beastmen players hiding behind the trees and licking their lips as their race gets a new unit with each dlc.

This shift from Thrones of Decay success has been awesome.

You know I'm okay with this. I'm happy we just know what's coming. Instead of 4 or 5 months of dead silence until a trailer randomly drops.

I think it'd be sick and fitting for this dlc if the reason they're giving for Gorbad being alive is that he got thrown into Khorne's realm all those years ago, and he's been krumpin there ever since. At the start of the campaign he gets spit back into the real world. The warp can always be used as an excuse to throw characters into different time periods.

On the topic of Greenskin lifespans, there is an excerpt in the lore from a Hobgoblin mercenary describing a legendary Khan who was so powerful that he managed to die of old age in his bed without anyone daring to challange or backstab him even during his weakest moments. Also Orc Bullies, warmachine crews in the TT, are said to be old Orcs who aren't in fighting shape anymore. So I don't think fantasy Greenskins are effectively immortal, though GW might allways retcon that. Eitherway, unlike Grom I don't expect Ironclaw's campaign to be about his return - I think like Repanse he is simply going to exist out of time.

“He rides upon the Hound of Khorne. He wields the Blood God's Destroyer. Never has he suffered defeat, and his followers call his name after every glorious feat! Arbaal! Arbaal! ARBAAL!”

I mean multiple Legandary Lords are dead in the main timeline.

Imagine if Gold gets the ice wizard mechanic to get way better Maneater characters and units. Maybe over the course of like 5 turns you choose the journey of the maneater which determine their equipment and looks. Golgprides maneater spent time fighting in the empire and really got into guns and eating Orcs so you get a pistol-wielding empire-looking hero who gets bonuses against Orcs

I think Gorbad is a good choice for this dlc for what units are left for the greenskins. Because he used a lot of different units then just orcs in his battles against the empires. ( I will like to see the other variants of orcs and goblins to)

There is one thing I have noticed that can be used to predict which characters will be added in the future. If there is a generic lord with the characters name already in the campaign then they will not be added. (Gorfang Rotgut and Marius Leitforf being two examples of this.) though the main thing to look for is which characters don’t have generic versions. Luther Harkon was not the lord of the vampire coast faction before he was added. Same goes for Eltharion, Hellebron, Malus, Throt, Snikitch and the list goes on. In terms of predicting who will come. Look for characters who are significant for their absence. They already have an obvious faction, but the factions leader is not them. Neferata is the most obvious to me as the Lahmian sisterhood exists but some random vampire lord is the leader.

Slaanesh, Norsca and Vampire Counts better get a DLC.

*BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!*

I think the reason for greenskins is to give them an easy faction to do as they can pretty much just insert the lord. Especially as they went with the easiest Greenskin Lord to do. Maybe “downsizing” was them taking on less reworks.

hoping for the "poops in our butts" DLC title

GUTS OUT BOYS

I think they found a giant SoC package is unpalatable and they panicked and split up ToD, and announcing they're downsizing future ones. Then it probably turned out that splitting them up a la carte was profitable overall, so they're back at it. It was probably Khorne and Ogres, they tacked on Greenskins probably because as you said, they're so complete mechanically already.

When in doubt. Release Orks.

Most important part of Mr.Maneater for me is he’ll be an actual badass fighting ogre. Of the two we have currently one is too fat to stand up and the other is limited by his cauldron. I expect Mr.Maneater to have some great combat animations to sell how big and strong he is the same way Tamurkhan has. It’s time for ogres to have cool ogre stuff not nurgle.

I'm so glad they're finally focusing on Immortal Empires and releasing DLC focused on that. It's what we've been waiting for. The increased communication is good too.

the dudes rock moshpit dlc

Here come the bois

VC will receive some love in a near future, so i can live with that. Also, Colossal Squigs on the way?

I wonder if they will have Gorbad get a "Daemon-killa" special, where Khorne was so impressed by the killing Gorbad brought, he brought him and his mob to the Realms of Chaos. Now, Khorne simply grew bored, and just demands MORE

I really hope we get that Lizardmen rework before the trilogy stops getting supported!

Arbaal: I have never once suffered defeat CA: The DLC legendary lord for Khorne is going to be Skulltaker Arbaal: I have only once suffered defeat

Man im so excited my ogres are getting more love! I really hope we see some sort of maneater system like you said. I also hope they go through and add unique features to the other two ogre lords so that The Maneater doesnt completely outshine them.

Easy solution for Ironclaw to be present, he was thrown into the warp and just got spat out. Probably won't use that but still.

