What DLC/total warhammer 1 worth to buy?
Hi I only have vanilla warhammer 2, have played through tyrion and dark elves campaigns. Is there anything on the DLC worth buying right now including warhammer 1? Thanks!

It all depends on what kind of playstyle you like, what factions you like, and do you want a more conquest/sandbox kind of experience.

Indeed, ultimately it's up to the gamer to decide, you can ask opinions and do research on the dlc's, even the factions themselves, and form a decision on what you want to play.

What I definitely and without restrictions can recommend is getting the first game for Mortal Empires. This campaign offers so much replayability that only the two base games without any DLC will net you hundred of hours.
Otherwise what zach said, expand upon what you like :)

Regarding the race packs, honestly I cannot at this stage recommend Beastmen and to a lesser extent also not the Woodelves, I'd only recommend them if you like elves in general and a shooty/more skirmish faction.

Norsca is pretty fun though.
Tomb Kings are quite nice as well as they are really unique in their playstyle

Vampirates are as a hybrid horde/empire building faction also quite unique but tbh not my cup of tea after all. Not a bad faction at all though if you prefer gunpowder, Monsters and Vampires.

Yeah I was thinking of mortal empires, for a more sandboxy experience which seems more fun to me than vortex. but i'm not sure before i pu ll the trigger

Warhammer 1 is a must. Mortal Empires is just amazing. Same with the races.

Norsca is pretty fun.

Wood Elves and Beastmen are too expensive.

And Chaos has a fame of half-done.

Regarding Warhammer 2. Tomb Kings and the Vampirates are just great.

Lord Packs only, since the Faction packs have not yet been updated for ME. Its not impossible to play Wood Elves or Beastmen but its not fun to play them.

EDIT, keep forgetting that Norsca is a DLC from WH1. Eh I havent played with it much yet to give an opinion on it.

Everything from game 2 is really good though.

Game 3 will likely end up being a better gaming experience than 2 if the trend continues.

Norsca is the best faction DLC from TW WH 1, in my opinion. I wish chaos was better, Beastmen as well. My guess is Chaos and Beastmen will get updates in TW WH 3 to reflect their lore, or make them more powerful. The Wood Elves amber mechanic can be rough to an otherwise fun faction.
