Thanquol soon, friends!
which LLM is best to help me decide each warhammer 3 turn?
>>554225328Think for yourself you pathetic human cattle.
It can work.
anytime I play Dark Elves I think of this and get hard
How could we buff them so theyre actually good?
>>554225660They're already good.
I just really like this picture of RepanseI wish I had money so I could commission her being aggressively kissed by Valkia
>>554225660give them explosive charges
>>554225689Contrarian spotted>>554225752Would be better than that shitty pistol they use desu
>>554225689Based Aryan spotted>>554225752Would be far worse than the exceptional pistol they use tbdesu
IT'S KYISLEV
why didn't legend name an heir. Now the empire has fallen.
>>554226257he did name his successor
>>554226257He did. He named Lionheart. He said "Sotek is not your guy, he's here for Warhammer not Total War, if someone is your guy it's Lionheart"
total skaven holocaust
>>554226392Agreed
>>554226337>Sotek is not your guyTRVKE
>>554226320>>554226337sorry I'm here on vacation... That's Cool.
>>554226337I just looked and Lionheart hasn't had a big bump in views. He still averages a few thousand, where did the 50k average viewers that Legend used to get go?
Custodes DLC soon
>>554226754That's a man
>>554226754That's a troon
>>554226736They all went to Josh
After Skarsnik won my campaign for me, it only seems fitting I play him next.
>>554226754That's my wife
>>554227185Bro your wife fucks demon cock..
was economy easier in warhammer 2? i feel like I always had a surplus of money in 2 whereas I'm always kinda low in 3
>I felt like a slave since I couldn't talk about religion or politics with my Warhammer-watching audience.
>>554227351well in 2 you stack 19 archers that cost absolutely nothing. Here you need a mixed army that's more expensive.and growth got cut real bad
>>554227351It really depends on the faction you play.But overrall a lot of economy buildings like ports have been nerfed along with both Doookie and Assur economy. Dorf economy is better now than it has ever been though
cant believe monogods never got unique music
>>554227497>and growth got cut real badNot bad enough IMO, the AI shouldn't be able to field T5 units by turn 30 like they can now, it makes wiping out a faction's starting army a worse option than just beating them really bad but letting them live, which is massively counter intuitive.
>>554227658Don't speak of unique music when the state of game 1 races is as it is.
>>554227385This is also a TRVKE, Slophammer players are incompetent of having civilized discussion
>>554227781Uhh.. my dude, do you really wanna run around with t1-2 units for 100turns? We already finish campaigns before we ever get to T5
>>554227385dumb frogposter
>>554228332NTA but yes>cut growth down even more>higher recruitment costs>higher turn time for construction>vastly strip the enemy AIs ability to spam armies to a third of what it currently is now on Very Hard>every factions buildings are overhauled to now require certain buildings and/or unique resources to build in the first place>T3 units wont be easily recruitable until around turn 50, turn 80 for T4 and turn 100 for T5>either nerf the movement range for everybody (including the special teleport traveling) or enlarge the map so it takes at bare minimum 2-3 turns on average of travel in the enemys province to attack an enemys settlement
>>554229628Insane niggercancer type feelDo not get hired to work for CA
>>554230523If you have ever played civ, he is basically just slowing down the game, akin to Normal vs Marathon speed in civ. Not that crazy of a concept really.
>>554231785This game doesn't have 30% of the city management content that civ has for that
>>554229628>wow, turn 50 and I got my first wall in a settlementYou have to be kidding me man. Not only can you never get those walls done, you walk around with 3 stacks of fucking skavenslaves for 50 turns. What's the idea here? And how are factions ever supposed to fight Chosen with fucking trash? Tamurkhan over there shitting out Toad Dragons and Rot Knights and an army of heroes all without buildings.. and you want to fight THAT with a stack of.. clanrats? T1 spearmen? Maybe some squires?I wanna see you accomplish that.And before you go rambling about >hurr muh dlc power creepThe fucking vampires raise t5 units in the first 10 turns.
>Streltsi>Armored Kossars>Kossite Dervishes>Winged Lancers>Snow LeopardAre any of these useful in any capacity?
>>554232425I like the kitty cause it's cute. It eats low tier cav real good.
>>554232425>StreltsiWhen an enemy has primarily high armor units theyre fine>Winged LancersDecent cavalry option with acceptable stats>the restNo
>>554232884Fucking grim, this faction really is just kossar spam
As somebody who spams doomstacks, Kislev is the only faction where I will use lower tier stuff like Kislevite Warriors and Armored Koassars because they are actually good.Fuck the cavalry though, they are bad.
What faction/LL do I play? Want a fun, varied roster and good mechanics if possible.
>>554233668Karl
>>554233668Throt
>>554233668How about you first disable cheats? Then we'll talk.
>>554227385QRD?
>>554233224Yeah, tis a shame, theyre essentially worse Greenskins when it comes to their economy at the start because they get a good amount of money from battle but not enough to build all their buildings like the Greenskins do and take forever for their econ buildings to finally start making money and usually by then, you can recruit Tzar Guard/War Sleds/Ice Guards/War Bear Riders which are all pretty good. Their midgame units might as well not exist and you spend the first 30 turns using Kossar spam because its all they can afford.
>>554232425streltsi, armoured kossars, and winged lancers are very strong. they are automatic includes in any early game armydervishes are abysmal but they might serve to pull away parts of the enemy army as they advancei dont think snow leopards are that good but some people report them being useful situationally they just die really really quickly
>>554233824VCO is a good mod.
If Ice Witches/Frost Maidens buffed Armored Kossars and Streltsi the way they buff Ice Guard and Tzar Guard theyd actually be good
>>554233804Haven't played Throt since Wh2. Hate brood horrors. They're boring and not even cool to look at. I can appreciate the other freaks tho.
why does no one play skaven
>>554232425>what is light cavalry forThe same thing all light cavalry is for, chasing enemies off the battlefield
>>554237385They are the homosexual army for gay queer faggots
>>554237349Too hard and also outdated, they need an update
>>554237487Light cavalry isn't an army it's a unit type
>Playing overhaul slopThey're all created purely out of misplaced ego. Why further inflate the head of some sperg that thinks they've made the game good by just slightly altering stats across the board?
Is this the person who's meant to bring the End Times???
>>554237349The only fun Skaven lord (Thrott) has a piss boring start position
I'm starting to get cheat fatigue. Time for some Vanilla.
>>554237679>posting post slop
>>554228332I'm not >>554229628But I agree with everything except>>vastly strip the enemy AIs ability to spam armies to a third of what it currently is now on Very HardBecause AI army spam was worse in Warhammer 2 and the game was better and more engaging for it, you know I'm right because people played Warhammer 2 campaigns for longer than 30 turns.
>boris got his bear mount and it made him worse in meleeHm :/
>>554232425>Streltsi>not usefulNigga what? I can maybe, MAYBE see an argument for armored Kossars, but fucking Lothern Sea guard(Guns Edition) not being useful?
>>554237385>The same thing all light cavalry is for, chasing enemies off the battlefieldUnless you're fighting a goblin stack or skaven then that's never going to be something you have a use for as no unit in the game breaks before they take 80% casualties, at which point you have already won the battle anyway.
>>554240352god nu-total war sucks
>>554240352Maybe if you're a min-maxing faggot
>>554240352>what is rallying
I'm starting to think /twg/ plays like Legend instead of playing in an actually fun way..
Is gotrek just insane dogshit or is there a way to use him
>>554242017Think laterally
>>554240112Streltsi are OK but you are way overselling them if you think they're as good as Lothern
>>554242080He has no armor and is slow as shit!!! ree
Half my army lost my ass.. Skarbrand parks solo in the winning circle and waits for victory.
>>554243527How did half your army lose your ass?It's huge.
>>554243879
is this a lie? none of its abilities say they do this and I didn't see any bonus to its melee defence when I had it chilling in the trees
>>554242719>brunette blazerdamn it feels good to be a gangster
>>554244652Must be caused by the cheats your using
CA wouldn't delay it.
Let me guess, you need more?
>>554244960Fuck off.
>>554244652some of the listed attributes for certain units are straightup wrong, usually from units that were changed in between games 1-3
>>554246596Preytons were introduced in Tides of Torment
>>554247173I'm retarded thenit has to be lying though
>>554244652That's the reason he has Strider even tho he's a flier.
>>554224854Who is the best crusader faction? Volkmar, Kostaltyn, or Repanse? Do any of them have mods that make it more like a real crusade or even like a MTW2 crusade where you can recruit a bunch of exclusive low upkeep unique units?
>>554244652It's not lying, it's an ability, an old one and it works. It just doesn't show like how charge doesn't show in stats. All woodelves have forest stalker.
>>554247785
>>554247785Bretonnia!
>>554247785Volkmar
>>554251370they did him dirty in total war
>>554252554How? I feel there's a grim story behind that.
>>554247785Gor Rok
Okay so these are the announced DLCs so far.>Grand Cathay character pack>Lords of the End Times>Kurt Helborg character Pack>Wood Elf DLC(Not stated what as Richard Aldridge just stated generically Wood Elf DLC.)What other DLCs do you think we are getting?
>>554255815I want a DLC that is grim, possibly even grave
>>554255815I want a banners dlc, knowing full well I'll never get it.
>>554225463
>>554237349I don't have the DLCs yet. Anyone want to give an unc some pennies?
>>554237349Trans coded faction.
>>554237349they need dlc and don't resemble humans so boring people can't insert
Oh boy /twg/ do I have a story for you.>Kislev campaign.>WoC stack infiltrates past the Gianthome mountains and into my troll country. Led by Valkia>She takes Kzarla>She takes Zoishenk>Both with max garrison, but her army still keeps going deeper to castle Alexdronov>I have it full tier and with the special Njevski's Citadel building so she's going against a bigger garrison, but still get valiant defeat with auto resolve.>Outplay her beaten up army till the point I still have half a garrison and she has 2 models of RoR aspiring champions and herself. That's it.>Balance bar is still 50-50 somehow.>Try spamming T4 towers (I have all points so I have the resources)>COMICALLY miss the TWO FUCKING AC's (think 200 ish health) 17+ times in a row. have to send my cav to finish the 2 MODEL job. Still spamming T4 towers because what else am I going to do with the resources?>Valkia is even worse. she is happily dealing with the multiple units of infantry surrounding her despite her entire army dead or shattered.>Cannot make a dent in her. /twg/ are fucking liars. Turns out the Khornate is stupid good in melee>T4 towers barely hit her and certainly down damage her enough to matter.>Try Traps, but only manage to slow her down.>Starting to take significant loses and might actually lose the settlement to this one bullshit overpowered LL.>But then I remember. She flies, and she isn't unbreakable.>Flier units can't be by themselves. They can't cap, They have to fight in melee if alone or they lose leadership and eventually route.>Spend the remainder of the battle actively avoiding her and using traps to prevent her from getting to the ground.>She resolves to try to take down one of my towers. Had she not been losing morale and eventually crumbled I would have lost.The morale of the story:1. ALWAYS install your mortal LL's cheat as LL's are cheating in of themselves. /twg/ are liars.2. Defensive Towers are dogshit even when spammed. /twg/ are liars.
>>554259412>con3. VALKIA IS NOT WEAK. She is a khornate LL and is just as bullshit as the other khornate ll's /twg/ are fucking liars.Rot in hell you conehead bitch
>>554259696she wild in bed tho
>pick kislev>mfw when https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xaj8QSJZ0E
How do I succeed as early game katarin? By the time I'm done dealing with the initial norsca enemy you fight it feels like everything north of you is lost. Like Throt is just wiping out everything.
>>554259874>priest bless my house this weeklmao you fags will never experience this joy
>>554259412>>554259696I don't think anyone claims Valkia is weak, just the weakest of the Khorne LLs.
>>554259412>>554259696>anon engages a khornate lord in melee and is mad he didn't win that engagementWhat the fuck were you expecting?
>>554260037Go take your rightful place as ruler of the empire instead obviously.
>>554260315But I want to play kislev
>>554260490That's what I said. Go fight the empire.
>>554260179Oh here we go with the goalpost moving... No one would ever say such things...>>554260296>Anon thinks someone CHOSE to engage the khornate in melee Nigger SHE ATE MY ENTIRE STOCK OF AMMO. She took Volley after Volley of concentrated kossar fire and regenerated like Vlad. The towers are hitting my garrison more than they hit her. There was literally not another option than just let her run around and get bored.Whatever....It's fine it's over...she's dead.
>>554260645I want to be their friends
why didnt they give Skrolk the plague cauldron
>>554261740You can befriend them with combat.
>>554233668>Add Nagash Undead under VCounts>Potentially add DoW under WoC>???? under WelvesMy autism will not accept that they leave an empty space.
>year 2026>No Halo total war edition to this day Hybrid it as SWEAW Campaign with some sprinkle of Total war mechanics. You're welcome.