For LHs, we can get Gitilla da Hunta for GS, Scyllla Anfingrimm for Khorne & literally anyone for Ogres (though I am hoping for Bragg the Gutsman).

I'm so glad Gorbad finally gets to make his appearance.

Thanks for the video

What if Khorne saw the blood being shed by the mighty waagghh and pulled him into the realm of chaos, and now hes being spat back out to do more damage? Could give him a connection to khorne as well for the dlc

I honestly was expecting slannesh next based on the little teaser image from that old roadmap that came out a year ago, but im quite happy that its khorne, ive been really looking forward to skulltaker

About anacronism regarding Gorbad. Remember that Grimgor was there for the rebellion of the Black Orcs millenia ago. AFAWK Gorbad was never found dead or killed and orcs seem to be able to live possibly forever. I do agree though that it would be weird for him to not be heard for this long. That said, we have Repanse so doesn't really matter.

there are a few small things you can get out of watching the interview, 2 I remember are a hint toward colossal squigs and mentioning an flc lord

I'm thinking that there's going to be a start position shift for the Ogres once Golg gets implemented. It makes more sense for him to be in the Border Princes (where Skrag currently is) to flesh out his mercenary background, while Skrag could be shifted to be closer to the Mountains of Mourn or down towards the Southlands.

Im actually excited about WH3 now. Cant wait for the Khorne DLC and everything beyond.

They could easily explain Gorbad Ironclaw’s inclusion in the timeline being that he got sucked into the realm of Khorne and has been fighting nonstop for centuries, only to get spat back out in the current timeline. Since time works differently in the realms of Chaos, it could have only felt like a few days/weeks/months to Gorbad rather than centuries. This Would also set up a conflict between him and Skulltaker as one of U’zhul’s “marks” had effectively escaped from Khorne’s realm.

They never said they were moving away from triple lords, they said they were reducing the scope of upcoming DLC. Which is why we're now seeing them drop support for RoC and moving reworks into interim patches.

14:00 thanks for the understanding man! I am pretty damn sad that we will no longer get narrative campaigns in the future and I appreciate that you are one of the few who is not gloating about its removal ❤❤❤

Dont leave us that long again! I dont play the game anymore but i still love your content! Also i may actually get back into the game with this next update. Greenskins are my fav race, hands down, but i also enjoy khorne and orges alot as well.

I swear i thought this was another elden ring dlc announcement for a second till i realized who uploaded this 😂

A little sad we aren't getting ghark ironskin or gorfang. They would have been good choices for flc, but I'm also someone who don't really care about khorne.

As I foreseen End of year would be a miracle to come out a new DLC

I mean Grimgor is confirmed over 2.5k years old as he was scarred as a runt by a chaos dwarf and the black orcs broke free in -100IC. As the current timeline is about 2500IC we see the implication that orcs are functionally immortal.

I’d love more squig action. Colossal squig, squig launchers, squig mounts / attack squig ancillaries, just more squigs

They gotta do something with that blocked off continent space. Dogs of War would have easy shipping lane access there and we aren't sure what changes to the mercenary system would do for a DoW campaign as far as victory conditions.

I’m gonna have some money later in the year, and some soon! So which DLC while I wait for this one? Ogres? Chaos Dwarves? Warden and the Paunch?

We are into the final strokes.

What I would say is interesting, is that they only showed in-game footage of Gold-F, so that tells me they were def on the docket next

Pretty damn good time to be a Total war Warhammer fan ngl

10:42 Grom the Paunch no?

You KNOW I'm hyped. Been waiting on Arbaal since game one launched. I know he's not confirmed, but I really can't think of any other Khornate LL worth adding really so odds are very high. And I think I see what happened after reading various forums. There are many Arbaal fans, who say Skulltaker is just a glorified herald and boring. And there are many skulltaker fans who say Arbaal is just a glorified Chaos Lord with a fancy mount, and they would rather have Skulltaker. For all we know, they flipped a coin, or maybe they counted the requests in their discord and forum to decide which would headline, and which would be the FLC LL. I don't care either way, so long as he comes in all his glory! Because they are about equal as fan favorites. Wouldnt be the first FLC LL with a unique mount we have gotten...... And I am sort of hoping they do the southern realms at some point. Fill out the rest of the kingdom of man so me and my fellow Khornate brothers can burn it all to the ground....

you should do a video about the dev blog for itemization in darktide. im too add to read it all lmao

My dream is a Daniel type maneater lord/hero customization feature. A bunch of parts to make them however we want.

What game are all the cut scenes from? Where all the races are standing around a table planning?

