Thanquol soon, friends!
>>521075387Perfect image for the thread since Bulgarians are fixing the Brits mess of the game.
IT IS A RECKONING
>-15% recruitment from Leader of Renown skill>-25% recruitment from Firebrand skill>-10% recruitment from The Burning Brazier quest weapon>up to -40% recruitment from Tribal Encampment building chain>-15% recruitment from Relief Columns commandmentI had no fucking idea going my Boris campaign that Kislev had so many ways to lower recruitment or that budget Rasputin could get free recruitment, what the fuck. He is never going to see battle now, he's far more useful just camping in my capital and recruiting armies for my other lords.

Updated predictions based on recent developments.>Dechala/Crom/Li Dao/Styrkaar FLCBased this on beta patch notes and likelihood of Cathay tabletop model and DLC reveal crossover event.>Warhammer Skulls Event 25 FLC: EgrimmEgrimm for Tzeentch>Neferata/Ushoran/Zacharias/Harakhte/Red Duke FLCBased on beta patch notes giving all bloodlines a lord.>Dogs of War(Borgio/Lorenzo/Lucrezzia/Marco) with Yin-Yin FLCFinishes off Cathay.>Warhammer Skulls Event 26 FLC: Boris Todbringer with some Ulrican stuff.>End Times DLC(Nagash/Valten/Caradryan/Thanquol/Bugman)I am aware that CA said Empire is getting more Empire dlc with the ToD release Q&A for Wizard lords. I think wizard lords is just going to be part of Dogs of War with halflings and empire will be able to use them.
So how are we all feeling now that DLC is cofirmed to be Slaanesh/Vampire Counts/Norsca?
>>521077071>Vampire Count players will be VERY happy.That is what Richard said. No one is going to be fucking happy with just Neferata plus the patch notes updated so all factions pick for their bloodline. There is no way in fuck they are going to the end game with only two bloodlines playable.
What are the odds that we'll get Neferata as one of the DLC lords with a revamped (lmao) Red Duke as a FLC? That would be perfect, in my opinion.
>>521077071As long as it's not High Elves. They have 7 LL already and massive Infantry bloat. They're done
>>521077071if anything the patch notes disconfirmed vamps being in the slaanesh dlc and setup a bloodline dlc for later especially since we know slaanesh is getting the flc as confirmed in the dechala video>>521077269zero for slaanesh dlc or 100% if bloodline dlc later
>>521077237Vcunts players are starved for 8+ years so they will be "very happy" with literally anything.
>>521077237Only way I'll be very happy is if Vampire Counts get a Blood Dragon hero and some vampire melee infantry so I can go full vampire only armies with no raised dead.
>>521077438>Literal nonstop threads for YEARS demanding a LL from each bloodline on the CA forums ever since CoC released.The rage will beyond epic if that happens if they don't even get Red Duke FLC that was promised.
>>521077570>vampire melee infantryLuckily for you Neferata has Lahmian vampire handmaidens which is literally an elite vampire melee infantry unit from End Times.
Is it possible to steal legendary heroes like you can with regular heroes?
>>521077891Yeah. I was able to steal Ghoritch while playing as Arbaal the Unmashable. It was pretty cool having him around in a Khorne campaign since he's just a Khornate berserker in a ratto body.
>>521077891Yeah, that's the actual goal for stealing since they're already immortalProbably how it was discovered too
Oh, I have more hours in wh3 now than in wh2 And I played since around vampire coast
Will the AI beta make AI more likely to put their damn heroes in their armies? Legendary Heroes walk around and do little most of the time. The most annoying was when I played Vilitch and was beating up Arbaal, and that shitty monkey Scyla wounded 3 heroes. He hasn't fought a single battle, he only did dishonorabu disprays of subterfuge. Fuck that shit
Not shitting you guys, I predicted Khorne/Ogres/Greenskins while people were falling for l*gends lies, but i just dont know about this one.>All evidence points towards Norsca and Counts>But some shills are also confient about HEs and Cathay>But i also know CA definately wants to make themed dlcs so SL/HE/DE makes the most sense.>Also HEs/DEs are more in line with ToD since both popular, main game release factions that need a touch up.I just dont know...
>>521078086Going to Ally Durthu and try to get Ariel then.
>>521077570CA really fucked up when the first DLC came out with Helman Ghorst. It was so fucking bad they had to patch in Vlad and Isabella and patch in some free flc units as well to make up for it and publicly release a statement that Neferata would be the next DLC lord for VC and Red Duke would be FLC. CA isn't going to royally fuck up the same exact way they did before by just releasing Neferata without Red Duke. They know damn well that would enrage everyone especially since they mentioned in the patch notes they read their forums and clearly have seen all the threads about vampire bloodline DLC.
>>521078382i am going to laugh hard at you when it is norsca and cathay and then vampire counts come later
>>521078382There no evidenceCA literally just fixed norscans shit in realms of chaos where they did nothing after conquering wall.While VC shit is on same level as WE behaving more loreful with patch
How come I never hear Dwarfs yell KILL ANYTHING WITHOUT A BEARD anymore?
it's Slaanesh, Vampire Counts(Neferata) and Cathay screencap this you retards so you can repost it later when they announce it
>>521077071>>521078382>ca is going to go out of their way to enrage vamp fans by only giving them neferata after forcing them to wait literally 10 years for their next dlc and not even give them their promised flc.do you truly believe they are going to go out of their way to piss people off again after what happened last time?
>>521078892Baldphobia against American Aboriginals
The next DLC is Dechala (Slaanesh), Scaramouche (Fatui) and Gerard Depardieu (Bretonnia). CA and GW see how popular Genshin is which is why Scaramouche is in, and they saw how people love the inclusion of Ronaldo in a fighting game so they added in Gerard. If that is not the next DLC, CA must've shamelessly pivoted because of this post!!!
>>521077071Can I get your source please? :)
>>521078913Cathay who tho? Li Dao makes no sense withouth map expansion and Monkey King.Cathay makes the least sense here. Yin-Yin is at most a FLC because she doesnt have unique units.
>>521076712Imagine a dread saurian with dozens of peasant bowmen riding on it. There's a golden grail and candles on the saurian's back. The saurian is covered in a multicoloured caparison like Bretonnian cavalry units are. Glorious.
>>521079215Li Dao makes perfect sense to add with Dechala because they would both be in Ind. Dechala and Arbaal were both there during End Times. Expect them to move Arbaal done there as well.
>>521079215>she doesnt have unique unitsthis is the dumbest fucking thing I've read all dayshe's the expansionist who's in contact with people from outside cathay, if anything she has a lot more potential for new units than li dao
>>521079212Sure thing anon :)
>>521079215>Li Dao makes no sense withouth map expansion wait until you find out where dechala was in the end times....and monkey king is going to be a hero for li dao
>>521079416>she's the expansionistThe fuck are you on about? She tried to invade Lustria once and got btfo. She didnt expand anything aside her asshole to BSC.
>>521079416>she has a lot more potential for new units than li daoLi Dao has:>Celestial dragon monks>Ki-Rin(Confirmed to be in the South where he is.)>fire elementals>Likely the one horned-ogres since we know ogres are in his area>monkey men are confirmed to be in his army and fight alongside his warrior monks>nomad units>vermillion birds
>>521079416>she's the expansionist who's in contact with people from outside cathayThat's Yuan Bo in the game and Miao in TOW. Yin Yin has no niche. She is FLC material for sure.
>>521079416li dao has celestial monks and ki-rin that automatically makes him a better choice
>>521079687>The fuck are you on about?she's literally called expansionist by the lead writer you absolute retard, and she tried to invade the Southlands not Lustriahttps://youtu.be/JQEOEpgPBuU?si=Hz3rTZtLRH5u8Dmw&t=930
>tfw can't play mediocre lords like boris anymore, after experiencing Ungrim going through entire army just to solo enemy lord
>Get a half-assed Vampire Counts DLC>But get the fully expanded Ind/Khuresh part of the map (early)Hmm. I dont think is a good deal.
>>521080148I only play lords that start with at least 10k health.
>>521080082>3 years ago>Andy Hall who has no more ties to GW and TOW
>>521080174What is the point of adding expansion area with Neferata? That would be stupid as fuck. Put someone in the DLC who would benefit from the expanded area. Crom, Li Dao, Monkey King, Caradryan, Aislinn, and Dechala would all benefit from expanding the area. A Norsca(Crom)/Cathay(Li Dao) combo would work or even a Crom and Aislinn combo or Li Dao and Caradryan combo.
>>521080441>Literally reads directly from the internal 8th edition army book given to him by gamesworkshop while answering questions during the interview.
>ki-rin repeatedly mentioned as a unit making it seem /twg/ wants it more than any other unit apart from charactersoh are we all zhao now?
>>521078382Stop being a delusional faggot, the Dark Elves and High Elves are complete and do not need updates, they were never on the table to begin with.
Who's funner, Arbaal or Skarbrand?
>>521080662Why yes I do want flaming horses in my Cathayan army led by the warrior monk Li Dao. Thank you for noticing.
>>521080847Arbaal.
>>521079416No, she doesn't. Li Dao actually has detailed units that can be added, Yin Yin has nothing by comparison. I swear it's ridiculous that anyone even cares about Yin Yin, she's just meme material, and the least relevant Dragon of the siblings, if she's even still alive.
>>521080802No one wanted/expected GS dlc either. CA wants theming in the dlcs.>Dark Elves and High Elves are ... do not need updates...Awful bait.
>>521080862what if the ki-rin get angry though
I want the next dlc to be called depths of depravity, not voyage of excess.
>>521080847Arbaal and its not even close.
>>521081228>>521080956why?
>>521081118Better watch out then or you might get burned.
Nyanferata, Dechallah, and Boris Yeltsin are the LLs in the next DLC
>>521081249>Better start location>Relatively strong enemies who *can* put up a fight>Arbaalz buffs the ortal units which are better than deamons.>VA is funnier>You can just easily teleport if you get bored
>Think "dwarf hold in snowy mountains" is one of the best and comfiest fantasy aesthetics.>Only two who actually have that aesthetic are Malakai and Ungrim and I'm not into slayer armies.Shite.
>>521080847Arbaal is too strong. He's like skulltaker where the campaign just becomes too easy. Not that Skarbrand is hard, but he's the weakest khorne lord. Khorne should have had buffs/debuffs tied to how many battles and kills they had recently to balance how strong but also basic the units are.
>>521081249Better start position so no need to spend a cult.Teleporting around makes it comfortable to keep bloodletting high and get money.His army buffs are way better and is only marginally worse in combat while also being much smaller armored target and with his dog he is speedy af.Also like the other anon said his VA is fun.
>>521081062They are. Dark Elves have all of their units, and unless CA plans on adding naval battles (they won't), the High Elves are pretty much done too. They're also in a good spot campaign mechanics wise and they have solid LLs, they do not need a DLC or an update. The DLC options are Norsca/Vampire Counts/Cathay as a result, Elves aren't even on the table and only delusional idiots would think otherwise.
Are Shugengan basically just humans visually? None of them have like draconic features or whatever
Oh shit Tau bros, we might not have to wait until game 2 or 3 when they start doing 40K!Or maybe it was just a reference to that one movie, but I doubt it.
>>521081249Arbaal is cooler than Skarbrand and he can teleport to fight people. This means you can teleport to LLs that give great Lord defeat traits to buff up Arbaal or his army like fucking crazy.
>>521081749kys
Ah, beautiful Sylvania!
>>521081749Isn't that also a quote from Crom during the end times?
>521081698This was even a shittier bait.People have been screaming about Teclis and Morathi having no mechanics while fucking Gelt got the best magical mechanic in the game.
>>521081536Living in a Dwarven mountain city would be pretty fucking comfy. >home or apartment is literally carved into the Earth, so it'll have a nice temperature by default>Dwarves are lawtists so you wouldn't have to worry about all that much crime>Dwarves will probably think you're cool if you at least try to assimilate into their culture and will probably forgive you if you accidently commit some faux pas on account of you being a retard brained manling>shortstack Dwarf wives, may or may not come with facial hair
>>521081749That would be odd, but nice, since practically every single 40K game is SM-Chaos-Orks-Eldar, without exception.
>>521082019Which quote? I doubt Crom would say anything about a "greater good". I could even believe Archaon saying it, but not Crom.
>>521081749>but I doubt it.I know you're trolling but since /twg/ is actually that stupid I'll point out that it is blatantly a Hot Fuzz reference. The repetition of the phrase is from the movie, not 40k.
Oh come on, what the fuck this asshole is doing there so early
>>521082019Valten says something about "good" before his duel to the death with Crom. I don't think he said "greater good" though.
>>521082183>A slaan having a bad dream can cause your entire mountain to collapse.>A rat can stab you in the asshole while you take a shitNo.
>>521082537Why does he have a tzeentch hero already
>>521082019It's a voice line of some LL when moving on the campaign map. Tyrion I think.
>>521082537He also recruited 3 more units not even in his territory, what the fuck>>521082670Enemy lords start with heroes and RoR
>>521082670you can dedicate your starting hero princess ograx
>>521082537He wont declare war untill he finishes off Slaanesh. You can actually kill him there if you had another lord.>>521082670He randomly dedicates his starting hero.
>>521082537I really don't like Archaon being Boris starting enemy.
>>521081790>>521081590>>521081685>>521081464Alright I'll go with Arbaal. Any tips? I figured I would just take and hold 2 provinces and then just spread cults everywhere else and just fight all the time
>>521082760>He also recruited 3 more units not even in his territory, what the fuckWoC can recruit anywhere and it's always instant. They're still a horde.
>>521082760>He also recruited 3 more units not even in his territory, what the fuckThats literally how WoC recruitment works. Thats why he is passing through there.
Which faction will you play in beta?
