I know the War of Sand and Snow was a big war that people were hoping for a book on (at some point in the nebulous future), but what would they realistically do for it?
I feel like both of the unique armies the could have added are already in the Arcane Journals (Nehekharan Royal Host and Wolves of the Sea), and they wouldn't have any new characters to add, because we already have Settra and nobody cares about Khagul Bloodfist.
They could add scenario battles and special rules for playing games in Nehekhara and Norsca, but that wouldn't really be enough to justify a campaign book.
The only thing I can think to do to actually flesh out the campaign book, is to have Arkhan be the one to encourage the Norscan invasion, and then have him try and take over Nehekhara while Settra is away as some great scheme, and have half the book focus on that.

>>
>>94685537
>involve arkhan
Why? Its a simple story that doesent need much more. Some norse raiders invaded, killed settra and stole all his shit. Settra got better, founf out all his shit was stolen and went to go get it back: queue the story of his campaigns and the various people he has to fight to get it back.

If you want to flesh it out, actually explore that. Did the wealth influx to norsca shift the balance of power, did it have a destabilizing effect where you now have some very wealthy and storied raiders using their newfound loot to finance attempted conquests? Did they trade some of it away? Maybe to the norse dwarfs that are their neighbours.

If you need some new characters you can explore some more of settras forces, not like nekaph is the only noteworthy dude the greatest king of nehekhara has in his service, and then you have plenty of space for varioys chaos/ogre/greenskin/dwarf characters as the enemies he has to face, empire too if some marineburger ended up with some coins he shouldnt have.

My Bretonnian Exiles will be a free company of /mydoods/, I'm basing them off of a mixture of old official art, historical Hundred Years' War armies, historical mercenaries, and shitty medieval historical fantasy pulp manga.
My lore for them is they were literally who no-name Errants who survived that one battle scenario between Sir Cecil Gastonne and Settra and then got waylaid in Tilea, now they're a huge veteran merc company adventuring off doing their own thing.

>>94685779
That is how editions are differentiated, yes, but that's not sufficient to assess an edition's worth. There's more to an edition being good or bad than simply "infantry good" or "dragons op". If an anon wants to defend 8th, he ought to at least form complete arguments. 8th isn't a bad game - there are plenty of valid reasons to like it. There's a reason many competitive players consider it to be the best edition (even if I personally think they couldn't be further from the truth). I don't want to argue about which edition is better. I want anons to formulate proper arguments when defending their point! I want to understand why people like 8th ed! I want to understand why they don't, too.

It doesn't really count because I play chaos, but I continued building an army I had originally started to play 6th and themed my army around characters that I named myself, each bearing the mark of chaos undivided and my regiments, which I also named, bearing a variety of marks. So, in a sense, I did do /mydudes/.

>>94687133
Yes, but only in one, maybe two, extremely niche scenarios. If your BSB does not have a magic standard and you don't need the +1 combat resolution he can provide, it can be smart to keep him behind your regiments so that he doesn't get shot to death. However, that's a completely retarded thing to do because he'd be safer in an actual unit thanks to Look Out Sir. The second scenario would be if your BSB had some form of shooting, such as the RRR, the banner of wrath in 6th or just a bow or a gun of some sort, you might want to keep him moving as an independent character for the sake of LOS and not getting stuck in combat.
Remember that your BSB is incredibly important for you and incredibly valuable for your opponent. Keep him alive at all costs.

It's also, in this instance, a fucking stupid argument because infantry in 8th was terrible unless employed in very specific, very limiting ways and was hard-countered by any army with sufficient spellcasting. At least in 6th a sufficiently competent general could outplay cavalry they couldn't outfight head-on, in 8th you just mashed your big blobs into your enemy's big blobs in the middle of the table and hoped the dice were kind - or they did have sufficient magic and your blobs just evapourated. The idea that 8th has anything to do with intelligence is genuinely a hilarious joke, it was the most braindead fantasy game GW ever made until they made AoS.

>>94687133
Plenty. If you put it on a large target, you get a big bsb bubble. Some people swear by putting them on a heavy chariot with a war banner / other combat res banner. Being solo can help the bsb avoid combat.
Personally, I like having a captain on pegasus with dragon bow and bsb. He's hyper mobile for repositioning / dodging combat and has decent little plinking shots. I might also start putting the hammerhand armour on him so he is at least somewhat threatening if he charges into a side or something.

Anons if I place a unit buffing character or spell upon a regimental unit does the effect spread to the wings/detachments? I can't find clarification in book or blind.
>>
>>94688826
Special rules and abilities don't splash unless otherwise stated, page 282 The core rulebook says a regiment splashes Frenzy, Hatred, Immune to Psychology, and Stubborn to its detachments if the detachments are within 3", on page 283. I don't think any other rules specify that they splash.

