Magnus Groth-Andersen 30 June 2016

Blood for the Blood God is the first official paid-for DLC for Total War: Warhammer and it adds a splash of the red stuff to the strategy game from Creative Assembly and Sega.

The expansion adds more gory graphics to the game, as well as a new foe, the Blood God. It also includes "all-new events, particle effects, dismemberments, and gory, gib-spattered deaths will serve to bring your gameplay to untold heights of gruesomeness."

"Cower as giants chew the heads off hapless soldiers, trolls rip their foes limb from lifeless limb, and the scything tails of dragons tear through units in an explosion of blood and guts. Brand new campaign events serve to encourage slaughter across the world, all to the laughter and delight of The Blood God. Dedicate your wars to him, and bathe the world in crimson!</i>

The DLC also brings with it the first patch of significance, you can read up about the update here, although the main changes include "unit rebalancing, numerous technical and gameplay improvements to the game. Also included in the patch are the new Vampire Counts' cavalry unit: Blood Knights, free for all players."