>>521082946>hold 2 provincesNo. Hold 2 major settlements. Dedicate 1 to deamon shit, another to mortals. Then just raze anything you see untill you get bored.
>>521082946>tipsChaos warriors are busted.Also if you suspect you cant ally with Archaon, try to kill him early. Just bait out the hell cannon ammo and you should be able to beat his army no problem. Just dont get your cav stuck in dogs and just blob it up.
>>521083169None. I am not playing the beta because I like my mods. Waiting for the official patch on the first.
>>521082609Yeah, but both of those things could happen literally anywhere anywhere.
>I rise, R. MisfallWho is R. Misfall?
>>521083169Gorbad or Zhao.
>>521082946Rush for Chosen with Duel Weapons and stack all the bonuses they can get. They become basically unstoppable. You can level up your starting province really quickly by just fighting battles and shit. I was able to get chosen by turn 20 I think.Also, consider trying to get vassalage or military alliance with Chaos Dwarves. Getting Fireglaives to supplement your melee murder machines is pretty fun.
>>521076873If you look at the immortal empire maps they have a perfect setup for all those vampire LLs. Especially the Jade one and Ushoran. No one is around them.
Total 40k War Space Hammer will launch with:>Votann>Deldar>Genestealer Cults>Chaos Daemonsand get>Custodes DLCWar 40 Hammer Totalk Space 2 will launch with:>Eldar>Tyranids>Necrons>Thousand Sunsand get>Orkz DLC40war Spacek Total Hammer 3 will launch with:>Imperial Fists>Adeptus Mechanicus>Sluts of Fucking>Praetorian Guard>Tauand get>Ultraboys DLC>Grey Knights DLC
Imagine if the dlc is actually Slaanesh + 4 way Vampire CoC...
>>521082946When I played Arbaal I took his full starting province and even that turned out to be pointless, do as the other anon suggests, one settlement for mortals, one for demons, and move the fuck on. You don't give a shit about holding settlements or provinces, you just want to run around killing people, sacking cities and only stopping every once in a while to replenish and recruit. Khorne factions really are the most braindead and straightfroward in the game.
>>521083767Uh no. They already said 2 other races and Slaanesh is getting the FLC. Vampire bloodline dlc can the dlc after though.
>>521083623>Getting Fireglaives to supplement your melee murder machines is pretty funAw hell yeah I think I will>You can level up your starting province really quickly by just fighting battles and shit. I was able to get chosen by turn 20 I thinkhow? just cash from fighting?
>>521083314A secret Border Princes LL that you can unlock by beating the game with every Lord expect Karl Franz.
Why do people think we're getting another DLC when TCALBUL said they will be announcing two new titles this year?
>>521084018>TCALBULWho the fuck is that? CA's job postings say they are only working one total warhammer game and alien: isolation sequel. They might officially show off the alien sequel because the total war game isn't scheduled for release until late Q3 2026 so it would pointless to show that off until next year.
>Beat Grandma out of my witchwood.>She drops pic related in one of my building slots...ummm thanks?
>>521084018We may get two if TCALBULGE surprises us, but yeah at this rate with them having to release 6.2 in May after beta, and WH3 DLC 1 for June/July.
>>521084224>Exalted tcalbul of khorne!
>Fu-Chow with OvN Lost World.Hooooooooly fuck. Legit turned into the coolest city in the game and it's not even anyone's capital, what the hell? I mean, this looks way more like a capital than Weijin.
>>521084018They're delusional and expect like 4+ DLCs from a company that took 8 months for Orcs with shields.
You Total War chuds are funding my First Person Survival Horror, how does that make you feel? You're nothing but an ATM to TCAL, they'd much rather make games of literally any other IP than their own.
>>521084412Fu Chow is Yin-Yin's capital. It is suppose to be the richest city in Cathay and full of pirates and chaos cultists.
>>521084285Yeah that shit happens. Probably because they changed that building line to be removed one step of the time instead of all like every other building.
>>521084508The sad thing is that this is entirely true. CA literally hates Total Warhammer and is only reluctantly updating it to fund other projects.
>>521084412>>521084562>city called Fu-ChowIt's over, CA will give Yin-Yin such a massive chin it will be called Futa Chow in the future...
Why does r/twg claim that the Empire campaign is the easiest one in the entire game?
>>521084562Well someone at OvN is a huge Yin-Yinfag because they went all out with it. I mean, there are a lot of great cities in that mod but that's the most impressive one of all. Really feels like some place you'd set a full Gotrek and Felix novel in.
>>521084412>>521084562This would be a pretty cool location for a Warhammer CRPG, I think. A rich fantasy China port filled with Chaos cultists and frequented by travelers from all other would be a cool place to explore.
>>521084224
>>521083824so no point building cults at all?
>>521085007I don't even remember what the cults do for Khorne. I think I activated the "place a cult down every time you win a battle" effect for Arbaal one time, looked at what I could build in those cults, and immediately deactivated the effect and ignored it for the rest of the campaign.
>>521085165That sounds like a fun effect on paper, don't see it anywhere thoI guess Im overthinking it, gotta think more like Khorne
Does anyone ever build the deeps building that stops the ages of reckoning?
>>521084814>Futa ChowYin Yin DLC with Amazon Warriors and nyl2 hired as lead animator.
>>521085165The most useful effect is increasing bloodhost attrition grace period but it's not easy to set up. Only Tzeentch and Nurgle have useful cults with the Tzeentchian ones being absolutely busted.
>>521085375I don't remember seeing such a thing
>>521081021They want another female dragon who isn't mean and cold like Miao. That's it.
He's never going to lose his top spot, isn't he?
>>521085375>>521085506It's only in 3 locations and by the time you reach any of them and can build the deeps in it you've already won the campaign, got bored, and started over as Karl Franz
>>521085432I was really disappointed to find out only the Tzeentchian ones can self-proliferateI have not played a single Nurgle campaign of any kind. Which Nurgle LL would let me play tall and spread cults everywhere until I can start a world ending plague?
>>521085636Most people don't even know he exists because he dies to something before getting discovered by the player.
>Knights Panther>Biggest knight order in the Empire>In tons of army lists like the one they used for Volkmar and Elsepth's army list rosters.>Mysteriously missing from both somehow.>Not in the Ulrican army list which is basically all that is left besides halflngs.They have to be holding them back to release as a FLC unit alongside Boris Todbringer right? That way he has something to buff as FLC.
>>521084508At least Alien: Isolation was good unlike whatever Hyenas was.
>>521075387>>521075871I am going to very upset if Archaon's herald Crom is in a completely different than race him. He better not be the Norscan lord.
>>521085791The ack was a generational game betrayed by dumb consumers who don't know what they should want.
>>521085636Not.One.Druchii.
Which faction is best for first time Kislev?Should Katarin be my first or is she too hardcore?
lmao
>>521086326How did you manage that
>>521086326Is "The Defeated" trait still completely ignorable? Last time I checked it was something like "-20 Khornate Relations". It should completely gimp Arbaal's stats, in my opinon. And actually change his name to "Arbaal the Defeated"
>>521086634declared war on the chorfs and didn't notice there were two sizeable armies near eachother when I force marched in
>>521086262Katarin is the absolute best way to learn Kislev. The suffering is part of the experience for all of them but at least Katarin is cute and her sled is super fun
>DechalaMeans man of prayer.>Li DaoMeans fire prayer>AisliinPrayer or vision.There I found out your three DLC lords by literally looking up name meanings.
>>521086698Im pretty sure it does actually change his name. Didn't look at the trait tho
>>521086708Oh you are actually fighting close to homeWhen I played him I kept the home safe and just teleported around the map to pillage
>>521086763>Dechala>man of prayerWhat the fuck did Slaanesh do to her?
>>521086915Thought I'd work up to the 'can replenish in foreign territory' skill before I tried that, or maybe a little longer and get Chosen
>Norscans actually managed to take down the spirit of grungni with massed spear chuckersWow then nerf really did it in.
>>5210870066 hands = triple the prayer!As for man... well, it is Slaanesh.
>>521087335I kneel, MPchads
Any buffs Arbaal can give to Chosen that aren't obvious? the red skill tree alone looks pretty good
>>521087484His special skills give his whole army unbreakable and perfect vigor, if I recall correctly.
>>521087543Holy fuck How did I not see that?
How do MPfags outmanuever each other on the campaign map?
I think we are too powercrept at this point. I've been doing comparisons between lords and TW3 lords are just insane. If you strip Arbaal out of everything he's still cheaper than fully stripped lords like Malekith or Tyrion(no magic attacks or ap) but retains insane AP and magic attacks and a inflated stats. It's insane. This is true for every single new lord. Magic attacks are given out like candies at this point.
>>521087484Could farm defeat traits that buff such things. Just don't fight ghorst unless you want your sweet discouraged attacks being changed to poison.
>>521087764He's a lord of Khorne. Of course he's going to be better in melee than some pansy elf. He can't cast spells unlike Malerion.
>>521086763Li Dao can also translate to "strength" in other dialects of Chinese. Just like Styrkaar means "strength" in Swedish and Crom/Krum means "bent strength" in Bulgarian.I don't think a name is how they pick DLCs although it would be funny.
>>521087484Chosen at T3 are cool but once you get the growth tech you can get to tier 4 very quickly as Khorne and then you have access to the best infantry in the game: WrathmongersJust try them and you'll be shocked.
>>521087989Wrathmongers got nerfed in the latest patch at the behest of the MP community. According to Turin, it was good but not enough so expect more nerfs.
>>521088114I saw the difference, they went from 46 speed to 40Still gets to like 48 with the lord buffs, and well over 50 if you add the unique wrathmonger hero.Or maybe that's only the cultist lordsAnyway there's no other infantry that is running away from that, these are getting to heavy cav type speeds. They will melt anything that comes close to them in melee and take virtually no casualties due to 10,000 health spread on a 32 man (?) unit.
Why does everyone think we can get LLs in Skulls events? There has never been a LL in a skull event. It used to be units but the last few have been legendary heroes.
>>521087715anon, they aren't playing campaignthey're just doing skirmish battles
>>521088451Because Legend said we're getting Egrimm van gravemann soon.
>>521088451Trust the plan.
>>521088575So then he can be the FLC with Dogs of War since Dogs of War will have a completely unrelated FLC.
>>521087873Malekith with no items and spells is 1300, Arbaal is 1250. And he gets frenzy, magic attacks and AP which Malekith doesn't have. Makes you ask what you are paying the additional gold for. Definition of power creep.
>103 turns>Ogres are slain>Rivals subjugated or butchered>Chaos dwarfs put to heel>Cathay conquered>Ghorst and Imrik also deadGuess its time to finally send Tamurkhan to Wissenland. Sadly Elspeth died on like turn 30.
>>521088451Its going to be Bugman LH.
>>521088672Lords and units are balanced taking factional strengths into account. Khorne needs strong characters because they don't have magic or good ranged units.
>>521085959Too bad because they literally have a Kurgan legendary hero directly connected to him storms of chaos 6th ed and end times 8th ed. Even Great Book of Grudges was shocked in his video over the Crom thing and made a comment that is likely hinting towards Crom being for Norsca in the Slaanesh DLC.
>>521082183>Dwarves will probably think you're cool if you at least try to assimilate into their culture and will probably forgive you if you accidently commit some faux pas on account of you being a retard brained manling>hmm i wonder what their main gimmick and the source of all animosity between them and non-dwarfen races isr/twg, everyone
>>521088763Not likely at all he would need to arrive brewmaster hero and ale cart or you would never be able to do a full Bugman army.Besides that it is always chaos aligned legendary heroes like kanark last year and harry the hammer the year before.
>>521087484As Khorne you always get the Chainsword sooner or laterArbaal can charge it up quickly by running into an enemy blob and using his explosionOnce it is charged you can 2-shot enemy lords, heroes, monsters.The special dog hero can immobilize them too, if you want to make it easier.I personally really enjoy watching the enemy health bar disappear in two hits.
Interstellar is the most Blood God sci-fi movie
>>521089175I'll keep an eye out for italso turns out 'Infernal Chasm' from the upcoming Doom games soundtrack fits pretty well with this campaign
>>521088941That guy is 7th/8th edition not 6th.
>>521081062>No one wanted/expected GSEveryone with a 3 digit IQ.
>>521088914Explain Yuan having +20 in every stat, magic attacks, AP and double the health. He's also a caster with elemental and spell mastery. It's pure powercreep.
>>521089747All right that is powercreep considering Cathay has a good balanced roster and doesn't need to lean on their characters.
>>521089747He also has execute so even Arbaal loses to him in a duel.
Crom the Norscan who unified the Kurgan is coming in the Slaanesh DLC and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
Malekith not having AP(race known for having AP) or magic attacks(his sword is literally pure magic) was always bullshit. But it was more tolerable in how TW2 was balanced but now it's just CA and mpfags(Malekith is never used by them because they nerfed him to the ground) inventing excuses.
>>521090170>Crom the Norscan who unified the KurganNot allowed to exist in 2025
>>521090170Crom ruins the Norsca lord theme. They pick lords who hate the chaos gods but are chaos aligned. Crom doesn't have them he is the herald of Archaon. Mortkin fits much better with theme that CA has going for it. A guy who manipulated the chaos gods to give him their power just so he could get revenge and once he got it he rejected the chaos gods.
>>521081749A ranged faction is mandatory for the base game.And no it can not be a popular one (like the Guard) because they will keep it for DLC later.Tau were always guaranteed to be in the base game.
