Skaven - An underground empire of man-sized rats, the Skaven are a technically brilliant but unstably insane inventive race. Seeing the time is right for them to return to rule, they harness the power of dinosaurs and lasers (and sometimes lasers on dinosaurs) to wage their war to reclaim the world. Lizardmen - Following their great lord Mazdamundi, the Lizardmen are among the most ancient of creatures in the world. High Elves - A conceited race of elves that originally harnessed The Vortex, they inhabit the island of Ulthuan and try desperately to maintain control of The Vortex.ĭark Elves - Seeking to destroy their higher counterparts, these evil elves follow Malekith as he leads them to exterminate the High Elves and conquer all that stand in their way.

The vortex has recently become unstable, but now the factions are vying to control it, stabilize it, and use it to rule the rest of the world. The new campaign is themed around the vortex of magic in the skies above the circular island of Ulthuan. Substituting the four races of the original game for four new ones, High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, and Skaven. The second title in Creative Assembly's Total War: Warhammer trilogy, this title takes the battle from The Old World to The New World.
