I really enjoy when I enter a thread of a random community and don't understand a single post. It feels like how I imagined other countries to be like as a child.
Think medieval 3 get a ported warhammer total conversion? The dev streams clips on yt are making me fall for hype propaganda.
>>737291674Assuming Med 3 won't be complete dogshit like Rome 2 was I am absolutely certain there will be someone to try and make that mod. Plenty of people don't like the Hero and Monster spam from the mainland game or how retardedly barebones the campaign map is.That being said I'd rather have a LotR conversion mod than Warhams.

>>737294085>>737293807>>737293758Meh at fucking best, van Dyke has farted more memorable melodies than this. The best Warhams music is from the trailers none of which are in the game because CA are utter fucking retards.

>>737294180NO VOICE IN OUR EARS BUT THE MAW
>>737296180Well yeah. Memes aside, Teclis is the most powerful mortal mage alive even if he didn’t set up the colleges in the first place.
>>737296171 It’s surprisingly solid but still janky as hell. The map and factions are in, a bunch of custom armors and troop trees too, but balance is all over the place and sieges turn into absolute clown fiestas once magic units show up. Cavalry feels great though - riding down goblins in first person never gets old. Just don’t expect polished questlines or Warband-tier stability yet, it’s very much “cool proof of concept with crashes.” If you’re the type who can tolerate jank for the sake of yelling SIGMAR and cleaving some chaos mook in half, it’s worth a weekend. Otherwise wait a few updates.

>>737291667Total War Warhammer is a mix of RTS and turn based(turns on a map) using the warhammer universe.

>>737296180>human mage kneels to the guy that literally was responsible for teaching magic to humansduh
>>737298884where's the manling
>>737300046humans knew magic before teclis was even born, he just taught them the elven theories of the winds and the colors of magic, whereas most human wizards in the empire before mostly used elementalism(the 4 classic elements) and kinda just channeled shit willy nilly.
>>737300167Yeah and that channeling shit willy nilly was terrible. There's a reason college magic is the only magic allowed in the empire.
>>737299989what do you mean?
>>737300208Actually for a time there was a wholly different school of magic than the colleges, made by the mages who didn't agree with Teclis. It eventually got purged because the Emperor thought that having 2 competing magical schools of thought was retarded.
>>737299989Ew! Ew! Ew! Black is no good! We don't want nasty stinking fucking blacks! I need a nice aryan daughterwife who can give me aryan children one day! Not some terrible brute savage barely suited to clean the chimney! As well the breasts are too big.

>>737300946Yes. Especially the Thrones of Decay ones
>>737298884I still remember trying to get into AoS by reading the pic-related book because everyone said it was the most accessible, and I loved the first three Gotrek books. And it bored me to tears so badly that I still have not touched another AoS book or tried to get into the setting again. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to get rid of felix? And the thing with the realms is just so stupid.
>>737301191It's all just a knock-on effect of AoS being shit, sadly
Thanquol bros...
>>737297530If it helps, it’s easily the worst one.I honestly don’t know what the fuck they were thinking with the ultimate bad guy.Granted it’s not until the beastmen get NTRd in their own book by the Chad Kemmler that it starts to really pick back up again.
>>737298884I love Brian Blessed, but nobody can top Keeble’s performance of Gotrek, and he was already a VA for total warhammer
>>737297530>>737298884>>737301191Are there even any good aos books? I always hear about Eisenhorn and Horus Rising and but I don't think I ever hear about Aos
Wait people still play this shit? The setting and the game are both subpar as hell. I can’t imagine following it beyond its laughable launch, let alone from warhammer 1 or 2.
>>737302112the hollow king books, the blacktalon books and the gunnar brand novel are usually talked about if people ask for good beginner books.

