But enough about 2020! ItвЂ™s 2021 now, and weвЂ™re getting a new Total War: Warhammer game, so nothing bad will ever happen again. Sort of like Santa, only with crumbs of rotting mince pie in his beard that infect anyone he gets too close to. Nurgle is a nice, portly old chap, with good tidings for all. Nurgle вЂ“ God of decay, plague, despair, disease, entropy, death, and rebirth

Predicted strength ranking: 5 out of 5 Khorne Flakes.

KhorneвЂ™s weakness will likely end up the danger of being shredded by missile fire before reaching combat, but with hellhounds and chariots aplenty, theyвЂ™ll have the options to shut down enemy skirmishers in brutal fashion. While they wonвЂ™t necessarily be tanky, the amount of bonuses they get for being in close combat could stack and add up to a real problem. Offensive magic will be limited or nonexistent, but weвЂ™ll likely see a ton of magic resistance on Khornate units. TheyвЂ™ll also be speedy, with the initial charge hitting like a bag of hammers soaked in liquid hammers. Khorne will likely be able to hang on to these bonuses longer than other factions, as well. The question is, what other tricks has a god who famously despises any sort of trickery whatsoever got up his sleevies, for his armies?ДЇirst off, itвЂ™s likely the entire Khornate roster will have the Frenzy special rule, which means attack and damage bonuses while their leadership remains above fifty percent. IвЂ™m wondering if this lack of flexibility вЂ“ and KhorneвЂ™s famous hatred of magic вЂ“ will end up hampering Khorne against the rosters of the other gods. Will this translate to being the most powerful faction in game, though? There are no prizes for guessing that Khorne will play as a melee-focused rush faction, and the only prize that Khorne gives out is an axe to the face. To the surprise of absolutely no-one who has ever looked at Helman GhorstвЂ™s skill tree, the most common occurrence in the Warhammer world is horrific, engraged murder, and so the most powerful of the four Chaos gods is sure to be the Lord of Murder himself, Khorne. Khorne вЂ“В God of bloodlust, war, rage, blood, honour in battle, and skulls So, based on their Warhammer 8th edition army books, general playstyles, and how Total War: Warhammer usually operates, here are my predictions for which Chaos faction will be the clear winner. The Chaos gods are fickle and warlike, bastard children of mankindвЂ™s dark desires and secret Onlyfans accounts. Ranking the Chaos factions in Total War: Warhammer 3 Similarly, Cathay are being designed from the ground up to casually slap about Bloodthirsters, Ogres, and Chaos Dwarfs before retiring for a light lunch. They are being specifically designed to batter chaos in all its myriad forms, and so it makes sense that theyвЂ™re going to be peerless at it. Geographically positioned as the Empire of ManвЂ™s bulwark against the encroaching Chaos tides, Kislev are as hard as a tupperware container of frozen bastards, and twice as frozen.

This inevitable power-hike wonвЂ™t affect Total War: Warhammer 3 as a standalone title, as the human release factions will almost certainly receive the same treatment. Do you hear it? ItвЂ™s unmistakable, isnвЂ™t it? ItвЂ™s the sound of Creative Assembly compensating for their five-year-long mockery of jilted Chaos fans, and apologetically releasing some of the most comically overpowered armies into the Total War: Warhammer world, sure to leave it quaking beneath the cloven hooves, razor talons, squirming tentacles, and pestilent stumps.ДЄs a wise dog once said as the world burned around him: this is fine. Press your expectant face against the treacherous gravel of these hype-cursed lands and listen. Place your ear to the ground, my companion.
