    I prefer the DoW to be mostly ROR for several factions. Because in the end the DoW were never a cohesive force but a pool in which GWs dropped for which they had no place for elsewhere. In this messy format they do not fit TWWH IMO.

    However I would like to see the more coherent aspects, nameley the Southern Realms, to be turned into a proper playable faction.

    Agreed. I do not believe the destruction RoR in particular fit into an 8th edition Warhammer fantasy interpretation of DoW based on Tilea, including Ogres.
    Orcs and that psycho Dark Elf, maybe they can be considered too out there... but the Ogres can be perfect mercenaries, they are brutish but still sane, love gold and don't crave violence for the sake of violence like Greenskins. The Maneaters are Ogres who travelled the world as mercenaries and then returned to their people, evidently if Maneaters exist there must be Ogres still employed as mercenaries abroad.
    I couldn't agree more.

    If it comes with other subfactions of Tilea-Estalia, sure a faction...

    Otherwise just RoR... it's a company, not a civilisation.

    Not really. Tilea and DoW are the same since all DoW LLs are tilean Rulers.

    Hopefully a Southern Realm race pack, with DoW as a race mechanic.

    So that you can recruit your top tier units from other races as mercenaries like Ogre, High Elves, Empire etc.

    A race for sure, with the army book characters as LLs.

    With the Halfling Hot Pot as the best artillery unit. Next to the Galloping Gun.

    I’m not against them but I have a feeling they won’t appear as a faction

    While I'm all for as many factions in the game as possible, I find it hard to imagine where 4-6 Dow/ southern kingdoms LLs go on the TWW3 map, now that we know it includes Cathay and probably quite a lot of the chaos wastes.

    Some territory on the southern coast, maybe a trade spot near Cathay too, but the bottom of the map needs space for CD, OK plus assorted green skins, skaven etc. And cross game dlc is a thing now, so placeholders for all the other factions they want later...

    Personally, I reckon it's 2 lords as a pre-order or bust, sadly.

    There are tons of trading posts and towns.
    - That tilean colony in cathay
    - Pigbarter
    - Sentinels
    - Ind

    There you go.

    The main thing I would be looking for from the southern realms is the implementation of pikemen and Estalian conquistadors with pike & shot Spanish style tercios.

    You mean Pirazzo's Lost Legion?

    He is included in the "additional pictures" spoiler section.

    I also just realized that the Kislev Streltsy unit would have the same shooting animation as a potential Estalia/Spanish themed Arquebus unit.
