SURPASSING!
Thanquol soon, friends!
>>565704138nagash would've brought himself back to lifewhy couldn't ghorsthuh?HUH???
So are they any good?
guy, very hard is too very hard for me.
>>565707040Then just play hard until you get better.
I cannot believe that it's 2026 and TWW3 still has not received a single nigger.
>>565705987
You little bitches vampires cunts and necrotards get bodied immediately within Nagash's presence, still your rotten tongues.
>>565707817it actually has, hidden in land shipsome modder made a unit out of them "Stevedores". I can't find which mods add them which is fucking annoyingalso huntsman generals are arabs
>>565707817Shh don't fucking jinx it
>>565709791>huntsman general are arabs???
I still can't believe we are getting 40KINO. Can't wait.
>>565710945>spiritseer standing in the middle of a blob of guardsmen, his 45 meter aura that gives a single wraith unit within that area +5 melee attack doing nothing while he swings his weapons and 3-5 guardsmen go flying only to stand back up and go back to blobbing him and trying to stab him with bayonets
>>565711470>Increases Lord's aura size by 25%>+1% to region income>+5 growth>-2 corruption>+5 leadership when attacking
>>565711470Actually they can revive a single wraith unit each turn so a 60 sec cooldown in TW terms.
>>565711987so they'll give "horrible regeneration" as a single use ability
Which is better?
>>565713353Right Toddy, left Franz.
>>565713560nyagreed
So when do you think 40k is launching?My bet is summer 2027.

>>565710945>no chaoswon't be playing. simple as
Lords that Nagash will be able to control:Arkhan the BlackVlad von CarsteinMannfred von CarsteinNeferata Luthor Harkon
>>565717541He can't control Ghorst. He's beyond his reach.
A reminder that Archaon is also receiving a rework alongside the End Times update.I wonder if he will be able to confederate Monogod lords...
>>565717791It would be funny if he could turn chaos LLs into LH for his own stack. 20/20 LL stack would be hilarious.
>>565717541Obviously everyone will have a rebelling dilemma
how come there are no cool female knights in warhammer fantasyNo, raypanse isn't cool
wish they just gave changeling normal base mechanics. I really like tzeentch and this ll but being stuck in creative mode is awful
>>565714531>Unit size, 1Unit size 3 unless you're playing on a potato.
there was a skaven follower that increased research rate or am i missremembering?
What does a guard getting banshee'd look like?
>>565720802I never really understood the point of research rate bonuses. Research generally take 3-5 turns, so increasing it by 1% isn't gonna do anything, unless you are so late into the game that you have 20 of those bonuses.
I am Rome's sword. Where is our empire?Weep not, mother Rome, again shall you prosper.A citizen of Rome I am, yet without an empire I am,In barbarians' blood shall Rome be reborn! The sands of Africa, with Vandals' blood, are turned red!Weep Gelimer, king without a kingdom,I am the sword of Rome,Belisarius! The gardens of Italy, with Goth's tears, are made fertile,Weep Goths, barbarians,I am the sword of Rome,Belisarius! The mountains of Lazica, with Sassanians' blood are turned red,Away, Khosrow, you mortal soul!I am the sword of Rome,Belisarius! The city is threatened with fire and sword,Remember Totila, how Rome is ancient,If you are a true king, destroy not our queen. The ices of the Danube, with Huns' blood, are turned red,Away, Zabergan, you are no Attila,I am the sword of Rome,Belisarius!
>>565721813you quickly shave of one turn then two and then you do one per turn. not very useful for best men, but great for rats.
>2 years ago CA acknowledged on the forum that slaanesh corruption is creating low framerates due to effect overuse>they have done nothing about it to this daylol
>>565722938It might be fixed with corruption overhaul - which if I remember correctly they said they want to update the corruption mechanic in general at some point. They're basically grouping similar problems together and are fixing them all in bulk.
>>565723881i also plan to land on the moon
>>565724184Always good to have goals, Anon. Wish you luck.
>>565722210In order to shave off 2/3 (from 3 turns to 1 turn) of a research time, you would need to stack 66 individual 1% bonuses, no? Usually by the time I have enough to see a 1-turn difference I'm already almost done with my research tree.
Of the 4 available factions, which one will be your main?
>>565724548i don't know where you get the 1% from. steal technology alone does 20-30%
>>565724682EldarWe voted for this even, /twg/ is Eldar general
>>565724682IGWe voted for this even, /twg/ is Human general
>>565724682I refuse to buy until they release the Votann expansion. For TRVE understanders of strategy.
>>565724682ORKSWE VOTED FOR DIS EVEN, /TWG/ IS GREEN GENERAL
thank god after the stream 40k looks so much better, what were they thinking with that first trailer?
>>565725264It was unironically AI generated.
>>565724682Eldar. That's the only reason this game is being made. SM trannies will fund my space nazis.
>>565724682These new Space Marine helmets looks so gay.
>>565725264They already delayed their announcements from that pathetic Total War anniversary, which they then proceeded to stretch over the year with nothingburger retrospectivesThen they couldn't even manage to get TW:40k on their event, despite them saying 2 titles will be announcedThey couldn't wait any longer, despite Med3 being in preproduction and TW:40K still being early in development. It's so early they didn't even have any Eldar models to use in a cinematic trailer which is why only Orks show up lol
You guys thought that Fantasy elf fags were bad? They were divided over Malekith but come 40k these autists will be a united front on /twg/. I expect a total Eldar takeover.
>>565724682no one gives a shit about 40k
>>565724682Orks
>>565726330holy kek do 40k piggies really pay for animation like this?
>>565726227trvke
>>565726330Humans manhandling orks when orks weigh like 5x as much and are pure muscle is always hilarious
>>565724682Right now, I'm feeling Orks the most.
>>565726421If there's a normal human that could do it, it'd be a Commissar
>>565726421
>>565726421green jobber cope
>>565724682what do you think
>>565726421a good bayonet is all you need to take down a slow weedy ork, guardsman's primer says so.
>>565727196I can't fucking wait to command legions of Guardsmen in line formation whilst my Basilisks nuke them on the approach!
>>565726330Those aren't even normal boyz but their special kommando. A single generic Commissar murdered almost a entire unit of the specialist lmao green is weak!
>>565726330aren't these dudes like in the far future? why are they using chainsaws and clubs?
>>565727196thank god these brave female guardmen btfo'd these stupid chud orks
>>565727196>Animating the lasguns to have recoil.
>>565727196>everybody wearing a facemask except the nigger
>>565724682Eldar > Orks > Guard >>>>>> spess murhinesLine up is too thin though. Will probably skip until the end of game 1 like I did Warhammer 1 so the good stuff is actually in. Imagine having to play Manfred day 1 instead of getting to start with based Vlad.
>>565728420>Imagine having to play Manfred day 1 haha
>>565728420Why would you play as anyone except Ghorst in TW1?
>>565728420>he didn't play Manlet day 1
>>565724682I think it's really funny that not a single person said Space Marines.
>>565706302Nagash can't do anything unless Arkhan does it for him. At least Ghorst had the decency to job to the Empire not a rat.
>>565728420>>565728614>>565728798I played like 99% of LLs in WH1-3 and I still haven't played Manfred, I played Kemmler and Vlad many, many times though.
I haven't played Counts at all. Or undead in general really..
>>565728298from my experience making simple mods for total war, the appearance of a unit is just a text file so you can also comment out the nig skin
>>565726330>>565727196I'm always impressed by the dedication of the warhammer community, this is actually pretty good for a fan animation!
>>565728614>>565728794>>565728798Real talk, Manfred would be a lot less hated if he still had hair and his classic Dracula look.
>>565729187You're missing out. They're really fun. Great combo of tarpit garbage, good anti-infantry, good cavalry, and good flyers.
>>565706779>Handgunners115 dps (large unit size)145 range>Great Cannons60 dps 450 rangeLong Rifles80 dps260 range They are essentially 2/3rds of a Handgunner unit with vastly longer range and shieldbreaker. While Cannons outrange them, I find Long Rifles more reliable damage dealers for focusing (fast) SEMs and cavalry since Long Rifles have significantly better accuracy and projectile speed. They also benefit from missile infantry techs which you usually pick earlier than artillery techs so they'll effectively deal more dps for larger part of the campaign than what it says on the tin. While you shouldnt go all-in on them, couple can be valuable in softening up the most dangerous enemy SEM/LL so your handgooners can finish the job. Especially valuable if target could otherwise just walk through your mainline.
>>565729286We know it is you, Manlet. Step away from the keyboard and maybe enjoy the spring sunshine.
>>565729314>good anti-infantry Like what? GG have Swordmen-tier stats only (armored), Wraiths melt unless you got specific LL buffing them and Horrors have shitty stats. Even Mortis Engine has been powercreeped hard by SEMs that also have the damage aura but arent worthless in melee>Good cavalryThat isnt AP so any new faction with their armored AP AL cavalry cucks themGood tarpits yes. Good fliers yes. Not much else sadly. As much as I like them they are non-reworked WH1 faction in WH3 environment.
>>565724682
>>565729314Maybe i'll try em, I just love order so fucking much.
>>565729848I wanna smooch her
>>565729996VCunts is pure order
>>565729286Would he though
>>565709791>ArabsThey mostly look like poorer cousins of Alan Rickman's Sheriff from Robin Hood, just with a hat. Not Arabic at all.>>565724682I don't know, if Space Marines are done very well then them, but I have a feeling it being tough to balance a race of what interviews implied will be Aislinns with super Ogre armies on launch, I will likely prefer playing Orks and Guard at the beginning. Once Chaos is in, they take the spot.
>>565718798>how come there are no cool female knights in warhammer fantasyhttps://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/The_Golden_Knight_Naryska_LeysaDoes she count?

