Total War: Warhammer set piece battles

Set piece battles in Total War: Warhammer are pre-made scenarios, where you confront an enemy army in the course of a quest. It has a pre-set composition and tactics, tied into the quest story arc. Each battle can be one of three types: Classic (either regular or siege), ambush, or underground / intercept. As set piece battles are tied to legendary lords and factions, they also offer powerful items for use or contribute towards campaign victory.

All of these are available in Total War: Warhammer II (provided you own the relevant DLC), either through the Quest Battles section on the main menu, or within the Mortal Empires campaign.

Note: Battle names are mostly unofficial, added for clarity.