Haven't played 6th edition but heard TOW ends up playing rather similar from pretty much everybody who has. Heroes, monsters, and cav are the meta. Combat res is set up so it's hard for anything but super chaffy units to break after the first round of combat. Magic is split into spell categories that each get cast in different parts of the turn, and it is very powerful. Unfortunately level 4 or bust. In terms of it's better or worse though, more people seem to say 6th is better but not by a huge margin.
>>
>>94688921
In this hypothetical, he could have the magnifier to make the outriders better, while also casting the summoning at +3.

>>94688940
>>94688921
Also, if he gets daemonic vessel, the outriders could get an extra point of ap.

No way, TOW is too popular. Warbands is perfect for new players who want to dip a toe in the game. I'd bet that we get a Warbands book eventually, after all the core armies are out. And I'd bet they'll do FOMO Warbands discount boxes along side it.

A free PDF now would be a fun thing for existing players. A big deal launch later, when all the core armies are out and there's a mature community around TOW, would be a perfect onramp for new players.

Can I have some quick concepts for short WFRP scenarios? My friends just asked me to run a one-shot for them on New Year's Eve and I'm a bit out of inspiration when it comes to fantasy currently
>>
>>94687563
Well, let's first consider why people are running the mark of Nurgle. Making your opponent re-roll 6s to hit in the combat phase means your lord avoids poisoned attacks often and is generally harder to hit. This is incredibly helpful, as it lets him stay alive longer and lets you cheap out on defensive magic items.
On the other hand, the mark of Slaanesh gives you +1 initiative during the first round of combat and allows you to ignore all panic tests. That's not bad, by any means. However, the reason why competitive players aren't playing slaaneshi lords on dragons is because the mark doesn't really do anything for you, as a) your dragon lord will almost certainly be getting the charge, which already gets you a pretty fat initiative bonus, meaning the extra +1 initiative doesn't really matter in most situations, b) your dragon lord will not be getting panicked (though it is still nice to be able to ignore it if it does happen, see curse of cowardly flight).
However, none of that matters. The real reason why competitive players take the mark of Nurgle is because it's the best mark for a chaos lord on a dragon. They don't care about why their chaos lord worships Nurgle. They aren't painting him up special and with love. They're just picking the mark that the math tells them to pick.
If you want to take a lord with the mark of Slaanesh, you should definitely do it. In fact, once you paint him up, post him in the thread so we can look at him and say how cool he is.
As for how you'd build him, probably the same way everyone else builds their dragon lord(s). Lance, shield, dragon (this is the important part), crown of everlasting conquest, enchanting aura, something like that. Alternatively, you could give him more thematic magic items, but that's up to you.
>>

>PC show up in place

Okay, about the Warhammer RPG...
So I rolled a character, I rolled a race, a job, and stats. I got a retarded human noble, and whatever.
I understand that I get 50% off for skills and talents that are listed on the class sheet, but the part I keep not understanding is how the fuck do I do anything at all. The book explains there are modifier like +30 if very easy, +0 if normal, and so on, but it doesn't seem to explain what exactly I need to do. I thought I needed to roll under my stat to succeed, but it doesn't work with the +30 easy modifier.
Could someone please explain? Sorry in advance, it's probably explained somewhere but I missed it.

Horus Heresy got a Zone Mortalis expansion shortly after the 2nd edition launch and then a full update in one of their campaign books. It's quite odd GW didn't try to bait people not willing to build big armies with a White Dwarf ruleset. It would require next to no effort on their side.
>>
>>94689468
TOW has way higher growth potential than Horus Heresy
>>
>>94689462
+30 bonus is added to your stat value for sake of a given test, not to the roll result. So if you have 30 in a stat and get a +30 modifier you need to roll under 60 to succeed. Do I understand correctly that this is the part you're confused about?
>>
>>94689480
I believe so. But to be sure, this is something like:
>roll to punch Karl Franz in the testicle
>got a strength of 39
>got a skill of testicle punching 2
>get +20 modifier because he's not wearing a cod piece
>(39+2+20)= 61
>roll 1d100
>roll 60
>Karl Franz falls to his knees, crying
Is that correct?
But then what about degrees of success? It's +1 degree for every different of 10 between the target and the dice got, right?
>>
>>94689462
rolling a noble is pretty lucky
as for roll modifiers i always thought that was meant to increase the bar you have to roll under not adding a 30+ to the roll itself

Ah, so it's 4th edition clusterfuck of an advancement system

Anyway, yes, you are correct, except the actual effect of the attack depends on damage and stuff, which indeed depends on degrees of success among other things, per the combat rules. And yeah, every 10 you suceed/fail by is 1 extra degree of success/failure
Also, you roll weapon skill, not strength, to hit somebody. Strength does increase melee damage though
>>
>>94689479

By what you've said I'm 90% sure it's the 4th one, but here are the covers of all editions' core rulebook covers in order, from 1 to 4. Although some regional editions have different covers.