>>737302112They had one wood elf book that I really liked, granted he’s written like an edgy elf but for good reason. Also I liked the cultists books they had when they were still doing short stories.
>>737302384Did the delves try to fuck with you because of it?
>>737302409>>737302383Thanks, I might try them when I'm done with my current book
Daemonslayer > Skavenslayer
>>737302812No, the campaign overall was very weird. Besides Malus, the dark elves were kinda getting spit roasted between mazdamundi and norsca so they had no real influence by the time my waaagh happened. I only know this because I scouted north when I was robbing lustria to fund my old world antics. I had a military alliance with the tomb kings almost the entire game to act as a massive buffer and distraction so all the enemies I made just went for them instead. After I left lustria it was nothing but thousand maws/skaven vs TK naval battles in the middle of the ocean.
>>737292623but muh spellsingers...
>>737302112AoS is GW's 'Potential Setting'. They could actually do some interesting and even cool stuff with the Realms but they literally refuse to do so because they still desperately want Stormcast to bring in Space Marine tier profits, so every major AoS plotline that doesn't involve Stormcast gets very little focus. As such most AoS books are meandering snippets that try to flesh out the setting while also having to tiptoe around the fact GW could instantly retcon and nullify them at any moment on a whim.It's like with 40k but even more schizophrenic since there isn't infinite space to just create planet-ending threats with.
>>737304642I thought the realms literally were infinite space for all sorts of faggots to bring death to all sorts of people without the status quo of any faction to ever change.Also I am glad to see that Sigmaris still don't sell. Does anything else from AoS actually do so?
>>737298884Topkeke brits are such cucks
>>737299248>AoS>success
Post more tww/vermintide reaction images please
>>737281061THE NATION CALLS
>>737304849I'm pretty sure official sales figures for AoS have never been releasedI know the new starter sets sell out quickly e.g. Skaven and Chorfs and presumably the Stormcast do respectable numbersHere's a chart of faction popularity as per aos-events.com
>>737304849No, each Realm is essentially just a flat planet. They have defined edges which drop off into empty space, but it's borderline impossible to reach the edges since the magic thebplane is based on starts going screwy the closer you get until it gets lethal. The only instance of a fight happening on the edge of a realm was Eltharion dueling Arkhan on the edhe of Hysh, arguably the most 'stable' realm. It ended when Eltharion literally threw Arkhan off the world.As for sales it sells well enough. The 'problem' is that, as mentioned before, GW REALLY wants Stormcast to be Space Marine tier money-makers, even though that's practically impossible. Even in AoS itself Stormcast are only 'popular' by virtue of being the faction in the Starter Boxes, and by far aren't the most liked faction even just among the Order group.Everything else EXCEPT the basic bitch Stormcast actually manages to be interesting, but GW is so colossally stupid that they keep trying to push said basic bitch Stormcast before everything else.
>>737304849>I thought the realms literally were infinite spacethey never were. its bullshit perpetutated by people that watch loretubers instead of actually reading the books.> I am glad to see that Sigmaris still don't sellthey do, just not the insane space marine sale numbers>Does anything else from AoS actually do so?pretty much everything outside of slayers, ogres and giants.
TWWH2 is still miles better than 3it's sad
>>737305201boy this didn't age well
>>737305246Don't remind me. I have actually been playing Mark of Chaos too recently and by god does that game just ooze with soul. It makes me hate CA and modern GW even more than usual.
Warhammer Fantasy is unironically the best fantasy setting of all time and even at its shittiest it still was literally 10 times better than 40gay at its peak.
>>737305201That's an old one, considering CA effectively relaunched Chorfs as a faction by themselves
>>737305254>>737305361Digging through my tww1&2 folder
>>737287930Imrik is so lucky.
>>737305332AgreedAnd the artwork is full of soul

>>737305332Preach it, I still have a lot of the original fantasy Warhammer roleplay books
>>737305361Why is their new art just so utterly soulless compared to stuff like >>737305332 ?Is it just the colors and contrast? The whole depiction is just less interesting to look at.
>>737305630Lack of pointy hats
>>737305630Well the chorf one is by CA and for a loading screen, to be fairA better comparison would be some of the soulless slop they've churned out for AOS

