Description

The Skulltaker DLC pack for Total War: WARHAMMER III introduces Khorne’s Immortal Champion and the greatest of all Bloodletters, Skulltaker, as a playable Legendary Lord alongside a deadly host of new battle units, gameplay features and objectives to be experienced in the immense Immortal Empires campaign or Custom Battles.

Skulltaker relentlessly seeks worthy skulls for his master. Constantly scanning the battlefield for the strongest opponents, he issues a thunderous challenge before swiftly ending their lives. Embodying Khorne’s unyielding fury, he takes immense pride in his martial abilities and views himself as an unstoppable force.

Campaign Feature:
● Cloak of Skulls: As the champion of Khorne, Skulltaker must seek-out and defeat powerful enemy lords across the heroic pantheon of the Warhammer World and add their skulls to his infamous cloak. With each new skull he earns ‘Champions Essence’ allowing him to unlock new bonuses or upgrade existing ones, granting powerful new abilities and traits that increase his proficiency in combat.

Battle Playstyle:
● Few daemons ascend to the exalted position of Khorne’s Champion and those who do are assured to be lethal in almost every regard. This is true for Skulltaker, a force of daemonic destruction, he excels at hunting down and duelling enemy lords before cleaving through ranks of troops with his two-handed Slayer Sword. His Cloak of Skulls passive ability grants increasing spell resistance and ward saves the more he kills. 

New Units:
● Nine new units from the Blood God’s domain enter the fray, including two Legendary Heroes; Skarr Bloodwrath ‘the bloodthirsty butcher’ and Scyla Anfingrimm ‘the rage of Khorne’, followed by a host of acolytes including the Bloodspeaker, Slaughterbrute, Bloodbeast, Wrathmongers, Skullreapers, and Khorngors.

Content Overview:
● 1 Legendary Lord
● 2 Legendary Heroes
● 1 Lord
● 5 Battle Units
● 3 Regiments of Renown
● New Gameplay Mechanics and Features
● Playable in Immortal Empires and Custom Battles Only

Yet another broken OP DLC in Warhammer 3. I love all the new QoL and extra races but man... I kinda miss the challenge WH2 offered, when there was still strategy needed in my strategy game...

I was waiting for bloodletter type of legendary lord and finally got it! But alas, as per the usual CA trends he was made so ridicolously overpowered that it's not even fun to play him. The whole idea is that they

Fun power trip campaign, right up until you realise bonuses from the cloak of skulls have stopped working and there's no reason to continue interacting with it. 12 months after release and this core feature of the dlc

CA has started gutting all the unique narrative flavor from their DLCs and calling them 'sandbox campaigns'. It's literally just an excuse to cut content. And better yet, they went back to retroactively take content out

This LL is literal hell when you meet him as Bordeleaux Errant or Markus Wulfheart (and you will, because Skulltaker will eventually get to you). Lustria becomes a deadly battlefield where removing this guy from the map
