Original message: Thrones of Decay – fresh DLC in the spring (04/09/2024 – 7:36 p.m.)

SEGA and developer Creative Assembly have announced “Thrones of Decay”, the next DLC package for the current strategy game Total War: Warhammer III. This is scheduled to be published later in spring 2024, but does not yet have a specific release date.

When the time comes, new content for the Empire, Nurgle and the Dwarves awaits you. This includes legendary commanders as well as units for battles, campaign functions and also free content for all owners of the base game. The latter comes in the form of the version 5.0 update, which brings with it a yet-to-be-revealed Legendary Commander, a hero unit, a new campaign feature in the form of the Nemesis Crown, and campaign reworks for the Empire, Dwarves, and Nurgle.

According to official information, the actual DLC content looks like this:

Elspeth of Draken, the dragon-riding Magistrix (Empire)

The dark lady of Nuln, Elspeth of Draken, is one of the most powerful amethyst sorceresses of time. It is said that she is so imbued with magical power that she stands on the threshold between life and death.

Campaign features:

• Imperial Artillery School: As the Imperial Armory, Whisenland and Nuln offer special unit upgrades and powerful abilities in exchange for blueprints earned through the damage these units deal on the battlefield.
• Gardens of Morr: As a vigilant protector of the Empire, Elspeth establishes these sacred sites in limited numbers in apparently allied or neutral settlements of the Empire, allowing instant travel to these locations – albeit for a fee and with a cool-down period.

Fighting style:

• Riding her mighty crimson dragon, Elspeth is deadly in every way. She manipulates the battlefield from afar with her innate Lore of Death magical abilities before storming the enemy ranks with her dragon and two-handed pale scythe.

New units:

• The Empire's ranks are bolstered by a variety of units, including the Marienburg Landship, the Steam Tank Salvo Cannon, the Ironborn of Nuln, the Highland Long Rifles, the Knights of the Black Rose, the Master Technicus (Commander), Technicus (Hero), and the indomitable Theodore Bruckner (Legendary Hero).

Tamurkhan, the Lord of Maggots (Nurgle)

A sentient maggot within the putrid, bloated corpse of a powerful ogre tyrant, Tamurkhan is one of Nurgle's greatest champions. He has only one goal: to spread death and disease in the name of the Lord of Pestilence.

Campaign features:

• Tamurkhan's Chieftains: Tamurkhan must assemble an unstoppable army that will bring ruin to the world. So he embarks on a deadly journey to subdue and recruit powerful warlords from Chaos and the Norscan tribes to increase his faction's power.

Fighting style:

• Tamurkhan is a tank warrior who is deadly in battle. He invades the battlefield on his mighty toad dragon, wielding a massive two-headed axe. His ability, Maggot Lord's Feast, triggers on death and drains life from the enemy to keep them in the fight a little longer in the heat of battle.

New units:

• Nurgle's bloated ranks are brimming with strength with additional units such as Kayzk the Tainted (Legendary Hero), Warlord of Nurgle's Chaos (Commander), Sorcerer of Nurgle's Chaos (Hero), Plague Ogre, Knight of Rot, Toad Dragon, Pestigor, and Gall trolls.

Malakai Makaisson, the Slayer Machinist (Dwarves)

A defiant mix of brains and brawn, Malakai Makaisson was once a member of the legendary Machinists' Guild before a misfortune led to his expulsion. Eternally ashamed, he took the Slayer's oath with the sole goal of finding redemption through a dignified and bloody death.

Campaign features:

• Geist Grungnis: The armies of Malakai Makaisson march beneath the flying machine known as the Geist Grungnis, a legendary airship that the Slayer Machinist can upgrade along the way to increase his combat abilities and summon it himself in battle.
• Malakai's Adventure: In search of the glorious end all Slayers long for, Malakai Makaisson uses his deadly exploits to test and hone his latest technological innovations in the most dangerous battles he can instigate.

Fighting style:

• Malakai serves primarily as a ranged combat commander for the dwarves, throwing ash fragment bombs at enemies, riddling them with his shotgun, and, if one gets too close, hitting them in the face with a giant wrench.

New units:

• High engineering art meets bearded courage. The dwarven ranks are bolstered by Garagrim Ironfist (Legendary Hero), Demon Slayer (Commander), Dragon Slayer (Hero), Deathseeker, Goblin Reaper, Thunder Barge, Wrathraker Musketeers, and Slayer Pirates.