>>521090170What's this from?
>>521090670Shadows of Change blog. You should also check the beta notes from today and see what minor faction is getting adjusted. :)
>>521090658Tau aren't popular? I always thought they were. Not as much as IG and definitely not as much as any brand of Marines, but still on the upper end for xenos.
>>521090657>They pick lords who hate the chaos gods but are chaos aligned.Throgg is thankful to chaos and Wulfic is one of the most loyal chaos lackeys Arachaon ever had.
>>521090830They pivotmaxxed after SoC though. Nothing true before it is, was, or will be true after.
>>521090891They are the "weeb army". Also their play style is basically shoot enemy to death before they get in melee or lose which is really annoying to play against.
If Crom/Norsca is really in the Slaanesh dlc then pairing them with Cathay makes sense.
>>521081749>that one movieare 40kiddies really too young to remember Hot Fuzz?Grim.Grave, even.
>>521090891They are unpopular on 4chan because of fake grogs and imperiumwank but if you go to your LGS on warhammer night chances are you'll see someone playing Tau
>>521091495There's a difference between not remembering the movie and not remembering the movie's name. Specially since I saw a localized version that didn't even use that title.
>>521091651>localized versionYanks get the King's English localised? lmao
>>521091307That would explain why 6.0 opened that part of the map just north of Khuresh and put a minor Norscan faction there.
>>521092023That norscan faction has always been there. 6.0 added a greenskin faction to the new province.
>>521089635>literally a timelimited mini released in Archaon's amry box during Storm of Chaos
>>521085959It makes sense for him to be Archaon's vassal though.
>>521090891You like them or you hate them, no in between.
>>521092328It makes sense for him to be in the Warriors of Chaos as LL since he controlled half the army when they split up in both timelines. He makes no sense in Norsca or as LH.
I was thinking of playing a Noctilus campaign, first time even acknowledging the Vampire Coast since playing them for about an hour in TWW2, when I noticed something.Depth Guard are complete fucking trash.How the fuck can CA justify the Depth Guard, a tier three melee unit, having worst stats then melee units of lower tiers and a unit count of fucking 60 on ultra? Compared to Khorne Warriors and Chosen (I thought they would make a good comparison as they were also armored, duel axe wielding and had frenzy), they are worse in almost every way. They have lower armor, lower health, lower unit models, lower leadership and lower or comparable melee defense. Only thing they have over both is healing while in melee. Which is a shame because the idea of the Depth Guard is pretty fucking cool, they just seem to underperforming. The biggest issue in my opinion is the unit count. If vampires are rarer than Chaos warriors, I feel like they would be stronger individually. I feel like 80 would be a better number for Depth guard.
>>521092514Now he controls the Marauder half of the army.
Dechala/Crom/Li DaoThat is the DLC. Li Dao gets paired with two chaos faction because he hates them at a fanatical level. He is also paired in the Dechala dlc because they both need Ind opened up so it is perfect to pair them. Crom is added because he leads the Kurgans after he unified them. CA's hints keep pushing a Kurgan/Cathay battle which pairs Crom in a DLC with Cathay.
>>521092582From what I understand, Depth Guard were initially crazy strong tanky infantry mulchers but mpiggers complained about them so CA nerfed them into the ground.
OH MY FUCKING GODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALOOK AT THIS SHITWHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT**ALL** OF FUCKING GRENADIERS SHOT AT THE -ONE- MODEL THAT'S SQUEEZED THE DEEPEST BETWEEN THE FRIENDLY TROOPSMY HALBEDIERS LOST ALMOST HALF OF THEIR HEALTH WHILE THE ENEMY BARELY GOT SCRATCHEDFUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK SHIT FUCKING GAME IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS RETARDED SHIT
>>521092582Weren't depth guard raped heavily by mpniggers though?
>>521089000I feel like for every dorf that would hate you and your entire bloodline because you accidently stiffed them by a gold coin during a sale there's a dorf that would think "at least he's trying, praise Grungni"
>CA says they're fixing an issue that has been overlooked for years>/twg/ thinks it means a faction is confirmed for the next dlcyou people are dumb as rocks
>>521092582low model count and low hp they get chopped right through hunger too.
>>521092582Now compare vcoast shooting to khorne shooting.
>>521092780Actually that cycle happened twice. Depth guard were strong again when IE first launched and VCoast was fun to play again, but they've received a few nerfs since so now they're shit again
I just hope the Bulgarian studio isn't taken away from us to work on something other than WH3 for the time being.
>>521092582Vampire Coast roster is the worst in the entire game and it's not even close.
"Nerfing stuff because multiplayer players complained" is similar to how Overwatch became shitty because Blizzard balanced the game around what completive players bitched about the most.>>521091495Shame.
>>521091495>watching movies
MPfags got wildwood rangers buffedand then nerfed again but still good so i'm happy.
>>521093481Daym shame what happened to her.
>>521093747It's him now, chud.
Wouldn't it be funny if Crom was in the Slaanesh dlc but instead of Norsca it was Warriors of Chaos.
>>521094362No.
>>521094362That wouldn't be funny at all. That would be very unfun, in fact. I would prefer if CA never acknowledges Warriors of Chaos ever again.
>>521085608Got me there
Wouldn't it be funny if Yin-yin was in the Cathay dlc but instead of Cathay it was Lizardmen (inside a saurian).
Wouldn't it be funny if the DLC was Slaanesh vs Lords of Shangyang?
>>521094698Dread SauriYin
>>521094698>Futa Yin-Yin Yes God please CA
>>521094698>>521094915Yin-yin is happily married to a Dread Saurian and is producing dino-dragon half-breeds to carry out Toadler's Greatest Plan
So is her little brother Li Dao in the next DLC?
YinYin is a layer of fat on a Slann's bulk
>>521095104>Yin-yin is happily married to a Dread Saurian
>>521093356They have handgunners (zombo) and Handgunner zombos on crabs so it all balances out. Rest of the roster is hot garbage.
"Skulls for the Skull Throne" / "Warhammer Skulls" events>2017: Krell>2018: Bone Giant>2019: Amethyst Wizard>2020: Black Orc Big Boss>2021: "Enter the World of Khorne" (lol)>2022: "Immortal Empire teaser trailer" (lol)>2023: Harald Hammerstorm>2024: Karanark2025: ???
>>521095532why is Ivy shipped with lizards?
>>521095698Transquol LH
>>521095525The next Cathay dlc will have Li Dao and Monkey King. It won't be the slaanesh dlc though
How would a faction based on American culture look like?(i know i know we have ogres.....) We have a faction for every nation in the world but not USA.
>>521095925Why not? Dechala is going to be Ind. Logically that is correct time to add him.
>>521095953Druchii
>>521095953Dark Elves are suppose to be parody Americans and High Elves the British. Warhammer is a parody of real life civilizations.
>>521096023>>521096157Ah I see I didn't know that.
>>521096157That's a joke from 1d4chan that lives on due to secondaries taking all their info from it.
>>521095993Dechala is going to the southlands and will be moved to Ind when they finally expand the map with the final dlc in 2027
>>521096157If anything Druchii are Canadian
>>521096157Well the creator of Warhammer did say Naggarond was based on NYC.
>That one chosenPathetic. Grandfather is going to take your favored card away and make you reborn as a fucking rotfly.
why can't i finish a ratmen campaign
Okay Slaanesh is getting the Slaanesh Tigermen unit obviously and Slaangors along with the other two announced units obviously but what would be the 5th one? Basilik?
>>521096489>Malekith wears blackface at partiesI can see it.
>>521096872Because you keep finishing in ratmen.
>Orion campaign. >Recruit Spellweaver with lore of dark>Doesn't move at all during battles.> huh maybe it's the mount she's on.>nnnnope spellweavers cannot move at all when using dark lore Im tempted to ditch the campaign because of it.
this should be fun
>>521097243I have never seen the AI make an army like that before.
>>521097243You can just run in circles on arbaal while taking almost damage to spend all that artillery ammo.>>521097332You have never seen collage of pyrotechnics rogue army then. They are exclusively gunpowder from steamtanks to artillery.
>>521097089>Slaanesh TigermenWhat?
>>521096489>Druchi birthrates are down we must import more Cathayan and Indish slaves!
>>521097504Rakshasa tigermen from the roleplaying edition set in Ind. They are tigermen aligned with Slaanesh.
>>521081698Nah we aren't done. As long as CA is making units from one word in a RPG supplement I can request whatever race I want.
>>521096487the next DLC will also be in 2027 at the rate CA makes anything
>>521097448i'd just keep the army back and send in the SEMs the AI will proceed to shoot itself when you get into melee
>>521097165Dreadfu poster....
>>521097504Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition: Rough Nights & Hard Days published by gamesworkshop has a setting in Ind. The enemies are Slaanesh aligned tigermen. Would make sense to include them in Dechala's DLC since she is likely going to be in Ind since she was there in the End Times.
>>521097983Whatever works as long as you keep those infantry far away and dont get your chariot/cav torn by the tanks.
>>521097196always check if you have any cheats on
>go to official forum >people are talking about the new kislev boons being too weakWe ain't ever getting of the powercreep ride, aren't we?
>still no Dark Riders (Grenade Launchers)>still no Shades (Grenade Launchers) (Snipe)>still no Bleakswords (Chosen)>still no Hydra (no healing cap) (duodecupled regen)>still no Slave Bazaar (10000 gold per slave)When the fuck are Druchii getting their rework and necessary units?
>>521098136There's no reason at all to think GW wants nulore to be bound by 4th edition or anything in whfb after the changes they've made to Cathay. While it might suggest a flavorful slaanesh faction there, it doesn't mean we should expect a unit from it. Unless of course they're a reskin of another tiger unit in the dlc I guess
How do I increase my trade tariff to increase my income?
>>521098771Roleplaying 4th edition is in 8th edition tabletop...
>>521098686Hydra has a healing cap? Wow that's dumb infinite regrowth was always the main gimmick of the unit on the TT. Yeah that needs a change.
>>521098771but the 4th edition of roleplay published in 2017 by gameoworksnop is part of 8th edition. it is the nearest lore available actually and then you have andy hall in the cathay interview saying that tigermen are a chaos race like the snakemen in khuresh,
I like Morghur as a character and I think he's really strong on his own, but goddamn if he isn't the most anti-synergistic LL in the whole game with his faction.>Known for having basically zero personal damage, but the strongest Mortis Engine effect in the game, meaning he can rack up immense damage if he's left to stand among enemy troops for long enough.>In a faction that's almost entirely reliant on hitting hard, hitting fast, and ending the battle as quickly as possible preferably with morale bombs.>Distinctive tankiness trait is that he's borderline immune to missile damage.>In a faction that, again, relies on getting on top of those missile units as fast as possible and breaking them before they get any shots off on the rest of their squishy army.>Specializes in chaos spawn.>In a faction with fucking minotaurs.
>>521099518Morghur in TTW doesn't even have 1/100 of the power he had on the tabletop. He was purpose designed to make the game unplayable for Wood Elf players and turn all their strength against them.
>>521096801I never understood why the same unit on the left side of the battlefield gets 170 kills and the same unit on the right side gets 20fighting the same kind of enemies
>>521098815Play DwarfsBuild deepsI made over $100k per turn from trade alone by turn 60-70.
ARCHERS.
>>521099518At least you can control him which is more than you could do in warhammer fantasy lol.
>>521098771Tigermen are all chaos aligned so it would make sense to let Warriors of Chaos use them too. Li Dao's quote in the load screens about Tigermen make it clear he views them same as Snakemen in the same quote.
>>521099865explain
>>521099518I had a friend who played Morghur BEFORE the Beastmen rework and focused on Chaos Spawn.I never understood but he still won and had fun.
>>521100770Won against what? Other players?
Tigermen (Female) when?
>>521100943Probably Slaanesh dlc with them as part of Dechala's army.
>>521100078BEHIND.
>>521100917He won against the computer
Does War hammer 3 have all the war hammer 2 assets?I want to play as the empire, but i can't remember if they're there or not.
>>521101050Is it even possible to lose against the AI?
>>521101227Yeah, just play Epirus This Is Total War
>>521090891>Not as much as IG or marinesSo basically unpopular40k is mostly just space marines and chaos now. Every so often you get an IG or something but sadly that's what GW is pushing mostly.
>>521101106yes
>>521101557Is that from some boomer game?
>>521101227Someone post "That" thing.
>>521101227I struggled with pre-rework beastmen onceI don't think I totally lost but I lost my main army and it was not easy to recover
Does the AI dodge spells much better on VH or is it my idea? Seems only way to land a bombardment is if they are engaged
>>521101980Yes, and artillery.
>>521100648Ok so. On the TT Morghur is represented as a demented leader you don't have any decision in which way he will move you throw a dice to decide in which direction he will mover forward. You don't have control over any of his abilities. But in return he gets certain benefits. First of all, all projectiles fired in his direction are turned into random junk which completely nullifies any and all ranged attacks on him. Second you can't cast spells against him any attempt is void and the caster turns into a spawn. Third anything that comes in proximity to him turns into a spawn without limit. This includes enemies and your own units. Fourth attacking him destroys your weapon and turns you into a spawn. Five, if Morghur is in a forest the forest starts damaging enemies that stand in it with no save oh and you can't leave the forest once you enter it so you will die anyway from aggregated damage. Also he's unbreakable, his melee attacks turn enemies into spawns(if they didn't attack him or he charged them before his aura turned them into a spawn). His talisman makes enemies less likely to hit him in melee. The game Morghur is a joke compared to this.
>>521102367How were you supposed to beat him?

