Anyway, what Im trying to say is this: its been almost seven years since then.

And Im still head over heels in love with these games even now.

Somehow, impossibly, that seems to be holding true forWarhammer 3as well.

Having not done a digital preview before now, this was something of a revelation to me.

Eagled-eyed readers will have spotted an eighth, as-yet-unannounced faction here called the Daemons of Chaos.

Im assuming theyve just been announced as this article was published?

If not, wow, what a scoop!

Now thats pretty chaotic alright.

And the more they like you, the better the goodies youll be able to unlock.

This faction is all about synergy, then.

How do different units from different factions compliment one another in battle?

What playstyles does that encourage?

Is this actually any more fun than just sticking with a single, more intentional roster?

And to be honest, I cant answer any of those questions just yet.

It seems interesting though!

I do want to mention one other Daemons of Chaos feature that I absolutely loved right off the bat.

Big fan of this.

Id love to hear some Chinese takes on this, frankly.

Its also totally brilliant.

I think this might be one of my favourite faction-specific systems across the entire trilogy, to be honest.

The Creative Assembly have only gone and done it again.
