Content pack: Total War: Warhammer (core Empire roster). Immortal Empires ownership
- Warrior Priest is on the core Empire roster from the first Total War: Warhammer, the same route as Karl Franz and Balthasar Gelt. Volkmar the Grim is a Legendary Lord from The Grim and the Grave.
- Recruit the priest from the hero panel when the Empire faction lists the type. An Arch Lector is a lord who leads an army, and is a separate recruitment name.
Join an Empire army
The Warrior Priest joins an Empire army that already has a lord. Karl Franz and Balthasar Gelt are the first-game routes into that roster. Later Empire lords add their own campaigns and still share the core hero when the panel lists it.
Named heroes such as Theodore Bruckner, Emil Valgeir and Ulrika have their own unlocks. The Warrior Priest is the generic support hero. Check capacity on the hero panel before you recruit another one.
Prayers for the line
Prayer here is a call to war. Soulfire, Shield of Faith and Hammer of Sigmar are the prayers on the priest. Read each one on the unit card and use it on the troops it names.
Keep the priest with the infantry who are holding. A prayer that supports friendly troops wants those troops in the area. The guns and cavalry still need their own lanes.
Priest, wizard, or Arch Lector
An Empire wizard brings a lore of magic. A Warrior Priest brings prayers. Pick the hero whose card matches the job the army lacks.
An Arch Lector leads an army. Volkmar leads the Cult of Sigmar as a Legendary Lord. The Warrior Priest embedded in an army is the hero.