>>554259849that's true
>>554261479>basically immortal LLs finish whole armies by themselvesstrategy game btw :^)
>>554224854They have dragons, they have ogres, they have dragon-ogres, they have trolls, why no dragon-trolls?
>>554266061Meow forma de lewd mod
>>554273215>>554261479skill issue
i was told valkia isn't good
>>554274263She's Chaos so she is evil
>>554273560Not a skill issue, my дpyг won.
>>554226337>>554226736>LionheartHe's an ok lad.Haven't watched him in years though
>>554273508dragon ogres aren't even related to ogres, it's just a name
>>554274263She's khorne's wife so obviously she's not a good person.
>>554225660i already use them because im not an autistic retard who runs 18 kossars and hero blobs
I have never seen this before, is this a Very Hard thing
>>554225463can you spam something else for 3 days straight next?
What does the Purple Hand do if they get 9 hideouts?
>>554280246Kairos takes all
>>554280246Uninstalls your game
>>554280246They leave of course. The tooltip even tells you that!What, you don't think it's lying do you?
>>554279521>im not an autistic retard who runs 18 kossars and hero blobsyou're doing good anon, I'd rather kill myself than stooping this low
>>554279521You're not being efficient
3K SIEGES GOODWH SIEGES BADWhy is it like that tho
>>554280773>UHHH ECELEB SAID YOU SHOULDN'T USE THIS UNIT EVER SO THAT'S INEFFICIENT
>>554280798WH is more ADHD
>>554280773You're being autistic and retarded.Stop min-maxing the fun out of the game
>>554281029I will never stop having fun playing Total War
>>554281289>I will never have fun playing Total Warftfy legendoftotalbald
>>554280798I like WH sieges though. I don't get why everyone seems to hate them.
>>554279605Replenishment from that option has always scaled based on the actual number of captives you take. You can practically double your replenishment by manually running down routers instead of just hitting end battle.
>>554279605Looks like you weren't able to take any captives anon.
Holy shit Epidemius campaign is fucking torture. Wtf do you do against anus Darkbalde
>>554281780Darkblade is probably the easiest part of the early game. Malakai will delete half your army with that free summon of his
>>554281780>having trouble with cuckblade of all people
If you had to make an educated guess, who would you say is the least-played LL across all the games? My bet is any of the VCoast lords but specifically Cylostra.
>>554281515The only thing I want fixed is an enemy like Greenskins should sally out when it realizes you have a massive ranged advantage and are just bombarding them to deathThey also need to try and keep the units that can't climb the walls like cav and trolls away from just being shot to death as they stand near the walls waiting for an opening
>>554282080Tretch
>>554282080I would guess Craventail or OxyotlI have no basis for this.
When you finally realize the best strategy is to never stop attacking
>>554282812Sometimes the best strategy is to stop thinking about strategy.
>>554281539Can you get captives from other races?
>>554232425>StreltsiExtremely useful, especially after the techs.>Armoured KossarsSame as the above and also especially after the techs. Tanky, the ranged attack is actually very strong, the go-to unit late game. Regular Kossars fall off a cliff once you have to fight higher tier armies full of Chaos Warriors and other stuff, those are always useful.>Winged LancerIt's ok but Gryphon Legion/War Bear Riders are better.>Snow Leopard, Kossovite DervishesNo.
>>554282080Egypt woman what's her face
>>554282019I fucked all his units but then he just turns demonic and solo my entire army. And i can't even run away from him so he could burn himself out cuz nurgle units too fucking slow
>>554284437“Neferata’s bitch sister”
>>554280798A lot of little things. 3K maps and effects are beautiful, the vibrant colors and lack of tonal clash that we see as a result of 3 different Warhammer games, and banners and effects like fire arrows and burning buildings just look so good. 3K characters bar some exceptions like Lu Bu don't solo armies so no annoying LL bumrushing your garrison and winning effortlessly, and even Lu Bu doesn't have the insane mass of WH lords to just break your defenses. Deployable weapons on walls, and the deployables don't suck. Small reactivity in seeing your buildings actually on the map, some civilians like Attila, and less cracks in the engine appearing since it's all just dudes with weapons and not dogs and birds and octopuses and whatever. Sieges are still ass to me in 3K, but sieges have also to me been ass in every TW game, 3K just has the most features that work whereas Warhammer has several times over thrown up its hands and given up just to go back and try and fix it.
I have to restart my very hard Franz campaign because I did everything wrong...
>>554285890Just roll with your failures and do your best to fix things. Failing to a degree often makes more entertaining campaigns.
My fav faction is Tiktaq'to because I love bombing the shit out of the enemy, what other factions do y'all recommend THAT IS NOT stuff like Gelt or Ikit Claw I don't wanna be sitting back with artillery I wanna be active and aggressive
>>554286852skarbrand
>>554286182okay I'll keep playing, but I don't think I can beat greenskins, beastmen, marienburg AND nurgle at the same time while vampires are creeping closer from both sides...
>>554286852Beastmen and install the mod.
FUCK YOU GUYS, I'M OUTTA HERE!
>>554289618What, why? Who hurt you?
>>554289738His back... please understand....
>the vast, highly populated alluvial plains of Cathay, supporting a huge population through efficient cultivation of rice?>the slowest growth rate in the game>the frozen shithole steppes and tundra of Kislev?>highest growth rate in the game>fuck it, give them the most growth per growth building>and they can build two lines of themwhy
>>554290380chaos makes organisms grow more and faster
>>554290380Also Dwarfs. Dying race with better growth than Cathay and they also have +50 growth in the grudge mechanic.
>>554290380Meow's one child policy...
>>554289552Which beastman and which mod!
>>554291080THE modhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3476784883
>>554291080https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3238432277
>>554290749That's a kneejerk reaction from WH1 and 2 where dwarfs had glacial growth. Probably the same reason all their best units got knocked down to tier 3.
DIE MANLINGS!!!
>>554291543
>>554290380"population surplus" is just a weird abstract value that you can accept as being relative to a specific race
>>554291908>CA officially states one Gospodar is worth a thousand chinamen
I've never finished a Cathay campaign. I get bored
>>554292163Have you finished any campaigns?
>>554292371Yeah
Wood Elf campaign or an Ungrim campaign?
>>554292727Drycha
>>554292945Will she let me suck maple syrup from her tits
I've never played EmpireNot racist or anything, just don't like 'em
>>554293041Yes but you're getting a sounding session that involves 2 of her fingers during that
is it worth to upgrade my khorne chaos warrior halberds even though there are no chosen with halberds
>>554293041Yes , after you rid Athel Loren of all the elves
>>554293198wrathmongers rape everything anyways so whatever
What faction are you most excited for in 40k?I really want to build an extremely elite eldar army with spiders and scorpions and attack others with unusual tactics.
>>554237349ok ratfag, beastMEN are the most powerful faction in the universe yet no one plays as them
>>554294089Whichever faction has the least variety and the strongest Tier 1 units. Tyrarists maybe? Help me.
>>554294193Proud owner of a wh1 beastmen campaign win cheevo (>1%)
>>554294812Marines
>>554295009I played so much Beastmen back in WH1Encamp being an hidden stance and also having an ambush stance was sick. Perfect gorilla warfare campaign. Distraction army, ambush army. Minotaurs with the best animations in the game. Bray Shamans on their 10000kg chariots just ploughing through formations while casting the most overpowered lores of magic. Just had to mod out the horrible beast path battle maps.
Can Tomb Kings compete in the late game? Like do their constructs tech/level well enough to fight powercreeped shit?
>>554295138You know we're gonna have some fuckass shit like Young Marine Scout Regitants as Tier 1s.
I hate the WoC dark fortress meme, but I like the faction other than that
>>554295524Not without stuff like Tabletop Caps, no. They're better now but you get so few constructs and are so slow to reach them you just have to rely on Tomb Guard more than anything because the AI can spam 13 stacks of Longbeards straight at your weakest settlement. No matter how strong individual units are they are gimped by their slow ass requirements
Just love me goatmen and cowgirls so much bros. Beastmen finally got the respect they deserve after 50 years of suffering.
>>554294193which faction has the lowest percantage rate of completion?
>>554296925wood elves
>>554297068i always reach completion when serene naestra and tempestuous arahan are on screen!
>>554294089Chaos Space Marines. I just really like defilers and obliterators
>>554296925Wood Elves at VH or Legendary.Beastmen at whatever difficutly
>>554295009That’s not so hard. You just run around farming xp and then join Archaon on his peepeepoopoo crusade
>>554296595Should I edit the tabletop caps for tomb kings? Make tomb guard core instead of special and maybe lower the reqs for some constructs to help balance it out?
Why isnt there a dark elf faction whose gimmick is spamming the most fun spell in the game?
>want to play Kairos again>remember the horrible start
>>554299007Just use a cult to leave
>Wulfrik's quest battle>you're supposed to hunt down some mysterious challenger>to draw him out, you first must slaughter a bunch of peasants>do it>nobody shows upSurprisingly lore-friendly