ALRIGHTWhat is your favourite region of The Empire? and why?
>>737305084
>>737305723It looks so stilted, like they are all holding a pose instead of being in the process of moving.
>>737305092I wish humans were real bro...
>>737305880Nuln because it lacks giant rats underneath the city which don't exist
>>737305880ReiklandIt has the most stuff detailed about it, Altdorf is my favorite city in the setting with it's giant, 1 million population, the colleges of magic, the cathedral of sigmar, the imperial palace, and outside of that you have places like ubersreik or bogehafen, who have a bunch of shit in of themselvesAlso, red is my favorite color.
>>737305630>>737305723
>>737305630that chorf one is for wh3 and it meant to show off the faction (almost all units are displayed in it along with a legendary lord)the other one is still better but i think it is apple and oranges
Khemri >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everywhere elseCope and seethe harder
>>737305630Colors.Modern artists are taught to utilize colors as much as possible (as in more so than before) to evoke certain themes and emotions; Chorfs are industrial bad guys therefore their palette must be dark, dreary, and fairly subdued to get across the concepts of a heavily industrial evil faction. Because it's JUST the Chorfs, there's nothing to contrast them to which just makes the art itself drab and subdued.>>737305723This is bad for a different reason; namely that it's following GW's modern art standard of shoving in certain tabletop model aspects for 'accuracy'. Colors are bright and contrasting, but they lack the depth and wide-focus of older art. Rather than having an art piece that models are based on, the art piece is based on the models. This means the artist is required to shove in certain characters and units while also keeping them detailed enough to be noticed. For instance, that Skaven in the middle right with the spyglass? That's literally a model in the box, it's even in that pose almost exactly. It's an annoying sort of uncanny that is very clearly corporate inspired.It also doesn't help that Stormcast (especiwlly golden stormcast) are just fucking ugly to look at. For a whole they tried a iron/silver scheme that looked FAR better, but because prior ads were done with gold they changed back after the new edition launched.

Never forget what diabetic shark took from you https://youtu.be/H6Fqwd0wNro?si=WTFjIweLHfX5vtu0
>>737305592>And the Empire is a far better protagonist faction than the Imperium ever wasThat's the biggest one for me.The Empire, for all its faults, genuinely feels like a place worth fighting for. The Imperium does not.
>>737306242It annoys me to no end that Stormcast look better as almost everything except their basic helmeted box-art look.
>>737306095>nothing to contrast them to whichYou say that but even I just look at the Chaos side of the older pic it is much more distinct and energetic than the entire pic of the chorfs. That being said I still agree overall, just doesn't seem to cover it all.
Total skaven victory, yes yes!
>>737306427It lacks energy due to lack of contrast. For instance pic related is similarly dark and 'menacing', bit the use of lighting via the colors provides a good contrast to the background to have the characters stand out. With the Chorf art the coloring is so dark that it detracts from the overall piece.
>>737305092This except Chinese humans
>>737305630yes the colors and lighting is bad because modern artists just copy photos instead of studying plein air, so they never learn how light works. and also modern artists abuse digital layers. old art is one single whole while new art is a bunch of separate layers painted separately in one image

>>737306387the other retarded fact is GW decided that full gold and Blue colour scheme was a good idea. Even that silver One in your pic is better. And stormcast can look good if not painted default
>>737307835MESBG is also a Specialist gameBesides Warmaster is the best "Wargame" GW ever made MESBG is more of a skirmish game that you can just play with a shit ton of models, depending on the scenario
>>737306138Vlad is not even human, or alive.
>>737305332it was one of the big Kitchen sink Settings with some actually good and WOW even original idea from GW.Not not just reporpused Minis from diffrent line they did minis for. Pic Is Melniboneans btw. Look familiar?
>>737280336>>737281193Who's this person? He looks coolt. know nothingabout warhammer if the thread is even about that
>>737287930the chances are slim considering how little nuance 40k factions have by comparison
>>737308119He is Supreme.
>>737308119He's the supreme patriarch of the imperial colleges of magic, and is, in particular, a wizard of the golden wind of metal (think alchemy and transmutation but also summoning dogs made out of molten lead to maul/melt people)
>>737308119
>>737307821>>737307863All my skaven campaigns inevitably turn into weapons teams and enemy blobs around sacrificial rat ogres/doomflayers/summoned units, maybe I need to try a queek run to actually get some melee focused armies going.
>>737306427>>737306673If the chawi holding the gat was firing it, thatd go a long wayMaybe a couple night gobs going flying newr the skullcracker?
>take the worst end-scenario setting>Turn it into a great game (after two years of patching) How did they do it?
>>737308351play as moulder, embrace genetic abominations and having every single unit in your army have 15 funny buttons that do random nonsense that you must keep track of
>>737303458I do not agree, elfslayer was also a good book.
>>737308393I have no idea and neither do the swedes or DT wouldn't have been so soulless.
>>737308675That's because 40k is just inherently soulless when compared to fantasy
>>737307967Ok, then GW's best games are specialistWtf is a skirmish game and a wargame then
What financial incentive would GW need to start reprinting fantasy books, or would doing so admit killing it off was a mistake
>>737308720They could've still given us a half decent game IF they had actually bothered making actual fucking characters. The fucking strongest point of their previous games after the core combat loop.
>>737308164>>737308213>>737308232Thanks bruvs

