Never give up! Your favourite faction is gonna make it!
WHEN, ca?
>>553974021>my favorite faction isn't even popular enough to join the never give up clubit hurts...
How would you go about doing Bretonnia Peasant only?
>>553974194Embrace the Virtue of Empathy, my friend.
>>553974184Who? I thought the image had every faction? Even all the super obscure ones
>>553974194It's possible but not all that fun. Just abuse the lack of supply lines and have 40-60 units for every battle.
>>553974564>I thought the image had every faction? Even all the super obscure onesSome that come to mind:AlbionGnomesSouthland HumansMalal and the other minor Gods of ChaosThe Gods of OrderNon-vampire pirates like the Golden Magus (Aranessa could count for this if they didn't shoehorn her into VCoast.)There's probably some faction out there that's even more obscure than any of those that has at least one person in these threads holding out hope

all this 40k art featuring girls when the game will have absolutely zero females in it
Is there a more useless unit than sky lantern? Tier 4 unit that has less damage output than peasant bowmen.
>>553976474bro what
>>553972396>>553950109Source ? Finding nothing by looking at the latest Soboro.
>>553976397Modern AAA slop games are already hitting over 12 gigs with settings. 16gb is the minimum you'll need and Nvidia just discontinued their 16gb cards.This is the new PC gaming dark ages, shits gonna be bad like the early/mid 2000s again.
>>553976990There's possibilities of female Guard commanders and it appears Eldar already have Banshees and female Autarchs confirmed at the least.Eldar may even get Jain Zar as a Legendary Lord, or at least Legendary Hero depending in how they handle Phoenix Lords.
>>553977201>>553976990There is an african american woman of color in the game don't worry friends.
>>553977257>Generic Imperial Guard leadersProbably going to be one of the funniest parts of the game. All three other faction have leaders who can go toe to toe with entire squads of infantry, meanwhile IG get stuck with either Castellans or Command Squads who get blown apart by a light breeze.
>>553976397you're ok, just don't play on meme settings

Honest thoughts on dawi?
>>553981292What can they do for me?
>>553980524>>553980751This feels like more like a good timeline than end times desu
>>553977939DLSS eats up VRAM. There's a good video demonstrating that trying to use DLSS on the newest Doom game on the -60 RTX cards actually lowers your fps since you hit insufficient VRAM kek
Say what you want about 40k, I'm personally just glad we didn't get an Age of Sigmar game. I'm surprised GW didn't insist on it to try and force that awful setting some more.
>>553981328keep humankind alive for thousands of years?
>>553981969After playing Age of Wonders 4 I'm perfectly fine with many small world campaigns creating a continuous narrative. And AoS unit models are peak.
>>553979324>Beastmemes not so meme anymoreRa-Roo!
>>553981292I don't like playing as them Though I do like playing Chorfs but the Dawi are still really cool aesthetically and in stories so I appreciate them.
>>553981969Age of Sigmar isn't nearly popular enough for GW to insist on anything
COLD KEKOLD KILLAZ
>>553982929VGH.... VVE MUST BE BETTER DRUCHII
>>553981969>GW axed Fantasy to push Sigmarines only for everyone to hate it and now everyone wants to play Fantasy instead thanks to Vermintide and Total War bringing it back to popularity to the point GW even brought back the old world and is making updated models for the tabletopSo when will Age of Shitmar get the axe?
>>553983173Never, because it actually sells more models than 40k let alone fantasy.
>>553983173Age of Sigmar actually sells pretty well, it appeals to nu age lefties that dont like sci fi but hate being attached to problematic fantasy like warhammer that apes the real world. Dont expect it to get axed any time soonAnd Old World is doing so well GW was even willing to axe Age of Sigmar armies to send to Old World>>553983374>more than 40kLol
>>553978108>Sisters of Battle are an entire factionSisters of Battle are a subfaction of the Imperium faction
>>553983374hahagood one, anon
>>553983374>Never, because it actually sells more models than 40kAnon, your hook is supposed to actually have bait on it.
>>553981969The last time they made an AoS game it didn't even break 5k players, and that was supposed to be the big major break out game. AoS is an unfunny joke that shouldn't exist.
:D
>>553983629Age of Sigmars one point going for it is that due to it being new, GW modelers get to make very cool designsunfortunately the setting is pure ass
>>553981328Help you through dangerous mountain passes while you escape from a cataclysmic greenskin horde.Teach you how to make everything from bronze to steel.Teach you how to make guns and gunpowder.Give you legendary magical weapons and life long oaths of friendship in return for fighting by their side.Work for you as smiths that can craft armor and weapons far beyond what human hands can make.Construct fortifications of unparalleled defensiveness.Trade you various wares of unrivaled craftsdwarfship, from jewellery to wooden toys to prosthetics.Help you against specific people just because those guys pissed them off one time 300 years ago.Spare troops to help you defend your lands during the literal end of the world.The empire exists because the high king gave sigmar ghal maraz(which also resulted in the world not being conquered by nagash when he beat up that guy with ghal maraz).
>Non player controlled characters will no longer show their movement points bar.who asked for this?
>>553983808You gotta remember anon that this is a model for a Tabletop War GameYou need to transport this from your home to a game store without it getting damaged. You need to find a way to store it without it getting damaged. You may very well have to do that for multiple of this model.For a figure to put up on a shelf it's great but it's a terrible game piece, and it's not even nearly the worst example GW have shat out.
>>553981292I appreciate short, sturdy creatures fond of drink and industry.
>>553983537>>553983587>>553983476It's true. AoS models sell so well GW is pumping a neverending stream of new highest quality models that completely mog 40K stuff which doesn't get even half as many new models. AoS is top GW moneymaker surpassing 40K in plastic sales.
>>553981292Need to do a slayer campaign once I get done with gotrek and felix.
Deithland campaign or the new Iron Orc campaign? Need something to burn a few hours and produce some kino battles
>>553983173I just wish they'd split the end times timeline and had the old world be a fork where the end times failed but you had Vlad as the main VC character instead of the bald dickhead
is dechala supposed to just have permanent negative control that you have to keep throwing thralls at
how many black orc big bosses should I put in Grimgor's army? They seem like good heroes, but I'm sure I don't want them to take up too much space

>>55398563219
>>553981292In my top 3, I really like their roster, all of their units are cool and can be usedConceptually, the book of grudges might be the funniest thing in the warhammer universe
>>553985632One black orc and a shaman, or you can just go overkill and give him 19 black orcs to make him impossible to defeat
>>553984158sure but anyone who is autistic enough to >Spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on highlariously overpriced miniatures>assemble them themselves>paint them all themselveswill probably invest a few bucks into a luggage case or something similar designed for the purpose of toting them around
>>553985632Zero. Give Grimgor his River Troll Hag wife. Big Bosses are for armies led by goblin or orc shamans to serve as a duelist.
>>553983808For every hit there's one thats equally a giant piece of shit.
>>553985796Lmao
>>553985797Model carrying cases generally come in 2 forms: foam cases and magnet cases.Foam cases are terrible for transporting AoS models because they're cumbersome and because all the little details the designers love including are liable to get stuck in the foam and snap off when you try to move them.Magnet cases require you to buy magnets to glue onto the model's base and generally aren't big enough to hold more than one fuckhuge AoS model because if you make them too big they become too heavy.And keep in mind one of these models is a 4th of a full army at most. You still have all your other shit to transport.
What's a fun order campaign? I feel like I only play a chaos faction or greenskins
>>553985796Age of Sigmar was 30% of GW sales 8 years ago. Now it mogs 40k in terms of plastic sales. You are out of the loop entirely.

