I bought Warhammer 2 a few weeks ago. I was able to play my first head-to-head campaign with a friend without issue. I then tried my own Vortex campaign with Teclis. As I approached the later stages of the campaign, I started experiencing crashes, and could not even get into the final Vortex battle. After that the campaigns I have tried crash repeatedly every few turns. It will crash on the campaign map. It will crash in battles. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. That hasn't helped. My drivers appear to be in order even though the initial start button to enter the game says they may be out of date. The last crash sent my computer into a blue screen of death spiral that I was fortunately able to get out of through multiple restarts. Unfortunately I haven't been getting any specific crash messages (other than Warhammer 2 has stopped working).
Here is my computer info (bought the computer a couple months ago, have had 0 problems with other games and work related stuff):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70 GHz RAM: 16GB 64 bit OS and processor Windows 10

Thank you for responding! I actually didn't experience crashes for a couple days after posting, but they returned with a vengeance today.
I've attached the preferences and DxDiag. I don't have any crash files (I searched in the place you mentioned), and I don't get any explanation for the crash. It is just straight to blue screen. It crashes both in single player and multiplayer campaign (both on the map and in battles), but I have to experience a crash in multiplayer battles.
I've also tried to upload a save file, but keep getting a "failed to upload" message.
To upload the save you may need to compress/zip it using the Send To option.
Edit: looking at the error reports on your Dxdiag, it seems that the blue screens are possibly related to a corrupted driver. You could try updating your graphics driver using a custom clean install from the Nvidia site. http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

@BillyRuffian Thank you for the advice! I actually downloaded an NVIDIA driver from their website a couple days ago. How often would I need to do that to avoid corruption?

You should only need to do it when a new driver comes out, but you should make sure you do a clean install otherwise remnants of the old one can get left behind and create issues.

So I ended up doing a clean install, all my games started crashing, and then realized I had the wrong drivers. So I got the right drivers, had my computer repair its own C: Drive, and that fixed the crashes for a couple days. However, the crashes are back now (not in battles, but always in campaign map). My friend will be posting the save file on this thread shortly (we are doing multiplayer campaign).
