![]() ![]() The new Tzeentch units for Total War: Warhammer 3's Shadows of Change DLC. The Blue Scribes are a pair of magic heroes who surf about on a sort of enchanted writing desk, the Tzaangors are hit-and-run former Beastmen who soak up power from spells cast in their vicinity, the Cockatrice is an overfed bird that spews poison and acid, and the Mutalith Vortex Beast is your classic Lovecraftian walking ball of tentacles. ![]() The Changeling also gets some tasty battlefield units for those times when cloak-and-dagger shenanigans won't cut the mustard. The Changeling can also sneak cultists into a city under the guise of looting it, so as when visiting ruins with Skaven armies nearby, don't trust any settlements he mysteriously decides not to occupy. Perform enough schemes in a Theatre and you'll unlock the opportunity to perform a Grand Scheme, which triggers a mega setpiece battle with special rewards. The Changeling perceives the world as a series of Theatres. He specialises in Minor and Grand Schemes, from building cults in enemy cities to duping characters into fighting each other, and even assuming the form of another Lord. Tzeentch is already your go-to chaos god for manipulating affairs at the campaign map level, but The Changeling takes that even further. Still, it sounds like the new Tzeentch Lord might wash away my Total Warennui, in being one of those playstyles that is more about tricking and invading rivals than taking territory. There's only so many times you can do that dance of shieldwalls before it loses its charm. I've been going off Total War lately - I fired up a new Lizardman game last month, having developed a hankering for dinos after reviewing Exoprimal, and found myself lingering in disappointment on each faction's reliance on rock-paper-scissors unit relationships. Sega have formally unveiled the next steaming helping of Total Warhammer 3 DLC, Shadows of Change, which adds three Legendary Lords to this already-jam-packed strategy game: the Changeling for the demonic Tzeentch faction, Yuan Bo for Grand Cathay, and Mother Ostankya for Kislev, plus a brace of new campaign mechanics, units and battlefield abilities. ![]()