If im looking to add field guns to an army, like organ guns or helblaster volleys, I know they are artillery, but would I add them in substitution for ranged units or would they take up my usual artillery slots? I guess the lower range has me scratching my head a bit
>>553989435Yes, only a schizo would deny facts documented in financial reports for almost a decade. The fact that you do not immediately recognize these numbers instantly outs you as someone who is utterly uninformed.

Medieval 3 and possibly Warhammer 40k will have unit kill animations again for infantry thanks to Pharaoh bringing it back. Now all they gotta do is add back naval combat and agent animations and we're good.
Which horde faction had better mechanics? The Amazons from Troy or Sea Peoples from Pharaoh?

>>553992653I refuse to believe that shit. Even Beastmen are a better horde faction than Nakai.
>>553994352Just want to point out that the 40k version of the Asur (at least in aesthetics) have Khaine as their most dominant deity.
>>553994352I want a woman who's nice to me However I do find myself tempted by the prospect of another life. Here I am a young lady (of legal age, of course), and an older, sadistic woman takes advantage of my poor mental health to abuse me and make me utterly dependent on her.
>>553994329Agreed, banners would be a great addition, but probably a cheats thing for the foreseeable future.
Great Book of Grudges made his yearly January video claiming this is Boris Todbringer's year to finally make it in the game. How delusional is this guy? Especially since he said that Boris would not be FLC because there won't be 2 FLC for End Times DLC yet later in the video he said Valten would be a second FLC LL? Wtf?
>>553994732

>>553995650Hot

I'd rather do it with Tyranids instead of Eldar
man its hard to describe how painful it is to watch secondaries roast aos for all the wrong reasons. Just shit on the double turn or something, make it believable.

>>553996312I do not give a shit about your nonbinary sigmarine tabletop game.
>>553996394Made for sitting on a squire's face
>>553996312Secondary here, using my eyes should be a believable reason for hating on AoS.To be fair, I do like all the undead factions (except bonereapers)
what do you listen to while playing total war
>>553996312I play war games and actually have been to my lgsNobody plays this shit game outside of the most casual of casual garragehammer because the models are overdesigned trash that are a nightmare to transport and move around a table.

>>553972396kek his expression is perfect
>>553983476Fun factoid: making a peace sign-style “V” with your fingers is considered to be a Sigmarite gesture, as it emulates the form of the twin-tailed comet.So if anyone was to make fanart of Miao getting dicked by Franz, Sigmar, or any other imperial man (aside from Todbringer or other Ulricans), having her do a double-peace sign ahegao would be thematically appropriate in the context of the Warhammer world.
>>554003157ADRIANNA HELP MEEEE

