Total War: Warhammer II is out and it’s a blast. Like all Total War games, it is also a complex beast, and it can be hard to get your head around at first. We have specific guides for playing each of its four races, but we also accrued many more miscellaneous tips that will help you seize the Vortex no matter your allegiance. Read on.
Ah, but why is it a blast? For our reasoning, check our Total War: Warhammer 2 review.
In campaignGit good(y huts)
Hire a new Lord, put them to sea, and hunt down every Skull Reef you can. Do this on your first turn. Skull Reefs each give 10,000 gold plus a magic item, which is obviously a hugeboost, especially early in the game. You can’t go wrong with looting encounters at sea generally, but Skull Reefs are worth braving almost any hazard for.
Protecting your characters
Lords and Heroes can now attain level 40, but we have noticed they tend to get killed (rather than wounded) a lot more often. First thing to note if you want to protect them is the new Immortality skill at the top of the character sheet, which will ensure that a bit of wounding is the worst that ever happens to them.They will then be available to recruit again after a few turns.
Stop marching
Related to the above, March stance is much more precarious now in that it no longer allows you to retreat when attacked. Use it recklessly and you risk finding yourself in unwinnable battles and losing that promising Lord. It is now for rushing around your heartlands to squash that last Chaos invader, not for advancing into enemy territory. *Wags finger.*
Garrisons are that hot new thing
Between ritual-spawned Chaos stacks and Intervention attacks, Total War: Warhammer II can conjure a lot of horrible threats out of nowhere. Unless you have sentries in the ocean (or the High Elves’ Maritime Empire tech), threats can also sneak up on you from across the pond.
In this context, garrisons are the new settlement configuration meta (which is definitely a thing). Provincial capitals also have more building slots, so you’ve plenty of space to bolster your defences. A fully upgraded garrison building in a tier-five settlement has enough troops to see off almost any single-stack army, and even in a tier-three settlement, your rivals can’t attack with real confidence until they’re fielding their elites. You will also note that the ritual currency building chains in appropriate settlements will add yet more forces to the garrison.
Your empire is far more vulnerable from many more angles in Total War: Warhammer II, so you should put garrison buildings in any settlement that is likely to be attacked (to the extent that you can predict such attacks) or that you simply don’t want to lose.
Winning
What with all the hype around the Vortex campaign, it is easy to forget that you can technically win Total War: Warhammer II the old-fashioned way. For the Domination victory, you need to eliminate all Legendary Lords not of your own race, and to control 50 provinces through either direct ownership, vassalisation, or military alliances.
Compared to the Vortex victory, this is hard. And in pursuing it, you will probably get most of the way to the Vortex victory anyway – you will capture a number of settlements rich in ritual currency while dominating everyone else, and even ordinary settlements each produce a tiny trickle of the stuff, so all of this conquest will probably put you ahead in the race for the Vortex whether you want to be or not. All you have to do is attempt the rituals. To win by Domination, you would have to actively choose not to win the Vortex victory, andstop everyone else from doing it first. Sr3 first person mod.
How rituals work
When you are attempting a Vortex ritual, you are guaranteed some unwelcome visits by the ruinous powers. In addition to whatever intervention armies your rivals may choose to send your way, rituals will spawn a mix of Chaos and, later, Skaven stacks in your territory, along with Marauder warbands out at sea.
The first ritual spawns just one Chaos Warriors stack, and it won’t even be full. The third is a big escalation, spawning three stacks of both Chaos and Skaven, along with two Marauder warbands, all full. The fourth spawns five full Chaos and Skaven stacks. The fifth and final ritual, which lasts 20 turns rather than ten, does this again, but twice – once when you start the ritual, and once again halfway through.
Self-defence
Preparing for these invaders is key to surviving them. We reloaded autosaves and played around with our army placements to see if we could anticipate their arrival, only to find that their turned up somewhere else, which is bloody annoying. Our current theory is that they avoid your armies as a first priority, and spawn near your ritual cities as a second, without a bias for any one of them (unlike Interventions, which generally spawn close to one unlucky settlement).
