Total War: Warhammer 2 – The Prophet and the Warlock review

Total War: Warhammer’s smaller-scale Legendary Lord packs have always been about rivalries, but few are as thematically appropriate as The Prophet and the Warlock. The Skaven weaponsmith Ikit Claw represents science in its most negative form: amoral and recklessly experimental. The Lizardmen prophet Tehenhauin, by contrast, is an emissary of the serpent god Sotek, and represents magic and religion. Tehenhauin’s campaign in particular leans in to this rivalry. Most of this rare red-crested skink’s kin were wiped out by a Skaven plague, along with his city of Chaqua. This prompted a bitter hatred of the ratmen which Tehenhauin’s campaign mechanics reflect. His overarching goal is to manifest his god in the world, which you’ll do by carrying out the Prophecy of Sotek. The prophecy is in three stages. You progress from one to the next by owning territory and sacrificing captives to Sotek, which you can capture after winning battles - though this does undermine the other two post-battle options, making it a less interesting choice. Sacrifices are arranged in six tiers and can unlock Regiments of Renown, as well as temporary buffs or randomly-generated items.
