English developer Creative Assembly turns 30 next week, and to celebrate the event, they're releasing some special units (30, to be exact) for Total War: WARHAMMER today. These "Regiments of Renown" are added to the five playable races that haven't received any yet from prior updates, specifically The Beastmen, The Wood Elves, Chaos, Bretonnia and (the newly released) Norsca.
The last big update to CA's Total War: WARHAMMER was the addition of the Beastman race this past summer. I enjoyed the opportunity to play a race that was a part of my tabletop experience in my youth, but I was just waiting for the real pièce de résistance: the Wood Elves.
The "Grim and the Grave" DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER dropped yesterday, bringing with it two new Legendary Lords for the Empire and Vampire Count factions, new units, and a handful of other goodies. Along with that new content, Creative Assembly released some more "free-LC" in the form of a Legendary Lord for the Vampire Counts: Vlad von Carstein.
Prior to the game's release, Creative Assembly laid out their DLC plans for Total War: WARHAMMER on the Total War Wiki. In addition to the Race Pack, which we saw with the Beastmen, and the "Free-LC," the British developer would also be releasing Lord Packs that would contain two new Legendary Lords, new units, and new "Units of Renown." The first one of these packs, "Grim and the Grave," will be released next week.
The first big piece of paid DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER arrived yesterday. The "Call of the Beastmen" added a new playable race (the Beastmen) and a mini-campaign for them, but there was some content that found its way into the game as well.
I've been spending a lot of time playing Total War: WARHAMMER these past few days. I have fond memories of the tabletop version back when I was in high school and, for me, Creative Assembly has done an excellent job of translating that into a video game that captures many of its ideas and mechanics. While not all of the playable races/factions may be present, CA has plans to add at least one more, the Beastmen, very soon.

Like many youths on the mean, winding streets of Bland County, Virginia, my capacity to have fun centered around creating fun for myself. Friends usually lived far beyond walking distance, and getting to see them was an event saved for weekends, summer camps, or Boy Scout meetings. Thus, keeping myself entertained meant playing games an...