>>554300618what about choco bruddas?
>>554300781I'd recommend Tretch honestly. Ambushes are your bread and butter, so you'll have an advantage in battle. He also buffs stormvermin to be pretty good line holders, allowing you to hammer and anvil with rat ogres or death runners. He gives his entire army devastating flanker to supplement this.
Anyone else here that can't touch warhammer 3 anymore?
>>554301583Do CA and GW pay you to make these retarded posts?
>>554300781flood them with numbers, flank your opponents with slaves/clanrats, abuse the food mechanic too get a t3-4 settlement early, for early game catapults or warpfire throwers. another strat i saw was making a second stack of slaves and letting the ai use it so you outnumber them even harder.
>>554301583>heavily rim my asshole>be surprised when (you) get pregnant
>>554298134Nah, TTC works pretty well off the bat to me. TK are core for Settra and constructs aren't versatile enough to take more than the base system allows
What will sqvire be doing in 40K
>>554300618what about choco eldar?
The ai is so fucking lethal with fanatics. Honestly what a broken unit.
>>>554280246>play Tzeenchian faction>get Purple Hand location in first few turnshell fucking yeah

>>554280246don't worry about it haha
>>554303794I thought it'd be funny to say itYou'll be happy to know that, after 5 tries, the Wulfrik quest battle played out fine :DDD
do most people do the objectives of a campaign or do you just do whatever until you get bored of this playthrough
>>554303693Clowns
>>554305717based
they should add more dark fortresses so WoC aren't forced to all go in the same direction. Maybe make 1/3 of capitals able to be a dark fortress no matter where they are
>>554306364Yes please.
>>554306084It depends. Sometimes I might do the objectives if they seem interesting or different from what I've done before, but otherwise I'll start ab campaign with my own objective in mind and pursue that.
>>554306685I think the Norscan/Dechala system of "spend loot/thralls to turn into a Dark Fortress" will be added to them all for the rework coming with Crom in the End Times. Spend enough souls and turn it into a Fortress. It just makes too much sense
FUCKING RATS REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>554306084At first i just played for 70-odd turns until I got bored.Then I started going for Long Victories.Then I installed VCO and have been doing that instead because there's a ton of nonsensical Long Victory conditions that require you to control regions on the opposite side of the planet.
>>554306084With VCO? Yes, I just don't bother with vanilla.
this ai has quite a stack
>>554308681one army with some fast units and its over
>>554308681>>554309446go, my 17 pitbull + 2 duelist hero shitstack
>befriends me>agrees to go after my enemies>slowly tails nakai as he rapes my starting provinces, could easily catch him and kill him with his full stack if he used all his movement points but he chooses to just sit and watch get raped by demon bats golden boy
If buff spells applied to the entire army for their duration or at least all had a gigantic area of effect I'd actually consider using them over damage spells.
so as arbaal does just locking all of your melee troops in a group and right clicking beat everything? Even when I've had predictions of losses I don't even have to micro anything to win

The spellsinger heroes should have access to lore of dark and high, not just the spellsinger lords
>>554237349Its because they have dumb long victory condition. Like clan pestilence needs to go to badlands and collect more settlements for the hold 7 of this crap. WoC also has this crap, but are more likely to actually get some diplomacy going in the settlements they need to hold or be allied with.