Are we getting any news about the next DLC soon also I heard there was some mods or something or other news today was that important?
>>521102830Have you tried not being a filthy cheater? It stains your soul.
ARGAYON YOU BIG BALD FUCK I'M HERE FOR A THREE-EYED SKULL
>>521102532In a pure battle? Unlikely You need your melee lord charge him and kill him in a single turn(very unlikely). In objective battles you have to take all the objectives before his army. In the end he was so annoying and impossible to beat they nerfed him in 8th edition and gave enemies a chance to resist his abilities. He was still annoying but statistically easier to beat.
CA should really just do Warhammer 4.Base game races:>Gnoblar Horde(Neutral_>Hobogolbin Khanate(Neutral)>Khuresh(Chaos)>Tigermen(Chaos)>Ind(Neutral)>Nippon(Order)Gives us 6 base game races just like Warhammer 3. Lumbria can be the DLC race.

Should I?
>>521102905Literally look at the first post it has today's news linked.
>>521103114be a good boy ansd return it
>>521102953Shouldn't Lumbria be a base game race if they are going to appear? They literally occupy the only missing continent since they are Warhammer Australia.
>>521103114no bro the control and the diplomacy debuffs arent worth it
>>521101721Rome 2 has playable Epirus and a This Is Total War achievement for declaring war on each faction the moment you meet them. Yeah, I'm old....
>>521102923You know what also stains your soul? bugs.
>>521102953>>521103343lumbria has zero lore though besides we know it is a continent in between east of nippon and west of naggaroth and the inhabitants there only have contact with nippon, cathay, and ogres. no maps or anything or even what the inhabitants other then they have fangs and regenerative powers
>>521100645>Tigermen are all chaos alignedThat isn't true. There are normal villages of tiger people and many of them live in Cathay alongside humans and the monkey people. The beastmen of the east are not all chaos creatures but they're intelligent enough to side with chaos if the circumstances are right.
Beastbros...we got buck broken by a jabberslythe...
>>521103169>>521103483Can I give it up later without dying?I just got the chainsword and wanted to try that
>>521103841Andy Hall says there is a chaos tigermen village south of him that constantly attacks him so he has to nonstop kill them alongside the Monkey King.
>>521103914You get a few dilemmas where you can drop it.
Went back to TW2 for a bit and I don't understand how we went from such a sharp and well runing game to the pudding looking mess that is TW3. It's like they wereade by two different companies.
>>521103845>Calls himself a beastbro.>Clearly playing Tamurkhan the faggot lord.what do you mean by this?
>>521104187Anon...
>>521103841Old World has some lore and a map that shows a chaos aligned village of Tigermen to the east of Monkey King and South of Li Dao. Li Dao's quote in game points to him viewing them identical to the "serpents and nagas" of Khuresh.
nu-lore is so uninspired and recycled it's not even funny.
>>521103979>>521104303So? Li Dao can be as racist as he wants. There are tidbits of lore going back decades now and make it clear that at least some of the tigermen are alright and they aren't like the ra roo beastmen.
>>521104705You prefer old lore where Monkey King is also said to be a servant of Tzeentch instead of new lore saying he is just has a sense of humor instead?
>>521105293Talking animals that aren't liggers or dragons were servants of chaos without exception in old lore. Making exceptions is cringe nu-lore.
Does this game have any kind of attack-move function? I want my units to do the opposite of guard, I want them to move and engage any close units
>>521105748they already automatically attack any unit they collide with - you just don't get the charge bonus
>Just learned Nakai is the actual only lizardman left of the first spawning, making him even older than Mazda.That's fucking sick dude.
>>521105748CA can barely do move attack-move is well beyond their pay grade
foul disgusting Valkia MENSES all along where she flies, leaving a disgusting snail trail path
>>521105293>You prefer old lore where Monkey King is also said to be a servant of TzeentchSource? Because he specifically kicked a Tzeentch cultist out of Cathay
>>521106213>he specifically kicked a Tzeentch cultist out of CathayThat is new lore. Along with changeling being responsible for the rumors he is a servant of Tzeentch. Before he was known as a "chaos trickster of Tzeentch" that sent Tzeentch cultists to the Empire in the west.
>>521105293>You prefer old lore where Monkey King is also said to be a servant of TzeentchLiterally cultist propaganda
>>521106213That sounds exactly like what Tzeentch would do.
>>521106213old lore said he used to lead tzeentch forces against the celestial dragon monks of the south. new stuff says no actually he fights tzeentch and tigermen instead!
>>521106642Cathay is too smart for Tzeentch. Only Empire men are dumb enough to get infiltrated by chaos.
>>521106747NVBIA awaits conquest, Roman man...
>>521106642I thought old lore was that he had a different aspect for each chaos god

