Just got the warhammer 40k definitive edition, exited to play bros! I haven’t played a good RTS in yearsAnything I need to know before playing?
>>549229539Alith AnarKhatep
>>549229241A mix of WHAT
>>549229539>Elspeth>RepanseI agree with your list except those two because they are actually lords in tabletop. I cannot think of a single hero in the game that was justified being turned into a legendary lord by CA. The worst upgrade by far was Markus Wulfhart
>all of the massive powercreep has restored the fun to the factions that have remain untouchedThis was a strange way to get there, but I'm having fun, and the recruit LL mod just ups the difficulty -- makes you feel like you have actual rivals
>>549229826Alith is like king or ruler or whatever of Naggarythe at least.
>>549230010I forgot Markus, should have been LH for Toddy
>>549230021I'm enabling recruiting defeated LL but I don't really intend to use it myself. Both because I am chorf and because I always felt like with it you never actually field regular generals. But for AI it should make for more fun challenge.That said facing grimgor for eternity is not going to be nice
>>549227632Q2 2027 (delayed)NeferataWalach HarkonNagashTnahquolGlottkinThe DLC is $200.Q3 2027"The future of Total War: Warhammer 3"
>>549230039He was, thousands of years ago. He's supposed to be a ghost-like figure who only appears in times of need and then disappears (GW loves this archetype since there's literally about 10 characters like this).It's funny in the Aislinn cinematic he's just stood around in broad daylight arguing with the other helf LLs when he's basically an urban myth.
>>549227632This is unironically what I believe we are getting except were getting Crom instead of Glotkin because his title is literally "Harbringer of the End Times" in the Nagash End Times rule book. Plus I cannot see Nurgle getting a second DLC with Glotkin.
>>549226628for me it's the glottkin
>>549230172I mean that is literally what he is in Tabletop. This basically really fucked themselves over upgrading and giving him units from the Middenland army because it basically put them in a scenario of how the fuck do you add Todbringer now?
wait....why this the only place on the internet that thinks there is going to be a second nurgle dlc with glotkin? am i missing something?
Ever since the update the water has been insanely oversaturated, despite having no graphics mods.
>>549230849sotek confirmed it
>>549230849They were the main Chaos rep during the End Times and lead the invasion of the Empire. Nurgle got top billing among the Chaos gods in the whole event. Depends on how close they're sticking to the ET narrative.
>>549231067>They were the main Chaos rep That was Archaon.>lead the invasion of the Empire.That was literally Crom which is why he ended getting killed by Valten the main defender of the Empire.
>>549227632I'm thinking Neferata will be in April and End Times will be in August. That'll be it for the year, I seriously think whatever's after End Times will only come in 2027.>Boris Todbringer (FLC)Lmao Empkeks are gonna shit themselves if Todbringer doesn't come with all those l'ebin Middenland units they've dreamed about for years.>>549230849Daemonmanii (Green) were heavily featured in End Times and I'll be honestly surprised if Glotkin aren't in. By the FUCKING way I really wish the showcase had just revealed everyone who's coming instead of spending half an hour just talking about Niggash.
>After hours and hours of downloading, turns out this pc can't run WH3, the game forever stuck in the first battle's loading screen and eventually crashing>Can play 1 and 3 just fineWhat the fuck did they put in the game to rise the specs this bad?
>>549230849Chinese leak got TOT 100% and it said glotkin, and what others said.
I find it amusing that some people are trying the game out now because they opened it up for 1 or 2 people that never got 3 I would've assumed that to be a minority but
There seems to be a fuck ton of confusion in the wording for the amount of legendary lords for the DLC. Why doesn't CA clarify? They say Nagash plus 3 lords joining him in the Anniversary video. In the FAQ they said 4 lords and don't specify if that is all paid or one is FLC.Then you got the Youtubers.>3 paid lords and 1 FLC according to the majority of Youtubers.>A few are saying 4 paid lords plus FLCWhich is it? 3 or 4 paid lords?
>>549232035Chinese leak said Moonclaw was getting paid DLC before Nagash. Nagash DLC was 5 races including Cathay.You can't just take out the parts that don't fit. That isn't how it works.
Precious. Few. Lesser Beings. Are granted the Storm Dragon's counsel.
>>549232170I'm more interested in what they do for malekith and archaon than I am in what they do for literal whos that aren't nagash
>>549232353And settra I guess
>>549232170I logically assume that it's 4 DLC + 1 FLC, for 5 LLs in total.To be fair, there would be less confusion if CA had just named everyone that's coming. Consider yourself lucky if you find out who the 2nd LL is by the end of March, nevermind how many there are exactly.
>>549232353>I'm more interested in what they do for malekith and archaon Mazdamundi is also apparently getting some narrative content not just Malekith and Archaon.
>>549232569Source?
>>549232606Uumm, my gaping anus.
>>549232170It's 4 Lords plus, the single FLC. They are consistent about the free lord that comes out alongside any pack as not being part of that pack but rather part of that update.
Monkeyking glotkin thanquol nagash that’s your 4 enjoy your slop
>>549232510>Slaanesh in charge of being attraction>difficulty: impossible
>>549232796
>>549232890I think thats the point that they arent attractive and just make an illusion of being so but that doesnt really extend to sigvald

