Total War Warhammer End Times
Creative Assembly has a history of not-so-subtle teases for upcoming games, and this time it’s Total War: Warhammer III - and more specifically, the addition of a new Chaos faction. The new game.
Warhammer is a game about little plastic Orcs fighting little plastic Dwarfs, but let's be honest: for some people, it's mostly a game of lovingly painting and customizing little plastic Orcs and little plastic Dwarfs, then putting them back on the shelf. It's only fitting that Total War: Warhammer would have a thriving mod scene months after release, with hundreds of mods out there for customizing units in true tabletop fashion. Of course, there are also mods for tweaking the rules of war and telling Chaos to hold its damn horses for a minute so you can get ready for the End Times.The point is, there are a ton of great Total War: Warhammer mods, and we've updated our guide with the best of them. The following are available via and new mods are being uploaded there all the time, so keep an eye out.In the Total War: Warhammer mod manager you'll see some mods have an exclamation mark signifying that they're “out-of-date”. This means they haven't been updated since the game's most recent expansion but doesn't necessarily indicate a conflict.
Have a look at the comments on the Steam Workshop to see if these mods still work, then check the “enable out-of-date mods” box to continue using them. The main actual conflicts occur between mods that alter starting positions in the campaign or add new factions. Bigger overhauls also cause a lot of conflicts, but Total War: Warhammer is easy to tweak with a personalized selection of individual mods like the following.Page 1: New unitsPage 2:Page 3:Page 4: New units Closer to TabletopIf you want some extra units that fit the official Warhammer background, Closer To Tabletop adds several. It includes Dwarf Dragon Slayers, Reiksguard footsoldiers, and the Imperial Flagellants. Remember those guys from the movie Jabberwocky who were really into whipping themselves? Now you can field units of them.
It also tweaks a few rules relating to units, such as giving Steam Tanks magic resistance and increasing the morale bonus enjoyed by Stubborn troops. Modular Factions - UnlockerIf you're curious about the Old World's smaller states like the French vampires of Mousillon or the Renaissance Italians of the Tilean City States, this makes them playable in the grand campaign. See how things look from the NPCs' side, complete with their own tech trees and legendary leaders. Modder Lokerian has also cooked up complimentary mods like the and which add new units, buildings, items, and so on to make these factions as flavorful as the main ones.
The Southern RealmsAnother mod that's compatible with Modular Factions is The Southern Realms, which significantly expands the Border Princes, Estalia, and Tilea, rounding out their armies with units like Border Rangers and Sartosan Pirates as well as new Heroes. Normally these factions seem like reskinned versions of the Empire, but once modded they feel unique. Southern HordesIn tabletop Warhammer the Orcs and Goblins have a diverse roster full of weird creatures like tiny Snotlings and the bouncy Squigs, which are basically space hoppers with fangs. Southern Hordes rounds out the Greenskins with units like these as well as Stone Trolls, Spider Swarms, Savage Giants and more. It's such a significant addition it's likely to crash your campaign but it works fine in custom battles.
All Tabletop LordsA growing mod that aims to eventually add new Lords based on every possible general available in the wargame, All Tabletop Lords adds characters like the Lahmian Countess, Light Wizard Lord, Daemon Slayer, and Savage Orc Warboss. It's fully compatible with the Call of the Beastmen expansion, so now the Doombull and three new Shaman Lords can lead their stacks. You'll need to start a new save for this mod to work.Goblins (Swords and Axes) and Skeleton Warriors (Scythes)andThe board game HeroQuest introduced lots of kids to Warhammer, and if you have fond memories of its Goblins and Skeleton Warrior miniatures then this pair of mods recreates them. They also add new loading screen art and quotes from the board game. Those Skeletons look pretty intimidating with long-handled scythes. Vampire Counts: Human Levies and Additional Vampire Counts UnitsandThere are humans who live in the cursed land of Sylvania as well as undead, because somebody has to sweep the floors in all those brooding gothic castles. The Human Levies mod lets you field units of those poor peasants, mortals with swords or spears as well as hunters with bows, giving the undead their first ranged weapons.
You're limited to a maximum of two units of archers to prevent them from being too unbalancing. The Additional Vampire Counts Units mod is similar, but adds crossbows and powerful halberdiers if you're less worried about balance. Chaos Dwarf Warrior UnitsYou'll need the Warriors of Chaos DLC to use this one.
In an unmodded game the heavy metal berserkers of Chaos keep Dwarfs around to look after the artillery, but with this they can field entire units of the angry bearded chaps – some with horns and others with ace pointy Babylonian helmets. They carry burning brands for their fire attacks and have high stats, but are costly and need to be recruited via a new building called the Tower of Darkness. Bugman Thrower UnitYou'll need The King and the Warlord DLC for this one, which gives the Dwarfs yet another artillery unit, albeit one with a twist.