Speaking of old lore do you guys think the celestial dragon monk warriors are still going to breath fire and run faster than horses?
>>521105520The 6th edition beastmen army book says the opposite actually
>>521107691We live in the age of powercreep meta so they can have 120 speed, 40 ward save and 120 MD wouldn't be out of place in the DLC Cathay roster.
>>521106642Are you talking about Red Thirst? That is old lore. Has Master Po in it who is one of the celestial dragon monks.
>>521106843She'd fetch nigh on $2,000 at the auction block I tell you son.Be more if she were lighter, like a high yeller.
I'd like to try multiplayer but I'll get bullied.
>>521107783This is the perspective of a Empire retard. There are beastmen in Naggaroth that aren't goatmen.
>>521091307It's her turn.
There should be a way to link two armies together so you don't have to move two lords individually together.
>>521107691Not likely. Andy Hall said the celestial dragon monks will be a unit eventually but he said they are likely changing names which also likely means changed lore.https://youtu.be/vr-waUnCZ7g?si=_2btTARyn9flawnT&t=4504
she seems basedelfoids BTFO
>>521108102You can double down on being a retard faggot if you want but it's clear that GW has always been open to non-chaos beastmen and that the assumption otherwise is idiotic. This is a standard lore page, not an excerpt written from the perspective of a character.
>>521092023>that part of the map just north of KhureshIs that part of Li Dao's territory, or Yin-Yin's? I'm not sure because it's to the south, but it's also touching the ports.
>>521108618Li Dao rules the South. He fights Ind and Khuresh constantly to protect it. He even has a load screen quote about them and sometimes the Monkey King.
>>521108557Yin-Yin is Imrik's true dragon wife, not Meowing.
>Everyone posts blue hair anime girls for Yin-Yin meanwhile in the Cathay tabletop trailer she is shown as a turquoise dragon with black hair facing off against the gold dragon aka Li Dao.
How many human souls are trapped inside Miao Ying's ass fat?
>>521108598Keep inventing excuses. I don't care anymore. GW is adamant on ruining Fantasy with putting as much generic chink shit as possible. You can consume that slop all you like. I won't touch anything cathay/ind/kuresh related.
>>521108945those were the dragon emperor and moon dragon
>>521109162why would the gold dragon be holding the element of fire and the turquoise dragon be holding the element of water?

