It wasn’t lengthy after the discharge of the trailer for Total War: Warhammer 2’s coming DLC, the Prophet and the Warlock, that followers observed its clear inspiration: the scene within the iconic ’80s motion film Predator by which a panicked Mac Eliot takes a minigun to the Val Verdean jungle.
What you might not have observed is simply how intently the trailer matches the supply materials. It’s not simply concerning the ratling gunner who fires blindly into the forest – it’s just about shot-for-shot, because the side-by-side comparability beneath demonstrates. There’s a Skaven who stands in for Blain Cooper, the unique wielder of the minigun (aka, Old Painless), and a skink who doubles for the Predator who slays him.
Ikit Claw, one of many two stars of the DLC, is Schwarzenegger’s Major ‘Dutch’ Schaefer, and a trio of Jezzail sniper groups substitute the opposite mercenaries in his crew. The trailer solely differs from the film when a Lizardmen military emerges from the jungle, led by the red-crested skink and Prophet of Sotek, Tehenhauin, atop a Stegadon. That would’ve been a really completely different film.

It’s a superb showcase for the DLC’s new models, mainly the ratling gunner who stars, but in addition the Jezzails and the Doomflayers (the scythed motorbikes). On the Lizardmen facet, the Salamanders (vivid orange lizards) and Ripperdactyls (sharp-beaked flying dinosaurs) are additionally welcome additions. Wonder how they’d fare towards the Predator – absolutely that’s a mod ready to occur.
