{{DISPLAYTITLE:Legendary Lords}} [[File:kroq gar skillposter.jpg|thumb|right|400px|[[Creative Assembly]] makes promotional posters for most Legendary Lords.]] ::''Looking for something else? See our [[Lord|Lord disambiguation]] page.'' '''Legendary Lords''' or '''LLs''' are powerful individuals from [[Warhammer Fantasy]] lore. In ''[[Total War: Warhammer]]'' and its sequels, they are [[Lords]] [[File:Commander.png|20x20px]] (a type of [[character]] unit) who are playable in the [[campaign]], [[multiplayer]] and [[custom battles]]. Each campaign must be started with the player choosing a legendary lord + faction. Most legendary lords lead their own faction that is unique to them. Currently as of Total War: Warhammer II, only 5 factions have multiple LLs: [[File:Reikland.png|25px]][[Reikland]], [[File:Karaz-a-Karak.png|25px]][[Karaz-a-Karak]], [[File:Sylvania.png|25px]][[Sylvania]], [[File:Von Carstein.png|25px]][[Von Carstein]] and [[File:Warriors of Chaos.png|25px]][[Warriors of Chaos]]. During a campaign, players can also recruit other legendary lords for their race through diplomacy ([[confederation]]), completing certain objectives (especially for factions with multiple legendary lords) or other means. [[Beastmen]] can force other legendary lords to confederate with them using [[Dread]]. [[Greenskins]] and [[Norsca]] can force other legendary lords to join them by defeating them in battle. Note there is also [[unique lords]], which are different to legendary lords. ==List of legendary lords by game== Please see the following articles for full lists of legendary lords in each game: * [[Total War: Warhammer legendary lords]] * [[Total War: Warhammer II legendary lords]] * [[Total War: Warhammer III legendary lords]] ==How Legendary Lords work== ===Recruiting=== * In campaign, only one of each Legendary Lord can be recruited at a time - they are unique. For instance, there can't be two of [[Karl Franz]] on the campaign map. * When starting a campaign, players pick a [[faction]] and then a Legendary Lord to begin with. * Some factions have multiple legendary lords available. ** In this case, the player must pick one to start the campaign with and then must complete certain objectives to "unlock" his/her faction's other legendary lords for recruitment. * If a legendary lord belongs to a different faction (of the same [[race]]), the player may instead [[confederate]] that faction to gain access to the legendary lord. === Reviving === {{expand}} In some cases, legendary lords which have been indefinitely eliminated from the campaign can actually be ''revived''. The requirements to do this are different for each legendary lord in each campaign. === Skills, abilities and effects: === * Beyond being powerful units in [[battle]], they have access to unique Legendary [[items]], which are especially powerful and cannot be lost in campaign battles. ** See [[Total War: Warhammer items#Legendary items]] and [[Total War: Warhammer II items#Legendary items]]. * Each one has a unique ''skill tree'' with personalised skills and [[abilities]]. * Each LL will start the campaign with additional [[units]] in their [[army]] which are higher tier. For instance Tyrion begins with a [[Silver Helms (Shields)]], [[Ithilmar Chariot]] and [[White Lions of Chrace]]. * Each LL has their own special effects which apply if they are chosen to start the campaign. These effects may be specific to themselves, their army, or their entire faction. === Character traits: === * Legendary lords may have special unique [[character traits]] given to them. * Defeating a Legendary Lord in [[Total War: Warhammer II]] will grant a special trait to the lord that does it. Each LL grants a different trait. * See [[Legendary Lord character traits]] for more info. === Other info: === * During a campaign, when engaging in diplomacy with a playable faction, that faction will have a Legendary Lord representing them as the faction leader. * Some legendary lords require paid [[DLC]] to play as, others may be free but require the player to download them from Steam manually. * Legendary Lords will have special [[quest]] missions, which often culminate in a [[set piece battle]] and the lord gaining a legendary [[item]]. * Legendary Lords cannot permanently die (only be temporarily wounded) unless their entire faction is wiped out. ==See also== *[[Total War: Warhammer items#Legendary items]] *[[Total War: Warhammer II items#Legendary items]] *[[Legendary Lord character traits]] *[[Set piece battles]] [[Category:Characters]] [[Category:Legendary Lords]] [[Category:Legendary lord units]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Legendary_Lords}}
