And by Sigmar are ◊ they ◊ breathtaking ◊.
Awesome Art: A major draw of the game is to see the Old World in its glory, along with its scenery, and all the classic Warhammer unit designs. 
After the colossal headache it caused in the first game (see Scrappy Mechanic below for more details), the March stance was changed so that armies can no longer retreat when attacked and will be completely destroyed if they lose. This became a double cheer of happiness from the fandom when modders discovered a way to add custom battle maps to the campaign, which CA later upped with officially supporting the feature, leading to several large mods that completely overhauled the battle maps in the game. Adding to this was the release of the new map editing tool, Terry, which shortly after its release had already given the fans to ability to create some spectacular maps on their own. In particular, the devs allowed for and aiding in a mod that removed the controversial Regional Occupation system. The announcement that the game will have modding support, despite initial claims that Total War: Warhammer would have none (according to the announcement this was due to the licencing issues involved being cleared up). This was met positively with fans, as it allowed them to wait a day or two after the game's release for Let's Plays and reviews to show up to see if the game was really worth buying, then still be able to get one of the setting's core factions for free. The announcement that, due to the major backlash, the Warriors of Chaos became free for anyone who bought the game within the first week after release (and not only for those who pre-ordered). Both the Runepriest, and a Knightly Order (Knights of the Blazing Sun) ended up being added, the former in the vanilla game, and the later as DLC. However, an Instagram video showcasing a Bright Wizard confirmed that the unit rosters at launch were not complete, and there would be more units to come (CA even confirmed that they would re-organize the unit roster eventually). 
For instance, players complained about the Dwarfs lacking a Rune Priest, or the Empire lacking some of the Knightly Orders and light cavalry.
Most players were not impressed with some of the factions' inital unit rosters (most particularly the Empire's), believing they were lacking and that more units from the table top should be added. The most recent update added a difficulty slider just for them to mitigate this, but results are mixed. Also Chaos, which is usually killed within 15 turns of them appearing on the map due to being a horde, meaning losing a army is the same as a settlement, their weak mechanics, weak economy and the fact the AI doesn't know how to handle horde factions, which are already regarded as weak.