It launches burning barrels of Bugman's Brew, and though it's not an accurate weapon when it does hit the damage can be significant. It also buffs the Dwarfs around it, who can't be stopped from taking cheeky sips even if the stuff they're drinking is highly explosive. Ogre LeadbelchersThe Imperials get a new unit in the chubby shape of the Ogre Leadbelchers, mercenaries who give the expression “handcannon” new meaning by lugging around actual cannon barrels to fire at the enemy. They're slow to shoot, but effective when they do.
Screaming Skull CatapultsGiving artillery to the Vampire Counts may not be great for game balance but they certainly look cool. These bone contraptions launch screaming skulls, and even the skeletons who crew them flinch and cover their earholes at the noise.
.: In End Times: Archaon, takes Jerrod aside and tells him to go to Abhorash and Gilles le Breton, and tell the former 'He was right.' Is that what Abhorash was right about was meant to be included in another book, but was unfortunately never implemented.: Let's just say that Warhammer Fantasy lore is tinkered with a bit to get the story going.
The revelation that Malekith was always Asuryan's chosen to be the next Phoenix King after his father. The idea that if he'd only stayed in the sacred fire for a few more seconds, thousands of years of torture, hatred, war and millions of deaths could have been avoided left a lot of High Elf fans very unhappy as it meant that their archenemy was always supposed to be their leader.
It also angered Dark Elf fans who now know their faction leader was right. Vlad being Vashanesh, the former husband of Neferata that earlier lore made pretty clear he made up. Especially since her actual follower Ankhat had been pretty clearly established to be either Vlad or the first of his bloodine in the Time of Legends books just a few years before. Malekith is able to buy Caledor's loyalty for his invasion of Ulthuan via a huge number of dragon eggs that the Dark Elves had apparently been hoarding. For years, it was established that Mannfred died in the battle of Hel Fenn (death by Rune Fang to the head) and centuries later he was resurrected (in previous editions there is a short story of this written by William King, with the presence of Gotrek and Felix).
In 'The End Times' they change this for no reason and simply say that Mannfred survived Hel Fenn battle, faked his death, and was all these years acting from the shadows. Now the question is how did he manage to survive that his head was split in half because of the Runic Fang of Stirland. He also still apparently fought the pair at some point for unrelated reasons.
Araloth travels through the Realm of Chaos and returned perfectly, without the power of chaos affecting him physically, mentally and/or, spiritually. Apparently, traveling to the land of demons, source of all magic, corruption and mutation is not big deal. And remember that we are in the End of Times, when it is supposed that the power of Chaos to be at its peak. Also, in that plane of pain and horror he was helped by a figure that is heavily hinted to be Kaldor Draigo from 40000, the Mary Sue to end all Mary Sues. When he realized he couldn't beat Grimgor in a fight. Malekith bends the knee to the orc warboss. Asuryan's chosen, everyone!
And instead of killing him, as greenskins tend to do to non-greenskins in Fantasy, Grimgor, known for hating every one and loathing weaklings, lets him live. And that's how Malekith and the remaining elves of his host of shadows became very temporarily part of Grimgor's Waaagh before the end of the world.

A great deal of the conflicts in the first part of the story is driven by daemons invading the world in advance of the Warriors of Chaos making their move. However, it had been established at length in prior lore that the Great Vortex at the centre of Ulthuan had been created to prevent precisely that from happening, draining excess magic out of the world so that daemons could not materialise. This meant that whenever the forces of chaos did want to summon daemons, it took a great deal of ritual and preparation by their sorcerers to saturate the area with enough magic that the daemons would be able to hold their form.:. The of the End Times campaign where Chaos wins and the world is destroyed pretty much made a LOT of people unhappy, especially fans of the non-Chaos/Skaven factions.
Not to mention the fact that at the end of the final book, the forces of good were on the verge of victory, and then cue, it says the heroes lost. On the other hand, many people also found the campaign quite ballsy in finally delivering the apocalypse that had been alluded to in the background for over 30 years. We could probably continue the main page's caption under the page image with ' replaces.' If we were feeling snarky.: During the finale of the Warhammer Fantasy world, the Skaven become an inexplicable superpower. They destroy the Lizardman Empire.
And the Dwarf Empire. And Bretonnia. And Morsleib. They also blow up Nagash's Black Pyramid. This gets reversed in the last entry; the surviving named Skaven characters inexplicably vanish from the narrative, and the Skaven are suddenly reduced to ineffectual cannon fodder for the main Chaos force.: One criticism of the End Times by some. In general, the various evil factions (Chaos, Skaven, Vampire Counts) invariably curbstomp the forces of Order even when they logically shouldn't.

Almost every single individual battle involves them coming out on top, barring a few exceptions. Even when the good guys do pull out any kind of victory, it's pyrrhic at best and swiftly rendered moot later.
For specific examples, see ' on the main page. Some have noted that the overriding idea behind the entire End Times, that Chaos' victory was assured from the start and the forces of Order never had a chance of beating them, casts a shadow even onto Fantasy's successor,. After all, if Chaos always wins, then what chance does the next world have, and so what's the point in getting invested in it?.: Despite ostensibly being on the side of Order, Lileath's plans, as enacted by Teclis, seem as though they're deliberately designed to make the situation even worse.
