Deathmaster Snikch and Malus Darkblade are coming to Total War: Warhammer 2

Total War: Warhammer 2 (which, according to this press release is still not called Total Warhammer 2) is set for a campaign pack that adds two big names from the Warhammer fantasy.

The Shadow and The Blade, due out on 12th December for Creative Assembly's wonderful strategy game priced £6.99 / $8.99 / €8.99, adds two playable factions in both the Eye of The Vortex and Mortal Empire campaigns: Clan Eshin (Skaven) and Hag Graef (Dark Elves). With them come two big names in the lore as legendary lords: Deathmaster Snikch and Malus Darkblade.

For the uninitiated, Deathmaster Snikch is the head of Clan Eshin, who are basically the assassin/ninja clan in the Warhammer lore. He's got his own model in the tabletop and while he's not one of the biggest names, he's got a cult following.