>>554325753your second enemy is going to be volkmar into arkhanvolkmar is unlikely to be hostile to you initially but he is in the way and has territory that has resources you absolutely require for mortuary cult. But there is also the water spring territory behind him that is absolutely critical for you as at level 3 you can build a landmark there that gives your ushabti perfect vigour and gives you 10 unit capacity for them and you have almost certainly gotten the rite to summon a necrotect that will make a level 3 settlement so you will use it for this. Arkhan and Skarbrand both dont like you but out of the two Arkhan again has territory that has resources for mortuary cult and Skarbrand is usually at war with everyone in the north so you usually have time to kill arkhan before going for him
Besides the big AoE move you have with the lore of ice, what else is noteworthy about it? So far I'm just not too impressed by ice frost maidens is all
>>554327395wish him the best!
I hope Nemesor Zahndrekh is the LL for necrons in TW40k
>>554327905Death Frost was buffed, Crystal whatever's immobility doesn't matter because the AI doesn't micro out of fights it's engaged in, wind spell and Ice Sheet are basically freeAlways seemed pretty good when I played them
>>554328230It'll probably be Trayzn, either that or Otherkin or whatever his name was.
Can I not choose to not reinforce my army with another army?
>>554327905crystal sancuary is an AOE 80% damage resistance spells that is the single thing that makes kislev hero stacks powerful.ice sheet especially if you can throw down multiple in a path synergizes extremely well with your shooters.deathfrost does do good damage for a single target spell its okay.ice maidens typically have to be grouped up as their -spell resistance combined with elemental winds mastery boon ends up quadrupling their spell damage with just 4 of them + ice witch lord and a tricksters other shard.the thing is for ice witches you are getting a bunch of other stuff you dont usually get with mages for other factions. 4 ice witches can also give tons of movement speed or give tons of melee attack and defense for iceguard or -40% upkeep to an army while also having high damage but kinda overcosted spells
>>554328938>hero stacksdamn that's pretty gay
>>554328318>>554328938The wow iceblock thing is aoe? dang, I'll try it then, I wrote it off as kind of bad because I thought enemies would just leaveThe ice cone spell I haven't been using because it looked low damage, I'm not great at using slowing things to try and get to shoot more desuThanks
>>554328778Nope, especially annoying when outside a settlement you don't want to protect
>>554329801That's fucked up.
>>554325664no amount of skill will give me more growth. it's managable it just sucks because I can't recruit anything other than infantry.
>>554328230Trazyn and Szarekh for the release in Warhammer 40k 2 or 3.

>>554329957>like 6 ragged garrison units all on 1% hp>can't make them retreat because it's a siege fight>have to try and quickly suicide them so your actual units can get on the fieldIt's very lame
>>554325368oh looks its the guy that doesn't like playing past turn 20
>>554330946I think they learned their lesson about sequel games and are just gonna go all in on making Warhammer 40k just one game.
>>554331590Didn't they even say so?With the new engine they're more flexible so 40k will be one game with years of support and updates/upgrades?I guess we're rather getting some kind of expansion pack than a sequel
>>554331914Idk if they said it but it's my hope at least.Like a massive chunk of Warhammer 3's problems are just being split off from TWW2 early on.They'd have to be absolute retards to look at how TWW 1-3 went and go 'Yeah let's do that again'But this is CA so
>>554332269All they had to do is to learn the lesson from porting norsca to wh2. They didn't and did the same shit with wh3. You seriously expect they are capable of learning this lesson?
>>554332507third times the charm I guess but if they repeat the same thing they did with the fantasy trilogy it will be really funny.
>>554332646I expect them to repeat it. TCLAP gonna TCLAP.
>>554331590Then Szeras and Imotekh as well.
so my gameplan as Franz is take out the beastman asap rightand then what do I do after that
I will throw Cathay into the dark ages
Man kislev is making me learn this game something fierce (idk how hard this battle would be for someone competent but it took me 3 tries to not get hopelessly crushed)At first it pissed me off but now I'm having fun, back when I tried playing tww2 for a total of 40 hours I just stopped playing because I couldn't be fucked to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of my unitsFun game
>>554332810usually my franz has this order 1. Starting province 2. Beastmen 3. Festus 4. Changeling 5. Vlad 6. Drycha and quest battles whenever they become available
>>554333281>Changeling 5.what's the deal with Changeling? I forgot about him in my 100 turn campaign and then noticed he's still raiding Pfeildorf or whatever. Never moved an inch. I don't get it. Absolutely Tzeentchian tho.
>>554332816Cathay's research tree pisses me offYou have the economy to ignore peasants but the first 30 turns of research all peasantmaxx especially if you want the more campaign-focused technologies>research to improve ironhail gunners is after research to improve your crossbowsWeirdly paced thing it is
>>554333073Best kind of victory
>>554328230I hope that we get Valgûl someday...
https://youtu.be/yecqFYIVX84?t=35
>>554333414Basically CA in their wisdom created a faction that is all but impossible to actually defeat, having no standing settlements, expanding through hidden parasite undercities, and having armies that can go invisible on the campaign map beastmen-style. Which means that when the Changeling was working normally, it was utterly impossible to know what you had to do to fight him. You just had to run a squad of heroes up and down all over your settlements before a stack could suddenly materialize from literally bumfuck nowhere and sack or raze your cities. Made even worse because he could also do the same to AI factions, which meant you might not even actually have the ability at all to finish him off.So the only way they could find to make him manageable once again was to just... lobotomize him and make him stand still with a single stack and single undercity the whole campaign.
Damn bratty tree.... Making fun of adult Norscan.... Correction needed....

>>554334597just make sure his opinion of you doesn't drop
>>554334285because he looks like a crackhead otherwise
>>554334597ogres are unique diplomacy wise, if you are at least neutral they usually never break a treaty with you unless you do something to them first or hit very low reliability
>>554327858Alright, i'll see how it goes. Are Bow Ushtabti any good? How do I use them? Checkerboard? And regular ushtabti should be used like trolls in a goblin army right? Just to support your main line?
>>554334725>>554334919Cool, thanks. What about non-ogres by the way? I've had war declared on me "randomly" but so far no treaty doublecrossing unless my reliability got low
>>554335224if you're not at war or lost a lot of relative power, chances of getting a war increase. also, take note of the factions' personality in the diplomacy screen
>>554335026bows are your only good shooters and they are comparable to ogre leadbelchers, good against either infantry or large monsters. They can also be used to handle low tier infantry in melee if they are out of ammo or its just wolves/furies/menace belows attacking themRegular ushabti are good at combat in general and can be your main unit. Their combat animations let them easily handle anti large infantry. You typically route the infantry first and have them gang up on large units, only other monsters that have anti large are a threat to them.
I saw someone explain this the other day but I don't recall. +50% armorpiercing damage is the base armorpiercing damage of the unit x1.5 (making it useless on low AP dudes essentially) or is it "50% of the damage turns armorpiercing" or what?I'd assume the first one right? But then things like deathblow makes me kinda stumped, if the lord/hero has no real AP like some seem to
beating wurrzags basic ass army was a challengethis was an ambush in enemy territory for the +10MA bonus
the Vampire Counts endgame crisis only spawns armies in Drakenhof, Mousillon and Kemmler's spawn location right? Nothing at Mannfred's spawn in the Southlands, Nagasshizzar and the like?

>>554339778Just use one, who cares if they're good or not
What unit in Warhammer 3 is considered the Nodachi Samurai from Shogun 2? Ridiculously high damage but will fucking die if sneezed on.And another question I have is why should I use Skaven Slaves over Clanrats to soak up damage?
>>554339778they're aggressively alright, not nearly as killy as its fellow tier 5 constructs but decently tanky and bound spells are always nice ot have. They're tankier and can hold up the frontline better but your infantry is already decently tough so it's better to focus on stuff that can kill shit fasterthat said it is indeed cool as fuck so use it if you wanna, it's not gonna ruin your game or anything
>>554339778no, they're midbut do you have to minmax like some au-tist?
>>554340007cheaper, more entities, both rout at the same speed. clanrats with shields are preferable, if you go against lots of ranged i guess.
>>554339778those are a super lategame unit their building gives them ward save for each one you construct and before that they are a sort of magic support for your lich priests that provide spell intensity and can cast a few spells, tomb kings single entity constructs are very specialized at a role and the titan is a sort of generalist who requires you to have stacked his ward save building a lot before using him
>>554340328wait the building gives them ward save? do the sphnixes get buffs too?
>>554340249What about the first question?
>>554340851skaven weapon teams, dwarven slayers, chariots if you forget about them for one second
>>554340007>What unit in Warhammer 3 is considered the Nodachi Samurai from Shogun 2? Ridiculously high damage but will fucking die if sneezed on.Slayers of all sorts.

>>554347513nigga, you just dumb.
>>554347660it's pretty fucking good, to put it lightly
>>554347956Not at all, I just take it to assume that things are consistently worded most of the time, consistent to an autistic degree rather. So if the "affects units if" area does not say "enemy combatants" I assumed your guys would get affects by some part of the spell, is all. My bad.

This is Total War... not Total Trade.
>>554355027Uhh.. so what?They are your tools. Who cares for the shitty floating island.
>tzar guard w*men have no shields and have middling amounts of armorHow do people field armies with these as their main infantry, anyway?
>>554356640You lose all your patron seats.>>554355703They can do pretty well these days. Before 7.0 they got reamed every campaign tho.

