'''Total War: Warhammer''' is an upcoming turn-based strategy real-time tactics video game in development by the Creative Assembly and published by [[Sega]]. The game features the gameplay of the ''[[Total War]]'' series with factions of [[Games Workshop]]'s ''[[Warhammer]]'' series. It's the 10th title in the ''[[Total War]]'' series and will be the first title to be released in the ''Total War: Warhammer'' trilogy. The title is set to be released on 24 May 2016.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass Normal]]: The Imperial forces, by and large, are just regular humans with Renaissance-era weapons facing up against insurmountable odds.
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: While the Empire isn't near as [[Darker and Edgier|grimdark]] as [[Warhammer 40,000|the Imperium of Man]], even at its murkiest it's far preferable to the realms of Chaos.
* [[Clock Punk]]/[[Steampunk]]: The more advanced technological units that the Dwarves and Empire can deploy come across as this.
* [[Death World]]: Territories under the Vampire Counts turn into veritable graves where the undead walk with impunity. While lands taken over by Chaos morph into literal pieces of Hell.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Quite a few, befitting both a ''[[Total War]]'' title and its ''[[Warhammer]]'' setting:
** The Empire is basically the [[Holy Roman Empire]] around the time of the Renaissance and suitably German.
Line 17 ⟶ 20:
* [[Hero Unit]]: The "legendary lords" for each faction in particular even serve as leaders of their particular sub-faction, such as Karl Franz for the Empire.
* [[Just Before the End]]: The game takes place in the period just before the "End Times" of the ''[[Warhammer]]'' universe.
* [[Meat Shield]]: Most of Bretonnia's peasant units ultimately amount to this, their purpose being to either soak up enemy attacks or hold the line until the knights and elite troops arrive.
