Creative Assembly's fastest selling game in its "Total War" video game franchise, "Total War: Warhammer," is now set to receive yet another sizable downloadable content (DLC) pack titled "The King and The Warlord" next week.

The brand new DLC expansion will reportedly introduce several new gameplay elements along with two new legendary lords for players to control.

The new DLC expansion pack — which is the second DLC to come out after the "Grim and Grave" DLC — will be letting players control one new legendary boss for the Dwarves and one new legendary boss for the Greenskins. The new lords are Belagar Ironhammer for the Dwarves, and the warlord Skarsnik for the Crooked Moon Greenskin tribe.

Both lords are well known within larger "Warhammer" universe and are actually bitter rivals who have been fighting for control over the Eight Peaks for quite a long time.

Each of the bosses has been revealed to be coming with their out unique set of abilities as well as new build trees. Ironhammer, on one hand, will be able to summon the spirits of his ancestors who will fight beside him for a limited time. He also comes with a new ranger barracks that will let players train Bugman's Ranger units.

Meanwhile, Skarsnik will be accompanied by a Goblin Big Boss companion and a Giant Cave Squig Gobbla at the start of the campaign. Along with the new lord, Greenskin players will also be able to build Squig Cages which will allow them to train Squigs for battle.

Aside from the two lords and new buildings, the DLC expansion pack will be coming with new quest chains, six new battlefield units, 22 elite Regiments of Renown, new magic items, and new starting locations.
