Choosing a race to play in TW:W3 is a big deal. You can pick what you think will be the most powerful faction in battle, you can pick based on diplomatic relations, or you can pick based on the story and philosophy of the race. In this regard, I am heavily drawn to Tzeentch. While the Blades of Khorne look absolutely fantastic with their flaming swords in this game, I consider Tzeentch and the way he thrives in a constant state of flux symbolic of post modernism. Yes, that’s right. I’m picking Tzeentch because he reminds me of all the great books I read for my sociology degree.
If you’re new to the Total War games, it’s worth mentioning that diplomacy, improving settlements, infrastructure and recruiting units are all integral parts of the gameplay. In this sense, TW:W3 offers a Warhammer world that’s lived in, not just a battleground.
As I previously mentioned, TW:W3 isn’t the only Warhammer game title released in February. Get your shoulder pads on for the new Blood Bowl 3, a brutal death sport game which combines fantasy American football with the latest Warhammer board game rules. There will be 12 races available to play, and I assure you Blood Bowl 3 will be as silly and fun as it sounds!