>>565731883oh......
>>565732724Sis.. The LH is flc..
>>565731129They industrialized like we did irl, so they can live anywhere.
>>565724682Eldar, but not until they add more evil races into the game, at least Chaos and hopefully Tyranids.
>>565731129CA stopped caring about climate in DLCs with TW3.
>>565733260>Chaos>evilFrom my point of view it's the material world that is evil.
>>565724682It was originally going to be Eldar but the latest news is they won't actually be able to conquer territory, just complete missions/prophecies.
>>565727142>>565729848
>>565733709It's Oxyotl perfected.But yeah IG and Orks are the ones that will play like "traditional" TW. Eldar and Space Marines are experimental(read: won't be fun until game 3 / year 8)
>>565733572It's gonna be so annoying when this general gets chaos fans who unironically think their faction is morally grey and not pure evil.>Muh Khorne is the god of honorNo, he's a maniac who thinks its more honorable to kill a baby with your bare hands than use magic to defeat an enemy fighter
>>565733709Let's hope the craftworld will be more fleshed out than black arks.
>>565734939>5+ armor in siege defences

>>565729848>>565727142Someone needs to make a mod about her when the game is released
>>565729848>>565736560she looks like she loves humans
>>565733936From the sounds of it your Craftworld will just be an offmap capital where you do all your recruiting and tech progression. Their eco will be like a horde where you mainly make money by winning battles or completing campaign objectives so you'll just race from point of interest to point of interest pillaging as you go.
>>565735591One of the Warhammer+ short series; The Tithes - Episode 3
My biggest concern with 40k is that it will suffer from ETW syndrome where the individual planets are too small to be interesting campaign maps in a vacuum, but too isolated and self-contained to feel like an interconnected piece of a wider map. Expeditionary warfare is exponentially more complicated than just moving across land and the AI has always, always been bad at moving and managing forces across unconnected landmasses.I'm worried the campaign will quickly devolve into "focus all your assets on this planet to easily autoresolve crush everything the AI has there, then use the economic resources and total safety of controlling a world to scale out of control and trivialize the campaign" across an endless slop of procedurally generated campaign systems with only 4 factions.
>>565736560Outcasts aren't part of the standong craftworld forces.
>>565736560>Someone put a lot of effort to make this demon look attractive
>>565738468>paying attention to the 3d models in crpgsare you ok?
>>565734290The Blood Gorgons are objectively a greater force for good than the entirety of the Imperium put together.
>>565734290>No, he's a maniac who thinks its more honorable to kill a baby with your bare hands than use magic to defeat an enemy fighterThis is repeatedly confirmed to be nothing but in-universe Imperial propaganda. It was the Chaos Gods who helped Humanity survive the Age of Strife.
>>565729825>Shitty statsYou tire out the enemy with cheap zombies and then use the corpse carts for +5MA and perfect vigor while passively healing them with you vampires and necromancers. Grave guard can kill chaff forever and grave horrors are excellent against armor as long as they're fighting on top of infantry
>>565737280good thing for her that those guys went to the batman villain school of approaching the hero 1 at a time
>>565741615To be fair, they're zombies.
>>565741369but that's just WHFB chaos gods' depiction, 40k almost never portrays their positive aspects.>Chaos Gods who helped Humanity survive the Age of Strifelmao, remnants of DAoT civilizations survived through a variety of ways, even to the 42nd Millennium, IoM still find more human worlds.
>>565742038WHFB and 40k have the exact same Chaos Gods. As in "they are the same characters".
>Chaos is LE BAD!Biggest sign of a low IQ.
>>565742098But in WHFB clearly put more focus on a more nuanced take of their depiction. See in 40k where Khornate warbands will mainly be composed of raging berserkers, there are exceptions like the Blood Pact distinctively using actual tactics but that's just a single small warband. Where in WHFB there are a bunch of the northern tribes (Norscan, Kurgan, Hung, Tong, etc), with Norscan and Kurgan also worship a variety of deities, even the Khornate warband and their leaders are not just raging berserkers. The 3 universes (WHFB, 40k, AoS) shared the same patheon, yes, but the writers at 40k pretty much depict chaos in a different way.
>>565743501The Chaos Space Marines only act evilly because Humanity is evil in the setting. There are numerous good Chaos worshipping xenos species.
>The villains are LE MISUNDERSTOODThis is why Horus Heresy is filled with a bunch of Manchild and their daddy issues.
nurgle is good though
men are.. le bad
>>565743586There's only the greater good, mechs and blue waifus. CSM are just batteries for daemons.
>>565705910Its suddenly occurred to me that I promised some kickass Bretonnia concept art a few threads back and plum forgot about it.This is GW Veteran Dave Gallaghers treatment of the Bretonnians around 2004.It looks like they were going to put more focus on the Cult of the Grail but dropped a lot of it.Starting with something familiar
>>565746513Dave made up a couple variations on the Grail Reliquae concept that didn't make the final cut
>start epidemius campaign>lose first battle>stop playing
>>565746675This'uns my favorite
>>565746834This image implies the presence of a full-blown Bretonnian bureaucracy the nobility are not privy to.Also the presence of a church bondsman implies more levels of serfs and masters to Bretonnian society and usually implied
>>565746992There really did seem to be a push to flesh out the whole "Grail Cult" angle that just didn't come to fruition.Peasants can't worship the Lady directly so they use Grail Knights as intercessors like Christian Saints.
>>565746747Epidemius is them looking at Kugath and thinking "Hm, how can we make this even less engaging?".
>>565747191Reliquary Squires could have acted like a beefed up Squire/Grail Pilgrim hybrid
>>565747337That one guy hauling around a sword in a stone is probably my favorite.Dave was so close to inventing the Kirkhammer
>>565747482And just for fun, the original concept for the Mechanical Horse.I like it better than what we got desu.
Epidemius guide:Step 1: Pick EpidemiusStep 2: Build a barracksStep 3: Cancel a barracksStep 4: Open the plague menuStep 5: Create a plagueStep 6: Summon a Cultist Step 7: Infect the problematic armyStep 8: Attack the infected army with EpidemiusStep 9a: Autoresolve the battleStep 9b: Battle (manually)Step 10: Expand Epidemius' Empire
>>565747774>end turn simulatorThat sucks. Depending on the difficulty, attrition may actually be useless.

