Fortunately for my wallet, I have an on-going Shogun 2 campaign and then I need to play WH2 and ToB campaigns.

Probably about as close to "normal" units as we'll see in this game.  :D

Don't forget about Wrath of Sparta!  (I'm honestly curious what your take on that will be.)  :P

A short article on Kislev's other legendary lord:  Kostaltyn - Supreme Patriarch of the Cult of Ursun, and the leader of the Grand Orthodoxy.

He kinda comes across as a more feral version of Volkmar.  Sounds fun.  :biggrin:

For all that the Chaos factions don't appear that they'll be my personal cup of tea, I could still see myself taking this guy out for a spin on occasion.  He looks kinda fun.

Kislev's full faction roster: 


https://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-warhammer-3-kislev-roster-reveal/



Looks awesome; I love that most units have 2 variants, allowing for greater tactical flexibility.  I foresee Kislev overtaking the Empire as everyone's favorite human faction. 

Also:  Bears are way cool.

That roster is great, but I bet the Cathay roster will just be something else!

CA discusses changes & additions to battles in Warhammer 3: 


https://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-warhammer-3-survival-battles-battle-changes/



I'll readily concede it's weird, but what probably excites me most are the changes & improvements to auto-resolve.  The bit about telling you in advance which units will likely be lost should be a major QoL improvement. 


I also noticed that any & all discussion of siege battles are conspicuously absent.  I hope that just means it's because CA is saving some of the good stuff for later, but I do worry.
