Warhammer is a game about little plastic Orcs fighting little plastic Dwarfs, but let's be honest: for some people, it's mostly a game of lovingly painting and customizing little plastic Orcs and little plastic Dwarfs, then putting them back on the shelf. It's only fitting that Total War: Warhammer would have a thriving mod scene months after release, with hundreds of mods out there for customizing units in true tabletop fashion.

Of course, there are also mods for tweaking the rules of war and telling Chaos to hold its damn horses for a minute so you can get ready for the End Times.The point is, there are a ton of great Total War: Warhammer mods, and we've updated our guide with the best of them. The following are available via and new mods are being uploaded there all the time, so keep an eye out.In the Total War: Warhammer mod manager you'll see some mods have an exclamation mark signifying that they're “out-of-date”.

This means they haven't been updated since the game's most recent expansion but doesn't necessarily indicate a conflict. Have a look at the comments on the Steam Workshop to see if these mods still work, then check the “enable out-of-date mods” box to continue using them. The main actual conflicts occur between mods that alter starting positions in the campaign or add new factions. Bigger overhauls also cause a lot of conflicts, but Total War: Warhammer is easy to tweak with a personalized selection of individual mods like the following.Page 1: New unitsPage 2:Page 3:Page 4: New units Closer to TabletopIf you want some extra units that fit the official Warhammer background, Closer To Tabletop adds several. It includes Dwarf Dragon Slayers, Reiksguard footsoldiers, and the Imperial Flagellants.

Remember those guys from the movie Jabberwocky who were really into whipping themselves? Now you can field units of them.

It also tweaks a few rules relating to units, such as giving Steam Tanks magic resistance and increasing the morale bonus enjoyed by Stubborn troops. Modular Factions - UnlockerIf you're curious about the Old World's smaller states like the French vampires of Mousillon or the Renaissance Italians of the Tilean City States, this makes them playable in the grand campaign. See how things look from the NPCs' side, complete with their own tech trees and legendary leaders.

Modder Lokerian has also cooked up complimentary mods like the and which add new units, buildings, items, and so on to make these factions as flavorful as the main ones. The Southern RealmsAnother mod that's compatible with Modular Factions is The Southern Realms, which significantly expands the Border Princes, Estalia, and Tilea, rounding out their armies with units like Border Rangers and Sartosan Pirates as well as new Heroes.

Normally these factions seem like reskinned versions of the Empire, but once modded they feel unique. Southern HordesIn tabletop Warhammer the Orcs and Goblins have a diverse roster full of weird creatures like tiny Snotlings and the bouncy Squigs, which are basically space hoppers with fangs. Southern Hordes rounds out the Greenskins with units like these as well as Stone Trolls, Spider Swarms, Savage Giants and more. It's such a significant addition it's likely to crash your campaign but it works fine in custom battles. All Tabletop LordsA growing mod that aims to eventually add new Lords based on every possible general available in the wargame, All Tabletop Lords adds characters like the Lahmian Countess, Light Wizard Lord, Daemon Slayer, and Savage Orc Warboss. It's fully compatible with the Call of the Beastmen expansion, so now the Doombull and three new Shaman Lords can lead their stacks.

You'll need to start a new save for this mod to work.Goblins (Swords and Axes) and Skeleton Warriors (Scythes)andThe board game HeroQuest introduced lots of kids to Warhammer, and if you have fond memories of its Goblins and Skeleton Warrior miniatures then this pair of mods recreates them. They also add new loading screen art and quotes from the board game. Those Skeletons look pretty intimidating with long-handled scythes. Vampire Counts: Human Levies and Additional Vampire Counts UnitsandThere are humans who live in the cursed land of Sylvania as well as undead, because somebody has to sweep the floors in all those brooding gothic castles.

The Human Levies mod lets you field units of those poor peasants, mortals with swords or spears as well as hunters with bows, giving the undead their first ranged weapons. You're limited to a maximum of two units of archers to prevent them from being too unbalancing. The Additional Vampire Counts Units mod is similar, but adds crossbows and powerful halberdiers if you're less worried about balance. Chaos Dwarf Warrior UnitsYou'll need the Warriors of Chaos DLC to use this one. In an unmodded game the heavy metal berserkers of Chaos keep Dwarfs around to look after the artillery, but with this they can field entire units of the angry bearded chaps – some with horns and others with ace pointy Babylonian helmets. They carry burning brands for their fire attacks and have high stats, but are costly and need to be recruited via a new building called the Tower of Darkness. Bugman Thrower UnitYou'll need The King and the Warlord DLC for this one, which gives the Dwarfs yet another artillery unit, albeit one with a twist.

It launches burning barrels of Bugman's Brew, and though it's not an accurate weapon when it does hit the damage can be significant. It also buffs the Dwarfs around it, who can't be stopped from taking cheeky sips even if the stuff they're drinking is highly explosive. Ogre LeadbelchersThe Imperials get a new unit in the chubby shape of the Ogre Leadbelchers, mercenaries who give the expression “handcannon” new meaning by lugging around actual cannon barrels to fire at the enemy. They're slow to shoot, but effective when they do. Screaming Skull CatapultsGiving artillery to the Vampire Counts may not be great for game balance but they certainly look cool. These bone contraptions launch screaming skulls, and even the skeletons who crew them flinch and cover their earholes at the noise.