Finally managed to balance the budget. All it took was the majority of the mercenary army I was going to use to crush Gonatas' balls and retake Pella, but maybe since I've managed to sign a truce with Athens (who's allied to Ptolemy, who's at war with Gonatas), I'll be able to take a minute to consolidate and rebuild my treasury for another shopping spree of mercenaries?
Historylets and fantasykeks belong on /vst/
>>565748987I just hope they go to war with the Koinon Hellenon before they realise how fragile I am. Or at least come at me with a big enough force that my remaining elephants can cause a decisive chain rout.
>>565749241no one cares about 40k, chudly
>>565749430Med 3 will flop hard.
>>565746513>>565746675>>565746834>>565746992>>565747191>>565747337>>565747482I do not like brets, this furthers my apathy for them.
>>565749707The problem with Brets is they are a backwards looking faction with no future. Like the Empire is a late medieval faction with one foot in the Renaissance, so there is a future for them concept-wise. They can pull steam tanks, handgunners, and so on out of their ass. But where is Bretonnia's future? More knights, more peasants, more squalor.If I were put in charge of reworking Bretonnia's lore, I'd work on trying to bring their Arthurian aesthetic into the early Renessiance period. Like that Bretonnia has a choice, it can embrace the Empire's technology tree, or it can start to develop its own magic and traditions into something beyond just borrowed Wood Elf magics.
>>565750021Just go full Medieval with themFoot knights (sword and board, halberds, greatswords)Crossbowmen (with and without tower shields)more Men-at-arms, yeomen and squiresBallistas, catapults, onagers, Bombards, etc.Unicorn knights
>>565750270That and more grail magic. Maybe even some fun stuff like giant snails. Go full medieval art.
>>565750021>But where is Bretonnia's future?The sea. Bound by neither obligations of knights or peasants, Bretonnias merchant class commissioned the largest and best human navy in the old world. Free to profit from the spoils of various crusades, they've built the biggest ships, and filled them to the brim with the largest cannons gold can buy. Chivalry doesn't apply on THE OCEAN.
>>565750926Warrior-classTorpedo gunboats
>>565749326Gonatas, in spite of having the upper hand in almost every conceivable measure (he hasn't figured out that I've disbanded all of my mercenaries), asks for a ceasefire. Maybe Antiochus brokered the deal, accepting Epirote hegemony over the Pelopennese? We manage to bluff our way into exceedingly favorable terms.
Imperial Guard 120/120 (napoleonic block formation) (can use cover like in empire) (reskinned empire line infantry) (lazy implementation) (developers had no vision) (same scale as fantasy) (easy target for bombardment spell*cough* I mean air strike) (no reload animations) (shaken, disappointed in the lack of effort their developers put into their implementation)
>>565752464REPORTING FOR DUTY, SIR
>>565752464IMPERIAL HANDGUNNER
climate suitability is a shit mechanic
>>565752464noooooo why isn't it the 200,000 vs 200,000 battle with each individual unit having bespoke combat animations that also runs silky smooth 240fps that I envisioned nooooo
*set formation to loose*OH MY FAUCI IT'S GOTY NOW GUYS
>>565753234you might be ok with total war being smaller scale in 2027 than it was in 2004 but I’m not. I realize you were born in 2005 but try to understand my disappointment while you’re scrolling tik tok or whatever you little shits do with your time
>>565751191I thought you were asking for mana for a second
>>565753519but think of the small family company
>>565753413my warband in rome remastered has 300 models in it, over twice the size of your imperial guard unit. Imagine not only failing to match the scale of your old games, but significantly shrinking it, in a setting that is known for massive large scale battles
>>565751191Somewhat unsurprisingly, the Antigonids figure out our deception within a couple of years. Not quite as long as I'd hoped, but enough to draw up a decent force of mercenaries. Pyrrhus and Ptolemy move to break the siege of Thermon and Epidamnos, respectively. Pella and Demetrias look ripe for the taking, but it could be a trap.
>they're still arguing about the literal unfinished formations that the dev literally said they were unfinished Lol lmaoYou're like the faggots asking why Med3 looks like shit in the stream shit when it's clearly not close to be done.
>>565753234Why do you need to pretend that games like Warno don't exist?
>>565753870if they actually change the game based on the criticism then you should be grateful that people made those critiques instead being a bootlicking little bitch boy
>>565753870how new are you? you should know that 'this is unfinished pre-alpha footage' is a euphemism for 'this is finished and we're never ever going to change it'
>>565752464Imperial Guardsmen won't have Kneel Fire and Fire by Rank...
>>565753692I never got souping up the unit numbers, it just makes the maps smaller and the AI dumber.
>>565754207You’re right, the whole formation will shoot at the same time with lasers that arc over the models in front of them like a crossbow; you know, like what they did in fantasy >>565754269the game is all about spectacle and bigger battles is a better spectacle
>>565754269>maps smallerthey could just make the map bigger just like in the previous games. as the AI TCALUK will just give them more cheats.
>greenskins aren't khorne worshippers because....uhhh....THEY JUST AREN'T!!!!
>>565754752Greenskins whole thing is that they kind of don't fit in.
>>565754142>They'll change because I bitchedNo they'll change because they literally said they're not readyFucking mouthbreather.
>>565754269I don't get it either, at some point it just makes it unfun to micro everythin, it looks cool but loses the magic really fast when you have to do it every time with those numbers.I'd rather have better unit abilities that actually change their behaviour.Like warp spiders actually warping around obstacles and their weapons actually holding the targets together and killing them.
>>565754975you are such an unbelievably disingenuous bootlicking bitch boy and I’m embarrassed for your parents, zoomers are the most pathetic conformist generation of all time
>>565755239>zoom out the camera a little>make the maps bigger woahnow shut the fuck up your unbelievably retarded little shit, I’m embarrassed by your lack of vision
>>565755476And don't forget about making the gameplay polished, so we don't have to deal with BS like fire at will bugs.
>>565707817There's no niggers in Warhammer fantasy. They're all dead or got replaced by Lizardmen
>>565755476What the fuck are you even talking about?Schizo
>>565756230I'm easily explaining how the issues you claim to exist with larger unit sizes aren't actually issues at all if you put literally 2 seconds of thought into it. Your pathetic defense of this lazy company inspired my anger, because posts like yours are exactly why I hate zoomers so much. Always willing to go to bat for corporations, always making excuses, always defending the man in the hopes that you'll get rewarded for your bootlicking ways. you disgust me
this is what I've been spending my time doing instead of playing warhammer. it's interesting to me that not one of these achievements has over 2% completion rates, but I guess it makes sense when you think about it. thinking about playing WRE next, thoughts?
Lord of the End TImes is getting shown off at Skulls in a few weeks and will release this Summer. 40k is dropping at the end of this year. A new trailer and the release date are getting announced at Summer Games Fest. June will be focused on showing off the battles and units which they couldn't do before as a result of a lot of the rosters being stuff from 11th Edition that GW doesn't want them spoiling.
>>565757591I dont car
>>565757591Fake leak. 40k is a 2028 release.

>>565753519You need to wake up to the realities of life. Things do not magically improve with time. The opposite is true. Knowledge is lost, systems fail, machines degrade, and people move on. Your expectation and hope was childish and you should be ashamed of your ignorance. It is only through the effort of skilled, dedicated professionals that ANYTHING improves. CA doesn't have them, and hasn't for decades. Fucking dumb kid in an adults body is what you are mate.
I’m sorry for bullying you guys. It’s just that I hate you and want you to die so I lose control sometimes. I hope you can forgive me, and then, you know, die.have a wonderful day oh yeah um LL for this feel?
>>565759334Archaon
>>565759318you mistake me. I’ve known for a long time that CA stagnated hard and wouldn’t actually improve the games, I’m referring to the hope I had as a child growing up playing Rome total war. I had such high expectations for what this series could eventually become. I’ve always known as an adult that they would always disappoint me.
>Things do not magically improve with time. The opposite is true. Knowledge is lost, systems fail, machines degrade, and people move on. Your expectation and hope was childish and you should be ashamed of your ignorance. It is only through the effort of skilled, dedicated professionals that ANYTHING improves.

>>565754752thats because they dont have a soul
>>565759318Okay, so where is your game?
>>565748050Corrupted
>>565724682Modern space marines are gay and lame, IG are going to be gay and lame without some basic mods, eldar won't have enough wraith units for me to care at launch, greenskins it is.

How will transports work? Will you be able to clown car 120 Guardsmen into a single Chimera? Or will Chimeras be in squads too? If we have vehicle squads, how will pathfinding not be fucked?
>>565765676This game could never work without a free to play model and they must have known that.
>>565748050Back abandoned...
>>565766128>yet another failed 40kek gamemold franchise and setting
>>565766128it was fun but the moment they added the deff kopta they killed their combat racing mode; no other vehicle could compete with a high-speed pseudo-flyer that could ignore most terrain. And the capture the bomb mode just wasn't unique enough to set the game apart.
>>565733709This is Biel-Tan erasure and I will not stand for it.
>>565770510you’ll preorder it and buy every dlc like the pay piggy you are
>>565765763New to Total War games? Every new game will be unplayable for at least 6 months after release
Which faction in 40k is the equivalent of skaven i.e r*ddit?
>>565776208since when is reddit based?
>>565724682IG till they add SoB
>>565757591Idk about end of year. Devs may want to avoid being near GTA 6. Plus there are some other 50K games releasing (I think Dark Heresy, idk if Mech 2 and DoW 4 be around that time) early to mid 2027 will be ideal imo.
>>565770510Biel Tan was destroyed by Guilliman's gf.
>>565724682This is an Imperial Guard general. They wont force our faction leader to be a negress, right? We will have options, right?
>>565776550:)
>>565776550Cadians represent the US army in 40k. Take a guess.
>>565776208The equivalent of Skaven in 40k is Skaven (They will be added in the future)
>>565771649Nah. The last CA game I bought at release was Shogun 2. I bought 3K two weeks after these breads proved that it was okay, that's the closest I've gone to buying a release title. Empire left an impression. I'll pick up 40K when it's on sale and they've released all the interesting stuff.
Is Steam having issue or it's only my pc ?

>>565777261Gacha devs hire jeets to spam generals with bots posting coomshit. This is meant to mimick engaged playerbase and as such trick potential whales into believing they are part of a big community. Those bots then encourage whales to spend money on .jpgs and whales don't feel bad since they see that this is normal and everyone (they don't know it's bots) is doing thisIt's an old tactic
>>565777650>nowadays people are not content with free jpgsI really am getting too old for this shit
>>565777650I mean if they are terminal coomers why not use the thousands they will spend on those games to invest in a good PC and use a good AI to gen images or even porn of those waifus in any pose they want kek
>>565778985As low as gachafag standards are, they're still higher than slopfags.
>>565746513Not sure if you have them.(1/2)
>>565707817Let's keep it that way.
>>565779513(2/2)
So /twg/Imagine if TCLAP kidnaps all total war players (including Volound and Legend) and forces everyone to make a private vote with two buttons: red and blue.If more than 50% of Total War players press blue, everyone lives and Total War continues on as normal with higher quality releases. If less than 50% of Total War players press blue the people who pressed blue (including Legend and Volound REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY THEMSELVES PRESSED) die, only the ones that pressed red live.What would you pick. Be honest!
>>565779857what kind of shit pasta is that? that's some facebook tier retardation. for shame, dude.
>>565779857Shit pasta. Press red, retard.Also, kill yourself. Thank you.
>>565779857So this hypothetical is will we risk our lives to save Volound and Legend?

