Believe and you shall be saved.
I know that Luthor Huss is in the trailer but does that truly mean Valten is the LL?
>>552819109Sissyemperor was born a VASSAL of Mithridates.There for Pontus>>>>>>≥>>>>>>Imperium
Valten is going to be a LH.Man was a duelist not a general
Yin-Yin is the only lord that makes sense for the Cathay mini DLC due to the way the map is currently opened up.
Is it ever worth it to recruit weapon teams as Thrott?I like warpfire throwers
>>552819492He was LL in tabletop in End Times. Luthor Huss was the LH attached to him. He also lead the defense of Middenheim in End TImes.
>>552819331
>>552819492>Guy with the only tabletop stats comparable to Archaon>He is going to be downgraded from LL to LH just because you say so.I don't think you know how this works. GW sets the stats of the character and CA has to follow them. They aren't going to have a LH in game that can literally solo entire armies by himself especially since CA themselves said they cater to multiplayer.
Which LL is most like Hitler?
>>552813556Lore of Nehekhara was one of the weaker lores.When Tomb Kings first got split off, the Lore of Nehekhara was a limited list, consisting of a magic missile, a free attack for a unit, a heal, and a unit movement spell. But they were all bound spells, which meant that any unit that could cast would, not hampered by the power dice pool or miscasts of traditional casting(including Kings and Princes who could cast the combat buff or the movement spell). Combined with their Undead status and their archers always hitting on an unmodifiable 5+, it made a Tomb Kings an implacable if predictable army that would grind through every turn.With 8th Edition it got a normal Lore format, with the healing spell relegated to the Lore Attribute (which only affected the friendly unit you cast on). It had mid-high spell costs, and nothing too great. Tomb Kings army also shifted to be more Construct and less skeleton reliant. The Total War Lore of Nehekhara was an improvement, having both wider healing and cheaper spells to feed it.
>>552820124Thorgrim.
Bretonnia rework this year?
>>552819971>>552819769end times wasn't real tabletop. we all went back to 8th edition after a week.
What do you get if you win Sea Lord Aislinn the Pernicious final Quest battle on the campaign map?
>>552820479I wanted Aislinn to have an incredibly snooty RP accent.
>>552820331Yeah, that is why we have a literal DLC based on it coming out later this year....
>>552820479play the battle and tell us
>>552820479And people call Imrik a generic elf
>>552820585point is nobody actually played with valten as a lord so CA can do whatever they want. fucking wurrzag was a hero in tabletop and look at him now
Sorry for being late, friends.Thanquol soon, friends!
>>552820791Yes, the promote heroes all the time like dechala and masque. They don't downgrade lords to heroes though.
>>552820479Why didn't they add the seaweed bit on his helmet?https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Aislinn?file=SeaLord_Aislinn_SeaOfClaws.pngWish his helmet had a bit more colour on it too, maybe more turquoise on the 'fins' at the side to make it stand out a bit more.
Slay Queen!
>>552822420I'd be damn shocked if no one did this campaign live on /twg/ already.
I fucking hate the WH3 mapWhy am I, as Thrott, encouraged to get bogged down fighting Kislev instead of pushing north into the Chaos Wastes? Hellpit is there because of all the monsters clan Moulder can capture and experiment on in the Chaos Wastes. You could give him some fun quest battles fighting Norsca and WoC and give him special objectives to kill Mamoths, Chaos Giants, and other shit.Nope. Instead you fight Kislev. Fuck Kislev this faction is gay.
>start malekith campaign >by turn 5 hellebron has already suicided herself into the nearest norscan/beastmen faction>morathi somehow confeds everyone around her >Alith Anar finished raping everyone around him and is now sizing up my buttcheeksI hate snow...
>>552823712by our bloods you
Three Kingdoms is so fun, watching generals duel is awesome and the court system is great. God will punish CA for canceling what could've been their greatest game.
>>552823712Play the old world map instead
>>552824717Doesn't that crash constantly?
>>552824990Nope, must be a problem with your modlist
Now that I conquered all of Kislev as Kislev, where do I expand next?
Skrag or Greasus for my first Ogres campaign?
anyone else's achievements just start working again?
>>552825701Greasy BoyScrag is built with you already having some ogre experience. His start is tougher and from turn one you're having to play around Camps.
>>552825883ICIC. I was just worried since Greasus starts near some really fucking awful lords to deal with doesn't he?Any tips for the fatsos?
>I felt like a slave since I couldn't talk about religion or politics with my Warhammer-watching audience.
>>552826086>waaaa I'm not allowed to say niggertrannyfaggot on streamThe words of a buckbroken Chud
>>552825658Just north of Lustria, apparently.
>>552826086who are you quoting?
>>552826268its the opposite, war thunder fans are all chuds and tankies so he can't give his midwit centrist takes
>>552825972ABCAlways Be ChargingOgres get huge charge bonuses and they're generally not gonna sit in combat without taking lots of damage.Also Ogres suck at sieges so have fun with that.
>>552826268he is a trans+gay+lesbian ally and doesn't judge people according to their race or species, chuddie
>>552826708>Also Ogres suck at sieges so have fun with that.I was kind of afraid of that.I picked up the Golgfag DLC as well, so at least i have more shit to play with.I'll lard it up and see how it goes.
>>552820139>>552813556nehekhara was fine in 8e, ca is just lazy and doesnt want them to do anything special because of spagetti code, and have the worse picks for spells, like imagine if tomb kings had khsars incantation of desert wind, then you could actually move, of its nerus incantation of protection actually gave a ward save and was an aoe when overcast
What are the best lores?Nurgle, Death, Hashut, Fire?
first stop in the southlands is either kill elves or kill marrienburg
>>552826998I really would like to see all the lores get their missing spells. We have the technology to make them work now and CA just stripped them down to 6 spells because lazinessI just really think it'd be funny if fire got its net spell back
My father was an abusive alcoholic who almost killed my mom before killing himself when I was young. The experience has left me fucked up and he passed down his plethora of mental illnesses/compulsions which need heavy medication so I can function. At this point im a sociopath with late stage depression who is an overly generous people pleaser to the point of self-sabotage, because I dont want anyone else to experience what I have.LL for this feel?