Mod to replace all cringe IoM factions with space Cathay when
>>554013934Eh.. not really the biggest fan of em. Just not the type of factions I enjoy. I like pile of violence.
>>554014825But thats what Greenskins are...
>>554015091I find they optimal playstyle involves ranged units and or cav. Like.. with Skarbrand I turn 1 just shit out bloodletter and go rape right. Greenskins can't quite do that. They don't have like.. turn 1 black orc recruits globally so I run around with some archers and artillery pieces and whatnot.
Love using dem blue friends to win the battle for me.
>>554015171you just mob them with boys or biguns or whatever you have
>>554015418Not really good units.. I like em brutal.And like, when I click my Skarbrand I get>I AM VIOLENCEWhen I click orcs..>hurr we stupid
tzeentch is the coolest chaos god out of the big 4 and it isn't even close
>>554015959
Is the Kislev prologue really necessary I'm bored of this army I want to be a monster army, at the maze of illusions mission o algo
>>554014764So they aren't even attempting spaceship battles? What makes this new game so special so far it seems like a barebones Total War to me
>>554016113>Is the Kislev prologue really necessary no, just don't play it
>>554016113if you arent a complete retard there is no reason to do the tutorial campaign
>>554015959Tzeentch is my fav as well but there is an appeal to Khorne and how simple he is. I also like his older lore where he had some honour to him. Nurgle I don't like much but I understand the appeal in being a stinky rotting fuck. But Slaanesh I just can't like.
>>554016113the prologue is just there to handhold you if you've never played a total war game periodjust jump into immortal empires and pick the faction you find coolest
>>554016113not obligatory but I find it to be an excellent tutorial
>>554016113It's great if you're new to TW, and the story is genuinely great.
>>554017402In my mind Khorne is Japanese.
;_;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_nZeKM8jII
>>554016113Played since 2000, Shogun 1.I have not played a tutorial since then. Not because I am a 'legend' of total war - but because they all pretty much play the same once you understand the basic functions of the game.If you feel like you understand go play a faction you like the look of. If you lose it...oh well. Only mpfags have hysterical meltdowns because their cheese comp lost to someone elses.
Can I get some Cathay tips? I'm tried to get out of my old world safe zone and tried Miao Ying on very hard. Got distracted by chaos destroying the great bastion and the rats got huge and wiped me with 5 stacks while I had 1 and a half.Also does one go about their growth? +10 for tier one buildings is kinda pathetic. Am I supposed to be Yinmaxxing and hope I don't need to recruit a big army?
the kislev horse archers are actually pretty good, especially with the +8 anti infantry range bonus technology
>>554018523>I'm tried to get out I tried*guess I am tired.
>>554018523Rats should be your number 1 priority immediately after wiping out the rebels. Fuck the bastion, but you can try to keep the AI faction alive by helping them in the war if you can afford a decent army for it but they'll most likely die. Confederate them before that happens but you'll have to deal with Vilitch and Zhatan if you do.Zhatan can actually be bought off and even made an ally. Rush to confederate the guardian faction before they lose the settlement in the chaos wastes. Gift it to Zhatan for good diplo relations and pacts and even an alliance, and/or make him join the war against Vilitch (which imo is more important). Letting him wipe out the twisty twin will make him stronger against Grimgor, who will also distract him away from you. So he unironically makes for a good ally. I haven't experienced him backstabbing you unless you piss him off.As for growing, I don't have many tips there but economy should be easy for you. Just keep sending convoys out there and you'll make insane bank. You should always have as many armies as possible without crashing your economy in 5 turns.
>>554018523You need to rush a tier 2 barracks to get jade warriors + crossbows army. And you need 2 full stacks of them. Go yin(or yang i dont remember) to get that local recruit slot + rank bonus on your initial province. Fill Meows army with jade warriors, have her start conquering. You shouldnt be on the red(income) as long as you end Meow's turn on a balanced province (to get 20% upkeep reduc).One you have 2 full stacks, Completely focus on bastions. Doesnt even matter if you lose your capital. You have to get the bastions to be able to defend themselves. Focus on growth there. Get them to tier 3, build the stables on one of them to get some jade knights, they annihilate skaven and pretty good against DEs. Once the bastions are self sufficient, reconquer Cathay.
>>554018523>Can I get some Cathay tips?Playing vanilla Cathay when most modders are Chinese is like jacking off with a condom on. Embrace the narrative wuxia slopmods.
>>554019769retard
>>554016210>So they aren't even attempting naval battles that nobody cares about?FTFY
>>554019409I tried that one Cathay story mod, it said it'll let me confederate the Imperial Wardens and Loyalists by event, but it's been 30 turns and nothing. I already wiped the Kurgan story fights, I think it shat itself.
I hate how much I like these steampunk space marines
>>554018523Hm.. Meow gameplay.. haven't played her in a long time but it should still be the same. You battle your starting foe, you leave the bastion to rot, you go into the mountains and farm money from Snikch by declaring war on orks for him.. cleanse those.. then you cleanse snikch.. then Lokhir comes in so you rape him.. You can station a Shugengan with 5 units at the bastion incase Vilitch decides to be a nigger faggot. A Shugengan + 5 are always enough to defend an AI controlled bastion. And like.. Meow just carries the whole fucking thing. Your main army can't lose. You got Meow.
>>554020636Miao dragon forme flip flops between soloing an entire Khornate army to melting if she doesn't beeline to three regiments of archers.
>>554020624They're more dieselpunk than steampunk.
>>554020928Not really.. you just send her straight in there to fucking murder. They clump around her, you let her do her thing while the artillery balloon murders the clump around her. When she starts getting shot, transform to human. She heals herself, takes no damage, artillery still murders.The woman has some.. 15k hp I think. And she's a mage. Clump and destroy.
>>554019259>>554019181>>554020636Thanks dudes. Round 2 should be better with this info.
>>554021213Oh yeah..Your very first ever caravan.. to silvania.. cause Meow can't heal herself. That item you get from the vamps is a must.
hiding is worthless if the fucking ai still ((mysteriously)) beam toward the forest
What am I supposed to do when I play Kislev? Cleanse Norsca?
>>554021325usually yes. As katarin it's the first norca faction then either Azaag to buy Ironfist's loyalty or straight for Thrott. usually Praag holds out the yellow norscan dude
>>554021325you are Russia, so expand into Central Asia and Siberia (the Dark Lands n' eastern Chaos Wastes)
>>554021325Dark Kislev challenge run. You have been corrupted by Belakor and must declare war on The Empire.
>>554021267Is the vampire sword guaranteed every time I trade with Carsteins?
>>554021539Yes.And it has regen, that's why you MUST always target sylvania first so Meow has regen.
>>554021529Where is the subtle Slaanesh corrupted Katarin remodel mod when you need it...
>>554021278what did you expect?they'll march at you in a straight line as long as they can because that prevents their units colliding into eachotheronce they start engaging their line will collapse inyou have to disrupt them a bit at least, or have your formation further away from your hidden unitsand turn off those unit cards they sap framerate
>>554021529>Get raped from behind by all those chaos shitters anyway.
>>554021675on LoversLab? is that a trick question?
>>554021704i give the campaign up anyway. Am slowly going for my first province and there was a rebellion at my first settlement. I hate this faction save for the ice magic lore
>>554021731hot
>>554021704Sorry not unit cards, that's the wrong term.Unit info panel element, the large paper panel on the left of the screen.Leaving it on will drain framerates from your system, especially with heroes and lords who have a lot of buffs and items in play.
How do I Ostankya, choosing to go to Kislev is hard.
>>553983079*UUE
I love watching Skarbrand from behind while he charges.
>>553982929Did the writer think that druchii are drow or something?
playing a kislev campaign and first went and killed azag and drycha (and killed them pretty damn quickly) however by turn like 15 all the other kislev factions were killed and a bit later malakai also died. I now have all of kislev after eventually beating thrott who was rank 1 but now I have no buffer against norsca and the chaos wankers.was I meant to rush north to kill thrott straight away instead?
>>554022105ugh so tight
how exactly am I supposed to play makaisson?Do I build up his starting city or do I go all in with the skyship? And do i expand north to support Ursun or do I go east to kill Thrugg? he became a big problem the last time I tried out Makaisson's campaign.
>>554022643>Do I build up his starting city or do I go all in with the skyship? Yes>And do i expand north to support Ursun or do I go east to kill Thrugg?Yes
>>554022459>deletedwhat, did you come up with a suitable role for them yourself? they have advantages, but it's niche.
>>554022305You're usually better off consolidating Kislev because their single city provinced have godawful growth so every turn counts.
>>554023053I found they have two growth buidling so I didn't feel slow
vgh....
>>554024498this nigga invading superflat
I've long accepted that we'll never get Nippon.It still hurts, though.And it's still kinda weird that Dogs of War got axed, probably by the spaghetti code more than anything.
>>554024997>spaghetti codeit can't be a tech issue cause they're literally just an ogre camp. just make some units and put some camps and that's it, no?
>>554025079How dare you.Italy is so much more than mere camps filled with ogres.So, so much more.
>>554025079>it can't be a tech issueAdding slaanesh, norscan, and high elf units somehow added like 8 different game-ruining bugs to Kairos.Let that sink in.
>>554024997Dogs of war have been in for years.
>>554025158>ItalyIsn't that Tilea? It's not exactly synonymous with the mercenaries, even if they do have a bunch of them. You just want fleshed out Border Princes.>>554025261grim
>>553973131I got your back, /twg/
>>554025386The units are in but not in a single faction. I want ALL my toys in ONE toybox. And TCALUK better CATER to ME because I'm one of the few people STILL playing the DAEMON PRINCE regularly.
>>554025608Imagine making a killing playing vidya and you decide to throw it all away.Fucking 5iq retard.
>>554025608Bastard.
>>554025747A faction that does nothing but recruit rors sounds fucking awful.Just play golgfag man.. he is what dogs should be. Just port around and murder.
>>553997380The game soundtrack as this is part of the the Devs vision. Listening to something else is just using cheats with extra steps
Meow Ying having two thousand Jade Warriors run a train on her as reward for a successful defence of the Bastion...
>>554026253That's bot how sex works you retard
I like to think the Dragon Blooded come out as eggs.
>>554026295She has Perfect Vigour thoughbeit
>>554022105Skarbrand looks like THAT?
>>554025158Limitless potential.
But what is Skarbrand's economic policy?
>>554025608https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLVim0vTEkE
>>554027061Every entity with a skull pays all of their skulls in tax, including those attached to their body.Those in the military are exempt until the moment of death.
>>554027061Why doesn't Khorne take tax in regular blood donations from well fed citizens, and sustainably farm hydras for skulls? Is he stupid?
>>554027496Every single chaos god wants everything immediately right fucking now as much as possible. They quite literally would starve themselves to death if they had their way, and Archaon is specifically using that against them.
>>554025261>Add units to other factions>Kairos' spell fragment granting a new spell stops working (and just one of them, not all of them)There's more spaghetti in CA's code than in entire Italy by now.
>doing Norsca things>Juan shows up at level 4 and starts channeling in the middle of my territory>check back on him after 2 turns>he's now level 7 without seemingly having done anythingaieee he's cultivating
>>554022643An "easy" solution would be to migrate south to avoid being gangbanged by 10000 Chaos factions. Another option is holding your capital with as big a stack as you can afford while slightly less Chaos factions dogpile on you. The minmax (but difficult) option is taking out Throt and Azazel, allowing Kislev to grow in size and hopefully start invading Chaos Wastes. This largely secures your southern front, gives you 3 capitals (+couple minor settlements) for economic base and lets you defend Chaos factions from west through bottleneck guarded by Capital (Tower of Khrakk) and from the North/East by your capital/Frozen Landing. Then you just send Malakai on his adventures, supplementing your income through battle loot.
>>554022105Fun fact; Skarbrand was once in a doujin, one completely unrelated to Warhammer.
>>554030137lmao. was a kill type of demon, or a rape type? considering it's a doujin I doubt it was lore adherent.
>>554030281From what I can tell, >Ugly bastard attempts to rape loli>Loli turns out to be crazy shapeshifting flesh demon>Loli proceed to torture ugly bastard to death>At one point she transforms into Skarbrand because lmao
>>554030281Okay I read it. It was just some sort of shapeshifting anime girl killing a rapist.
>luv me Empire lads, send them trade deals and help them in wars, get sad if I'm playing in Lustria or Cathay and discover that they got wiped>the only thing I anticipate from TW40K is wiping out imperiumkeks and muhreens like the rats they areWhat explains this dichotomy?
>>554030763The Empire in Fantasy is a mostly upstanding Human society that has faults but is not in itself evil, and is on such a scale that when there is a radical it's fairly contained.The Imperium is legitimately evil. Perhaps not as evil as Chaos, but still evil, and attempts to sanitize that are often shite.
>>554030763Hatred for GW.End Times was chaos wank so you favor their enemy. 40k is marine wank so you favor their enemy.As shrimple as that.
i miss legend bros
why are space marines and imperial guard separate factions in the 40k game? arent they both working for the same guy
>>554031569because they're separate factions on table top and ideally have entirely different management styles and because the imperium is intentionally designed with factional separation of branches/powers to prevent another horus heresy from ever happening
>>554031569Wank.Not counting marine chapters, Imperium gets like 5 tabletop factions just for themselves. Including shit like Imperial Agents which makes you wonder why the fuck that's a faction.
>>554031569thats like saying the marines and the army are the same
>>554031865still no exodite army btw
>>554031569Guard are loyal to their planet. Marines are loyal to their chapter. Sometimes the planet and chapter have the same goals but not always
>>554032119>Guard are loyal to their planet.Nope, that's the PDF because of course they copied that as well, those are the conscripts loyal to the planet's governor only. Guardsmen are explicitly a tribute to the Imperium and are moved wherever the fuck the higher command wants.
>>553997692Corny ass millennial slop
>>554032119>planetno, that's planetary defense forces. the guardsmen will most likely never see their homeworld again after getting conscripted.
i like the guard cause they are just guys
>>554032384Sir stop right there, I'll have you know using such GWphobic language is highly discouraged here. Please refer to the Astra Militarum™ by their official title.
>>554031865Not counting Subfactions, the Imperiun has>Space Marines>Imperial Guard>Sisters of Battle>Adeptus Mechanicus>Imperial Knights>Grey Knights>Adeptus Custodes>Imperial AgentsIt's actually kind depressing that the Imperial factions outnumber both Chaos and Xenos
>>553997380right wing podcasts about immigration
Word on the street is Legend is thinking of coming out of retirement
>>554033183And don't forget 30k shit!
I prefer Greenskins to the Orks in 40k
>>554034561Their tech is funnier, but snotlings are a huge downgrade from gobs.
i need 40k games to play to get familiar with the universe by the time it comes out. i bought dawn of war definitive edition because I like traditional RTS, but what else will get me into it
>>554034972Rogue Trader
>>554035169It's a decent lore introduction but it sucks ass as a game and the "moral choices" are all retarded contrived bullshit.
>>554034972dawn of war 2 is also good. Aged really well imo.
>>554034972Darktide is good nowadaysMechanicusRogue TraderBoltgun is funI liked Chaos Gate, tis like XCOM if you are into those at all
>>554035169>>554035364>>554035383Thanks, will look into these
>Nagash trailer features Vlad making out with some dudeVon Carstein bros...
>>553987373>Devs add naval battles Absolutely fictitious
>>554034972DoW is a big oneDoW2 is also quite good, and isn't super connected to DoW1.Rogue Trader is an odd one that gets some things wrong or skewed, but is generally pretty goodSpace Marine and Space Marine 2 are not games I would recommend for learning about the setting, or honestly in general if you have any interest in stories within games.ChaosnGate: Daemonhunters is a decent budget game, though it focuses on Grey Knights, the Inquisition, and Death Guard, all of whom likely aren't coming any time early for TW40K.Battlefleet Gothic Armada (and 2) both arecdecent games with fairly up-to-date poubts, though they do somewhat bend the narrative a bitMechanicus is a deservedly praised strategy game that focuses on AdMech and Necrons, and does so pretty well.Gladius is, more or less, 40k Civ. It's got a shiti ton of DLC, some odd writing that sometimes isn't accurate, and is pretty much a budget title.Battlesector is just turn-based army smashing; not much to learn but it looks neat to have the armies shoot at each other. Also has a ton of DLC.If you want xenos-focused titles you're not in for much.Eldar have Rites of War, which is old, janky, and a bit out of date. They are prominent in several other games though, notably the Dawn of War and Battlefleet Gothic games.Tau have Fire Warrior, which is ALSO old, janky, and a bit out of date.Orks have a few options, though Blood, Shootas, n Teef is probably to most 'concise'. It's basically a sidescroller flash game you can beat in single sitting.Necrons have no games for their PoV, but Mechanicus 2 is coming relatively soon and will have a Necron campaign.Dark Eldar have practically nothing, but feature prominently in Rogue Trader.
>>554034972Gladius, it's frequently on sale for like 2 dollars.Also both Battlefleet Gothic Armada games, which are apparently both on sale for a few dollars right now.
>>554035660Where was Isabella?
>>554036165>Necrons have no games for their PoVThere's actually a Necron campaign in Gothic Armada 2 where they cackle like saturday morning cartoon villains. It's great.
>>554036301Watching from the cuck tower
>>554036427Robogors raa roo
>>554036406>There's actually a Necron campaign in Gothic Armada 2Shit yeah forgot about that, Nids had one too. The Chaos one being DLC is ALMOST worth it since it's Word Bearers.
>>554036427>halberd robots have explosive fuck you rounds and huge melee damage>virgin shield robots have a bit more defense and are over all worse>friendly empire AI keeps hiring the shield variantsthen again I think they have a better AR value or something

