Creative Assembly's "Total War" series is back, but this time we go to the world of fantasy and play out battles in the "Warhammer" universe.

Time for me to go home for the day... Squealed at my desk like a 13 year old girl at a One Direction concert.

It's a shame CA hasn't released a quality title since Rome: TW over 10 years ago. Though I love Warhammer and have enjoyed some TW games I just can't get excited because of the poor quality control of CA.

Looks more like Lord of the Rings with a little steampunk thrown in than Warhammer, maybe an updated "King Arthur - The Role Playing Wargame" . Exciting nonetheless

OMG this is so exciting. Its the first time War hammer will translate to a video game well. Not an MMO, not an RTS. A resource gathering TBS and RTS main combat with huge armies.

Rome II was bad but Empire and Napoleon and Shogun II were fine. Not perfect games, but they still played well at least in my experience. I'm totally ready to get excited.

Well, Warhammer is heavily inspired by LotR and 'large scale fantasy battles' are kinda limited in how different they can be - big blocks of dudes fighting. I'm not saying you're wrong as such, just that looking like the battles from LotR is a compliment to this.

Needs moar Chaos.

this is a step in the right direction.... the minute we come out with LOTR: total war, I'm making the first pre-order of my life. I still prefer the third age MTW2 mod to any of the newer total war games.

I hope they will fix the perennial weakness of Total War games, that enemy combatants will just stand next to each other and do nothing. That happens quite a few times in this clip although they pan very rapidly to mask such things. As with most game engines, perfecting the fundamentals takes second place to adding eye candy (and this one has plenty of that).