>>552828359Shut the fuck up Nicole
>>552828359Queek
>>552819660Here you go my man : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882587644&searchtext=confederating+you+can+getJust confed Ikit and you'll get his forbidden workshop.
>>552827396Life
>>552827495marrienburg just got confederated into the empire, now I gotta pick a fight with the confederated empire, another 6 stacks from the coast are on there way, i have no idea how far his territory spreads, and dont wanna pick a fight with bretonnia and empire at one time.
>>552829026I fucking hate Ikit and I hate the Forbidden WorkshopThat's why I started a Trott campaign instead
>>552828359>im an ... overly generous people pleaser to the point of self-sabotagesuck my dick then, if you're so generous and eager to please
Settra campaign is fucking gay man. Turn 9 still fighting Mannfred and Skarbrand declares war on me. Turn 10 razes Numas. Campaign over or what? Settra is like 3 turns away from the front.
>>552831419It's over try again.
So Swords of Chaos for Archaon sucks as an RoR right? It's such a low model count.
Every faction should get a corruption
>>552832841>full circle back to the religion demographics system from 22 years ago
>>552832841what special corruption does daniel get
does it really cost 90,000 to remove a chaos cult or is that a bug
>>552832841empire gets purity corruption
>>552829212got a military alliance with norsca, and an excuse to only fight empire for now, they have knightly orders on their side though. four units of knights of the black rose.
>>552833230Mental retardation
>>552833897>you know there's something wrong when all of your citizens start playing League of Legends
>>552834154do not say those words out loud, you may accidentally summon a /lolg/ger
>>552833751Based "I can actually fix her" enjoyer
>>552819492There's plenty of LLs already that fit that description
Remember the siege rework?I remember it
Punish naughty Xenos
>>552834738Next Tuesday
>>552833754They're actually marching too me, reinforcement time is still instant so im just waiting for the hell cannon.
Legendary Heroes was a retarded idea started by lore nitpickers. Any notable champion of any faction would have no trouble amassing a retinue of followers to help them fight their battles
>>552835184nice model
>>552834738I still don't know how you fix the inherent problem with sieges. They're fine for some factions but torture for others because of the gaps some factions have in their armies.I guess they'd just have to make them way more asymmetrical? So every faction has their own inherent little way to deal with siege mechanics? But that sounds like a nightmare too.
>>552835370i got just as much cav, no idea how they're gonna stack up in cav v cav.
what character packs are you realistically expecting besides the announced kurt helborg and cathay ones?
>>552836427Pirate Skaven!Why not!?Also Chorfs are probably gonna get a 4th lord at some point. Tzeench needs a FLC lord. Besides that idk.
>>552835507The changes they were showing off were at least improvements, ladders SHOULD be siege equipment that compete with rams and towers instead of everyone getting them for free, gates SHOULD be impervious to anything that's not a monstrous whateverBut yes ultimately the ideal WOULD be different factions having different approaches, rats have tunneling ffs, like Mandalore highlighted in his vid its ridiculous that walls protect against ghosts at all
>>552835737There still marching troops, two of the cavalry have split off and are about to get swarmed with slannesh cavalry.
>>552835274There's amassing followers and then there's leading whats basically a nation to build an empire
>>552836726Some lords should be able to punch through gates. Like Karl has a magic hammer, I think that's cool and fluffy. Not, like, Thrott though. You can't break down a gate with a big stick.
>>552836427>LL: Joseph Bugman>LH: Bazrak Bolgan >H: Brewmaster>1: Mountain Rangers>2: Beer Cart>3: Rune Guardians
Quitting my settra campaign 20 turns in. Skarbrand really just ruins your natural progression and flow. No, I dont want to go slow through your attrition filled lands in the north meeting fucking Queek, Gorbad and other fuckers to lock me into forever wars, I want to unify the desert and build my pyramids.Tomorrow i'll play Luther Harkon, an equally frustrating campaign. Maybe with settlement gifting, I can pay Skulltaker to keep the liggers off my back so I can sail the world whilst keeping the Awakening.If that fails, Wurzag it is.
>>552837272Then unify the desert and build your pyramids? You can just fend off the invaders.
>>552836787keep forgetting that slannesh cav are insanely fast, I get a rear charge off on this cavalry blob before they disengage.
>>552837503I'm playing on VH, Skarbrand will just keep sending stacks down. I wont be able to hold with a shitty army whilst Settra fights Mannfred/Volkmar/Arkhan
>>552837584
>>552837807This guy is brave or stupid
>>552836427I LOVE the idea of character packs. Mini dlcs for races that are almost complete just to get one final DLC in is amazing. Here is what I want.>Ghark Ironskin>Araloth>Tetto'eko>Ushoran >Tullaris Dreadbringer>Ivan Radinov >Lumpin Croop
>>552836884It's not a "nation" it's a 20 unit army max.
Do people really think they are going to pick Araloth for the upcoming announced Wood Elf DLC? They are missing mostly spellcasting stuff like Lore of Athel Loren and the generic lord/heroes are spellcasters. It would be Naeith the Prophetess since she can use that lore and she is one of the very last female lords. They are going to completely fuck over Wood Elves and not give Araloth the main legendary lord of the race.
>>552836427Li Dao, The Monkey King and Mung the Brutal are basically confirmed after they pivoted and now theyre reusing their assets for 1 character packs
>>552840734Its gonna be Naieth with Lore of Athel Loren and she's going to be playable from Laurelorn Forest and due to her crush on Franz, she will actually count as being part of The Empire.
>>552819971They could pull a Kroak and make him a full retard doomstack hero you get via event
>>552826708>Also Ogres suck at sieges so have fun with that.Huh? You get a wall deleter special skill from the start of the campaign and your entire army is functionally cavalry so you can just run through everything.I found sieges to be really easy as ogres, you dont have artillery cheese to siege something with 3 armies as only a single one like Empire or Dwarves but I think they are the easiest melee faction siege.
>>552840345Every LL gets their own faction though
Give me your rare cultist chans

