“This could only happen, due to the real strength of relationship we’ve had with Games Workshop from the beginning.”įor more on Total War: Warhammer 3, see our hands-on preview with an early version of the game.It is the year 363 AD. What does Roxburgh think about his video game feeding back into the creation of new armies for that future tabletop game? But Games Workshop has announced that it will return to the Old World sometime soon.

But it’s also really exciting to know that the Warhammer fans out there are all waiting to see this brand-new stuff from Games Workshop, but through the Total War game.” A Kislev riding a polar bear fights in Khorne’s domain. “For us as developers,” Roxburgh said, “it’s brilliant to work with and see how their processes work and to be able to feed into that.
In the lead-up to Total War: Warhammer 3, he said that full army lists and additional lore were created as background for the video game. But, Roxburgh said, they were never given the same treatment as other factions in the tabletop game. Kislev and Cathay have both been mentioned in the larger Warhammer lore of late, including novels and even other video games. Early trailers show off the Cathay as well, all of them equipped with Arabian-inspired weapons and armor. They’re supplemented by swift and heavy cavalry sporting wings like Polish hussars. They include hybrid infantry units that use primitive firearms for ranged attacks, and heavy axes for close combat. The Kislev army was the first to be shown off during an early press demo in May, a hardy collection of vaguely Eastern European forces led by Tzarina Katarin Bokha. “It’s all just been going from strength to strength” There’s been no problems at all, and it’s all just been going from strength to strength.” “There’s no way that Workshop would be willing to do what they did with Kislev and Cathay if we hadn’t had that really close relationship,” Roxburgh said. The result, Roxburgh said, is two sourcebooks’ worth of material that could one day be used to field new miniature armies on the tabletop. “They were inventing and creating that stuff as we were developing the game, and we had an opportunity to communicate and to work with them.” “While they were doing that, they were working closely with us so we could give some feedback,” Roxburgh told Polygon. Creative Assembly game director Ian Roxburgh said it was a collaborative process. So, Games Workshop designed them from the ground up as though they were being fully revised and added to the tabletop game. Some concept art - like these early drawings of the Ice Guard - have already been shared on the Warhammer Community website.