I'm gonna create the Blood Ravens and try to re-create their characters in TW:40K if the cosmetic customization is not just for your main lord.On a side note they seem to have chopped Cyrus in the trailer for DoW 4 wonder if Jonah will survive if this is really him on the steam page, or will they slaughter the old guard to insert OC donut steels.
>>565785150No Cyrus survives, he gets primaris'd
the customization options in 40k will be even more limited than Daniel's
>>565748050>>565784407Qrd? Why do people hate this guy

>>565786030MY FUARKING HERO
>>565786030lmao did his chariot fail to load or something
>>565746834Something like that on a cart or wagon could be a cool unit for Bretonnia.I kind of wish the Empire's warrior priests and flagellants, and luminarks of hysh were a Bretonnian units instead. Same with huntsman generals, huntsmen too.Let the Empire have the guns/cannons/mortars/similar higher-tech weaponry, and let Bretonnia have non-gunpowder missile weaponry and magical machinery.
>>565729218If this was a fan animation GW's lawyers would burst from the ground to C&D the creator to oblivion and erase it from the internet.
>>565795530no, they wouldn't, kys fatbusa
I can't wait. It's all I'm thinking about.
>>565737280>Dead Men Walkingi get it!!!
>>565753519it's not 2005 anymore you need to come to terms with the fact that you are going to remain limited by hardware that hasn't improved
DE dlc for wh3? They have the biggest potential as a faction but arks are just lame and gay as one of the few unique mechanics
>>565798923"leaks" say they will be part of a WE/DE DLC after the ET one.
>>565799005SweetHopefully it comes out before the end of 2027
>>565724682None of them. I'm not buying the game until Darkie Elves, Necrons and Tau are added.
>>565726330>>565727196This should have been from the perspective of the Ork kommando's and be about them being scarily sneaky and using actual tactics to fuck up the Humie bitches instead of being another gay Imperium wank cartoon.
>>565786582This shit was actually cool as fuck, I just wish it had way more mythical stuff going on.
>>565801052im a big fan of the mythical map skybox becoming for fantastical depending on the setting, took full advantage of the amphorae imagery
>>565799005what's left for the WE?
Sqvire...fetch me the best cope you have for Bretonnia getting content!
>>565802609Woodtrannies say Araloth is important or something.
>>565802860Sire, after 6 years our copium reserves have run out. You have to imagine the content.
>>565802609Technically there's like 10 other champions besides bladesingers that haven't been made into units yet.
>>565803041>Bretonia not even mentioned in the leaks Bretonia fags are in shambles
The Teutogen Guards look fucking rad as Hell. My favorite High Elf unit was the White Lions of Thrace, even though they fucking suck, simply because dudes wearing heavy plate armor with a fur cloak with the animals head on their shoulder looked cool.
>>565804718We should have gotten these back in TWWI
Every slaanesh daemon should have 6 pairs of tits and dicks by default.
>>565804718I like rushing white lions in the early game, because with red skills and levels they can kill most things. They fall of later.
>>565804841small overworked company, please understand.
>>565802860TCAL promised a Bret rework almost 2 years ago
>>565805429They were pretty stingy with the dlc for 1 compared to 2.
>>565805679TCALUK also promised more DLC for 3K...
>>565805679That was the cav changes. Oh wait you thought you would get new units? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Given that TW:WH40k is set in the Indomitus Era, which faction do you think will be the first to be added?
>>565806119Dark Angels and Chaos will be the first DLCs.
>>565802860Bohemond Beastslayer LL. I know he's just another armoured guy on a horse, but he's cool and having a mechanic around killing many different types of monsters could be fun.Bertrand the Brigand LL (with his 2 friends as LHs, not just as followers). He's so different to the other LLs that it'd be a shame if we don't get him. Ideally we get both, and preferably neither of them start in or close to Bretonnia, unless one of the other LLs already there are moved. LHs like Amalric of Gaudaron (for making themed anti-undead armies), Calard of Garamont (for buffing low-tier knightly units), the Hermit Knight of Malmont (because he's cool & unique, possibly could buff grail reliquaes and battle pilgrims too), Reynard the Hunter (for anti-large buffs)Maybe Élisse Duchaard too.Sergeant-at-arms hero (missile support, can buff peasants, both melee/missile, and artillery)Yeoman captain hero (missile specialist, mounted on basic warhorse, can also buff herrimault and mounted yeoman units)Grail monk hero (buffs allies/debuffs enemies, should get some kind of mount, like warhorse, maybe a special one like a cart)Foot knights (could give special buffs just to squires, so as to not make them completely obselete)Foot squire variant (with shields?)Battle pilgrims variant (with an ability like the spinning loons for night goblin fanatics, releasing some nutjob pilgrim with a flaming attack crashing into enemy lines)Maybe Hermit Knights too, if they can be made distinct from foot knights. Could be like Bretonnian aspiring champions.HerrimaultCarcass launcher (artillery)Holy cart (to buff troops -more melee defence or missile resistance etc.)Another kind of wagon/cart support unit, different to the above.Lake lions or lost sons could be something else to add, but I've not thought too much about them tbqh
>>565806227>Dark AngelsErm, Space Marines are a launch faction already? Surely CA isnt going to add 600 flavors of Space Marine and nothing else?

>>565807948>Surely CA isnt going to add 600 flavors of Space Marine and nothing else?
>>565806119CSM because they exists already in some form. Fuck, they were even playable. Trusted shilltubers like basedtek and random nongamers played those betatests where it was just SM/CSM/Orks/Eldar. Guy who played those beta tests went to Valrak so he can leak game existence and as we know Valrak was right down to specific details, so it wasn't bullshit.So according to those first leaks CSM would be a base game faction while Imperial Guard would only exists as npcs (like in all DoW games) and then IG would be added as first "Race Pack".For whatever reasons, IG and CSM switched places. If I had to guess, CA wanted more generic for Total War faction to exists, since Eldar and Space Marines are already hyper elite to the point never before seen in series. CSM are only slightly less elite due to their cultist/daemon/traitor guard chaff, but still there would basically only be Orks as a horde faction in game if they went with that plan and look at how people reacted to seeing 5 models in a unit in SM alone lolSo CSM are the first "race pack", but CA will probably do what they did with TW:W and space out the big deal that are "race packs" with smaller dlcsSo first dlc will be "lord pack" equivalent like Krieg or Dark Angels or Eldar Corsairs.Then, after CSM, they have to logically add Necrons and Tyranids ASAP.CSM actually would be preorder bonus, but playerbase kept crying about factions being preorder bonuses, so instead CA will simply sell them later as a separate dlc, instead of giving them away for free.
>>565804718>My favorite High Elf unit was the White Lions of Thrace, even though they fucking suck, simply because dudes wearing heavy plate armor with a fur cloak with the animals head on their shoulder looked cool.Same. They look fucking incredible.Just wish they were better in battles.
>>565806227>>565807948Its going to be so fucking gay and retarded when it is in fact going to be mostly a bunch of different flavors of spess mahreens with actual different factions sprinkled in every now and again.
>>565807948DA's are like the second most played faction on the TT right now period. I don't see how they would delay their release.
>>565807948Empire was also in the game since day 1 and the first DLC we got was a Empire one.
>>565807948First dlcs for TWW were Grim and the Grave and BeastmenWhy would it be any different here?>>565808301This is such a funny doompostingThere are only 4 Space Marine Chapters existing as actual unique subfactions. Black Templars, Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves. And forgotten Grey Knights if you count them to make 5Others do not actually have unique units beyond a token character.You can look at other 40k like Gladius, Battlesector or even DoW and see that most dlcs aren't Marines
>>565786582>War of the Beard>Historical: Elves are the goods guys. Malekith started it. Dwarfs literally cut off the noses and ears of elf women and children. Biggest waste of lives in history. Only real victor was the forces of darkness. Elves have decided to stop the war.>Mythological: Dwarfs are the good guys. 100% egli fault. Muh elgi-war-crime against beards. Caledor II is the greatest war criminal in history ever. Elgi had it coming. TOTAL DWARF VICTORY. Still grudging in the year 2525 IC. GROOOOOOOOOODGE!!!
>>565806227Dangels are already in DoW4 and TW40K is already too similar.

>>565802860M'lord, Empire (churls) are getting war dogs with the ET DLC, there is good chance for us to alos gain access to the war dogs (like beastmen or WoC got access to some units from previous DLC).
>>565808947>Elves are the goods guys. Malekith started it.It's not a great idea to start with a contradiction right off the bat
>>565808947>it wasn't elves, it was Malekith (Elf)Perfidious Elgi

>>565808947Malekith didn't start any war. All he did was sink a few merchant ships. The war was started when the Phoenix King attacked the Dawi diplomat. Malekith didn't force Caledor to do that.

