Recently, I got my hands on a copy of Total War: WARHAMMER. I played for some time to get familiar with the gameplay, which are similar to older TW games that I played. What I can say from those few hours is that the game is awesome. It has a lot of lore from the Warhammer universe and mixes great with the style of TW. It looks great and it has a pretty good story campaign.
I wanted to know what you think of TW: WARHAMMER. Reply down in the comments.
I haven't played it but I've watched a playthrough of it, and I have to say it looks pretty good. I grew up on Rome and Medieval 2, but haven't played any in the franchise since. It definitely seems different, but a Total War game in a fantasy setting is going to be awesome regardless, and the Vampire Counts look like a tonne of fun.

Same Zon, I grew up on Rome. I wasn't so sure at release, but I heard they made a lot of improvements to the game in general to make it really really good.

I think part it is because it looks so different. Building tabs are all fancy and integrated and even the movement is all smooth instead of the boxy stuff I'm used to. But if its mainly an aesthetic difference I'm cool with it, although the different stances for armies still confuses me.

That sounds amazing. I've played the LOTR mod for Medieval 2 and I thought the monsters in that were crazy, but FLYING STUFF. I wouldn't even know how it works but I know I want it.

That does sound amazing! I haven't played a Total War game since Rome 2, but I'm tempted to buy this one now.
Mr. Edd said: @Zonnon it's mainly new races, new factions, a new campaign, some new mechanics but, most importantly, the first FLC they will launch about a month after the release of Total Warhammer II is a Grand Campaign featuring the Old World (game 1) and the New World and the Southlands (game 2), all in one big map with all factions from both games.
So its like an enormous DLC? Thats pretty cool, I don't know anything about Warhammer but I imagine playing as a fantasy race would be awesome. And the Grand Campaign will feature stuff from 1 as well?! Bloody hell, that must be the biggest map in the TW franchise.