>>554355752For those who don't understand this image:>one legion on howling rock.>make reinforcing armies in encamped stance to push them away. (Those chorf stacks will have a nasty time taking it away from me since they can only field 4 stacks of thier own per battle, + the home field advantage I have)>If it looks like they're far enough from an attacking point, switch the reinforcement armies to ambush stance to look like they can beat me with sheer numbers. They march in, but can't close the distance. Meaning they'll be dicking around in my territory.>Have Invocation of Ursun apply attrition, wont be much per turn, but they spend quite few turns in my turf so the casualties will be significant.>Won't attack me because now their armies are all busted up >repeat until armies are dead or have more likely fucked off.I'm going to slowly 6 chorf stacks while doing jack shit.
so uhwhy the fuck do TK and VCoast not have their final campaign battles in IE? Black Pyramid and Amanar capture respectively. You know, the whole thing their campaign mechanics lead towards.
>>554357001Mmm.. yeah those really are not important anyways. I took over half of the map with my elven bois and left ulthuan to rot.
Why is the enemy dwarf I just killed so perfectly symmetrical
>>554357482Wait for the nagash dlc NIGGA
>>554357651how is that even relevant here? that stuff was already there in WH2 mortal empires, they just didn't port it for some reason. You seriously think they'll do it for that dlc? Seriously??
>>554336990How did you kill Wurrzag himself, the goblin hero and the giant?
>>554357145Ice Guard become pretty insane once you get their buffsLots of armour-piercingDamage reflectionFrostbiteMagical AttacksSolid melee statsGood armourFew armies could defeat Katarin and 19 Ice Guard
>>554357572You played like shit, let your home get burned. Your wives raped, your brothers slain. And didnt even get to play with your units at full capacity and economy gimped.
Valkia is kinda fucking scary to fight as lizards, the usual T-Rex goon squad tactic doesn't work as well against an anti-large infantry sized LL that's also really fucking strong
>>554358002*walks in circle for 10mins*I defeated your army.
>>554357876the skink chieftan hero took down wurrzag and the hero, the other skink units just skirmished the giant until deadand thats after blobbing everything together with tiktakto and nuking the greenskins from orbit
>>554358131Why should I care again?Not my problem they die. I got my aislinn stack with 15 sister of avelorn. Don't need anything else.
>>554358002Hm fair point, they at least have a research to increase their armorI was mostly worried about trying to use them as frontline and them just dying, especially shieldless

>>554355009...I'm not a drawfag, does this art really take that long to make to varant a 700-850 EUR price? That's a slightly over minimum wage monthly salary in my Europoor country.
>>554361373Just use AI.
>>554361373>850 bucks for a pngholy disposable income
>>554361637saar
>>554361637I'm not thinking of commissioning, I just looked at profile to see what WH art they did and saw that.I heard our drawfag Mice did comms for like 15-25$ (granted he does use a cartoony art style which is simpler) so I was surprised it went up to almost a thousand bucks. I thought it would be in the 50-150$ range
>>554361373go to sleep, it's late>>554362074>I thought it would be in the 50-150$ rangeit used to be, 10-20 years ago

>>554362768I kek'd
SOON TM
>>554363362Why tho
>>554361373>Artniggers try to charge that much for a commission and wonder why people just use AIUnless that motherfucker is actually breaking out the oil paints and canvas and then mailing that shit to you when its finished. Trying to ask for 850$ as a commission is genuinely insane.
>>554361373Is this shit at least a physical art piece and not just digital art?
>>554363689You can request NFT too, that's more permanent that the physical version
>Play Wood Elves>Enemy has a ridiculous amount of cavalry as Bretonnia>I only have 3 Spears>Instead of trying to swarm the enemy all around, I decided to set up a shield wall around my archers and have my 1 unit of Dryads assist one of my spear units while my 3 Wild Riders flanked from behind>Somehow won with only 3 Spears against 7 or more cavalry from BretonniaHow the fuck?
>>554364208>3 spears>shield wall around my archers>3 sides... triangle...skaven...
>>554351453where is the Slaanesh head?
>>554361373Overpriced as fuck. It's good quality, but not a masterpiece like it's an extremely 1:1 quality oil painting. But given that the artist has those prices and gets commissions, people are willing to pay.I've seen that Mice's stuff is reasonably priced (unless you request ratfaggotry), since the style is not really complexOut of morbid curiosity, are there people that would pay for somewhat quality MS paint looking shit like this >>554355307 from our other drawfag, since I've seen worse looking styles like Raszard get comms
Will this be accurate?
>>554364943>Lion murdering random chaos-tainted civilians seems about right
>>554364943Iron Harvest 2 will flop because it doesn't have Eldar and Imperial Guard TW40k will be a smash it because it doesthe dawn of war community is already in full panic mode especially after TCALUK announced they reached 1 million wishlists, their fear is palpable
>>554363470you dont have to pay it the reason they charge it is because people will pay itAnd no the shiny, uncanny valley AI garbage isnt a replacement for art from an artist you like
>>554364926>Out of morbid curiosity, are there people that would pay for somewhat quality MS paint looking shit like this >>554355307 # from our other drawfagI'm that anon and let's be real that isn't worth money lolI just draw sloppy lineart in Kleki and paint bucket it in, no shadows/shading etc. And it's not really consistent quality. I draw it with PC's mouse I don't even use a drawing tablet. Not a dedicated drawfag, just do it for fun sometimes.
>>554365624Dawn of war is busy battling lego batman rn.
>>554365951if that's the case I'm rooting for Lego Batman it looks awesome
>>554365624If TW40K doesn't base its gameplay around Apocalypse scale conflicts, then what's the point?
>>554366243Never played those lego games but apparently they are high quality shit.But like.. I'm not playing lego games, kek.
>>554357482small indie company please understand
>>554364943>TopOnly lategame mappainter gigachads will be doing this, and that's if tw40k will be anything like tww3, which is unlikely.What's more likely to happen is 12 unit dreadnought armies fighting 12 unit hive guard armies. for about 20 turns...and then the campaign is over.DoW4 will be dogshit. DoW never got better after DoW soulstorm.
>>554365906Nah didn't ask if it was objectively worth being paid overall (I wouldn't charge for it either though yours looks good for MS style art to be fair.). Just wondering would there be an audience for that if it was cheap, considering there are people who pay for stuff that looks pretty ugly in terms of the art style which your stuff actually manages to mog. That if someone set up comms for MS art that he could make side money with it, given the market.
>>554365863There's also people who pay women to shit on them. Just because its something you want doesn't mean I cant call you an idiot whos wasting money. Hell going by porn. I literally just wacked off to blender animations a guy makes who I could actually commission right now for an animated loop for around 300 Euros (about 350 dollars)I understand paying for something specific from someone whos art you like. Though when you actually understand the value of what's being offered. charging 850 dollars for a random still image is fucking insane.
>>554366764Well I guess hypothetically anything would be possible if the right people come across it, since there are people who pay for all sorts of shit.Though I'm not gonna find out, since I'm not gonna try it.

>>554367656He's got the mortis engine effect, enormous health pool and heals. The fucker does huge damage. His spells are a but subpar but he cool. Only demon prince worth getting.