>>521104303>Old World has some lore and a map that shows a chaos aligned village of Tigermen to the east of Monkey King and South of Li DaoSorry fren but i have to call you a liar here.>TOW big interactive map:https://www.theoldworld.com/>Article with map released back when TWW3 was anounced:https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/1r2bPK7y/grand-cathay-is-mapped-for-the-first-time-in-warhammer-the-old-world/>Recent Article about TOW Cathay mini (map in video):https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/luce8te0/bring-harmony-to-the-old-world-with-the-armies-of-grand-cathay/The only time Tigers appear is in the latest video (with Miao Ying talking) and nothing seems to designate them as Chaos aligned.
>>521109769>hurr durr hurrrYour thoughts on the matter are irrelevant. You can also listen to the voiceover where Miao starts talking about yin and yang as this artwork comes on.
>>521109793>bring Rakarth to sea>no mention of Yin YinHe did say he broke a kraken once though
>>521109769that's literally just this dude in dragon form, and he's opposite his wifethat's the entire symbology of yin and yang retard, he's holding a symbol of Yang since it's his lore of magic his wife is the opposite and holding the Yin
>>521109905>listening to some slavoid who probably identifies as an orcKWAB
>>521109962why is the map showing li dao south of tigermen and monkey king? looks like ca is going to have to drastically change the immortal empire map
>>521108945Believe those are the parents that puts Yin-Yin in an awkward spot because now she doesn't have color for the 5 elements of China.
>>521110405where do you see li dao?anyway the map is warped to shit already, they almost certainly based it off of this master map
>mutant half tiger half man creature>"nothing seems to designate them as Chaos"
How the fuck did you get here
>>521110791Griffins are technically chaos mutants
>>521110405Li Dao IS south of Monkey King in the immortal empire map because his capital Fu Hung is southeast of where he will be.
wish they'd release the full artwork for download, it looks cool.
>>521110829rakarth start is just few blocks south west from there?
>>521111060It will probably be in the arcane journal once Cathay releases but the journals are so barebones with stuff like that so maybe not
Fucking Garagrim is so goddamn fucking squishy for a melee heroHe gets wrecked every single fucking big fight.Meanwhile his dad tanks entire armies.
>>521110405Monkey King should border the Haunted Forest where Helman Ghorst is and directly south of Balthazar Gelt and north east of Li Dao. He should be one able to attack 3 on turn one because of how close they are. Everyone else should be 2 turns from attacking each other. This is why I don't think Monkey King is a LL that and the old world map implies he is a hero with the icon he has.
>>521110829he's there for the longmas not you, did you really think an elf like him could resist the reptilian horse pussy?
>>521111094Not anymore.
>>521111176In a way, that makes Garagim a better Slayer than his father.
>>521111229Sorry meant northwest not northeast of Li Dao.
>>521110897As are celestial lions. Not every creature warped by magic is chaos affiliated and the tigermen will showcase that. The nagas are all chaos cunts though. My hope is that they are somehow corrupted lizardmen because I hate liggerfags
qrd on the ai changes? is it going to be like wh2 where border princes once in a blue moon emerge with a steam tank doomstack
>>521109962wonder what the Warhamer Monkey King will officially look like
>>521111229Which means if Monkey King is a legendary lord he has to be moved because otherwise he can turn 1 attack 3 different legendary lords. In game all legendary lords are at least two turns away from other legendary lords.

>>521111773>lightning strike
>>521110405
>>521111697I fucking hate how they do Monkey King, it's never a Rafiki old caster, and it's never a King Kong brute, it's always a fucking twink doing kung fu.They did it in Heroes of Newerth, they did it in Dota, they did it in LoL, they even did it in Heroes of the Storm. Never a fresh take, always the same.
>>521111613They are basically copying the AI from Dynasties. That's all. They should also run the siege spread calculation like they did on the Dynasties map so there is a even and minimal spread of sieges.
>>521111773no mongers?
>>521111942Li Dao is on the western side of the river not the east like you placed him. Khuresh is east of him.
>>521111942map is wrong, Ulthuan is right across a small straight from Bretonnia
>>521111954It's what the Chinise audiance expects so they have to follow that

>>521112037arbaal doesn't boost them at all
https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Map:Immortal_Empires_FactionsHere is the immortal empire map. Li Dao's capital Fu-Hung is directly on the border of Khuresh and Ind on the western side of the river. He is southeast of where Monkey King would be. He can attack Balthazar Gelt within two turns or Nakai.
>>521112367Pretty sure they're mortal infantry.
>>521112159>It's what the Chinise audiance expectsWhy does it have to be generic chinkod trash? People say that dark elves are the representation of the USA but show me US battle stripper lore? There is non. GW should stop going into generic rice shit.
Kostaltyn you cheap motherfuckerThis was his auto balance deal offer
>>521112493they are but you need to hover over his trait to see what is boostedit's chaos warriors, chosen, chaos knights, skullcrushersmortal units but not necessarily dlc units you see
>>521111773jesus I had the thriving sword of khaine and that was still extremely close
>>521112559Kek that's like living relatives you exactly hate 1 cent so they know you fucking hated them after you died
>>521112493He gives chosen/warriors hellblade which is a massive boon. With Skar they the mongers would be better but without Armored boys are just better bang for buck.