>>549233235No, this is the problem with Slaanesh.>Slaanesh doesn't need to appeal to anyone, they use 'illusions' or 'force you'Weak ass excuse to not show boobs.
I’d be a follower of nurgle in real life
>>549232290Relax nigga I was operating from earlier thinking, I forgot the nagash announcement was made. Either way, 100% accuracy to ToT is higher than other leakfags can claim so it's still a reputable source compared to anon speculation.Glotties were big in end times and Nurgle is GW's favorite + that leak = pretty solid evidence in favor. Not 100% but 75% or more
Which new ll is the best ll
>>549233616Probably dechala because people were likely underestimating the rewards that you get from her faction that we didnt have a way to evaluate
>>549233616Sayl because he rides on a mammoth and can cast spells
>>549233289You have to realize that slaanesh is the god of >ExcessIt's not "Teehee conventional sexual fantasies", "Haha what if slaanesh was pretty girls who want to kiss me and make me feel good :)". It's endless pleasure for the sake of pleasure. Same way der coomers can lead into the excess of imagining themselves women because a woman has more means of pleasure than a man + greater intense pleasure is with Slaanesh.It's ugly bastard the corruption manifest.
>>549233616I'd like Aislinn more if his economy wasn't so bad. Sure you can sack and occupy or give away settlements better than other ll but his income is heavily reliant on limited colonies. Confederations fuck you over so bad too.
>>549233895All of the gods are gods of excess. Excess anger, excess decay, excess cleverness, and like you just said, excess pleasure. Ugly things are not pleasurable.
In the Warhammer lore, Chaos Gods are formless psychic entities, but Slaanesh, the God of Excess & Pleasure, is strongly associated with gender fluidity and androgyny, often depicted with male/female features or as a perfect blend, making it a popular deity for transgender and queer fans due to its non-binary, transformative nature
>>549233616Franz.
>>549233895>LGBQTIAC3P0R2D2s are best suited to worship a daemonMakes sense since they're all going to Hell.
Moonclaw can’t be a ll since she never got a model.
>>549234506Just like the bretonnian dude with a fork and the newest generic elf lord, Elronius Galadriacus Waterloo
>>549234506Can he be a III or a IV or a V?
Why did ai alarielle decide to fight me 1v1 what did they expect would happen
>>549232796>>549232924>>549233083pre ordering all of those and im gonna have fun playing them
I’ve never played as a female character none of them look fun or interesting compared to the men.
Has anyone noticed that not all is the immortal empire button bigger but the faction selection screen has room for 3 more new factions?>Nagash who gets his own faction>Monkey King gets his own faction (according to the leak that is 100% right so far)>Dogs of War
>>549234723she looks quite vulnerable here
I regret buying all the lizard dlc. Their tech tree is god awful and the geomatic webway sucks.
>>549234723Superior Asur tactics folded over a thousand times you'd never understand filthy chaostard go home.
Im looking forward to the archy rework. I await to claim and lay waste to the world.
>>5492342571) Warhammer recognizes this issue, that Slaanesh has a domain all the gods touch on. This isn't a new observation. I am not sure which codex this is from but you can see it on the wiki and I remember reading it in I think that ancient chaos WHF book that was nurgle-v-tzeentch or slaanesh-v-khorne.>"This is due, in part, to the fact that all the Chaos Gods embody in some form the excess for which Slaanesh is known: Khorne with its bloodlust, Tzeentch with its scheming, and Nurgle with its spreading of plague. Each is an obsession that the Dark Prince can turn to its will with merely a whispered promise. Lurking deep within the psyche of each of its brothers is the suspicion that the influence of the Dark Prince is rapidly growing, and that Slaanesh will perhaps one day eclipse them all in strength. With this thought in mind, any alliance of convenience with Slaanesh is especially short-lived; while this could be attributed to simple distrust of one who changes sides at a whim, there is an argument that the Dark Prince's rival gods fear the secret power it holds over them."2) You are conflating excess pleasure with excess beauty. Slaanesh is not the god of beauty in itself. >"Ugly things are not pleasurable"Again - ahegaoing from some ugly bastard being so ugly but his sexual prowess being so, say it with me kids>EXCESSIVEit means the pleasure of being fucked is so, say it again kids>EXCESSIVEthat it overcomes any shallow vanity. Unless you are someone who goes>EXCESSIVEinto beauty like Sigvald, then that's your schtick. Daemonettes are not excesses of beauty - I don't think it's part of their job description at all.
i just got the game for free, and i was wondering if i should keep going with the prologue even though i kinda understand how stuff works (battle is the toughest for me atm)
>>549235380Yes I got chills on the ending cutscene.
If you're playing Slaneesh, do yourself a favor and don't bother recruiting the mortal lords.
>>549235380keep going
>>549235380Play the dwarfs once you feel ready. They are the most forgiving in terms of combat.
Who is the sexiest character or unit in this game?
>>549235372And a cursory glance and:>A Daemonette, also known as a "Maiden of Ecstasy," is a Lesser Daemon of Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure and Chaos God of amoral pleasure. Also known as "Bringers of Joyous Degradation," "Harbingers of Endless Delights," the "Children of Slaanesh," and "Seekers of Decadence," Daemonettes are all these things and more.I already dealt with the false idea of "ugly things not pretty and thus not pleasurable". It's the fucking Cenobites and the idea that pleasure is far beyond simply the primitive monkey brain "oook ooook big fertile features oook ook so pretty". If you want to go down the pretty route that is going to be your singular thing.It's so fucking pea brained entry level hedonist to be hyperfixated on wanting a 'pretty perfect big boobies real life anime girl daemonette :)' being necessary that Slaanesh would reject you just for being so damn basic. This is the last (you) you get from me because nowadays I can't tell when someone is trolling to pretend to be stupid as fuck or actually retarded. Like it or not, if you go Slaanesh you are going to become some coombrain crippled abomination. Think de sade and how his book combined the pretty and innocent with the disgusting scatologically obscene. That's Slaanesh - not WOW succubus slapping her ass.If you're just shadowboxing a culture war then go after GW for femstodes faggotry or the DEI units in AOS and TOW.
>>549235623battles as slaanesh dont last long enough to warrant that over the 10+ physical resist to all mortal units imo. Vanguard deployment for whole army is good, though.
>>549235372Hmm. You haven't explained why being excessively beautiful wouldn't directly serve their purpose and make them more effective in all ways.
>>549235774the masque
>>549235372>Slaanesh has a domain all the gods touch onAll the gods domains infringe upon each others, hence the constant warring its not unqiue to Slaanesh
I have the feeling I'm super fucked. :-D
why do the DLCs have mixed reviews on steam?are they really that bad?
>>549236698Reddit and Legend told people not to like it
Gorbad ironclaw is kinda mid desu
>>549236830even reddit doesn't like it? dafuq?
>>549236492you got the sleds you're fine
>>549237248Nah. He's a great general, not a good 1 man doomstack.
>>549236492>map shaped like Khorne
>>549236492I was kinda confused which god he was fighting at first they should turn the red filter up
>>549236492just build those factionwide stat buffing buildings everywhere and you'll have mega roided out units that can 1v1 anything
>40% ambush chance>It worksI can't even. Should've stayed at your gate idiots it's mine now you can't stop me anymore gg campaign
>>549237549>>549237931Well shit, I didn't expect the other waves. kekI fought that like poop. I'll come stronger next time. :-Dd
I think the glottkin have a terrible design and are dumb
>>549238734Yes
>>549238734I mean there is only so many ways you can make a disgusting green blob diseased legendary lord of Nurgle.
Dechala can turn marauders into chosen with damage over time poison to boot. Damn.
>herald of khorne skull taker LL>herald of nurgle epidermus LL>herald of slaanesh masque LL>herald of tzeetch blue scribes LHlol even the developers hate the worst chaos god too enjoy your shit campaign with the changeling.
>>549239305Giving her SHODAN vibes was inspired imo
Hell yeah.
>>549239691Extremely calculated, and such.
I want to pick up Wood Elves during the sale.Should I pick up the base DLC, the one lord + skaven one, or both?
Turn 47
>>549227959queek
>>549240016The way the skaven speak piss me off.
If Glottkin gets added wouldn't that mean the other three would also get another LL? Who would be the front runners for those places?
>>549229241>canonically force feeds people snussy juiceyeah this setting is pretty alright
>>549234723Sword of Khaine has her acting up again
>>549240101no not at all
>>549239596The only herald missing now Herald of the Everchosen/United chaos....Crom
>nurgle gets a 4th legendary lord before tzeentch gets a 3rd.
>>549240101>If Glottkin gets added wouldn't that mean the other three would also get another LL?No the Glottkin exists as the face of End Times because the Nurgle focused story was the only thing they bothered to do before End Times ended. It's why you have a lot off weird newer Nurgle content for fantasy compared to the other gods. You're going to get Glottkin as the End Times lord with an Archaon remaster and that's your chaos crap.
>>549240101Tzeentch lords left: Galrauch and EgrimmKhorne: Ka'BandhaSlaanesh: No one left
>>549240302The optics of this would be really fucking bad which is why it is not going to happen. CA cannot afford another hard L right now.
>>549240474>Ka'BandhaThis is a GW mistake that CA can fix. Leave that irrelevant bum to the 40keks.
>>549240634He’s badass during the Horus heresy
>>549240474They should make a big tiddy gooner whore OC for Slaanesh. I'm tired of tranny deamons
>>549240578the optics of fantasoi don't matter because in 4 days they are announcing 40k TW
Kek it really do be like that
>>549240765they are no longer making blood DLC
>>549240667I don't car about soi-fi.
>>549240634He is the main Khorne lord in End Times and Caradryan's rival after he beats the everliving shit out of Tyrion.
>>549240873>tranime spamming avatarfag is going to fuck off soon40k is the cure twg needs
Reminder for histoids and fantasois, the next 10 years of /twg/ are going to be solely focused on 40k and SW TW.
In 40k total war they better have the bad moons they’re my favourite greenskins
>>549240765>troops will always be in T-pose unless purchasedwhere can I enable this?
Since we know that Li Dao survived the End Times according to like two sentences in Age of Sigmar and we might actually know what his dragon forms looks like as a result Do you think think his face is going to be horrifically scarred or did the scars come from surviving the end times?
>>549240924Only due to GW's retarded decision to have a 40kek stan write those books. Skarbrand was right there, but he chose a 40k character to be the main Khorne guy. Kabumda was irrelevant in fantasy before that.
Elspeth gunpowder only campaign or another Draz campaign?Smoke mod works, reloading mod still broken. That's cool though, just want to shoot shit to ribbons.
Is there any canon black characters they can add with this dlc? Their cast is pretty white. Not that I care just as a black man id appreciate some representation is all.
>>549241045They're going to announce the transition to Old World Fantasy for the next game, so they can recycle assets for an easy cash infusion. Plus dlc for Old World stuff.
>>549240924Why is everyone suddenly on here taking ET seriously as if it wasn't the biggest abortion in the entire setting?
>>549241864It had some strong concepts. Malekith being good was kino.
>>549241864because now we have end times dlc
why can't I see lokhir's winds of magic? i can see it with the other lord
>>549241756I think the RoR land ship for the empire has a black guy on it
>>549241525gunpowder only
>>549241756Niggers are replaced by Liggers
Still not fixed, huh?
>>549242524We don't tolerate racism around heremaybe reddit is more up your speed
>>549241864Because we are getting End Times DLC you retard. Looking at the ET books lets us see what units we'll get. Fuck your seething about muh lore.
im a brainlethow to sea elves
I think the closest thing to black people you'll get in WHF is Tomb Kings before they all became skellingtons
>>549243104LSG (Shields) are the best infantry in the game. Use them, three bolt throwers, and a dragon, or two.
>city is named city of destruction>is destroyedreally ca, really
This is really annoying.. the AI gets super confused when I gift her settlements far away and send armies through the entire fucking world, pissing off everyone.
>>549241919>Malekith being good was kino.cringe and forced.>>549241926>>549242732>We are getting end times contentok.>Therefore we must care about ET.Yeah see this is the connection Im not getting. If it's ET garbage Im not buying it and/or modding it out .I mean to you care about everything that shoots out of CA's bunghole?
>>549232890slaanesh doesn't indulge in "base" perversions except as a means to further damnation, ie a man being seduced by an extremely attractive daemonette is nowhere near as sinful as a man chasing new forms of pleasure to the point he will lust after things very clearly beyond the normality of beauty standards. there are conventionally beautiful servants of slaanesh but daemons of slaanesh as miniature reflections of their deity are always gonna be repugnant and beautiful in an eclectic mashup because provoking any extreme of emotion is kind of the point. also most of the heavy lifting is done by sound, magic, and scent with things like soporific musk and all sorts of fucksmell getting mortals going so that they're confused by their raging boner at the horrific gnashing titty snake
>>549243691*do you
>>549241864Because ET DLC is obviously not going to be ET in the context of the end of Fantasy campaign GW ran. ET fucking sucked because it was badly paced and written but more than anything it sucked because Warhammer exists as an eternal war stalemate where your favorite army men get to but heads forever and ET went "you liked this race or this character? Canonically they fucking died like a chump fuck you" ending with the literal description of the setting. But Total War does not and obviously will not function like that. It's already a nonsense what if map painter game where you can just go "yeah I'm playing Sisters of Twilight and I colonized the totality of Lustria fuck you". Any ET DLC is just going to be the standard overhauls and units alongside more endgame scenarios and obviously you are not going to be playing dwarves and get an announcement on turn 20 saying all your LLs got killed by Skaven game over. I'm not saying there's any reason to assume that the ET DLC is going to be 10/10 no issues but they're obviously not going to be the most egregiously retarded story beats from it because that's not how this game functions mechanically.
>>549243493yeah they seem to be hardcoded to send an army to new settlements
>>549241756Best I can do is Pygmies
>>549241756You'll have to wait for the inevitable Total War: 40K and their Salamanders DLC
>>549241756Southlander humans that trade with Araby are canonically black. The only black people in warhammer besides the black halfings in Lustria the Pygimes.
Anyone else get a quest bug with Strykarr? I assassinated an agent, and the mission completed but no hero.
>>549244132>obviously you are not going to be playing dwarves and get an announcement on turn 20 saying all your LLs got killed by Skaven game over.haha....yeah...they wouldn't...do that....
>>549241756bro there is literally only two named black people in warhammer fantasy one is this guy whose parents were Southlander merchants. https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Bruno_Frankeand the other is Kala Ngbongo.who is basically Shaka Zulu in Warhammer and a warlord of the southlands.
>>549244132I mean, they did kinda said that some stuff from ET will be implemented as an events, but I'm guessing it will be 3K style, you may let ET writing do it's litte thing or you can just say no. Anyway, it's quite clear that the biggest appeal LOTET has is an opportunity to stop or at least twart the end times events. The endgame and stuff.
>>549244924Only a few days til 40k is confirmed
I am going to laugh so hard if the game at the Game Awards is Three Kingdoms 2.
I used to think that when tw40k wasn't getting announced the "tw40k confirmed crowd" would die out. Now I see that there is no dying out. Even without tw40k being confirmed they are perfectly content to say it's confirmed and coming any day now until they fucking die.I thought I was protecting this genreral with my gatekeeping, but now I see I didn't gatekeep hard enough....Im sorry to you all.
>>549245864Legend said the announcement would be med 3 and end times, and that 40k is going to be announced later at the game awards. A few hours later they announced med 3 and end times.
>>549246282>leg end
>>549246282The previous leak that correctly predicted Pharaoh said they were deciding between 40k and Star Wars after securing the rights to both, for a 2026 release.
>>549246381Thinking about it, they wouldn't have to decide between them until relatively late in development, right? Groundwork for making a laser gun TW on a galactic scale could be done for potentially years before they have to commit to either SW or 40k.