I'm trying out The Old World for the first timeRecommended campaigns?
>>554369267The Old World Classic just got updated, so play that if you want better turn times, also Belegar, since Karak Eight Peaks is actually 8 settlements where dwarfs, skavens and greenskins fight over
>>554369267Karl FranzAvoid Bretonnia and Kislev, they are baby-mode easy.
>>554366291I hate how GW nerfed the size of the emperor titan. I distinctly recall them being nearly mountain sized, now they're barely bigger than a warlord (who also got nerfed in size)
>>554369458Is Old World Classic a smaller map?
>>554365951Dawn of War 4 already looks like another DoW3 tier flop. The graphics looks even uglier somehow, everything looks washed out.
>>554365863>And no the shiny, uncanny valley AI garbage isnt a replacement for art from an artist you likeI've seen AI coomers on WoW general discussing artist prompts/models so I guess it can replicate some styles well
>>554369791It doesn't have the chaos realms or the Darklands, so yes
Bois I'm a little afraid I won't be able to run 40k.
>>554369267Beastmanii or Nakai are the only ones I could stand for more than 10 turns since every settlement you unlock means like 3 more fucking enemy faggot settlements that can attack you at literally any time. You really discover how tailored the experience is in TWarhammer compared to old games by playing TOW.
>>554371926it runs on the switch
>>554371926Just pay for Cloud Computing, it's the future :)
>>554372164I can't.. geforce now has a 100hrs limit and I play like 200hours a month.>>554372152No it doesn't.
what's a fun gun campaign? I already played ikit and grombrindal
>>554372880
>>554373097>over 20 usdsorry babylonian n worder
>>554373296Uh sister... your creamAPI?
>>554372880harkon, noctilus or cylostra are good for gun campaigns (aranessa just takes sartosa units since they're WAY better) but they're actually pretty challenging. Chorfs are good for gun campaigns. Elspeth is a pain early on imo but also wrecks shit.
>>554373334It fascinates me that so many people would use that.I'd never let anything funny play with my steam account.
Best part of playing against the undead is you can manually play battles and not worry about units getting away
>>554374540But your screenshot clearly shows tons of them are getting away unless they were in force march or retreated once.
>>554370054>>554365951>>554365624>>554364943I have no desire to see DOW4 flopping, but if I had to choose one 40k game to succeed it had to be TW40K, mostly because I know it will have the longest mileage.I kinda feel bad for Iron Harvest devs, but TW40K has been in development since 2022, I think that CA was the original project here, not DOW4
Can the AI make an army that can kill ghorst's 19 zombies or is it stillImmortal?
>>554373638>scared of an ini file changing the game's DLC check from "no" to "yes"
>>554370054The devs behind this made a mid RTS, you cannot seriously expect something serious and good from themSince there are no more other RTS developers its understandable that James Workshop didn't want to go back to Relic who almost killed the IP - and they know it too Even if Blizzard Activision were still making *craft games they'll fuck up Dawn of War too
>>554376885Yes.My steam account is the most valuable thing I own. I'm not taking the tiniest of risks.
>>554376283Scariest thing is chorf mortars or waywatchers, iirc you need your zombies in melee - but iirc I was using Singe's Lord Skills cheat and I can't recall if it was that one or vanilla that gave hunger (regen in melee) for zombies faction-wide. It still makes me laff remembering a battle I had>master necro lord>vamp hero>1 unit of grave guard>rest zombies>attack t5 greenskins city>only unit to lose a single unit: grave guard wiped out completely>zombies and chars had full healthEither way, once you take out Drazoath's black fortress and it's prototype mega-mortar city it's entirely feasible to win the campaign without losing a single entity similar to that one radiantash did with Drycha and treemanii.
>>554376283I have seen a chorfs army with 12 dread quakes that would probably do it
>>554377935>>554377998Hm.. I'm not so sure I am afraid if mortars. Those are slow and can be emptied. Unless he is the attacker, then he starts moving in aggressively and that's no fun.If tamurkhan brings all his heroes so he gets like 5 mortis engines.. that sounds scarier to me but I dunno if he ever does.
>>554377263It's existed for ages at this point anon. Valve doesn't care. The only thing that will get your steam account banned in that way is fraud.
So are norsca just turbo cucks or something? Easily rolling over for the latest daemon that comes to town?
>>554370054>>554375869>>554377187You know what what game I think is a good successor to DoW? Gladius.>inb4 not a rtsYeah, but it's fast paced enough, customizable, heavily moddable and already boasts around 9+ factions. I never got how as DoW progressed past soulstorm we were given less, but somehow, someway, we liked it more. The turn based allows bigger battles to be handled better by both an AI and a human imo
>>554379296Even if the chances are close to bon existent, I just wanna. Not like I need it anyway. I own Stellaris but when I wanna play it I load up my good ol fitgirl repack. That has all the dlcs.For total war I own em all anyways.
>>554379604I have NEVER heard of this, weird
Between the new slaaneshi campaigns, which is the better of the two? Seems Dechala got the most love in terms of mechanics and the new LH seems to benefit her army specifically with marauders.
man the tutorial is actually pretty long, was not expecting that, the map is also looks good
>>554380372>is also looks goodFUCK
>>554380564Saar...
>>554380372The tutorial is cool, the first campaign follows up on it tooEpic
>>554380764Stop shortening Sartosa
man... playing slaanesh for the first time and the faction is kinda scary...
>>554366764I've actually done one (1) commission before.Granted, that was for a Space Station 13 sprite, but hey. Made a fiver off of it.
>>554381784It clearly stands for Saarnesh. They are all about bobs and vagene and groping and rape.
>>554382070It was way spookier with the storeslem mod, reskinned a bunch of units/heroes/lords to be way more horrifying, can't find it on the steam workshop anymore tho unfortunately.
*clicks on you*How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>554383831yeah I just looked and it appears to have been taken down, must have been 2 spooky or booby. do you have any screenshots though?
>gave Kairos 20 Chosen and 10 Mutaliths to fight Oxyotl>check back 5 turns later>he took 2 cities but lost all the mutaliths and only has a couple chosen leftCome the fuck on man. I know Kairos is dumb but these AR cheats for oxyotl are fucking retarded. He didn't even fight oxyotl himself, I cleared the main army twice.
Haven't played Kislev in ages. Is there a reason why my orthodoxy support is stuck at 100 out of 100 or are my eight gorillion cheats breaking something again?
>>554384523Kairos is in an alliance with you which neuters his military strength against enemy ai
>>554384653Where did I say I have an alliance? Also am pretty sure that's only in WH2
>>554384525are you gaining a boon every single turn? it does do that when you have enough supporters gained each turn
>>554385000Nope, just stuck thereI have no mods that directly change Kislev but I guess I really just need to get rid of some of the clutter
>>554383001Based, draw moar
all of these men have a boner
Dwarf bros, how do you build your mid-late army against high elves/wood elves? I am just about finished up against the dark elves, norsca and chaos that decided to fuck with me as grombrindal, I havent had a chance to fight them yet in my campaigns as ive mostly played order.recommendations for a first time chaos playthrough would be appreciated
What do I do now?
>>554379604because base building is a meme, sc2 is the only one where they have something with base building and has solidified itself as the defacto base builder
Total War: The Lord Of The Marines
Why do I always get the best screenshots?
>>554387354Depends how the AI builds their armies, the trouble with the elf armies is that basic spears + archers are pretty strong, the rest of their roster is specialized and easy to krump in the wrong matchups (tree spirit units are pretty tanky regardless tho). It's difficult to recommend going for a ranged battle vs helfs/welfs, but it's probably the best bet. If the AI builds like 10 bladedancers or white lions or hawk riders, your ranged army can very easily wipe it out. If they go spears/trees + archers, it's a toughie. I think you'll have to rely on quarrelers/thunderers having bronze shields and armor and march into range under fire. basic slayers might do ok since you really need disruption and they've got some missile block, probably your best option for the role. Maybe 1 or two doomseekers/hammerers for magic attack that you hold back and throw at any tree units that get close? I'm not much of a dawi player so hopefully someone else has a better suggestion.
>>554363362Canon
>>554379604Gladius is extremely underrated - it's not perfect, but I've dumped hundreds of hours into it, which is somewhat rare for me
>>554387354Shitloads of artillery and corner camp
>>554380309pretty fun, they gave it out for free a while backdlc has piled up and it's all become rather expensive though
>>554379604A turn based 4x game is absolutely not a dawn of war successor in any universe.
HASHUT HASHUT HAHSUT!
>>554387354>spoilerThere are like 8 chaos factions. Elaborate
>>554357650Being uneven would be a grudge
>>554351453If Nurgles Pet Rat is a chaos god.Why isnt there a rat head on Archaons mount????
>>554387354Irondrakes Doomstack will rape them. SEM? The Trollhammer will shred them, characters? Grombi can fight them when properly equipped, archers? Low entities and high armor units like Irondrakes can tank them.
>>554391983He just rejected his blessing
TW40k - how will vehicles work in melee range? iirc older versions of the tabletop could get a bit wonky - get a unit of boyz in melee range, and the tanks can't fire at anything far away, or tanks could just flatten any units, etc. I'm just wondering - will tanks/trukks etc be able to mulch chaff by running them over, potentially invalidating melee infantry builds, or will they lamely bump into them? Steam tanks are a bit on the lame side but understandably so, even chorf vehicles would give me worry if TW40k exactly copied them over.
>>554387354Artillery.Trollhammer torpedos for cav and dragons.Ironbreakers for infantry Helf infantry cant beat them in time before their army explodes from your missiles.I wouldnt bother with Gyros unless you want to watch them the whole battle. If you have all the missile resistance from tech feel free though
>>554392160>even a WHORE like Archaon wont take Ratto blessingGrim
>>554389397Anon, snip & sketch?
>>554392395he spat on the horned rat actually
>>554392186If I had to guess, id say most tanks will work kind of like the war wagon. With the main cannon shuting down but some of the sponson weapons still shooting into whatever has them bogged down. Things like trukks would be more akin to a chariot, and could even have the wrecking ball on it
>Turn 60 as Wood Elves >I still haven't revived a tree despite confederating most of the Wood Elf factions>Have Wood Elves, Bretonnia, and Ogres in my armyI think I miss the early game

>>554396821>2 shugengans fuck[...]t Skarbrand hard>Had to pull [...] out.HOT!
>>554361320God i love DrunkRembrancer's art
>>554397184
>>554225660Their stats are pretty much equal with longbeards. They arent intended to be your t5 lineholders. Buffing even more t2 units to chosen-tier would only degrade the game further, especially since you already have high tier lineholders in the form of Tzar Guard.
>>554396821>Shugengans>Fighting back against anything tougher than geriatric old men>Wrecking SkarbrandH O W ? ! ? !
>>554397776Tzar guard are shock infantry.
>>554397876Well it's a little complicated.So.. shugengans on horses are tiny fuckers. I camped em at the reinforcement border where both shugengans where clumped together inside super tight blocks of infantry.Skarbrand with his weird ass attack animations goes there to hit em, hits one, now is 5 streets over inside another infantry blob out of which he can a rough time moving out of.. So I send him to attack again, he overshoots, murdering 50 dudes on the other side of the battlefield, now is stuck and and slowly waddles back out of infantry blobs..Meanwhile the shugengans are stationary on horses and just so lil sword swingies that never miss cause they don't do running animations that sends em to nirvana.And with their magic attacks and MA high enough to surpass Skarbrand's MD, they got tons of swings in against him.As you can see, Skarbrand was at half health. They shat on him so hard he couldn't heal back.And using his enrage for double damage doesn't work in blobs cause he randomly goes smashing other stuff then.