>>565809596>preorder DLCdoesn't count, it's part of a base game release
>>565809763Malekith didn't sink the ships either, the truth is that the treacherous dawi and the vile assur were always planning to fight over the old world's resources and the fraud Caledor needed a scapegoat. Then the phony phoenix predictably got killed by the manlets, as he never had the favour of the gods in the first place.
Who's the most reddit 40k faction whos fans will make by far the worst posts once the game has come out?
>>565810695Guard by far, theyUltramarines
>>565810695Any of the Imperium factions besides maybe Custodes (though I doubt Custodes would be added).
>>565810695
>>565810695Literally every single 40k poster ever
>>565810105From a political and tactical standpoint he didn't do anything wrong. He saw the geopolitical situation and used it to secure his own country. Pretty clever. I would say that this is the only time a faction leader in Fantasy did anything this smart. Meanwhile in the Empire they still are trying to create new pretenses to destroy Bretonnia.
>>565810695GenestealersThey will be the new beastrape/ratrape NTR spammers
>>565810917It do be like this. Unfortunately. >>565811091Genestealer cults are the most extreme case underdog in the setting and they always lose. Even when they achieve their goal they lose.
>>565811091Nah Tyranid enjoyers are too wholesome (and women)
>>565811302Not Tyranids. Genestealer Cults specifically.Especially since there is a Craftworld that got taken over by genestealers because naive Eldar thought it could save their souls from Slaanesh, but they just became mindlsaves and genestealer factories. They got purged by Ynnari. That will be used as justification for elves getting raped posting
>>565810917You Eldar are always trying to manipulate us into fighting your battles. Hekate 7, Tartarus, here! What is it this time?
So then who's the most BASED faction that will make by far the BEST posts once the game has been released?
>>565811949My favourite, of course.
>>565811949Chaos Space Marines or Orks probably
>>565811949MECHANICVS
>>565811056In the bigger picture, weakening the elf empire like that was an extremely risky decision just due to the waystones that keep the world from being consumed by chaos being on ulthuan. Distracting or crippling whatever elf state defends ulthuan at the time directly endangers those waystones.E.g. grom the fat fuck just sailing to ulthuan with a bunch of goblins and nearly literally destroying the world by toppling so many waystones in the ghost town of a province that is yvresse.Not being able to guarantee that he would decisively win the civil war made the entire thing a huge fuckup that endangered the world itself, including his nation.
>>565804718HAMMERERS
I can't believe Daemons of Chaos have become the designated tranny faction, it's beyond parody.
Have you sent your apology form to Legend already? His pivot leak was vindicated in the end. He told the truth, and we hated him because of it
>>565812617Care to elaborate?
>>565811949Orks and it's not even close.
The entire Galaxy was promised to the Eldar 60000 years ago.
>>565812912But legend is pro troon
>>565812912There was never a planned dlc called Lords of Shang Yang.Legend saw these planned characters packs and made assumptions, and when he was proved wrong he claimed CA pivoted because of his leak.
>>565812970If you look at r/sigmarxism, Daemons are BY FAR the most posted army, closely followed by Skaven.
>>565812912Sorry, but million dollar companies do not "pivot" because of "leaks". Even if the leak was correct, CA would not change course because of it. Every weeks there's a new leak some some game, nobody cares.
>>565812912>Apologizing means he's more likely to come backNah
Man, I hope CA will represent>Harlequins>Exodites>Farsight Enclaves>Imperial Assassins>Imperial Knights
>>565813261DLC coming soon, 2034
>>565813261Imperial Knights are the coolest concept in Games Workshops dragon horde they refuse to do anything interesting with.Long cut off extraterrestrial human colonies reinvent feudalism based around who can pilot the giant robots which are the last pieces of advanced technology on the planet.
How long will we have to wait to get Titans?
>>565813572This is meant to make Tau look lame but this is exactly how a titan would get rekt, it's a very cost effective engagement even if every battlesuit goes down
>>565747658Wait so you’re telling me the mechanical horse was originally gonna be a steam-powered horse-shaped motorbike?That would’ve been awesome, god damnit.
>>565813096>closely followed by Skaven.Of course
>>565747658This would have fit in better alongside meme tech like the landship. TCALK is a disgrace
>>565813096What a strange placeI'm seeing every faction though ngl
>>565815034Funnily enough, the people there have gotten a lot better at painting since its inception, so either the troons are improving or normal people are starting to use it too.
>>565812473Dark elves care fuck all about the waystone because the place they inhabit is no different from the world before the vortex.
>>565813829Titans have anti-air and anti-boarding troops. The Tau in this don't manage to take out a single titan anyway. It takes the Eldar sending a bunch of Phantom Titans to stop the Warlords.
>>565813096>SkavenI always knew that there is something not right with the ratposters.
>>565815484They don't live in the literal realm of chaos, they just live in the far north.If the vortex stops functioning their meager defenses facing the realm of chaos would immediately be overwhelmed as unstoppable tides of daemons flood over naggaroth.
>>565807948Thankfully they added an army painter so they can't sell entire generic chapters, but yes they'll sell the Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Blood Angels and Black Templars.
>>565814045There were a few more coll Imperial Engineer concepts that weren't used but once again I am at work and can't post them at the moment.
>>565816485They can sell chaptermasters and. Other chapter characters in the character pack format DLC
>>565816434Daemons aren't infinite despite what chaosfags claim. Even at the worst of pre-vortex times Ulthuan was attacked by daemons once ever few years or even decades. If it was a 24/7 fight for survival there would be no time for elven sacrifices in Naggarythe.

Is CA gonna update Attila like Rome 2?
>>565818247Secutarii is how they are called. Armed so they can't be displaced easily.
>>565816787The elves on ulthuan were in existential danger during the coming of chaos because of the daemon hordes assailing them and were only saved by the most legendary heroes of the elf race. Naggaroth does not have aenarion protecting it and an entire ocean separating it from the realm of chaos.
>>565818693Naggarythe wasn't in existential danger that's literally the entire explanation why they wanted to unravel the vortex. They claimed it made them weak and they were doing just fine without it.
>>565818528No one likes Attila, so no.
>>565818857They can claim that but that's how naggaroth was destroyed in the end anyway, even with the vortex still functional.
why does this race exist
>>565819174To be harder than the faceroll Chaosslop
>>565818528Yes, Attila still has a passionate and dedicated fanbase.
>>565819174Because of the "mono-god factions is a mistake" crowd.
>>565806119In no particular order:>Chaos Daemons/Chaos Space Marines>Necrons>Tyranids
>>565819574Daniel looks like that???
I can't believe that they are making us pay for Boris Todbringer.
>>565819174Supposed to be Daemons of Chaos undivided but was so dysfunctional that instead of fixing it they put Belakor into the WoC and pretended everything was fine.
slaanesh alarielle or nurgle miao ying?
>>565819676Reminder that the Empire is the only base faction to never get a FLC lord and now they never will
>>565819907What is this, that's not the usual malus for not settling grudges is it?
>>565820061I'm pretty sure that's from the old system dawi had before ToD.
>>565820061Old Groodge system Umgi. Only Longbeards will remember it.
who's gonna be the flc for lord of the endtimes
>>565738468the 3d model looks attractive imo
>>565820270Kurt Helborg?
>>565820270Egrimm von Horstmann because Tzeentch is the only Chaos faction still missing their FLC lord.

For me, it's Nurgle.
>>565823928Sigmar I beg you, no more WoC lords. Their gimmick does not need 9 different sub factions. They have factions SPECIFICALLY for each chaos faction, USE THEM

>>565826165The day I lost the little respect I had left for MPtrannies.
>>565826165Even a TW noob would just corner camp and not lose any units...
>>565826583>Elfsisters how could this happen???based on what i know>deployed his spears thinly, maximizing how much damage they take vs the much more dangerous to infantry orks>did not deal with grom the paunch, allowing him to singlehandedly kill 2 regiments of infantry>did not use his spells at all>focused fire on the cavalry, completely ignoring his spears getting fucked upoh>and he fucking stucks at micro lolnot to mention he didnt abuse all his tools>used the snare when his entire front line had collapsedhe should have pinned grom down and deleted him ASAP
>>565826669and this is after he posted an incredibly lukewarm review about how eltharion was a shining example of power creep THAT WEEK
>>565826760Simply not playing like a fucking troglodyte allows you to win that battle pretty handily even if you deploy in the open.
>>565824493I can't tell if the hive cities being so absurdly tall that they reach deep into the stratosphere is a 40k thing, because city spire tops being in space is fitting for 40k, or if it's a CA thing where buildings are made cartoonishly huge for representation.
Best thing about Crushing Defeat of Total War is that CA promptly nerfed Spiderriders in response.
>>565826165I don't think I've ever actually seen crushing defeat outside of unit testing
>>565827453Most TW players only use spears in front, archers behind
>>565827761Even that can work with proper micro on everything that isn't infantry and smart target prioritization from the archers.
>>565827761That would have been enough. He lost because he couldn't stop gookclicking long enough to let his archers actually shoot.
>>565828253>proper microTW players don't microMicro is a MPnigger thing, it's why no one cared about Takeda and no one cares about BretonniaSpears in front, archers behind

