The phrase “iconic” is so overused it makes me wince once I see it, however on this planet of Warhammer it may be pretty utilized to 2 characters: Gotrek and Felix, who sum up the duality of the setting. Gotrek, a dwarf trollslayer with a mohawk who longs for a heroic demise to erase a failure so shameful he by no means speaks of it, is Warhammer at its most heavy steel album cowl. Felix, a poet sworn to document Gotrek’s saga however terrified he’ll be the one to die first, is Warhammer at its most Blackadder.
The two may be recruited in Total War: Warhammer 3 (Gotrek voiced by the peerlessly forged Brian Blessed) when you win their quest battle, racing to the rescue to maintain them alive once they’re about to be overwhelmed by the daemonic hordes of Slaanesh. This is pretty achievable when you’re fielding a military with some heavy cavalry who can cost into the center of the battlefield in time to make a distinction, however when you’re enjoying poor stunty dwarfs—who thematically talking, are one of many armies almost definitely to recruit the duo—you are form of boned. Felix would in all probability break and flee, whereas Gotrek’s suicide want could be granted earlier than you had time to assist them.
Thank goodness for hotfix 6.0.4 then, which addresses this and lots of different points. Near the underside of a listing of minor tweaks and fixes is a be aware that made my day: “Improved Gotrek and Felix’s preliminary survivability in ‘The Adventures of Gotrek and Felix’ quest battle (to Gotrek’s dismay).”
Ogre gamers can even be happy by a change that impacts the DLC lord Golgfag Maneater particularly. The mercenary ogre had a playstyle constructed round sacking settlements relatively than occupying them, then utilizing that loot to rent mercs from ogre camps. Golgfag additionally has buffs that have an effect on the distinctive models known as regiments of renown, however since you may solely recruit these in your personal territory—and sacked settlements nonetheless belong to your enemies—it was a problem to really accomplish that. Now, the realm round ogre camps rely as your territory for the aim of recruiting regiments of renown, making them simpler so as to add to your horde.
