Boss Guides

Your go-to guide for all Legendary Lords in Total War: Warhammer III, including base game, DLCs, and Immortal Empires. Master the battlefield with expert insights!

Hey there, future legend! So, you're diving into the massive world of Total War: Warhammer III and want to know who's who when it comes to the big bosses, right? You're in the right spot. This guide is all about the Legendary Lords – the unique characters who lead your factions and really define your campaign. Think of them as your ultimate generals, each with their own story, skills, and playstyle. As of Update 7.0, there are a whopping 104 Legendary Lords to choose from across all the games and expansions. That's a ton of options! The Starting Lineup (Base Game) When _Total War: Warhammer III_ first launched, you got 10 Legendary Lords spread across the 7 base game races: Daemons of Chaos, Grand Cathay, Khorne, Kislev, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch. If you owned _Warhammer I_ and _Warhammer II_ and got the free Immortal Empires upgrade in December 2025, these 10 lords were available through the Total War: Warhammer III Upgrade Pack. Freebies and Early Bird Specials There was also a special DLC called the Ogre Kingdoms, which came free for anyone who pre-ordered or bought the game in the first week. It added two factions, each with its own Legendary Lord. Immortal Empires: The Big Crossover This is where things get really exciting! With the release of Immortal Empires, a whole bunch of lords from _Total War: Warhammer_ and _Total War: Warhammer II_ became playable in _Warhammer III_. * Be'lakor: He got his own faction in Immortal Empires, even though he's still a unique lord in The Realm of Chaos campaign. * Old Favorites: Lords like Grombrindal - The White Dwarf, Helman Ghorst, Volkmar the Grim, Kholek Suneater, and Sigvald the Magnificent were added, giving you new ways to play with them. DLC Powerhouses CA has been busy adding more lords through DLCs, expanding the roster significantly: * Champions of Chaos: This DLC brought us four new Warriors of Chaos factions, each with a new Legendary Lord: Azazel, Festus the Leechlord, Vilitch the Curseling, and Valkia the Bloody. It also included a rework for the Warriors of Chaos. * Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs: This one added three new Chaos Dwarfs factions to both The Realm of Chaos and Immortal Empires campaigns. * Shadows of Change: This DLC focused on Grand Cathay, Kislev, and Tzeentch, adding Yuan Bo, the Jade Dragon, Mother Ostankya, and The Changeling respectively. * Thrones of Decay: Get ready for new lords for the Dwarfs (Malakai Makaisson), Nurgle (Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord), and The Empire (Elspeth von Draken). Plus, Epidemius was added as a free-to-play (FLC) legendary lord with this pack. * Omens of Destruction: This DLC introduced Golgfag Maneater for the Ogre Kingdoms, Skulltaker for Khorne, and Gorbad Ironclaw for the Greenskins. Arbaal the Undefeated also joined as an FLC legendary lord. * Tides of Torment: This pack added Dechala, the Denied One for Slaanesh, Sayl the Faithless for Norsca, and Sea Lord Aislinn for the High Elves. The Masque of Slaanesh was also released as an FLC legendary lord. Upcoming Lords CA isn't stopping anytime soon! * Bhashiva & The Tiger Warriors: This upcoming DLC will add Bhashiva, the Desert Tigress for Grand Cathay. * Lords of the End Times: This is a big one, introducing Nagash as the leader of a new race, plus three new factions for other races, each with their own Legendary Lord. Keep an eye on this space as we'll be updating it with more details on each lord and how to best lead them to victory!
