On the Battlefield Snikch is a lord and hero nightmare. This mechanic is completely unbalanced albeit lore friendly as no matter how strong the opposition is Snikch can wipe out 1 faction instantly every 100 turns. These can range from theft and espionage all the way up to the Deathmaster himself being able to destroy cities and even entire factions when he’s a high enough level. Assassin lords and heros in clan Eshin can undergo missions that will remove them for a few turns but will always be successful.

Befitting of a master clan of assassins, Snikch’s campaign revolves a lot around assassination contracts. The Deathmaster himself however is a far greater threat than anyone realises. Unlike Malus and the Dark Elves who are very anti large focused, Deathmaster Snikch and the Skaven are more geared towards anti infantry. Now for the other benefactor of this DLC, the Skaven. Darkblade also has a cold one mount named Spite, which serves as his only mount option.

Malus’ quest item is for the Warpsword of Khaine which will grant him very strong regeneration as long as he’s in melee combat. This refills Malus’ health and gives him access to powerful abilities at the cost of his health gradually decreasing so use it sparingly. Once per battle he can also call upon Tz’arkan to take over his body. In battle Malus is a combat machine even compared to other expert fighters in the Warhammer games. In addition Malus will also get quests given by Tz’arkan for unique rewards like items or even followers. Possession is the main shtick for Malus as the further he falls to the daemon the more unruly the populace gets, but the stronger Malus personally becomes. In exchange the Witch King will supply Malus with an elixir to combat his possesion by the daemon Tz’arkan. Malus’ Campaign is geared towards helping Malekith complete the vortex ritual.

Starting off with the Dark Elves we have new Legendary Lord Malus Darkblade.
