based ligger OP
Thanquol soon, friends!
I'm glad we get to play as Alpha Legion on release.
Even as a VTuber enjoyer, this thread is superior
>>549933321Checking the latest Custodes codex, I counted 18 models, three of them being named characters, and of the remaining 15, three are Shield-Captain, Shield-Captain (Terminator Armor) and Shield-Captain (on a Jetbike)
Total War: Gangs of New YorkThoughts?
>>549941890Kinda reminds me of Empire of Sin
>40k total war gets announced>you are too old for videogames nowIt's over
Neferata soon, mortals!
>>549938367The fuck am I looking at? What is this shit? Shit looks like Age of Sigmar.
>>549945979Custodes wish they were as cool as stormies
40K WON BIG
>>549935319>Almost guaranteed updates for all the undead factions>Still no Lizardmen rework in sightWhen does the Great Plan account for us?
did the devotees of slaanesh get added armor piercing missiles?I thought they didn't have it.
>>549950024Are there any lizardmen units or lords left?
>>549950024>Still no Lizardmen rework in sightI thought they already did a rework for them? What was that thing from a month or so ago? They did something with the Slann iirc.
It's kind of amazing how little faith I have in this company

Ignore the samefagging /vt/roon.
>>549955116>india total poop
>>549955193why would an elf be attracted to such inferior beings? Even Yrliet is repulsed by the idea of intercourse.
>>549952043There's a handful of units that they could throw in. Culchan Riders, Great Crested Skinks on Horned Ones, maybe a dual weapon Saurus variant or a hero Kroxigor. Also Tetto'eko and Chakax for LL and LH.But the real thing that needs to be done is a mechanical overhaul of the race and the individual factions. The geomantic web and blessed spawn mechanics are still dogshit and most of the factions have no mechanics at all to speak of.>>549952453They've done a few minor changes to make them slightly less shit. Like adding more units to the blessed spawn pool and adding all the Slann variants + making the younger generations feel different and useful. But they still haven't addressed the shitty race-wide mechanics and the like of any faction mechanics for most of the factions. Even the ones with mechanics aren't great.
>>549955516Yrliet is an autistic retard, as most Aeldari areDrukhari don't have those inhibitions
>>549935319How long after 40K launches do you think we'll need to wait for Tau, Necrons and Votann?
>>549955516You know what they say about white women and dogs?Same thing.
>>549955516>he doesn't know
>>549955575>>549950024At the pace they are making DLC and how they announced they have two big titles on the works? Expect nothing more. WH3 is on a skeleton crew.
You look lonely.
>>549954508>>549954824>>549954674You all act as if people wouldn't love the chance to try and show off their superior skills
Why is Arbaal so much better a wanderer than Wulfrik, despite the latter literally being called the Wanderer, huh?
>>549955818Their idea of having fun with you is turning you into a living chair. Not a good time.
>>549955973We get gorgeous space elves on releaseFeels good man
>>549955863Game 2, four(6) years after.
>>549956016That's individual MPfags, you'll never get a Malevelon Creek situation where it becomes a huge rallying cry and everyone pitches in. Nobody is going to care if the Orks win this round, or the Eldar win that round. At best, people will complain if a given faction wins too often.
>>549956016I can already picture it now, Milk and cummies rallying his fanbase to take back a sector for the imperiumonly to lose with his elite space marine army to a couple of boyz
>>549956032>Not a good timeNot for (you) it isn't
>>549956032>that Dark Eldar stare after you ask her to sit on your face
>>549956053I don't engage with 40k outside of this general but i'm starting to think these Elf broads are built for correction..
>>5499561584chan will naturally drift towards daboyz.They aren’t my favorite faction by a mile, but I will enjoy the feeling of angering autistic manchildren on reddit.
im playing warhammer total war and it feels shallow. i just build the money building and in battle i right click into the mosh pit, if i have a wizard i cast the horizontal damage spell and win
>>549956354reddit complained if it was more than that
>>549956354what do you want? and economy where you have to balance five different resources?
Dawnless Days bros! Sound off who you playing first!Rohan!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pis3veqKl8k
They said the game will feature "iconic heroes", but does that mean the game will have Legendary Lords like TWW or what? Because I'm not sure how that would square with their pitch for customizable armies. Like, you build an army of all red dudes and then you've got this one blue dude leading the army even though it makes as much sense as Markus Wulfhart leading Nuln.
Total War: 40k should have a galactic war similar to Helldivers where each player's campaign results aggregate and affect how the galaxy looks for everyone.
>>549956354Yeah Warhammer is all about spectacle. If you want strategy you'll have to play the older historical games. I'd recommend Three Kingdoms.
>>549956030He's....undefeated.....at being a wanderer.
>>549956437im mordoring
>>549956320I like Orks as far as their faction theme and attitude are concerned, but I love WW2 more so I have to go IG. Sorry.Would play Emperor's Greenest, thoever.
>>549956437Mordor ofc, not playing Gondor until Arwen is in.
>>549956451It works on a simple premise: asskicking/seniority = authority.
>>549955575>But they still haven't addressed the shitty race-wide mechanics and the like of any faction mechanics for most of the factions. Even the ones with mechanics aren't great.What mechanics do you want for them?
>>549956475If it was purely for fun factor and maybe some cosmetic goodies (fancy banners etc) then that would be amazing
Could Arbaal win The Game, or would he instantly turn into a Chaos Spawn?
>>549956730He'd chop off your head before you could even explain what it is.
>/twg/ is unsuable>go on /v/ it's unusable as wellHAVE YOU FAGGOTS NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT BESIDES TGA?
>>549956843What the Dwarves told him about it while hovering in a huge blimp?
>>549956297They're way better than high elves
CAN WE PLEASE GET OUR OWN TOTAL WAR 40k GENERAL!?
>>549956475Would be cool if they could get it to work. But I dont think they have enough factions to make it work right now. You'd need temporary alliances of many small factions to beat off all the imperium fags
>>549956239Marzipan gave a voice to some peculiar people.
>>549956925you make it
>>549956946>>549956475It could work if it was PvE only, or Order vs Destruction, or something similar.
>>549957010ok
>>549956874>go on /v/ it's unusableTo nobody's surprise.
>>549956925Why? The game hasn't even got a release date yet. Maybe you can have one if things get bad once 40k and Fantasy are directly competing for thread space but there's little to no justification for a thread dedicated to a game that isn't out yet.
HAVE THEY ADDRESSED IF THERE IS NAVAL COMBAT?????THIS IS THE ONLY IMPORTANT POST IN THIS THREAD PLEASE RESPON
>>549956354the campaign map is incredibly simple, if you want more out of it, go play an older title.Of the more recent ones, 3K had a pretty decent campaign level map. Pharaoh is okay with Dynasties.
who /ASTRA MILITARUM/ here?
>>549957113there is not
You can use dechala's whirlwind to do a bunch of damage to gates
>>549956895Wouldn't hear them, too far away.
>>549957134I am, they're the closest to hist games and human factions in WHF so i'm opting to play them.
>>549955973And you look like a hag.
>>549957054I was thinking of it being PvE already, too many human players would spam the fuck out of battles overwhelming the other factions it wouldnt matter>>549957167That's what I thought because they didnt mention it but it's still so pathetic. This coulda been the game of all games but they blew 100 million on hyenas.
>>549957278When I say PvE, I mean "everyone fights Chaos" or "everyone fights Nids". Which won't happen.
>>549957134Nobody.I AM /imperial guard/ tho.
>>549957278space combat dlc soon trust the plan :^)
>medieval 3How OP will the muslim factions be with the state of the UK
>>549956967I don't get it. Is she say hes too small or too big?
>>549956016I don't think the meta campaign is going to be shared between players anyway
Horrendous, disgusting, degenerate sex with DechalaNo, fucking seriously, go to /d/ to get an idea of what the fucking Im talking about
>>549957369We'll have to wait till Medieval 3 3 to see that, so roundabout 2040.
>>549957369they are not in med3, sorry
Total War 40k general made>>549957525>>549957525>>549957525
>>549957134it will always be the imperial guard
>>549957475Of course it won't, all available data shows even coop MP campaigns pale numbers wise to bog standard singleplayer.
>Welcome to Medieval 3>We removed the "Holy War" mechanics>Now you can wage "Holy Peace!"
>>549957551>trying to split the generalif you want to talk about shit that doesn't matter... /vst/ is that-a-way
Which ratman clan is the best to play as?
>>549957551what a stupid fucking idea.All because grognards have to LARP and pretend they have something else to discuss in other games, while they don't.
>>549957732WARLORD QUEEK HEADTAKER
I fucking hate Kairos. I hate this little bird fuck who will always without fail become the dominant faction in the southlands. I hate how his entire home area is inhospitable to 97% of the goddamn lords in the game. It also gives attrition too, cause go kill yourself. I hate how the AI is genuinely incapable of dealing with him, so I will never see any lord in a country mile radius of him pop off, unless they happen to be the same breed of filth fucker that he is. I hate how I can be minding my own business, only for this avian cunt to swap one of my settlements for themselves. I hate that now that I am in a war with this corkscrew-dicked deviant he's gonna send army after army to my lands while he sits back in his cozy little hellscape like the sleazy dogfucking brits who made this IP. I hate how much of an utter slog it is to wipe out this miserable shit's race because of the aforementioned climate and attrition. I hate how his army all have barriers. I hate how he has flying flamethrowers that violate multiple parts of the geneva convention. I hate how he's one of the strongest casters in the game. I hate how he's literally the only option if you want to play tzeentch because the changling is a complete joke of a campaign. I hate Kairos Fateweaver.
>>549957551Nobody wanted this but you. Histfags are just happy to be here, fantasois are happy and complacent in "their" general and you are new blood looking to make a name for yourself. There's nobody that wants to splinter threads except for you. I can't tell if this is a ploy so 40k fans fuck off or an actual 40k fan trying to finally kill /twg/ by siphoning its posters but either way the making of that thread was a complete waste of time, even if you did just copy our OP format.
>>549957797Whose he taking head from?
>>549957365apparently there's IP issues and gothic armada holds the space battle copyright and they're probably charging an obscene amount to let CA poach it from themso CA is either letting it expire before they do the DLC or refusing to cooperate with terrorists and never doing it
>>549957551THERE IS NO GAME YETThank you for your attention to this matter
>>549957845A bunch of people said they wanted it
>>549957256TAKE. IT. BACK.
>>549957134Its the Guard son.>Cadians are the Ultramarines of the Imperial Guard.
>>549957854ur mom lel
>>549957897This. The actual problem with 40k in this general is they have no game.If you want to talk about [future game], okay sure. But if you want to talk about 40k in general, fuck off.
>>549957732Skryre or Moulder. The others don't even come close.
>>549957969you lost and all you ever do is loseyour last happy memory was likely when your age was in single digits
What do Aeldari women think of Beastmen bvlls?
>>549958154Beastmen are just abhumans so they think of them as just as inferior as regular humans.
Are there are characters in 40k like my wives, Naestra and Arahan?
>>549958112Where is your game? What aspect of the game do you want to talk about?
>>549958154>using the corpo-speak Eldar slave name
>>549958112everyone is already laughing at your live service dogshit game, enjoy your w 40kek
>>549956053>ywn be a Human Psyker on the run from witch hunters trying to toss you on the Black Ships. Before eventually being found and rescued by an Aeldari Farseer who had a vision that you would one day play a pivotal role in preventing her Craftworlds destruction. Leading to her training you on how to control your Psychic powers until one day she reads your mind and sees that you think she looks cute. Forcing her to face her own conflicting feelings on how much she has grown attached to you as well. Until she finally gives in and the two of you have a secret lovey-dovey romance that would be the end of you both should it ever be discovered. Until your eventual role to play in the prophecy comes and you bravely sacrifice yourself to save the Craftworld and your new Farseer GF. Proudly announcing your love with your final breaths.Hire me GW. I have no experience writing but surely I could make better Eldar stories than everyone you've had attempt it before. It's just that instead of the current tranny space-elf pirate romance stories your current garbage writers make. I would instead write dumb garbage romance stories about Eldar (and Deldar) falling for Human men. Stories that will appeal to MEN your primary audience.