>>737308798i doubt GW would ever sell those books again, since no one ever bought them or will buy them.
Which rulebook is this from?
>>737308912I like the Ogryn Bruiser just because it's Bardins VA
>opens a mortgage to buy all the dlcs for tww3>mods are now objectively superior and are free>doesn't play the best game, aka tww2 WITH MODS
Gelt's quest speech gets memed on but the promise of going to the equivalent of heaven in the Warhammer setting seems like a great deal for his men
>>737309020Oh I forgot about that one. Also a good choice
>>737307505Nothing is allowed to be cool in 40k except Space Marines. If something that isn't Marines manages to become cool, GW will either bury it or make it associated with Marines.
>>737309052I haven't paid for a DLC since 2And 3 has The Old World
>>737309198Did they do that with the Catachans or Battlefleet Gothic?
>>737308778Specialist games just mean GW side game not handled by the mainline GW studio that works on 40k and AoS, so stuff like MESBG, Blood Bowl, Necromunda, but also stuff like Horus Heresy and TOW are Specialist games.A Skirmish game is used to say a game has a low model count, so stuff like Kill Team is a Skirmish game, but it isn't a Specialist game since it was made by the main 40k studio
>>737308119https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Kllddy9mo
>>737305630the only true answer is that modern art is just a glorified toy cover to show potential customers the product, if you stray too far with details or shadows or subjects that are NOT in the box, you might get sued. that's why the art looks clean and corpo approved.
>>737280336Step aside nerds.

>>737305548Same goes for the covers of most of the books. Something about it tingles my autism
>>737309516I love how you retards claimed total victory because of the TW40K announcement.Little do you know.....Oh you're in for so much pain.
>>737309445>CatachansYes. They've been buried by Cadians.>Battlefleet GothicYes. The BFG games have been specifically retconned and the BFG tabletop game is discontinued.
>>737302112>anything HH relatedyou couldn't pay me to read that shit
>>737309516Based. There's a reason they scrapped fantasy. Let the real setting handle it from here.
The introduction of tigermen turned me off Warhammer as a whole. Own a tabletop army and everything, haven't touched it in a while. It's just lame. I hate furries so much it's unreal.
>>737309739Jesus fucking christ, I thought you were shitposting. Guess you really cannot hate GW enough.
where we dropping?
>>737309970This map really doesn't need the Realms of Chaos
>>737309589Look I like warhammer but the art still strikes me as the most generic slop imaginable. Especially compared to the other stuff it was competing with in its own time.
Wood elves are built for human...
>>737309739>We need a squad of jungle fighter guardsmen to hunt down a big boss tyranid?>We have just the crew for this job!>Mystery meat cadians!I'll die mad about this shit
>>737309970Honestly I never like the campaign map in Warhams. It looks pretty but it never managed to immerse me like the Med 2 LotR mod, just the distance and scale of it all doesn't feel right.
>>737305975>Also, red is my favourite colour.Btw, Reikland actually uses Blue and Red equally, with Altdorf being mainly white.The popular Red & White look from Total Warhammer is inaccurate - likely taken from the 7th & 8th edition model images from GW, which showcased Talabheim units.
>>737310150Imperium popularity has caused 40k to grow stagnant. Even the new Space Marines are barely generating hype because at the end of the day they're just bog standard Marines again.
>>737310119SEEER KRUUBAAAA!
>>737310119hands to hold tenderly
>>737310150I wonder how crippled the catachan guy in owlcat's dark heresy will be
>>737310035There's a really weird obsession that some people have with having their armies just march through super hell like they would be decimated by just standing there long enough. Part of the fault is on the devs for letting you do that shit in the narrative campaign.It would be neat if Chaos campaigns (and chaos campaigns only) had access to the terrain by marching to the poles, but that's it.
>>737310207
Don't care, love fantasy dwarves.

>>737296171It's kino. It felt a bit small before the dwarf/ork update, but now it feels complete. I like that it's more than just a reskin, but they've added a lot of new mechanics, some faction specific resources, magic, careers with their own active abilities and sometimes unique units, cannons, large monster units etc.The dwarves also have some fantastic firearms, including what basically are shotguns, flamethrowers and rocketlaunchers. I've been playing non-stop since the update dropped.

