No elves yet, but they may come with an expansion pack.

Just saw my email and watched the trailer. I'm a huge fan of Total War: Empires and hope that this will be in the same style.

I play alot of TW:Rome and the mechanic on the battlefield is very similar to the effect in warhammer. It was only a matter of time before these two were put together.

Looks fun, will be interesting to see how it feels to play it though - video footage only does so much for me.

I wonder whether the game ends with the entire world exploding...

Well I only played Total War: Shogun 2 (out of the total war series) and I thought it was great. I agree with the sentiment that Warhammer should translate pretty well to the style of their game.

As for the world exploding at the end, that'll probably be paid DLC !lol!

Total war games never disappointed so far so this looks awesome indeed

Thank GW for their consistent approach to their universe, eh?

Also take a look at http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Wha ... -of-Sigmar for some hilarious 8th was so not cool PR...

Great looking game. I have high hopes for this.

@Rork - I especially like one of the highlights of the game being the new Gold spray. It wouldn't surprise me if it works out gram for gram more expensive than real gold :)

Chaos Black spray is almost on par with the gold price - it cost me $29 AUD the other day for one can... gulp!

Yeah, it looks great, hopefully they do a really good job and everything is perfectly balanced, just like 8th :lol:

Hopefully it will expand to include all races as well.

No problem. Me too, hopefully they can hit all their goals and not be in a situation where they end up releasing something half-baked like the video-game trend seems to be nowadays.

Yeah, apparently in the leaks the ending is a fade to black with white text stating "and then they all got splattered..."
