Press play above to see the first in-engine video for Total War: Warhammer. The gameplay trailer shows off the same massive battle Polygon saw at E3 2015. For more on the game, which includes thousands of virtual troops fighting in real-time and reminded us an awful lot of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, be sure to read our impressions and interview with Simon Mann, a battle designer at The Creative Assembly.
