Total War: WARHAMMER III - AMA with Rich Aldridge and Sean Macdonald
Join us on Discord this Friday 31st March at 2PM for an exclusive AMA with Total War: WARHAMMER III Game Director Rich Aldridge and Lead Designer Sean Macdonald, where they'll be answering your burning questions about Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs! π₯
Meet our second Legendary Lord, Drazhoath the Ashen!
Introducing Drazhoath the Ashen!
Greetings loyal followers of Hashut!
We hope you enjoyed last weekβs deep dive into the first Legendary Lord, Astragoth Ironhand, from our upcoming Forge of Chaos Dwarfs DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER III. This week we turn to our next cunning combatant: Drazhoath the Ashen!
Drazhoath the Ashen, the Sorcerer Prophet of Hashut, is the Lord of the Black Fortress and the commander of the fell Legion of Azgorh. His mastery of magic and engineering grew stronger throughout his time in exile at the hands of Astragoth Ironhand, and now he seeks a return to the fold of Zharr-Naggrund.
Being equally as proficient with his axe as with sorcery, Drazhoath is a formidable presence on the battlefield, be he on foot or atop his trusty Bale Taurus, Cinderbreath.
Heβs equally as daunting outside of battle, too, being an industrial juggernaut and the best in class when it comes to generating armaments and developing settlements.
Now you've met Drazhoath it's time to see the Legion of Azgorh in action in our second Gameplay Showcase!
Also starring a disturbingly cheerful Hobgoblin, a fired-up Bale Taurus, and the gargantuan K'daai Destroyer. π₯βοΈ
Next week, weβll be showcasing the final Legendary Lord arriving with Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs β Zhatan the Black. To call him a nasty is underselling it! Keep a close eye on the official Total War channels for further details.
See you on the battlefield!

They are joined by the one and only Legendary Hobgoblin Hero himself, Gorduz Backstabber. This maniacal group intend to construct the Great Drill of Hashut, with which they will burrow through the very fabric of reality itself to conquer both the known world and perhaps also far more.

Greetings! Total War: WARHAMMER III's first update of 2023 brings the usual bug fixes and visual improvements, but most crucially of all it delivers a huge change - the Great Bastion into Immortal Empires has been breached!
Tomorrow (February 17th) marks a full year since Total War: WARHAMMER III was released. But being the impatient wee scamps we are, we just couldn't wait and have decided to kick off the celebrations today!
But before we get stuck into Update 2.4.0, let's cast our minds back...
Following the arrival of WARHAMMER III, the much-anticipated Immortal Empires launched on August 23rd and brought every race and Legendary Lord from the Total War: WARHAMMER series into one enormous campaign map to create the largest and most definitive Total War experience ever.
Immortal Empires launched in Beta, and over the last six months weβve pushed updates both big and small to continually develop the campaign. As of today, the Beta tag has gone, and the firm foundations put in place since release will pave the way for even greater things β although that doesnβt mean that work has stopped on bug fixing or improving the areas of the game that still need work.
This is still just the beginning of Immortal Empires - there's so much more to come!
Until today, players had to own WARHAMMER I, WARHAMMER II and WARHAMMER III to brave the challenge of Immortal Empires. Now, everyone who owns WARHAMMER III can dive right into the core Immortal Empires experience, regardless of the other titles. Plus, DLC can now be purchased separately for those that want to try out a new faction β perhaps one that bested you on the battlefield?
Opening up this epic campaign to all WARHAMMER III owners is something we are pleased to offer, and the gameβs one year anniversary felt like the perfect time to do this for all to enjoy. Itβs a really exciting time and the perfect start to what is going to be a very exciting year.
In the here and now, if you cast your eyes above you can catch our brand new Immortal Empires showcase! Incidentally, it might be worth your time sticking around until the end of the video for a sneak peak at... something. The impending arrival of a fiery Chaos on the world of WARHAMMER III may not be a huge shock, but fear not - it'll be here before you know it. Besides, the time for fear comes later...
Here are some of the highlights from Update 2.4:
Immortal Empires is now available to all WARHAMMER III owners!
Karak Eight Peaks is now a ten-slot settlement for the Skaven... yes-yes...
Malus's quest battle for the Warpstone of Khaine is now in the Chaos Wastes, closer to his starting position.
Fixed a variety of visual/graphical glitches such as clipping capes, snapping models and broken animations.
Garrisons are no longer reinforcements and now enter the battle from the start.
Fixed a multiplayer desync that could occur when an Empire player chose to Summon the Elector Counts.
Coedill will no longer immediately enter the battle instead of reinforcing once the Waystones are destroyed in Drycha's quest battle.
Interrogating Grom the Paunch in Athel Tamarha as Eltharion now correctly gives Mistwalker units the ability to mirror Grom's Big Waaagh ability.
Fixed an issue where Boris Ursus wouldn't gain supporters while the Invocation of Dazh is active.
