Don't know how many more updates CA is going to develop for this game. I feel like it's ending its lifecycle. 


All CA have promised us at this point is Nagash and Thanquo. 


I could see the next DLC being Undead focused, maybe another 3 faction pack. Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings, Dark Elves with a Legions of Nagash race similar to "Demons of Chaos" where he can choose undead units from any of the three factions. At least I'm sure Vampire Counts will be the next focus for CA. 


Dogs of War is my last really big want in terms of races. Nippon would be incredible but CA isn't going to do another Minor faction. 


After that maybe an Endtimes DLC focused on Warriors of Chaos, Empire, and Skaven

DoW has waited long enough!  It should have come out a year after CDs.  But we've been stuck doing this Chaos 4-pack for years.


8.0 Dogs of War(Borgio + Lucrezzia + Marco + Lietpold)
9.0 Vampire Bloodlines(Walach + Neferata + Zacharias + Ushoran)
10.0 Skaven(Thanquol) + Cathay(Monkey King) + Empire(Emil Valgeir)
11.0 Undead Legions(Nagash) + Tomb Kings(Sehenesmet) + Vampire Coast(Zheng Shih)
12.0 Beastmen(Ghorros) + Bretonnia(Bohemond) + Wood Elves(Araloth)
13.0 Cathay(Yin-Yin) + Dark Elves(Tullaris) + Lizardmen(Tetto'eko)
14+ Character Packs!

I'm hoping for Dogs of War next, since they're technically an army book race.

After that, I'd expect something with the Monkey King.

It’s high time for some Cathay content, as it’ll be two years since their last drop. Likely the Monkey King, but who knows? That being said, I could equally also see CA dropping the Dogs of War next now that each WH3 race has received a piece of content.

With Norsca being updated in ToT and assuming that the third race is High Elves, next in line are Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings and Skaven. And simply putting all three of them in a single DLC would work great. Alternatively, CA might update Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings in some sort of an Undead pack, but either way giving new stuff to Vampire Counts is more urgent than adding DoW, in my opinion.

DoW campaign pack.

Then Monkey King vs Tullaris Dreadbringer vs Abhorash - Showdown of Mastery DLC. 

Then lizardmen since they could use a touch up too. Lizardmen vs Kislev vs Tomb Kings? Kislev doesnt need that much, so CA could totally focus on updating a different race for first time and Tomb Kings only need new units. Daniel rework? Empire updates for Wulfhart and Volkmar? Map expansions? Siege overhaul? 

Then Thanquol with whomever fits best. Nagash is not promised, so no idea where the notion comes from. CA expressed difficulties with implementation. They can't make him a lord as it stands currently.

I could have sworn they promised Nagash, maybe not as a legendary lord but to include him somehow. 

I always figured he'd work like the Demon Prince and just have his own special faction that can recruit units from all the undead races. They could given give Legendary Heroes  and Morghast units

New race, then Cathay (personally I expect Li Dao the most).

Thats how he SHOULD work, but just thinking about jt, how would CA do him justice like that? With all his lioutenants present in game? They can't make reasonable shortcuts either, because he doesn't fit as a Vampire Count. He's too big for that. Obviously not a Tomb King...where else can he go? He's just on a different level to everything there is. Demigod. 


Although Rich Aldridge ultimately says to us, that we should dream on about him, so discussions shouldn't stop.

I'd say either DoW, or a Cathay focused with Monkey King and/or Li Dao.


I hope for a Ind/Khuresh new race to fill this big empty gap.

As others have said, likely a new race in the Dogs of War, possibly a CoC style pack for the Vampire Bloodlines. They may break away from three-way packs and return to duo packs for LPs in the future, now that all the monos have been covered.  If that results in a faster turn around for the LPs I'm down for that. Hopefully we'll see some individual character packs down the line too as smaller additions on a more frequent scale.

DoW and then hopefully VC Bloodlines + Nagash. After that they can return to the normal 3 LP Formular until the game gets axed.

​I can imagine us getting a Dogs of War race pack (hopefully with 4 legendary lords this time, unlike the Chaos Dwarfs), followed by another 4-lord pack involving three different races. If CA continues to follow the rule of including at least one Warhammer 3 core race in every DLC, then it would mean something like that:


  • Dogs of War race pack
  • Cathay(Monkey King) vs X vs Y
  • Kislev vs X vs Y
  • Nurgle vs X vs Y
  • Cathay(Yin Yin/Li Dao) vs X vs Y


I think Dogs of War plus 4 more lord packs is the most we’re going to get. Nurgle as only monogod race still has potential for one more DLC with his stuff from The End Times. Kislev will probably also get another DLC with more new content from the Old World. Cathay will likely get two more lord packs + FLC legendary lord.  That means 8 DLC slots for non Warhammer 3 core races. 


I’m not expecting Champions of Chaos-style DLC for Vampire Counts which, unlike CoC for WoC, wouldn’t be a DLC covering five races. I think Vampire Counts will only get a standard lord pack with Neferata. 


I really doubt that the existing races will still be missing anything significant after another four major lord packs, aside from a few interesting characters and some unnecessary, obscure units from side sources.


It would be nice if we got something like a Character Pack containing only legendary lords, legendary heroes, and maybe some generic lords/heroes, but I don’t have high hopes for that.

DoW first to mark the end of an LP cycle, then MK to start up the next.

I just hope it's Dogs of War al last. Then, it's time to add the Legendary Lords that are missing from the game, I don't care the formula (hoping for a Vampire Counts CoC-style Bloodlines DLC, though).

- DoW

- Monke vs Thanquol vs Emil Valgeir

Not making DoW for Warhammer 2 was a mistake imho.


Next will be DoW. 


Then Vampire Counts vs. Cathay vs idk (I want more Tomb Kings but I would not say no to Skaven).

DoW in Warhammer 2 would've made sense, but it also makes sense for them to be the last race of the game, adding with it the minor factions that are missing (Araby, Amazons, Albion, Hobglobin Khanates, Halflings...). I hope this is the route they take.

I think a CoC style Bloodline DLC is a good idea only, if CA make a combined mechanic for the lords. Bloodlines as a mechanic is shared either way currently, as is Raise Dead ofc. The only differences are apparent playstyles between LLs. So, it's not even a bad idea.


So yeah. Interesting time ahead it seems. As many opinions/wants as people to make them it seems xD