When it isn't and it's been consistent since Rogue Trader and still is>40k galaxy is one big ffa, perfect for Total War which just wants to have every faction everywhere>Galaxy is explicitly 3d which is why maps of faction holdings are overlapping each other. Imperium just claims they own everything. Nids attacked from "below">Imperium has no actual idea how much they rule and just claim its an Imperium of a Million Worlds because it sounds cool. Any attempt to map galaxy would be long outdated by the time it's finished>Stellaris style minor Xenos are absolutely everywhere despite not having minis, including Segmentum Solar. This is explicitly mentioned even in 10th Edition codex>Imperium is a bunch of loosely connected islands spread thin which makes fantasy Empire look like a completely centralized fascist state>planets rebel, are cut off and are conquered all the timehttps://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/i35e94/the_size_and_span_of_the_imperium_or_why_a/This is a nice compilation of quotes. 40k is a borderline 4x, one big FFA.

https://www.youtube.com/live/IVczFaXEGNw?si=svo0qdRgj_5qMY62&t=1591Why did he have such a bizarre reaction to the reaction about Dogs of War question about them coming in the future? What was he trying to hide?
in the ToT release Q&A the devs anwered the question about opening up ind and khuresh and said that games workshop literally will not allow them to open the area up on the map and instead they will try to open up other areas or add additional provinces to areas already on the map to give more space for lords. any idea why gamesworkshop would block that it? is it because they are still tweaking the maps there done there? like the new cathay book for old world completely realigned southern cathay compared to what is in game?
>>549246695Or better yet. 40k Imperium being a single faction is like Med3 just having a single Christendom faction. But actually even worse since Novgorod Republic had better connection to France than Imperium has within itself.
>>549248687Because currently they didn't have any minis to sell about Ind and Kuresh.
Ships company is kinda trash.. they get rekt every battle against the lowest trash units.
>>549248687Whatever doesn't exist yet but might be sold later by GW CA is literally not allowed to touch. They won't have some gay video game company potentially ruin their future money making opportunities, but they won't use it either. Imagine a company sitting on an IP. Cathay and Kislev have already been in the works for a long time before CA was allowed to add them to the third game. It just confirms there are 0% plans for Ind and Khuresh to be included into warhammer by GW in the future.
>>549248687>is it because they are still tweaking the maps there done there?Yeah, honestly letting some random studio you are licensing your IP to define it would be a cucked behavior. Cathay and Kislev exist only because GW Specialist Studio made them for Old World to further distance this setting from AoS. Old World would probably start with Kislev if slavs haven't decides to start killing each other recently.
>>549249039they can be upgraded a lot through aislinn's tech but yes they are kind of garbo and not very interesting other than having aquatic and being cheap

>>549250952Yeah, they're probably kicked Cathay out of End Times dlc for now.
>>549230568One of them will be a LH likely. Nurgle needs a LH aviable to all the nurglites (Tamurkhans are esclusive to him), but the faction icon for their faction was datamained in 2022
>>549250931Sorcerer obviously, for melee army lore of beast is pretty good because of cheap buff and debuff, and you can't go wrong with lore of fire, great damage dealer and good way to add magical attack to your infantry.
>>549251171what about master/death hag/ assassin? Death hag seems the most useful due to replenishment. No movement speed heros for Delfs I guess.
>>549251127Valnir is also the only champion missing, so I'm curious to see what will happen with Nurgle. Valnir LH would coincide with Aekold LH, but CA made Dechala and Arbaal LLs so who knows.
>>549251423Assassin is rather weak. Hags are anti-infantry option, Masters are anti-large. Both are alright at what they do.
>>549252130I'm planning on keeping lokhir off his dragon most of the time, so i'll probably go with a master. Thanks anon.

I realize all too late that I only keep coming back to W3 out of laziness. It's such a braindead game that I can fire it up and play it without putting any effort into it whatsoever.

Aislinn's economy is so fucking horrible, and he has so many bugs. Even Ship's Company is not really worth using for him. I'm spamming Lothern Sea Guard because despite shit economy he still has supply lines, and Lothern Sea Guard may get far less from Aislinn's unique techs, but they get far more from regular High Elf techs than the Ship's Company, so it evens out.

>>549254920Last part>Mentions in passing malekith eternity king stuff>Says CA literally picks characters entirely based on what people want on forums and their official discord. If they see like 30 people spamming for some lord for a year straight they will ask GW if they can do it.>When asked about the lords in the dlc he says I cannot say.....but it is called Lords of the End Times so be little detectives and wrinkle your brains and look at End Times lore to see which remaining lords had End Times rules and huge narratives I am sure you can figure out>Middenheim(He repeats it like 6 times.) played a huge role in End Times. There is only one storms of chaos army list not touched and it is the Middenheim army. Maybe a huge upgrade for Boris Todbringer. Valten....maybe Valten was there.
>>549255124I like asian factions. They have cute girls
>>549254920It's a good idea to separate end times stuff and chinese stuff
>Turn 26 as n'kari>Still just fighting high elves>Alarielle and Eltharion are vassalsNo variety whatsoever, other than kemmler deciding he hates me, but eltharion vassal beat a kemmler siege for me and is the first and only thing they've done, sent some guy to find masque and dechala but they're not really even close to confed. I can probably cult warp to cathay once I'm done with tyrion to maybe get dechala. Or I could just try dechala campaign anyone recommend it?
>>549255489I had the same fkn thing.. Kemmler just came shitting in my face and after like 6 turns begged for peace even tho we never once fought.
>>549255343You mean the “wrong” video that correctly predicted leering devil ogres, mung, taoyan the merciless and ogre paymasters?
>>549255489Dechala is fun, but super strong. You want marauders and the t2 anti large cav for her and of course more champs once you can recruit them. She buffs the fuck out of marauders and gives them super poison so you can field a cheap main army that's powerful. This allows you to get a second army up and running faster. You fight zombies, cathay, empire for the most part. Delfs and rats if you so choose or can ally them.
>>549255539Honestly louen could've attacked but he just hasn't. Grom doesn't really like me because I made the elves vassals idk why slaanesh vassals even count into diplomacy. Then again losing some of the coastline to a louen/kemmler/grom attack would be unlikely at this point but if the ai decided to do it early I would've been pretty fucked
>>549251423Death hags are great and do buffs with their big mountsThey can put out a lot of damage
Shouldn't I enact this then spam manipulation then recruit?
Haven't played since the patch came out and I wanted to get the DLC as well, but I have about 30 mods and I know the game will break.Going to disable all of them to begin with, QRD on which ones patches do and don't break?Obviously overhaul ones go without saying
>>549255365i was watching it too and got it right when he starts ranting about middenehim and that isn't full what he said but yeah he does seem to heavily imply todbringer is the flc ll and valten is the order lord for the dlc since he says this after saying multiple times he cannot say who is in the dlc because of ndahere is the time stamped part if anyone wants that part pretty sure the flc is borishttps://www.youtube.com/live/IVczFaXEGNw?si=yuQOigpLPRQPuWcb&t=13750