>>549958687Thank you for the (You) anon. I'm very proud of my post and writing it took a lot of effort. It will also be my formal application to GW's literature team. Please keep an eye out for my future Eldar related works.

The fact they've taken so long to release Nagash of all characters annoys me to no end
This sounds good imo
>>549957929I can't change the past, just like you can't change ur age and wrinkles, grandma.
I want to play the game NOW
>>549959218no it doesn't
>>549955283The australian guy is right
>>549959218them hinting at the scale of the campaign map was huge imo
>NO NAVAL COMBATi dont want to pray dawn of war
>>549958556What were his thoughts on the trailer? I need to know if I should like it or not.
>>549959218The galaxy map part sounds pretty interesting. Have they said who the initial factions will be?
>>549959354>Not playing both
>>549959490Dawn of war doesnt even have tyranids or chaos either. Shit games both of these
>if you defeat an army before the reinforcements arrive you can end the battlewow first time this happens to me
>>549959218>reinventing the wheel againit won't feel like Total War until the DLC team does 1 full year of fixing (at least)
>>549959479He loved it so much that he named his second daughter Warhammerina 40k
The monkey meme is so stupid when Eldar literally just look like thing humans. It makes way more sense to be a lizardman slur for humans.
I have Warhammer fatigue
>>549959631ok, mon'keigh
>>549959678God forbid you post something else - instead just like any good histoid you only post about Warhammer
>>549959678you're free to go literally anywhere else
>>549959218Hopechads are feasting>>549959481Orks (Bad Moons), SM (Ultramarines with Kalgar seen), Eldar (Ulthwe on cover) and Guard (Cadian seen)But you can create custom factions for all races, afaik it's not just army painting, you can add custom buffs too along with unit customization in campaign (wargear + aesthetics)
>>549959547But without Chaos the game is doomed to fail. Surely CA recognizes that?
>>549959218>BIG SCALE>BIGGER SCALE>BIGGEREST SCALEImagine the load timesImagine the turn times
would she be a good wife and mother to your children?
>>549959872*without tyranids
>>549956709The geomantic web to not be dogshit. It needs to actually do something interesting and not be a number modifier that takes up a building slot. Some things it could do that I've thought of in the past include giving army ability spells that represent Slann casting magic through the web or teleporting armies.The Blessed spawning needs to be ripped out and redone from the ground up. I appreciate that CA finally added DLC units to the mechanic, but the fact that it's still just random buffs to units and not a proper blessing system that gives buffs based on a specific Old One bugs the hell out of me. I want it to work like Sacred Spawnings, complete with color coding for the blessed units.
hisCHADS don't worryif 40k turns out to be good that means we'll get the ww1 game thanks to the new innovations
>>549959780Why do 40K fans think the doomers are histoids. Its far more likely that the doomers are fantasy fans. The Histoids had moved to /vst/ a long time ago.
>>549959905turn time fap time
>>549959872They'll add it eventually but it's just pathetic how they leave it as DLC bait. Tyranids and chaos are so much better antagonists than orcs.... Eldar are also kinda lame baddies
>>549959905Imagine not installing all your games on an internal SSD in the year of our lord of twenty twenty five
>>549959218Yeah im hype
>>549959913Where would the children come out from? Would they be live birth or eggs?
>>549959987>"I have Warhammer fatigue"That sounds like a Warhammer Fantasy fan to you
>>549960038I just cast a spell that will make your internal SSD failHave fun affording a new one
Can we get a Shogun 2 general as well please?
>>549959987Because histoids have been sour grapes posting for years
>>549958981Sex with blue women.
I cant wait till they release rhe first proper gameplay video and the shitposters can move the goalpost to something else
>>549960170they're 80 bucks for a terabyte I just run three
>>549959981I'd much rather the 40k engine be repurposed for a WW2 game redditors would melt whenever you post another Hitler world conquest, but it'd be pure Chudkino
>>549959987no one other than histchuds would be dedicated enough to sit in these threads and complain
>>549959868Who's the dom here?
>>549959218Sounds like a pretty good way of handling the sheer scale of the setting, and I particularly like the option to play bite-sized campaigns on smaller maps. If CA are actually capable of delivering on these kinds of promises this game could be something special.
>>549959868For real? I thought Chaos would be one for sure. I was looking forward to Necrons and Tyranids most but knew they'd be DLC later.
>>549960253sure, but you gotta have the first ww to get the second
>>549960287Chaos tend to have more involved mechanics so its best that they're left for dlc
>>549960279Pick-your-size random campaigns will be particularly healthy for moddability in the future since it means virtually every campaign parameter will be accessible to modders.
>>549960160>>549960183>>549960256Posters from /tg/ don't know how much Fantasy fans here were dreading the 40K announcement. They don't see themselves as Warhammer Fantasy fans, but TWW fans.
>>549960287YeahThey said there is an "unrevealed character and more stuff that is pretty big" so there is a chance that it's chaos like skaven were revealed later for WH2If not then they will most likely be an early DLCIf it's not Chaos, could be Gorillaman
>>549960257The Drukhari honestlyTheres a less than zero chance that guardsmen breathes other than her uncharacteristic goodwill
>>549959987The doomers are people who have played an actual TW game before and are laughing at the GAAS setup CA has been doing since the reveal.
Post blue board safe Lizardmen lewds
>>549960332great, by that same logic lets replace Medieval 3 with Neolithic Total War, you need to have that first before you can have the copper age before you can have the bronze age before you can have the iron age before you can have the greeks before you can have the romans before you can have the middle ages
>>549959218Am I jaded or does this sound ass. Seems like its going to be CA's version of Starfield aka a proc gen mess.
>>549960468See that symbol on her loincloth, she's a hecking wholesome Ynnari!
Alright CA. Give me>Tallarn>White Scars>Tau within a decent timeframe so that they're not too far off>Harlequins>Officio Assassinorum>Alpha LegionAnd I'll rate your new game a 10/10.
>>549960512Atlantis Total War where they go full schizo would be kino. Will never happen.
>>549960512>Caveman: Total warWould buy for the kino factor alone
>>549960287It looks like they've gone tame with Orks as the bad guys mainly to keep the focus narrowed to the core gameplay. All of the other antagonist factions (Tyranid, Necron, Chaos) are endgame crisis-tier and will probably have some kind of special interactions with the galaxy over-layer, but exactly how that will be realized would depend a lot on how the initial concept plays out so it's best to leave them for DLC.
>>549959218Sounds like WH3
>>549959481orks, eldars, space marines and imperial guards, and no, they said chaos space marines are coming at a later date so no day 1 dlc for them