>>565819907>never get a FLC lord and now they never willEdvard Van Der Kraal along the DoW DLC.
>>565829038This has always been the TW formulaOnly MPniggers love gookclicking and other weirdo strategiesThe only difference between a noob and a normal TW player is that noobs cornercamp and hill camp 100% of the time while normal TW players just use two lines - one for spearmen on front and a second line for archers behind
>>565830165What's more micro heavy?>6 spears>4 archers>1 phoenix>4 white lions>4 ellyrian reaversvs>10 spears>9 archers
>>565830165>zerg rushing as slaaneshyou just get deleted by missiles, and your shock cav dies in prolonged combat unless they rape archers or something. wtf are you smoking
>>565830546That's all fine, but it it's casual playThis is a casual game so it's normal, but it makes no sense to brag about
>>565830641>Deleted by missilesJust recruit Chaos warriors with shields and walk forward. Use whatever flavor of flanking unit you want after that.
I use Tercos in front, Nodachi and Fire Rockets from behind :)
>>565830548>10 spears and 9 archersbecause you have less tools so you have to play "more perfectly" to do what other untis specializations>4 white lionscan lock up and win against infantry>1 phoenixwill take up most of the micro>spears and archers put them on guard stance and make sure they hold their line>4 reaversclick them off to the side, and then sic them on artillery or archersmeanwhile [army with less tools]>you have to constantly exploit weaknesses to kill the front line faster, maybe inch your archers closer to shoot at enemies in rangeellyrian reavers are also great impromptu dogs, and youre nuts if you dont think the "fire and forget" nature of them chasing down and killing a fleeing unit is inherently less micro for an inherently better result against a fleeing enemy
I use Kossars.
>>565830165>>565830641>>565830824And here we come to the problem of singlecels, the game isn't balanced for just buying whatever you want Try making that elite shit in MPGOD territory and you'll be blocked by chaff and fucked by full surrounds :)
remember eastern infantry? remember how they would just rout instantly and had like 3 attack and 7 defense? I remember because I just played Parthia and had to autoresolve all the walled sieges with two stacks of horse archers since their infantry was completely useless
>>565830641unless the enemy im fighting 100% aims everything at nkari or any one of his units AND im too retarded to see that, a slaanesh army only ever provides enough time for 1, maybe 2 shots before youre in slapping range>>565831028fuck off with that, if anon is too fucking stupid to use his shit in singleplayer or ranged play the way its literally, thematically balanced to be played, thats anon's fault>>565830957budget LSG
>>565830824Hammer and Anvil is not "zerg rushing"
>>565830952I know what they do retard I'm making it obvious that unit variety demands a greater variety of controlClicking a few archers and then clicking their trolls/monsters is not difficult, it's the same as a flanking unit except you didn't have to flank, they just damage by looking at them as long as you can protect themThis is such a bizarre argument, no other community would try to debate this
>>565831142>I remember because I just played Parthia and had to autoresolve all the walled sieges with two stacks of horse archers since their infantry was completely uselessto be fair before TWWH3 you could literally go into the lab and pit chosen vs legendary difficulty nasty skulkers and the fucking skulkers would take the chosen down to 15% hp and wavering before routinghigh difficulty was genuinely retarded and encouraged cheese until TWWH3
>>565831142I think I just used cataphracts the last time I played parthia.
>>565831338yeah a greater variety of control but my point is that doesnt mean its more micro intensive as certain units do certain things better than others so when you incorporate them maybe it translates to less micro load>reacquiring new targets as they come into range or present as a threatis not the same as>i select my reavers/hounds and have them flank, rout, and chase a fleeing unit to make sure it is 100% not rallyingAll units benefit from good attentive mirco, and its fun to practice and engage in in, say, a coop match where all im given is 2 fucking dogs units 10 turns into a playtrhough
>>565831595you start with two cataphracts but by the time you can actually recruit more the campaign is almost over. Horse archers carried me through most of it. I did manage to make like maybe 5 more and had some fun with them towards the end slaughtering Romans.
>Really want to play tau>Really want to play death korps of krieg>Don't want to play space marines at allI'm autistic, am I not?
oh and you can’t really cheese the walled sieges anymore in the remastered version since the AI actually defends walls properly now, so getting some eastern infantry on the walls to open the gates for the cataphracts wasn’t really an option
>>565831843>>Don't want to play space marines at allthey have so much variety in them you might as well be saying "i dont like seafood" because you dont like tilapia
>>565826583Spearmen can't hold out against most normal infantry units, that's why they need archer spam to whittle down enemies
>>565831753>wait until archers are in range, click trolls>literally two clicks, one being to drag select however many you want focusingvs>move into woods, dodge spears protecting (even AI does this), monitor killing of their ranged in case something comes to relieve them before your cav routs the rangedNeither are intense by Starcraft/AoE2 RTS gook standards but it's just objectively more to be doing
>>565832054Why aren't they called Spearelves though
>>565831793>by the time you can actually recruit more the campaign is almost overI'm pretty sure there was over 200 years left in the campaign by the time I could recruit cataphracts.
>>565831843If this was 15 years ago I would want to play space marines.

>>565832249I stop playing after long victory conditions are met, which is as soon as you conquer Rome. I autoresolved that with 3 stacks since they had like 6 family members in the city. Most players don’t even make it that far. Do you seriously conquer the whole map? sounds super tedious
I rather betray Legend than have Legend betray me
>>565832532Saar do not redeem the Red button

>>565832849The real tragedy of the White Scars is that Ravenwing is far better at being fast then them. Imagine basing your entire identity on bikes and a second company of another chapter is so much better at it then you will ever be.

>>565833131explain to me how it is possible to win a walled siege battle with Parthia in any other way. Let me stop you there, there’s literally no other way in the remaster since they actually defend walls properly and your eastern infantry can’t win a fight on the walls against literally anything. It’s literally impossible. Autoresolve was the only solution.

>>565833557>they spawn in>charge into my unbolstered garrison>autoresolve victory
>>565833396I'd recommend you try eu5, ck3, civ, maybe simcity. Heroes of might and magic might be ok for you, but again you might just start autoing again. Possibly gacha games where you can auto daily quests, simple brain off stuff if the above seems too much work.
>>565833614>take the white scars and turn them into tau???????
>>565833614You whine now but it was all done in anticipation of TW so they can have sick throat singing bgm
>>565821687no, bald
I gave pharaoh an honest shot. It was extremely boring. I played on the hardest settings and from what I could tell it was practically impossible to win. I could barely field two mid tier stacks running a deficit with like 6 provinces while my neighbors with half the settlements were running around with 5 armies of high tier units. The lack of cavalry means there really isn’t anything you can do micro-wise to overcome a better army, so you basically just lose. The AI can field over twice as many stacks as you, and each of their stacks are superior to yours. Not to mention there was just way too much fucking busywork on the campaign. Too many tech trees, too much political nonsense, there’s like 9 tabs at the top full of shit you have to do every turn, and managing like 5 resources is a chore
>>565833390>i wish they made empire 2 instead of fucking medieval 3Same. When I see how impressive Med 3 is already looking, I imagine the pure naval kino we could have gotten with Empire 2.
>>565833887So to be clear, you concede that autoresolve is the only option, since you have no response. The developers literally did not think it through when fixed the AI, which made it impossible for Parthia to win walled sieges. Cheesing it was the only way in the original, now it’s impossible without autoresolve. Thanks for confirming that you’ve literally never played the game
>>565826165ork boyz are stronger than spearmen, spearmen aren't bad units they simply get mogged by axe and sword unitsa simple spearmen line with archers firing from behind would kill enough of them so that spearmen can hold the linethe stupid mpnigger didn't put enough distance for his archers to do damage and instead used them on cavalry/monsters when spearmen would fuck these units up without issueanyone who plays eltharion and/or imrik knows this and will get humbled even on very hardi didn't see a net of amyntok being put down, probably didn't take a mage kek, high elves in the old world are useless without hysh magesalso ive seen too many players engage grom with anti-large units when he's not a cavalry/monster unit
>>565833923The Tau were made to capture the Gunpla audience because their lone Asian chapter was too gigachad for herbivore East Asians
>>565834375You asked me to stop and not tell you how, then proceeded to rant about how you weren't able to do it. I'm not really interested in explaining the game to you no. Particularly when you asked me not to. There are plenty of people who only play the 4x, it's not like you are alone, there are just lots of better 4x games. Hope you find one and leave us :)
>>565834457Not to mention>Phoenix + altharionOr>Eltharion roofies + mass archer focus fireWould have literally deleted grom
>>565834738I accept your concession, though I find it curious that you wasted so much time deflecting when you could have just typed “I concede” instead
>>565834170You lost, legend.
>>565833623
>>565834193That depends on whether or not CA listens to its community as an excuse to do less workBecause historically >Hurr fucking durr naval combat is shitAccording to the community
>>565835110>anon thinks that all the free roster updates each chaos dlc are CA generosity not beastmeme popularity.
>>565835234It's only "shit" because it's another upkeep to worry about and TW provinces don't give a bajillion gold per turnIt's also "slow", no one complained about FOTS naval battles since they were pretty fast, fuck other ships up instead of age of sail turtle warfare
I loved naval battles in all the games except for Rome 2 and Atilla. People just don’t have an appreciation for naval tactics and so they didn’t know how to micro.
>>565835435It doesn't help that Napoleon/empire had/has sailsShogun/rome iirc don't rely on wind
>>565834896A simple 'thank you' would have been sufficient.

>>565835607it’s really embarrassing how people can never admit they’re wrong on the internet, even anonymously
how the fuck are armored hoplites underrated? literally everyone knows that armored hoplites are the best unit Greece has and should be spammed. Literally go into any YouTube video, into literally any thread on the internet and they will recommend armored hoplites. Jesus Christ, for fucks sake, I’m mad
>>565835736No. Tamurkhan is probably one of the most powerful lords in all of Total War. Ku'gath and Epidemius are middling for Warhammer 3 standards.
>>565836008they're still underrated. 10/10 isn't enough
>>565835736No. Tamurkhan is basically the best campaign in the game.