You’re playing Total War: Warhammer, but wondering whether it could be tweaked, amended, or, some might say, modded, in various ways. Perhaps you wish the camera could move a little bit higher, or that enemy agents would just leave you alone for five minutes. Maybe you’d like an increased unit roster, or the ability to conquer any region you choose.All of these things, plus quite a few more, are possible with existing mods. I’ve tried out a few from the Steam Workshop (and trusted other people’s judgment on others) to compile this list of the very best. As always with Steam Workshop mods, getting these installed is as straightforward as subscribing to the mod from the relevant page. I’d suggest starting a fresh save for the vast majority of these mods, even if they indicate compatibility mid-save.I’ll be trying to keep this page updated semi-regularly, but (sadly) not all of my time can be devoted to playing Total War: Warhammer and fiddling with mods.

Suggestions for other inclusions always welcome in the comments. Updates and patches may eventually invalidate or render some of the selections unnecessary.For more on Total War: Warhammer, you can read to some lesser-known formation controls, or the.Last updated: 17 June, 2016 – Added ‘Better Autoresolve’.Quality of Life Modsby kam2150As the name implies, this gives you some improved camera functionality in Total War: Warhammer. It’ll allow you to climb higher and zoom in lower than the default cam (though be aware that zooming too low with this will result in clipping through the ground a bit), and includes a couple of handy hotkeys for turning off the UI and getting ‘cinematic’ views.by ZarkisSick of the autoresolve deciding that all your large creatures and small units are going to take loads of damage? This work-in-progress mod aims to rectify that imbalance.

Also lowers the power of ranged units in autoresolve, and buffs siege defenders. Note that this will “not be fully compatible with mods that change the unit stats of a number of monster units (landunitstables)”.by KanasarA firm favourite among those who get tired of enemy agents showing up at absurd levels and stabbing every allied general in sight. It prevents enemy agents from performing any aggressive actions, while still letting the player’s agents act as normal.

As the author himself says, this can make things a bit easy, but until there’s a balance pass on agents you may well decide it’s worth it.by Chugger UggersIf you’d prefer a more nuanced approach to rebalancing agents, this is the mod to go for. It won’t outright remove the AI’s ability to take actions with agents, but instead reduces the chances of the same aggressive actions being taken successfully over and over again.

Characters get a buff to the ‘on guard’ mechanic, settlements also receive a protective buff following a successive agent attack, and all agents get a small debuff after a successive action. Affects player and AI alike.by DresdenIncreases army movement in home regions by 10%, which effectively means that trespassing armies who are attempting to flee will have a much harder time doing so. Can help prevent those awkward situations where you’re having to chase a ruined stack of foes across half the map because they’re always two pixels ahead of you.

Affects both player and AI armies (everyone gets the boost). Doesn’t work for the Chaos faction, as they have no home regions. There’s also a version that offers a.by PrometheusGives characters more skill points at every level-up so you can really go to town on those skill trees.

Legendary Lords (and regular Lords) get double skill points at level 10 and beyond. Other characters get double skill points every five levels. Affects players and AI, so all the heroes across the land will be buffed out.

Feature Overhaulsby RadiousTotal War players will probably be familiar with this long-running series. Radious’ overhauls are worth a look if you’re after some fairly radical rebalancing. Namely: “big changes in campaign AI, diplomacy, land battles, reworking abilities, spells, magic, changes buildings, re-balances all unit stats and costs, reworks experience system and much more.” Predominantly, the reduced upkeep costs across the board, and heavily boosted morale, will see you fighting far more battles (for longer, because many fight to the bitter end) in your campaigns.by MadJonatUnlocks a variety of factions for use in Total War: Warhammer’s campaign and custom battle modes.

Lets you play as minor powers like Varg, Necksnappers, Mousillon and Bretonnia (though Bretonnia have to use the Orc tech tree for now).by DresdenRemoves all faction-based restrictions on which areas of the map can be settled and colonised, so any faction can take any territory (like prior Total War games, basically). Also enables all factions to confederate. There’s a known bug with Norse Sparring Fields at present, which the author says will be fixed after the next official game patch.by ZarkisAmends public order to have an impact on the tax rate generated in a region. Keeping your citizens cheerful will result in them filling your coffers with more gold (and, likewise, miserable regions won’t pay up very much). Only works for factions who can own provinces (for obvious reasons), and will affect both player and AI powers. New Units (Cosmetic and Non-Cosmetic)by IlluminatiRexUses Total War: Warhammer’s hero models to add neat (and purely cosmetic) commanding officers to the majority of units, giving them a bit more battle flavour.by Prime Minister SinisterA lot of brand new units (with new unit stats) for the Empire faction, pulled from the Warhammer rosters.

Tabletop classics like dismounted Reiksguard and the Knights Panther can now be recruited to your ranks. Keep in mind that the author says this mod is “just for fun” and that it pretty much makes the Empire obscenely strong.by Prime Minister SinisterThe purely cosmetic companion piece to the mod above, by the same author. Adds new equipment and colourful flair to the Empire soldiers.by Zaskar70The ever-popular undead Blood Knights from the Warhammer fiction. According to the mod blurb, these guys should be a little bit tougher than Bretonnian Grail Knights. Late game and expensive recruits, then.by NimueA little more cosmetic visual style for the warriors of chaos.

Chosen will have more varied helmets and shields, Chosen and Knights will have a mix of swords and axes, and capes all round.by Gauloisier de la GauloiserieAs the title implies, switches out the default dwarf shields for some new golden and silver ones. Purely cosmetic.by GPMAdds more variety to the Dwarf Slayers unit. Some of the lads now wear trousers and boots with this mod.by StrangeAK47Black Orcs should wear black armour, right? With this mod, they now can and will.
