Here's every new faction we know about so far:Įach of the Chaos Gods embodies particular aspects of evil. Even more amazingly, the mysterious eastern empire of Cathay is the sixth faction available at launch! Each of the four Chaos Gods gets a distinct army, while the Tzardom of Kislev, long a palette-swap of the Empire and little more than a punching bag, will now be a kingdom in its own right. While the prior two games each launched with four factions (not counting any DLC), this entry will include six. Total War: Warhammer 3 includes an unprecedented number of factions.