This can lead to some very weird spawns – as High Elves, one of our ritual cities was Tor Elasor, while the others were all on Ulthuan. This resulted in Chaos stacks appearing halfway between the two in Araby, miles away from anyof our settlements, which suited us fine. Trying to engineer a helpful spawn as the Lizardmen, however, we managed to get all five stacks to drop on the western half of Lustria when all of our ritual cities were across the mountains to the east, near our most vulnerable cities. All observations suggest that they only ever move toward a ritual city, but they have no qualms about razing vulnerable settlements on their way.
Given all of this, we have some tips for surviving late-game rituals. At the very least, you will want a high-tier garrison building and a fully stacked army in each of your ritual cities. Invading stacks rarely combine forces, so this should guarantee that they will besiege you rather than risk a direct attack. You can then break the siege yourself if you are strong enough, or send reinforcements.
In diplomacyYour Vortex rivals are not your friends
Both the Vortex and Domination victory conditions will require you to fight the other major powers at some point, so don’t get used to cordial relations.
If you are chasing the Vortex victory, you will accrue escalating diplomatic penalties with all rival races for each ritual successfully completed. While these are an obstacle to useful trade deals and the like, they aren’t insuperable until you complete the fourth ritual, after which you are locked into a non-negotiable state of war with all rival Legendary Lords. The Domination victory also requires you to eliminate them all.
To win, you have to fight the other Vortex chasers, so plan with that in mind.
Who does everyone hate?
Diplomacy in Total War can sometimes feel like swimming upstream. You finally have enough spare gold to send someone a gift, to try and land that lucrative trade agreement, but they are still not biting. After a while they forget about your present, but that great power modifier is souring relations just as it ever it did. It is tough being such a big deal.
A good question to ask is: who does everyone hate? Check the diplomacy overlays to isolate the faction with the most current wars. Then go join the pile-on. You will get an instant boost just from being at war with everybody’s grudge, and any substantial losses you inflict on them will earn you further credits. If you are trying to befriend one faction in particular, the same advice applies – just pick on their enemies specifically.
It is a fairly elementary trick, but you would be amazed how far it can go. In my Tyrion campaign, I was able to make three or four highly profitable new trade deals when it finally came time to take out Clan Pestilens – I even got to neutral standing with a Dark Elf faction. Had I noticed that everyone else hated the Skaven as much as I do, I would have attacked them much sooner.
Confederate with care
Whichever Legendary Lord you choose, you’ll begin with only a handful of settlements, and the rest of your civilisation will be fragmented into many smaller factions. Obviously you will have to expand in order to win, and you have only two options to do so: conquest and confederation. The latter option is bloodless and efficient, but only other factions of your race are eligible. Before they will accede, you will need to be quite a bit more powerful than them in military terms, and to share close relations – a defensive alliance is generally a minimal requirement.
Your trustworthiness rating is also crucial, so terminate non-aggression pacts well in advance of declarations of war, if at all possible. This is a good tip for successful diplomacy more generally, and High Elf fans – who can make a truckload of money from trade agreements if determined – should take particular note.
There are hazards in confederation; mainly, that it incurs a lengthy diplomatic penalty with all other factions of your race. It may be tempting to absorb tiny Nagarythe just because they are willing right now, but if Teclis’s Order of Loremasters needs a little more encouragement, it is probably better to butter him up a while longer for a bigger reward, than to put him off for ages with this confederation penalty.
I found a Marauder Lord named Kylass Deathmetal
Less a tip, this, but everyone deserves to know that it’s possible.
Happy conquering! If you have any tips of your own, share them in the comments.

The Dwarfs are the best defensive army in Total War: Warhammer. Even their starting units, Dwarf Warriors, are sturdy enough to withstand a charge, and their ranged weapons are accurate and effective. This means you’ll have an advantage from the start of a campaign when compared to other factions.
Unfortunately, they’re also slow, pricey and weak against elite cavalry. Luckily, you’ll be fighting orcs and vampires early on, so this isn’t a huge problem. Stay friendly with humans and other Dwarfs, fill your coffers, and when the forces of Chaos finally arrive you’ll be in a solid position to repel them. This is also a helpful metaphor for Dwarf tactics. Sit back, watch enemies break against your lines of elite infantry and tear them to bits with terrifying artillery. Khazukan Khazakit ha!