2 and 4 are most popular picks, they both have their pros and cons in my opinions but ultimately aren't extremely different from each other. 4 is a bit more crunchy. 1st edition still has a following as well for a bit more old school vibe. 3 was weird and much more game'y. It's mostly forgotten, but does have a small niche of fans as well

I'm sitting on about 50 of the old Diaz daemonettes and I'm wondering the same. Unfortunately they don't look too good rules wise, so I'm happy sticking to using them as witch elves for daughters of khaine in AoS. Maybe looking into dark elves for rules in ToW is not a bad idea.

I mean, the Eisenhorn books made it clear that even a normal Chaos Space Marine is a beast, but in Warhammer Fantasy, it feels even more impressive.
It also means that the Ubersreik Five are pretty amazing themselves to face Chaos Warriors and kill them rather easily.
It's somehow inspiring and pretty amazing that "normal" humans can stand against damned and win.

>>94689623
Nah, I checked the printing notes, it was the 4E. It also looks like the far right now. But that second from the left looks fucking cool.
And I already love 4E because the amount of crap there's in, I love it. So many ways to die, and so many gods I didn't even know existed. I want to play a duelist of Myrmydia, one that never attacks an enemy in the back.
>>
>>94689632
I mean I don't care about having a top tier army but I'd like to win some of the games at least so I have questions about units.

>It also means that the Ubersreik Five are pretty amazing themselves to face Chaos Warriors and kill them rather easily.
Video games always have skewed powerscales in any direction. Imagine them in WFRP 4e, the horde rules alone would mean that the characters get easily overwhelmed.
On the other hand, characters in 4e can get pretty strong. The systems deadliness tends to be vastly overstated (aside from throwing multiple trolls at your characters at the start of the game).

>>94689588
I know how you feel. I play a lot of rank and flank games, but due to player availability I find myself playing TOW more often than not. The problem is that the rules really are a bit shittier than a lot of other rank/flank games, the only explanation I can think of as to why TOW has a lot of available players is simply because it's a GW IP, not because it's a superior game. The majority of players have NEVER played a single game not produced by GW, and the few that have tried other games have only played other pop culture slop like Marvel Crisis protocol or Star Wars, etc.
>>
>>94689675
im pretty sure the ubersreik five have official 4e stat lines
>>
>>94689688
And that doesn't change what I said.
Four of them fighting a chaos warrior isn't the problem, but I bet they would have some problems dealing with the amount of skaven they usually face during the missions.
>>
>>94689640
>Ubersreik Five are pretty amazing themselves to face Chaos Warriors and kill them rather easily.
Don't equate gameplay from vidya to lore. Vermintide was most accurate in the first game where a Skaven chieftain was a massive threat to the whole party.
>>94689652
Ask them. I'm no expert on ToW and especially not on daemons, but I'm happy to try and help a fellow degenerate appreciator. Some anons with more experience might pipe up too.
>I envy you.
I got a good deal on them, but it was still pretty expensive. The new hedonite models were just too good not to start a small collection. Unfortunately slaanesh relied on summoning and spamming KoS, so the rules never interested me.

>>94689676
New to this, could I get some recommendations of rank and flank systems you think are better? A short explanation of why you think so would also be greatly appreciated

That's the sad part, Warhammer is officially pop culture slop instead of being a niche space fantasy setting for mildly autistic right wing men.

The Amazon show is the nail in the coffin

>>94689742
I started with 40k before moving to Fantasy. I've tried a few non GW games, and most of them are too dead to want to get into. I collected an army for ASOIAF before coming to the conclusion that I be hate the rules. I wouldn't say I'm a Warhammer fan specifically, but there's not really a better option around me with an active player base, cool minis, and decent rules. Might start Conquest but the one Conquest mini I built fit together the worst of any mini I've built, and it's kinda hit or miss on how the armies look.
>>
>>94689719
Too bad in my country they're pretty rare to find and whoever has them does not want to sell theirs. I don't see myself being able to get diazmonettes in the near future.