>>554037942idk how people actually defend dow 2, i want to try the eternal mod to make it actually good
I looked up Gothic Armada 2 on Steam and the recent reviews are "Mixed" due to it crashing constantly or just not working on modern PCs. Are these people wrong
>>554038117Anon, plz.
>>554038275The beta hot"fix" indeed did introduce a cavalcade of worse bugs. Fucking spagetti code...
>>554038239Not, wrong. In my case that's because the Easy Anti Cheat. You can disable it but just quick save at every battle.
to be honest, 40k is too woke for me. I prefer Fantasy and will not be getting 40k TW
Ok fuck this campaign. First Snikch backstabbed me for no reason other than "lolrat". Then Zhao decided I need a boot up my ass joined by Gelt, while I was killing their enemies. And now Vilitch joined the fuckfest because apparently he is a rat fucker. Without teleport, my entire north coast is FUCKED. All I wanted was to secure the coast and go to Ulthuan. But Cathay turned out to be me vs everyone else bloodbowl.
>>554037812>>554037650>>554036427I am now left wanting for a war game universe where this is the theme.
>>554038714Owned!
>>554037185It really does look like dawn of war 2, huh.Kinda neat.
>>554039186It really wouldnt have been issue except Dark elves dont have encampment stance. So 0 replenishment unless you can get an ark within range which is not always possible. And you are ALWAYS getting ambushed. I never really grasped how hard Snikch hard counters dark elves until now.
Wasn't Meow's campaign supposed to be harder? I had no problems with her, Zhao and Gelt conquered and secured the south while I could focus on the north and east.Meanwhile playing Zhao Ming I get fucked from all sides, Sayl and Vilitch overran Miao within like 10-15 turns, Dechala fucked up Gelt and the red Chaos Dwarf fag wrecked Greasus.I'm surrounded by enemies because all good/neutral factions faltered within 10-20 turns. Dunno if I can even win this campaign
>>554038148Because it's genuinely a good game. DoW1 was my introduction to 40k and i loved it, but base building in that game is actual trash. It's a glorified tech tree. DoW2 plays better, looks better, sounds better, feels better. If I want to build bases I'll play SupCom.
>>554039876why is everyone playing Cathay now
>>554039876Zhao is more simple. If you take the wall and hold it and the western chokepoint Meow aint hard. With Meow you really have to use what you have, but if you do its not hard. Greasus losing to Draz is just straight bad luck.
>>554014691What cheat?
>>554040164Dawn of war 2 is a sequel only in name. The first game was classic RTS, the second game is a midway point between MOBA and RTS.
>>554037185>the guardsmen aren't even shooting lasers in the trailer for fuck's sakeAnd they never will. GW said no. 20 years of consistent lasers is not good enough. The reason? Some old art work from the 1900s.
>>554040406it's not a moba but it's more tactical, for sure. Still counts as RTS. If you actually play it you'll see it's an extremely well made game. It's full of soul.
>>554040356>Greasus losing to Draz is just straight bad luck.Ah damn... Maybe I can pull through, it's fun nonetheless although I typically hate losing>>554040350Dunno about everyone but they're one of my comfort factions.I also love playing High Elves, WoC and the different Chaos God factions
is wh3 one of those steam games where it doesn't award achievements offline
>Avelorn is objectively the best faction to unite Ulthuan with>I find the everqueen incredibly boringwhat now
>>554016210>2 million people wished for it so it must be good >>554019974>People want thing that I don't like they do not exist. Everyone wants the same thing as me
>>554040871Didn't CA themselves say that basically no one played naval battles so they scrapped them?
>>554016210>spaceship battles?It'd need to be 3D and that wouldn't work well
>>554040629I did play it.It's a horrible sequel because it's not an improvement upon the first game, it's a completely game that belongs in a different genre.
>>554041092>It'd need to be 3DBattlefleet gothic says it doesn't.
Beat my first campaign yesterday, I was blogposting about playing cathay and shit a few days priorFunny how you click on belakor at the end with crane gunners and your hero and he dies then it ends160 turns was a sloooog but the chaos realm battles were fun
>>554041270Oh yeah also the cathay roster fucking blowsCelestial dragons are just better than everything else you have I hated thatEvery unit besides cavalry and terracotta boys felt kinda worthless after getting thoseI loved grenadiers and ironhail gunners, wished I got more of that...
>>554041431>Every unit besides cavalry and terracotta boys felt kinda worthless after getting thoseProbably why it felt like a slog honestly, I just had a bunch of armies with all the same shit and they're just the jade warriors from 50 turns ago but better stattedBlechI came around to ogre mercenaries they made my main army more interesting
>>554041431Same, I want more gunpowder units for Cathay...But also Tigermen that are carbon copies of Skin Wolves, God I love Skin Wolves!
>>554041431Cathay is the modbeast faction.Tigermen, RoRs, gunpowder units, heavenly kings, go nuts.