Anvil and erm..other anvil
Compared to traditional Total War armies, your options are initially limited. You want enemies to come to you, thinning them out with ranged fire before engaging them with your sturdiest units. Dwarf Warriors are fine for this, but upgrade to Longbeards as soon as you can. Your standard tactic is hammer and anvil: you trap an enemy in a defensive arm wrestle—that’s the anvil bit—then hit them in the flanks with your best offensive option. Without cavalry, your ‘hammer’ is more likely to be another, slowly-moving anvil, but it still works. Slayers are great for this because they’re (relatively) fast, but any unit with a two-handed weapon will do.
Ranged units are another option, but make sure you deal with enemy cavalry before you expose their flanks. Quarrellers are surprisingly powerful, but upgrade to Thunderers for better armour piercing damage. In short, your early tactics are very Dwarfy. Simple things, done well, built on stubborn, grumbling foundations.
Drakes Too Good
One of the best things about Dwarfs is the range of elite units they can field. Standard Irondrakes use flaming drakeguns that destroy most lightly-armoured infantry units, and the specialist Trollhammer Torpedo version is perfect way to smash monstrous creatures before they reach you. Ironbreakers are ridiculously tough defensive infantry, and they come with blasting charges—useful ranged explosives that can be thrown before a charge. If you’re going for the hammer and anvil technique, use—you guessed it—Hammerers. They have two-handed weapons, and last longer than lightly armoured Slayers who are better used elsewhere.
Everpeak Aircorps
Gyrocopters are tricky. They require serious micromanagement, and can often feel like an expensive risk. When used with caution, however, they can add some much-needed pace to a largely static army. Make sure to keep them away from ranged attacked and powerful flying units—easier said than done—and use them to nullify enemy artillery. Another great use is to fly along the line of enemy units while they’re locked in combat, dropping explosives on their exposed flanks. This is only possible with the gyrobomber version, which comes with 10 bombs instead of three.
Hill behaviour
Dwarfs are dangerously obsessed with mountains, but hills are your friends, too. You want the opponent to come to you, ideally through a storm of deadly ranged fire, so find a high spot and wait. If this means moving backwards from the deployment line, do it. Survey the map, find spots where the enemy has to fight uphill and control them. If possible, put ranged units on a hill behind your wall of infantry - they’ll be able to shoot over the heads of your stunty brothers, safely doing unanswered damage. Once enemies are locked in place, you can also manoeuvre ranged units to an their flank and pepper them with armour-piercing missiles. This will lower morale even more, and cause many units to break. This tactic can be used effectively with a standard Dwarf garrison, leaving your actual army free to range far and take new settlements.
There’s no Dwarfen word for sprint
One major problem with Dwarfs is you have no way to charge down fleeing enemies. Traditional Total War armies usually have light cavalry for this, but you’ll have to accept that some units will regroup and return to the fight. Even cowardly goblins can find their courage. You can counter this by keeping fire on fleeing units until they’re shattered, or trying to rout them before fleeing enemies return. Once all the units in the enemy army are broken, there’s no chance they’ll regroup. You can also chase them down with your gyrocopters, assuming you’ve managed to keep them alive, or keep the pressure on using artillery.
Settle down
When playing the campaign, pay close attention to what structures you build. If you want to recruit Slayers, for instance, you’ll need a shrine and an armoury in the same province. There’s little point building structures unless you’re getting maximum benefit out of them, especially because you have a limited number of building slots. Use the building browser to survey what’s in each area, and watch out for warnings about duplicate buildings. Having two barracks in one province, for instances, is pointless: use that extra slot to make money, control public order or unlock elite units instead.
Money matters
A Dwarf army doesn’t march on its stomach: it marches on stacks of shiny gold. Money is everything. It’s crucial that you remain solvent, so pay attention to costs, consider upkeep and fight within your means. Dwarfs are expensive to recruit and have high running costs, so careful management is essential. If a unit has served its purpose and hasn’t accrued much experience, disband it. Also, wherever possible, build structures that make money. If a settlement is safely nestled in the centre of your kingdom, knock down gatehouses and walls and build toolmakers and markets instead. Get it right, and you can easily draw in 20-30k each turn in the late campaign. Add it to your mighty treasure horde, and don’t share it with the Umgi.