Can we still put white in front of everything though or is that also illegal too? I'm guessing it only works one direction.

For greenskins, I really hope they end up getting colossal squigs and squigadons (a white dwarf magazine unit) as new monsters

I think the unique man eaters will either be an ROR, or they will use the unique models as the generic heroes and/or generic lords(ie. Ninja man eater as a a man eater champion and cross dress as the lord). Maybe we just get an elite group of different looking man eaters with unique attack animations in one unit, but I think that's too hard to do.

Scyla Anfingrimm has to be for Norsca, it's one of the few interesting units that belongs to them

0:26 I still wish we had that glows. Sad it never made to wh3 in the end.

I definitely wanna see more chaos dwarf stuff..

Did i hear that right? This DLC will come in november/december?

1:30 devs said that 'at the back of the end of this year' the game will be released, so we have to wait for the next DLC a very long time.

sounded for me after khorne, ogre, orc dlc pack the next one will be slaanesh, norsca and either vampires or lizardmen

why does Gorbad Ironclaw have the Dark Lands orc icon?

Awesome

Official Title: Farts of Blood

Holy, I did not expect them to go that far into the past that they'd bring freaking Gorbad back!

I'm sad about Gorfang Rotgut not being in, my favourite Greenskin, but I suspect this DLC will be fun nonetheless.

13:29 Hold on... what abotu Ind, Khuresh, Nipon?, Aesling stuff etc. I hope they will support it for longer.

I’d really like CA to add Empire Ogres to the Roster too. Ogres in Empire uniforms like Mordheim. Maybe very limited.

I love greenskins- I agree with your logic about Gorbad, and while I didn't expect him, I certainly hoped for him!

There's a precedent for the anachronism among Greenskins already - Grom.

Ogres, khorne and greenskins. God damn how perfect a matchup could they pick?

Honestly with a title like "Rivers of Blood" you'll understand if I was expecting to see a Vampire Count. Ushoran or a Blood Dragon like Abhorash would make sense if we're going for the more brutish melee slog theme for the DLC.

11:45 apparently Gorthor the Beastlord is a joke to you Indy 😂 And I think the red Duke and Mussillon also should get content too along with middlenland and skaven

This DLC is a rare opportunity for CA to do the Mercenary machanic of the Ogres justice. I think acess to Maneaters should be made sooner with a tier 2 building variant Ogre Kingdoms - From Tier 2/3/4/5 Building Contract missions in the form of a battles similar maybe to the old Reinforce the Empire mechanic seige battle. Reward would be, besides gold, reputation, allegiance points, the option to add the recruit of a specific Maneater unit to a pool. This unit would be race specific depending on the faction of the completed mission. Additionally, recruitment costs and upkeep of that specific kind of unit could be reduced by 0-50%. Camps - besides ogre bulls, if allied with the Ogre faction, you would have access to the Maneaters race specific unit as a mercenary from one of their camps. Represented Races - Maneaters of the recruiting faction's race can be recruited from a camp belonging to an allied Ogre Faction. In addition, after reaching lvl 9 expirience lvl for an Ogre Bull Mercenary unit, the faction will receive a recuitable Maneater unit specific to their race in the global recruitment pool. Upon recruitment of that unit, if the Ogre Bull has not been disbanded already, this action disbands the Ogre Bull unit from the Lord's army. Maneaters would all have 16 models instead of the 24 of Bulls on ultra. I will give some ideas that coul be used for units and a description of the look: Tier from tier 2 building The Savage Bunch- Ogre Bulls 2H (Firebelly skin whitout the mask) Description: "Ogre Maneaters fighting alongside Savage Greenskins don't know if charging smeared in Warpaint and shouting "Wagh!" helps their chances of winning, but then again, it seems to work for the Orcs." Tier 2 Not AP but Frenzy , Warpaint 20% Ward save 16 models on ultra (Immunity to Badlands Attrition) Tier 3 (Butcher Model) Vampire Maneater "After being in the service of the undead, the Maneaters have found out that if they don't devour the enemy during the fight, the slain might rise up and service their employers, leaving them with no extra snacks for their unnatural hunger." Hunger (Immunity to Vampire Attrition) Kislev Maneater 3 "After countless battles alongside Kislev's armies the Maneaters have learned that the courage to stand and fight instead of running will allow one to win against overwhelming odds." By our blood Tier 4 Norscan Maneater (Hunter Model) Description: "Norscan contracts usually involve battling some sort of monster. Because of that, Maneaters have found that, besides matching the ferocity of the North men in combat, it does not hurt to have a javelin or two ready." Enrage Special Ranged Weapon (Immunity to Frozen Attrition) Tier 4 Empire Maneater (Irongut model) Description: "Since giving an ogre even the smallest amount of Sword training produces devastating results, any troops fighting alongside them will be confident in the thick of battle." 16 Models Encourage 40 Armor Tier 5 Dwarf Maneater Blasting Charge, Armored 110 Armor "There is a disagreement amongst Maneaters about what is the best part of fighting for dwarfs. Some say it is the dwarf ale, dwarf pay or dwarf equipment. Regardless all can agree that working for the dawi has multiple advantages." Just a few ideas. If not units, then at least ROR or a specific mechanic for Golg.