>>549960512this type of archeology is so retarded. if archeologists examined out civilization they would say "the silicone and microplastic culture took over the world!"
>>549960468You underestimate the purifying force of the squire.
>>549960636There will only be one game hopefully
>>549960430none of this is true or makes sense.There's like one or two faggots whining about 40k constantly and that's it everyone else is fine. This has always been the case....you wouldn't happen to know who the whiner is would you?
>>549960636>gonna be 50 when this game is fully releasedfuck it we ball
>>549960659That's unironically what future archeologists would say. All we have to go off of these cultures is their pottery style, and all they'd have to go off of us is "they used plastics and computers, we know of nothing else because the internet was on servers that are gone now".
>>549960568>give me my digital overpriced toys and i'll rate your new game 10/10 even if it's literally garbage
CSM might be the pre-order DLC faction and the main antagonist in the campaign, just like Warriors of Chaos were in Warhammer 1. Base CSM roster isn't "that" big after cutting out monogod legions and demons. I feel like 'Nids have more stuff and are a candidate for a base game faction with multiple DLCs added to them, so possibly a 2nd or a 3rd game.
>>549960430I am a TWW fan who is excited for 40K though? I was making fun of people who thought it couldn't happen. >>549960782There is no pre-order DLC
>>549960512Sounds great
>>549960512dont be a little babywhy would a game series thats "historical" in a way skip the first world war to jump to 2 with their new engine?it just makes sense for them to do ww1 first then ww2but maybe they can just do a ww1 themed expansion for a ww2 if you REALLY want it so badly
>>549960693Are you telling me the Squire can cuck Khorne? Who IS he?Is the Squire the Emperor?

>>549960927does this bitches dlc really suck ass like reviews suggest
>>549960671>Sigvald>N'Kari>Azazel>Dechala>MasqueHonestly it's a really good lineup for Slaanesh. Will 40k live up to that? It won't.
>>549959987I love 40k, but I'm definitely a CA doomer. I do not believe in this company based on their track record even just for the Warhammer trilogy. They WILL fuck this up somehow. It's just a question of how badly. Maybe we'll see a second Rome 2.
>>549960959She's ridiculously overpowered, probably the strongest LL in the game right now
>>549960923not the squire art anon but in my mind he's gotta be a "squire" in the setting... guardsman is perfect imo
>>549959218It's not going to be always-online, live service slop where my individual campaigns mean almost nothing, right? R-Right...?
It's clear now that 40k won't a total war game
>>549961135Valrak was right with all his leaks and guess what he described TW 40k's campaign as lol
>>549960693Fucking retarded
>>549960279>>549961084>no naval combatdead game>>549960576>biggest battle is 15 dudes with clubs vs 15 dudeswould be a good bannerlord dlc/mod though
>>549960636Why do people believe it's gonna be 3 games? With warhammer 1 they said from the beginning they'll make multiple games that fuse together. I can't remember them ever saying that for 40kThey also don't need to make a huge combined map anymore. They just AI generate planets like no mans sky did and shit it out. Or maybe just make a random generator like stellaris.They don't even need lord packs, just make a new faction with random lord X and be done.
>>549960959I get to kill chinks and she's op and Im a degenerate coomer so I love slaaneshSo I think shes brett gud
>>549960923Funnily enough, there used to be Khorne anon on /twg/ who would constantly seethe at Squire X Valkia art.
>>549961096>guardsman is perfect imoKnight pilot works too
There is no grand campaign where you conquer the galaxy, you can only ever conquer small sectors and get a victory once you do thatIm sad

>>54996136540kek falseflagging as usual
>>549961084Setting gameplay concerns aside for a second. Big developers keep delivering worse and worse optimization, I wouldn't be surprised if 40k launched with 20 fps with frame gen for a high end computer.
>>549961283>>549961220This might be him. Or maybe some other Khorne fag fresh from /tg/
I don't see them doing three full games for thisthey'll probably just do expansions that'll cost like 30 fucking bucks
>>549961207If it is, it'll be a skip for me unless the gameplay is insanely good. I don't want to do whole campaigns in this theatre crusade system just so I can change a number by 0.00000001% and wait for all the other players to do something for anything to meaningfully change.
>>549961365OkHows everyones campaign going, just unlocked Uruk-Hai
>>549961298I see drawfriend art supporting your position so I must agree
I'm going to be so pissed if they don't get their craftworld in the campaign
>>549961135>>549961481your campaigns already mean nothing so what's the difference
>>549961207>what he described TW 40k's campaign aslink?
There is no need for them to do a trilogy again especially with how galactic map works. They could make expansions with multiple racces and their assorted planets/asssets etc. while at the same time having a smaller team work on the DLC that adds stuff to existing races like non-codex SM chapters or units + legendary characters
>>549961351The switch to WH2 and especially WH3 were disastrous shitty blunders, CA is making the game on a gigantic scale so they never have to launch another title, they can just milk this one game for a decade. Don't listen to retards in this general trying to prognosticate.
>>549961541They shouldn't. Craftworlds should be like planets.
>>549961480I would prefer this much much more than having to buy 3 60+dollar games AND dlc
>>549961351No, it does the exact opposite. DLCs cost way more and are easier to make.
>>549961480Chaos day one $30 dlcTyranid $40 DLCMechanicus $50 DLCNaval combat $100 DLC

man you guys are seriously out of your fucking minds if you think the future of Craphammer is t*bletop instead of Total War/tg/ is for rich Timmies full stop, literal non-growth market
>>549958556I'd rather just go bald than have a hairline like that.
>>549961480Trilogy or not, I think we should expect 40k to be the name of the game for the next ten years after its release.
>>549961758gw took 40 years to figure out that making good games make them. They're still working out the good part but they're getting there
>>549961736They know
>>549961758there's a reason you're broke and GW make more profit than they know what to do with every quarter
>>549961873make them lots of money*
>>549955516It doesn't. 40K just has no romantic relationships whatsoever, so 40K fans have to make them up, and making them interspecies is a simple way to add some depth to them, even if limited
>>549960160I have hundreds of hours in the Warhammer games and have fatigue too. If that makes me a historychud or whatever, then I dont give a shit. The games are just pretty shallow underneath all the variety. There's a reason everyone just plays 30 turns then jumps to a new campaign. Its not that deep honestly.
>>549961787Don't make fun of the bgc!
can we all finally just admit that total war is dead?
>>549959678I have Warhammer 40K fan fatigue
>>549961560Because in TW3 I at least have the sense that I'm taking over the entire world in that particular campaign. Each campaign is a self-contained story of the rise of my faction, and the Nagash DLC is supposed to elevate that even more. Under this new system I'm doing campaigns with the explicit understanding that when this individual campaign is complete, that it will cause a change in the overall galactic theatre, that I'm working towards a greater goal. But if that change is a number somewhere changes by a tiny amount on a server, that means I'll just be running the same faction in the same place over and over again until enough players make a dent which makes the campaigns feel pointless on an individual level. There'd be basically no feeling of progression or sense of purpose. Yeah that's lore accurate but it's pretty boring.
>>549961925>we sell plastic and paintgw is a glorified tool shed drawer lmaotruly an amazing business model, jaw-dropping ingenuityi cant wait for hardline environmentalist policies by 2030 to gut your disgusting unjustifiable physical consumerism society
>>549961571Any of his leak videos anon, they've been posted here relentlessly. I couldn't tell you the specific one where he described TW40k as being an online GAAS style campaign.
>>549961740Craftworld life is about locking the crazy Eldar mind into focusing on one thing at a time instead of letting it flit about all over the place like some sort of ADHD hedonist, they feel strong emotions and sensations all the time.
>>549960549In practice, the galaxy layer they're talking about is just the fucking main menu with some flavour built inHere's what they've just described in essence>a menu where you select between different gameplay options>historical battles, being single scripted skirmish missions with preset armies based on events from the lore>small themed campaigns>a sandbox grand campaign>a campaign randomizerThe first three are present in almost every TW game. The mini campaigns are just a way for them to design a narrower, more scripted scenario with a specific theme and focus, like the Last Roman campaign in Attila or the Peninsular campaign in Napoleon.The randomizer is present in Pharaoh so you can look at it there to get an idea of what it will be. The only curveball here is that since the terrain is tied to the planets, they can randomize the entire space layer by rerolling what planets appear and how they're connected. There will be a pool of planetary maps from the static campaigns that they'll just roll from. The actual map terrain won't be randomized; CA literally doesn't have the tech to do that.
>>549962252>two more weeks
>>549955516>>549962008I hate the cumbrained eldar "fans". I bought rogue trader specifically for yrliet, the romance was good and dunked on the inter-species obsessed brainlets

