It's a Warhammer 3 teaser with heavy hints about which races are coming with it.

OmegaJak#7170

No TW:W2 DLC has had a teaser like this, it's definitely TW:W3. And his mention of 'rage', 'trickery', 'dwarfs' and 'dimwits' sounds to me like the starting races might well be Chaos Dwarfs, Ogres... and Khorne and Tzeench. If that's the case, well, I'll be overjoyed.
And the despairing Beastmen fans really need to relax. The Dwarfs have had their rework, Beastmen rework will come as part of the next (last) LP for game 2, probably up against Dark Elves (they're the only TW:W2 race without six Legendary Lords yet). It may be a pre-order bonus for game 3, and given that game 3 is going to be really chaos heavy it would make sense for a chaos race 2 to be the pre-order bonus.
I'm 99% sure of all of this, if I'm right I'll personally be really pleased about it. I may be wrong!... but I'm almost certainly not.

That lead out every player who dont like bad race, or chaos race out. I wonder, if game 3 would sold well then. I wouldnt never waste my money on that kind of core, no way. I could wait, year of two.

If anything the teaser makes Chaos Dwarfs less likely; Grungni is only renowned by Dwarfs - Chaos Dwarfs hate and revile him.

Saying Grungni hints chaos dwarfs is like saying a reference to sigmar hints chaos.

OmegaJak#7170

Honestly I still think it's Chaos Dwarfs, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Not every part of the teaser needs to fit perfectly, it's just hinting.

SiWI#8629

personally I think that "Soldiers" could be Dogs of War/Southern Realm.

Yeah, possibly, but if they're going to include a human order race at start I think it'll almost certainly be Kislev.

AxiosXiphos#9040

SiWI said:

I think it is Khorne... because I think we will get 3 more teasers on the other gods... but we will see.

SaurianDruid#4682

If it is a Warhammer 3 teaser and this is indeed meant to indicate the core factions it means there's a strong chance of mono-gods after all, which deeply amuses me after what? A few years of people saying mono-gods is impossible?

Nothing is confirmed yet though. His drunkenness and rage could also just as easily be a reference to the ogres as well, and there was the "soldiers" bit that could be an indication of Dogs of War or Kislev who both use proper soldiers in their armies.

I think khorne is tease through "drunk of rage" but that could be chaos as a whole.

Tzeench is honestly a bit more prevalent in the teaser. Another thread's pointed out that the guy in the background is almost certainly Egrimm van Horstmann.

Beast_of_Guanyin#8747

Ogres, Humans, Dwarfs, DoC, all got pretty solid hints.

Bloodydagger#9716

I think we'll get a teaser for each Wind of Magic.

So, I see this argument a lot: "Why buy Game 3 if there are only Bad Guy core races?".

Honestly, there are two answers for this question:

• Game 3's version of Mortal Empires; and
  
• When WH3 comes out, all development will cease on WH2. No more patches, bug fixes, map changes, or new content
  

Even if your favorite races are in WH1 and/or WH2, any and all new content, changes, fixes, tweaks, etc., will be exclusive to Game 3's Mortal Empires.

You'd immediately get to enjoy your favorite WH1 and WH2 races in an expanded Mortal Empires map, with new evil factions, in addition to some potential Game 3-only improvements such as: Siege rework, Chaos End Times rework, Performance tweaks, updated engine, Diplomacy rework, etc.

Remember, Game 2 brought with it several new features and improvements over WH2, and that game was only in development for like a year. Game 3 has been in development for like 3 years now.

It doesn't matter what the core races for Game 3 are: if you are fully invested into the Trilogy, Game 3 brings a new, shinier, updated, slicker framework to continue playing with all of our wonderful toys, and tosses in 4 Core Races as a bonus.

Which would just as easily make it DoC, as they are the Daemons of the 4 Chaos Gods.... And have an armybook.

How are you being so dense? Nobody is saying grungni hints at Chaos Dwarfs. The other constellation that marks pride, arrogance and disdain that you have decreed can only be Slaanesh fits the Chaos Dwarfs just as much.

Valkaar#2507

In what trailer has literally EVERY word been a hint?

I’m not saying words are NEVER hints. Especially their cheeky pun words can be telling. But most of the time, most of the dialogue and text in their teasers and updates are just atmospheric fluff.

There is no way that trailer alone hinted at all 4 cores. Especially not with random words. Maybe 1 race hint. Maybe. Could also just be hinting at the ‘story’ like hinting at whatever Game 3’s Vortex equivalent story piece will be; rather than hinting a race.

sasori1548#7252

Calm your horses, its just the first trailer. My expectation for WH3 core races are:

Deamons of Chaos (bele'kor for undivided and sub-factions as mono-gods)

Ogre Kingdoms (2 LL)

Chaos Dwarfs (2LL)

Kislev (2LL)

The problem is that if we add Bela'kor for chaos undivided and add rest of LL's as sub-faction mono-gods then we need 5LL for DoC. This is a bit unlikely to happen at once so i don't know. Maybe CA does us a favor and gives us more LL's for DoC? I mean it has been over 2 years since the last race pack. Show mercy C.A!

Then DoC, they are the armies of the 4 gods. Hints at gods do not just mean "Monos", it can just as easily be hints towards Daemons, who will be the antagonist of the game. DoC are an armybook race, if you think Monos are getting priority over them you're deluding yourself.

Chaos are coming but the fact that we have an Imperial astronomer with the advisor / agent of Tzeentch behind him implies that the Empire is mixed up in this story (so far).

As I've said from day one you can't have Chaos Demons without the Empire of man to corrupt or fight back.

" Those born under this sign are known to be disciplined, honourable and skilled at arms "

Seems to me that when Chaos returns so will Sigmar in Valten and we will play out a different version of the end times

Could be a reference to Kislev or Dogs of War, both being disciplined, skilled at arms and honerable (with DoW that varies a bit more though". One of these is also almost certainly the 4th core too, so I don't see why you drew the Empire into this, as it is virtually certain they will not be playable initially in game 3.

Sheikh_Nimr#9382

Lmao, not all words behind the script have a secret meaning guys. The teaser for WH2 just had a couple of pyramids, which hinted at exactly one single faction, although the historical crowd managed to misrepresent that and believe that TW: Colonialism was on the works. The teaser is pretty simple, it indicates the end of times and the arrival of Chaos demons. That's pretty much it, you don't need a doctorate in WH lore to understand this.

The dislike ratio on the reveal cinematic was staggering. And look what we got, one of the biggest TW games ever.

*Hears dino noises*

"MUST BE AZTECS VS. SPANIARDS!"

So much disappointment that day. While it was all so very obvious, as they were going to talk about the future of Warhammer at that same moment at EGXRezzed.

As we go into these trailers; there is clearly going to be a lot of grasping at straws to make certain race combinations make sense.

Thank you for demonstrating this point clearly.

The astromancer announces in shock that the very sky is moving to form a constellation that represents warfare.

As much as I love and want the dogs of war... if you had to pick a faction whose arrival makes the literal galaxy change shape I wouldn't bet on the plucky paychest mercenaries.

I mean this teaser suggested that stars literally moved billions of miles in an instant. We are talking portents of the end of the world here. The End Times cometh.

Not every line's a hint. The meaning of the constellation and the power of Azyr increasing are hinting enough.

Agreed. People like to take things really out of context in these things just to form a narrative that hints at what they want. When they're occasionally right, they tout that ''CA are very obvious with their hints'' and conveniently ignore all the things they may have gotten wrong in the past.

Personally I wonder if there's any tinfoil left to buy, what with so many people having made hats out of it.
