There are two varieties, a (cheaper) melee one, and an Ice Wolves missile chariot. They are the closest you’ll get to conventional Total War: Warhammer cavalry in this faction though.Ĭhariots: To be honest I find chariots a little too micro intensive to use very often, so I’m not the best person to offer tactical suggestions for these. Horsemasters’ main selling point is actual armour and slightly better melee/defense stats, but that comes at a pretty heavy price. I’m not totally convinced the Horsemasters are worth the extra cost the basic type have the same major benefits (Vanguard, mobility – in fact the basic Horsemen are slightly faster). Units will get a kind of white smoke effect when Rage or Berserk are popping off. The Rage and Berserk mechanics (most of the infantry has one or the other) mean that the longer a unit stays in combat, the more damage it’ll be putting it. Your infantry, for the most part, is not very well armoured, but can dish out a lot of damage once in combat. The Norsca forces in Total War: Warhammer are a core of raging Viking types, monstrous infantry, short-ranged missile support, missile cavalry, and a few expensive, specialty units like Frost-Wyrms and Mammoths. I’m not sure if that’s the same for the others, but you can practice them beforehand through the Quest Battle option on the main menu if you want a preview of what the fight will be like. I battled the Eagle challenger (who was invincible for a short period at the start of the battle), and he had both Norsca and Beastmen friends show up. Again, the army will be a strong Chaos composition, and will receive reinforcements throughout the fight. That means, at least, you can leave it until you feel ready. You can’t use that trick for the third challenger, which appears on the map as a classic Total War: Warhammer quest battle. If the god has a special reward unit (like the Sorcerer), they’ll be present as a foe.

The armies are strong Chaos compositions, full of Chosen, Chaos Spawn, Chaos Trolls, Warriors, and the like. They’ll head directly for your Legendary Lord (ignoring settlements) so don’t worry about suddenly having to protect distant towns. First, two will appear from the Northern Chaos Wastes.
Since I didn’t go down this path I don’t know exactly what the plague does to the rest of the Total War: Warhammer realm, but it’s probably something like global attrition, lowered replenishment rates, more Chaos corruption, or some combination of those.Īs soon as you achieve that third level with a god, the other three will send armies after you. Finally, The Crow reward says it spreads a plague around the world from which your troops are immune. If you opt for The Eagle, you can recruit a special Lord of Change as a general for one of your armies. Serving The Hound gets you a special Hell Cannon artillery piece. The Serpent gives you a Level 30 Chaos Sorcerer (Fire, Metal, Shadows mix) mounted on a dragon. Try to aim for any technologies or character skills that say they will reduce army upkeep (or on specific unit types), and take advantage of any random events that come your way (some of them have a temporary reduced upkeep option too). That requires a fair amount of gold, and at the same time you’re increasing your upkeep. The trickiest period is towards the end of the early campaign segment (Turns 15-35 or so) when you’re trying to both construct your building chains and expand to two armies.
By the end of my Total War: Warhammer Wintertooth campaign I had 120,000 banked and enough military power to roll over just about any city I pleased so it really didn’t matter that my three armies were bleeding out 4,000 each turn. Aim for the wealthier settlements (usually capitals) – you can see how much a city will return when sacked by hovering the mouse over them when you’re within striking distance. As you acquire more gold through raiding, sacking, and external challenges like Hunts and Quests, your per-turn-losses become less relevant.