>>554043976fund it
Alright, now this is fucking epic
>>554044045It's a really simple unit roster but it actually plays a lot faster than most total war titles because it has some of the most lethal combat in total war and siege equipment isn't even a thing.Medieval 2 would probably be the best starting point for total war as a series but if you insist on a more modern title I would suggest total war warhammer 3.

Imperial guard shouldn't have been a starting faction, and I say this as someone who likes the Imperial guard.Should have been nids so you have three truly different factions
>>554045626Beastmen and rogue armies and probably some other hooligans I'm forgetting about can randomly spawn in your territory and hostile armies love to spend 50 turns marching across the world to just suicide dive your nation so you should always build walls in literally every settlement you have. But if you do build walls your armies can be more proactive.
>>554046205Imperial Guard HAD to be a starting faction, what the fuck else are you gonna populate the myriad imperial worlds with??
>>554045703I always like the chaos wastes just because I like all the flying rocks in the sky box.
>>554046276>building walls, everLol, lmao even.
>>554046413They haven't really solved that though since spess mahreens and imps are still separate factions. You can hand wave it as being staffed by chapter serfs.

>>554046559You have no idea how 40k operates.>>554046604Having every single planet in the campaign be exodites would be kinda weird though, even if it's placeholder.

what the FUCK are beastposters gonna do in 40k
>>554046106No. AoS's problem is their roster. When it first launched GW essentially tried to shotgun blast new factions into the game to try and drive sales. This, naturally, had a myriad of problems;>Model sculptors were the only ones given a heads up on this, giving them time to make model line-ups for the initial releases of these new factions. As such, many AoS factions actually do have fairly diverse styles that repreaent them well; all of the factions actually do have pretty clear differences even amongst the larger umbrella cultures such as Elves, Dwarfs, and Chaos>The lore writers were given very little heads up to these new factions. Initial AoS lore was already a rushed mess (much of which actually got scrapped in 2nd Edition under new management) and writing all of the new factions at once right as End Times shambled to its end was messy to say the least. Most lore was quickly written aa token entries to give purpose behind models before the writers moved on>Rule writers during 1st Edition AoS were, putting it lightly, beyond fucking retarded. It's astounding they actually published the rules in the state they were in.This led to significant issues in further productions; before 1st Edition AoS ended much of the management for it was ousted for poor performance. 2nd Edition in many ways still carried the stink of 1st Edition, as much of it was spent trying to fix everything wrong with the game and stabilize it.The 2E-3E transition is when the AoS team had finally manahed to get even footing, which they capitalized on by reinventing the Stormcast poster boys a bit to make them more appealing.Now going into 4th Edition AoS, many factions suffer from lack-luster or piecemeal army rosters while some others (particularly, Stormcast) had had to actually cut down on their available roster.AoS still needs several whole EDITIONS to reach a point where it could properly make for a Total War game.
>>554046413>>554046559>>554046776Planets aren't garrisoned by the Guard, those are the forces under a central command sent to offenses, imperium planets are held by PDF with similar but not identical equipment and a different command entirely They could have included human units as non playable, just to hold Imperium planets when not garrisoned by spess muhreens, and instead included a different playable faction. Flesh out the guard later.
>>554046939>wasting huge amount of money and building slots and not building a fucking extra army to counter said stacks insteadLmao, lol even.
>>554047225You're correct in that but I want you to tell me this, do you REALLY want another faction to get the Bretonnia treatment? Just add the fucking Guard and have the PDF use their units. You guys are asking for CA to make an overall worse product for the sake of a different faction getting in slightly earlier.
>>554046276When I was playing enemy armies mogged my wall garrissons every time... how come?
>>554045178works on my machine
Wasnt the End Times settled by a players match and GW hated the outcome and changed it?
>>554046776>You have no idea how 40k operates.When has this ever mattered? Every other 40k RTS just handwaved the fact that you'd have like ten thousand spess mahreens die over any given campaign, its not that important.
>>554047408>do you REALLY want another faction to get the Bretonnia treatment?Yes, I am 100% biased and driven entirely by agenda to shit on the Imperium and its fans in all circumstances.
>>554047562That was storm of chaos
>>554047562No, you're thinking of the Storm of Chaos narrative campaign which many now view as the original attempt at making End Times happen.
>>554047562That was Storm of Chaos. Which was meant to be the "original" End Times, but Chaos lost so fucking hard that there was no way to spin them getting even close to ending the world. So they retconned Storm of Chaos as just an AU and made End Times instead, this time without player participation.
Skill issue complaint post>Play order faction, all order factions are dead or down to 1 settlement by turn 30>Play Chaos faction, all Chaos factions are dead or down to 1 settlement by turn 30Its just so tiresome. Unless you start next to another same-side faction and keep spoonfeeding them, they're essentially gone by the time you establish diplomatic relations (barring few outliers). Diplomacy is essentially dead. Play as Empire? Its you vs world, by the time you have enough resources to help Lothern/Cathay/Bretonnia they are overtaken by Chaos. Play Sayl? Its you vs the world, by the time you reach Empire to help Chaos Invasion they are all dead and overtaken by Order. I feel this is why most people abandon campaigns by turn 50-80 when you've taken over the first "major" area: now its just an endless grind of you vs the world with their infinite stacks. I feel 3K did the overarching campaign much better with coalitions, military contracts and diplomatic turncoats infiltrating enemy factions. I hope 40K lifts a lot of the overarching campaign mechanics and diplomacy from 3K, but my outlook is grim. Grave even. What are your thoughts on the issue?
Remember when stream viewers kept comparing Legend to Rob Mac but then suddenly stopped cause he started balding and graying at an unprecedented rate despite being 15 years younger than Rob Map, and now he's quit the internet altogether? Yeah, those were the days!
>>554047562That was Storm of Chaos, including gems like teleporting Archaon directly into Middenheim, still losing, not killing off Archaon for mind melting retardation reasons, and everything being a wet fart that got retconned by the end times anyway.
>>554031030>The Imperium is legitimately evilNo, It is not. Chaos, Orks, Nids, Deldar are ontological evil and the Imperium is what keeps humanity from becoming their play things, food or extinction. The Imperium is literally humanity in a massive state of trauma.The DAoT was literally Star Trek humanity - coexisting and striving to be good and fair only for one or multiple fuckups, probably caused by chaos, that almost wiped the species out. Then the Age of Strife where humanity, AS A SPECIES learned the hard way that anything short of dispassionate violence and prejudice against any one or thing that was even slightly different meant war, famine, destruction, enslavement and death on a global scale with no mercy offered or given. Where aliens that had previously been allowed to exist by DAoT humanity turned on them, ravaged and fed on the carcass that was human civilisation, like rabid dogs.THEN the psykers started popping up en masse. Literal daemonic entities and hell itself washed over the survivors of who knows how many of millions of conflicts over millennia where humanity was barely holding on, and the only ones that thrived were the most closed minded, prejudiced, hateful and superstitious.5000 years of this. The Emperor revealed himself ONLY when it was all but certain humanity was turbo fucked and unable to recover. A broken, terrified, superstitious, technologically illiterate, traumatised species on the verge of its total destruction had 1 (ONE) chance to live. What assails the Imperium now is horrific even compared to the Rangdan which the Emperor was concerned might wipe out humanity on its own.>"Muh pockets of civilisation that dodged the strife"Isolated, outnumbered and utterly unaware of what lay beyond their meagre borders.Judging humanity in 40k by the standards of our existence and purposefully ignoring the conditions that formed them is exactly how every other IP has been disneyfied. Fuck you! You utter subversive cunt.