Be defensive
Consider building gatehouses and walls on settlements at the edge of your realm. The more advanced the structure, the better the garrison. If you actually build a wall around your settlement, it’s going to take a seriously powerful army to get through, even against a standard dwarf garrison. In my Long Campaign, Archaon, Everchosen of Chaos took massive damage trying to take a walled Dwarf settlement. The city fell, but at massive cost to his army. Two turns later, he retreated into Sylvania and was never seen again.
Be diplomatic
Stay on good terms with humans and other dwarfs. You can add dwarf factions to your confederation, immediately increasing your reach and income, but consider what’s best for you first. Will it drag you into a war with the vampires? Do you need the money? Plan it carefully. Remember that in order to complete the campaign, you only need to be in an alliance with a faction holding one of the key areas—you don’t need to hold it yourself. Most importantly, stay friendly with the humans. They have decent ranged weapons with armour piercing properties, so a ranged tug-of-war is less in your favour. When the Chaos forces arrive, use that threat to build bridges and resolve existing conflicts.
Your place or mine?
You’re playing Dwarfs. You belong underground. Capture settlements with mines, such as Mount Gundabad, and build mines as soon as you can. They bring in stacks of cash, and can help you maintain large armies with expensive troops. Going north early in the game can help fund an expedition to the south of the map, but it’s not essential. Dwarfs have the best tech tree in the game, as well as some trade-specific commandments you can issue, so use these to buff your income from mines.

Going Underground
Towards the end of the Long Campaign you’ll have to move your units across the map to reclaim lost dwarf holds in the north. This means marching through areas with high Vampiric and Chaos corruption, which will deplete your units through attrition. Have your armies use the Underway stance to avoid damage caused by corruption, but make sure your forces are study enough to win if intercepted: if you lose in the Underway, your army will be wiped out. The Underway is also crucial from a defensive standpoint. You can go under mountains to quickly relieve besieged cities, and use it to easily intercept Orc armies. Dwarfs struggle to catch orc forces because of their paltry movement allowance, so plan ahead and let them come to you instead. It’s the Dwarfen way.

Update January 19, 2017: Grombrindal is now free for all Total War: Warhammer players to download.
As promised when he was first announced last October, Grombrindal the White Dwarf’s exclusivity period with Games Workshop stores has ended and he is now free for all owners of Total War: Warhammer to download and add to their games.

Grombrindal istheWhite Dwarf, the angry little fellow after whom Games Workshop’s official magazine is named, and he’s a Legendary Lord for the Dwarfs in Total War: Warhammer. Like all Legendary Lords, his skill tree is unique, but his abilities give Dwarfen generals a totally new way to play on the campaign map.

See our original story below for more, or head to Steam to download the free update. Another free update for Total War: Warhammer – the Kingdom of Bretonnia – is due next month.
Original story October 24, 2016:Creative Assembly’s Total War: Warhammer continues to expand, adding a new Legendary Lord – with attendant unique skills, abilities and quests – to the Dwarfen race. That Lord is Grombrindal, the legendary White Dwarf, a mascot of sorts for Warhammer’s creators, Games Workshop.
Grombrindal’s arrival is heralded with a new trailer, in which lead writer and narrative designer Andy Hall walks you through his background as the camera takes a lustful look at his character model. Grombrindal joins Thorgrim Grudgebearer and Ungrim Ironfist as the third of the Dwarfs’ Legendary Lords.
Unlike most Dwarfs, who have a strong bond to their clans and their homes under the mountains, Grombrindal is a wanderer and a loner. He appears before battle to lend his axe – which usually proves decisive – before disappearing as quickly as he came. In Total War: Warhammer, he will have four quest-chains to acquire each piece of magical equipment he wields, and such unique abilities as ‘Flash Bomb’, which blinds and slows enemies; the greatest campaign reinforcement range of any Lord; and even the ability to assume the aspect of one of the Dwarfen Ancestor Gods.
You’ll need a Steam key to unlock Grombrindal for use in Total War: Warhammer. According to Grombrindal’s Steam page, you can acquire such a key in the following ways:
Grombrindal will be available to add to your game as soon as you can get hold of one of these codes. His arrival comes just days after The King and the Warlord, a larger content pack that added new units and Lord types to the Dwarfs and the Greenskins.