>>549961459Khorne is boring because there's no magic and it's a one note of just 'reee angry kill'.To be frank I've always found the squire shit to be deplorable coomer/boring wish fulfillment faggotry, deviant art tier sonichu fucking trash. I expect more of it or similar in the future from 40k because for some reason a setting saturated in despair and grim darkness is ground zero for "I need to make horniness a personality trait because I have none otherwise". And I say that as a coomer, just someone with the decency to keep it in my pants and not shit up the public square with it. Which is a fact lost on you lot, that not everyone wants to deal with your fucking fangirl gigglesqueeze nonsense. Basic bitchboy bland as an isekai character who randomly just pulls the most amazing and deadly pussy in the world by nothing but deus-ex-machina author's fiat. It's BORING. That's the worst of it. It's not an interesting character or something relatable to the campaign experience like if it was Rakarth or Karl Franz or Mister Gold instead of such a tepid bitch because "He's just like me fr fr!!". Comes with the territory of /vg/ autism so I guess I can count my blessings you're not as unhinged as generals, you're just fucking annoying as hell. >>549961686Nids could be remedied by having you play as the genestealer cults, but I see no reason why you can't have tyranids proper.
>>549960636Genestealer Cults should come before Tyranids, as is proper
>>549962252are you stupid? none of that is happening and GW have a de facto monopoly in their fieldobviously that's a good business model
>>549962678Yeah purely platonic soul melding
>>549962727Man-O-War bros...
>>549962495>the romance was goodThe best romance in the game. One of the best romances in cRPGs ever. People just don't get it.

>Playing a Dechala campaign while excited to play DA BOYZ in WH40k
>>549961686My point is that it's a waste introducing a faction with vanilla mechanics and then grandfathering in fancy map gimmicks later when you could sell them with those fancy gimmicks in the first place. They're playing it safe with the roster to ensure that their formula works before they start messing with it.
Ork fans are something else..They buy 3 total war warhammers to play the same orks and soon buy total war 40k to play the same orks

>I seriously hope you guys dont post 40k
The whole chapters thing isn't that difficult to understand. It's like sports teams. Yes, they're all just baseball players who get traded around and you're basically just a fan of laundry, but try telling that to /sp/.Same thing with minor chapters, everyone hates the Ultramarines/Yankees because they get all the attention, and when some minor chapter/team does something relevant the fans of that chapter/team are going to get emotional. It's just how being a fan of something works.

Can I get a QRD on Chorfs?I see they have like 4 chaff units of varying quality. It's still early for my campaign at turn 14 (im a noob) so I can't recruit more than 3 chorf warriors at a time.Orcs, goblins, hobgrots all serve as meatshield but who exactly should be standing at the very front? Is it redundant to have shield hobgrots standing behind orc slaves? do I just kind of create a line of frontliners that progressively get tankier and tougher?Also, where do I put my blunderbusses? they can't seem to shoot past my frontline and their range is limited. I keep them in the back to protect them but they're just sititng there doing nothing until a gap opens in the front but all the while they're not firing or dealing any damage which feels like a big waste. I've been using a lot of hobgrot bowmen, and hobgrot riders to attack the enemy ranged backline after a minute has passed and the frontline is fully engaged.Their roster is relatively small and many units kind of serve the same purpose so I'm not exactly sure how to maximize them or what to upgrade. I know your dwarf units are quality > quantity and you want to supplement them with lots of greenskins
>>549966041You're letting it live in your mind regardless. Thus you give them power over your life.You see sexy alien girls and immediately think about indians and jews. Your mind has legitimately been damaged.

>>549966246All of the original chapters are indeed unique, but the vast majority of successor chapters are just Ultramarines. That's what I'm talking about.And they're often just ultramarines even if they are unrelated to Gillymun. Like the Blood Ravens. They're probably Thousand Son derived, but in practice they're just Ultramarines with more librarians and an obsession with relics and their unknown past. That's what Codex compliance often does, it destroys any hope of uniqueness.
>>549965628Fantasy elves got way more character.
>>549966394>checkerboardThis is the Total War general?

>>549959218Honestly, this sounds better to me. The whole idea of making the scale galactic and thus your 1,000 hours of playtime a complete drop in the bucket, hits so hard. There's nothing shittier than a campaign where you're really kicking ass and there's nothing left to challenge you. I did a domination campaign as Malekith and it really turns into a chore plus there's this shitty feeling of "that's it?". Half the map is held by like 10 factions once you reach them, and the annoyance that really nothing you're doing matters since victory is inevitable and your next campaign will be back at square one. probably 10% of us are autistic enough to actually reach that point in a campaign anyway, and a 40k campaign where every planet in the galaxy is occupied by space wolves or whatever would be fucking retarded anyway, and you know in the alternate reality where this was a possibility you'd see those posts ITT and think "what a fag". These TORtanic faggots are trying to make it sound shitty but I'd rather a campaign I play for a couple days give me boost to my next 1 or 2 campaigns. The existence of single battles along with campaigns, also contributing to your overall progress, makes me think it won't be like some shitty hardcore roguelite where every casualty matters and spoils the campaign, sort of like WH has always felt. Feels like it addresses a bunch of player complaints both spoken and unspoken. There's no indication yet either that conquering a sector just erases your progress, if anything it looks like everyone will develop their own galaxy and could paint the map anyway, but that isn't the focus here, which is great, it doesn't suit 40k and it isn't even fun anymore imo. It's at least something new, if it sucks, oh well, it's your fault for expecting anything out of them.

>>549969262Yeah I'll be giving it the normal treatment and play after it's out of unofficial early access.
I am currently stuck with my 1660S at the moment, what is campaign map performance currently like on better systems? e.g. not 5080s or shit, but 'modern' budget options like the 5060 or AMD equivalent.
Spain confirmed. England and Egypt are also confirmed.