>>554048048Imperium people are not even real humans but some kind of giant rats in shape of man
>>554047304An extra army is infinitely more expensive than walls, you can't outnumber the AI's armies so they'll just play around yours attack your settlements that don't have enough garrison to even scare away a skeleton stack.

>>554047304>using full fucking armies on defenselmaoing at you
>>554048450
>>554048559Who said anything about defense? Offense is the best defense, anon-kun.
>>554048048The entire point of the Imperium is that it is evil and dysfunctional and self destructive and needlessly cruel you dumb retard. That's the entire appeal. Certain idiots then do a 180 and instead of thinking>the point of the Imperium is being an evil genocidal piece of shit grimdark shithole, this horrifying machine of violence is the appeal of the factionthey think>being the aforementioned cruel genocidal shithole is good and moral actually, just like I am a racist IRLWhich is why GW then waters it down
>>554048650
>>554048048This. There is a reason 40K was why the term "grimdark" was coined to describe it. Humanity isnt ontologically evil unlike, say, Tyranids like the post outlined. Humanity is oppressive and dehumanizing because it has no other choice if it wants to survive. If you allow humane pleasures in a certain planet you'll soon have small fraction (out of billions) who take it too far. Now you have Slaanesh cultists which soon results in a rift opened that allows Chaos to pour forth unabated and the planet is lost withoit massive otherwise unnecessary intervention that drains resources that are already stretched to their limits. If you allow free research soon you'll have Tzeentchian cultists and so forth. The only "reasonable" solution is to essentially make people unthinking drones with not enough time/money to indulge in any vices or excesses. Do what you're told, demand so much you have no time for anything else. And even then you need oppressive gestapo to make sure no one (even the elites who have time/money) can indulge in said vices. Even then its working your whole life and then getting drafted for a desperate war for most. Its a very shitty proposition, but the only one where humanity can survive, hence grimdark.
>>554048148>14 entire sentencesA proud retard is still a retard. But you arent one, you're just a midwit who enjoys pretending to be one because it lets you feel intellectual superiority for once. Sad.
>>554049009>Humanity is oppressive and dehumanizing because it has no other choice if it wants to survive.There's no other cjoices because the Imperium killed them all 10,000 years ago and actively hunts down and wipes out any humans who think about other choices.The Age of Strife had multiple Human civilizations thay peacefully existed with Xenos, even including some who actually cohabitated planets with Eldar.Chaos didn't wipe those groups out, the Imperium did.The Imperium is what feeds Chaos the most, even compared to actual Chaos worshippers, because all the horrific suffering that it inflicts goes directly to the Chaos Gods.
>>554049009>The only "reasonable" solution is to essentially make people unthinking drones with not enough time/money to indulge in any vices or excesses.Not at all, the point of the imperium's decay is that while those things you said work, they're only "needed" due to a downward spiral of incompetence and bad decisions and lack of careNot all of the imperium's stupid bullshit is necessary at all, but that's just how it is these days
>>554048657A trash stack will sneak into your territory at some point. A proper garrison will make them irrelevant.
>>554049009>If you allow humane pleasures in a certain planet you'll soon have small fraction (out of billions) who take it too far. Now you have Slaanesh cultists Imperium Nobles enjoy immense material pleasures and entire planets to entertain them, and even then they only rarely do slaanesh shit. Trillions of humans in Tau space enjoy immense luxuries like a second meal per day and only 12 hour weekdays and still, not much Chaos going around.>if you allow free research soon you'll have Tzeentchian cultists and so forthAdmech boys do original research all the time, they just lie that they found it somewhere to not break religious dogma.Being hypocritical is the point. Most of the shit the Imperium does is unnecessary.
>>554048559>Anon cant playHalf stack is more than enough for defence with a garrison. First defence battle pays for it in post-battle loot (which is why you recruited your army in the first place). Now you can use the halfstack to take over/sack enemy territory, making more money than if you had just been turtling. Basic bitch-ass strategy my friend.
>>554049264That's kind of a stupid metric because suffering or whatever else isn't inherently "bad" or cosmically evil, chaos taking advantage of how the warp works doesn't make human actions or thoughts any more or less evil
>>554049147I read your post dear anon. I was just mocking your use of a meaningless buzzword exclusively associated with culture war drivel.
>>554049009The point of grimdark is that the elites do indulge themselves anyway, for example by orgies or hunting the poor for food and sport. Also oppression makes people angry which fuels Khorne etc so there is no solution, which is also grimdark.
>>554049337woops they're already besieging the settlementwoops they razed it before a nearby settlement could recruit something to fight that
For me big full armies of niggers force march up to my minor settlements and just instaraze them, it's kind of annoyingIdk how to do defense outside of roaming "fuck you nigger" armies
>>554049796Walls Build walls
>>554049009>it has le no other choice!The chaos gods laugh. Their victory is absolute.
>>554049868Yeah no they go and kill the walls too is what I'm sayingOn autoresolve at least, I almost never actually try fighting it out, maybe that's it
>>554049638Your skill issue is tiresome, git gud.
>>554050027Tell me how you magic up a half stack out of your ass on a high quality settlement that is being attacked by some faction that marched an army literally across the map directly opposite from the main front.
>>554050006Autoresolve often doesn't play out anything like what the actual battle would, either because it would go way better or way worse for you.Ogres do fine in offensive sieges according to autresolve but they actually eat shit against a player with some walls and ranged units.
>The Eldar spent sixty million years as a race of super-psykers with Chaos not being an issue until the very end, and even then large portions of their population realized what was happening and tried to stop it. Their reign was a fairly peaceful one in which their people wanted for little, life was good, and they interacted with other races favorably.>In less than 500 years the Imperium became an abject dystopian hellscape of paranoia and suffering, screaming about "THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION" as it actively stabbed everyone around it unprovoked before turning the knife on itself to 'stop Chaos' as the Chaos Gods stood to the side and laughed at it
>>554050196I'll try to play them out more I guess!
>>554050341We all know that, there's no reason to bait them further.
>>554050178Are you declaring wars on random factions from across the map and then seethe when they send something your way and you cannot into interception?Like I said, skill issue.
>>554050341Eh false equivalence because eldar technology and general power mogs humanity by several levels, both in war and in general lifeThe imperium is working with much worse tools
>>554050462>don't defend just be offensive>actually no just defend with a half stack>actually no just intercept enemies?
>>554048690>>being the aforementioned cruel genocidal shithole is good and moral actually, just like I am a racist IRL>Which is why GW then waters it downAgain, lying by omission and muddying the waters with real world politics that has only been affecting GW and its writing for less than a quarter of its existence. Activists cannot separate reality from fiction, they demand safe spaces and censorship in their favour. They have taken down the biggest IP's already and have little else to do with their upper middle class pain of having no real pain or suffering. 40k is the next big thing. They are also afflicted with the millennial disease of getting the 'ick from anyone who likes something or is passionate without first submerging themselves in irony.So history, scifi, fantasy nerds get tarred with the same brush as all their ideological opponents - who are consistently increasing because of the purity spiral - and therefore anyone who say, likes the Black Templars, must be a goose stepping Nazi. Kriegers got popular recently - lets ignore their depiction being ALL sides of the horror of WW1 and primarily they take after the suicidal French.>"Ah MOAR NAZI'S!? What do you mean the Armageddon Steel Legion is LITERALLY wholesale Wehrmacht circa 1939? Who? That doesn't sound German or use a cross so who cares.>"They have a 'Le Emperor'? Must be a racist dogwhistle!">"What is Byzantium? The ERE? never heard of it">"Warhammer must change and modernise so we can feel comfortable just like every other hobby and interest!">"The Imperium needs to be more open minded and less dogmatic! Its totally racist and icky!">"Why would I buy or play as a 'sleenashi' thing or whatever, no no. Space Marines need to represent me you fucking bigots">"I am totally a lore nerd I know all about purple orcy's and the memes :D ;)">"Whats a Grazkull?">"Buy models? oh totally I have like 4 HUGE armies, all painted, I promise, I like play every other weekend and have for 20 years"

