    Default Faction/Lord for first playthrough?

    Now that all the main factions and lords are revealed (save for a last minute/day one surprise), which faction will you use in your first playthrough and who will your main legendary lord of choice?

    I'd choose Karl Franz. I've always enjoyed playing as the Empire, with their muskets, cannons, strong will, beards... wait...

    same as attilla, I want to destroy everything first before I rebuild, so chaos + orcs, then everything else. and this time around I just might play every faction since they are so different.

That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." freakin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.” WWZ

    Have you had your daily dose of fear yet? craziii

    I'll be playing Mannfred and the Vampire Counts. Zombie dragons, skeletons, and vampires. What more can someone ask for?

    I'm really hoping to play as Bretonnia. If I can't, I guess I'm playing as Grimgor.

    I voted Mannfred but Karl Franz is a close second. Empire and Vampire Counts are the two factions that really interest me right now, and Dwarves/Chaos/Orks will be much later playthroughs, and probably in that order.

    First dive in with Orcs & Goblins. I know them best from TT and that should give me a slight advantage oposed to last Total War being Rome1 ^^

    I'll play Empire first, to get the hang of things. Franz is cliche, so Balthasar would be my choice for the first game. He's also a badass.

    I honestly have absolutely no idea. It will probably end up as the Empire for my first campaign, but honestly, Im going to play all of them.

    I didnt even know, that you need to choose a 'lord/hero' to play as a main char?
    My votes goes to the empire, karl franz.
    Why: looks cool, like the empire army setup.
    But i'll play every SP campaign.

    I wonder how they will balance Kholek, as his gameplay should be fun just by going on his own, since in theory he is one of the largest creatures in Warhammer ;P

    Azhag looks fun, then probably Kohlek, Kemmlar, Ungrim, and then Batlthasar, in roughly that order.

    I'm probably going to also run more than one campaign at once.

    I voted Empire, to get the baseline (as I perceive it) - also, Empire is centrally placed to take on all comers. Also picked Gelt, 'cause he's cool, but I'm unclear as to how playing a non-faction leading lord will play out in the game.

    Probably involves tons of backstabbing and power grabbing ^^

    Well you only start the game with one lord, but you can get the other one later on, correct?

    I mean Karl Franz is totally awesome, and you get unlock his griffin to ride on, but balthasar is my favorite character and metal magic is my favorite magic lore

    Anyone find it strange that WoC has 3 lords but everyone else so far has only 2? I sure hope they add another for the base before the game is released, would be weird otherwise.

    They will most likely add them through dlcs. For Chaos they probably included all the lords together because it's a paid dlc, and making customers pay twice for different parts of the same faction would be really unpopular. So they decided to sell a faction separately, but the very least they could do is to sell it complete.

    I imagine they have at least 3 lords planned for each faction.

    When/if I get the game, the first of the original factions I will choose will be either Karl Franz or Von Carstein. However, my first playthrough, if it happens, is likely to be with a Bretonnian.
