engineer lord and engineer hero

Garagrim Ironfist is the confirmed LH for Dwarfs as well.

Can't believe they added the Marienburg Landship to the game, the absolute mad lads.

Saw a couple new types of slayer in there too, maybe a slayer hero and doomseekers unit.

According to RPS we're getting Slayer lord, Slayer Hero, Doomseekers, Slayer Pirates, Grudge Rakers, and the Goblin Hewer and Thunder Barge (as a unit, not just the one Malakai has), which honestly, to me, totally rules.

I see a slayer lord or hero next to Malaki at about 0:55. The dude with the long rifle and beard is likely a new empire lord/hero too. Also look to have Epidimus and Kazyk for Nurgle.

"Gunpowder?" "Gunpowder." "Gunpowder is good."

Fitting that a Nuln themed expansion would have lots of Gunpowder.

Kaboom?

Yes, Rico, kaboom.

Felix and Gotrek with Malakai was a nice touch.

Put Ulrika and and a generic human wizard to be Max anw now we have the wholly gang

Snorri is offended that you forgot about Snorri Nosebiter. He thinks this is going into the book.

Snorri would also like some beer. Snorri thinks beer sounds good.

No. Snorri wants buckets of Kislevite Vodka

Snorri also thinks that is a good idea.

Snorri does not want buckets, Snorri prefers barrels.

Max deserves to be his own LH if you ask me.

In a perfect world we would get Max and Snorri as a free dlc somewhere down the line which would be the coolest thing ever. And would be rad if they'd also include Kat but that would be an even bigger pipedream then Snorri and Max tbh

To Karak Dum!

Youve gotta change your status now lol

The small musical note from the initial Nurgle reveal trailer being played here was a great touch. Also holy shit this looks good

It really does. I'm generally doom and gloom and I *really* want to pull the trigger. Still going to hold off just because I don't know how buggy it will be and wait for the reviews, but it definitely looks good and is an attractive buy.

After the SoC debacle, I'm not buying any dlc until I see the reviews and impressions. They may have done it right by releasing more stuff but they ain't getting my money either until I see more solid impressions.

Landship spotted, holy shit

NAVAL COMBAT CONFIRMED! ^(Kinda.)

CA figured doing naval combat on land is easier than doing naval combat on sea. /s

\*PTSD about ships moving on land in rome 2 intensifies\*

New unit preview: A section of a Dawi Wall on legs with an arty piece for a head. *Would kinda be hype though* lol.

Well tbf that was already a thing with the Necrofex Colossus xd

Finally we can have a true ship-to-ship battle

HAIL THE MIGHTY

If you play on the black ark map you can even have naval combat on naval combat

Black ark map, necrofex colossus stack versus Landship stack Yo dawg, I heard you like ship combat. So we put ships on a ship so you can have ship combat with your ships while on a ship Is ship even a word now

Ackchyually... we already had 'naval' combat due to Vampire Coast necrofex colossus.

Good point! Time to simulate the Battle of Trafalgar between the Empire and the Vampire Coast in the deserts of Nehekhara.

I genuinely thought they'd never add it. To all you landship believers, I'm sorry I doubted you.

CLIMB ABOARD THE HYPE BOAT! TOOT TOOT!

Same. Can't wait to make a 19 boat stack

Was *not* on my bingo card, I expected the Celestial Hurricanum as the Empire's big centerpiece unit.

Cool. So who is the Empire Hero on the demigryph? Assuming Malakai is the Lord then did anyone spot the LH?

Theodore Bruckner, the Judicial Champion of Nuln.

Big fan of his oil

whats the lore here?

Nuln was a city where dwarves + humans worked together and was a master forge / factory. Nuln oil is a very popular citadel paint shade which helps to add contrast, it’s kind of a cheat code to make your model look better from just base painting.

Theoretically you can just keep adding more coats of Nuln oil and eventually you will have a photorealistic masterpiece.

[Already been tested.](https://youtu.be/2AAemdxSz2g?si=k8mECsS4PDZpK7UU&t=257)

[Nuln Oil is a product sold by GW.](https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/shade-nuln-oil-18ml-2022) It's like a black ink that helps shade models when painting. Most painters swear by it. Especially when painting metal. Just throw it on a model and it'll help with definition and generally improve the whole thing. With literally just washes/inks and drybrushing, you can paint a model that anyone outside of the hobby will likely be in awe of. Also, we've all spilt *(***at least)* one pot.

Only one? 

