В игре нас ожидают  четыре играбельных расы: Empire, Chaos, Skaven и High Elves, и к ним в придачу частично контролируемые армии орков, гномов, вампиров и гоблинов. Вот такое вот многонациональное оливье. Что же касается сюжетной линии, то действия игры разворачиваются через год после Великой войны. Армии Хаоса отброшены далеко в Северные пустоши, однако сдаваться, по традиции, никто не собирается. Все новые и новые лидеры с хотическим складом ума появляются из ниоткуда в тщетных попытках объединить разрозненные части войск, однако никому из них не под силу сравниться с павшим Азавар Кулом (Asavar Kul). В то же время силы Империи, поддерживаемые эльфийскими частями, продорлжают зачищать территории от вражеских бандформирований, которые не прекращают терроризировать пограничные поселения. В общем, скучать нам ну никак не придется.
Среди характерных особенностей игры можно отметить:
