The Bhashiva “Tiger Warriors” faction it coming to Total War Warhammer 3 next week

Tiger Warriors will arrive in Total War Warhammer III on May 21st

Creative Assembly have just announced that the Tiger Warriors are coming to Total War Warhammer III on May 21st. With the Bhashiva character pack, players will get access to the Bhashiva, The White Tiger, as a Legendary Lord alongside a suite ot Tiger Warrior units for Grand Cathay. Note that this DLC is arriving on May 21st, the same day as Warhammer’s Skulls 2026 event, and the same day as Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II.

While the Tiger Warriors are part of Grand Cathay, Bhashiva is a unique sub-faction with a distinct playstyle and custom campaign features. The “Armies of Shang-Yang” feature will allow players to bolster their armies with “Iron Favour” to create a unique and powerful battle force. Through “The Tiger Court”, players will be able to shape their faction’s identity by following one of three strategic pillars. Players can also earn relics using the “Ivory Road” and gain unique bonuses by capturing certain important sites.

The Bhashiva Character Pack introduces Bhashiva, The White Tiger, as a new playable Legendary Lord alongside a deadly company of mercenary Tiger Warrior units for the armies of Grand Cathay.

With the purchase of this Character Pack, players will also gain access to the core Grand Cathay roster if they do not already own any other associated Grand Cathay content.