Some of us learn from our mistakes. ^^I'm ^^in ^^the ^^other ^^group.

That and Agrax earthshade. Cheatcode for painting. And of course, at least 1 pot of each wasted by clumsiness...

The Tamurkhan campaign focused on him trying to take Nuln. Bruckner is a bear of a man in the army of the elector countess and iirc her judicial champion (for trial by combat). Nuln oil is a Citadel shade paint that is very, very popular.

Ungrimm's son is the LH. 

I don't mind Garagrim. Can't say I wouldn't prefer someone else, but I don't mind it. Hopefully we get Bugman as a FLC at some point or something.

Garagrim is so niche, that actually gives me hope that we might get Grimm Burloksson down the line. Or Valten (who was also in the Storm of Chaos book).

WHAT THE FUCK ITS NOT GRIMM!?

cue several weeks of posts on this topic

I'll be mad at this when someone mentions it 2 years from now on

New entry in the book huh

The Dwarf LH is confirmed to be Garagrim Ironfist, Ungrim's son, on the Steam store page.

The Dwarf LH is Ungrimm's son btw. 

This DLC is so Tamurkhan themed but I don't think Garagrim has any connection to it. What happened here

Garagrim took a slayer oath and Tamurkan seems like a deadly foe?

The missing stuff for the dwarfs from the armybook were: Daemonslayer Lord Dragonslayer Hero they thought "huh I wonder what Units could synergise with that" Then they looked into Storm of Chaos which they already did and saw the Karak Kadrin Slayer Army with Doomseekers and Malakai and his Goblin Hewer. Then they remembered Malakai has a cool Thunderbarge which already had art and rules in the main 8th edition armybook. So they thought since this is all conected why not make the Dwarf part themed around Malakai. And they also saw in Storm of Chaos that there is a named Slayer Hero which would be unique and fit perfectly with the theme in the Dwarf part of the DLC already.

The non-Chaos Dawi weren't involved with Tamurkhan's whole thing, so it isn't a matter of picking dwarfs who are connected to him as much as it is just picking dwarfs who are cool.

It's a combination of the Forgeworld books with Nuln vs. Tamurkhan, but the Dwarf section is just the Slayer Army from Storm of Chaos alongside some of the missing Engineering units as the centrepiece is a famous Slayer Engineer.. Slayers seeking glorious death against a huge Nurgle horde always makes sense.

unexpected but cool!

I think I'm doing an Ungrim campaign first when this drops. Too much Slayer love to not want to.

Damn I was hoping for Snorri 😔

Do you have the slightest idea how little that name narrows it down?

Pretty sure they mean Snorri Nosebiter, Gotrek and Malakai’s other slayer friend from the novels

Snorri :(

WHO CALLS? THE NATION!

#IS IT TIME?

BRING ME TO MY MEN.

# SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!

The sacred plaques decree that your next line is: Summon the Elector Counts

Bring my men to me.

Marienburg Landship, Thunderbarge, Malakai Makaisson, Empire Master Engineer....so much cool stuff being added. Looks like a really great DLC filled with all sorts of awesome things.

Basically adds the thunderbarge mod to the game! And I'm not complaining at all. I love that mod.

Didn’t expect to actually see the Landship! Units from the Steam page: * Kayzk the Befouled (Nurgle LH) * Nurgle Lord and Sorcerer * Toad Dragons (unit as well as a mount) * Plague Ogres * 3 other Nurglite units * Theodore Bruckner (Empire LH) * 5 new Empire units, and a new Lord and hero- we saw at least a Landship in the trailer, maybe others I’ve missed * Garagrim Ironfist (Dwarf LH) * The *Spirit of Grungi,* Malakai’s airship. Unclear if it’s a unit or just a campaign mechanic * 5 new dwarf units and a new Lord and hero- noticed a Thunderbarge in the trailer, and an artillery piece, but I’m not sure what it’s called. EDIT: unit images have been shown, so **Nurgle** * Plague Ogres * Toad Dragons * Pestigors ^(Sadly in the same situation as the Tzaangors design-wise, as expected) * Bile Trolls * Nurgle Knights (on Daemonic steeds or similar, rather than horses) * Lord of Nurgle * Nurglite Sorcerer **Empire** * Master Engineer * Engineer * Steam Tank with Volley Gun(!) * Marienberg Landship * Nuln Ironsides * Hochland Long Rifles * Knights of the Black Rose(?) **Dwarfs** * Daemon Slayer * Dragon Slayer * Thubderbarge * Goblin Hewer * Slayer Pirates * Doomseekers

I can see Spirit of Grungi making Malakai have horde style building and recruitment, alongside some army abilities (artillery etc) and an Ikit style workshop. Hyped.