I recently went back to Legacy Rome 1, and the charges feel much better there..
>>549969386im on a 9070xt and the performance is really smooth on the campaign map EXCEPT when zoomed very far in. Then it tanks to probably below 30.
Map concept art, again confirming Spain.>>549969446>CSMChaos Space Marines, aka demon worshippers>LoyalistNot-Chaos, aka not demon worshippers>Space MarineGenetically modified super soldiers in power armor>codexGuilliman's retarded attempt to limit the power of Space Marines by dividing them up into 1000 man Chapters instead of huge "Legions">codex compliantYou follow the codex and are a good boy, unlike the Black Templars which don't give a fuck and have more than 1000 soldiers.
>>549969446CSM is chaos space marines (spikey marines)'Loyalist' chapters are space marine groups that stayed loyal to the imperium, whereas traitor legions rebelled against the Emperor in the Horus Heresy.Things like Blood Angels, Ultramarines and Raven Guard are different 'chapters' (if American, think of it as different football teams) that are loyalists. They each have their own culture, colours and other bits and bobs which set them apart from eachother. For example, Salamanders tend to have coal-dark skin due to their volcanic homeworld. Blood Angels drink blood to the extent of being de-facto vampires and the raven guard has so few fans that it doesn't really exist (it's the 'sneaky' marine chapter)
>>549966103>you can't recruit units during a battleWhich is how it should be.
>>549969446>UltramarinesA chapter of Space Romans, they specialize in logistics and good governance. They are the "protagonists" of the whole setting, and much of the fanbase hates them for being mary sues.>Raven GuardA chapter of sneaky loyalists who specialize in stealth operations. Their Chaos counterparts are the Night Lords, who were terrorists and murderers.>Blood AngelsAngel themed chapter, in mourning due to the tragic death of their original leader. Also they're vampires. Don't question it, it makes sense in context. Think of it like a play on "this is my blood, this is my body" Catholic imagery.>Dark AngelsA knight themed chapter. They hunt renegade members of their chapter called 'The Fallen', who were partially tricked into starting a civil war a long time ago. Their leader, the Lion, came back recently and wants to stop the secret civil war that's been raging for 10k years.>Imperial FistsMaster siege defenders. They mostly defend Terra.There are other First Founding Chapters, like the White Scars that are biker Huns, and Salamanders, who are black boy scouts. You can read up on them yourself if you're interested. Point is, all of the First Founding chapters are unique and modelled after their original leader, and all the successor chapters (split off due to that Codex I mentioned before) are less unique because Gillymun said not being just like the Ultramarines is badwrongfun.
>>549969386I'm still playing on my 8y old 1080 and she's doing well.
>>549967190>1000 battle brothers each (not counting specialists and auxilliaries)Even after that only around 500 see combat regularly, rest are in training or reserve.In Dawn of War 4 it's a huge deal that the first 5 Dark Angels companies have all shown up to help the Blood Ravens. Losing 10 squads of 5 dudes each is losing 25% of an entire company.
>>549969398those three were givens, hungary or denmark or something being a launch faction instead of dlc fodder would be something notable
>>549966103The trailer at least implies you could. There's a banner with 3 empty slots next to it in the UI, and half the army in the bridge section of the gameplay is like all the way back at the southern edge of the map, so it looks like it. It also just kinda makes sense to me, especially if it's coming on console, 16-20 units on the field at once, but potentially like 50 or 100 that you can call in. That space view also has some currency in the top left corner of the UI (~300/500) which makes me think it could be reinforcements available in the battles, idk though and it's all just placeholder shit anyway - the UI was completely static through the whole footage anyway so it's all just speculation. I don't think it'll feel anemic, building shit while foightn' is gay and for dorn's crotch goblins, I'd rather get stuck in.
>>549970021I forgot to post the pic of more concept art.Seems like Med 3 will be mostly Europe, Middle East, and maybe India (they mention trade, and they've already done it before in Empire), but much much bigger. They also mention America and Columbus.It does seem like the timeline is going to be similar to Med 2. Renaissance is included!
>>549969868But you can like in auslinns quest battle and those are the most fun battles there are.
>>549969398>>549969630as long as Alberto Barbosa is playable from the starthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWr9d0Z14bUbring back the boys in white and blue>Egypthopefully the tradition of Europeans running a train on them continues in 3
>>549970180>It does seem like the timeline is going to be similar to Med 2. Renaissance is included!I hope it's slower than medieval 2 because campaigns are always over before you get to gunpowder in medieval 2
>Massive 3 Rohan army group shattered in battle>For some reason the humble supply wagon is the only ones that didnt breakkek
>>549970274I actually hope you can't call a Crusade anywhere without cause. I think you should need at least some objectives to back it up.Like, for example, you want to crusade Cairo. Okay, great. Why?>um, to dab on the ArabsI'm not hearing a reason.>to free our Coptic brothers, of course!That's more like it.
>>549970180making it closer to ck scale (but not that big) would be ideal to make the longer scale work, conquering all of hispania should be a project lasting a couple hundred years. unfortunately the issue is that no one wants to fight that many manual battles so what to do about ar is the question
>>549970429>>um, to dab on the Arabswhy not?I really don't think Louis IX cared that much for the Copts
>>549970525Realistically, people don't usually invade countries on the other side of the world for shits and giggles - especially during the Middle Ages.All I'm saying is you could have a whole system where you find injustices happening in the holy land, call a crusade, fulfill some objectives, and get sweet bonuses.
>>549970180>and maybe IndiaThis requires them to also do Persia and Afghanistan or it wouldn't make sense.Also means either Selkuk and/or Ghaznavid Turks are a big presence.
>>549970429Functionally in Total War gameplay terms those two reasons are the same thing. You'd need more in-depth casus belli and cultural mechanics to do what you're suggesting. Which I'd be all for (it'd be awesome if you need an actual reason to invade some random province in Bohemia like your great aunt has a claim instead of the usual TW declare war button) but I don't see CA putting that much work in.
>>549970350I remember some nuclear grade autistic meltdowns in a thread a while ago (think it was when dynasties launched, about the timescale setting) about how it takes like 8 years for crusaders to sail from denmark to jerusalem in med 2 lol.
Not sure why Edoras looks like it got hit by a century of global warming
>>549970713It could work like>your spy/merchant agents in Egypt, who are there originally to secure spices, gain word of [injustice] or [Muslim army attacking Christian faction]>in the Papal College, you now have a 'Call Crusade because [reason]' button>you launch crusade, take the city, and build a Coptic Church for example>with these objectives done, the local populace love you, and your lord gets the trait 'Liberator of Egypt' or 'Restorer of the Coptic Church'>and it'd be the same for every other type of Crusade, but you get different objectives and different bonuses so it's not casus belli for flavor's sake
>>549970630it wasn't "for shits and giggles", it was to dismantle muslim political power>Realisticallybruh the Crusade on Egypt literally happened in real lifeand the other side of the Mediterranean isn't the "other side of the world"
>>549970180>>549970638I doubt it. If just Spain alone is that big they're probably not going to do the whole of Arabia, Persia and Sindh. That's a massive amount of Land.I would expect the map to end at Damascus.
>>549970915Nobody in western Europe cared about what was happening in the Middle East until the Byzantine Empire whined to the Pope.
>>549970876>they modeled Edoras but not fucking Minas Tirith
>>54996663940k Chaos is exclusively humans and demons, Chaos Xenos have no presence besides offhand mentions
>>549970915That anon has a point, crusades were crusades because they, at least on the face of it, did not just have simple realpolitik reasons like "we need to dismantle Egyptian power because they're a political threat to us" and many people on these crusades, even kings, fervently believed in the religious causes.
>>549965512Aren't Eldar much taller than humans
>>549971101As another anon said this was originally a multiplayer only mod until they realized how to edit Attila's campaign map. Most of these city maps are years old and were made because someone just felt like it and thought it'd make a good PVP map, and it's not like they're not going to include what got made because it might look bad with what cities are missing.
>>549971371One of the reasons 40K coom is so soulless is because most artists who draw it have no idea about the setting.
>>549965021Every one of those Tau girls has multiple "husbands"
>>549971371Yeah
>>549971252If it's only humans and demons then who builds the soulgrinder and juggernauts? Aren't those made by chaos dwarfs for Khorne? Doesn't make any sense..
>Edoras sacked>Eomar's head on a pikeYup, almost time to sweep through Gondor

>>549971807We can still hold at Helm's Deep Rohirrimbros
>>549972024Hope Galadriel gets added as an actual unit when Lothlorien is made playable.
>>549971780Daemon Engines are typically either made by Chaos Space Marine Warpsmiths or the Dark Mechanicus. There's a place called the Forge of Souls which is where a lot of it gets made, including Soul Grinders specifically. Recently, 40k introduced Vashtorr, a technology-empowered aemon who governs the Forge of Souls, and wants to ascend to full Chaos godhood. He's pretty important lore-wise nowadays

>>549961207It better not be online only.
>40kids go to bedtime>TRVE Total War posting resumesYou love to see it.
>>549967796Even worse, it feels like only space marines are relevant, and everyone else is just a secondary character in the setting. You never get that feeling from fantasy. There's a bit of main character syndrome with the empire and the helves, but all of the baddies and not so baddies get to shine too.40k is an inferior setting on that regard, even if there's been efforts to put more interesting characters from other races, it all comes back to the ultra smurfs or some other space marine chapter.
>40kucks taken over this general
Better them than soijack posters.
>>549972160I checked the wiki and it says for 40k the juggernauts just randomly exist in khorne's realm while in fantasy they were built by chaos dwarfs so they just cut that lore part out.Isn't the forge of souls belakor's thing? Why did they put another demon in there now?
>>549972651But Orks are the main characters and posterchildren of the game since the start?The only reason they didn't krump all of mankind already is that the galaxy would be too boring without them.
>>549963219they're the best marinesother chaptards can keep coping
>>549963219blue and gold is a better color scheme than deadpool-coloured edgelords
>>549963219Despite the name CA is far from creative, just look at Hyenas. They could never come up with a cool chapter like the Blood Ravens, who 20 years after Relic created them are still shrouded in mysteries and memes.
>>549972180>>549972534I was surprised to see spiders and Mumakils in the base mod, they work pretty well too
Why don't they just make more space marines and throw em at the enemy till it's all dead
>>549972180But Dawnless Days is fantasy. Even histoids can only find enjoyment in their games by modding them to be fantasy.
>>549971254They weren't also just regular military campaigns, they were huge ass war efforts made the whole central europe against arabs. They didn't happen out of nowhere just to spite arabs

>>549963219CA should have used Blood Ravens since they're the OG and premiere vidya faction.Ultrasmurfs already have Boltgun and Space Marine.Dork Angels have Space Hulk and Dawn of War 4.
>>549974397I unironically agree. Blood Ravens have a better pedigree in vidya than Ultramarines. I care about the Blood Raven's storyline, I do not care what Gillymun and Calgar do, they can die as far as I'm concerned.
>>549973985just be happy its not as bad as the med 2 start
They should unironically make a Doom rip off and you play as Sigismund, starting with the siege of Terra and then the scouring.

>even the total war reddit doesn't like itIs there any hope? Even my captcha for this post ends with>H8
>>549974487I remember before SM1 launched Focus or whoever had to say the game ACTUALLY took place in an alternate universe, identical to WH40k except Titus was the first lieutenant or whatever role of the Ultramarines, not the character established in the mainline lore. That might be more on Focus being retarded than GW disrespecting vidya, but either way it made vidya look bitch made. (then after SM2 sells decent, GW is fellating Titus). Anyway, hard agree, blood ravens should be the vidya flagship faction or at least just pick somebody else ffs, battlesector went with blood angels and sanctus reach went with the furries.

