Just noticed, that one of the legendary wiki sites, Hammerwiki (Warhammer Online) will merge with another great wiki Warhammer Wiki. Here's their announcement:

Dear Hammerwiki contributor and viewers, it is with great pleasure that I like to announce that our staff from our sister site of Warhammer Wiki has agreed to aid this fellow Warhammer site by helping to merge our content with theirs. In the process, we'd hope that by combining our two communities, we can better help aid and improve our knowledge of the Warhammer universe for all to see and read. Rest assured that the majority of the content written and made in this wiki will be transfered to our sister site Warhammer wiki, and will be kept intact or improved upon by our dedicated team of contributors. If there is anything you'd wish to talk about concerning this merge, please message me at my message wall. Thank you and have a nice day!

I decided post again the list of various Warhammer lore sites (with updates). These are all wiki-sites and feature various knowledge about Warhammer world, games and novels.

Total War: WARHAMMER II - Coming 2017

Total War: WARHAMMER trilogy is coming to second game. This time it's time to take the war to shores beyond Old World - High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen and a mysterious fourth race, yet to be revealed...

Total War: WARHAMMER 2 - Announcement Cinematic Trailer

From official description:

The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II brings players a breathtaking new narrative campaign, set across the vast continents of Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth and the Southlands. The Great Vortex Campaign builds pace to culminate in a definitive and climactic endgame, an experience unlike any other Total War title to date.

Playing as one of 8 Legendary Lords across 4 iconic races from the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, players must succeed in performing a series of powerful arcane rituals in order to stabilise or disrupt The Great Vortex, while foiling the progress of the other races. Each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position, and each race offers a distinctive new playstyle with unique campaign mechanics, narrative, methods of war, armies, monsters, Lores of Magic, legendary characters, and staggering new battlefield bombardment abilities.

Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total War™ WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign. Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles.

Total War: WARHAMMER - Isabella von Carstein DLC

In life, the daughter of Sylvania’s mad count Otto Von Drak was much like any other of her noble counterparts: vain, immoral and selfish.

Upon her father’s death, the first and greatest of the Vampire counts, Vlad Von Carstein, seized the reigns of the province, and was duly married to Isabella. She was soon drawn to Vlad’s intense charisma, and he in turn came to rely upon her unquestioning support and devotion absolutely; what began as a marriage of convenience transformed into a partnership of legend. As she lay dying from a wasting disease, Vlad granted her the Blood Kiss, and she joined him in eternal undeath.

Now, Isabella is a powerful Vampire in her own right, and may be seen stalking the front lines bearing the Blood Chalice of Bathori. When she joins Vlad on the same battlefield, their combat prowess is multiplied, each standing shoulder to shoulder with their beloved in death!


New Legendary Lord joins the forces of Vampire Counts: Isabella Von Carstein. Actually - Isabella off course joins Von Carstein faction with her beloved Vlad Von Carstein. She is free to download from Steam.

Total War: WARHAMMER - The King and The Warlord DLC announcement!

"The time is nigh for Clan Angrund to reclaim Karak Eight Peaks from the Grobi despoilers! Belegar Ironhammer, clan leader and direct descendant of King Lunn, the last Dwarf to rule the ancestral hold, has inherited a bitter legacy of hatred and resentment. Even now he marshals his throng, making ready to strike out from Karak Izor. With the spirits of his fabled ancestors returned to fight by his side, Belegar will see his oaths fulfilled, and pass into legend himself.

Meanwhile Skarsnik, the self-proclaimed Night-Goblin warlord of Karak Eight Peaks, has taken leave of the hold. On a squig-hunting excursion in the Grey Mountains east of Brettonia, he operates from his base at Karak Azgaraz when word reaches him of Belegar’s intent. Worse still, the tricksy Goblins minding Karak Eight Peaks have taken the hold in defiance of Skarsnik’s iron will. Intolerable, sneaky, mutinous gits!

Two legends, then: both hell-bent on claiming the ancient Dwarf-Hold for themselves. Their destinies entwined, The King and the Warlord must face one another in a final, desperate battle to determine the true ruler of Karak Eight Peaks." -text taken from the official site

Total War: WARHAMMER - The Grim and the Grave DLC

"Ever-devious and ever-ruthless, the Unliving Aristocracy summons forth horrifying new threats to unman the forces of The Empire. Smelling blood on the tainted air, the Strigoi Ghoul Kings stir from their stale catacombs, while Mannfred’s darkest student, Helman Ghorst, pauses in his damnable studies and readies the Corpse-Carts for battle.

But the proud men of The Empire do not stand idly by in the face of such unholy threats. Even now the call goes out, and all eyes turn to Volkmar The Grim, Grand Theogonist of The Cult of Sigmar. Pious and forbidding, Karl Franz’ staunchest ally calls forth his Arch Lectors and rides into battle on the War Altar of Sigmar, a sight to strike terror even into the unbeating hearts of The Undead.

Man versus vampire: legend versus legend.

The Grim and The Grave."