>>565836008Never played the first Rome but Hoplites are really cool in Rome 2.They just won't die.
>>565836393>Never played the first Romeyou should change that. they just released a remastered version you can try. Ignore the haters, it’s a big improvement and worth your time

They need to add the Glottkin to make Boris Todbringer's campaign more challenging.
>>565840220Glottkin will be able to solo all Empire LLs at once. Unironically the most busted lord GW ever shat out.
>>565840441Fistus can already do that.
>>565840489With crutch healing. Glottkin just one shot most of the lords in the game.
>>565840441Wouldn't Nagash and Archaon be more powerful than Glottkin?
>>565804718Cult of Ulric stuff is based off 6th edition designs and not 8th/End Times trash, so it's no surprise they look good.
>>565840808Nagash isn't even in the top 5 of ET powerlevels. He's overhyped.
Anyone have that picture of the fat business man drinking all the water while the dehydrated guy tries to collect the excess drops? That's Nurgle, and the dying man is Tzeentchkeks
>>565804718empire’s best shielded infantry is still spearmen with shields lol
>>565840808Nagash got bodied by Glotkin and Nurgle to the point he's a shadow of himself at the end of ET and then just dies.
>>565840941I don't know where people got this idea that Nagash is the be all end all in the End Times. He can't even step to a Slann until he achieves actual godhood in AOS. In the End Times he's arguably still well behind the likes of Teclis and Morathi. And indisputably weaker than basically any Slann alive. Like he's strong in ET. Strong enough to fight of the angels of Ptra that were sent to kill him. But he's not a god yet.
>>565841464Sounds like Glottkin is the tool that is used to defeat powerful characters.Who defeats Glottkin?

>>565841396If you want a staunch anti-missile wall then you need Steam Tanks. If you want to kill archers you should use cavalry or shoot them from outside their range with Artillery. The Empire needs no shields.
>>565841732cope lol
do plague drones suck
>>565841617Glottkin kill Karl and he explodes with thepower of Sigmar reincarnating in him which disintegrates the Glott brothers.
>>565841608>I don't know where people got this idea that Nagash is the be all end all in the End Times.Presentation. Not only did Nagash fill the scene any time he was drawn, but he also got introduced to the story through moments like Teclis and Malekith teaming up to go wake him up and fucking shitting themselves just from being inside his tomb.
>>565841617
>>565804718Guys I got access to the new DLC early. Keep it on the down low.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2914295492
>>565841804You need some sort of anti-air as nurgle so you should always have some. Better than the furies that slaanesh is forced to use
>>565841859Dunno why both Teclis amd Malekith would both body him by virtue of being giga versed in dispelling magic.
>>565842074>expecting good or consistent writing from warhammer novels
>>565841635You WILL buy it.You WILL enjoy it.You WILL leave a positive review.
The lord that you will first play when the End Times update hits: NagashThe lord that I will first play when the End Times update hits: Tyrion
>>565842203Nagash is a sloppy caster even at the height of his ET power. Hs's super weak when it comes to generating his own winds of magic and just folds like wet paper when rats blow up his pyramid.
>>565842339>TyrionThere will be no such lord in ET. He becomes Khaine's sock puppet.
>>565842339Nope, my order is Grimgor (none of this End Times trash, full Storm of Chaos mode), Orion, Toddy, and then if I haven't burnt out Teclis. Neferata once the mods are out to stop her looking like End Times trash.
Will the End Times be a new campaign or something you enable for normal campaigns?
>>565842559>once the mods are out to stop her looking like End Times trash.Yeah right after Arkhan gets his Fantasy model instead of the AOS one.
>>565842660Anon, it's a skeleton crew while everyone else is all hands on deck to unfuck 40K. It'll be the same map.
>>565842660We will find out in June.
>click on Nagash>”HANDGUNNERS”
>>565842729It could be the same map with different rules.
>>565842660It's a new campaign. Not every lord will make it in. Only the Lords of the End Times(tm)
You will be playing some trash lord.Me? I'm gonna play THE NECROMANCER THAT SURPASSED NAGASH. We are not the same.
>>565842807>play Nagash>click on my Vampire lord/hero>"we surpass Nagash"
>>565843084Nagash also gets that lord.He also gets that lord's dad and stepmom.
>>565843289>*Nagash from off-screen* >Shut up retard>hero immediately dies
>>565843331Nah both Ghorst and Kemmler will be the only VC LLs not under Nagash in ET.
>>565843468Oh, I thought you meant Mannfred.Good on Ghorst and Kemmler but I know that Krell goes back to Nagash.
>>565843468I wonder how they'll implement the Mortarchs. Most likely they'll introduce cross-race confederation for the Legendary Lords (and potentially give that to Archaon and Daniel too), but how will he get the others? Will he steal the Krell ability from Kemmler? Walach Harkon is the LH for the DLC, but we still know nothing about Dieter Hellsnicht and the Nameless. The latter might also be an army ability to turn enemy heroes to your side.
>>565844084Nah. You are thinking about this as if it will be the IE map. The ET DLC is a separate campaign with only a handful lords available. Manlet and others will be quest rewards for Nagash.
>>565843389>We surpass Nag-ACK!
>>565844498kek
>>565842203>expecting good or consistent writing from warhammer END TIMES novelsFix'd Some Warhammer books can be well written. ET not so much.
Reminder Nagash had to run and hide under Malekith when rats got to him.
how the fuck do I play ogres? I never have any meat and I'm stuck with bulls for 40 turns wtf am I doing wrong
>>565845257Get more meat.
>>565844251holy shit thats terrible mods ban this loser NOW
>>565844251That would be a truly cataclysmic conclusion to the Total Warhammer fantasy series.
>>565845257Play Skrag.
that was fucked up. I even caught them during a march
>>565846542Enjoy your poison attacks for Ku'gath!
>>565844084have they actually confirmed that these LLs will be directly under your command? or are they going to weasel their way out by just having it be a forced vassalizationi kinda dont have much faith in sophia when it comes to really expanding the engines capabilities, whether it be in a timely manner, functional manner, or creative manner
>>565846846its over
>>565847478Actually, that Ku'gath campaign has only just begun.
>>565844251Genuinely one of the worst ideas I have ever heard from one of these threads. Impressive
Reminder Thanquol has sex with married elven women
Reminder that the sex with married elven women isn't consensual, poor Thanquol just gets pounced by Elves in heat no matter where he goes.

>>565820628Why?
>>565855672>>565855847>>565856189the animations took one look at this and said >nah I ain’t doing all shit that you get a metal horse instead
>>565856507It was GWs choice, these sketches never got a model.
>>565856507*animators *all that shit jeez I really fucked up that post
>>565856578well I wouldn’t want to make a model of that either, there’s too much stuff going on. It looks cool but imagine trying to paint that
>>565856467Because we were supposed to be getting a vampire(neferata) dlc, hten it got turned into Nagash megapack, then Bhashiva showed up with a Cathay rework and now we looped back to another fucking Empire dlc.Fucking fix the races who need proper reworks first.
Another ten reworks for Empire players!
So I've been checking the DLCs, why is almost all of it mixed?
>>565858510probably because shortly after playing it you realize you’re still playing the same game you’ve been playing for a decade and a few reskinned units and some voice lines doesn’t actually provide a new and meaningful experience compared to vanilla. It’s just power creep with a price tag
>>565858510well first the Dwarfs mixed with the daemons and then they procreated with the goblins...
Is there any way to either boost your lord/army's resistance to hero actions or to help remove the luckless trait? My Red Duke keeps getting nailed by hero attacks and now he's even more vulnerable to them.
3K still worth playing? How's Pharaoh? Heard it got a huge patch
>>565858643There is a huge difference between playing base skaven and ikit claw. The only dlcs that seem to do nothing are dwarf ones. Cathay only got one and yuan bo still stacks the same units but he gets a fun lion stack at least.
>>565859086There are followers and items but getting them is random chance. Just do what everyone else does and ignore heroes. Just stomp the faction that keeps sending them.
>>565860958>base game skavenleap through a bunch of hoops to build an economy and maintain multiple stacks while the AI back-caps you at every opportunity>ikit clawdo the same thing with an extra button in the UI that explodes an enemy army every 15 turns
>>565861601Nobody runs multiple stacks with ikit claw. You run elite stacks, way less than the AI has and fight several of theirs at once.Base skaven are trash stacks. Ikit can take on 4 at once.
>>565785331>hate this guy/twg/ has always had Legend's back
>>565860389Lately I've gone back and played a lot of Troy and Pharaoh, I've been looking at 3K again but I want to finish my Pharaoh campaign

>>565846542>Rapes Ghorst and saves your kugath campaign. Have you thanked him today?
Saving this general
This is how it happened, this is how /twg/ died.
It was me, I killed twig. I stabbed it in the stomach and left it to bleed out for hours. It begged me to end it, to put it out of its misery, but I just walked silently, smiling, listening to the cries of agony as it lost hope, one squirt of blood at a time. the heights of my sadistic pleasure were immeasurable and my day was saved as the last breath escaped as a puff through the crimson soup its mangled mouth. It was nothin personnel

>>565875063It's a shame CA did away with the idea of theatres. Would have been much better if Athel Loren was it's own mini map with significantly more detail, more comparable to the mini campaign in size.
Play Three Kingdoms.