>Are seeker chariots and hellflayers worth it?

repose those legs
>>
>>94689964
No, chaos warriors have 1 more point of weaponskill and 1 more point of leadership.
>>
>>94689971
So I guess chosen are out of the question as well
>>
>>94689986
Yes. Beastmen are generally cheaper than chaos warriors (and especially chosen) and are therefore less powerful individually. However, if you meant to ask if a unit of bestigors is on par with a unit of chaos warriors in terms of power and utility, I would say the bestigor unit is significantly stronger right now.
>>
>>94689964
No, theyre MUCH better. You get +1M and warband to reroll failed charges, and you have primal fury to let you reroll 1s to hit.
In return chaos warriors get +1WS and +1LD (and worse weapons).

Bestigors are very good, especially for infantry, chaos warriors are absolute crap.

You're the first one who talked about people from the past in lenses of modern left/right wing politics you retard.

In the few games I've played, I haven't actually faced a single chariot, but from what I've heard they are what you generally want to bring alongside cavalry.
>>Should I have two lvl 2 wizard heralds leading the army or get for the same amount of points a lvl 2 wizard daemon prince? I'm not really considering a keeper because it seems too strong for smaller games of 1k
I'd say DP, as having a good beatstick is pretty vital in ToW
>>Should I put my daemonettes all together in a huge unit of 30+ or divide them into two smaller units?
Smaller units. Infantry isn't great in the current rules to begin with, and concentrating them into a huge block doesn't count for much.
>>Should I even consider furies when I have seekers?
Vanguard isn't nothing, and having a relatively cheap skirmishing unit out on the field can cause a good disruption where you need it. I wouldn't count them out completely, but I'd focus on seekers.

Like I said though, I've only played so many games and none with daemons. Take everything I've said with a grain of salt, but I hope it helps and I wish you luck in your games anon.
>>
>>94689849
If you want to use a daemon prince but you still want to use a proper slaaneshi model, you could hunt down one of the old metal keepers of secrets. They're about the size of a daemon prince and they fit on a 50x50mm base. I have no other advice to give beyond that, but I'm really looking forward to seeing your army. Slaanesh armies are always beautiful.

Not a single lord level character (besides a level 4 wizard) would mow through as many enemies as the players do in your average veteran level match of VT2. A level 4 wizard is lore-wise extremely rare, they're everywhere on the tabletop because you can't compete without one.
As for what tier they are, going by the career titles in the first game they're elite infantry/low tier hero. At best they get to Hero tier in 2. Still not enough to kill 1000+ rats and chaos worshippers in the span of 30 minutes. Nothing in the setting besides an Archaon tier character could achieve something like that.

I said they'd be considered right wing TODAY, to which anon said they were leftists. I'm comparing ancient morality to modern morality, it doesn't matter how they were in their times, because I'm making comparison to the morality of TODAY, in which case it's ridiculous to call them leftists.
Regardless of all of that, the idea that they were not conservative or traditional for their own era is completely made up and has no actual historical bearing, it's based on the premise that MODERN art fags tend to be more left leaning, so it makes the assumption that this must have been the case throughout all of history but it's simply false and a baseless claim. We can go all the way back to ancient history and see Aeschylus at the end of his life wanting to be remembered for his valor in battle at Marathon, he doesn't mention his creative work once despite being the most famous artfag of his era. We see this same thing for all of history with the supposed "leftist" creative types, who even up through the Victorian were typically very conservative and traditional men for their era. "Creative types" being leftist is entirely a post WW2 phenomenon and the idea it's timeless is spread by homofaggot academics and retards like you and the other anons ITT who mindlessly parrot it

I wonder why chaos warriors didn't get the warband special rule. That's how they organize themselves, each regiment being a warband unto itself. It's odd!

It would have had either chaos spawn or screamers of tzeentch pulling a completely hand-sculpted chariot, but I ended up not going forward with the project because it would have been prohibitively expensive and I wouldn't want to use it in an actual game. Still, I like to think about what could have been sometimes.
>>
>>94690603
No, the canon is that tzeentch is fucking with fate and all the paths exist at the same time or alternate each other while retroactively replacing what came before in a paradoxical schrodinger cat situation.
https://www.vermintide.com/news/franz-lohners-chronicle-the-changer-of-ways
Don't think about it and do what you want.
>>
>>94690603
That feels forced to the extreme.

Krubs turning getting blessed by Ze Lady out of fucking nowhere is an asspull and a half, but to be fair every Grail Knight is literally a Deus Ex Machina, so it's not the worse it could be. The outrageous accent is also a great argument in its favor.

