Chaos Marines will likely be the preorder bonus like Warriors of Chaos was for TWWH1.

I could see them failing to deliver.
Medieval TW2 will be 20 years next year, and they haven't really to manage to improve on that in any meaningful way.
Everyone hated defending of unwalled defended settlements in WH3, and while they made some changes, I still autoresolve all of them just to avoid having to deal with them.

Only 6 of those are actually DLC. Ogres were a pre-order bonus race. Blood for the blood god is a .99 cents addition that's been around since warhammer 1, probably to avoid a mature rating in certain countries, immortal empires is a free bonus campaign, "upgrade" pack is most likely some free heroes and graphics update.

You're both right. There are a lot of, I'll call them "extras" you can buy for TW:WH I II & III but they're not really DLC's. All of those races and lords show up in campaigns whether you buy them or not. Chaos Marines could very well be in at release just not as a playable race yet. Steam tells me I have hundreds of hours without buying even half of the extra lords so I'm more than willing to give 40k the benefit of the doubt.

Did you even read that?
...also, uh, I want them to keep releasing content for these games. Do you think all those DLCs were ready to go but they held out to slow drip them for money over the years? Regarding TWH3 you can only make that argument for Ogre Kingdoms.

I mean I could argue the finer points of the list you posted and the one below, but all you need to know is that Paradox puts out so much DLC that they have a subscription models for EACH of their games expansions.
Here’s a comprehensive list of Stellaris DLC (downloadable content) — including expansions, story packs, and species packs — with their approximate MSRP (U.S. pricing) based on current Steam store listings (these reflect standard full prices, not sales). Pricing can vary slightly over time or by platform, but Steam is a good baseline. (Steam Store)
* Prices for story packs are typical but vary by store listing and may not show on all storefront views. (Steam Store)
* Species and portrait pack prices are approximate and sometimes bundled with seasonal passes. (Steam Store)
If you’d like, I can also organize these into categories with release dates or break down what each DLC adds to gameplay!

Now that we've sufficiently established that both companies flood their product with oodles of DLC, I wont be surprised when Creative Assembly does a monthly subscription service too. So, yup, enjoy 283 different chaos dlc. $29.99 each or free with a monthly subscription for the low low price of $19.99/month or $200/year! It's like getting digitally-raped by GW! It's my childhood all over again! Wow! Act now and you'll get your very own Slaanesh razor-wire butt plug delivered to your front door in discreet packaging.I mean I could argue the finer points of the list you posted and the one below, but all you need to know is that Paradox puts out so much DLC that they have a subscription models for EACH of their games expansions.

Call me jaded, but I like how the Factorio guys did it: one huge expansion.
either way, i'll still be buying this
... the butt plug is just a bonus.

If you think those prices are high try the real hobby. I think just the Archaeon model is $195.
$19 for 3 lords is a bargain!

Also, in the event they actually put DLC out at a good pace (instead of the 1-2 per year we've been getting with TWH3), if you can stomach being one release behind they usually put the rest of them on sale at 50% off to promote whatever just released. Pretty sure Paradox/Stellaris does the same.

Main issue for me about DLCs is the races I want to play the most will likely be held back for game2 like they did with Fantasy. I want Tyranids mostly and then Necrons and I feel the Nid/Necron/Tau stuff will be the launch factions for the 2nd game because they're big, meanwhile first game only going to get stuff like dark eldars, chaos and maybe some other faction too(I'd say Mechanicus or Sororitas) which are just kinda variations of the launch stuff.