why is Bretonnia colonising Nehekhara and the Southlands?I will assume spreading Bretonnian culture and language to the locals is their end goal, like this:https://files.catbox.moe/xyeiru.mp4
>>552846041yin-yin edition when?
bretonnia should be nuked and if you think about it the french language is actually very annoying, just anyone in Europe
just got Shogun II what mods should I play with?
Lizardmen Rework ideas.>MazdamundiCan do Sim City natural disasters in provinces like Earthquakes, Storms, Eruptions. Also Cataclysm spells and Tzeentch spell selections for himself and all Slann. >Kroq-GarKarl Franz/Tyrion faction edicts.>Tiktaq'toForbidden Workshops for big dinos.>Gor-RokGetting more blessed spawnings for securing Lustria and Southlands for himself and fellow Lizardmen.

what's a campaign where you can't just autoresolve every fight past turn 15? was thinking skarsnik
New to TWW3 but I played a lot of 3K and some WH2. Trying to learn Yuan bo but I'm getting raped by cancer placements in Immortal EmpiresSend help please>if I choose to focus on Lustria, always get spam attacked by Slaanesh so I have to take them out, but because of the water placements I'm required to spent at least 8 turns (4 there, 4 back) clearing their shit out, and by then the nearby humans get raped by Khorne and my shit is getting pushed in>if I focus Kathay, I get 3-prong fucked by Slaanesh taking over the bottom, rats raping the top, and either lizard or tentacleman depending on how they're feelingI always feel I'm doing well until like turn 20 and then I just assfucked by 3 fed to shit monsters, and even when I ally like literally everyone else they still get merked
>>552820124Unironically?End Times Malekith
>>552849626Abuse gifting settlements.
>>552850153I'm doing that too, they lose them fairly quickly
>>552849626On turn one join both of Mazdamundi's wars to immediately get him as a defensive ally. He can easily solo his starting enemies anyway, it literally won't affect you at all and it turns one of your natural early game enemies into an ally and later trade partner. It also makes AI more hesitant to attack youOther early diplo wins is Zhao Ming and Markus Wulfhardt, you can join Markus' war turn one for a NAP and Clan Mange is pathetic so it also won't cost you anythingCathay has a super strong economy and decent enough peasants, exploit this to run three full 20 stack armies with nothing but your starting units, peasants, shotguns and grenadiers. As a rule grenadiers and peasant spears are your best units, but bringing two shotguns to flank the enemy is very strongHave one of your peasant stacks in Cathay, who should take settlements from the vamps when possible but mostly focus on defending your settlements with the help of your garrison. You honestly don't need to do much there, ally Zhao and Gelt, they'll protect you from two out of three sidesHave the other two armies in Lustria, where you should be focusing your expansion on the Orcs who are your first actually somewhat threatening enemy. But your REAL enemies are Skulltaker and the Masque, who you should beeline to and kill as soon as physically possible because they'll just keep getting stronger and stronger
>>552834845>*slurp*
I'm still mad that we're not getting medieval 2 remastered, all that I ever wanted from total war was to play europa barbarorum 2 in a better game than outdated 32 bits medieval 2
>>552851894if we got it none of the mods would be updated
>>552852113they always say how tired they are of working on the mod and how they're all going to quit soon but they kept working on it for the last 10 years, they just like to moan
I was watching the cathay trailer back and there's no way miao ying should survive a fight with kairos
>>552820139>>552826998>>552827843There is nothing good about the tomb kings, they're the worst faction in the game
>>552854364WRONG!
>>552824717I would love to but the loading times are horrible
>>552851336I can fix her
>>552819971Then why are Ghorst and Tretch LL's?
>>552854675Ghorst is of grave importance to the Warhammer narrative
>>552837627Then don't play on VH you fucking retard
>>552850532You do that to secure allies. With strong allies the AI is less likely to declare a war on you.
>>552854364okay, i dont see how that relates to anything thats been said
>>552855412are u esl by chance?
>ive spent like 5 hours debugging my modlist because quest battles were breakingall CA's fault for making a dog ass game that requires user intervention to salvage
>>552855774thats a lot of projection youre doing there, because nobody said anything good about tomb kings
>>552855926>use cheats>spend 5 hours fixing cheats>blame CA for your cheats breaking the gamecheatsfags are low iq
>>552833580no bug
Since when did Bretonnia have Cathay specific diplomacy lines?
>>552856641nearly 4 years now
>>552856641probably since alberics new voice
>>552837272Lower the difficulty. Some campaigns are harder than others.
>Queen of thightsshe's not even wearing any
>>552833754>Cheats
Why can't you vassalise Bretonnia as Warriors of Chaos by taking their last settlement? Be'lakor's campaign basically wants you to kill Louen and then mess with the Empire and Wastes because Bretonnian land must be given to Imperials to have any value
The ONE TRUE legendary lord option we all need
>>552860781I'm sure CA will plagiarise that mod too after the Nagash one.
>>552854538Remove the factions that you aren't going to see, for example if you play the Empire, you aren't going to the southlands, the chaos wastes, the chaos realms, or the darklands
>>552848321SH*RT
I'm playing as Balthazar Gelt in Cathay and I'm at war with Lokhir Fellheart. Every battle I go into has 25 winds of magic with 0 reserve. The hourglass says "Recharge Blocked" I have 11 wizards in my army all above level 20 with Arcane Conduit and even siege battles against a garrison with no lord has the same effect. My army is getting crucified every fight and my numbrs are quickly dwindling. I have a second army to the southeast but Lokhir is running away from him and heading toward the heart of my empire with nothing to stop him.How do I play a mage army with no winds of magic? The only thing I can cast consistently is searing doom which costs 1 wind but its' not fast enough and he has a shit ton of monsters. I could really use some advice.
>>552854673>I can fix-She WILL ruin (you)
>>552862575You have that army using Channeling Stance on the campaign map, right?
>>552862698>Winds of Magic power reserve +15 per turnOh, that's new. It didn't work like that in TW2. I will look into it.
>>552862880Yeah, winds of magic got changed quite a bit from WH2.
>>552862575The strat for dealing with monsters is always to tie them up with a hero or an infantry unit then shoot them with the best available ranged unit. Empire gets AP ranged even with no DLCs which puts them quite far ahead of a lot of factions.
Haven't really played since TWW2. Have they changed Eltharion since release? The warden's cage mechanic of "put the spell on them when they're about to die, but you have to make sure they die during the duration or else it doesn't work" is so unbelievably fucking shit and unfun to use.
>>552862956So if I change my stance, I'm fucked and I have to be in channeling stance for the rest of eternity. The fuck? Why did I have 140 winds of magic when I started but now it's 0 if I'm supposed to forever be in channeling stance? Something's fucked
>>552818903who the fuck is Valten?game's been out for 10 years and I've never heard to this nigger, you guys must have made him up last thread and are now trying to gaslight people into thinking he's an established tableslop character
>>552863936The only interesting Empire character
>>552863936He was a turbo mary-sue they made up to basically be the chosen one of the good guys. But the campaign they made him for got absolutely memed on so they reduced his importance.

>>552833751what do you call this fetish?
>>552863936In 2004 he was introduced as maybe being some kind of reincarnation of sigmar or possibly just some joan of arc type guy that becomes useful at the right moment. End Times obviously had to remove any nuance.