>>554224854https://www.youtube.com/shorts/InYsZtD5jLoAfter all these years, I didn't know this was possible.
>>554392186Depends on the vehicle.My guess is most will work like giant chariots running shit over and others will have melee weapons or short ranged ones like flamethrower for prolonged engagement.

The demon prince is losing to a regular bloodthirster..I can't man..
>>554401335a bloodthirster absolutely should beat anything slaneeshi in straight combat
>>554401398Yes, but not a fucking demon prince.. u know.. the ultimate thing..
>>554401429not really? they're not any more "ultimate" than greater demons
>>554401481They have mortal skills, brains, thinking and whatnot. Sure, a greater demon has great intelligence too but they should be better than a regular greater demon. Look at be'lakor.
>>554401194Can't wait to see how they butcher nippon.
>>554401549be'lakor is to demon princes what Skarbrand is to bloodthirsters, he's a different level entirelyand even then he gets his ass beat on regular basis
>>554229628there's definitely a vision here but I'm not sure it's more fun than the glorious broken mess that we got(esp. in wh2)if you look back across the sands of time you can *kind of* see that something like this was *kind of* the vision for Warhammer 1. the pacing of the Old World campaign suggests that you were supposed to kill Manfred and maybe be done unifying the Empire when Chaos showed up on turn 130 and you were definitely supposed to have a bunch of tier 5 crap by then. and to be fair when you're a new player there are a lot of things that might make you assume that you're supposed to play like that, especially in the first two games (holy fucking amortization time on income buildings, Batman) but it's also apparent that CA didn't really understand how people would play the game because you can blitz to Manfred in thirty turns pretty easily using a stack of crossbows, a wizard, and a mortar. or just by using two stacks of Swordsmen standing next to each other lol (this is why Supply Lines got added and were brutal in wh2). at which point you probably have nothing above t3 other than the Reiksguard you started with. they had an opportunity to try and redesign the game to slow the player down, but most of the cheese that allows blitzing is stuff that's embedded pretty deeply in the game's systems. so rather than dial down player power level, they just let the AI send full stacks from World's Edge directly to your location starting on turn 10 and said "lol deal with it fucker"
>>554401636Speaking of Skarbrand, it's time to slaughter some sissy ass
>>554401636Skarbrand is a retard who managed to find the one combat related way to piss off his god.
>>554400808honestly this is probably the worst time to play Coast, they're kinda in a shit spot and End Times dlc is the best chance they ever had to get at least a little updates
>>554354469>>554353376Lizardmen? pfft. move over. what a cringe name for a factionyeah it's time to play some... uh... SERAPHON
>>554400218Someone answer me?
whose child will you have /twg/
At first I was a little afraid Skarbrand would have issues with her cause her stats are outrageous. But then he slammed her for 2.1k damage.
>>554401142ai behavior can be manipulated to a huge degree when you start noooticing things
Devastating Flanker.. on Skarbrand..He's gonna hit some 400MA on charge.
He's coming back, right?
>>554400364Skaven. Weak frontline infantry, specialized ranged units.
>>554402296They're still called Lizardmen in AoS. All the names in WHFB are still allowed.>>554402605Tiktaq'to is the perfect twink for meAnd Mannfred isn't broke, nor a manlet. You should've put Tretch, Belegar or Skarsnik here.
>>554401142Same, AI never blobs around heroes, always phases their dogs and chariots through my spears/halberds, flyers always weave and dodge my arrows while homing in perfectly onto artillery while never truly landing but still attacking somehow so my melee units can't counterattack them...Skill issue I guess but I'm always getting fucked on the campaign dice roll and all my friendly factions (not allies or vassals) ALWAYS get crushed even when in the top strenght ranks...The game probably just hates me
Say, tips for playing Beastmen? Is Taurox still the best choice? how good are the new units for them?
>>554405121Mannfred is morally bankrupt even by evil standardsand his name sounds like manlet
how important is the shadows of change dlc for tzeentch and cathay?
>>554405340>tips for playing Beastmen?the usual stuff, rush a second army>Is Taurox still the best choice?yes, but morghur is also pretty fun>how good are the new units for them?monogod gors are decent, especially khorngors give you decent anti-large early on. SEM are pretty great all around.
>>554405340>Say, tips for playing Beastmen?Merge damaged units together, trade units around so all armies can recruit whenever possible and always keep teams together in 2-4s to be overpowered.
>>554348298https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3588380343don't assume any of the tooltips are correct, they are very often either outdated, wrong, or like in this case just confusing. that applies to all tooltips, not just the spell informations. the a mod corrects (almost) all tooltip descriptions. one modder can do it in his free time, but ca can't.
>>554405340Always go Taurox. Cylostra is your biggest threat early game, so try to take her out with an ambush when she’s in forced march. New units are ok. Cockatrice is bugged and can’t be recruited, but the chimera is better anyway. Preyton is meh. Marked gors are good but not really worth spending dread on
>>554405982small british company

Remember when the pro way to play the game was rebellion farming? We'd be here in /twg/ chatting about how to sow discontent and plummet our public order as fast as possible.

It's a bit of whiplash playing a non-Chaos faction and actually having to think about what I do in battles.
managing items when you have a dozen armies is such a pain in the ass

Waiting for 40k news is painful.
Finding Warplock Jezzails are consistently killing more than Ratling Gunners. Strange. Last time I played Skaven back in Warhammer 2 the ratling guns would easily kill way more than the jezzails, leaving jezzails just as anti-SEM.
>>554413864Humans are unwashed filfth. Lizardmen wash at least once a day.
>>554414171Range and rate of fire mattersRatling Guns fire in bursts but then reloads too long, Jezzails will keep firing every few seconds
>>554414025Just like the tabletop
>>55441402540kek is pain.
Waiting for Bretonnia rework news is painful.
Fuck. Letting Vilitch live into his level 40ies was a terrible idea. He just cant be dealt with by Seaguard Dragonship stack. He literally solos with army abilities and his spells and barrier.