The more I kept playing Aislin the more I like him, I didn't like the campaign at first but once you get going hell yea.But compared to other helve factions its an incredibly slow start
wait what happened to never adding nagash cause he was too strong? has anyone seen andy hall? did he get killed offscreen by a skaven assassin
>>549257139I like him too, but CA has to fix him ASAP. How the fuck do you advertise him claiming that he can defend his outposts, but then bug that feature out if you upgrade one of the building chains? How do you mess that up TCALUK and/or TCALBULGE?
>>549256804>Some of the most exotic, varied factions in Fantasy>No, I want humans with swords and guns please
>wipe out donut>helf factions still alive>Aislin has migrated all the helves to LustriaReminds me of playing wh1 beastmen
>>549257508so am not insane you were supposed to be able to defend the settlment
>>549257504Andy Hall was the guy that said we were getting all the dragon siblings as legendary lords and that his dream lord was Valten because of all the mechanics and narrative he could write for him. I wouldn't use Andy Hall as a good source he is just the lead writer of the series.
>>549256804i swear empirefags obsession with ruining the wonderful simplicity of greatswords with 300 layers of armor + 200 sallet variations(and always a floppy hat kitbashed onto it) will never cease to amaze me. you have ONE faction with simple arms and armor with the flair being their clothing and they think it improves them to just turn them into med 2 dismounted knight variation #346
>>549257652yes, if you upgrade the free building added with every outpost that says you can attack, you lose it. How the fuck did CA mess this shit up???
>>549257743>things that never happened
>>549257792at this point I can bet they don't run QandAs because that would mean more work for them afterward
Which of these is better?
>>549257996right is a tarpit while left crumbles under a gust of wind
I wish factions would recruit more of what they are about.. I play aislinn and now all my high elven mates are running around with sea helms and ships company and mist mages... Alarielle should bring forest creatures and archersTyrion should bring melee heavy armiesTeclis all the pheonixesImrik all the dragons and cav..
>>549258170>Imrik all the dragons and cav..I've never seen Imrik survive the early turns desu
>>549257996Skink skirmishers are shittier Chameleon Skink for hit and run while Javelins are melee units with a few ammo for short range attacks. Javelins are better for shit melee
>>549258170They can't even have different AI profiles for different races, let alone individual LLs within those races. Small family company.
>>549258225Well he's unable to die because of me. I keep gifting the lowest holder of cities new cities in cathay so they always build new armies and get tons of money. None of them can ever die as long as I am alive.>>549258276Well.. they should.
>>549255782Nah, shang yang meme lords is a different one
Alright. If Valten is the End Times LL for Empire and the FLC is Boris Todbringert. Todbringer has to start in Middenheim which is a bit a problem because where is Valten to suppose to start if all his narrative is focused on Middenheim? Is it possible this is a dual lord starting location?
>>549258397>because where is Valten to suppose to startChaos Wastes taking fight to the enemy like Boris (kislev one)
>>549257504Nagash won't be playable, it's a new endgame crisis.
>>549258550If this is a narrative heavy dlc that doesn't quite make any sense. Especially since Valten never leftg the Empire in his lifetime.
Great.. found a bug.. can't take broken down gates with aislinn..
>>549258170With all the cheats the ai already get, I don’t think anyone would have any issues with lords recruiting thematic units even if they don’t have the correct building chains (assuming the main settlement is still the right tier)
So the next TWW game will be sigmar will it?
Which LL is the biggest bitch in their lore? Aislinn seems like a real contender for KWABOAT (heh)
Say, is there any good armies for trying to get better at real time battles? I want to be competent enough to try skaven but I genuinely suck ass at real time because this is my first total war.
>>549258750Aislinn is probably it. Runner up is Helman Ghorst who is a coffee intern for the Von Carsteins. Mannfred is also a little bitch.
>>549258750Not including End Times (there’s a lot of bitches there), it’s definitely Skarbrand
>>549258818Throw in a fast missile unit in any army and try to micromanage it. If you end up losing it, big deal

>>549259270I'm gonna need you to back up each statement with a source
>>549259220How so?
>>549259220When I attack a gate I can simply take it over. Just doesn't work when it's empty
>>549259270>they went for fucking hyenasCA didn't invent Hyenas. It was a Sega commissioned and funded project. If you go back a few years. Sega executives were saying that sega is ready to invest into a billion dollar IP that will be the future of the company. That IP was Hyenas and they gave it to CA because it's the only dev sega owns that made a successful first person game(Aliens).
>>549259490>When I attack a gate I can simply take it over. Just doesn't work when it's emptyOh ok that might be a bug then i just assumed Aislinn is not meant to take Cathay walls.
>>549259490Does it apply on all gates or just the bastion?
>>549259587I only tried the cathay bastion yet, haven't tried ulthuan walls.
>>549258397i am wondering if the empire is going to get wizard lords at all in the dlc. i would be fucking pissed if they do not give us both the priest of ulric as a hero and high priest of ulric as genric lord. having just the hero would be stupid as fuck. i still want wizard lords too though.
>>549259701Adding new casters to the Empire is problematic as they need a separate model for each school and that's too much Charlemagnes.
>>549259701I think we are going to get another empire dlc later on. There is still a shit load of stuff they can add for the empire. Like an entire army roster of halfling stuff. They can give us the wizard lord halfing versions instead of the human one.
Swordmasters of Hoeth are fucking great now.
>>549259970Did they get buffed? I don't see anything new in their stats.
>that absolute state of a "extra" tech tree for AssmanEmbarrassing CA
if chaos is so strong why don't they just win right away
Im way too used to SFO it seems. Rolling all over cathay and billion rats as Sayl is being so easy its ridiculous. And Im not even abusing his mechanics. Its mostly just bearmen and Beorg just walking all over everything.That said when you can doomstack Ettin runecallers on like turn 10... Norsca is freaking busted.
Sotek said multiple races in the DLC are going to get more than five units in the End Times DLC. Good for vampire I guess? Ulric army list is more than 5 units to get them all. Just a little concerned about putting Valten with the Ulric army since he is supposed to be Sigmarite it would be weird as fuck.
>>549260059They get a ton from techs and also from Loremaster of Hoeth.

>>549261057It feels good Hoemasters are finally cannonball deflecting sword gods they are supposed to be.
>>549257901But they also mentioned a month ago that they have a dedicated playtester for the game, so what's up with that? It just makes them look retarded because of all the bad design decisions in the game and the old bugs that are still not fixed. And they can also just requisition those fixes from mods, too.
>>549261315>they said>believing a corpoAlso I can bet most of the dlc buyers don't care about the bugs. They probably saw some new unit and UI and felt like they got their money's worth
>>549261274They are still a tightly grouped low hp unit, so even with all those buffs they get chunked by focus fire artillery and ranged, but they can survive it better, and are a terror to fight in melee. If only the white lions got love equal to this.

