Total War: Warhammer's Update 3 is now live, bringing with it The Grim & The Grave DLC, as well as the latest Free-LC for the popular game.

The Grim & The Grave, available for $7.99 if you don't have the season pass, adds new heroes, units and quests to the Vampire Counts and The Empire. As for the Free-LC, players get Vlad Von Carstein, a legendary hero for the Vampire counts, and five new multiplayer maps.

In addition, Update 3 adds a laundry list of bug fixes and unit balance changes. Of particular note is a modification to two Greenskin units, not so much for the actual change as for the description of the changes: "Mork was too Morky in Update 2 and has been nerfed ever so slightly" and "Gork has been buffed a smidge." Dataminers will need to define "smidge."
