It has more reviews that the following DLC;
Sayl
Dechala
Aislinn
Changeling
Yuan Bo
Ostankya
Gorbad
Golgfag
Skulltaker
Tamurkhan
The Silence and the Fury
The Shadow and the Blade
The Queen and the Crone
Norsca
The King and the Warlord
The Grim and the Grave

Most people don't review meaning a slightly higher review number implies a much larger purchase number. Not saying the DLC is good mind you but Cathay sells even when it's shit, that's what has been shown to us by Bhashiva.

Only SoC. If you look, some of the WH2 DLC is among the highest reviews which simply isn't possible if they got nuked years after the fact, only SoC got nuked as it was the only one that got deleted and replaced by 3 smaller ones, everything else was just added to the WH3 store page without deleting the pages for the previous game versions.

They have this lame guy who has lost 13 crusades called Abbadon. Total fucking loser. You'll hate him.

Unfortunately Chaos Marines in 40k is pretty lame compared to Chaos Warriors. The vibes are totally different. I'm a Chaos Warrior diehard and I despise Chaos in 40k. They're about as threatening as a sack of potatoes.

Good news is there are tons of other cool factions to main.

Erebus is one of the weakest dudes on the Chaos roster, wtf you smoking. He's a little manipulative fuck. He isn't their faction leader.

There is no one threatening on the Chaos roster that matches Archaon. Abbadon has had 13 tries and MORE IMPORTANTLY HE LOOKS RETARDED.

Erebus singlehandedly orchestrated the heresy and continues to prove he's the greatest and most powerful character in the setting on a regular basis, also he's relentlessly handsome.

Every time an Elf says she enjoys talking to you, she said the same exact thing to 30 other Squires shortly before you.
Every time you ask an Elf about her interests, 30 Squires have asked her the same exact thing that same day.
Every time you tell her about somewhere you're thinking of conquering, 30 other Squires have told her that too moments ago.
Every time an Elf tells you she's feeling lonely, she said that to 30 other Squires shortly before you.
Every time she tells you anything, she's said the same thing to 30 other Squires shortly before you.

You are literally nothing but just another Squire out of the hundreds. Nothing you do is special or different to her. She doesn't need you. You're nice? Cool she has 20 nice Squires sending trade agreements to her regularly. You're mean? Cool she has 20 mean Squires threatening to declare war against her regularly. You're ripped? Cool she has 20 ripped Squires willing to wrestle with her regularly. You send her a Non Aggression Pact in the hopes of getting to know her? So did 100 other Squires just before you. You share Map Information and Military Access with her? Even your views on the Empire and ideas of future conquest? Cool, so do 50 other Squires that are engaging in diplomacy with her right now. You're willing to offer her a city you just took, and you offer it for free? Great so do 20 other Squires.

The only reason she even talks to new Squires, including you, is because she's addicted to being loved by new Squires and collecting allies/sexual conquests, but she will get bored of it very quickly and declare war on you. It might take a few hours, or days, or a few weeks. But it will happen. Because ask yourself, why would she pick you out of hundreds of other Squires who are currently also trying to get her attention just as much as you are?

With that in mind, have fun and good luck finding that Elven gf. (Yes this applies to every single Squire posting here as well, there are no exceptions.)

gato blanco campaign kinda sucks. Once Grimgor decides to try to pet your pussy you're dragged into the Chaos wars with all the terrain maluses once you have to leave the mountains to stomp kholek and tamurkhan. Also Zhao Ming is so fucking stingy with the missions, every other request is asking me to merk my homie Greasus(I refused to go south into the Blue Rose+Poogath thunderdome) or wait out a 10 turn timer.

They're actually fairly close to even. A chosen has better armor and is more physically tough, but the grail knight has a slight ward advantage. They're identical offensively in the source material. It's a matter of equipment really. A chosen with a great weapon or halberd wrecks a grail knight on foot, but if they charged into each other on horseback with lances the grail knight would win.

I’m a big nurgle nigga and I honestly think glotkin should be a LH instead of an alleged LL in endtmes. Just a fighty monster thats’s also a mage. But again, stinkybois suffer from winning too hard.
Anyways, maybe I’ll pivot to an elspeth/malakai roc and then tam ie after, go hunt an endgame crisis cranked up or something.

Sounds like an autism problem on your side mate.

Yeah, they're primarily melee units. Only the Nurglite one has a proper long-ranged mortar; the Tzeentchian one has a cannon-type weapon meant for big targets and the Khornate one has a precursor ranged weapon used on a charge. The Slaaneshi one doesn't have any ranged capability whatsoever.

They have no purpose. They are just really bad.
In theory they should soften up targets before they charge in with their super high speed. But they just suck.

