Which DLCs to get?

[DuX1112]

Hey friends, well... See title lol. I want to have all races. So far I just have Skaven and Lizard People. Is there a races bundle perhaps, or do I need to "catch all DLCmons" to have the full version of the game?

I would also greatly appreciate your opinions on which DLC is good and why, and which DLC is bad, or not very good, and the reasons why.

Thanks!

There's no bundle.
If you want to have access to literally everything then you need literally everything, except the Blood DLC.

[Mr Robert House]

buy dlcs for races you like to play, you might end up with them all, you might not

[The Sand Witch]

You mostly need WH1 and 2 to get the full experience of the game, not the dlcs.
On the other hand, which DLC to get asks the question "what for"

If it's for MP, you definitely need ikit claw to push skaven to their true potential. Nothing else really is needed.

On the other hand, what I enjoyed the most are :

The hunter and the beast => I like what it brings to the empire and I like the faction a lot. It brings the worst campaign for LM but they literally have 0 good campaign anyway, so it really is all about the empire. You get a huge dino, so why not if you like that.

Throt vs the WE => I never liked WE, have terrible campaigns which are besides as easy as they are cheap, but Throt might have the coolest skaven campaign, at least for me. Cool units brought to skaven as well, especially the rat-doges.

Tomb Kings => this is controversial because they play like none others. The faction is very well design but their campaign may not suit everybody. Very nice for MP (full additional race) and 2 out of 4 cool campaigns if you like slow but snowballish campaigns.

The warden and the paunch => brings really great stuff to GS and a cool lord as well. On the other hand, not bad either for HE, the lord and campaign are both decent.

I didn't find much in any other DLC but of course it's a matter of taste.
for MP, the Vampire Coast may be quite interesting. For SP, they have super cheap campaigns, and that I feel is generous.

I cannot stress this enough: buy the DLC on sale . There is a ton of it and much of it is at least good, but it adds up to a lot of cash when not on sale. Sales happen often and offer deep discounts. Isthereanydeal[isthereanydeal.com] is your friend!

As for actual DLCs, if you don't have the first Total War: Warhammer, make that your first purchase. It unlocks 4 races and you can play a map that combines the maps of games 1 and 2 called 'Mortal Empires'. I would also recommend the race packs of Vampire Coast and Tomb Kings. Other than that, figure out which race's style of play you like and then look at getting their lord packs.

That's how I have those 4 races yes... I have some other DLCs too I think. And the DLCs are salty AF. 😭I was looking at the Egyptian looking one but it's so expensive.

Game is in development for 5 years. of course there are DLCs.

As for if they are expensive or not its up to personal opinion. personally I think they are great addition and worth every cent. developers are doing really great job by adding stuff.

If they are too expensive for You try waiting for a sale or use keyshops

No bundles, but prioritize Prophet and the Warlock for Ratling Guns and Jezzails and Shadow and the Blade for Mortars. Lizardmen do not need DLC units, believe it or not, since SEM are there best units.

Like Mr. House said, buy the ones for factions you want to play. I've got 2100 hours in and havent played half the lords available. If you buy a DLC for a faction you arent interested in or never get around to playing its a waste. No need to buy them all at once.

[I|III||I|||II|IIII|]

DLC is all faction based. You decide which faction style you enjoy the most or connect with for whatever reason and then buy DLC accordingly. There's not point in buying all the DLC in the game if you're not going to play those races for more than a single campaign or two.
If you post which factions you enjoy the most then people can leave you a list of which DLC will bring your the best new toys to play with.

How do I know which factions I want to play if I have never played them? I can buy all races from all DCLs... But knowing which one I want to play will be the result of spending time with them?

What playstyle do you like? In Battle and on Campaign map. Answer however you know, you don't have to be accurate. In order for us to suggest something, we need data.

I loaded up the game having never had played a single WH game and knowing nothing of the lore. I was immediately compelled to play a few factions for w/e reason. I was also intrigued by a couple others. I wouldn't think into it too much and just select who you feel most drawn to. It seems you're drawn to skaven and lizardmen, so I would consider picking up the DLC for those races.

Which races / factions were those?

The only mandatory DLC is clan Skryre https://store.steampowered.com/app/965220/Total_War_WARHAMMER_II__The_Prophet__The_Warlock/