Keri also always had some latent magic potential as shown in her Hexbane and Trueflight bows even back in 1, but her autism anti-social tendencies make it a bit weird for her to suddenly 180° and buddy up with Ariel and Isha. A bit of a stretch

Bardin always glazed Cousin Okri™ and we do know he's experienced with bomb-making ever since the first game, but I feel there's a huge leap between a grenade and a gatling gun. It could also be easily explained if he had ever been a miner and used satchel charges. A bit of a stretch.

Saltz becoming a warrior priest is a huge change in his lofe, even of he had always been a fervent Sigmarite. I can't help but feel that doing the combat and miracle shit WPs do requires a lot of specialized training Victor never had, as he was busy burning witches, executing suspected vampires and getting shanked by Rodents of Unusual Size.

Sienna being a necromancer is such a huge change it doesn't even begin to make sense. Nothing in her story ever pointed to Necromancy, snd even her going for Chaos Sorcery would be more reasonable (even then not really) given she does hear voices telling her to burn shit.

Honestly doesn't make much sense. There was never any mention of a Knighthood Order in the 1st game, and the only centers of irganized resistance were focused around

>that one city watch captain near the palace that gives you a bunch of Board quests
>the Dwarf Quarter
Neither of which ever said anything about there even being a Knighthood Order in Ubersreik. Even when we go to Schluesse-whatever for The Fall Lohner makes a point of saying the fortress was abandoned. There was no Imperial authority in the city besides the guy holed up near the palace.

It's quite literally impossible, because he never took the questing vow, or any knightly vows at all in that version of his story. I've always said that they should have picked a Blood Knight for his DLC class instead, at least that can be explained by him impressing a hermit/errant blood dragon enough to give him the blood kiss. And that could have opened the door to more creative mechanics than "locked&loaded, but melee".

Getting the blessings to become a grail knight is really just "divine whim" rather than something with a proper process, its just that the people the lady looks fondly on tend to be those who do the grail quest.
>>
>>94691086
Repanse is not a grail knight, she's an anointed zealot/miracle worker/living saint. Still marked by a deity, but in a different way.

Honestly, it'd be fucking hilarious if it was the case. But I was told that Kruber barely qualifies as a grail knight, and his power ingame is like 1% of the power of an actual grail knight.

I wonder who came first, the Axe Bretonnian, or the Axe Banner.

Because its very entertaining to consider the possibility that a Bretonnian Duke was just so into his Axe and whacking things with it, the thing became his entire personality and idendity.
>>94691720
And Kruber was in an Ostlan Regiment. The Empire is for all intents and purposes quite metropolitan, and some towns are proper melting pots. Its not unusual or unheard of that Kruber could have a bretonnian somewhere in his lineage, since Felix Jaegers brother Otto is also married to a Bretonnian woman,
>>
>>94691880
Kruber if i recall correctly is from Stromdorf in reikland and was only put into a ostland regiment wa s due to him disagreeing with an officer
>>
>>94691904
Yes.
>>
>>94691904
That doesn't really disprove my point that Imperial Citizens are shuffled around internally a lot, and especially commoners having heritage from several curious places is not impossible.
>>
>>94691924
but it makes a bit more sense for a commoner from a reikland town to related to a bretonnian than a commoner from Ostland would be
>>
>>94691937
Certainly.

Argueably the commoners in Marienburg and its surroundings would be even more likely to be inter related with Bretonnians, since the Marches of Corounne are an open Border, while Montfort and Helmgart are only connected through a shitty mountain pass.

>Don't equate gameplay from vidya to lore. Vermintide was most accurate in the first game where a Skaven chieftain was a massive threat to the whole party.

Anon, I get what you are saying. But the novels and stories in this world frequently bend the lore to make the stories happen. They are harsh to a rule until they suddenly aren't. The Ubersreik 5 are that capable based on existing lore in the books.

Comparing 5th ed to the Old World

If I'm reading this right, the primary difference is in 5th ed the charged skirmishers form up to meet the charging unit in the next turn
Where as in The Old World, this happens immediately on the same turn they are charged, yes?

Apparently, in 5th ed there's also a clause that lets skirmishers not engaged continue to move and shoot, but I don't see how that could happen if the skirmishers "must try to move into combat"

If I am not mistaken, for 5e, if the skirmishing unit is engaged a much smaller unit (such as a character) and already surround them, then there's no where the other non engaged units can move up to fight.
Therefor in that situation, they can move around and shoot.
For 6e and beyond, the skirmishers must form up in rear ranks and cannot do anything else until the combat is resolved.

They are not. The knight arms/weapons are connected to their torsos at the shoulder, whereas the warrior arms/weapons are connected to their bodies at the elbows. However, with a hobby knife and some greenstuff, you could cut off the weapons and hands of said knights' arms and use them to give your warriors fancier weapons.