>>554051731Field battles against vlad are rough. His bats usually swoop in and fuck up my artillery and he hero spams which just fucks up my formations and dont allow them to shoot. I try and get Bruckner as fast as I can, but getting a bunch of cav kills before turn 20 is a struggle. Maybe I should just trutle up until I can get some hulks to fortify my frontline.

>>554053750Any faction where you are a horde that gives settlements to a vassal sucks because vassal AI sucks
>>554053737>Emily who has feathers under her armpitsDoes she let me touch them?
>>554050341No they did not. A race designed to specifically run rings around the warp and its denizens and had a perfect travel system meaning they could almost entirely ignore the warp and chaos if they chose to. They did not.Even so, there is lore where the Eldar are depicted fighting alongside Krorks AND necrons to fight enslavers and worse. It is not stated outright who or what but the depiction showcases some event or war where the warp entities were so dangerous, it literally pause the WAR IN HEAVEN.The Eldar being so technologically advanced they could ignore the warp is not the same AT ALL. Not to mention they personally birthed one. Even the Orks kept their bullshit in the warp contained to themselves and the Eldar could will their own gods into existence. By comparison the Eldar have had Nukes for most of their species existence and Man has had, at best, black powder muskets for 99% of theirs. The Eldar nuked themselves except they started the timer millions of years in advance and were too slavish to their desires to turn it off.Eldar before Slaanesh were never under threat from daemons from birth due to psyker powers, their technology cannot be corrupted by chaos, their software could not be daemonically corrupted at the kernel level. They could revive after death at will and lived thousands of years, to fix their mistakes.Eldar had literal cheat codes handed to them and they still fucked up worse than anyone. The Eldar is not the example that proves the Imperium is incorrect in their actions you think it is. Without the Eldar, the DAoT of humanity would not have fallen and the noblebright, 'inclusive' modern audience crap you cunts want could have happened instead.
>>554053187>Eldrad: "hey maybe we should stop eating babies and having super orgies.">Vect: "oh here we go mr judgy craftservative. Like I said before, the aeldari are ontologically good and it's impossible for them to do anything wrong because of this...*sigh* terrible state of being the dominant race in the Galaxy" we need to snort the space cocaine if we don't the necrons win! What don't tell me you side with those necroniggers. There's simply no other way to change our perfect society. All other races must either be killed or enslaved because we are the most good."
>>55404869040k is a critique of liberalism and leftism taken to its extreme end conclusion. The perfect Utopia of needing for nothing and having everything catered to you personally left them exposed to the Men of Iron rebellion. The concept of a multi racial galaxy - meant their enemies just bided their time until humanity was weak to take revenge upon them. Being open minded and having rampant, unbound scientific curiosity exposed trillions of people to the horrors of daemonic possession and invasion. All of this caused humanity to permanently lose unfathomable scientific knowledge and advancement in every single field of study. Humanity had even invented a true panacea. The last known one stolen by the deldar. If they had just offered a tithe of slaves maybe those monstrous and irredeemably evil cunts would have given it back? Or a copy?The entire fucking point of the setting, as others have said, is it being Grimdark. Humanity had its chance and the last hope it had was betrayed and is now a rotting carcass. The scared, stupid remnants of the species desperately serves just to survive one more day, and is rapidly declining but persists due to sheer momentum owed to its enormous size.It was made by a bunch of doomer englishmen, who had interests in history, living in the post empire of Great Britain and the perpetual drudgery and despair the country was in for decades since the Suez crisis confirmed the end of their former global empire. Everything is corrupt around them and in decay, everyone around them pining for glory days no one is capable of bringing about.'Muh'"They hated Thatcher cause everyone young did then, so they must have been cultural marxists!"No. Its not parody. Its a tragedy.You missed the point entirely, or worse - actively support the very ideology that dismantled and is destroying the culture 40k is lamenting.
>>554054050>Without the Eldar, the DAoT of humanity would not have fallen and the noblebright, 'inclusive' modern audience crap you cunts want could have happened instead.You're shadowboxing a boogeyman in your head, calm down sped.And the DAOT wasn't some post scarcity utopia, human factions performed very cruel imperialism on aliens in many occasions, it was expansionism with all its violence and oppression, although not outright genocidal. And "tech royalty" of planets oppressed humans under their control as well, baseline humans fought genetically engineered humans etc.