Worthless dogshit in a game where infantry units have upwards of 8k hp.Dechala gives ALL of the mortal units in her army a +10% WS buff which means that units with high base WS benefit most.What you actually want for Dechala:1. Chaos warrior and/or chosen frontline, but chosen are expensive and are overkill.2. Chaos knights - armored cav to charge into missiles and clear non-armored chaff and enemy cav.3. Champions of Slaanesh - Dechala buffs them massively with bonus +15% WS and +6 MA on top of +10% WS.4. Preytons for flying anti-large that also benefit from Dechala's +10% WS buff.
>>549263482anon...
Why am I having so much fun with a LIGHT cav of all things? Kurgan horsemen are so cost effective its really tickling my fancy.
>>549263714Why would you ever use knights when there is an option to use heartseekers or even better pleasureseekers?
>>549263447100 vs 120 units. Also spears come with charge defence bonus.
enemies should ally or confederate more
>>549264075>heartseekers or even better pleasureseekersNot mortal so don't get Dechala's +10% WS and Rage buff. No armor. Armor should never be underestimated. Heartseekers have a pitiful mass of 650 vs 1200 of Chaos Knights.
>sotek laughed at the idea of star warsholy shit I kneel to my pear master
>>549264260Pretty sure that even without the buffs Pleasureseekers far outperform Knights. Mass issue is valid, Knights are tactical missile while Heartseekers are mobile blenders. Both seekers are so fast and hit so hard that armor hardly matters for them.
3 sleeps 2 naps 50 dozing offs, 14 bings 30 bangs 10 bongs and 32 clangs left fellow imperial bros
>>549264487>Pleasureseekers far outperform KnightsDepends on the target. Knights will be more effective against non-armored targets. Pleasureseekers will also far outperform the knights in fucking dying to peasant bowmen.
The Ostyanka DLC is 50% off! Maybe a melee hero will make playing Kislev less miserable. It's fucked up that they're behind a paywall tho.
>>549240101Glottkin would be a nightmare to animate, it's 3 characters in 1
How often do you guys get into a campaign before getting bored? I almost never am getting to use my cool T5 units because by the time I'm able to recruit them the campaign has become such a cakewalk I cba.
>>549264681There aint no non armored targets in the game that wont break within 5 seconds of being charged by titty snakes.
>>549264846Some people still live in WH2.
I have a confession to makeI dont like warhammer fantasy, I think its agressively okay, and I am glad its grip on the franchise is over
>>549264846>There aint no non armored targets in the game that wont break within 5 seconds of being charged by titty snakes.>laughingslayers.jpgI'd charge my knights into slayers any day.
Fuck. Did Archaon get another 2 new sets of RoRs from what Norsca/Slaneesh got? He can field almost 2 full armies of RoRs now...
>>549264742>Melee heroYou mean the LH? Because Stinky only get hag heroes with the DLC
>>549264776I think the melee one should be a separate entity. It doesn't make sense for him to be riding the big lad with the sorcerer.
>>549264845I rarely make it past turn 30
>>549264982Imagine the daniel RoR stacks...
>>549261667This will make a fine addition to my collection
>bugfix 7.01 released>on a fucking SundayPoor Bulgarians and Bongs
>>549264970I shouldve specified RANGED targets. And you Charging cav into Slayers tells me all I need from your level of play.
>>549264776Imagine the Charlemagne...
>>549264942We will have at least 3 years of Warhammer Fantasy content, CA's next games are not ready to take the stage.
>>549264942>I am glad its grip on the franchise is over>ca goes bankrupt
>>549264845Highly inconsistant for me. I recently play WE campaign ang got turn 125. It was one of the best campaigns i have ever played. And now i want to drop my Satyl campaign because chaos won in Cathay.
>>549265065Feral's guys too, MAC version is broken.
>>549265087>I s-shouldve s-specifiedAfeter getting utterly BTFO the shitter backpedals kek.Not understanding why charging super armored knights into slayers who have no is a good idea tells me all I need to know about the brainless subhuman shitter mongoloid I'm talking to.
>>549265016That's a Legendary Hero?! Fucking hell... At least I get some hybrid infantry. Definitely not enough of that in Kislev.
>>549265250>who have no*who have no mobility
I have denied myself so much content in this game because I don't like playing as the mean guys
>>549265250retard they are fast for a dwarf
>>549262645Leaks didn't mention them, valarak said you can customize a chapter master/commander similar to Daniel regarding SM.
>>549265365faget
>>549265365I had the same problem in WH2.
>>549265365Based anti-empire frogposter
>>549265381They are very fast indeed when my 1200 mass knights catapult them into the stratosphere on the charge kek.
>>549265250You were talking about Cav being used against ranged and made retarded claim that Pleasureseekers would take damage from low armor "targets". Take your deflections offboard. Charging cav into Anti large against race where almost all their power is in their range is peak idiocy. Take your suboptimal autism play pill.
>>549265439You're mean and I would NEVER play as you
>>549265365But the Empire is the bad guys, imagine how many native beastmen they have killed in Middenland alone.
>>549265365I'm like this but i'm happy playing as Order exclusively. I sometimes dip my toes into Ogres and Tomb Kings but NEVER Counts/Coast and NEVER EVER Chaos.
>>549265365Mean guys? Mean how? It's all a matter of perspective...
>>549265496>You were talking about Cav being used against rangedI was talking about cav being used, you are the one who pulled the ranged strawman after getting shit shoved down your mongoloid maw.>Pleasureseekers would take damage from low armor "targets"Of course they will, be they ranged or melee. They have no armor. They have only a mere +15% physresist over the knights which have 5%.>Take your deflections offboard.I just took my "deflection" (more like defecation) on your dumb fucking forehead, subhuman.>Charging cav into Anti largeThat have no means of stopping the charge, have no armor or mass and no mobility to actually force the charging unit to stay in the fight... is a good idea and you are retarded subhuman shitter for having no luce how to play the game.Took my shit down your throat, subuman.
>>549265365You should play vlad now, because he is a good guy that cares about his subjects
>>549265365SameI feel no attachment to my campaign if I play evil factions, it just becomes a literal paint the map for me
>>549258750It's kind of the whole joke of Tretch that he's a coward who gets by on a combination of luck and throwing his comrades under the bus.
>>549264845I finish 99% of my campaigns. Fucking Daniel is the only one I will never complete, to the point I'm actually OK with not having that last Legendary achievement
>>549265365U will bow to Chaos.
>>549258750How? Sure Aislinn got his shit rocked but then he came back infused with the blessing of Mathlann. There are loads of Warhammer characters that got shit on only to get a power-up.
>>549265365There is 2 levels of "mean factions" thoughThe unga bungas>Chaos demons>Chaos Warriors>BeastmenThe civilized>Dark elves>Chaos dorfs>Skaven>VampiresI can never play the fist type, I can play the second, but my enjoyment is much lower
>>549265840How is life under the vampire counts?The in game events you get about stopping lords from being too mean on the subjects would indicate there is at the very least a basic standard of civility towards living subjects
>>549265921Isn't that Thanquol?
I like lizardmen a lot. But how to play oxyotl? and specifically should I focus on doing the missions or not?
>>549266135Pretty normal other than having to pay taxes in blood aswell as gold.
>>549266108Got bitched by Lokhir then bitched by Tyrion KWAB
What the fuck is this army.. fkn spider spam..
>>549266113Wh1 beastmen is a special type of rp campaign where you play a significantly less advanced society trying to survive Its enjoyable in a painful sort of way
>>549266142yes but it's rather standered for normal Skaven
>>549266250What if my blood tastes a little too good for my own good and the local lhamian gets really interested?
>>549266283Simply bad luck>AI loses settlement with infantry recruitment>It only has capital with spider building
>>549266135I'm pretty sure its not as bad as you'd think and the empire treats their peasants like absolute serfs
For half a year now the vamps bug out in this very city...
>>549266478Guaranteed that vampire counts is worse than empire. I say this as a deranged emp hater who has never played a single emp campaign
>>549266135Vampire corruption is draining life around, it's hard to go by.
>>549266135Vampire Counts tax human peasants less. The downside is that you'll have less/worse crops (because the soil is cursed/there's little sun), the game will hunt YOU and VC will be held accountable even less than Imperial nobles if one decides to torture you to death. Also the only way to move up on the ladder is to become a servant to said count with the hopes of eventually becoming a Vampire yourself (with all the afterlife consequences entailing it).Vlad von Carstein is a rarity in that he actually does treat his subjects as servants (to some degree) instead of tools to be turned to undead the moment their usefulness as living beings runs out. He still wouldn't bat an eye (pun intended) if, say, Isabella decides to turn you inside out for funsies
Overcasted Fate of Bjuna should delete 99% of any unit in game and shatter it, but also cost 27 ish winds
>>549266478VC peasants have the same serf deal but also>live in terror of unholy monsters walking the forests and hunting you at night>have to give your blood to your local lord >if you die your corpse ends up toiling even in death
>>549265496Dumb fucking retard.
>>549226628>Nagash book>Glottkin book>Khaine book>Thanquol book>Archaon book>DLC is 4 LL / factionNagash is confirmed, Thanquol and Glottkin seems granted.But is the last LL going to be based on the Khaine or Archaon book ?
the silent sanctum mechanic is so fucking boring holy shit.
>>549266739At least in the empire there's a legalistic framework that can remove corrupt lords. Ain't no way a vampire overlord is removed from office due to gorging on serfs
>>549266692Wasn't Gashnag also a good ruler to his people?
>>549266195Not the sweatiest player, but here's how I played Oxyotl: - Full skirmisher army- Conquer Southern Wastes- Oxyotl spams missions, one army in western end of Wastes fights (and ends up pushing back) Skaven flooding from southern Lustria
I asked CA dev about the next game.He only said "WINDS HOWLING"What could it mean...
>>549266135I think it's less shitty than being a Bretonnian peasant, as a joke
>>549265921Tretch is a hero in these halls.And I will hear nothing else on the matter
>>549267078Bretonnians peasants have a sweet gig, better than emps due to zero conscription
>>549266934Not that anon but yeah, Gashnag's by far the most reasonable with Vlad being close second. Thats two leaders out of an entire faction where all other options are living in literal hellscape, so it can be generalized as "living under undead rule is living in literal hellscape (some rare exceptions may apply)"
>>549266135>How is life under the vampire counts?It's shit. >there is at the very least a basic standard of civilityThere isn't.
>>549265365Play dark elves. The only real good guys in the setting.
>>549266794There's little to gain from adding another druchii lord, and the focus would be on revamping Malekith with that gay eternity king stuff anyway. Chaos as usual has plenty of possible additions, but you already got Glottkin, and otherwise the focus would be in revamping Archaon.The only logical choice is an ordertide faction, and the Empire is the primary candidate. Todbringer would be the most fitting, as he has thematic units to introduce and Middenheim takes a crucial role in thw narrative, buuuuuut... CA is probably going to do something dumb and pick Valten instead because he's more shiny
>>549266135If there's events about stopping them from being too mean, that just means they are mean by default.
>>549267326ET is all about Ordertide losingThen Sigmarines become a thing and mog all the Death, Destruction and Chaosniggers in the setting
>>549266794WoC already got everything that is in the Archaon book. The last missing units from it were added in the last Khorne DLC. The Nurgle one adds a decent amount of new units.
>>549266934Yes, to his people. Others - not so much and I would say that matters in the context of the original question because you may end up under a VC that neighbours Gashnag's lands and end up a victim of his all the same
>>549243493Asur world.
>>549265365I have no problem playing as norsca or warriors, because they are just other humans from the north with another set of beliefsYou'll never catch me playing filthy Vcoast, Delf or skaven though
>>549266195You're expected to do missions with sanctuary gems while building a second army for expansions back home. You get good money and can stack sanctuaries around to reduce upkeep to zero in your homeland
The Asur navy(that you can't use) stands ready(to not be playable)Naval battles doko
>>549267347No, it indicates that one of your lords being excessively mean to serfs is an anomaly that needs to be fixed.You don't get that for dark elves or chaos, because being dickheads its the norm
>>549265365I get it, it took me years to actually play villainous factions
If """high""" elves are so """good""", why don't they just send Alarielle to terraform Norsca into a land of eternal green pastures, forests and cute bnuuys instead of flesh-eating mammoth beasts? Then the virile Norscan men would have no reason to raid and plunder the southcuck sissies and everyone would live happily ever after.
>>549266195His campaign has not aged well, I'd just skip it it's really boring.
>>549267595Why? Do you not realize that every faction in TW commits ethnic cleansing when they take over a settlement? Well maybe with the exception of ones that use slaves because they actually use the original population for something instead of just turning them into fertilizer like everyone else. Which actually makes order factions more malicious and evil.
I'm sick of fighding Chaos Dwarves.The keep throwing armies like this at me every two turns.
>>549267756>worker spam>"army"lmao
>>549267756Increase the difficulty, you'll be grateful they're feeding you xp and gold in a critical stage of campaign
>>549267640If """high""" elves are so """good""" why do they reject their legitimate king?
>>549267794Auto resolve still leans in their favor so I have to fightEVERYSINGLEONE
>>549267640Because high elves aren't good and only care about their own prosperity. All their allies only exist to ensure a comfortable life of people on Ulthuan. Elves canonically disregarded humans until Norscan raids started threatening them and sent out Finubar and Teclis to turn the Empire into a meatshield against Norsca.
>>549267727>Which actually makes order factions more malicious and evil.This level of delusion is impressive.
>>549267862Empire dreams of a Bretonnian genocide in lore. When you do it in TW it's more loreful than attacking Norsca or the Chaos wastes.
>>549267640Elgi aren't goodElgi were never goodElgi are wazzocks
Guys, I am back to liking Total War.
>>549267961>Empire dreams of a Bretonnian genocide in lore. When you do it in TW it's more loreful than attacking Norsca or the Chaos wastes.t. account based in Warp

