I think that I can comfortably say that this, and Total Warhammer 2, are the games that we dreamed of when we first started collecting GW figures. The battles we fight in-game are the battles we wish to have fought with our figures.

But in reality, the tabletop games could never match our expectations. I couldn't paint to the necessary level, I could not afford enough figures. Total War removes those problems.

But it makes me wonder, is it possible to redo the unit textures to more closely match the table top games?

Can we have the units that the tabletop games gave us? Can we have units where half the regiment is bare metal or plastic? Or those regiments where the owner has just primed them grey and never bothered to continue. Orcs that are brown because "they are more like Tolkien's that way"? And units painted so badly that their armour colours overrun onto their skin?

Can we have battles where a coffee cup smashes into a unit of spearmen because both sides have agreed that it is a Giant? Or that a blue tablecloth represents a river?

I don't know. You tell me if its worth even thinking of it.