Hello everyone. Meet queek headtaker. My heart rat i had between 2017-1 month after april 2020
>>737292256
>>737311508Isn't that Ludwig Schwartzhelm?
>>737311627Cute rat anonHe looks like he was very happy
>>737311627Cute, do rats actually react to the names you give them?
>>737311353Yeah, they updated it with Orcs and Dwarfs nowIf you desperately wanted to play an official game like that instead of mod, I guess Man O War Cosair exists, which is like a cross between Black Flag sailing combat and Mount and Blade, but that game is very janky even compared to older Mount and Blade games
I wish GW (and even CA) had further expanded the Empire's fluff, when it comes to its colonies.
They should add the pygmy
>>737311627>1 month after april 2020so may?
>>737308978one that has the skaven somehow knowing IRL modern day homosexual vernacular
>>737311353Yeah, they released an update with Dwarves and Orks like a week ago.
>>737300046>Imperial mage kneels to the guy that literally was responsible for teaching magic to ImperialsFTFYOther human nations had magic users already for centuries before the Empire began officially sanctioning their usage. The Empire just happened to hold a very anti-magic stance up until the Great War Against Chaos.Teclis’s contribution of Asur magic theory was very helpful though, because it made magic far safer and more reliable for Old World human mages.
>>737311627It's sad how short lived rats are. They're cute pets
>>737311780GW doesn't want to touch that stuff since they think they will come across as racist
>>737311738not only can they recognize names but they can also recognize voices and tones
>>737311734He was spoiled rotten kek. He had a tendency to climb up on my bed and sleep next to my head>>737311738Yeah you can teach them names for them to react to>>737311821Yeah, i for the most part don't remember which month is when kek>>737311946For sure
>>737292351>>737292370Perfect screencap. Enjoy lads.
>>737297965Cool it with the anti-semetic remarks.
>>737311942Even before the Colleges, Wizards were tolerated in certain parts of the Empire, like Middenheim, Nordland even had a Wizard ruler for a certain period of time
What did CA mean by this?
>>737312241
>>737311942Teclis is cool, he'll teach you magic if you finance his trip to a brothel.
>>737312528If humans and elves were compatible the guy would've created an entire new race of half-breeds by himself.
>>737308119Balthazar Gelt, Patriarch of the Gold College of Magic, and Grand Patriarch of the Magic Colleges of the Empire of Man.Think of the Colleges as Hogwarts, and this guy as Dumbledore if he had a hardon for artillery pieces. Well before Elspeth came and replaces him in that. (Tho I love Elspeth too)

>>737312635And peace was finally brought to the Old World
>>737312857Stop being so....... short-tempered.
>>737312192Also now that I think about it Bretonnia probably had Magic-users in the form of Damsels from the establishment of their kingdom onwards, hundreds of years before the Empire made systematic use of them, That probably played another role in their ability to fight off Imperial invasions alongside their air superiority and Bretonnian land being an economic sinkhole.
>>737312192I always loved how WHF's take on magic was
>>737311780GW themselves always seemed to have difficulties when introducing intricacy and finer detail to their IPs; relying on other subsidiaries (like Black Library) and 3rd-party companies (like Cubicle7) to fill the voids. Of the colonies from that pic (from top to bottom): Leopoldheim was introduced by the Roleplaying Game; Mangrove Port was introduced by a single BL Novel and never mentioned again; Neuland was the result of a Summer Campaign from 2001 and barely mentioned ever again; Sudenburg was referenced in passing through a couple of Editions, and ocasionally mentioned by the Roleplaying Game (and expanded a tad by CA); and Svunum was introduced by yet another BL Novel (and further mentioned by the Roleplaying Game).>>737312043That's current GW alright.They had little issue of it a couple of decades ago, when all factions tried to carve a piece of Albion land for themselves. Or when most factions went on conquering expeditions in Lustria.
By Sigmar
>>737313381I like that some of the 8 colleges have connections to non-imperial traditions, like the Light College having clear Nehekharan influence or the Amber College still practicing the pre-imperial Druidic religion.I also like speculating on in-universe anthropology. It’s never directly stated, but I’m pretty sure the Chaos Dwarves are indirectly responsible for the creation of the Empire, Bretonnia, and the Norscans.
>>737313713Something people often forget is that GW is not a literature company. They aren't even a game company. They are a model company. All that they do is for the sake of selling models, and they do not care for any writing or media beyond that which influences the sales of their models. Tabletop rules, Black Library, video games, all of these things are secondary to the models and are manipulated to ensure maximum sales growth for minimum cost.It's a significant reason why 40k sucks so much.
>>737313048>>737312095>>737311627
>>737313882>Chaos Dwarves are indirectly responsible for the creation of the Empire, Bretonnia, and the Norscansqrd?
THRONE BEARERS
>>737314657The shared ancestors of the Imperials and Bretonnians, as well as the proto-Norscans, all migrated into the old world around 1000 years before Sigmar’s birth, with both groups coming westwards from homelands in what is now the Dark Lands (Norscans took a northern route through the World’s Edge mountains while Imp-Brets took a southern route). They were explicitly fleeing from an increasingly aggressive and numerous Greenskin population out there.The establishment of the Chaos Dwarfs’ empire probably flooded the area with escaped Greenskin slaves, and their obliteration of the local environment probably made it rather unsustainable for human life as well.So it’s probably the CW’s fault that the humans migrated west in the first place.
>>737313913>They aren't even a game company. They are a model company. All that they do is for the sake of selling models, and they do not care for any writing or media beyond that which influences the sales of their models.Any smart company would have used the succes of it's IP to expand into other fields. GW is not a smart company and we have to suffer because of it.
>>737305880Middenland. I like the idea of melee Empire. Too bad they're aggressively mediocre in melee in game, which is made even worse by having to deal with WoC, Norsca, and Beastmen.
>>737315947They're even worse in the tabletop.The eternal connundrum of being an empire player on the tabletop is: do I bring lots of gunpowder units and make the game unfun for my opponent, or do I bring lots of melee and lose