What does that have to do with anything? All units besides Lords take fall damage, simple as. If you have enough mass, you could throw em off cathay's bridges or cliffs but no unit has enough mass to push artillery pieces.

The entire thing with the nurgle/tzeentch WGs is that they have artillery range while still being pretty fucking fast

okay I thought about it being possibly high fantasy, I always imagine the empire and bretonnia first, dirty pikemen and peasants against monsters n ghouls

then you go to high elves and its 100% high fantasy, overall the setting isn't low fantasy mb
it's definitely distinct tho while AoS looks like 40k with its space marines and sanitized factions, idk if theres any down to earth factions in AoS, I haven't rly examined it

Slight correction on the wood elves:
Asrai Specifically are for Brettonian men. Imperial men are, however, entitled to the women of the Eonir (Laurelorn elves). They’re kinda similar to the Asrai but much less autistic and more amenable to diplomacy.
>>
>>568344052
That’s actually the one change I do like. They made wood elves fun to paint, while still being an organic evolution.

Also the spirits or whatever they’re called have bigger boobs than any elf model, also after looking at them again, sisters of the thorn are really ugly.

Del Toro hadn't even started pre production before he dropped because he likes to stuff his schedule to bursting.
New Line under Warner Bros management threatened to pull production from New Zealand if Jackson refused to direct so he basically had to do it to save a bunch of New Zealand jobs.
Also they gave him a tiny ammount of pre production time.

The Hobbit movies were mostly fucked by execs demanding more length so they could be made into a trilogy, which required padding the fuck out of the action scenes, creating new side plotlines or inserting new characters or expanding on characters that had minimal presence in the book. There is unironically a very good and faithful adaptation buried under there that you can get out by JUST cutting away at all the stuff that got added for the movies. And some of the additions aren't even that bad, Azog being a recurring villain so the orcs don't come out of literally nowhere in the ending was a decent decision, as was giving Bard a slightly bigger role so he doesn't again just come out of literally nowhere to kill Smaug as he does in the book.

Now, you could cricize Jackson for the quality of the added plotlines and why the actions scenes were so ridiculous that they looked like they'd fit better into a wuxia film, but at that point I just have no idea how the process for those went. I could easily see some out of touch exec also being all like "No, we NEED a romance subplot! It's what sells! I don't care that there's not really any moments in the narrative for one to develop, get it done!".

Even the empire is already pretty high fantasy, and they're the most """grounded""" faction in the game. Sure if you just showed random person one of those empire artworks whete they just focus on knights alone or something you could be forgiven for thinking it's low fantasy, but after even 5 minutes of googling you should know better.
And that's not even getting into what high vs low fantasy ACTUALLY means.

Yeah I think that's a lost battle, to most people nowadays it's just used as a vague distinction of how much magic is present in the setting/story.

its simply "the vibe", high fantasy is never grimdark, maybe lotr is a good example, silmarillion world vs LOTR world where lotr world is low fantasy and its basically post apocalpytic and barren as fuck, because warhammer is grimdark its hard to imagine it has high fantasy, because like others have pointed out the average empire citizen which is how people would imaigne themselves as live a life more focused on science than magic, some races live n breathe magic like helves I suppose, not humans tho

so the "vibe" is low fantasy even tho the setting is not

If a dragon burns down your village or if some vikings do it, you're still left with a burnt out village. Doesn't make the dragon less magical.
Orcs and beastmen thematically take the roles of ooga booga barbarians in the overall setting, true. They're a fantasical analogue to a more or less historical trope of the savage raider, but that doesn't make them non fantastic creatures.

The CGI was shit just because it happened during the middle of a Hollywood implosion as all of these unprofitable cg studios were dying off.
The hobbit trilogy was the last great testament to the monstrous incompetence and backroom degeneracy of the Weinstein era, a snapshot of moral recidivism as a headless industry fell back on what it new before finally sprawling out and letting Disney devour it.

It's an unintentional monument to how fucking stupid and disgusting Hollywood always was behind the scenes, like the leftover shell fields from the Battle of Verdun or the field of unburied human remains from Stalingrand

Anon the main antagonist of the series is a fallen angel. You've got orcs and elves and dwarfs and magic weapons and wizards fighting sorcery duels and ghost warriors showing up.