One of the Masque's dances gives Frenzy to the entire army.All generic lords in her faction can use this dance.The Masque's faction is S-tier.
>>549268041Lorlet moment. Sigmarite faith advocates death to all humans that don't recognize Sigmar. It's the Ulricans that are the moderates in the Empire.
>surely we can come to an agreement, for are we not all sons of Sigmar?>how about a non-aggression pa->I DON'T AGREEFucking elector counts. What's their problem?
>>549267640Because Norscan saars immediately try to rape any elven woman on sight. The only solution to the n*rsii problem is endless chivalric crusades. Or Teclis drops comets on the whole sub-continent.
>>549267326the real dumb move would be a Cathay OC because they jobbed to Grimgor
>>549266734Sayl can get mastery of the elemental winds for all his spellcasters factionwide, so theoretically if you make a full wizard stack you can make fate of bjuna delete units.
I've been reading the end times books and Im genuinely enjoying it. I hope GW re-releases the books so I can collect them.
>>549266750Just because you can do it doesnt mean you should retard.
>>549268167I feel bad recruiting marauders but I need an anvil
>>549268182The house of the Reikland electors is tainted.
>>549268283>you shouldn't do it because some retard who is objectively wrong saidKek, eat the shit I shoved down your maw in silence, subhuman.
>>549268272If they aren't on the black library catalogue they won't be ever reprinted. Only books that get them are from Forge World books like Liber Chaotica which had a reprint a few years ago. I guess Tamurkahn will get a reprint in 2031 too.
>>549268112That hairline suffered a valiant defeat
>>549268198can't find where it does that
>>549267567>A faction cannot be bad if there's a worse factionWhile I agree DE and Chaos serfs have it worse, I still remain unconvinced that being Vampire servant wouldnt be a shitty proposition.
WE ARE SO BACK!!!https://youtu.be/KRZsgUpECrY
>>549268532it's in the tech tree, the tech you get from defeating Cathay 10 timesthe other Norscan factions may or may not get it too, haven't played them yet
>>549268679thank you
>>549268581Imma be real dawg I really wish for literally anything but more warhammer even if it's in space
>>549268581not watching fatrack
>>549268182Empire state leaders are oligarchs. This is totally realistic. Just look at current situation with Russian oligarchs:>We all just want peace :(>How about NAP?>Fuck no unless you concede provinces as concession to cheese our diplomatic evaluation
>>549268182>just sell your family and your land to that serial conman KarlNext thing he will offer you is the import of skilled workers from Ind and Kuresh.
>>549268581ITS UP!!!
>>549268189Norscan rape is good though, you need rape to make the Lord of the End Times
>>5492486871)Because these parts of the map are not maped yet (see pic).2)GW is going to map them for TOW big map (remember the Sotek rumor about GW working on Ind and Khuresh ?)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPO91Xe4RHA&t=6091https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPO91Xe4RHA&t=68833)GW no longer seems willing to let CA add new content based on TOW factions (Cathay and SOON nu-Kislev) before they are added first in TOW, unlike what was done at the beginning of TWW3 lifecycle (released before TOW) which was literally used to advertise Cathay and nu-Kislev design.
What would Karl Franz be called if he were a Tilean?Or a Kislevite?Or an Estalian?Bretonnian?Cathayan?Arabyan?Dawi?Druchii?Asur?
>>549268198I'm saying it should do this straight out of the box. It wouldn't even be op
>>549269185what a vile looking specimen
>>549268535Unless you have some affinity with magic, being a vampire servant would suck. You would most likely live in a run down village where you’re constantly being harassed by undead beasts, skeleton guards, gypsies and ghosts. And that’s assuming a necromancer doesn’t decide that he needs you to pull his corpse cart
>>549268759>Russian oligarchsAre all subservient to the central state. Those that aren't subservient are either in jail or dead. Russian """oligarchs""" are just Putin's talking heads.
>woke up with a terrible stomach ache, just barely made it to the bathroom>had to quickly stand up, flush, turn around and kneel because I needed to vomit right after shidding>several hours later still need to throw up, kneeling by the throne and releasing an artillery barrage of vomit >the muscle spasms from throwing up also made me involuntarily shart on my bathroom floorFuck off Nurgle I hate you so much I'm not going to play your shitty campaign
>>549264776You can always make him a wind spell
>Nukes NagashHow many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?
>>549268535In sylvania you are exposed to dark magic pollution so people there live short lives full of disease.
>>549269519damn, that's rough bro. Your buddy Tzeentch can help you out.
>>549269575Yeah warpstone is his biggest weakness in lore but GW wanted him to be supers strong so they just pretended rats are more retarded than usually.
>>549269478>gypsies
>>549269796Anyone would die if stabbed by a 13 times cursed mega uranium dagger plunged into your heart, by an assassin guided like a mecha by a horde of rat mages
I like insane women
So, once Nagash has conquered all of the world and is the undead ruler for all eternity, what exactly does he expect to do for all the rest of eternity?
>>549251486Gutrot Spume ?
>>549266392welcome to the family son, but its probably not going to a lahmian, male lahmians dont really get a lot, theyre manhating lesbians for the most part, because their progenitor got rejected for being an evil whore and a cunt
>>549269997I guess being worshipped, he's a control freak not a Keynesian
>oh cool new DLC>buy it>load up a Karl campaign with WW1 mod>againI'm part of the problem..
>>549270000I meant only god champion missing from the Aekold, Arbaal, Dechala and Valnir generation
>>549269938Same
>>549269997Nothing. His main motivator is his paranoia that everyone wants to betray him. He has no plan beyond killing everyone and controlling their corpses. This is explored in AoS where he achieved his goal of having a entire plane of existence comprised only of beings completely subservient to him.
>>549254605
So what's verdict on the new dlc?
>>549270216I like Sayl and Dechala. Dropped Aislinn and I'm not considering returning to him. Want to do a Masque run because the best slaanesh units in the DLC are daemonic and Masque is the demon LL for Slaanesh.
is new update good or big shit?
who's a good relatively generic/good option to learn skaven? also, how should I play their armies/build them?
>>549270049>He's a control freak not a control freak>>549270198>This is explored in AoS where he achieved his goal of having a entire plane of existence comprised only of beings completely subservient to him.... well? Does he have fun staying there all day? Does he play board games with his skeletons?
>>549270375Thrott is the least gimmicky since he can buff everyone
>>549270375Queek is the LL if you want to learn skaven. But if you want to have fun with Skaven play Throt or Ikkit.
>>549270475is he good for a total newbie to the genre (both RTS & grand strategy)?
>>549270216Aislinn is complex but not in an engaging way, instead of having an interesting economy his campaign progress is just gated by 5 different currencies that are all generated in different ways. He's like Nakai but bloated beyond all measure. He would've genuinely have been better served being a High Elf FLC that just copies all of Lokhir's stuff.I don't play Chaos.
>>549270468shitty liberal I hope the beastmen rape you
>>549270468>Does he have fun staying there all day?No he's seething that there are realities where people have fun and are alive. Also he hates Sigmar because everyone likes him and no one likes Nagash(even his own puppets). He will never be content.
https://www.totalwar.com/news/our-vision-for-total-war-medieval-iii>imagine >imagine >imagine >imagine imagine if TCAL actually posted some pre-alpha screenshots or something instead of a shitty live action announcement of an announcement
>>549270541skavens aren't good for newbies. Try the empire or the vampires
>>549270635>Pre-alpha screenshotsThe game isn't even in development yet, frogposter...
>>549270375Pestilens has a great lore, great buffed units and fun special mechanics like making plagues actually good etc
>>549270635They want to develop Med3 with community feedback so not even salty tankies like volound can say they don't care.
>>549268345Keep playing suboptimally, but dont try to spread your shitty practices to others. God dlcs always bring out the actually shitty players.
>>549270773why would they announce it if it wasn't?
>>549270795dont really care about lore, more interested in the in-game performance
>>549270795>sending a new skaven player to lustriaCruel and ratlike.
>>549270873Because they're retarded. They explicitly said it's in pre-production, so literally the ideas phase before any actual work is done.
>>549270873to appease Shareholders
>>549270925I said they buff a great lore of magic. The LL is the best skaven plague caster in the game. Great start pos, fun units ie infantry no gimmicky weapons teams faggotry, have fairly lethal plagues if you struggle with hard settlements etc
>>549270682is there anyone you'd recommend in particular? Vlad, Helman, Elspeth, and Volkmar all look cool or should I just choose each of their initial lords?
>>549271096mmm Volkmar is a tad bit gimmicky but his starting position isn't the worst.Empire is heavily relying on combined arm while vamps rely on tarpits (waves of bodies) while a few elites plus magic kill the opposing forces. Ghorst can be boring. I'd say go for Vlad so you can see the empire landscape then if you don't like it switch to either Karl Franz or Elzbeth
>>549270873Well, this is just my speculation, but I suspect they made the announcement to get ahead of some major decisions on Sega's part about the future of CA.
>>549265365Chaos is to one-dimensional for me. I like to immerse myself into the faction which I cant seem to do.>Stinky bloated fat ass>Ragedemon Angry horse>Jewish scheming birds and their shabbos goyim>Fencesitter the Everchosen>Shin from Hokuto no Ken>all just want to destroy the world
>>549270873So sega won't shut down the studio
>>549271424>I like to immerse myself into the factiontf does that mean
>>549271424>all just want to destroy the worldthis is what makes chaos so relatableone might even say, he just like me fr
I don't think you retards realise the implications of w40k game being released. the amount of autisma dn faggotry will make ratposters look like saints.
>>549271543NTA but it's hard to RP as the bad guys because there's not much that can be done with "I want to rule/destroy the world". Which is the motivation for every non-order race.
>>549271647nah 40k doesn't have a furry faction, at worst the women will come because of the tyrannids
I just like pestilens' whole aesthetic
>>549271543Open a dictionary retard
>>549271647only spiteful faggots care about such things
>>549271660What about >Daniel and destroying Kislev or something?
>>549271660I've said this before but pre-patch beastmen taught you to think like a seething caveman, coveting and loathing the security and superiority of human castles
>>549266794Pretty sure the last one will be a "race of good", and given how Sotek keeps mentioning "Totally don't know but ....Middenland is the last not used army list form SoC ... Uh I don't know but ... Middenheim is very important in ET lore ...No idea but .... Valten is kinda important ...." I think we know who the 4th LL is going to be.unless they pull off a surprise and Valten is the freeLC
>>549270635Mate, they are not in pre-alpha, they are in PRE-PRODUCTION.They haven't even started working on the actual game yet
>>549271813>pre-patch beastmenAll I did was hide in the forest pressing end turn until I got minotaur stacks and then steamroll everything.