COLD
>>737309970The end times followed by Age of Sigmar
Is it considered abusing the AI to sell them a shitty settlement in the early game to get some cash and non-agg so you don't have to worry about that direction for 10-15 turns? Whenever I'm playing an LL surrounded by people that hate you I usually get overwhelmed and attacked from the rear unless I do this.
I wish you could separate the many different forms of cheating the AI does on the campaign like you can for battles.I like the AI's anti-player bias. I like that AIs that hate me get extra money to field more stacks. I dislike their replenishment cheats. I hate how they ignore all forms of attrition. And I utterly fucking LOATHE how they can recruit half a full stack per turn.I would take all of these cheats except the super recruitment because it means you can't just sit and defend until the AI exhausts itself upon your defenses. I god damn love having an endgame Nurgle enemy because I can actually play defense against Nurgle until I exhaust all of their recruitment before I push.
I heard Man O War got released? Is it worth playing, or should I just go for Bannerlord 2 mod if it has ships in it?
>>737319993>AI attacks you on their turn>you win but don't wipe them out>they force march back to their own territory and then replenish since it happens immediately at the end of their turnsSo fucking annoying. Any faction without dogs to clean up retreating units is a pain in the dick because they will just replenish half their army even after you win.
>>737305880Middenland just because Boris
>>737316178honestly "flys that hover over the ass of the bull god" is such a fucking killer move
>>737305880Marienburg (modded) LL that only sits in your capital is funny
>>737293758Total War has been lacking in the music department for decades now. Rome, Med 2 and Shogun 2 have some of the best soundtracks not only in the franchise but for strategy games in general that I have ever hear. When Jeff Big Dick left is truly when TW went downhill for me.
>>737305880I like Averland, seems relatively decent compared to some of the proper shitholes in the empire like Ostland and Nordland
>>737319546It is abuse, and that's perfectly fine. Some LLs have an absolute bitch of a start and getting attacked from behind in the early game will set you back so far that you may as well quit.
I am in desperate need of goblin memes, aka the best greenskins.

>>737323853https://youtube.com/shorts/-UjsvY5dXRY?si=N7LThzGLDVe9aPrwTechnically 40k, but I love a good Dread video.
I didn't expect to enjoy playing the chinks as much as I did but Zhao Ming in IE is just peak comfy times once you get rid of your rat infestation
Two of my favorite screen grabs from older games
>>737324809>Zhao Ming in IE is just peak comfy times once you get rid of your rat infestationOr you could roll Drazoath and Grimgor having maximum potential so that by the time the rats are gone you now have two gigantic factions with underway stance coming at you from the mountains because Greasus never ever survives any campaign.
>>737324541I would be more interested in the Empire if they had slightly more advanced firearms. In fact I was so autistic about this because I wanted a magazine fed bolt action, or at least a single shot bolt action like a Martini Henry, for a LARP I was attending I scoured the entire WHFB wiki in search of anything remotely close and only found some off hand mention about a dwarf inventor prototyping something akin to that but it didn't really go anywhere. Suffice to say that wasn't enough of lore proof for me to build one and take with me.
