Immortal Empires may have turned Total War:Warhammer3 into one of thebest grand strategy games of all time, but that doesn’t mean there’s no more room for improvement. Modders have been working tirelessly to improve and expand the game even before the launch of Immortal Empires, and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not checking out at least some of their creations. As it happens, a lot of the best Warhammer 3 mods can be found on the list down below.

Updated by Jason Moth on August 20, 2025:We’ve updated this article to include five more mods for you to try on Warhammer 3 Immortal. We also added more links to improve the navigation a little easier.
15Better Camera Mod
This first one is a classic. Better Camera Mod has been around for ages and was one of the first mods to be ported over to Warhammer 3 from its predecessor. Just as its name suggests, the mod makes the in-game camera better, specifically during battles. With this mod installed, you’ll be able to zoom in and zoom out much farther than before, as well as take better screenshots.
Better Camera Mod comes with a couple of neat features that are indispensable to players who love making battle montages or taking epic screenshots. You can turn off the UI by simply pressing “K” while pressing “Alt +K,” which will turn on the cinematic view. There’s also a command that lets you zoom in as much as you want without having to worry about disappearing units. Better Camera Mod is extremely lightweight and should be compatible with absolutely everything.
14Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords
Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords is a fantastic mod that changes Warhammer 3 in a major way. Normally, when AI-controlled factions get destroyed, their Legendary Lords go with them, and there’s no way to bring them back. Well, now there is because this mod gives you the option to have theLegendary Lordsjoin your faction. However, this only works with characters pertaining to the same race. For instance, you can’t recruit Settra as Karl Franz, but you can recruit other Empire lords like Balthasar or Volkmar.
The catch is that if you refuse to let defeated Legendary Lords join your faction, they will offer to join AI-controlled factions instead. In spite of its name, the mod also lets you recruit leaders of minor factions, even if they’re not technicallyLegendaryLords. Defeated Legendary Heroes will be available for recruitment as well. Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords can drastically change the game’s balance, so just keep that in mind before you install this mod.
13Legendary Characters
The developers put in a lot of work into creating dozens upon dozens of Legendary Lords, but they definitely skimped out on the Legendary Heroes. Aside from Lord Kroak, the ironic duo comprised of Gotrek and Felix, the Green Knight, and maybe Krell, most of the other Legendary Heroes in Immortal Empires are not very interesting, which is why this mod is a must-have.
Legendary Characters adds close to 40 new heroes to the game, scattered across a variety of factions. These aren’t just mere reskins, mind you, as every Legendary Hero comes with a unique appearance and battle card. Granted, some of the models do look very similar to the vanilla characters they were based on, but there is still enough variety here to keep things interesting. Besides, these new Legendary Heroes also come with special skills and abilities, so it’s not all about the looks.
12Building Progression Icons III
Building Progression Icons III makes small but nevertheless noticeable changes to building chain icons. Most buildings now have unique icons that reflect their tier within the chain. The mod introduces new artwork that becomes increasingly more elaborate with every new building you construct. The icons are mostly derived from original assets, but there are a few pieces of original artwork included as well.

Building Progression Icons III is a purely cosmetic mod that doesn’t affect gameplay. A lot of building chains have already been updated, but there are still a few that only have vanilla icons. This mod is a work in progress, so expect the remaining icons to be gradually updated over time.
11Unique Faction Currencies
Unique Faction Currencies is another mod that makes small but noticeable changes to the game. By default, almost every race in Warhammer 3 uses gold as its currency, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense lore-wise. Why would the Wood Elves or the Greenskins care about gold? Thanks to this mod, they don’t, and now most races have their unique forms of currency, similar to the Vampire Counts.
It’s important to note that Unique Faction Currencies don’t make any actual changes to the game’s economy. Instead, it simply changes currency and reward chest icons to something more appropriate and lore-friendly. Instead of gold, the Skaven now uses Warpstone Tokes as currency, while the Tomb Kings use Souls. Unique Faction Currencies currently add a dozen new forms of currencies, with even more to come sometime in the near future.
10Reloading Animations
Creative Assemblyput a lot of time and effort into making Warhammer 3’s units as detailed as possible, but the developers still have a lot of work to do when it comes to the animations. For instance, a lot of ranged units stand around doing nothing in-between volleys because they don’t have to reload animations. Luckily, you can easily fix that by installing Reloading Animations. The mod does exactly what it says on the tin and gives a bunch of ranged units much-needed reloading animations.
The mod isn’t complete just yet, but it already adds new animations to a bunch of units, including Kislev Streltsi, Free Company Militia, Empire Handgunners, Dwarf Thunderers, and more. Expect additional animations will be added over time. It’s worth noting that the new animations don’t have a negative impact on the balance since they don’t affect the firing speed of units.
9Custom Matched Combat Animations
This is an incredible mod for anyone who loves playing Immortal Empires battles in slow motion in order to admire the game’s detailed combat animations and sync kills. Even though the game already offers a lot of amazing animations, there’s certainly room for even more of them, and that’s exactly what you’re getting when installing this mod.

Custom Matches Combat Animations adds custom animations, and sync kills to everything ranging from rank-and-fileinfantry unitslike Greatswords and Spearmen to Legendary Lords, heroes, and more. Most of the animations are short and sweet so as not to disrupt the flow of combat. According to the mod authors, matched combat animations are limited to 100 in Warhammer 3, hence why some of the vanilla animations had to be removed to make room for new ones.
8Details Matter: Collection
Details Matter: Collection is a compilation of smaller mods designed to make Total War: Warhammer 3 even more detailed than it already was. All the mods included in this collection can be downloaded individually, but there’s no reason not to grab all of them at once since they’re very small and don’t conflict with each other or most other mods.
The main focus of this mod series is to add quivers, ammo pouches, and other types of containers and holsters for ranged units that don’t have them by default. Most ranged units in Immortal Empires pull arrows, bolts, and other projectiles from thin air before firing them, and while this design oversight is easy to miss in the thick of battle, it’s definitely noticeable once you zoom in. Details Matter: Collection fixes that and is routinely being updated to include more and more units.
7Immortal Landmarks
Landmarks are unique buildings that provide powerful bonuses, so it’s a shame that Warhammer 3 has so few of them. The good news is that you’re able to add a bunch more by simply installing Immortal Landmarks. True to its name, the mod introduces a wide variety of new landmarks to Immortal Empires, many of which are way more interesting than the ones created by the developers.
You’re looking at around 150 new landmarks complete with custom artwork, lore-friendly flavor text, and map icons. Landmark bonuses range from generic +5 morale to infantry units to unique quest battles, dilemmas, powerful items, and more. Some new landmarks are a bit overpowered, but they also cost a ton of money to build, so it all evens out.
6Improved Item Fusion
Total War: Warhammer 3 introduced a system that allows players to obtain new items by fusing together pieces of gear of lower rarity. Improved Item Fusion simply expands that system by enabling it to produce purple and gold quality items. That’s right, you can finally do something with all those extra blue items you have lying around.

The mod takes things one step further by also allowing players to combine banners and followers of the same type. Another interesting feature of Improved Item Fusion is that it makes it possible to steal quest items from other Legendary Lords. On the flip side, your own quest items can be stolen as well.
