History YMMV / TotalWarWarhammer

** The announcement that the game will have modding support, despite initial claims that ''Total War: Warhammer'' would have none. In particular, the devs are allowing for and aiding in a mod that will remove the controversial Regional Occupation system.

* SceneryPorn: Visually speaking the game looks stunning, both in battle and on the campaign map.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EIkvHD7MU8 Recently]], the developers have announced that, due to the major backlash, the Warriors of Chaos will be free for the whole week to those who have purchased the game. This has been met positively with fans, as it allows them to wait a day or two after the game's release for Let's Plays and reviews to show up to see if the game is really worth buying, then still be able to get one of the setting's core factions for free.

* BaseBreaker: Whilst a large amount of people are happy for a Total War set in the Warhammer Fantasy Universe, there are those who are upset that Creative Assembly is making a game that is not based in a historical setting (even though its been stated that a separate team is indeed working on a historical themed Total War). This mostly died down by this point though.

** It's not only that, a lot of Total War fans are getting ''tired'' of the ''people who are disliking the DLC'', claiming it's become an "Anti-CA circle jerk". Go on the Total War sub Reddit, and ''try'' mentioning starting a petition, and expect a massive FlameWar.

* FranchiseZombie: On the forefront of the downward trajectory the franchise has been establishing over the past few years[[note]]And by that, do you mean ''Total War'' or ''Warhammer''?[[/note]], Warhammer is at the very least planned to continue the controversial business practises now associated with the Total War series. The entire Chaos faction has been pulled from the base game and is being sold separately and offered as a pre-order bonus. The video announcing this news on the official Creative Assembly Youtube channel has FIFTEEN times as many dislikes as likes, and has incurred the wrath of many popular figures and media outlets. There are campaigns to boycott the game and series.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Most players were not impressed with some of the factions unit rosters (most particularly the Empire), believing they were lacking and that more units from the table top should be added. For instance, players complained about the Dwarves lacking a Rune Priest, or the Empire lacking some of the Knightly Orders and light cavalry. However, an Instagram video showcasing a Bright Wizard confirms that the current unit rosters we have seen were not complete, and there will be more units to come (CA even confirmed that they will re-organize the unit roster eventually).

** The inability for players to conquer the entire map due to lore reasons.

* InternetBackdraft: The decision to make Chaos, a core army and one of the most important factions in the setting, as a pre-order race has been negatively received. To the point that the reveal trailer is over 30,000 dislikes, and will likely continue to grow past that number. Not only that, any new video uploaded on Creative Assembly's Youtube channel since the DLC reveal trailer has been getting thousands of dislikes to the point there are more dislikes than likes!