>>521113179Sad that TW3 has no good lines.
>>521113204I mean I don't have anything against it but if you've got that much of a jacked up army and you're playing Khorne you'd think you'd want more things to bonk.
>>521112543>Why does it have to be generic chinkod trash?beouce adding Sun Wukong is to pander to them and nothing more. Dark elves were not made to pander to Americans so that why they have some elements US audience might not like

>>521113897Sorry but you have to be the emperor of your state to challenge me.
>>521113472they were pandering back in 1999?
Serious question. How can you realistically have Monkey King, Li Dao, and Yin-Yin as playable lords if there is only 4-5 dlcs left realistically and one is dogs of war?
>>521113952Technically it's a recorded for a TW2 DLC.
>>521113387SPIRIT OF GRUNGNI, TAKE ME TO MY DOOMGOLGFAG DA LEGENDTHOMMIN YOU FOOL
>>521113897sorry but you need to post full size images to challenge me
>>521113472>Dark elves were not made to pander to AmericansNo they weren't. DE have noting to do with the US. They are quite literally based on Feanor and his spawn going north and becoming retards.
>>521114151FLC LLs and LHs.Pretty good chance they'll just add Monkey King as a LH and simply add monkey warriors with Li Dao's DLC. Yin-Yin is either a different DLC, or FLC released with Li.
>>521114151Monke is DLC, Li Dao is FLC, Yin Yin is no longer a planned playable lord
>>521114085Beasts in Velvet is even older than Sold Down the River, from 1991i can't believe they were pandering to chinks even back then...
>>521113204>Legend said
>>521114151>4-5 DLCs leftBro....they put out one every 8 months and they're announcing two new titles this year. Do the maths.
>>521114391Why would Li Dao the guy with all the lore units tied to him be FLC? FLC legendary lords can only buff and start with base game units or FLC units in their factions effects. It would be beyond stupid to night have warrior monks in Li Dao's starting army. If that was the scenario it would make way more sense to make Monkey King the FLC and have monkey men as a FLC unit for him.
what was today's news blog groodges didn't link it in his vid
Warhammer 3 doesn't need new Lords/factions/units, it needs new maps.

>>521113897She would eat Karl Franz whole
I smell a pivot. Get ready boys.
>>521114882Sorry meant new Total war not new warhammer. Also I am highly expecting them to delay 40k since they almost always delay games 6ish months from when they were suppose to actually release.

>>521115686FILL CROW'S BEAK WITH PUS!
I don't get the problem.Both in the map and in the game Fu Hung is further east and further south than the Tigermen Village.
>>521113387"You may touch me only in dreams."
>>521115971Hkrul is that you?
>>521113992I could be an Italian Count if I sucked up to the right relatives, but we are mad at that half of the family
WE HAVE MOCKED THEM ALL
>>521113387WHAT WAS THATI DONT KNOW
Don't forget to recruit your Chaos Warshrines of Nurgle. That area of effect regeneration passive is incredible.
>>521116578Cultists and sorcerers get them as mounts which kind of makes them redundant.
>>521116578Why would I do that when the chaos sorcerer gets the warshrine and has a damage aura? Basically a better mortis engine
>>521116664>>521116694Ah, true followers of the Ur-father. Nurgle's blessings upon you.
>>521116578one problem is that the ai really likes to shoot warshrines
I may be playing as the nastiest cruelest most horrible demon in the multiverse, when I play the AI always feels like the villain - bunch of nasty backstabbing overly aggressive cunts full of bile and hatred, I bet I treat my subjects better than they do in those border-gored non-upgraded wastelands they call home
>>521117339From my point of view the empire is evil.
>>521117540That's the plot to the Tamurkhan book.
>>521117339i almost miss the anti player bias where in wh2 you would play karl franz and regularly get notices like "bloody spearz has got karaz a karak to go to war against you"
>>521117691I call him fagurfag because he's gay
>teleport to the middle of the Empire>shit out five Blood Hosts in one turn>teleport out while your shitters destroy everything until they finally perishthis campaign is ridiculous
>>521116239Maybe.
>>521117691Sounds like the book had the right idea. Elspeth was fooling around with the Nemesis crown and got herself killed without any Chaos involvement.
I think I love cannons bros........Just watched Throgg eat about 10 cannonballs to the face at once and instantly break
>>521114151I tried it. Only way I can think of it they have to go full CoC style for Cathay otherwise there no way they can realistically do it unless Monkey King is a LH and Yin-Yin is FLC.>Slaanesh(Dechala)/Norsca(Mortkin)/High Elves(Aislinn)/FLC(Styrkaar)>Dogs of War(Lorenzo/Borgio/Lucrezzia/Lumpin)/FLC(Ghark Ironskin)>Vampire Counts Bloodlines(/Harakhte,Neferata,Ushoran,Zacharias)/FLC(Red Duke)>Cathay CoC style(Daddy Emperor, Li Dao, Yin-Yin, Monkey King)/FLC(Egrimm)>End Times(Bugman, Caradryan, Nagash, Thanquol, Valten)/FLC: AralothBoris Todbringer and some units for a Skulls event and a LH in another.
>>521116193slaanesh all around has some good lines all around, too bad the voice acting for n'kari sounds like a retarded ghost
>>521119789The worst voice actor is Archaon.Alas he was sold as "bonus Lord" for WH1 so it's just an intern doing a pathetic growl voice.
>>521120179I'LL HAVE THIS WORLD is pretty good though.
>>521114151>>521119146Wrong you can do a Monkey King vs Li Dao dlc with Yn-Yin FLC and be done 5 DLCs with the last 2 being small ones.>Dechala-Sayl-Caradryan-Masque(FLC)>Harakhte-Neferata-Ushoran-Zacharias-Red Duke(FLC)>Borgio-Lorenzo-Lucrezzia-Lumpin-Egrimm(FLC)>Monkey King-Li Dao-Yin-Yin(FLC)>Nagash-Valten-Todbringer(FLC)>Skulls25: Thanquol>Skulls26: Bugman
Whats the best LL if I wanna build lots of sneaky cults and spread lots of plagues
>>521121357queek
>>521120179What's so bad about him? He's a generic chaos guy and he sounds like a generic chaos guy?
>>521120920>5 DLCs left, when each one takes 8+ months>LL for skulls event, when they've never done that before>assuming every DLC gets a free Legendary Lord, which hasn't consistently been the case thus far
>>521122004CA will pivot into faster DLC releases.
>>521121357skrolk
>>521122004Does the map even have space for more LLs?
>>521122082Yeah if you stack them on top of each other.
>>521122082the map still has plenty of space, especially if ca opens up some unplayable territoriesits not a crime for 2 lls to start next to one another
Well now that my first Arbaal campaign is over, who should I try next to catch up? Skulltaker? Gorbad?
>>521122004Smaller DLCs take less time to release. CA themselves said during Shadows of Change original it takes them less time to develop DLCs like race packs or CoC style dlcs since they only have to focus on a single race. Plus going to down to 2 way DLCs after that means quicker releases. CA also said FLC LLs with all future DLCs when they released ToD.
>>521114356and Elric
>>521122082Every single LL I placed here has a spot on the map verified. If you want to know where specifically to fit a LL in the list ask me. The only one that requires them to adjust the map is Monkey King otherwise he can't fit.
>>521122692>d FLC LLs with all future DLCs when they released ToD.SoC and hyenas at the same time really gave them some major ptsd.

I like playing tall, and have never played Ku'gath, or any other nurgle faction. Would he be alright for it?
>>521123230Hyenas got cancelled a month before release after they were literally shoveling all their total war profits into it for years. Then they got 60% of their workforce laid at the low estimates. That would scare anyone shitless.
>>521121357>>521085735>>521123869No such thing as playing tall in total war unless you're using the dwarf deeps mechanic.
>>521124706Well can you tell me about plagues? Are they fun? Is it possible to plague enormous swathes of the world?
>>521105293Reading old lore right now (i mean, i guess you are talking about the Genevieve books) and Monkey King is clearly anti-Tzeentch.One of the antagonists is the fake ambassador cultist of Tzeentch and he want revenge on Monke.funny how he is the "Monkey King ambassador" in Altdorf, not Dragon Emperor one clearly old lore
>>521124706>warriors of chaos do it badly>ogres only have camps>wood elves have like ten settlements on the map and four of them are next to each otherI wish we had proper hordes though, khorne and daemon prince would have made good ones.
>>521124992Not really? There's a 3 turn cooldown on each symptom used. Then there's a spread limitation per plague. Your best bet would be to spam cultists (regular ones), establish cults, and then trigger the plague building. There's a 15 turn cooldown to establishing cults though.
>>521124706>No such thing as playing tall in total warBabylon in Dynasties.
>>521123365How many of those are lines from TWW3?

Which dwarf artillery pieces are most worth using?
>>521135998Grobi lobbers
!!
>>521134589Masque is completely redundant as a LL because of Dechala. They are both just speedy melee lords that would boost the same units. At least Styrkaar would be a calvary boosting LL which Slaanesh needs since half of their roster is calvary.
>>521135836if you never played kangz you may or may not enjoy them, they have a very specific playstyle but they're good at one they dotomb kings have had very little updates on the migration to immortal empires so their campaign feels a little "off" but its still playable
Cavill was a fat nerd but he pretty much figured out he needed to chadify himself by 15, not like he spent his later teen or early adult years as a dork
Which LL does /twg/ want? Not many options left. I had to scrap the bottom of the barrel for these 34 choices. Most of them come from about 4 races. Dechala not included because she was already announced.https://strawpoll.com/jVyG23WzKZ7

>>521136592>No Shadowblade.>No Naieth.>No Ghorros.>No Bugman.>No Apophas.And on another note, I can't believe the Helves really don't have any other female LLs than Alarielle.
If the Red Duke is added as the sole Blood Dragon LL I'll flip shit. We need the ACTUAL Blood Dragon lord, head of the Order, Walach Harkon.
Arbaal has ruined me.He is too much fun and no other lord feels as fun as they used to.