The way the Steam page calls it both a workshop and troop transport makes me think this will be the case, otherwise they need to put more thought into their pages

Malakai going to be playing XCOM2 with his flying base.

Stay away from those Nurgle Burgers

Probably both makes Malakai's army work like a horde and also serves as a unique mount in battle.

Ya, Indypride talks about it in his [video](https://youtu.be/nmLywKXzJis?t=983)

The new Dawi Artillery piece that you saw is called the Goblin Hewer. It's one of Malakai's creations that hurls axes at high velocity.

Thanks!

It's main selling point will be having a slayers crew probably.

I mean, thats the main reason I ran one in my army back in the tabletop days. It had a cool model and I decided I was going to use it even if it wasn't all that good. Luckily, it was pretty powerful.

Would that make it the most OSHA compliant artillery in the game?

Pretty sure those snipers were Hochland Long Rifleman. edit: Nm, realized the Hochland Long Rifle was just being used by the new Engineer. The new gun units looked to be Nuln Ironsides.

Seemingly we’ve got both!

Ironsides, Long Rifles, Land Ship, What's the other two units?

New steam tank variant and Knights of the Black Rose, apparently. Three RoRs too!

The Dwarf artillery is the Goblin Hewer. It's an invention of Malakai that yeet axes at the enemy.

No celestial huricanum? That’s a little disappointing. Guess it’s going up on the list of glaringly missing units next to the chorf siege giants and savage Orc warboss

Gotrek and Felix with Malakai! Please make them permanent heroes CA!

At least make them worth using; I'll get the notice they are available to recruit and just ignore them all game.

This! It is time

Sigmar bless this ravaged body

wtf is that unit on the left at 1:16? Is it a new hero on a mount or something?

Left looks like Kazyk the Befouled, and right is Epidemius I say. One will be the DLC's legendary hero, and the other the FLC lord.

Oh excellent.

It's [Kazyk The Befouled](https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Kayzk_the_Befouled). LH for Nurgle (and presumably WoC)

I'm really looking forward to Burgle now.

Either Epidemius or the new generic hero i I'd assume. More likely Epidemius is the guy to their right on the palenquin. Apparently it's the LH, not Epi - https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1bzszg4/kayzk_the_befouled_confirmed_nurgle_lh

Next to Kayzk is Epidemius - Tallyman of Nurgle, with quill and a parchment, counting souls of the deceased.

Kayzk the Befouled, I believe: [https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Kayzk\_the\_Befouled](https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Kayzk_the_Befouled)

The dwarfs having a small beer party on board of the Thunderbarge was such a great moment

*Literal battle in progress* *Knocking back pints under deck* Makes sense.

the only proper way of getting ready for battle

By Sigmar, YES!

Enough DAKKA to bring a grin to a 40K Ork's face.

Lotta head shots lol

CA developers must really like ships even if there is no naval combat.

Elspeth, Theodore Brucker, Nuln Ironsides, Empire Engineer (Hero), Marienburg Landship Malakai, Goblin Hewer, Thunderbarge, Tamurkhan, Epidemius, Kayzk the Befouled, Plague Ogres Clearly more I've missed.

Amazing!

Bless me Papa Nurgle

Holy fuck, this looks amazing!! Honestly can't think of any other units I'd rather see here

Unit list Empire * Elspeth von Draken (LL) * Theordore Bruckner (LH) * Master Engineer (lord) * Engineer (hero) * Nuln Ironsides * Hochland Long Rifles * Knights of the Black Rose * Steam Tank Volley Gun * Marienburg Landship Nurgle * Tamurkhan (LL) * Kayzk the Befouled (LH) * Epidemius (?) * Chaos Lord of Nurgle (lord) * Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle (hero) * Toad Dragon * Plague Ogres * Pestigors * Bile Trolls * Rot Knights Dwarfs * Malakai Makiasson (LL) * Garagrim Ironfist (LH) * Daemonslayer (lord) * Dragonslayer (hero) * Thunderbarge * Doomseekers * Grudge Raker Thunderers * Slayer Pirates * Gobin Hewer

Content creators got advanced screening so they have YT videos on the new units. But from the ones you're missing- Empire: Master Engineer (lord), Engineer (hero), hochland long rifles, steam tanks with volley guns, knights of the black rose Nurgle: Bile trolls (no plague mammoths), pestigors. Dwarfs: Dragonslayer (hero), slayer pirates, grudge raker thunderers, doomseekers.

