The Prophet and The Warlock Will Add Salamanders for the Lizardmen
The Prophet and The Warlock is the next big Lord pack for Total War: Warhammer 2; a DLC which will bring a major expansion to both the Lizardmen and Skaven races. In addition to adding two new Lords, the DLC is bringing a host of new units to both factions. In their latest preview trailer, Creative Assembly shows off the Salamanders; powerful reptilian monsters with fiery spit which are joining the Lizardmen roster.
Salamanders and Ancient Salamanders in The Prophet and The Warlock
“Stalking through the swamplands of the Lustrian jungle is the salamander,” describes the new trailer; “a giant, predatory lizard. Salamanders are natural hunters with a flaming spit attack to burn their victims from a distance. With their swift, musclebound legs and powerful swishing tails, they can move rapidly on both land and through water to close in on their unsuspecting prey.”
There are two types of Salamander coming in The Prophet and The Warlock. The first is the Salamander Hunting Pack; a whole unit of the large and ravenous reptiles. These beasts are ferocious in close combat and to make matters worse, they can unleash globs of flaming spit at range, acting almost like short range artillery weapons. The more dangerous variant of this creature, however, is the Ancient Salamander. This huge beast is a single powerful monster; “Twice the size and far more vicious than its cousins” continues Creative Assembly; “with fiery breath and monstrous jaws to snatch up what’s left.”
Salamanders are just a couple of the new units coming to Total War: Warhammer 2 in The Prophet and The Warlock, however. Fans will get to see much more in the next couple of weeks, as Creative Assembly is planning to live-stream DLC gameplay very soon.
