Microtransactions

Type Notes
Cosmetic Blood for the Blood God DLC is cosmetic only, in that it adds gore effects, but if you own the same DLC for Total War: Warhammer, you do not need to rebuy it.
Finite spend Each DLC can be only bought once, putting a cap on total spend.
Unlock You get a set of races in the base game, but the remainder of the races are locked behind real-money transactions.
