Realm of the Wood Elves was the year's biggest addition, bringing a new playable race, the Season of Revelations story campaign, and the Legendary Lords Orion and Durthu. Call of the Beastmen and the free Bretonnia release also substantially expanded the campaign roster, while the Assembly Kit gained meaningful map-making tools.

• Realm of the Wood Elves: The Campaign Pack added the Wood Elves to the Grand Campaign, the Season of Revelations map, a full army roster, Amber as a race-specific currency, new monsters and heroes, two lord types, three hero types, and specialized skill trees.
• Call of the Beastmen and Bretonnia: Call of the Beastmen introduced the Beastmen as a playable horde race alongside the An Eye for an Eye story campaign.