I'm excited for there to be a normal ogre LL, I never play that faction because I can't stand greasus on his mobility scooter its just too silly for my tastes, and skrag is okay but hes pretty insane looking I would like just a big badass ogre lord to play.

I am so happy the keep the tod style lord pack with the same amount of content ogres gonna eat good

If they got the forest goblins they could introduce a couple new spells from the spider god

Gooorrrbaaàddd!

Was low key hoping for Wood Elves but I’ll take these 🤩

What I like to think is that an FLC Arbaal might bring some fraction of fleshhound buff/synergy and would pair nicely with Karanak. If they put it that way it's a small but kind gesture to combine both for free instead of putting Arbaal behind the paywall of DLC content. Quite far fetched and only important to those hesitant of buying the DLC - BUT nice none the less. Let's see if this works out at all ^^

The lords I hope to see before this series ends is Finubar the Phoenix King, Neferata, and Konrad von Carstein. I know Konrad won't come in, but god I wish it had been him over Ghorst. Hopefully Nagash will be at least like some sort of mechanic for Neferata.

I don't think Skullreapers or Wrathmongers will make the cut, because those were introduced in AoS I think, and from memory I think CA are resistant to the idea of putting AoS models into the lineup. Which is why I think we didn't get the Slaaneshi Infernal Enrapturess' or the Slickblade Archers for example. Khornegors almost feel like a necessity. From memory; Skulltaker could also ride a Chariot as well.

It’s not worth much, but… I called all three lords baby! 🤟 Very pleased about this lineup! And glad to hear such a positive vision for future DLC being articulated by the devs!

Interesting they've gone for a character from the war of the 3 emperors. The same time as Old-world

We will buy the DLC. We will support this franchise. We won’t be exploited for sub par content. Even if you have nothing to say just let us know you are doing something

Idea for deamon prince. Chaos undivided needs to be included in settlements. Like norsca.

The video from Total War made it sound more like the Thundertusk would have a breath weapon, and its ranged damage would come from dudes on top with crossbows, like that one Stonehorn variant that got thrown in. Which would disappoint me.

Finally, Miyazaki found out how to make rivers of blood 2, he just put it in a different game. i can't wait for the 'corpse piler' unit.

rivers of blood, oceans of skulls lakes of ligaments

Another khorn legendary hero? Right after Karnate?

Can't wait ! So I can be selfish and have high hopes....since it's a long wait, they should give us a Zneetch FLC. Just my opinion, that would be dope!

Greenskins funnily enough miss tons of units, in the form of variants. I'm hoping this DLC will bring them, that way CA can pump out more quantity, with less effort.

Tomb Kings really needs a DLC too. Still 1 generic lord, missing Apophas, Khemrik Titan and such. Hopefully they don't get forgotten about

I’m very happy to see those leaks from before weren’t very true and everything isn’t just Cathay, Cathay, Cathay, Cathay, Cathay, Cathay, Cathay, Cathay.

Not sure if it's supported in the lore, but I'd love to see the Greenskins get some gunpowder weapons. In the same vein as the arrer boys, have them be incredibly inaccurate but hit like a truck. That, or please just give us some kind of flying unit finally. I love playing greenskins but I'd really like to be able to fight battles in a way other than "smash into the enemy with the biggest stuff you've got"

Isn't Grom also from the past?

Kinda disappointed we're not getting forest gobbos :( I hope we'll get them at some point as an FLC. I also truly believe they're gonna add the Snakemen of Khuresh at some point, Ind is probably gonna be incorporated into Cathay unfortunately, but CA set aside a HUGE portion of the IE map for Khuresh AND moved Nakai just north of it, setting up a natural Lizardmen vs. Snakemen rivalry. It also makes sense if you consider GW could make more money by adding Snakemen to Warhammer: The Old World. I very much think that's still on the table.
