The paid expansion adds four Legendary Lords, over 50 units, and Immortal Empires access without owning the base game.

Total War: Warhammer III’s latest paid add-on, Lords of the End Times, brings four new Legendary Lords to the Immortal Empires campaign. Inspired by the apocalyptic End Times period in the Warhammer world, it adds more than 50 units and characters alongside a free base-game update that changes parts of the game for all players.

Quick answer: The expansion is out now on PC. Buy the full four-Lord bundle for $30.57 (about 15% off) or pick up any single Lord pack for $8.99, and any purchase unlocks the Immortal Empires campaign without the base game.


What Lords of the End Times includes

The expansion arrived on September 24th, 2026. Each Lord joins an existing race with a dedicated campaign system and a fresh unit roster. Nagash’s Undead Legions faction, the Host of Nagash, is playable. The overview trailer introduces the four Lords one by one, then moves on to campaign selection screens and battle footage.

The four Legendary Lords

Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead

Nagash raises necropolises and collects dark energy to fuel his Black Pyramid, revealing sigils that strengthen his forces. His path to godhood requires gathering the nine Mortarchs—including Arkhan the Black—and recovering the missing Books of Nagash.

His battlefield magic centers on the Lore of Undeath, and he can recruit from every Undead roster: Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts, and Vampire Coast. Finding the Books of Nagash unlocks further Lores of Magic. His new forces include Morghast Harbingers alongside Morghast Archai, the Khemric Titan, and the Coven Throne; legendary heroes Dieter Helsnicht and Walach Harkon join them.

Boris Todbringer, Elector Count of Middenland

Boris defends the Empire under Ulric and hunts his nemesis, the Beastlord Khazrak One-Eye. Defeating enemies raises his faction’s Fervour, which lets him develop the Great Temple of Ulric, upgrade its six Sanctuaries for permanent bonuses, and perform Winter Rites to buff his armies. As the Flame of Ulric brightens, he earns the right to recruit Elector State Troopers.

He fights as a frontline melee general wielding Legbiter and hands command bonuses to nearby Middenland troops. New units include Knights of the White Wolf, Teutogen Guard, Wolf-Kin, Hunting Hounds, and the Celestial Hurricanum, with Ar-Ulric Emil Valgeir added as a legendary hero.

The Glottkin, the Befouled Brothers

The Glottkin spread corruption and harvest souls to earn Gifts of Nurgle, a pool of Rituals of Decay and Grandfather’s Blessings that upgrade the faction, its characters, and its settlements. Conquered settlements can be turned into Gardens of Corruption, which produce Plagues to spread across the map and grant access to more Daemonic Nurgle units than any other Warriors of Chaos faction.

Otto, Ethrac, and Ghurk act as a single monstrous combatant that mixes melee and magic. Their roster brings Putrid Blightkings, the Giant Spined Chaos Beast, the Chaos Siege Giant, and the Basilisk, with Gutrot Spume, Morbidex Twiceborn, Bloab Rotspawned, and Orghotts Daemonspew as legendary heroes.

Thanquol, the Grey Seer

Clan Scruten’s Thanquol carries out Masterplans, classified as Kill-Stab, Steal-Take, or Great-Smart. Each scheme plays out on an interactive board: manage an alarm meter and use clan tricks—for example, pay Clan Skryre to lower the alarm. Complications can throw a plan off track, so resolving them is part of the system.

As a Grey Seer he casts from the Lores of Plague and Ruin and can unlock the Dreaded Thirteenth spell. Once he mounts his four-armed Rat-Ogre bodyguard Boneripper, he gains far more survivability while Boneripper deals heavy melee damage. His new units include melee and missile Stormfiends, the Warp-Doom Magma Cannon, and the Cauldron of a Thousand Poxes, with Skreech Verminking as a legendary hero.

Immortal Empires access without the base game

For the first time in the series, any Lords of the End Times purchase—either the complete bundle or a single Lord pack—unlocks access to the Immortal Empires campaign. Total War: Warhammer III is not required, making one $8.99 pack an entry point for new players.

After purchase, each Lord appears on the campaign selection screen tied to its race. You can launch straight into Immortal Empires and start with that Lord’s faction, army, and unique mechanics already unlocked.

Free Update 9.0 for all players

Update 9.0 ships free alongside the expansion for everyone who owns the game, and it is one of the larger base-game updates the series has had. Neferata, the Vampire Queen, is added as a free Legendary Lord.

  • Neferata added as a free Legendary Lord
  • Full Vampire Counts rework, including new confederation options
  • Reworked Archaon the Everchosen with an updated model
  • New End Game Scenarios
  • Updated Victory Conditions for every legacy Legendary Lord

Lords of the End Times brings four Lords from the Undead, Empire, Nurgle, and Skaven, while a free update overhauls the Vampire Counts and Archaon. With Immortal Empires now live, it gives returning commanders and newcomers alike a compelling reason to enter the game.
