We very much thank Mhaedros for joining us as a guest writer with his review of Warhammer II; me not being a fan of the serie I must say he almost covinced me to try it, if the review could only be a bit more .. lovely..

Jokes aside, please feel free to rep him (by using the small green button on the bottom of the page) if you liked his review as I did. Him being the Director of the Gamer's Gazette and a professional slacker, he knows for certain what he's writing about! He's just so .. lovely

Great review, Mhaedros, with an excellent and in-depth introduction to the different factions and their mechanics. I enjoyed the images and the humorous lines, too! The rituals mechanic sounds like a good way to add interest and challenge to the mid-to-late campaign.

The image showing the Black Ark - and the campaign map, including seas - made me wonder about the representation of sea warfare in Warhammer II. (I don't have a computer powerful enough to play the game, unfortunately, so I can't simply start a campaign and find out.) I get the impression that naval warfare exists in Warhammer games and that it's auto-resolved, is that right?

Fantastic work, hopefully you'll do something similar for Tomb Kings when they come soon

Great review,i have not bought the game yet as i just could not really get into the first,i tried but it just did not grab me.I have an interest in the warhammer world due to the fact i enjoy reading the books but not playing the tabletop,the tabletop did not grab me either although i tried a couple of times with a cousin who loves to play and paint the figures.

Very nice review.
I guess I'll have to start a campaign at some point. Haven't touched the new extended map yet.

Thanks. It somehow had slipped my mind that this game came out. Now I must obtain it!

Any idea if it supports Mods? I've been on a mod kick ever since I started using ModDrop and Warhammer seems like the perfect thing.

The Steam Workshop is filled to the brim with all kinds of mods; The only potential issue is that mods have to be made compatible with every DLC and update, but the game launcher is actually surprisingly good at figuring out out-of-date mods, and which should work with the current version of the game!

There's all kinds of things, like visual improvements, new units and improved mechanics.
