This is also the first Total War game to feature flying units, such as dragons and gyrocopters, and especially large, powerful units like Giants and the enormous Arachnarok Spiders. Agents have been replaced by Heroes, who perform similar functions but can also serve as powerful combat units on the battlefield. Randomly generated, killable Lords much like earlier games' generals can be recruited as well. They are functionally immortal (merely being wounded for several turns instead of killed) and thus lead your forces through the entirety of the campaign. Legendary Lords are major characters from the Warhammer lore that serve as your faction leaders and primary generals. Primarily, each faction plays notably differently from the others, with entirely unique unit rosters and a number of faction-specific strengths and restrictions that go far beyond those in historical Total War.

The gameplay differs considerably from previous games in the series in a number of ways, largely to be more in keeping with the Warhammer universe. An age of mythical monsters, an age of magic, an age of heroism, savagery, and endless war. In the far twisted Chaos Wastes, dark creatures, and savage warriors marshal, mortal servants of the Chaos Gods, the Warriors of Chaos, in insurmountable numbers, who intend to blot out the light of civilization, and finally bring about the apocalypse in the name of their dark gods, headed by the powerful and enigmatic, Archaon, the Everchosen of Chaos, and bringer of the End Times! In the cold and cruel tundras of the far north, The Norscan Tribes have been starving for challenges and riches for too long and thus decides to venture south in their desire to please their gods, with Wulfrik The Wanderer taking the charge of this main assault against the civilized world. In the chivalrous nation of Bretonnia, brave knights, and hordes of men at arms prepare for the ultimate crusade, an Errantry War of untold proportions, to finally end the enemies of the Lady once and for all, led by brave King Louen Leoncoeur, Duke of Couronne, and Grail Knight of the Lady.

Their leader, the demigod Orion, King of the Forest, blows his horn, and signals the start of The Wild Hunt!

In the dreary glades of the ancient Elven kingdom of Athel Loren, the mystic Wood Elves, and ancient forest spirits awaken from their centuries of slumber to guard their forests from the invading mortal races, and Beastmen raiding parties that dare trespass on their sacred groves. Stalking the black undergrowth of the Drakwald Forest, horrible tribes of mutated humans, known as collectively as the Beastmen, raid and pillage across the Empire solely motivated by their pure hatred of the notion of civilization, striking at the most vulnerable, and disappearing back into the dark depths of the trees, led by the Beastmen Warlord, Khazrak the One-Eyed, who seeks vengeance against his most hated foe, the Elector Count of Middenland, Boris Todbringer. In the badlands, a particularly brutal Orc Warboss, Grimgor Ironhide, seeks to unite the squabbling Greenskin tribes, whether they be Goblins or Orcs, and form the biggest Waaaaagghhhhh!!! in known history, to crush any and all who oppose him, until only the strongest are left to fight on endlessly. No longer hiding in their mountain holds, the brave Dwarfen Kingdoms are under a resurgence underneath their mighty and noble High King, Thorgrim Grudgebearer, who intends to cross out every grudge in the Dammaz Kron, and restore the ancient Dwarf Empire to its once glorious self, no matter what it takes.