Should Aislinn swap to sisters instead of Seaguard once you can afford it? Or does he buff them enough to be better? I like Sea elementals for frontline with their panic spawn of oceanids and perfect vigor unbreakable combo.
favorite tww ost?
>>554415778I never needed it. With all the range buffs they can get to like 220+ range. Oceanids in my opinion are better than Elementals to support your frontline. Merwyrm absolutely fucks too, should have 1 in your army.
>>554415867dark elves
>>554415867high elves
>>554415960Oceanids are "enough" but sea elemental has fuckton more MD and since they literally spawn oceanids near death. Yeah sign me up.Merwyrm is cool, but like Dread saurian, its just overkill and costs an arm and a leg.
does the "sleek" trait for slaanesh stack?
I can't imagine playing Bretonnia or any faction near them without cheats
I need some advice, /twg/.Lore wise, who on the order side is most likely to go scorched earth and fight everyone, everywhere and pursue total domination. I want a Rome style expansion not just mindless monsters and barbarians shitting the place up.Every order LL in my mind is restricted to their traditional borders with the exception only being those in personal grudges vs another LL or race but even then that is more of an expedition, like batman vs lardarse goblin guy.I have done the destruction thing of >"Burn down the whole world or conquer it for personal/racial glory or chaos"and I am bored.I have a few candidates if this helps get my point across;>EmpireVolkmar for the obvious 'THE WORLD MUST CONVERT TO SIGMARISM OR ELSE'>LizardmenKroq'gar - Cleanse the world etcThat is all I can think would be reasonably expansionist and could lore wise 'unleash' their faction for conquest of 'new' lands.
>>554416202Yes. Its especially hilarious when you manage to get 19 sleek heroes on exalted chariots.
>>554416202>Has never played slaaneshWhat is the sleek trait?
>Realization that Throgg has fucked his way through Empire, Kislev, Bretonnia AND taken entire norsca>Its turn 50What the absolute fuck. I was baffled when he landed at Ulthuan with 6 armies of level 30+ Lords. That Quasi Waagh really made him into an ungodly threat.
...could be worse
>>554416676Weakest Vashnaar Ive ever seen. He usually rocks tons of chosen.
>>554416462High elves
>>554416676>that VashnaarSurely he got wiped and had to re-recruit, right? He never outright spawns without half a stack of Chosen.
>>554416462Imrik taking over the old world is plausible.Dwarfs(minus Malakai) taking over the world through "settling groodges" excuse is already build in their mechanic.All liggers can do the "great plan told me that you shouldnt exist".Kislev and Empire has the religious fanatics who want to spread the good word with Kostaltyn and Volkmar.Cathay WILL grow larger.WEs and DEs are not pure order but they can easily justify pacifying(WEs) enslaving(DEs).
>>554416609a broken as fuck trait. Gives your army +5% speed, gives the hero glorious charge and wayfarer
>>554416978Ok, who specifically. >Teclis is a fag who wants to work with everyone else>Batman by definition is defensive other than greenskins and maybe malekith and dark elves if you add in old lore but that is pretty much it. Unless they and on Ulthuan he doesn't care.>A fucking leafOne track mind and boner for delves that's it.>AllarielleLiterally the definition of order only. No memes about SoK do not count.>TyrionSame as above>ImrikKind of but not really, he is just spoiled brat going out on his own for fun and dragon pussy.>AislinnI am considering him but he feels like the only one and even then - why would he be up a mountain killing dwarfs with his naval troops to expand the High Elf empire?
>>554416462Durthu's bitter and pissed at everyone, including the wood elves. He wants everything that isn't a tree or woodland creature or wood elf to die and he doesn't trust wood elves anymore.Thorgrim wants to restore the dwarf empire to its height and repay all the grudges that literally every race on the planet have accrued to a greater or lesser degree.Mazdamundi wants to destroy anything on the planet that is not part of the great plan and he wants to put any of the wayward order races back in their rightful places.
>>554417295Literally all of them>we can't let these minor races to continue degrading the world, is time to retake it
>>554417201>DwarfsWho is the most "Fuck ALL non dwarfs and ALL treaties time to kill everyone"?Its not Thorgrim that I am sure of. White dwarf is one track mind anti elf.Cant decide between Ironfist but slayers are more like barbarians rather than Roman cohorts.Ironbrow is the only one I would consider to fit the bill but barely.
>>554417213doesn't that have a soft cap kinda? there's a point at which speed stat doesn't actually help because unit movement animations can't be any faster
>>554415867Lizardmen, but pretty much all the combat music for the Warhammer2 music is good. 1 & 3 is slop. And that's not to mention how better the other Total War OSTs are.
>>554417573Thorek is the boomer mowing his grass and drinking a white monster. He's sick of dwarven jobs and clay being taken by other races. However, I like to think in my headcannon that he has a buddy cop relationship with Kroq-gar and a soft spot for the liggers.
>>554417201DE are a chaos faction
So I am gonna roll between;>Aislinn - Expansion mechanics are baked in, obvious choice for HE.>Thorgrim - anon is right his book and being central of the dwarfs lends to a Brutii campaign>Kroq'gar - Fits what I am looking for right down to his scar leaders filling in as loyal generals commanding legions and lizards (other than dinos) literally are pre-Marian Romans.>Kostaltyn - Is not leaning on fanatic retards and can have an organisation of his forces that is reminiscent of legions unlike Volkmar who is more a crazed preacher with miles of hanger on fanatics following his crusade hoping for salvation through death.Need one more to roll than I can austically rename and track individual units and organise them into 'Legions'
>>554417573Thorek > slayer king (cant remember his name) > BelagarThese are the most butthurt towards basically everyone.
>>554418006DEs are the most successful chaos killers in wh fantasy.
>>554418291That is wrong though. That would be Chaos itself.
>>554417573>Fuck ALL non dwarfs and ALL treaties time to kill everyoneNone of them in the game are really like that. Thorgrim's closest just because it's his personal mission to "repay every grudge", but the dwarfs have been friends and allies with the men of the empire for thousands of years at this point, a friendship that started between a high king and the father of the empire and its people, that counts for a lot and would likely see thorgrim offering very generous terms for grudge repayments and also making grudges against them low priority.
>>554408592I should get a mod that makes rebellion battles challenging
>>554418291>>554418351>DE are a chaos faction>DE are the most successful chaos killers>Chaos is the most successful chaos killerSeems like none of this is contradictory.
Maybe the real Chaos are the friends we made along the way?
>>554417753
>>554415254Repanse is a natural cumdump for BNC
Fuck it.Aislinn 0-2Thorgrim 3-5Kroq'gar 6-7Kostaltyn 8-9
>>554419459The time has come for the founding of the Patriarchal Empire of Ursun.
>>554419459Those are some sad, boring picks
>>554418354not really how dwarfs work, a grudge is a grudge is a grudgethat said it's true that unless it's some particularly bad thing at least with most humans they'll first try to reason and settle things with gold. But if they get annoyed during the negotiation they'll come back with a throng and that's that.Doesn't mean they'll war with the whole empire over some individual grudges though, they'll be satisfied with revenge on the specific offending parties. It's not gonna turn into a Genocide Grudge like they have with greenskins
>>554415464w-what other modsI don't think there's a Repanse corruption mod?>>554419417I really hope you mean Norsca and not Nurgle
>>554419624Yes, dwarfs will negotiate how the grudge will be repayed if they like you, that's what I said.
>>554419624generally grudges between dwarfs are between individual dwarfs (but may escalate to entire clan feuds, etc)humans are the only other species this rule gets applied to (because sigmar was a friend to dwarfs), any other species (elves, rats, etc) has every member of it on the hook for every grudge against that race in the mind of a dwarf
>>554419836And my point is it's easy to make them NOT like you in particular even if broadly speaking they somewhat respect the Empire. There's that one story where dwarfs were hired to built a fort, realized they were short changed 2 coins, came back to ask for them, got laughed at and then came back to destroy the fort and kill everyone inside it. By their logic that's the only reasonable course of action.>>554420098Even then I think humans aren't always given this "mercy" either, I'm not sure how much dwarfs really give a fuck which random border prince raided them when they all act the same. They'd think twice before writing a grudge about the entirety of Bretonnia or Kislev though, even if they're not as kind as with Empire.
>>554420359Yes, negotiations failed so they killed the people who refused negotiations.
>>554420359>By their logic that's the only reasonable course of action.Are you implying its not? They stole that fort's construction from them, they robbed those dwarfs of their labor so the labor was taken backThere are plenty of human contractors who similarly start smashing up completed labor when the customer won't pay. If you agree that's reasonable then you're only quibbling about the price.
>>554420862yes, I think it's rather unreasonable to wipe out a town over a rounding error
>>554419824>w-what other modsThat beastmen mod. You know which one
I wish the southern realms mod that lets you play as NOT!Italy did not have a fucking cap on legionaries.
>>554421240I don't ;_;
>>554420640bro your cheats?
>>554421170It was for refusing to correct that rounding error. Not paying them after it was brought up turns it from an honest mistake, which the dwarfs sought to rectify in good faith, to a malevolent theft.The reasonable thing to do would be to compensate the people that had been short-changed, intentionally or not, for the full value owed.
Does a wurrzag campaign have any staying power? You seemingly get your best units right out the gate pretty much.
We need a rat thread
>Full high tier elf army>Enemy Ikit has 2 units of ratlings and slaves>AR: "Best I can do is pyrrhic victory"
>>554420640Is she the Trudeau of Fantasy?
>>554421712No we don't. No one cares, the furry invaders finally got bored. Dont bother posting in your discord for help raiding, I repeat, no one cares.
>>554421804>your discordBut I like rats, the spergs that cry about rats use a discord to raid this general
>>554421890Before Ikit came out, and the raids by furfags began, there was no anti ratfags. They are reactionary. You cunts are the cause. I remember almost everyone here posting how cool the trailer was with the bell sounding 13 times etc. Lore being discussed and NONE OF IT was involving sexual depravity because the race, writ large at every single point of its existence for 40 years has 0 sexual interest between the grotesque brood mothers spawning endless rats who cannibalise each other in the filth they are born into.Beastmeme coomers are tolerated because they have been mass rapists in lore, longer than most posters in this general have been alive.
>>554422297Who do you think you're fooling?
>>554421712someone should make a new thread then
Any campaign tips for Throt? Haven't played him since WH2. Dealing with Kislev and Malakai might be crazy. Who can I ally with? Throgg? Also, can I mutate allied recruited units?
>>554421804>>554421890>>554422297What's the discord group?

there is nothing more annoying than an "ally" swooping in to steal a settlement after you just finished dealing with the big strong army right next to it
Frankly I dont know how CE is going to do 40k, if nothing else because the imperium is way fucking over represented by GW. You can only push the civil war angle so far before it just becomes entirely ridiculous.Also like 50% of everything that comes from GW is focused on a single faction within a faction.
>>554423871Igonna be Space Marines vs Space Marines vs Space Marines vs Space Marine vs a xeno maybe
