WH1 and WH2 lords in Immortal Empires
The game number on a lord’s original release is not a limit on Immortal Empires. Karl Franz and Balthasar Gelt have a Warhammer I base-game route; Tyrion and Teclis have a Warhammer II route.

A DLC route into a race unlocks the leaders associated with that pack and eligible Free-LC. It does not substitute for every other paid lord. For example, The Warden and the Paunch supplies Eltharion and Grom the Paunch, rather than the full paid High Elf and Greenskin collections.
Free-LC and campaign selection
Free-LC usually follows ownership of the relevant race. Imrik is a High Elf Legendary Lord, so a qualifying High Elf game or DLC route can make him available. Bretonnia is the exception to needing a paid race route: its free campaigns are available to players with Immortal Empires access.
A selectable Legendary Lord starts a faction’s campaign. A Legendary Hero joins an existing faction instead. Owning the right content and completing an in-campaign recruitment condition are separate steps; check which kind of character you are trying to use.

Lizardmen and Skaven
Total War: Warhammer II unlocks Lord Mazdamundi, Kroq-Gar, Queek Headtaker, and Lord Skrolk. The Prophet and the Warlock unlocks Tehenhauin and Ikit Claw. The Hunter and the Beast unlocks Nakai the Wanderer. The Silence and the Fury unlocks Oxyotl. The Shadow and the Blade unlocks Deathmaster Snikch. The Twisted and the Twilight unlocks Throt the Unclean. Thanquol — Lords of the End Times unlocks Thanquol and is an Immortal Empires entry point. Gor-Rok and Tiktaq'to are Lizardmen Free-LC. Tretch Craventail is Skaven Free-LC.
Each of these lords has a lore page. Queek's war for Karak Eight Peaks runs through Headtaker, Thorgrim, the Warlords omnibus, and The Rise of the Horned Rat. Thanquol's novels are Grey Seer, Temple of the Serpent, and Thanquol's Doom, with Skavenslayer the earlier Gotrek and Felix meeting and Mind-Stealer the short story. Temple of the Serpent is the book that sends him after the Prophet of Sotek. The other lords in this cluster are told from the studio articles.
Check the lord and the pack together
A base game unlocks its included lords. A DLC pack unlocks its associated lords, including those first released for Warhammer I or II. Owning one lord from a race does not grant every paid lord in that race.
An in-campaign recruitment condition is a separate step from owning the content. Select Immortal Empires in the campaign menu when checking availability: a story campaign can use different objectives and surroundings for the same character.
What this index lists
This index lists published playable Legendary Lords. A lore link is included when a lore page is published. Legendary Heroes are on the Heroes page.
Undead Legions
Nagash leads the Host of Nagash for the Undead Legions, from the Black Pyramid. His campaign is the Nagash – Lords of the End Times pack. The faction page remains the race overview, and the lore page keeps the Nehekharan background apart from the campaign.
Mono-god Chaos and the Daemon Prince
Khorne’s three campaigns share a melee roster and split the job. Skarbrand comes with the base game, an exiled Bloodthirster who does not fly. Skulltaker’s paid Omens of Destruction campaign hunts lords for the Cloak of Skulls. Arbaal, free with update 6.0, travels to Challenges of Khorne.
Ku'gath is the base-game Nurgle lord and brews plagues for the Poxmakers. Tamurkhan’s Thrones of Decay campaign gathers chieftains for the Maggot Host. Epidemius is the free Tallyman from patch 5.0. His power tracks plagues on other factions.
Kairos is the base-game Tzeentch spellcaster. The Changeling, from Shadows of Change, uses cults and Schemes instead of a conventional province war. N'Kari is the base-game Keeper of Secrets. Dechala’s Tides of Torment campaign spends Thralls. The Masque is the free dancer from Update 7.0.
The Daemon Prince is the base-game Daemons of Chaos lord. His body comes from gifts. That customisation is separate from Be'lakor’s Shadow Legion and from other lords who ascend inside their own campaigns.
Warriors of Chaos, Beastmen, and Norsca
The Chaos Warriors Race Pack unlocks Archaon, Kholek, and Sigvald. Champions of Chaos adds Azazel, Festus, Valkia, and Vilitch. Be'lakor comes with the base game. The Glottkin are a separate Lords of the End Times lord. Update 9.0 lets Archaon subjugate the other Warriors lords after a defeat, and it moves Sigvald onto a Slaanesh focus beside Azazel.
Call of the Beastmen unlocks Khazrak, Malagor, and Morghur. The Silence & The Fury unlocks Taurox and does not include the other three. Khazrak ambushes, Malagor flies and casts, Morghur leans on Spawn, and Taurox chains battles with Rampage.
The Norsca pack unlocks Wulfrik and Throgg. Sayl – Tides of Torment unlocks the Dolgan sorcerer. Wulfrik hunts champions by sea, Throgg spends Trollkind, and Sayl's Manipulations are the lies that broke Schalkain's ritual.
Legendary Heroes beside the lords
A Legendary Hero joins a faction you already play. Ulrika is Free-LC, with routes in Kislev, the Empire, Malakai's campaign, and Neferata's technology. Her novels are Daemonslayer, Dragonslayer, and Vampireslayer in the Gotrek & Felix sequence, then Nathan Long's Bloodborn, Bloodforged, and Bloodsworn.
The other heroes linked here come in with a lord pack or a free update: Naryska and Saytang and the Blue Scribes with Shadows of Change, Karanak and Aekold and Harald as free heroes, Skarr and Scyla and Snagla with Omens of Destruction, Kayzk and Theodore and Garagrim with Thrones of Decay, Gutrot and Skreech with Lords of the End Times, Gorduz with Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, Beorg and Caradryan with Tides of Torment. Each one keeps the lord of that pack on the select screen.