>>549975392TES has degraded as an RPG franchise precisely because it became multiplatform
>>549967796>but I feel like in 40K people only ever discuss the primarchs/40kg/ with some background in WHFB here, plenty of the community discusses elsewhere but the main push are the Primarchs by far. You must understand that over 50% of the playerbase does Space Marines and Imperium in general. No army in all of WHFB's history has ever been that dominant. The Empire is usually the protagonist faction but being the protagonist doesn't make them the most popular. Depending on the edition, many exceeded Empire greatly like 7th edition was Daemons, Dark Elves, and Vampires as the most popular. If you've ever felt ANY WHFB faction took up too much attention and other factions are neglected, then you are not prepared for the sheer favoritism the Space Marines get. And sadly, the community encourages it. One of the reasons I praised the AoS community is when GW tried Sigmarines, they pushed back enough that Sigmarines are nowhere near the all-encompassing attention black hole the way the Space Marines are in their game. 90% of everything is Marines.
>>549975281Maybe, but that's mostly due to the enormous influx of newfaggots from /tg/ who thought they didn't have to lurk before posting.

Lads, something fucky going on. I completed the first glory hunt for Sayl. I cheesed it. Just ran Sayl to the markers, didn't fight anything. I got the unique weapon reward, and the money. But the hunt still shows as 'in progress' and not completed, and I still don't have the frost dragon the quest says I'll get. Is it bugged, is there something I did wrong, or is it bugged? I can't unlock any other hunts until that one is completed. The quest location is still there but I can no longer tekeport to it, there's no option to.

>>549975210It's like in the great campaigns, Mr. /twg/. The ones that really mattered. Full of Gauls and Pajamas they were. And sometimes you didn't want to play past turn 50. How could your campaign go back to the way it was, when so much shame had been displayed. But in the end, it's just a passing thing. This defeat. Even bad luck will pass, and when it does, we'll play all the cheerer. Those were the campaigns that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, /twg/, that I do understand. I know now. Players in those campaigns had lots of chances to start a new one. But they didn't. Because they were holding on to something.There's history to be made in this world. And it's worth fighting for.

I finished Aislinn’s campaign and it was pretty fun. It felt like it could have been tweaked a little.>Interacting with the court is borderline useless thanks to confederations meaning nothing except getting their lords and the creation of an even dumber and non aggressive faction that you’re not even auto allied with >resources management is all over the place, elven trade is lacking early game making tech upgrades not come online until they’re too late (upgrading sea company only in the late game with tech)>no real sense of competing between the lords to use your naval mightIdeas were there, just didn’t work out great. I would almost replace the lord favor system with something more similar to the Norsca dedication, where you can only dedicate to certain lords and get increasing bonuses, but can’t work for other lords. They’d also ask you to do different thing, Tyrion would want you mopping up Delves and Slaanesh, Alith Anar wants you hunting more Delves, Teclis wants you establishing far off colonies and fighting Tzeentch, Alarielle could be anti-Norsca or warriors, point being each lord wants to buy the fleet from you to use for their own gain, you can game them for whatever side objectives you have. It’d also be a nice feature for the other helf lords to be able to call on Aislinn to aid in their battles or wars through some kind of mechanic.