>bragg needs a crit success assassination to get his unbreakable title>6% chancectrl Lctrl Lctrl Lctrl Lctrl LAny second now.
>>552841380Fucking why?!Oh I remember. People wanted "AlTeRnAtE StArTs". Which means they want to fight different enemies without actually moving to fight them. Back in my day you did a challenge and you'd get the ll the next turn. Now CA has more characters than map because each race "needs" 3-4 factions around the map.All because shitters didn't want to play a few turns in March stance

I really hate how all Warriors of Chaos campaigns want you to expand in the exact same direction, Norf, because that's where all your fortresses are. Why the hell is Bretonnia, which is covered in Elven castles repurposed into Human castles and regular Human castles completely empty of fortresses? Every knight wants a castle and is encouraged to have one, no fortresses there, not even one? Why is Empire so empty of them? You expect me to believe Karaks, which are all fortresses better tha Norscan shit, can't be turned into Dark Fortresses, especially Karaz-a-Karak or Eight Peaks? Ulthuan's outer ring is full of huge ass fortresses and cities designed to stop Dark Elf invasions and Black Arks which are objectively more dangerous than some naked guys on longboats, none there neither? Really? Naggarond isn't one neither? I would understand it from a balance perspective, but by 2026 and even 2025 standards Dark Fortress settlements are nothing special, even if you could make every province capital a Dark Fortress it wouldn't be crazy because your minor ones are so bad
>>552872150Shut up gnoblar bitch.

>>552872261they're perfect for you because you can friendly fire them all you want
>>552872405But I want several, or at least one (1) lords of the faction who do not have to expand in the same direction if you want money and heroes. Hope Crom will bring a rework of some sort to the Fortress system, or at least he won't depend on them so I have an alternative>>552872504Nope they came back Monday apparently

>>552872810you have the gay, dude. it seems terminal

>>552875696Whenever I feel like I'd take way too much damage doing it CTRL + A + m2
>>552875696NeverIf you have to cheese you're playing on the wrong difficultyCheesing is an admission that you as a player already lost

is outmanouvering the enemy with cavalry and runner shooters considerd cheesing?
>>552876049Yeah, I mostly play melee factions. I just group em into lord, melee, cav and then go fuck face. But like.. if I'm running half an army chosen and they bring dreadquake mortards, that artillery is gonna get emptied before I mofe anything.
>>552875696If im sieging and the fucking AI has decided to sit 6 armies on its capital Im going to cheese
new tariff kino just droppedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQrwod8LwUI
>>552876093I guess, but it's cheesy in real life too. It's a different level than some other cheeses though.>>552876147I see yeah>>552876227how do you cheese in that situation?

>>552879168They ain't teasing shit
>>552878895I don't think he really wants to play Paradox either or he'd be playing the games already while people still remember who he is, and with his last two streams and their happenings I don't think Paradox will be sponsoring him again or they may stop the moment anyone tells them he sicced his community at a random community manager for no reason, so he seemingly just nuked his own income out of spite for TCA and Godsh-sama>>552879168Doubtful. I think this week we may get official 7.03 though.
>>552876609Call me a cheetah, I care not, but they're too outdated for me to play, so I play with no vampire cove cost increase, no vampire cove cooldown coves are still too shit to bother making lol , better buried treasure (there's like 4 mods for that, some overdone some reasonable) and better land buildings. I hope Coast gets a rework with Nagash or at least soon after.

>>552890949Monstrous infantry work best either bullying ranged/weak flankers or being embedded in infantry to sponge damage for them (crypt ghouls in skellies/zombies are extremely efficient)If you just charge a frontline as ushabti they're going to take a lot of damage because so many attacks are aiming at each ushabti

>>552901012>ayo where da whyte wimin at
>>552886514It's not so bad. He's right thougheverBut Luke admits there are limits, because total accuracy across the board would make the game a bit of a slog."We sometimes avoid using the word accuracy and use authenticity, because authenticity is about the feeling of the past," he says."Many times it's actually more important than just the straight facts."He says the Total War games will always diverge from the "real" path of history, because the games allow players to make decisions that alter the course of events.Total War's game director Pawel Wojs agrees and says allowing players to answer their own "what if" questions is a big part of the appeal."It's a sandbox game so the player can change it ultimately, but we want to set the stage as authentically as possible."Then the player makes their own history."
The Apaches relentlessly charge the Spanish lines, countless brave warriors lose their lives in these brutal attacks.
How does Skaven society function?I can understand the "top guys use brute force to suppress the little guys" but it's implied that all echelons of skaven society are treacherous, backstabbing morons. How can an assassin be relied on to carry out a kill? How can a 'middle class' weaponsmith or overseer be trusted? At it's most basic level, society requires 'trust' and delegation of duties. If all skavendom are pricks, then how is there any kind of hierarchy at all?

>>552896603Awful army comp. Drop the Ushabti melee and get a couple line holders to get your death buffs and wizards to get mass kills. If you have a shadows wizard pit of shades can completely fuck all of their infantry. Necrosphinxes are not amazing I find. Greatbows need to focus on single entities and ideally you should split their army and make them come at you a bit at a time, but it depends on terrain.
vailant defeat my ass
>>552901847Don't watch >>552902079 he just parrots the Warhammer Wiki and makes dumb assumptionsJust read the Warhammer Wiki and make your own dumb assumptions
>>552901847Consider that fantasy races are just aspects of human behaviour. Treacherous people have always existed, but don't always act on it. This is because they are not brave and/or competent enough to pull off what their lack of morals would otherwise let them do. Skaven are too scared of each other to try to fuck each other over as often as they would like to; prostrating and praising to pacify are common in all skaven lower tiers, you just don't get that from the badass LLs who are giving all the one liners. The backstabbing happens when a moment of opportunity (weakness) presents itself.
>Morathi's daemonettes and Alarielle's tree spirits aren't boosted by tech or redlinesOK, but fucking why?\>>552901847It's held together by the fact that Skaven are all abject cowards and everyone isn't playing on the same level. They ultimately know better than to try punching too far above their weight. Some level of basic order is able to be held since the rate of backstabbing doesn't exceed the rate of reproduction and each tier of the upper echelons genuinely doesn't care how much treachery goes on below them. It doesn't matter if the overseer was killed and replaced. All that matters is that there is an overseer in that position.
Fortunately the cavalry and skilled skirmishers with bows and stolen European guns manage to aid the charging warriors. The colonial militias that are much less disciplined than professional European armies break quickly against the Apache's ferocity in battle.

