FINALLY new DLC for Warhammer II: Total War, The Curse of the Vampire Coasts!!!

[Samtemdo8_v1legacy]

In case you are haven't seen it and are curious, here is everything known about this DLC so far and what comes with it:

I have a friend who's feeding me this information day by day at this point and it all looks like it might come out as the best DLC for the Warhammer games yet, which is saying something considering that Tomb Kings, Norsca and Wood Elves were all stellar. I am personally quite stocked to play Aranessa, but Noctilus and his Davy Jones deal is also pretty intriguing.

I still feel a reboot/relaunch is on the horizon.

They could just say that Age of Sigmar is a what-if scenario and still sell it.

It isn't, sadly. The reason they nuked Warhammer Fantasy Battles is because they were having trademarking issues. Since Elves, Dwarves, Orcs etc. are considered fantasy staples Games Workshop could not trademark them and thus lost a ton of potential profits in exclusivity and trademark deals. The same thing happened to some extent with 40, where the Imperial Guard and Space Marines had to change their names so they could be trademarked. The hassle with changing the name of pretty much everything in FB was probably more then changing a few names in 40k though, so instead they turned to AoS, where every single name can be (and is) trademarked.

They could always trademark their names into other things.

I mean the Elves and Dwarfs can be refered to thier in universe names like Asur, Asrai, and Druchii for the 3 Elves, and Dawi and Dawi Zharr for the Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs especially.

The only new character is Cyclostra. Aranessa Saltspite and Noctilus have both made prior appearances in official GW lore.

Shows how little I know about GW stuff these days.

To be honest, it's probably kind of a fluke that I remembered the Zombie Pirates used to have a list.. I liked the semi-official lists like Clan Eshin and the Zombie Pirates generally. They were weird and made me want to get more into Warhammer despite not having the money to do so.

Assuming you mean the one in the trailer, Luthor Harkon has been around for a while, and the Vampire Coast even had an army list in Warhammer Chronicles.

No no, I meant the Opera-singer-banshee character that they announced afterward.

Essentially CA's Original Charcater.

Kinda makes me wonder that, if she is Bretonnian, why she has a last name like that. "oh Direfin? of the Bordeleaux Direfins?" Like her family knew that at least one member was going to end up a pirate-ghost.