>>549980141worse, dow3
Who playing dawnless days? Are the battles still fast as fuck like in attila?
>>549980884Too bad..I really liked this girly in the 3 player horde mode online. Was really cool.. I wish total war had such a mode. Just lemme load into an arena with Skarbrand and then lemme bash endless hordes of bullshit and permanently unlock new equipment for him and such. That'd be so awesome.
>>549980884Literally from the first DoW game
>>549981484CA tried to make an arena like gamemode, it flopped incredibly hard and was shelved forever
Ah, it was called "The last stand"..>>549981612Well CA constantly makes shit that flops.. but how did they fuck that up?It's a no brainer. You take all the WH3 LLs and legendary heroes, make a small arena that endlessly spawns waves and then reward the player with all the thousand items already in the game.. they even already have the inventory and equip UI made.
>>549981460i'm going to play it tomorrow but NOT tonight so i'll update you when i know
>>549981796>>549981484No offense but it sounds terrible. Why would anyone playing total war want to play that, they'd play a different game specializing in something like that
I'm a 40k nigga nowI like that shit, its cool, its new, its 40k, niggaYou fantasy niggas are too fucking whinyAnd I like fantasy, but im a 40k nigga now40k man, chill out, man slow down
>>549971683Saved
>>549981796No one played it
>>549981974Uhh.. simple. Ever seen all those million vids Legend gets sent of 1man doomstacks? Shit gets millions of views. Many just enjoy piloting a super soldier of a lord and go smash.Also, it's just a side mode, like "something rotten in kislev" where u get infinite money, everything builds instantly and you just smash army nonstopm for like 10 turns and then it ends. I played that with my mate, it's really cool.>>549982125Wasn't that the coop game where each side is 3 players or such, each controlling like 4 units?
>>549971683Unironically every single character in this picture looks cool EXCEPT for the fucking space marine.
Anyone done a tyrion campaign yet after the rework? Challenging at all?
>>549971683Unironically every single character in this picture looks cool EXCEPT for the fucking tau.
>>549982284Nah the Tau looks cool you stupid marinefag
>>549982125I played it, it was really fun but highly microtransactional and pay to win when you were high level
>>549978637This took me back to my first campaign victory as France in Med2.I was happy then. A better time.
>>549982178No and it still sounds dumb to me
>>549982550Well u don't have to play it. And if it's a dlc, u don't have to buy it. Nobody is forcing u. U can keep stacking em spearmani and archers behind for the 5millionth time if u wanna.
>>549971683Sick designs and a massive fucking buzz lightyear speshmarin to ruin it.They look so fucking stupid
>>549981484>>549982178>I wish total war had such a mode3kingdoms has a literal clone of DoW2 Last Stand. Iirc even down to having 3 playable characters. You pick a team of chink superheroes, upgrade them and slaughter tons of other chinks which arrive in waves, each time stronger. Its honestly identical. I'm pretty sure it even has coop.
Tau are cool
>>549982802Why does the abandoned china slop get all the cool things?
i think taufags might genuinely be more annoying than spez muhreen fags at this point
>>549982995this was always the case
What's everyones favorite campaign or LL in wh3 and why?
>>549982853whys she got massive dicksucking lips
>>549963660>Do people actually give a fuck about soccer teams?>It's all the same dudes just in different colors.have you
Whats the dragon faction in 40k? Whats the vampire faction in 40k?
>>549983084she needs them
>>549983223There are only spacemarinemanii
>>549982974Tww3 could get such cool things like faction intros, game modes like this etc if they didn't waste time, resources and manpower on Realms of Chaos
>Total War 40K will be a completely different genre from a normal total war game>fantasy will be cemented as the best total war series has to offerHow are you enjoying your campaign annons?
>>549983318I mean, sure.. RoC is trash but I did have fun playing through it at least once. And the battles where you use that shitty ressource to buy troops and build towers mid fight is cool.
>>549983318Katarin RoC when I played it for the first time was the most fun I had in this game in a long long time. It was extremely hard too before the rework. I actually restarted the campaign which never ever happens when I play the game normally.
Playable Sauron is cool but they need to make him a single entity, bigger and have knockback like the trolls. Normal sized Sauron is kinda funny though lol
>>54998322340k does have vampires but the only dragons are fake robot ones.
>>549983259why they have forehead vagines
>>549983518Mordor's forces being white guys is slightly funnier
>>549983518does he have the ring tho
>>549983687they're mindfucked
>>549977181>Knights Teutonic>the good guy
>>549983746Those are Black Numenoreans, perfectly canon
>>549983360I'm trying to figure out how to quell the goblin chimpouts before they bring armageddon down on us from the Deep Halls.
>>549983771He isn't playable until you do a mission chain where you get the One Ring back. His bodyguard is pretty OP which I guess is supposed to mean the Ring is making him powerful.
>>549983893i hated how ass playing moria was in this modfelt like you couldnt do shit to keep the balrog from waking up and one shotting your ass
>>549983894oh I see. I wonder also if the reason they can't make him taller is that Attila modding won't allow for it without making the rest of his unit the same size
>>549983223>dragon factionExodite eldar, criminally underrated
>>549983559>>549983223>40k does have vampiresSlight correction, it technically has vampires but they're good guys and them being vampires is barely even an element in their character.Also they're space marines
>>549984324That's not a dragon, that's a dinosaur with a helicopter backpack
>>549956709Geomantic Web being nothing but passive buffs to commandments is shit. Add something like the Demon factions Unholy Manifestations that unlocks more actions as you secure/develop territory so there's something to actually engage with.Aside from that just buff the econ somehow, the lizardconomy is terrible. Even stacking the GeoWeb buffs they still feel poor.For lords I'm less sure but Mazdamundi should get something that lets him be a top tier caster a la Kairos. Buff Ruination of Cities to not be shit. He's the de facto faction leader so I'm fine with him being kinda basic beyond that.
>>549958556By what kind of videos he browses on YouTube, hes a gigachud just like us
>Med 3>on the 40k enginethis is not looking good histfriends
>for greater good, tssssssss
can tau become chaos worshipers
>>549984158It requires a bit of gaming the system, like colonizing all the empty territories while the phases are changing. You have to get to the point where you've got gold just laying about first though, and with all the goblins constantly poking the Balrog that's not easy.
I hope the new engine is easily moddable. I'm somewhat of a demographics changer myself.
>>549985195Same, I love adding melinated BIPOCs and gender minorities as representation.
>>549985195same, i love replacing marines with cute girls
>>549985301if you don't think those groups of people exist in the grim darkness of the future then you are fooling yourself
>>549985156Why does this have to keep being said? YES YOU STUPID NIGGER ANYTHING IN THE SETTING CAN AND WILL HAPPEN THATS THE POINT ITS AN OPEN ENDED CREATE YOUR OWN FANTASY IN SPACE
>>549985156No, Tau are very strange in that they have almost no warp signature. They aren't blanks, but something fucked with them during the Warp Storm that saved their ass and speed ran their civilization to relevance.My bet is the Necrons have some weird plan for them. Not the Necrons as a whole, just some subfaction.
>>549985156maybe
>>549985403tyranids can't
playing aislinnteclis faction was destroyed. the game says I can revive his faction by claiming his former capital and give it back to him.how do I do that? His faction is no longer in the diplomacy tab. I colonized his settlement, since there was no option to create an outpost and give it to him (since his faction was inelligible).
>>549985195>>549985301I hope i can customize a homebrew Astra Militarum division that's actually a democratic, liberal, LGBT-friendly, anti-Imperium and anti-racist partizan force that aims to creare a safe planet welcomed for everyone, humans and xenos, and even for demons and the moderate followers of Chaos (a religion of peace, despite what the fascist Imperial propaganda claims): just like the Founding Fathers did for the USA!
>>549985156We've never seen it happen before.
>>549985614abandon it and attempt to resettle, should be an option next to the colonize optioni missed it the first time toobe warned youll automatically form a military alliance with them
.
>>549985387I'm more surprised that anything other than brown mystery meat exists in the universe at large.
>>549985387Nergos are most likely going to be extinct in the next 100 years if all the numbers keep going the way they do, having them in sci-fi is unrealistic.
>>549985156They are based on chinks/eastern philosophy and as a result they basically have extremely stunted, borderline nonexistent souls that barely register in the warp and taste like plain popcorn to chaos. Borderline flavorless and you have to eat like a thousand of them to even feel like you ate anything. Basically the exact opposite of elves.
>>549985719gotcha. thanks
>>549985156Tau's souls tastes like shit because they are space chink, so almost souless. Chaos usually dont bother
>>549985156Only humans turn to Chaos
>>549985387Why should I care, you yourself wont be alive to see the real future either.
>>549985156only humans and elves are so weak and pathetic that they turn to chaos. Tau are superior
>dont reply
Just a reminder that literally the only thing Lorgar did wrong was not wanting to be an atheist.
What campaigns are in a good state right now?
>gw are unironically going to add skaven to 40kIt's so unimaginably over...
>>549985156Tau souls are weaker in the warp, but they can. There's a theory that Farsight has Khorne's gaze on him and Khorne really wants him turned Khornate, while Tzeentch wants him for himself.
>>549987009>horus heresy trashirrelevant to this thread
>>549985403...Necrons can?
>Still busy reuniting the Rhunic empire>Sauron blitzed Minas TirithO-ok
>>549958556Always will be
>>549987610
>>549987009Horus Heresy lore is better than 40K wokeslop sharts in every way
>>549987009lorgar is an enormous cuck who sickened the one person who could have pulled him out of his self flagellationtruly, lorgar sympathizers are worse than angron FAGGOTS
>>549985156no, of course not
>>549985156corn gave that one tau faggot his blessings because he finally got mad
>>54998784230k was a mistake that ruined all the aurea of mythic mystery regarding the HH. Its pretty much the GW equivalent of the SW prequels
>>549987856The only thing Angron did wrong was be a victim of the shitty writers needing the Emperor turn his sons against him and not giving a shit about making it make sense.The heresy is really cool but the giant turd hanging over the whole thing is that The Emperor is written to be an absolute moron with decision making and foresight poorer than that of a brain damaged grot whenever the plot demands it
>>549987965Much like the prequels, the heresy's flaws are overshadowed by the genuinely beautiful moments and overarching narrative, whereas modern Star Wars slop, much like modern 40K, is total by the numbers dogshit that was written only to obediently push THE AGENDA(tm), narrative be damned.
>>549988012the only thing angron did wrong was not fucking killing himself after failing to even break even on his planet
40k haters how are we coping and seething?
>>549988174I mean he got spawncamped by Eldar as an infant, what was he supposed to do?
>>549988268kill them
Erebus did nothing wrong, the Emperor was a liar and a thief.
>>549988332erebus did everything wrong and reveled in it because he hates everyone
>>549988230giggling at the fact that CA is going to do a Hyenas again except this time there's a tiny minority of extremely loud retards who actually really really want this game and will react very amusingly when it fails.Its just too bad we probably have to wait another year and a half for the funny
>>549988332Nigga even the Chaos gods don't like Erebus, he's like the one coworker nobody will bother to fire but everyone hates more than anything because he ruins everything he's involved in by being himself
>muh angron>muh erebus>muh lorgarTHE REAL FAGGOT IS THE EMPEROREVEN GIRLYMAN IS FUCKING ASTOUNDED BY SOME OF THE DECISIONS HE MAKESHE FUCKING DEMANDED TO PUT HUMANITY ON HIS BACK AND THEN FUMBLED THE FUCKING BALLEVEN IF HE DIDN'T DO WHATEVER FAGGOT DEAL GW IS HINTING AT WITH THE WARP AND IS MISUNDERSTOOD, HOW DO YOU FUCK THIS UP THIS BADLY???
Any good campaign suggestions for wh3? I'm doing an all nighter watching my newborn and need something to keep my awake. Thanks lads.
>>549988558is there literally any explanation as to why the emperor was so nice to everyone EXCEPT angron?
>>549987146This isn't true, he just has a cursed sword and he is disgusted by it. The sword hasn't corrupted him at all.
>>549988592He was a whiny autistic bitch.
If you confederate Aislinn, you dont get his unique research tree, right? That makes his ships company ASS
>>549988592He probably seethed some slaver chuds had actually managed to physically tamper with his work.
>>549988592even morty, who hated the emps to his face and ultimately failed his goal of killing his necromancer adopted dad, was able to get something going on his planetangron didn't
If the Emperor had Sigmar's personality, there would be no Horus Heresy. All the primarchs would've stayed loyal.
>>549988592He isn't nice to Mortarian either, although to be fair that was slightly unintentional.
>>549988575franz
>>549988592The writing required it
>>549988774He probably did at one point. The thing about the Emperor is he's been through 100,000 years of Humanity's bullshit, and came out the other end as a reddit atheist.
>>549988774Actually if the primarchs were female there wouldn't have been a Horus Heresy
>>549989087Two of the Primarchs were female.You know which ones I'm talking about.
>>549989087nothe daddy issues in 40k are astounding despite it only being menimagine the daddy issues if emps had daughters instead
>>549989252Sanguinius and Angron bros....
>>549989087How would that have prevented it?
>>549989354They'd have all braided each others hair and said things like "i'm trans btw, not sure if that matters".

>>549989462>female knightsInstant trash.
>>549989514>t. faggot
>>549989087>Actually if the primarchs were female there wouldn't have been a Horus HeresyCorrect. Humanity would have just gone extinct before they even conquered the initial ring around the Terran solar system.
>>549989462wow. they really are going to do it. the emperor of mankind is going to be a legendary lord in tw40k.
>>549988592He wasnt nice to curze either
>>549989354Read Dune for an explanation, that's why the God Emperor (the worm one) managed to both take over the galaxy and rule it undisputedly.
>>549985156They're souls are non existent, minuscule at best
Who would win: an exalted bloodletter or Aragorn, son of Arathorn
>>549989918The Bene Gesserit lost. Cope harder.
Is sayl any fun? I know I should use the kurgan horsemen, but how should I shape his army? Bearmen with the new LH with some fimir for punching power?
>>549990037I'm not talking about the Bene Gesserit though
I really don't like that you have meta progression now. I don't like that one campaign will influence my next campaign.
>>549990645well then you shouldn't be a faggot in your campaign then
>>549990645That just means it's all part of the same campaign.
>>549990080>Is sayl any fun?Yeah, he's Tzeentch manipulations but better until you hit the cap, then no fun allowed till cooldown reset. I'm not sold on horse's desu. Cathay and Chaos can be dealt with marauders, trolls and Flimir alone
>biggest campaign is 10 old game continents in sizeAre you happy with this?
I'm literally soijacking while playing dawnless days.>massive gondorian lines>kino lotr music>huge elven volleysif they keep updating the mod it could become as good as DaC. only bad things I've noticed so far is the music mixing being bit too abrupt and overpowered cavalry terror bomb