archaon is literally the only morally good character in the entire setting
>>549272065That game is gonna be a 0/10

>>549266135Good.(If you weren't a pretty girl, a rebel lord, a priest, or a witch hunter).
>>549272323you say that like space marines won't be the most OP faction in the game already lmao
>>549267326>There's little to gain from adding another druchii lordYour Magma Dragon and Khaine Golem ?
Any mod to make Attila more colorful and vibrant? its so desaturated and brown, id much rather have something on the lines of the original Rome Total War palette in battles
>>549269478>You would most likely live in a run down village where you’re constantly being harassed by undead beasts, skeleton guards, gypsies and ghosts.From what I've read the skeleton guards would leave peope alone. THey'd have zero reason to pester you unless they were commanded to do so.
>>549272874What if they have a bone to pick with me?
>>549272686Try the Venus, Mars, and Apollo mods. Idk how much it will impact the performance, though.
>>549267640>"send USAID (Ulthuan Society for the Advancement of Inferior Denizens), you evil elves people ... plz help, fuck elves people ... gimme that ..."
>>549272874What if you walked up to a skeleton guard and started touching her crotch area? Would she still leave you alone then?
>There are Vampire apologists ITTWhat a grim state of affairs.
Not one incel in Cathay. I command everyone to fuck and suck.
>Arslinn cannot pronounce Asur correctlyIs he retarded?
>>549269519One of us! One of us! One of us ...
>12 hours straightMy eyes are crisp, I just won my first campaign as a new player, is this the average time for a short victory? how many people bail and just start a new campaign vs keep going, I feel like I didn't get the proper experience playing on easy but it was still hard and battles were fucking me, I learned the word "Pyrrhic"
>>549273316short victory is nothing, actual victory is the long one
>>549273316>how many people bail and just start a new campaign vs keep going,It varies. Some campaigns are more fun lategame than others but just bear in mind a campaign won't culminate in a satisfying conclusion, it will just sort of peter out as you become too strong to ever feel challenged and managing so many armies and settlements becomes tedious rather than fun.
>>549270635>Imagine for a moment like this:>The year is 1187.>You defend Jerusalem against Saladin; the Kingdom of Jerusalem prevails.>Constantinople is never sacked; the Byzantine Empire never falls. With the Byzantines as your allies, you defeat the Mongols.>As the Kingdom of Jerusalem, you proclaim yourself defender of the Catholic church, and Jerusalem becomes the capital of the Christian world.
>>549273316Usually at turn 50, and I don't bother to chase a short victory at all.
>Blind warOk now this is FAR more hilarious than Snikch just eliminating a faction.
>>549273316Congrats anon
>>549273316Short victory isn't actually a victory, it doesn't even give you the achievement
>>549273316>plays dwarf>quits on short victory and not until all lost holds have been returned to the Karaz Ankor and all Grudges struck from the bookNgmi
>>549273316>Short Victory>Dwarfs
>>549273670
>>549273316Don't listen to anons giving you shit, short victory is fine, the game isn't challenging in late game anyway
Warhammer fantasy Vampire counts do the Grave guard have Souls or are they in the afterlife?
>>549273260It's a regional dialect.
>>549267640>terraform Norsca into a land of eternal green pastures, forests and cute bnuuys instead of flesh-eating mammoth beasts>Norscans now can sustain higher population>They are still chaos worshipping insane snowniggers living close to giant portals to hell tho so they just continue raiding, killing and raping but in far bigger numbersBrilliant plan anon
>>549273929Grave guard are wights. Meaning they are souls strong enough to manifest after death and not strong enough to resist necromantic spells.
>>549273146Used to be worse back in the days of the first two games. Copious amounts of posts about Vlad being a good guy and how the world would be better off under vampire governance.
>>549274064 Okay what vampire counts grunt or Mark shirt units don't involve doing anything to a persons inmortal soul?
>>549274076That's true. Only lie would be the Vlad part. Manfred would actually be good for everyone.
>>549273821not giving him shit, short vic is just meaningless
>>549273821late game is easier but also more fun because you can make use of everything you've unlocked
>>549274181That would be zombies and skeletons. Anything higher involves enslavement of souls.
stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen
>>549274076I remember a Vladfag started reading the Vampire Wars novels and said he had to stop because they were making Vlad look too evil and it was ruining his headcanon.
>>549274601yeah
>>549274336 What about those green cannibalistic thingies and those flying thingies that aren't bats control by on that energy and I mean that while till we normal fell backs the other bat figures I'm not so what they are exactly.Not counting those ghost things obviously those are people spirits.From the Banshee to the Infantry goes to the Cavalry ghost,
>December 2025>Still no Chaos endgame scenario>Even though it was in game 2
>>549274601Always been, and we love it for it.
>>549274735daddy chill its coming
>>549274601If Aislinn is gonna have one of these as a mount then it at least ought to be a unique one. Instead the one he gets is just a generic version. They were so lazy with his skill tree aside from the buffs to the new swordsmen unit that nobody wants to use anyway.
>>549274215Based
>>549274601Imagine wasting a slot to make a HE DLC for that shit and the low quality water pngs
>>549274707Ghouls are just human cannibals. They work for free food the vampires give them. Bats are just animals but the type the VC use is a dead and resurrected version for easier control(that's why they don't suffer moral losses or frenzy like normal wild animals should).
>>549274181Ghouls, they are (corrupted) living people.
>>549267640Elves aren't good or elevated in any spiritual way, they are just fantasy Ku Klux Klan
>>549273316Congratulations anon.For me short victory is the point at which I decide if I want to keep going or I stop and just start a new campaign. I would have to be really bored to drop a campaign before short victory. Also I generally take around 40 or 50 turns to get a short victory, and about 100 for long victory.You'll struggle with the difficulty for some time, but if you notice it start getting too easy, don't be scared to increase it. I play all of my campaigns in legendary/very hard, but I started as an easy/easy.
>>549275006>>549275006>Ghouls What about the big green one that come in much smaller size of them?
>>549274601Is dark blue the regular bird color ?
>>549275064>Elves...are just fantasy Ku Klux Klanwtf i love elves now
>>549274215Unironically yes, Mannfred would be by far the better choice because he hates other vampires. His ideal world would be one where he is the only vampire with maybe a few most trusted gay concubine vampires. Vlad on the other hand turns everyone who catches his eye into a vampire, so the living populace has to sustain a higher number of the bloodsuckers. Vlad turned Konrad, Mannfred wouldn't.
>download Mixus LL's>adds Korhil (White Lion focused)>doesnt start with a WL building like Ungrim does with Slayer building>N'Kari completey shits on you unless you bait him into attacking you near the town at Turn 1Are Wgite Lions any good in the first place?
>>549275352>Are Wgite Lions any good in the first place?lolno
>>549275352>are big cats any good when you can use a cannon or a giant flying reptile with firepower?
>>549275352>Are Wgite Lions any good in the first place?They're good in MP (as are most units) when you need a conservatively priced source of AP to chop up something like gay dwarf warriors.
>>549275352White Lions are good in Alistar's army, that's the unique half-legendary lord that Tyrion can recruit.
>>549275352they are good in Alastar's army
>>549275352>Are Wgite Lions any good in the first place?Yes. They shit on dwarfs and chaos warriors. But having them fight against anti infatry + physical resist daemonettes is just retarded.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HALaIaqSLHsThis game needs music like this. Also would you play a TW remake of Shadow of the Horned Rat?
>>549268287It is cool, they are very cost efficient and they let your Daemonettes do their thing. Dances don't discriminate between mortals and Daemons.I do recommend that you focus on Daemonettes for Masque's own army. She gives more than enough buffs to compensate for their squishiness.
>>549275710>Shadow of the horned rat>Box art is an imperial guy and orcsHuh
>The new cathay maps include plenty of chokepoints, including a map that is literally thin ravineI fucking love it.
>>549276057I wish we actually got maps like this againIf I ever see another rolling hill with trees randomly patched around it'll be too soon
>>549273316Thanks all, I noticed with everything set on easy it was too tempting to just solve my problems with the the generous Auto Resolve rather to get a worse result with my own battle skill, would changing the campaign difficulty to normal but leaving the battle difficulty easy change this and force me to the real time battles a bit more? I'm not sure if campaign difficulty is the thing controlling auto resolve being generous in my favour
>>549271679>40k doesn't have a furry factionSpace Wolves
>>549276057Shit map that only favors armies with ranged. If you have no ranged you will suffer, because you cannot get all of your units through the choke.
>>549273146>>549274076 I, for one, welcome our new immortals overlords.
>>549274735At this point its obvious they are absolutely saving it for an End Times DLC
>>549274735Why would the only good guy faction in the game have a end game crisis? They aren't a threat to anyone. Just free yourself from the shackles of your false gods and you'll see.
>>549276210If you want to play the battle more, then turn up the battle difficulty at least to normal or hard, and keep the campaign difficulty at easy while turning down stats cheats. Battle difficulty will also heavily favour the player in autoresolve, so if you fight a valiant defeat, it might actually be impossible to win.
>>549276258Ranged? It allows you to form a full Thermopylae while lord drops magic on the massive blob of enemy AI ranged units. It favors Artillery and magic for sure, but I love how it spesifically FUCKS Cav and dogs.

