\nCreative Assembly have just detailed Total War: Warhammer 3\u2019s first character pack, these being \u201csmaller, focused content drops built around a single character with their own unique feature, supported by a handful of exciting new units\u201d, priced (in this case) at \u00a33.99, $4.99 or \u20ac4.99 apiece.
\n<\/p>\n
\nYes, it\u2019s Creative Assembly once again nosing at the shards of your smashed piggy bank, but the developers have, in theory, pre-empted any rancour over DLC nickel-and-diming by making the character pack cat-themed. Everybody loves cats! Even when they cost as much as a medium oatmilk latte. Especially cats like Bhashiva \u2013 an entirely new Warhammer character – and her company of Tiger Warriors. Look at her ickle grumpy face! Look at her ickle flaming twin katara! ARGH get it off me get it off me get it off me, etcetera.
\n<\/p>\n
\nBhashiva and her feline gangsters will form part of the Grand Cathay faction, though sadly not, it seems, because some Creative Assembly designer spotted an obvious pun and was immediately assigned \u00a3100,000. The pack\u2019s paid contents are one Legendary Lord, one Lord, three regular units, and a \u201cUnique Campaign Feature, Final Battle, Quest Battle etc\u201d.
\n<\/p>\n
\nWhat manner of combatant is Bhashiva, then? She\u2019s a stealthy wrecking ball, equipped with incendiary weapons and a Heaven\u2019s Gate blink-style ability. \u201cEach strike not only scorches her victims but weakens their resistance to flame, letting her plough through fights the moment she commits,\u201d enthuses a blog post on CA\u2019s site. \u201cHer agility is at the core of her playstyle; she darts between threats, repositions effortlessly, and uses her mastery of stealth to pick the perfect moment to appear.\u201d
\n<\/p>\n
\nBattle designer Josh King adds that \u201cshe\u2019s the quiet dread in the back of your mind\u201d. How very unlike my family\u2019s own moggy, best summarised as \u201cthe quiet shitter in the back of the bedroom cupboard\u201d.
\n<\/p>\n
\nAs for the Tiger Warriors, they\u2019re a gang of nippy ambushers and so, relatively exotic among the boxy formations of regular Grand Cathay. Their Clawspeaker spellcasters are vanguard units equipped with a mix of healing, beast and shadow lore, making them an \u201cincredibly versatile force multiplier.\u201d

\n If you don\u2019t already own the Grand Cathay DLC, buying the Tiger Warrior character pack includes access to \u201cthe core Grand Cathay roster to ensure you get a complete experience\u201d. We can expect more details down the line. Also down the line: the release of Total War: Warhammer 3\u2019s Lords of the End Times expansion, which is chock full of necromancers. And sometime after that, the release of Total War: Warhammer 40,000 – one of Julian’s most anticipated games of 2026. And sometime after that, a long time probably, the release of Total War: Medieval 3.
