About Total War: Warhammer

Total War: Warhammer is the ambitious fusion of Creative Assembly's Total War strategy formula with Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy Battles universe, released in 2016. It retains the series' signature split: a turn-based campaign map where you manage provinces, armies, and diplomacy, and real-time battles where thousands of units clash on the battlefield. What sets it apart is the Warhammer setting's sheer variety: races like the Empire, Vampire Counts, Dwarfs, and Greenskins each play completely differently, with magic, flying units, monsters, and legendary lords. The game was the first of a trilogy, and owning multiple games lets you play a combined mega-campaign across all their factions. It is beloved for making the fantasy world feel alive — dragons dive into infantry, spells reshape the battlefield, and legendary heroes carve through armies. It remains one of the best-reviewed strategy games of its generation.