>>554051226The carbine shield dudes suck ass in manual battles but have ridiculous amounts of autoresolve power. It depends on the faction you're fighting but you can get them into 200+ kills from autoresolving, when in manual battles they would struggle to get like 30.All the regular halberd dudes are better overall for each tier imo. The Titans are the most OP unit that's still usable but you'd probably expect that. The super heavy 40k knockoff tanks are a laugh but they're horrendously slow

>leading Nah, it's just a cherry on top. I've already mathematically proven that transhammer 40kids is sales poison previously.
>>554059962Realistically I don't think even that would stop it. If anything it would enlarge its success as it's relative competitors vanish.
>>554060204Why did you use 'its' the same way twice but only apostrophize one

>Tau not a launch faction based
>>554061186I'm guessing you are a 40k player or something not familiar with game dev. They have started doing voice-work on the game, which is the last phase of development, usually done ~1 year prior to release. The DLC development probably began about 1-2 years ago. The roadmap for major titles typically exists for about 5 years into the future. The first few DLCs are in dev/predev. The ones for 2030 are just ideas on the whiteboard still.
>>554061557He's a steamcharts poster, you'll never get an intelligent response
>40kiddieslopper bragging about his transhammer slop getting shat out with chunks of content cut off from it to be resold as DLClollmaoI will drink to your suicide when this shit flops harder than my balls against your chin.
>>554061804I wasn't bragging. I was just trying to explain how games are released now. Every game has cut-content. It seems you understood my point at least, whether it upset you or not is your business not mine.
>Gate Guardians about to get COCKED>naturally all of Khuresh is Cathayan clay, so the gates are very important >if I let them die, I can conquer the gates without an issue>but as the leader of Order, it's a nice larp to help them, maybe sell back the gate to them to ally and recruit their unitsWhat would Meow the leader of multicultural Grand Cathay do?
>>554061539>Bluefacing
Your retarded schizoid drivel has nothing to do with explaining anything. Defending cut content resold as DLC is exactly the type of dogshit I'd expect to spill from a 40kultist's shit-encrusted maw.

Does anyone have any tips for Throt's early game? the first two battles aren't that bad but the siege usually is rough and you can't auto resolve it even if you get another army with around 6~ clanrats it goes from close to valiant would instead of going after kislev fighting the nurgle faction at the top of hellpit be better at least until you can get enough food to be able to fight them with better units?
>40k TW means that a Modern warfare TW game is a possibility
>>554063426Tech to stormvermin ASAP and buff start buffing them with survivability mutations. Having a durable frontline as rats is incredibly useful.
Shogun 2 is too hard :'(
>spamming peasant spearmen is le hardThis is your average histranny.
>>554063426The Siege isn't too bad. Spread your army out and have your mutant rat ogre on one side by himself, attacking the gate. When he breaks through, throw him into melee and have your wolf rats run past the defenders and take the victory point while the rest of your army attacks the other gates. The AI generally isn't gonna know what to do and will just let you cap.

>>554063179Basado.
>>554064695>cuckpaign cheatsNo one cares. In the actual game, zombies are good only as roadblocks, damage sponges and point holders (which is very useful), but to deal real damage you need hard hitters like crypto bros, vargheists, blood knights, wight kings with Skabscrath.
>>554065042>sure zombies are good in campaign but they're actually good in multiplayerok thanks retard
This cheats meme has gone a bit too far
>>554065013What game?
Being good doesn't mean they can deal damage with your gigacheats, retard. Other count units play a crucial role at the highest level, you can't win competitive games just by standing on points with endless zombies, you'll get mulched down eventually.

Those are good DLCs, thoughalbeit. Transhammer 40kids is the antithesis of good.
>>554066379One of my favorite pieces of internet lore is that you can tell what gender the content is made for based on how elaborate the hair animation isThis? Clearly made for men.

>>554062967Don't listen to the /v/ermin anon, you did good, we here in /twg/ support developers no matter how much it makes r/Volound seethe.
>>554067767Sometimes we support devs because of how much it makes r/Volound seethe.
Here's my million dollar idea on how to revive WHFB: we make an anime about Archaon and his entire character journey starting with his mommy getting snuggle-struggled by Norscan BVLLs and ending with him BTFOing Smegmar in a duel and blowing the fucking world up to spite the chaos gods. It would be unimaginable kino.
>>554068272OK but he needs to actually be a cute girl
>>554063179Bro your Love n War? The newest entry even has Legendary Lords and they've got another game on the way!
>>554068272is he the ultimate chud?
:(
>>554068272>>554068329fund it
>>554068272Any moe characters? If not I don't care.
>>554068272>the ultimate badass champion of chaos>his mount is... a regular horse
T-minus 16 minutes until the 40k model reveal show.Estimated 46 minutes to mass meltdownBrace for tremors
>>554068397Not a chud, Archaon could get literally infinite pussy, if he wanted. His motivation runs deeper. He is the ultimate anti-hero who realizes that there is no winning for humanity against the metaphysical force of chaos so he does what needs to be done in order to achieve a moral victory: give chaos shits what they actually want by killing everyone so that humans would no longer be chaos puppets.
>>554068568what the fuck kind of regular horse has teeth like that?
>>554068591Why? This is neither a tabletop general nor a 40k general.
>>554068272Power metal ost?
>>554068656One that you don't take good enough care of because you're evil and you live in a frozen wasteland
>>554068664It's funny you think that.
>>554068804It's funnier you don't.
I'm going to try a shogun campaign. this time as Date. wish me luck
>>554068790And the spikes growing out of it? What horse breed is spiky?Anyway they 40kified his horse in Age of Sigmar it's a demon dragon chimera thing now.
>>554068669Of course:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq_r19xoKJE&list=RDNq_r19xoKJE&start_radio=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy1J_i32wTg&list=RDQy1J_i32wTg&start_radio=1
>>554068272No one actually cares about ArchaonBut they DO care about>>554068509
>>554068664>nor a 40k general.Anon, it's over. Let it go.
>>554068941Yeah I'm not gonna deny that the horse does have an appeal but idk if that was their intention or not
>>554068568Riding on some dragon thing just means the hero is no longer fighting
>>554063314Battle Sisters
Archaon's position as the biggest ultimate bestest villain Warhammer fantasy has ever seen just doesn't feel right. He's just kinda propped up and it feels even more artificial than it should.
Total War is for everyone.My fellow sisters got it right.CHUDS with their tribalism should kill themselves ok
>>554068902Good luck bwo. Blogpost a bit to keep the shitposters away.
Archaon is SLURPZA of warhammer.
>>554069217lol wait till you take a look at 40keks and Abaddon
>>554069217I think the whole Everchosen thing fucks it all up. Really hammers home that they're saying that he's the big bad instead of showing him do big bad things.
>>554069263That's cool and all, but I'm playing Biel Tan and I'm going to wipe your Chapter from the annals of history until not remains but footnotes detailing the tragedy and totality of your destruction.
>>554069217He feels right, because he has an actual deep character development journey. The only real artificial thing about him is Belacuck rewinding the timeline once his own mother kills him.

Would a Blood Bowl minigame work in Total War? I'm thinking, you build a stadium in a tier 4/5 city, and you can challenge rival teams from other factions. Your team would be led by lords and heroes, not on the campaign map.
This is where Queek starts, right?

Are nurgle sorcerers worth it for anything besides fleshy abundance?

>>554080737I clarified nurgle sorcerers and even used a nurgle lore spell hth
Here's 1/3rd of your first LL pack
>>554080239If you mean this guy, then yes, he's a hero sorcerer of nurgle and you can put him on a rotbeast allowing him to retain his massive armor and gain armor piercing attacks, thus making him into pretty much the best battlemage type hero.

>>554082659>"Flop sales" means a product, film, song, or campaign experiences significant commercial failure, failing to meet sales expectations or cover costs, resulting in a significant loss or lack of success, especially when compared to high hopes or marketing. BF was profitable as fuck and outsold the highest selling BF game after release. Dice isn't spending much money on updates and battle passes. It's a map + easy as shit to make BP and "event". They profited from this largely. It is defacto not a flop even if it lost ALL players months ago. The initial sales alone put DICe in a huge plus. They made 5x of the development budget (AND THIS INCLUDES BUDGET FOR POST LAUNCH SUPPORT) of the game as profit.Every sane person realizes this, but you are mentally ill and can't be reasoned with.
>>554083994I don't believe a word.
