TEB/Dogs of War is the best option for an early adopter bonus for the following reasons.
1. They are not expected at all (not part of the 16 main races) - so people would be excited about these new factions and not cry about them having a no DLC for DLC problem.
2. They connect game 1 and 2 - the factions in the east and the west would be playable - and the LL's could start in a boat off shore in either campaign.
3. It would offer a different playstyle instead of race to the vortex - in game 2 they could have an economy based victory condition because that is their goal to pillage the new world. They would also serve as a recuring annoyance to the main 4 races in game 2 as they come in their ships.
4. Some of the units could be used for a mercenary system in some of the factions for game 1 and maybe game 2.
5. The whole world feels more complete with less Empire clones, and it would give hope to others wanting Kislev to eventually be in the game.
6. It allows people who like playing human a chance to play one in the new world (and for people like me, a chance to smash humans with other races).
So CA if you are not planning already to make this the early-adopter bonus, I would recommend a change of plans, this would really complete the game and IMHO is the best way to promote game 2.
I want to point out that I am not a TEB/Dogs of War fan, I don't usually like playing human factions - in fact I haven't even played an Empire campaign. -But even then, I still think this is the best early-adopter bonus possible. Give a like if you agree.

9 · 9Likethough my guess on the Pre-order bonus is the safe choice of a playable subfaction, not anything fancy like an entire new faction outside of the 16 core races.

I don't care if it delays release for another 2 months, because if they added this, this game would be pre-ordered like crazy. -Which is good for warhammer fans, and CA.

As a DLC though...

1 · 1LikeFair, continuing.
I wasn't never sold on the idea that a pre order bonus of game 2 would have stuff you can't use in game 2 without game 1.
I'm skeptical that this would work.
Not only is the vortext kinda a big thing, so the DoW should interact with it somehow, but disconnecting them form it would mean they are kinda disconnecting with anyone else.
And as "raiding horde faction"? I don't know... a bunch if adventures/mercenaries is a odd "DOOMSDAY" threat, next to BM, WoC ect.
There is a reason that GW stooped that system, because it is kinda nightmare for balance.
I hope that there is another race CA use for the cloning in game 2, then the Empire.
I found the "human angle" overrated.
I know some people thought/think that only human can sell a game but I disagree with that.
I don't think they will change the early adopter bonus at this point
But as race DLC's goes, DoW would be a candidate to expand the 16.
More then cathy.. or nippon....

...
Just give it as adapter bonus sooner.
Please, CA.
No bargaining and haggling to get player purses.
Its a good game, no need to lure us into a "making a good deal" emotion.

Meanwhile you would have to fight all the major races and ally with estalia and sometimes betray them

the rosters are small enough that they don't especially need dlc
or reason burns or acid bruises anyone,
stop your gladiator love for agressions.