>>565875621M3 has lots to talk about because it's in pre-production and nothing has actually been done. All the 40k talk was about actual development work and progress, they even quoted exact figures for number of battle maps, work left to do, etc.
>>565802609So Lord packs are lord + 4 units and no mechanicVS packs are Lord, 7 units/heroes and mechanic. From Tabletop?Mages and archers with special ammo.From lore? Not much, Zoats were already the edgeWain Lord, shadowdancer, Kith Band and RPG stuff (Ghost Strider) What would make sense? Make a dark themed setShadowdancer heroAdd more spellslingers to fill out. Shadowdancer Troupe (spellcasting infantry) Ghost Strider (stalk, non-firing arc) Waywalker and Ghost Strider with different ammoWain Lords (Chariot, with on-hit slow)Kith Band (though wood elves have 3 low tier infantry choices already, so short range melee infantry) For Araloth he can be focused on wandering. Add different gods to chase bars across the world and unlock different units. Loec shadowdancer, Khaine Wild Riders et. Push the Wain Lord in marketing.1 + reskin heroes4 units + 3 more ammo variantRegarding leak:Its possible but seeing no bretonnian in the leak confirms it is a true gw leak
>>565875063In reality.
So is the Fay Enchantress actually just a disguised elf, or rather a human made extremely long-lived by Lileath?
The Dark Elves are such a fucking nightmare to deal with in TWW2.
>>565894113DRUCHII!
>>565894614that's the new, legally distinct and copyrighted name, yes
>>565894780I think you're thinking of something else
>>565894780is this why todd calls his elves mer?
Give me your best Skarsnik tips and tricks.
>>565885270It comes at a cost of constantly leaking diarrhea. Not every chaos follower wants that.
>>565894113Just arrow-of-Isha them.
>>565887993As much as I love the idea, I suspect it would cause the engine to explode. Assuming it could handle it, I hope they do release a mega map at the end, pc specs be damn.

>>565891921Would great to see Araloth replace Orion in Talsyn and have Orion act as a horde/semi-horde faction. Wild Hunt Rampage around the world.
>>565895470They've been called druchii in army books for decades, so this is a weird larp
>>565895470Truly the point of no return for Warhammer.
>>565895470Retard. Druchii is a name from the 4th edition i.e the one that has actual world building. Also this name change was made to further differentiate them from High Elves who all had generic names for their units. So no copyright issues are not the case in regard to the Dark Elves.
Reminder that the most recent leak is fake but the real one from Slaanesh DLC is probably still mostly true
>>565895470Why are they called dark riders? Should be just horse riders according to your logic.
>the virgin WFB 8th edition>the CHAD The Old World
>>565896372That's how these units are called on AOS boxes. And since they don't sell Fantasy boxes anymore that's how they are refereed to. Don't worry when they'll actually release real rules for dark elves they will come back to the old names.
>>565894614I had a battle against them (I'm playing High Elves) where only my prince, noble, life mage, and a handful of rangers, archers, and spearmen units (barely) survived.There was another battle against an army led by Hellebron where the only units left on the battlefield at the end were my light mage lord, my loremaster of Hoeth, 2 units of Ellyrion reavers, and my single unit of war lions.>>565895264Defending the coastlines of Ulthuan against them is really fucking annoying tbhwy. Especially if I sail an army out to Naggaroth or Albion to deal with them, only to find there's an army or black ark that's slipped past and about to attack Ulthuan.
>>565896372>Legacy Army ListAre you ok Druchii nigger ?
>>565896849>trannypersimmons
>>565896849>he has to pay for his rules>DruchiiGODS get theirs for freeLMAO the absolute state of paypigs
>>565896595Early game High Elf Archers fuck the Dark Elves so badly, you just need to focus fire. Late game your army should have no problem rolling them, just make sure you have something fast and durable to scout a head and reveal all those shades they love to spam.
>>565896849Dark elves are coming this summer. They are the reason High Elves won't be able to come and help the Empire and Kislev.
>>565833120Imagine being a dark angels fan>Oh we're the first (thunder warriors)>We have le bikes ( white scars) >Oh we have super secret tech nobody else has (iron hands)>We're knights (black templars and arguably most chapters period)>We have wings on our armor (blood Angels)>We had a schism during the hh (as it turns out most legions had this)>Our primarch is back from being in stasis (ultramarines)>We're secretive (literally everyone cept orks)We're uh......green(didn't even start off green, was originally black....like two other legions)What's the incentive? Where's the novelty? Fists are less vanilla
>>565897597nope, dark elves are not being added to the old world
>>565898875DA are the least vanilla of the SM chapters and most expensive to collect too. Each of their wings has it's own model range. Also, Black Templars aren't knights. They are literal larpers that unironically are based off DA as their founder was friends with a Dark Angel. I won't even speak about the Ravenwing because White Scars wish they could do half of the shit that single unit can.
>>565898875>What's the incentive? Where's the novelty?The Watchers are pretty cute.Though the schism thing is actually pretty hilarious, they've defined their identity and committed innumerable atrocities trying to hide the fact they had a schism during the Heresy when EVERY legion had a schism, some more than others.
>>565898875plasma weapons, thats their gimmickiron hands is mech
>>565899232DA problem is that they thought they killed all their traitors during the heresy but then in 33th millennium the same traitors started to literally time travel from the past to the future. That's why they hide it. It's a entire plot that combines Heresy and 40k era plots that resulted in it. In general DA have some of the most bizarre and convoluted lore in 40k.
>>565899451its actually the other way around, the traitors are from the future and went back in time to create a causal loop by bringing the traitors of the past across time
>>565900220I also love Astelan and his cope. >worshiping nurgle is normal for a loyal servant of the Emperor!!!
>>565900401Never got his obsession of combinjng Death Guard and Dark Angel into the Death Angels. What's even the point? DG are perpetual jobbers while DA haven't lost a single battle in the heresy. It's like he wants to enshitify his own legion.
What are assurfags gonna do when ET drops and they will have to play as Malekith to play as elves?
>>565902828Why would they? Malekith had to beat Tyrion to hit EK status, so clearly if the elf war is bring put in the game tyrion will be playable (and will fuck malekith's mom)
>>565903232Leakers say ET map is post Ulthuan sinking.
>>565903373That's interesting because I'm a leaker and I was personally involved in the new Asur victory cinematic where Tirion violently sodomizes Morathi
>>565903373"Leakers" are just random people posting whatever they wantThere's no evidence of a new end times map. There's no evidence the end times will not simply occur on the immortal empires map, which has obvious locations for most of the end times lords people think will be added
>>565903373>Leakers say ET map is post Ulthuan sinking.lmao, yeah I'm sure they will remove a huge chunk of map and somehow find other places to fit all those LLs that would need to be moved
>>565903794Most of ET takes place in the Empire. It's reasonable to expect that the ET map will be a expanded version of the TW1 map.
>>565903373>>565903679they outright said that they are testing map being altered in ET. One of the examples being sinking Ulthuan. It's not a separate map, just world properly changing Chaos Invasion was always so boring in TWW. I always wanted for them to rip off Fall From Heaven https://fallfromheaven.fandom.com/wiki/Armageddon_Counter
>>565903923Anon what are you smoking? They've already done a campaign fly-over and we already know it's just the immortal empires map with tweaked areas and visuals.https://youtu.be/FLjrKH5w9n8
>>565904010is that a basedjak?
>>565903373You'd believe internet randos over devs in their own blog video?
>>565904087>>565905543I believed in the roadmap. So I'm over CA saying anything.
>>565905445
20 years and I just discovered how Berserkers are in Rome 1Currently doing a Spartan campaign and these fucks routed three of my Spartan Hoplites who otherwise I have never seen break and would fight to the last manWill now have to conscript every Cretan man and femboy to become an archer to deal with GermaniaNext campaign will be berserker only Großgermania for me for sure
>>565906297The roadmap had SoC release quality DLCs. Clearly you wouldn't want that right? Personally it was worth the additional wait to get more in those DLCs.

>>565907262Not happening Legend.
>>565819574damn bratty chaos prince... needs everchosen correction !!!!
>>565897438Tbhwy most of my armies are just rangers/spearmen/archers and the Dark Elf armies are increasingly full of higher-tier stuff.It'd be a bit more managable using my low-tier units against the Dark Elves if they weren't throwing such a mix of stuff at me. It's a challenge dealing with HG Executioners/BG of Naggarond/shades/sisters of slaughter/medusas/war hydras all in the same army.I should try to get higher-tier stuff in my armies earlier, but I don't like dismissing units after they've helped me win so many battles. It feels wrong. I try to swap them to my 2nd/3rd/4th armies when possible. Wish there was a way to assign those units to garrisons instead of them being permanently deleted.
ROME HAS CONQUERED THE POST BELOW
Hopleetays!

>>565808947I hate how Games Workshop always makes elves lose in every shape and form. Would be nice if at the very least they would get some revenge on the dwarfs.