>>549991141If all this galactic stuff can work offline, then sure.
Why should I play TW 40k instead of DoW apocalypse mod? unironically, no memes, not hating, yes its my dogshit unfiltered opinoin what then, cumming in peace, etc
>>549991625>TW40k requires an internet connection and SegaPlay account to function
>>549991747Wow thanks for an intresting scenario, we sure get alot of these lately.
>>549991865Anytime.
>>549991167Northwest definitely needs to be filled out even if it is sparsely populated in the lore, I noticed none of the playable factions are from there. Lindon is only playable in custom battles.
>>549991141>>549991625Their description of a all those campaign map layers sound like either overambitious kino or a complete garbage with nothing inbetween and all hinging on whether they are retarded enough to make their game always online live service.
>-100% per secondso I press this and within a second they're fresh from exhausted? am I reading that right?
How come a slaanesh lord has actually damaging poison for their army when nurgle lords don't.
>>549992316Nurgle wants to keep the hosts of the diseases alive to enjoy them (ignore all the mortis engine effects).
>>549990037the fish speakers or whatever they were called they returned later wearing leotards and kicking people in the balls
>>549992316because nurgle is about disease not poison>FINE ASSHOLE, why don't they have a disease thatthey do
>>549992316Because love is the true poison
I forgot how fucking fast your lords level in vanilla, whack
franz, get me out of this whack ass crystal prison
>>549991502You mean Age of Wonders: Planetfall's Empire Mode. AoW4 doesn't have shit for meta progression
>>549991970In the inverview they did for gameradar, lore guy mentioned narrative type of campaigns and the influence of 40k lore on TW 40k.They created an impession that they want to impement current and future big lore showdowns, so I'm guessing 500 world stuff is not off the table.
FEAR THE SINDARI BVLLalso their campaign is endless dol guldur stacks that you kill again and again with shit regen. Noldori supremacy when
>>549992507I want to steal things in space so bad, bros....
>no naval battles for 40klmao okay what's the point then?
>>549991920Suck my cock ratfag. This is a Lizard thread, in a lizard year with LizardMAN content spreading to the masses
>>549989462I fall for this shit every single time, I'm so fucking retarded.
>>549992579>>549992579>I want to steal things in space so bad, bros....kek
>>549992573There aren't enough of them to make a faction. Lorien is a few Sindar and mostly Silvan elves with a Noldo queen. Even Mirkwood is basically Silvan elves with a Sindar ruling clan.
>>549992684You kiss your Slann with that mouth?
Which order faction has the most brutal campaing?
>>549992861Katarin rn with the bearmen unit being added to norsca. Also throgg with his suped up trolls coming for that ass.
>>549992861Probably Markus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ4hAx6ga_cthis si your average SMfag btw
>>549992558It does have meta progression, but not as cool. Since they got scared of powercreep. Which I wouldn't be surprised if it afflicted TWW40K as well
>>549993147I haven't watched it, but rate the onions.
>>549992639To see your blob of space marines fight the blob of orks>but isn't that what Dawn of War is aboutYeah but in Total War the blobs are slightly bigger
>>549975816that quest doesnt have any markers to run to, its about killing a dragon
>tfw forgot to switch unit size from default to Ultra and now have to restart campaignevery fucking time
>>549955863Maybe a year or two. I don't think they will divide the game in three parts this time.If the game is done even in a small amount well, they can sit there and make as many DLCs they want. Main factions are all but guaranteed to arrive.
Being a Space Marine (Ultramarines) fan is the only proper way to enjoy the Warhammer 40k experience
I can now conclude Rhun is boring as hellYou expect to go fight Dale and raze it to the ground, but most of your roster is locked off until you spend a ton of turns fighting other factions with your same roster across incredibly slow and large terrain
>>549993797Orkz fans get by alright 99% of the time.
I hate those purple fucks
>>549994000I make a point to eliminate them quickly.
>>549993947It was similar in DaC where you first take control of the clans, unlock all your roster, and then go beat the shit out of Dale, Dorwinion and Erebor. I personally liked it, not sure how it is in Dawnless Days.
>>549971683>Space Marine depicted as 8 feet tallThe amount of people getting trolled by that one decades old Jes Goodwin illustration to this very day really does amaze me.
>>549994035you mean the treemen, or drycha's faction as a whole?
>>549994000burn them
>>549994123Drycha. Angry trees getting in the way of my glorious reunification. I don't care about Wood Elves otherwise. Just stay in your lane, dudes.
>>549993947trvke. harad is the premium brownoid faction
>>549994175Ironically Harad has all the aryan numenorean chuds
Are sisters still the best wood elf experience? haven't played since wh2.
>>549994265I still prefer Durthu
>>549994265ya
>>549963219Thats asking a bit too much from CA.
>>549994093
>>549994320>>549994430you guys get the mod that allows wood elves to shoot through trees?
Warhammer 3rd edition was the last good edition.Everything afterwards has been a crime against God.
>>549968335>>another imperial guard tank mashupExcellent, I believe I will be pre-ordering.
>>549994470The Kopinski Incident had a devastating impact on Space Marine art for a while but it's worth noting that Space Marines explicitly do not have normal human proportions, they're giant barrel-chested freaks underneath their armour.
>>549968335haha
Bake the new bread, you lazy bastids.
>>549995150I really hope whatever licensing agreement CA has with GW allows them to plumb the depths of the old Forge World catalogue, there's so much cool stuff in there.
>>549995482They do for TWW so presumably the same will apply in 40k TW
>>549995347u do it
>>549992938>>549992958Both wrong. The real answer is Miao Ying. Not even the AI with all of its cheats can survive the Sail, Snikch, Lokhir and Dechala gnagbang.
>>549992861Boris, you are in the middle of the Chaos Wastes and everyone among the Chaosniggers hates you
>>549995880But you start with two bearmanii
>>549995816You have multiple allies: your brothers, Gelt, Nakai
>>549995816>Miao Ying getting gangbangedl-lewd
>>549995743You'd think so, but WHFB spent most of TWWH's lifespan as a completely discontinued line while 40k is GW's corporate darling that they want to drive model sales for. I definitely would not put it past them to only allow CA to use models that are currently offered for sale by GW.
When I think of 40k i think of the humongous ships, how can I enjoy the game if they dont have any of those
>>549996261well you see
I can't handle the Attila engine... just take the models and port Dawnless to Warhammer bros...
I think they need to nerf the missile block chance of the cavalry in Dawnless Days, 44% on a low tier cav is cancer, I know that warg riders have shitty bow but kill a few of them while wasting half of ammo just suck, the fact that flamming arrow got nerfed also didn't help.
>>549968335May I remind you the last 3 dlcs made you pay for a reskined unit with a added shield.
>>549987009If ever there was a man who did absolutely everything wrong, it would be Lorgar.
>>549988592Comes with being a colossal failure. Angron literally failed multiple times to break out of his prison on Nuceria, BEFORE he got the nails that completely fucked up his brain.
>>549987009Idk why, but that face reminds me of this clip.https://youtu.be/5ewjzoF962w
>retake dog guldur>can't rename it to amon lacshieeeeeeeet
God the Masque is disgustingly strong.
>>549994000Don't worry, they hate you too.
>>549997460>>549997445>>549996768I thought we talked about 40k here what on earth are these posts about?
>>549996439>just take the models and port Dawnless to Warhammer bros...GW says noBut they could port it to 3k, which has more cool features. Except for Navy Battles, but those really don't matter anyway. Unless you play as Umbar I guess
>>549997712>GW says no
>>549996439>Filtered by the last good TW gameHow?
>>549995482They'll probably get all the shit they want, I don't even know how this game is going to end, because the table top content is still getting new editions.What edition they'll decide to stop? 11th? 12th?
>>54999400040k won't have them so it has that going for it.
>>549972152>>549997712LotR without Attila's scufffed lighting sounds phenomenal.
>>549998090>>549995482TWW design was handicapped. Immortal Empires (Expanded) is all they can include. Design of immortal LLs and how big map is restricts further bloat. Already they have no more room where to put factions and it gets even more ridiculous when you start bloating game further with mod factions. Then there is no reason to ever use generic lords when you have LLsTWW40k scale is so big it doesn't seem it will ever have such issues. It seems to natively support an endless amount of campaigns, both premade and generated ones. Some campaigns could be themed to be focused against particular enemy. Not in all of them you need all races, but all races, factions and subfactions could be included in game in general. Honestly you could bloat it with both dlcs and mods multiple times over what you can do in TWW3 Immortal Empires and it would still be fine.I do not believe there is any actual limit there. Thunderhawks already showed up. They can source their stuff from new units which are released constantly for every faction and then go back and pick stuff from previous editions, old forge world stuff and probably Horus Heresy even since some units get Legends rules from there.
