How many factions do I get without DLC?

[The Divine Shadow]

I am guessing 4?

[Red Dragon]

yes

[Nano]

Yeah, but each faction has different sub-factions you can play.

[The Divine Shadow]

Which 4?

[Voxrox]

four races. 3 Lords for High Elves and Skaven to start with, 2 Lords for each Dark Elves and Lizards as of now (later surely some more free Lords for those two as well)

[TVMAN]

Dark Elves, High Elves, Skaven, and Lizardmen come with the base game. Skaven and HE both have three playable lords, which are basically different starting positions, and DE and Lizardmen both have two, for a total of 10 playable factions currently. This is entirely without DLC. Like Voxrox mentioned, Lizardmen and DE are both going to get a free lord later.

[Revolter]

The thing about warhammer races is they are completly different to each other

they all have different styles of play (well maybe both the dark/high elf are a bit the same style of play)
but no one can say they used the same unit models



in warhammer they might only have 4 races but they have more differences in these 4 than all the factions in thrones of britania

[Haribo Predator]

You get all the warhammer 2 factions.

High elves 2 lords

Dark elves 2 lords

Skaven 3 lords. Ones a free dlc.

Lizard men 2 lords.

The tomb kings are paid dlc and give you 4/5 lords and are playable in the warhammer 2 campaign the vortex.

The first warhammer factions are only usable in the mortal empires dlc. Which is basically both the first and second game combined!

High elves have 3 lords. Alith Anar was released as FLC.

[The Divine Shadow]

This is game way better than warhammer 1?

[Pheen]

Mechanically I prefer 2 over 1 yea, but you might prefer the races in 1 over 2, its pretty personal wich you'd prefer more.

[Kapuska]

I would get warhammer 1 if I had to pick one. But thats just me. I liked the first game's races more. For some reason I dont like elves.

WH1 is also on sale for 15$, so you might as well get that and give it a shot. You can always get WH2 in the upcoming Summer sale and have all the races in Mortal Empires later.

You now get 3 High Elf Lords without having to purchase anything.

[RoomTempiQ]

get WH1 now, its on massive sale. Then get WH2 after if you enjoy one, that way you can play Mortal Empires which is amazing.
