===Races=== The game features four different playable [[Fantasy tropes and conventions#Sentient "races"|races]] from the Warhammer game, and the units available to each race are taken straight from the tabletop wargame. All the races are visually distinctive, and have their own unique units, although there is a lot of crossover between factions and each type of unit will usually have an equivalent unit in another race. Within in each race there are also 3 different factions, which are available to be used in multiplayer games. However beyond cosmetic differences, and the selection of troops there is minimal difference between the 3 factions. [[The Empire (Warhammer)|The Empire]] is a vast human empire which resembles [[Holy Roman Empire|medieval Germany]] in its looks and organisation. Their forces are primarily human soldiers of various specialties. In addition they are, along with the Dwarves, one of the few races who have developed [[gunpowder|black powder]] weaponry, and have access to handguns, cannons, and other gunpowder based siege weapons. The 3 playable factions are the ''Ostermark'', ''Nuln'' and ''Talabecland'' armies.<ref name="empireinfo">{{cite web | url = http://www.markofchaos.com/empire.php | title = Races - Empire | work = Namco Bandai | accessdate = June 8, 2007 }}</ref> The [[High Elves (Warhammer)|High Elves]] are an ancient and elegant race. In addition to their normal ranks of elven spearmen and archers, they have a considerable number of elite troops, and an above average number of magical specialists. The 3 playable factions are the ''Ellyrian'', ''Shadowlands'' and ''Saphery'' kingdoms.<ref name="elvesinfo">{{cite web | url = http://www.markofchaos.com/high_elves.php | title = Races - High Elves | work = Namco Bandai | accessdate = June 8, 2007 }}</ref> The [[Hordes of Chaos]] are Humans from the Northlands, corrupted by the gods of [[Chaos (Warhammer)|Chaos]] by their ambition, lust or the other base instincts and emotions of humanity. In addition to human warriors and [[Marauders]] they also have access to supernatural creatures such as Daemons and Spawns of Chaos. The 3 playable factions are the cults of the chaos gods ''[[Chaos (Warhammer)#Nurgle|Nurgle]]'', ''[[Chaos Daemons#Khorne|Khorne]]'' and the pantheon ''Chaos Undivided.''<ref name="chaosinfo">{{cite web | url = http://www.markofchaos.com/chaos.php | title = Races - Chaos | work = Namco Bandai | accessdate = June 8, 2007 }}</ref> The [[Skaven]] are a race of subterranean man sized [[rat]]s. Though as individuals they are weaker than members of the other races, they compensate through vastly superior numbers. In addition they utilise a mineral called ''warpstone'' to mutate members of their race to create giant rats and rat ogres. The 3 playable factions are the ''Eshin'', ''Skryre'' and ''Warlord'' clans.<ref name="skaveninfo">{{cite web | url = http://www.markofchaos.com/skaven.php | title = Races - Skaven | work = Namco Bandai | accessdate = June 8, 2007 }}</ref> In addition to the four playable races there are also additional races that serve as both additional enemies in the single player campaigns and also as [[mercenary]] "Dogs of War" units available at certain points in the single player campaign, and also as additional choices in multiplayer games. The available mercenary races are [[Orcs and Goblins|Greenskins]] and [[Dwarf (Warhammer)|Dwarves]]. The [[Vampire Counts]] are also present in the single player campaign, however are not available to be used by the player.