>>521136592Apophas ?
>>521135171You don't
>>521137209Shadowblade is LH material. Ghorros is the same. Apophas can't even get skeletons to follow him because he is so unpopular among the tomb kings because of his loyalty to Nagash. Also Bugman IS in the list. I voted for him!
>>521137261Grace CA strikes again.
>>521137916Likely Nagash's legendary hero for his dlc.
>>521138137>Also Bugman IS in the list. I voted for him!I looked again for him in the "results" page, didn't find him. Ctrl + F'd him, zero results. Back away to picking what to vote, Ctrl + F'd again, suddenly he was there.What the fuck?

>>521139721Nagash was already deconfirmed so you can take that off the list.
>>521136592I voted for Aislinn, Galrauch, Bohemond Beastslayer, Ramhotep the Visionary and Ghark Ironskin

>>521143062I voted for all of those except Crom, Ramhotep, and Egrimm. Styrkaar is badly needed for Slaanesh for calvary.
>>521143062For me its Li Dao, Bugman, and Tetto
>>521143062I like calvary lords which is why I voted for Kurt, Ghark, and Styrkaar.
>>521143062For me it's Neferata, Li Dao and Yin-Yin, Bugman, Tetto, Bohemond, Ghark and Mortkin. Also Moonclaw and Thanquol if they come with cool mechanics.
>>521075387so what are the next factions in the dlcs? slanesh and?
>>521131192You'd definitely have time, but it wouldn't be a great way to go.

>>521144889Dwarfs and Lizardmen
>>521145479well that sucks
>>521145951Don't worry, Legend called them out on it and said that they will pivot.

>>521149168Continue whispering sweet nothings into his ear while pounding his juicy grimgussy.
>>521148952It wasn't even his achievement, but bald manlet betraying everyone for no reason.And even before that, the only reason his invasion successed was because Teclis constantly fucking up order powers to force them side with Nagash.At least in storm of chaos, his invasion was well planned, and chaos just sucked ass at doing aything worthy
Total Warhammer 3 but the map only has Pigbarter as a region and settlement and every faction starts at itAt war
>>521149592>Teclis constantly fucking up order powers to force them side with Nagash.I still cannot believe to what degree GW character assassinated Teclis.Somehow CA treat his character with more respect by acknowledging that Teclis was always about uniting the order factions in a diplomatic way. Not backstabbing every single ally he has to empower someone as evil as Chaos because he doesn't believe anyone else can stand up to it (a belief that didn't even make any fucking sense given Nagash got beaten before).
>>521149168>*cuts off your head*mad?

>>521150591Legend said it was coming based on his insider sources.
Anyone who wants Warhammer 40k or WW1 TW is an idiot who doesn't understand the basic mechanics of the franchise.
>>521136592Yin-Yin s-sisters w-what do we do!? We can't let it end like this not like this! We need to help our trans icon win and need to lower the terf neferata!
>>521150685Yeah, 40k wouldn't make sense since their average 'unit' size is like thousands of guardsmen.
>>521150664i genuinely burst out laughing, thanks anon, i really needed that
>>521150664Legend didn't say that. Legend said that Star Wars TW is coming.
>>521150685their engine can barely handle the current games, let alone modern type warfare with no formations, let alone futuristic space stuff, they would need to do anything from scratch, we've talked about this in detail so many times but here we are every day having to explain why pears can't grow from apple trees
>>521150743
>>521150887besides all the obvious problems of making a star wars/warhammer 40k total war games, in the case of star wars there aren't even enough factions for a total war game
What the hell did the new patch do to the AI
>>521149846To be fair GW fucked everyone out of spite for what happened with Storm of Chaos, but it was still retarded for them to do what they did to Teclis.

>>521151242There absolutely are. 40K or Star Wars or LotR will be next because they're the only way to sell mass DLC. You need a setting with lots of recognizable characters to keep the DLC train rolling. The paypigs will absolutely shill out to play as Grim von Derpstein, Flob Starfucker, and Dildo Proudarse. It's actually incredibly how badly CA fucked up 3K; it was prime DLC material and then they decided the collapse of the Jin Dynasty was somehow the best move.
>>521153332Closing it is trans erasure
frankly the only major IPs that make any sense for a total war game are LOTR and GoT
>>521153332>people voting for StyrkaarThis is far more concerning than people voting for Yin-Yin
>>521153369Thanks for confirming you're a retard.The actual reason why 40K, SW, and LotR won't happen is because none of them are good fits for the TW formula.>40K and SWThe engine needs to be completely reworked to handle both squad based warfare and general modern warfare. TW is NOT Company of Heroes.>LotRWon't work for the same reason why American Civil War is a bad fit. You need a free for all setting, not a binary X vs Y fight.
>>521153505Looking at the votes it is showing the Styrkaar people are almost always the people voting for Boris and Neferata.

This is the company that thought Hyenas was a good idea. Warhammer wasn't a good fit for Total War because the engine can't properly handle SEUs, and the AI can't handle magic. Didn't stop them. Won't stop them.>You need a free for all setting, not a binary X vs Y fight.Third Age has consistently been one of the more popular Total War mods. It also doesn't have to be Binary X vs Y.

how do i get the other one? is it just random?
This bait sucksGet better bait, like saying the sequels are better than the prequels and defending it
>>521148952
>>521154250They don't need to put in work. Skirmish formation gun infantry have been in Total War since Empire. They'll just make every unit a lose formation skirmish unit (melee, ranged, or hybrid). Vehicles will be easily done by working from the existing chariot and SEU systems.Will it be shit? Yes. Will CA do? Obviously? Will it sell like hotcakes? Certainly. it's the only way to go. Historical Total Wars won't sell that well anymore. They can't do a new Warhammer because it will never live up to the volume of content that combined Warhammer 1-3 has. They've got to pivot to a new setting and 40K is far more popular than Fantasy.
>>521154635historical total wars sell, they just have to be good like 3K, and not cover shit poop periods like ancient egypt
>>521154635It's more complicated than "just use skirmisher formation", RETARD. You need cover mechanics, support weapon mechanics, actual vehicle mechanics, aircraft, etc etc. CA will not fucking do it, their engine cannot handle it and they're not going to fix the engine.You are right about one thing though, the Empire/Shogun 2 engine was the closest thing to a modern era TW; but we are so far away from that and never going back.
>>521150685Same with people wanting flying units.
Polio took-took!
>>521154741I'll cover your shit with poop, asshole. Ancient Egypt is cool.
>>521155116If its so cool whys it the biggest flop in Total War history
>>521154635modern warfare is not based on formations whatsoever, not even loose formations, the differences are too foundational
>>521154890>You need cover mechanicsLiterally already done by CA.>Support weapon mechanicsWhat are weapon teams? For five dollars.>actual vehicle mechanicsVehicles already exist. The only thing that might prove challenging is troop carrier mechanics for things like Rhinos and Chimeras. But CA have done garrison mechanics and deployable troops before, see Rome 2 amphibious battles.>AircraftGenuinely not needed. Aircraft were confined to Forge World for a long time, the game can work without them.Warhammer 1 was a lazy cash grab, and Warhammer 40K will start the same way.
>>521155205Because nu-tw fans hate historical units and prefer fantasoi monster mashing with magic mixed in.
Looks like formations to me
>>521153557isn't start wars a bad fit for bot reasons?star wars is always a X vs Y fight, empire vs rebels, republic vs confederation....
Maybe the real siege rework were the friends we ripped the spines out of along the way
>>521155396ah yes historical units like...*checks notes*Female Khopesh Warriors
>>521155434If you painted the Zaku Red, it would probably go faster.>>521155223>40K>Modern Warfarelol. And 40K is based on units in skirmish formation. It's just how the rules work. The biggest issue with a 40K total war is that 40K battles are based around LoS, which means way more buildings than in Fantasy. And the AI really fucking struggles with terrain in total war. Doubt it will stop CA when all the see is potential revenue from the paypigs.
>>521155505I would actually say SW is fine for bot reasons, as it actually can start as a FFA , move into a factional fight, and then have a 'twist' with Palpatine's betrayal or the CIS equivalent.The real problem with SW is it's modern warfare, and TW can't do anything remotely after the 20th century.>>521155358>let's just have a bunch of mechanics that already don't work and hope CA will fix itRetard.

Why can't CA (a Bri'ish company) team up with Relic (a Bri'ish colony company) to make TW:WH40k instead of Relic making DoW3.
I just want for 40k that they put in Battlefleet Ghotic Armada space ship battles in the game. That would be so cool.

>>521158018"Blobbing" is a term in CoH where you just mash several infantry squads together, TW isn't squad based (which is the entire problem), all you've done is confirm you haven't played CoH either.
>>521157693You're right, anything with two entities in what remotely looks like a formation is Total War viableTotal War: Deep Rock Galactic because everyone forms up under the shieldTotal War: Bloons TD because the bloons march in formations into a formation of monkeysTotal War: Fallout because I get attacked by formations of NCR Rangers that want to give me free ammo