>>552901847funy rats
>>552903798Italy
>>552903798Kislev is a mythologized vision of a kind of exaggerated, generic and mythic Slavicness that incorporates Russia, Ukraine, Poland and beyond, but actual Russian society is about as good a real-world analogue for Skaven society as any.
>>552897669>beastcoomer is a niggerloverNobody's surprised
>>552896548>they're risking the BBCsYep, it's over
Actually what are the civilizations each faction is based off in general? The Empire is Germany, High Elves are England, Dark Elves are America, Bretonnia is France and of course Cathay/Kislev are China/Russia. Not 100% sure on the rest.
>>552904587England is Albion howeverbeetHigh Elves are literally Atlantis
>>552903798Skaven are not based off a civilization or culture, they are unique.
>>552904587Beastmen are Pakistani
>>552899615Oh great thats what i really want. Woman talking behind my back how much i suck.
>>552904176Really? I don't think Russians are anywhere near that bad.
chaos dwarfs are the only faction where control is hard to get and important to have
>>552904837High Elves are about as British as you can get, and considering the British created the setting it makes sense. Also makes the Dark Elves being America fit even better, since that's the British perspective on America leaving the Empire.

>>552905303This comic is retarded, Dawi-Elgi relations are terrible but they could conceivably fight together in dire situations. Lizardmen and Skaven will 100% apocalyptically genocide any of the other race on sight.

>>552905260Play the game slowed down
>>552905479>restarting because you faced unexpected lossesWhy are you even playing the game at that point? Just install more cheats and auto resolve everything, there's really no difference.
Where is my back /vg/?
>>552905479>Salnnesh
>>552904587
>>552905705If you're making that claim you would have to quantify which aspects of British culture each represent.

>>552905820ik cheats posters are retards, but this is a new one. im just restarting the siege, id rather not be lined next to King Monkey if he's gonna kill 3/4 of the second stack and his own troops on spawn in.
>>552906432But Empire didn't create anything, it just borrowed stuff from other cultures. Dwarves and Cathay are the scientifically advanced factions in WHFB. The Empire wouldn't even have gunpowder if it wasn't gifted to them by the Dwarves who in turn got theirs from Cathay. So the Empire is very far downriver of the actual technological advancements being made in the setting.
>>552906432Bretonnia
>it's another "my country is the coolest country episode"how do third worlders cope with this?
>>552906558>I'm just cheating the outcome of the battle since I failed to predict what would happenYeah ok man, you're totally winning that campaign legit, totally.

>>552906692Dwarfshttps://youtu.be/h2eERK3S9Hc?t=10
>>552901847Stability is ensured by the fact that all skaven, being inherently treacherous and intelligent, will prepare contingencies and safeguards for their inferiors betraying them just as they themselves plan to betray their superiors.Most skaven have the intelligence to recognize when the time is right to make an attempt at usurpation and when an attempt would have no chance at success, so they aren't spending literally every waking moment actively trying to kill each other, only planning to betray and be betrayed.They spend the time between these attempts on each other's lives doing the things necessary to ensure their society functions out of fear, promise of compensation and psychopathic pragmatism.Their fear of and occasional pangs of affection for the great horned rat as the ultimate superior and their creator, a being incapable of being usurped, also occasionally unites them in purpose and distracts them from their constant, instinctual need to backstab each other.
>>552906692I do not really fathom how you think only England had peasants. I'm pretty sure the faction with legit French accents is, in fact, based off of the French.
>>552906904and Wood Elves
>>552907085The nobles and knights areTry clicking on those shit caked chaffAnd yes the accents are canon before TW
>>552907085>BreTonniaBut their peasant have english accents?
>>552907085nta but the one place in history where the nobles spoke french and the peasant spoke english was england when normans ruled it
>>552907110Wood Elves are a highly advanced people with culture and technology surpassing that of most factions in the setting.
>>552906651Dwarfs invented gunpowder on their own.It's also a retarded retcon that the cathayan dragons gave the skytitans gunpowder.
Would poster quality increase if we got Total War Warcraft?
>>552907353>BretonniaYeah, it's based off Breton. >Breton refers to the people, Celtic language, and culture of Brittany (Breizh), a region in northwest FRANCESo, they're French.
What is it with Ogres and larping as Pirates?
>>552907880Nothing but blackedposting and futaposting
>>552907730Doesn't change their analogue being old celtic druids
>>552907880I browse /wowg/, here is an example of OC from /wowg/ and you be the judge:https://files.catbox.moe/3z8528.png
>>552907761Canon is canon. Cathay is the inventor of gunpowder, not the Dwarves. Too bad if you don't like it, you can headcanon your own stuff the way 90% of players do with the End Times, but in the end, the actual game and setting has Cathay as the inventors of gunpowder, not Dwarves. >>552907880It's weird to me people still think Warcraft is any kind of significant IP when no one gives a single flying fuck about it anymore.
>>552908087No, dwarfs didn't inherit gunpowder from cathay, they invented it independently.That's canon.
>>552907880>>552908003You're triggering my /wowg/ ptsd right now...
>>552907910>Bretagne = Brittanythe plot thickens
>>552908184No, it isn't. The latest stuff has Cathay inventing gunpowder and trading it to the Dwarves, which is where they got it from. Would go a long way in explaining why the Dwarves barely do anything but go off their old plans, they're too dumb to do anything but copy off of the Cathayans stuff, thus all the taboos about developing new tech.
>>552908040I like futas as much as everyone, but what would I do with 7 penises?
I do think it's funny all these people are fighting to claim stuff like Bretonnia yet no one is claiming factions like Warriors Of Chaos or Ogre Kingdoms as representative. Also we still haven't got any feedback on what nation or culture Skaven are based on.
>>552908371Wrong, it is still canon that dwarfs invented gunpowder independently without cathayan material or assistance.
>>552908576>Also we still haven't got any feedback on what nation or culture Skaven are based onI already said there isn't one.
>>552908479Two for your hands, two for your feet, three for your holes. This isn't hard math here.
>>552908576WoC are just mega-Vikings and Ogres are Mongolian hordes hence those little asian mustaches
>>552908618False. Cathay is the origin of gunpowder and Dwarves got it from them.
>>552909190You can take it up with GW nigger, this was released after new cathay and their lore was revealed, it has not been stated to be false by GW.
>>552908848Yes, saying "I don't know so there must not be one" is a stellar contribution, good stuff anon.
Cathay only invented NTR porn based on the sexpacades of Meow Ying.FACT>>552907880Really aren't that much worse or better than average Warhammerfag
>>552909414Are you fucking retarded? >The Dawi were the first to use gunpowder for anything beyond fireworksThat doesn't change Cathay being the origin of gunpowder. Do you not know how to read?
>>552909514TRVKE
>>552909414>>552909654Also from that same book.Dwarfs invented it on their own, live with it.
>>552909140Really? I thought Warriors Of Chaos were supposed to more analogous to the Christian missionaries that eventually converted the Norse completely to their religion. Ogres being Mongolians tracks, yeah.
Is Morathi fun now? Is there a mod that gives her all the Slaaneshi demons? Could be a fun combined campaign.I wanna play Druchii but they're kind of bland comparatively to other factions right now.
>>552909803Cathay had already traded gunpowder to the Dawi before that date, so no, still wrong.
>>552909414>>552909803Chinkmanniibros we were supposed to be SPECIAL......not like this....
>NTR mentionedwatch out Felix
>>552909942Dark Elves are the most complete faction in the game, they don't really need an update since they're pretty much perfection already. And yeah, there are cheats that give Morathi Slaaneshi troops and all the Slaneeshi mechanics includeing seduce and stuff, as well.