In our guide we give you useful tips on how you should play the Dwarfs and what are their strengths and weaknesses. Dwarfs are characterized by good defensive and rely mainly on infantry and firepower. You don’t own cavalry, but have a really excellent infantry shooter and also powerful artillery.
Among the commanders of the dwarfs are only melee, all of which have quite similar capabilities. Therefore, it is not so important, whom you choose here. Among the heroes also find melee and supporters. The Runesmith here is the only one with whom you can also perform magical attacks, which he should act more supportive.
Commanders of the Dwarfs
Thorgrim Grudgebearer: Mighty gray bearded melee.
Ungrim Ironfist: Also a strong melee fighter with a red beard
Strengths of the Dwarfs
- Gnomes are particularly suitable for the long-range combat with crossbow and muskets.
- The units of the combat infantry across the board strong and well armored.
- Take a Slayer with you in the fight against monsters, this is particularly effective, and the disadvantage is that dwarfs have no spears.
- The front of the dwarfs should always consist of a few melee regiments, in whose back you collect the full force of your ranged DPS.
- The artillery is extremely flammable and strong and can be additionally improved by heroes. Flame-throwers and cannons organ are also effective in the short to medium distances.
Total War Warhammer Dwarf Multiplayer Guide
- Gyrocopter is most effective against the Empire. In the fight against ground targets they come into their own, as other air units are usually inferior.
- Gnomes are well armored and kill effectively only with anti-tank weapons.
Weaknesses of the Dwarfs
- Gnomes move very slowly across the battlefield because of their short legs.
- Against rapid advances of enemy cavalry they see no land.
- The fast spider and Wolf Rider Greenskin provide the dwarfs with major problems. This should be a priority for the rangers.
- Except for the Runesmith the Dwarfs don’t magically gifted units.
- With air units you can attack the slow dwarfs and the gyrocopter are here not a big obstacle.
The Dwarfs have a wide variety of infantry. Your army is often limited only to such. In their ranks there is no cavalry, but they have the best artillery in the world of Total War - Warhammer. The armament of the infantry is very different. From axes and hammers to guns and crossbows to flamethrowers everything is represented. The Dwarfs are stubborn. Your will is hard to break, and so they have enormous leadership and are difficult to expel from the battlefield. Unfortunately, however, they are very slow. The lack of cavalry and the short legs make them sluggish and prone to flankings.
The Most Powerful Units of the Dwarfs
- Gyrocopter: As master engineer, the Dwarfs have gyrocopter which surprisingly effective against infantry - because they have a very high rate of fire.
- Slayer: Axe and Hammer Units is particularly specialized in large opponents. When a Slayer is killed, he always brings out a final strike.
- Fire Cannon: The most powerful artillery weapon in Total War – Warhammer, burns rows opponents. However, their coverage is very low.
- Iron Dragon: An infantry unit with flamethrowers, which is very effective against lightly armored infantry. The iron dragons are indeed placed small in number, but their damage is enormous.
The Building of the Dwarfs
The cities of the Dwarfs are surrounded by the mountains / stones with endless mineshafts, they have a lot of natural resources.
Main Building
- Karaz-a-Karak: Through this main building they generates their income.
Military Recruitment:
- Siege Weapons Factory: Allows training of infantry and artillery projectile.
- Combat Training Room: Allows training your melee Infantry.
- Global Hall: Advanced your army with advanced infantry.
Military Support:
- Armory / Weapon Store: Formation of two-handed weapons Infantry
- Technical workshop: Training of cannons, catapults and technical instruments of war.
- Slayer Shrine: Remembered the available Slayers.
Technical Workshop
Infrastructure:
- Ground / field: Increases your growth.
- Trading Depot: important building to increase the trade income.
- Throne Room of the High King: Public order is greatly increased.
- The Dwarfs can move underground. This allows them to remain undetected or select shortcuts.
- They have the biggest tech tree in the game, which gives them in every respect improvements.
- The magic resistance protects them from hostile spells and they cannot be weakened.
As a people without magic and cavalry, the dwarfs would lose out. However, they have powerful artillery and are highly skilled in the diplomatic arena. Despite the low speed, they show strength and are worthy opponents.