reminder that luthor harkon shot a ratwhat did your lord do?kneel to some bookworm nerd fagash magic bitchimagine having a floating book vfx lmao just go to the library DORK
Aislinn's campaign is so unfocused..you have this big emphasis on trade, lots of tech and skills that boost trade...But then your trade fucking sucks because you're not actually producing any trade goods since you're just gifting colonies so you end up with an awful economy (which seems to be mitigated by the dragon ship upkeep reduction) but in order to get dragon ships you have to have money so the cycle repeats
>>549276858>reminder that luthor harkon shot a ratThat wasn't Luthor Harkon, it was Luthor Harkon
>>549277153High Elves are meant to suck.
Lots of people playing Dechala and Aislinn. Anyone picked Sayl?
Which of the older Total Wars are worth playing? I've only played Rome 2 and Warhammer
Now that the dust has settled, was this DLC any good? For me it's:ToD>ToT>>>OoD>>>>>SoC
>>549277610Shogun 2 is the where the series peaked and I say that as a non-weeb.
>>549277610Shogun 2
>>549277803No DLC will ever match the Warden and the PaunchThe Rogue Idol alone had more budget than this whole DLC put together
>>549277803Best to worst (in my humble opinion):Thrones of DecayForge of the Chaos DwarfsTides of TormentChampions of ChaosOgre KingdomsOmens of DestructionShadows of Change
>>549278004Shit DLC that was the beginning of the retarded powercreep.
>>549278159>almost every dlc is chaos shitchaos sucks man
Did they release a hotfix on sunday? Did hell froze over or something?
>>549277803Norsca and HE reworks are on par with Empire and Dwarf imo. Apart from few fuck ups like Slaanesh Devotees and Oceanids, very solid dlc and update.
>>549278185If you thought that powercreep was bad now...Wait until Lords of the End Times.
>>549278185If you thought that powercreep was bad now...Wait until The Grim and the Grave 2.
>>549278246bulge aryans do not get time off
>>549277610Medieval II and Shogun II are two of my personal favorites, along with 3K.
>>549275140Enjoy.
>>549277610all of them
Why doesn't CA just make an AoS game that will be to WH trilogy what Attila was to Rome 2?
>Kroq-Gar campaignPure comfy
>>549279118But they are? Age of Sigmar Total War is getting announced on the 11th.
>>549279118they are
>>549277452Why would you play Sayl? Both Wulfrik and Throgg are more fun.
>>549279118Total War Total Trannification
Will Valrak commit suicide on stream if it actually ends up being Total War Star Wars or, god forbid, Total War AOS?
I will pre-order the next Total War game.
>arrives late to the battle>sees dread maw>turns around and leavesI would do the same thing desu
>You run into level 50 AI hero who follows around doing wounds on your every hero>even if you wound them theyll be back by the time YOUR hero has recoveredI want option to perma delete an enemy hero that doesnt rely on god rng AND is useless against heroes past 20.
>be new>do prologue (pretty good so far)>go against the khorne demon lads>just throw every unit onto them, right-click enemy units and eventually win even though i have no idea what the fuck im doing i really should start studying how to approach my battles, even if i end up winning
>>549277452Yup. He is fun, his effects range from useful army movement freeze to bonkers like making a faction declare war on everyone they know.
>>549277452>Sayltoo easy
total treenigger death
>>549279498The dread maw is the salving grace of this DLC
>>549279417Which of the two would cause more seethe among the 40k goblins you think? For this place it would be sigmar of course, but what about the larger "fanbase".
>>549279631This was me yesterday, I'm only just learning how to brace and face your units for defence against flanking and charging because the game doesn't directly teach you this or any mechanical extras like path drawing which is kinda baffling
>>549279859Oh AOS 100% it's not even close, there's way more people looking forward to 40k compared to AOS.
>>549279859they're called grots, unc
>>549278203>Warhammer has a huge focus on chaosNO WAY
>>549279118they are.SEGA went to CA and told them "yo we want you to develop a TW title that'll sell even less than Thrones of Britannia
Are the norscan bear men really that good?I see them in every single screenshot post-DLC
>>549279927>path drawingWhat's this
>>549280329sayl boosts them and they're good for their price
Chaos is the main character of Warhammer. Seeing how it becomes more soi infused with Empire players over the years is heartbreaking.
>>549280486lucky we got grimdark cathy
>>549280348With a unit selected you hold alt and can draw lines with right click and the unit will follow it, you draw big half circles to get your units to flank behind enemies
>>549280348It's the thing when you keep SHIFT pressed + right click, right ? (allowing you to order unit to follow a precise path).
>>549280348Hold shift and right click lets you draw a line for your unit to follow
Are you excited for the return of your world ruler, anon?
>>549280480He doesnt, Beorg the LH does. With him they are about equal to champions. In fact its better to not have them with Sayl because it kinda wastes him gettign entire army immune to psych that Beorg already gives via frenzy.
>>549281005Not really, but the world and Archaon changes are nice
>>549280329I've been using them because it's something different than the same marauders and like >>549280480 said they are very cost effective. They are slow though so you use them more like baby chaos warriors than marauders.
>Oceanids dont have magical attacksWhats the fucking point of this unit then?
I don't know why people were complaining about Sayl, I'm fucking loving this campaign aside from challengers proccing my alliances and spooking the shittier ones. For what it's worth I didn't attack da bragh or vilitch, I just went straight into Cathay when possible and now there's a chaos civil war going on after all the order factions have died.
>>549281045>Archaon changes are niceI wonder what they'll do.
>>549281010>He doesnt, Beorg the LH does.yeah that was it. sayl boosts the horsemen.
>>549281189Meat shields vs phys attack.
>>549281338I bet they'll reskin Tamurkhan's chieftains for him
>>549281338>>549281428I suspect that however Nagash's collect-an-LL mechanic works will be mirrored in Archaon's campaign.
>>549281338make him mega OPI'LL HAVE THIS WORLD, KID
>>549281364While giving them WS and Poison does make them early game carrying power, its kidna redundant since he also buffs Rune ettins and you can spam those at turn 10 if you get the blue building. He buffs those too, but much more substantially. The Perfect vigor for the horsemen comes bit too late for my taste.
>>549281404HEs already has rangers that do the same shit cheaper and better
>>549281754That's just standard now.
>>549281808yeah
>>549281005reminder chaos was scared of this dude
>>549281197Sayl's campaign is like one long questline, like the campaigns in Troy. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, but I can see how players who just want to raze and pillage wouldn't like him so much.
>>549281886Only because he would ruin the fun they had on the planet.
>>549281802Lol, lmao even. That's not what rangers are for. Rangers are like wet tissue paper compared to water dildos. For example I used oceanid unit to hold down demis and they won the duel. Rangers would be fucking obliterated in this case.
are we still pivoting?

>>549282513You will never get better at the game if you exclusively play range-focused factions. This is coming from someone who used to derive endless hours of fun from Armstrong and Gatling gun stacks in FotS.
>>549283027Why?
>>549282940The north decides
>>549282940Throgg is greenskins lite which is great, Wulfrik can finally fuck off where ever he pleases like in the lore so thats great, and Sayl and his fuckery are amuzing way to abuse cathay and Archaon. Very good rework.