>>552910184Ulthuan does seem like a better place to live than most of the other options in WHFB. I guess Dawi think living in the collapsing ruins of what they once had while losing even that to rats and green retards is the best, though.
>>552908576>Also we still haven't got any feedback on what nation or culture Skaven are based on.
>>552909975Directly contradicted, can be assumed to be a false rumor.
>>552910358Actually Jews aren't that notable in the scientific fields, they have a few but it isn't in disproportionate representation to their population level. If we look at per capita genetic representation for outstanding scientists, the Dutch are probably #1.
>>552902707Fantasy races are just racist caricatures, always have been.The original 'goblins' were just caricatures of muslims produced by the catholic church. Faefolk represented celtic tribal cultures steadily wiped out by the spread saxonized medieval societies. Orcs are directly from Tolkein and are quite literally a caricature of royalist germans. Elves are more complicated (Tolkeinization of a Norse mythological concept) but the original roots are racial (norse mythology served as a map and catalogue of people and places reachable by sea for trade) and Tolkein's version of it is also pretty explicitly racial.Behind every humanoid fantasy creature is a caricature of some race or culture. It has always been a race thing, and you couldn't ditch the racial elements without ditching all of the established conventions of fantasy races and starting from scratch, which obviously hasn't happened because the obvious racial caricatures resonate with us on some level and are compelling in a way that sentient squids or snails wouldn't ever be.
>>552910665What can be assume false is the Dawi claims and pretensions to something that was never originated by them to begin with.
>>552909803>>552909414Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay lore < The Old Wolrd Arcane Journals lore
>>552910768Orcs are Turks thoughever
The cathayans only having basic blunderbuss, rockets and cannons while dwarfs and the empire have magazine-fed repeaters and actual rifles respectively makes cathayan gun tech look kind of shit if they supposedly invented it first.

>>552911160Latin
>>552910921The guys arguing against this are just faggots who hate the very idea of Cathay and so don't want to acknowledge all the stuff they've done, no matter what it is.
>>552910921None of this says the dwarfs didn't invent their own gunpowder.
Cathayfags coping hard right now
>>552911159lollmaoTook me a second to spot it. Guess the Chorfs have competition.
>>552911342Incorrect, and several hundred years too late. Even the eastern roman empire hadn't been speaking latin for hundreds years by that time.One guess down, two to go.
>>552910137Rude
>>552911512More like Dawifags desperately trying to cling to what little shreds of relevancy they have left in the setting. Can't even develop the technology the way the Empire has, and it turns out they didn't even originate it either. Embarrassing.

>>552911927>Nobody genuinely cares about XXX besides coomers simping for the XXX lady.You're right
>>552910975Real world China invented gunpowder and used it pretty much only for pyrotechnics for hundreds of years and only for the most primitive and basic of incendiary weapons thereafter.The Mongols made several breakthroughs in weaponized gunpowder after conquering China, which they then used in their invasion of Europe, and unwittingly spread the technology to Europeans. Then in the hands of Europeans it progressed rapidly into actual practical and widespread weaponry.

>>552913315you got some sauce for that proof
>>552913315It's a self-fulfilling thing that happens all the time in WarhammerCathay has the most up to date kits (the most kits that don't look like fucking shit) so they're the most playedIt's an inverse of what happened with the Eldar in 40k. They had the oldest, most shitty kits so they were played the least and sold the worst.

>>552908576Skavens are british too, specifically freemasons with logias everywhere

>>552914928Normalfags DO artillery siege cheeseAnd lets be real, sieges are like 80% of your fights
>>552915106Ah yes because in all the irrelevant countries that don't rule anything, they're all super free and have no class divides at all. Give me a break man, your cope is pathetic, you are ruled over by Westerners and soon you will be ruled over by Chinese. Sorry not sorry if you're not one of the superior races.

>>552915312china is a gigantic paper tiger, the quality of their military "technology" is on par with their civilian construction
>>552915564Yeah sure man, it's not real, they're totally not going to start expansion into the rest of Asia within the next year, if you hold your hands over your ears and eyes, nothing will happen. Totally.
>>552915312You are ruled over by specific elites from across the world, the people rule nothing.

