Watch Dwarfs VS Greenskin battle in Total War: Warhammer

Creative Assembly is working hard to make the new strategy title of the Total War franchise worth praising. This is the first time they move out of the familiar ground and embark themselves in a project that is based on a fantasy world. In this case, it´s the world of WARHAMMER Fantasy Battles, and as you can see in their new "Let's Play" video the game looks quite amazing considering it's pre-alpha footage. The 16 mins video features one of the early quest battles in Total War: Warhammer, where a Dwarfen army led by High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer himself gets ambushed by Greenskin forces as they patrol the dangerous underground tunnels of the Underway.

As most of Warhammer fans should know, the Dwarfs are a fantastic defensive force. Heavily armored and having access to lots of guns and artillery units, they are a force to be feared if you have to attack them. They bombard you relentlessly while you are getting close and once you charge them you have to face tough as nails warriors. But surviving a battle where you are getting assaulted by a green tide of goblins from all sides may prove quite a difficult task.

It's definitely quite an epic gameplay for a game that is still in the early stages of development, also being able to reflect with great fidelity the original tabletop game. If you were to imagine how a Warhammer battle would look in a video game it wouldn't be too far from what you see on that video. We can't wait to see the finished product, but we will have to wait until a date yet to be confirmed for the Total War: Warhammer release in 2016.
