Tunnel Snakes rule!
The latest video in Creative Assembly’s “dev chat series” sees senior community manager Steve Coleman, game designer William Håkestad, senior game designer Vasil Nikolov, and principal technical designer Radoslav Borislov sit down to talk about the 6.2 update, the campaign AI improvements, and the next DLC.
It’s a smaller-than-usual peek at what’s next, with just a single legendary lord confirmed: Dechala the Denied One, who leads the Slaanesh faction called the Tormentors. A corrupted elf who has a gigantic tail that ends in a poisoned stinger, and also has six arms, each wielding a sword, Dechala’s a particular enemy of Khorne since one of the Blood God’s champions scarred her.
The Tormentors will also get a cavalry unit called the pleasureseekers, daemonettes riding steeds of Slaanesh that sound like a straight upgrade from the existing seekers, and champions of Slaanesh who share Dechala’s snake look, but with only four arms. The faction’s campaign mechanics will include the ability to subjugate your enemies using Dechala’s Elixir of Damnation.
The upcoming DLC will be a three-lord pack, and a bonus legendary lord will arrive as “free-LC” alongside it. Presumably the bonus lord will also be a servant of Slaanesh—maybe the Masque, a daemonette cursed to dance for eternity? The other two legendary lords will be for other armies, though it’s up in the air which ones they could be. Recent expansions have bolstered the Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs and Goblins, Empire, Dwarfs, Cathay, and Kislev alongside Chaos, but Total War: Warhammer has so many armies that still leaves it wide open.
We’ll have to wait until this DLC gets closer to find out more. Right now, it doesn’t even have a release window.