>>552915934raa roo
>>552915852yeah, because those countries are tissue paper, muhc like russia, theyre only good at beating up smaller countries and even then thats going to be difficult for them
>>552915134Cathay has the more dangerous rocketsHas the better cannonsBut time and time again I go to the empire for their luminarks and helblasters I don't know another faction with the niche of "artillery that can mog single entity man sized targets"
>>552910930In technical terms the Orcs represent the british ethnic concept of the "hun" The general idea was that the british saw most of Germany as being occupied by a mutt-race of settled asiatics, descended from steppe nomads like the huns and avars which raped and displaced their way into the european genome and have spent the last thousand or so years just roleplaying as a european civilization by theft and despoliation, like a racial Cuckoo in Europe's nest. They saw Prussian Militarism as being principally driven by this hun race and symptomatic of their primitive asiatic tendencies, and that pureblooded european germans were an ethnic minority mostly living along the north coast and in the shadow of the alps and were largely a subjected people to the privations of the prusso-asiatic horde.Tolkein's "Orc" originated as a depiction of this racial concept during the jingoistic fervor of the turn of the century, of which he was very much a part. He would later revise his concept of the Orc post-hoc to be more of a generalized personification of militarism after his experiences in the Great War left him disillusioned with british nationalism--but without actually changing anything about their design, characteristics or disposition that revision doesn't really divorce the concept from its racialized roots.Tolkein worked the Ottomans into his world as various orientalist human groups that allied with Sauron, like the Haradrim, Southrons and Corsairs.
>>552915564I imagine china is a lot like the skaven>Lowest echelon of millions of expendable dog shit>Random high tech here and there
>>552915870Yeah and those elites all just happen to come from Western Europe, America, and East Asia. Total coincidence.>>552916097lollmaoChina makes everything, that alone makes them the next superpower, the entire reason America became king was because of their gigantic manufacturing base, which they slowly but surely lost over the decades due to outsourcing it all, and now they can't even get enough fucking steel without China, not to mention every other important wartime resource. China is going to expand into the rest of Asia and there's shit all America or any other Western country can do about it. And that's without even going into the massive manpower and morale difference. Young men in America and Western Europe aren't even going to be willing to fight for their countries and you think they can stay the dominant power? What a joke.>>552915934Are not that powerful, magic wise, in the lore. Try to name a faction that has worse magic than them, outside of those completely without it like the Dawi.
Chinese woman have nothing on superior elven genes
uh of Chinkman meltyyy
>>552916216Cannons are the worst type of artillery in the game though because of how they're coded, so having good cannons is pretty much irrelevant.
>play 3k>throwing hordes of chinamen at eachother with no value for their lives outside of strategic value to keep more people alive for numerical superiority>get the itch to play skavenSounds like a shitpost, but I’m being straight.Also, damn, they did 3k so dirty, especially when you see all of the ‘lost tech’ it has, like formations and bannermen.Reminder, it came out around early wh2 days.
>>552916560>those completely without it like the DawiIn your defense it's not themat they don't have itIt's that practicing it turns them to stone
>>5529165601000 social credit has been added to your account
>>552916216Organ guns are pretty on par with helblasters against small and large targets.
>>552916853They really aren't>He hasn't tried the twoIf you try both, one fails to kill a charging karl on foot, barely doing any damageHelblaster can delete him almost the moment he steps in rangeOrgan gun is slightly a weird middle ground between massed units and large single entity units though
>>552916560Runic magic is the best and most stable magic of all lad
>>552916853Absolutely even more so if you give them the exploding shots rune.
>>552916216>Cathay has the more dangerous rocketsNo. Or at least, it's not black and white. Empire rockets have way more AP and faster reload times, Cathay rockets have way more shots per volley (but less shots per volley than The Sunmaker). Against a low armour target Cathay rockets are better, against a high armour target Empire rockets are better, and Sunmaker is always the best.If we're talking campaign, then nothing Cathay has comes close to Elspeth's upgraded rockets. Elspeth can increase the number of shots per volley in her factions rockets, and at that point ALL Empire rockets are just straight upgrades to Cathay rockets.
>>552916573that's a man
>>552917318Since organ guns have pierce I think they're better with homing shotBut anyone who says "organ guns and volley guns are the same" hasn't tried both at length
>>552916025>gutter OilWhat the absolute fuck is wrong with Chinamen
>>552917541>he isn't seasoning his oillmao can laowai even taste their "food"?
>>552917498Homing shots can make you miss a lot on un even terrain.So if prefer explosions. Dwarf artillery I think has best accuracy at least the regular cannon is more accurate than the empire one
Good old standard cannons, just click the big monster or cav and it does a crackin job
>>552917354I should clarify that despite its poorer range the ox-pulled nature and the doubled volume of fire Is why I like the cathayan rocketsIn an army with crane gunners and frankly better cannons (I think those cannons are slightly taller so better) I think I prefer CathayLet's not talk elspeth as that's not a fair comparison
>when you ambush the beastmen and still lose

>>552835507>I guess they'd just have to make them way more asymmetrical?I'd say that's the only real fix, bugs and pathing issues aside. Every faction should have unique siege buildables, unique defensive structures, and unique mechanics so that they each play it in a way that's appropriate for their own faction. As it is now, it's a somewhat shitty, mandatory minigame that's held together by stupid bandaids like siege attacker.
>>552920032i know exactly what you're talking about you're just too lazy to use ranged units properly
>>552919836>They do with the cheatNo you nonce they already work as I said they doOnly cheats I install are coomer mods and i still understand firing lines better than you doAll a mod like that does is make range units busted since they don't have to spread out
>>552918948Beastmen have always been modeled after the germanic tribes, being tribalistic and coming out of the darkest parts of the forests for hit and run warfare, and hating all civilization as a reference to how the romans depcited them.And if anything skaven are nazis. You have no idea how fucking often they call themselves "the master race" in the novels. Not to mention they call their best troops "stormvermin" and have crazy mad inventor Ikit Claw which admittedly could also apply to USA or the weaboo Snikch.

>everyone has heard of chrckerboarding>Empire is the most played faction >People still don't know how to checkerboard or door hingeFucking sorry state of the community
>>552922302Checkerboard reduces your range it isnt even ideal when you have an obvious superiority
>>552922302I feel like checkerboarding became much more difficult to pull off in 3, in 2 your frontline squares were like magnets for the enemy, in 3 they will always try to squeeze between the gaps or send that one super tanky hero unit that's gonna be a real pain in the ass.
>>552922041I prefer the cheat that fixes Vlad.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2854510809
>>552921379They could fix this by just giving ranged units a special command to ignore friendly fire
>>552922302Empire is 1000 times stronger when you focus on using their op ranged cavalry and war wagons instead of lining up with melee and ranged infantry anyways
>>552922487Yeah the AI in 3 is way better at targeting your ranged with flanks too, if they have cav/dogs they are 100% going to ride around the sides and ignore your checkerboarded infantry in front. Checkerboarding really doesn't work in TWW3 as a result.
>>552922487you arent checkerboarding rightbecause a checkerboard has a square behind it
>>552922436If you have an obvious superiority this is correct, checkrrboarding is a farceThat said empire melee lines are never a superiorityAnd both dwarfs and elfs benefit significantly from door hinging while chrckerboarding since they present their shields/open up the foe for rear shots
>>552921193post a pic of your army composition or you're lying
>>552922528That's part of what the cheat does, it turns off ranged caring about friendly fire.
>>552922487If they do that just extend the lineIf I have an inferior melee front line, deploying densely is for >Reducing damage>Improving mobilityGod forbid I should have to reposition and reform ranksAlso isolating single entities to wipe them out or goon squad them is a good thing for the defender
>>552922762
>>552922625I mean Black rose knights are damn good door hinges
Forget about firing bug, when are they fixing the years old siege bugs?
>>552923005that's ONE wizard, you idiot. one finger, not one hand
>>552923005There aren't five Wizards in that army.
what is door hinging
>>552923202erm actually it's two wizards.
>>552923202>>552923265thats 3 wizards, thats closer to 5 wizards than 0 wizards5 wizards
>>552923314gelt ain't no wizard. he fucks
>>552923404no way, his cock was burnt off
>>552923606he got a new golden one
Some people still haven't accepted the fact that it's not a matter of "they won't fix these bugs, when will they fix them"It's can't. They can't fix those bugs. The developers at CA are incompetent and don't know how to do it.
>>552923269its retreating in place, youre rotating a unit in a way that it exposes a unit to several new fields of fireit does rely on guard stance though so any faction reliant on shooting its enemies to death can benefit quite well

