Vashnaar's Conquest Total War Warhammer

The heraldry of the mixed Warriors of Chaos and Dark Elves rogue army known as Vashnaar's Conquest commanded by Vashnarr the Tormentor, as depicted in Total War: Warhammer II.[5]

Vashnaar the Tormentor was a Chaos Lord who led a terrible attack on Lustria.[3a][4a]

History[]

Vashnaar's exploits before he decided in 2521 IC to assault Lustria are unknown. What is known is that he sought to sacrifice the heart of a Slann to his patron.[3a]

Riding a Black Dragon, Vashnaar led a vast horde of Chaos Marauders through the Forest of Vipers north of Hexoatl, aided by mercenary Dark Elves that scouted ahead.[2a][4a]

When the defenders of the Temple-City noticed him, it was almost too late. Tiktaq'to, Master of Skies, mustered the defenses and managed to hold Vashnaar off for sixty-three days, although with a heavy toll as Vashnaar's hordes outnumbered the defenders.[2a][4a]

In the end, Vashnaar was defeated when Kroq-Gar and Mazdamundi returned from their travels to Albion.[1a] He was slain by Kroq-Gar, who displayed his severed head on the saddle of his mount.[2a][4a]

Trivia[]

Total War: Warhammer II depicts Vashnaar as a Dark Elf Dreadlord leading the rogue army "Vashnaar's Conquest," with a mixed roster of Druchii and Warriors of Chaos units.[5]
