Creative Assembly have released a new gameplay trailer for Total War: Warhammer III, focusing on Festus the Leechlord’s campaign and mechanics.

Festus the Leechlord is one of the 4 new Legendary Lords being added in Total War: Warhammer III‘s upcoming Champions of Chaos DLC pack. This once respected doctor has devoted himself to Nurgle, gaining the Lord of Fly’s favor due to his extensive knowledge of plagues and diseases. Now, Festus uses his skills to create virulent new poxes so he can spread Grandfather’s love all across the Old World.

You can see some campaign gameplay for Festus the Leechlord in the trailer below.

You can find a rundown (via Steam) below:

THE WORLD TEETERS ON THE BRINK OF CHAOS
The last roar of a dying god ruptures the boundary between worlds, opening a portal to the Realm of Chaos. From this maelstrom, the four Ruinous Powers – Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh – emerge, spreading darkness and despair.

The stern warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay stand at the threshold, as a vengeful Daemon Prince vows to destroy those who corrupted him. The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command them?