>>552925664>Or my favorite, fighting retreats where you delete as much of the enemy army before leaving with little to no losses (best used with slaanesh seduced units).this isnt even cheese, as brettonian peasants usually break too fast to incur meaningful losses
>Ai recruits multiple 20 stack armies with high tier units in a single province with zero recruitment buildingsBut Im wrong for cheesing btw.
>>552925664ask yourself "What would gork and mork do?" If they wouldnt do it then it's cheese.
Tons of bret horses.. I thought, well they AI always without fail send 2 stacks of cav to the corners, right. So I stacked some anti large there. Middle was undefended blue horrors.Except for one single cav unit, all rammed into the corners, into the anti large and died immediately... fkn retard
>>552925946yes rape is very normal in beastman herds
>>552926120who do they rape
>>552925738>playing co-opWith other members of your autist echo chamber, yes
>>552926013I mean it is pretty cheesy if you are playing slaanesh because you can can pretty much delete half the enemy army without losing any of your units with just a caster since you yoink 2-4 of their army each time.
>>552926209why do we?
>>552926037>implying this is the first and only strategy game to give "difficult" ai production and resource cheatsjust play with real people if youve got a problem, but i challenge you to find a single game that doesnt let its AI cheat
>>552926265we do?

>>552926084I love blue and pink horrors
>>552926209Supple young men
>>552926380I luv the pink ones, hate the blue ones. Currently replacing em with marauders.They just can't hold a line ever.
>>552926293My issue isnt that the AI cheats.My issue is that the AI cheats so hard it invalidates 99% of the mechanics of the game other than just speed blitzing with my doomstack
>>552926240yeah but i dont know why you would do that as slaanesh anyways since theyre practically cheesy on the grounds that they get to pick their moment of attack due to their mobility>>552926235ok well at least im not uninformed like yourselfand have friends i play withmuch also unlike yourself lmao
>>552925220this isn't khazrak. that's just some gay twink
>>552926479im sort of in agreeance with you>AI ignores attrition>game borderline forces you to rush replen+ heroes, and armies with non-replen heroes are all annoying to playthe only solace moving forward seems to be that all games should have pharaoh's campaign tuning
>>552926478but they're SO COOL. Also why do some of the pink horrors have tyranid shell on their ghost ahoge?
>>552926508Slaanesh struggles pretty hard against elite lategame AI multi-doomstacks since you can no longer outnumber and flank the enemy. And they don't really have campaign mobility over others. Its more that you can literally just use an immortal caster lord shitstack and shitty garrisons to constantly full delete units from enemy armies. Its so cancerous that a lot of people against AI slaanesh counter-cheese by spam retreat/initiate attacks until the AI stops seducing their units.
>>552926738they are colorful and fancy but sadly just not good. They are just fodder.I dunno why they look how they look.. I'm no lore expert.
>>552899048>>552899362Tomb kangz are where the Empire was before their DLC. Totally left in the dust from progressive popwercreep. Even clan Skryre feels balanced compared to WH3 races. and they were comically OP on launch back in game 2

>>552928212too weak armies
>>552928212Diplomacy with settlement trading and spam sacking their enemy early can net you a defensive alliance pretty damn quick.
>>552928348>settlement tradingthats cheating
>>552927274I like fodder. It's funny when they get ff'd
>>552928212you need to lash out in one direction, then the otherspend your wealth to get a big fat mean stack you know can sack the shit out of a faction to accrue wealththat way if you do fuck up you can go all refugee mode until you find some place to re-settle down
>>552928441I mean what else are you going to do with territory that's unsuitable for your faction
>>552928289>>552928476but I can't even last long enough to have an army of good units, its just spearmen
>>552928116Me after I make first contact with that specific eldar.
>>552928064Probably.. but by the time I have the scribes, which needs a T4 settlement, I just recruit some chaos warriors and chosen.
>>552928568if your LL/lead army stack has "just spearmen" 20 turns into the game you need to stop being a fuckin jew and recruiting some god damn darkshards
>>552928568You aren't supposed to full stack spearmanii, they are just universally good chaff for pinning targets for archery/gunnery. If you need to actually win melee engagements you might as well use swordsmanii
>>552927905>It’s debatable if such a feature will do anything to change the rather underwhelming reputation Total War: Pharaoh has. Since launch, it’s been criticized for reportedly going backwards from games like Total War Saga: Troy.kek it's so funny how in an article hyping up the AIslop being pushed in games the AI writing the article itself fucks up this badly
>>552928731Blue horrors are still decent sacrificial chaff with scribes so your elite chosen/warriors don't eat as much losses. I think because they are a hybrid unit still the AI prefers to cav charge them over chaos warriors and hit them with range, sadly artillery seems to always be magnetized to chosen since they are such high power.

>>552935493The single entities are pretty mid, not terrible but not impressive either, just generally weak ranged performance in exchange for requiring very little micro and not being countered by melee, but still countered by being outshot (like all lizardman dinos). The packs are very powerful though, but super vulnerable to ranged fire. Probably one of the best ranged cav style units for flanking, beaten by empire grenade launchers vs inf though.

>>552916560>Try to name a faction that has worse magic than them, outside of those completely without it like the Dawi.Greenskins. Beastmen (like most chaos factions) actually have rather good magic.But that's not the point. The point is that magic is and should be independant when measuring a factions technology level. Nobody is thinking tech when thinking about spells or fireballs. Tech as in steam tanks, muskets, cannons is more appropriateAnd the "The industrial revolution has been a disaster for all mankind" wood elves are not "high tech"
