Surprise! Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting one more faction at launch, the Daemons of Chaos, led by none other than the Daemon Prince himself.
This is the eighth and “final” race to be available in Warhammer 3 at launch, joining the two human races of Kislev and Grand Cathay, the four other Chaos races of Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Nurgle, and the pre-order bonus race of the Ogre Kingdoms. Here’s a trailer.
The Daemons of Chaos’ main gimmick is their heavy customisability. Worshipping “Chaos Undivided” as opposed to one specific god, the faction can use units from all four of the other Chaos races, creating an “unprecedented” number of army combinations compared to other factions in the series. In practise this is done by devoting a captured settlement to a specific Chaos God out of the above four, which then lets you create buildings and spawn units from that faction.