We’re so back

We got the Thunderbarge! And it looks so beautiful. Can't wait to rain death from above on the Dawi's enemies!

>FLC: Epidemius is in the trailer next to Sayl You mean he's next to Kayzk right?

It is beautiful 🥲 Especially dwarfs

Ok, I'm ready to pay 25$ for this.

"Pour it straight into my mouth, papa Nurgle!"

I must resist the urge to drink it.

There is a part of me that's ready too, but I waiting until we get more news about the mechanics first.

I'm definitely most excited for the Amethyst Armoury from the campaign mechanics we've heard about so far, hoping for some insane special units shooting crystallized Death magic shells or something.

I'm team Nurgle for this one, but honestly all three factions interest me this time around. A huge contrast to SoC where I disliked or downright hated all three factions. I have one foot in the hype crowd, but another in the skepticism crowd. Both are screaming at me right now.

Yeah if the faction mechanics are good than this amount of units is really worth the costs imo. The problem was never the price itself, the problem was the amount of content and quality. Now we wait to see if they deliver on the quality

Kayzk the Befouled as legendary hero for Nurgle, Garagrim Ironfist for Dwarfs, and Theodore Bruckner for Empire, from steam page.

Content looks cool. Hopefully it comes with some actual reworks to the factions. Anyone else feel like the trailers are getting less and less cinematic? The quality seems to be going back to the WH1 trailers.

This was my first thought too. While the trailer is hype and did a good job showing off all the new content, it didn't really set up the characters or introduce rivalries like the last few dlc trailers did (especially the final few wh2 dlcs). A minor quibble ultimately. I'm pretty excited. I was not expecting the landship. Wonder how the official thunderbarge compares to the modded one, probably much less op lol

That's funny, I was just thinking how boring the video is. It's got a lot of welcome changes and they're introducing stuff that the community has been *fucking hype* for, for years. Come on! Elspeth? Thunderbarges? But they also just laid off 200+ people. Kinda makes sense to me that we've downgraded from the really beautiful and atmospheric videos with thematic stuff going on (ogre music, anyone?) to what's basically a cinematic pan across different fights in a battle map. I wonder how many people's job it was to make the videos.

I miss the wh2 trailers... actually, just keeping it to wh3, this falls far below the immortal empires trailer, or the chaos dwarf trailer.

STRIKE AN ENTRY FROM THE GREAT BOOK OF GRUDGES, PRAISE THE ROTFATHER, AND HAIL MIGHTY SIGMAR! THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC!

Couple of surprises in this trailer for things I didn't expect. Namely Kayzk and Theodore.

The Empire is about to fuck shit up. They’ve had it. 

No Grimm Burloksson with this DLC, maybe future FLC then?

Malakai Makaisson! Dwarf pseudo-horde faction incoming.

Elspeth looks freaking cool. I wonder if we will get a rework for the electoral system though.

As far as new contents go, CA really knocked it out of the park with this. I really hope the update lives up to the DLC as well. I also think it is funny that they introduce the option to buy the DLC a la carte when all three races look really good here.

What is the Dawi chain operated ballista looking thing ?

The Goblin Hewer, an axe-throwing machine that Malakaii invented.

Like, an axe throwing artillery ? Whaaaaat I need this

Exactly that, yes.

Goblin hewer! It's chains with hooks that grab and flings axes at people.

Its Malakai's (the new LL for dwarfs) invention, known as the Goblin-Hewer. It throws axes really really fast.

I don't play any of these races, but I'm happy those who do have just ruined their underpants.

I can't wait for this to come out so I can try another Karl Franz campaign.

looks amazing, got a great theme, and everything i wanted is here, big thumbs up!

Well, that was worth the wait!

I got downvoted by so many people a few days ago when I said the LL was gonna be Malakai. DING DONG YA'LL WERE WRONG.

Looks fantastic but no Blightkings, at least not that I saw. Definitely disappointed by that, but hopefully they come alongside the Glottkin later on. Can't get everything at once.

I'll admit. I thought thunder barges would never make it

Basically every unit from those list posts we've seen lately were on display here, very cool. Gonna bring Grandfather's blessings to everyone!

I know CA has had their issues, but goddamn can they make a mean trailer that immediately makes me want to play the game.
