Warhammer Information Thread Index

There are many mods for Warhammer Total War but I have noticed that there are quite a few that add new units that are not loreful at all. This annoyed me when I first saw them as I love the Old World setting, and that annoyance gave me the idea of writing up lists of all the potential units a modder could make for each faction. Unfortunately I did not quite realise that the list would reach into the hundreds, let alone reach over a thousand. As such, for any modder who wants to make units, there will be something there for you to make that no-one else has managed. I hope these resource lists prove useful to you!

Here is the index of each list I have written so far:

I will add new units now and again if I stumble across them, but for the most part these are to be considered complete. I may add more resource threads eventually, if I find something to write about.

Thank you for making this summary. You're lists are quite an inspiration.

[Frunk]

Fantastic work PaulH!

[PaulH]

For ease of access, I have split the Minor Factions list into numerous other smaller factions. In the process I managed to bulk out the Hobgoblin list, and I also split the Beastmen from Chaos and gave them a few extra units.

Enjoy!

Oh, and thanks for the comments guys!

[PaulH]

I've updated the Bretonnian thread to include my suggested unit lists for each faction in bretonnia and also all the legendary lords and heroes there.

[PaulH]

Just made an update I love to make: I've removed units from the Wood Elf list because they're being added into the game. I love it when that happens

[Radious]

Excelent, will surely use this for future roster additions!

Awesome . Anything in particular that has caught your eye?

[Radious]

First i need to touch the game assets, what is all in and then i will see what can be added. But cant wait for it! :-)

[PaulH]

That sounds great . Feel free to contact me if you need to discuss any of the units I've written about

[Der Phönix]

Awesome work! I went through most of the lists and I don't think I saw the Forgeworld units.

And there are some regiments of renown units that can be added I think.

@Der Phönix

Thank you! I've been looking through those links you've posted up. Many of the Forgeworld units are actually listed in the various army lists I've written, but many would be added in the Special Characters sections I'm aiming at writing up. I do have to be careful with adding units from Forgeworld as many are aimed at the Age of Sigmar crap, so I do pick and choose rather carefully when adding from there. If I've missed any, I'll add them to my lists.

When it comes to the Monstrous Arcanum, I'm really glad to have seen it, though unfortunately much of it is blurry so I've struggled to know where to place various monsters. However, when I find out where they go, I'll definitely be adding monsters like Incarnate Elementals to the lists. There is some awesome stuff in there.

On the top of the RoR units, the problem I have with that list is that very few of the units listed actually have their sources named. Which isn't 100% a problem, and I'll still add them to my Empire list, but I'll have to carry a disclaimer with them to let people know there is a chance that they aren't loreful. However, I do believe they are loreful, but it's best to add the disclaimer anyway.

If you stumble across anything else, I'd be really glad to see it.

[Der Phönix]

Happy to see you found it useful. A lot of the Age of Sigmar stuff is rubbish I agree.

The Monstrous Arcanum is an amazing book but it's quite blurry indeed and for some of the creatures they oddly enough did not describe to which faction it belongs. Anyways, from the top of my head, these are the factions that some of the units relate to. A few of them might be pretty obvious but since I was at it.

Dread Maws - Hobgoblins
Bonegrinder Giant - Tomb Kings
Carmine Dragon - Empire
Curs'd Ettin - Chaos
Incarnate Elemental of Beasts - Chaos/Beastmen
Magma Dragon - Chaos Dwarfs
Preyton - Beastmen
Skin Wolves - Chaos
Warpfire Dragon - Chaos
Siege Giant - Chaos Dwarfs
Kdai Fireborn - Chaos Dwarfs
Bale Taurus - Chaos Dwarfs
Bull Centaur Render - Chaos Dwarfs
Basilisk - Kingdom of Ind
Khemeric Titan - Tomb Kings
Toad Dragon - Chaos (fits Lizardmen pretty good too)
Mervyrm - High Elves
Bile Trolls - Chaos
Rogue Idol of Gork - Orks
River Troll Hag - Orks
Colossal Squig - Chaos
Mourngul - Vmapire Counts

People on the forum would probably know they few ones that are extra tricky and completely unreadable.

As for the RoR units, some of them have more info on google but others we are left completely in the dark on.

I stumble upon new stuff all the time and will certainly let you know . The work you have made here would be a great resource for CA as well.

You've probably seen this site below; great collection of unofficial army books and a lot of the Monstrous Arcanum unitsw are in them.

I'm not 100% on some of those assignments for those monsters, but I'll look into them. I know a lot of those are already in my lists though, which is good. I'll be able to finish up the rest soon with luck.

I'm careful with the warhammer armies project rules. I've added their lists where appropriate, and always listed them as "Unofficial", but if I spot any more useful units from it I'll add those

[Der Phönix]

Yes, it's a good thing you're going over it yourself as I might be mistaken on some of them. Another similar book to Monstrous Arcanum is the Storm of Magic book, which also contains a lot of new units. Have not been able to find a download for it but below is a review.

The unofficial books can be good for finding official units that are not in the official books, since the latter only contain those units produced as miniatures.

By the way, if you don't already have access to the White Dwarf Magazines, check out the the link below. A lot of these numbers contain tons of fluff, and many of the ROR units for the Empire you just added are in #354.

A few other Empire units can be found in the Uniforms and Heraldry of the Empire book.

Ill be posting some more stuff in the faction thread now and then.

Cheers

[PaulH]

Thanks in part to Der Phönix I've been able to add a large update in the form of a new thread that deals with the Lores of Magic. It's incomplete, but if you look, you'll see its pretty vast already.

Enjoy!