>but what about silmarillon
Even higher fantasy
>>
>>568357747
It's like how got is low fantasy because even though the world has all sorts of magic it's super rare and most characters would consider it not real. Even if dragons are known to be real they are meant to be fully gone from the world by the time of the show.
>>
>>568357771
That has nothing to do with anything? They’re both high fantasy. Silmarillion being the Middle Earth Old Testament doesn’t change that LotR is still high fantasy. It’s baked into Middle-Earth’s inherent construction as a universe

Got has a genuine case though because the story is 99% just human feudal politics, it's really only the dragon lady and ice zombie plotlines that are more high fantasy and they're pretty disconnected from everything else (for now)

So it's the correct then, it's one of the problems with the definitions of Low fantasy = Earth-based fantasy, it includes stuff like LotR, which 100% shoulden't be "low fantasy," since LotR is the example everyone thinks when someone says "high Fantasy"

Magic is literally at the brink in LotR. It's pretty much fully gone when the elves and wizards leave Middle Earth which is only a few decades after the story ends.

what people are saying when they called Warhammer Fantasy "low fantasy" is just that it's meant to be somewhat analogous to the real world with more of a focus on the mundane. It was kind of meant to just resemble Earth wars if you reskinned various countries of the world. That's in comparison to high fantasy hero's journey type of stories where the stakes are elevated and dealing with mythical being and properties. Difference between being Not-France fighting Not-Britain in Warhammer Fantasy vs. the Stormcast Eternals being immortal warriors forged by Sigmar by fucking with the souls of fallen soldiers and celestial energy and then sending them through portals to fight wars against gods and demons in different space realms.
>>
>>568359260
>it's really only the dragon lady and ice zombie plotlines that are more high fantasy and they're pretty disconnected from everything else (for now)
Those two plotlines are ultimately the main plotlines of the story, the entire point is that the feudal nonsense is a distraction from the real threat. The books also generally do a better job of interweaving the feudal stuff with at least a bit more magic, the show just really hated the magic part of the universe and cut it as much as possible.

magic being "gone" doesn't make something low fantasy. you can have high fantasy without magic.

I feel like if you have to rely on secondary sources (i.e. tolkien's letters and essays and whatever) to even figure out that lotr technically takes place in our world's distant past it doesn't really count.
But yes I agree with your take that we've got a bit of prescriptivist vs descriptivist situation going on, for most people high and low fantasy just mean "lots" and "little" magic respectively so that's kind if what we're stuck with.
>>568359971

You know how historically nationalism often only really took off in response to an "other"? The HRE getting btfo by napoleon kickstarting a sense of unity among the german states; the british reign doing something similar for the various indian peoples, basically every modern nation state in africa, etc? Often a "common enemy", an "other" is required to form a common identity.
Something similar happened with fantasy when it died and got replaced by AoS. Sigmar was seen as the great enemy, and fantasy fans redefined what fantasy meant in opposition to AoS. Because AoS is so batshit off the wall higher than high fantasy, whfb fans started to define their game as the "grounded", "realistic" and indeed "low fantasy" game. Now in fairness, in comparison with AoS this is not entirely unfounded, but when people started using this as a *general* characteristic of Warhammer Fantasy it become obviously retarded.
Tldr: fantasy fans want whfb to be low fantasy because aos is very high fantasy and being as different as possible from aos makes them feeling better

Doesn't matter if you watch RLM. Their Prequel videos were a plague the infested the internet and they're in no small part responsible for the way people think about the Prequels these days. Your "Surrounded by yes men" narrative was a common talking point from their video that arose directly from them cutting up behind the scenes footage to make Lucas look unfavorable without full context. Again, you don't have to like the Prequels but you're pretending you know what happened because it's been a general unquestioned talking point on the internet for decades despite no evidence.

it is pretty funny considering how silly Warhammer has always been. Warhammer Fantasy is filled with toilet humor and fantasy nonsense but people try to retroactively pretend it's always been a serious low fantasy wargame
>>
>>568361985
It's a spectrum without a very obvious border imo. But imo the presence of various fantastical non human races (trolls, orcs, elves, ...), somewhat common magical artifacts, wizards, an immortal magical demon overlord, ghosts, a fire demon, ... lands it somewhat comfortably in the territory of high fantasy.

It's arguable if only the bad guys have all that it's closer to saying its fantasy intrusion in an otherwise normal world and therefore leaning back to low fantasy again. The good guys have elves and dwarves, but in terms of magic they only have a wizard who won't cast spells.

i feel like it can't be high fantasy if it's not Earth plain and simple. Tolkien's universe has its own entirely unique cultures races and languages. It's very distinctly not the real world.

People ITT really trying to say Harry Potter is high fantasy and LotR isnt
>>
>>568362856
The various fantastical races don't really do magic anymore, magical artifacts are actually fairly uncommon (and Narsil and Anduril in fact aren't magical at all), Gandalf does very little magic and what magic he does is usually fairly subtle, the magical demon overlord is in a pitiful state compared to the shit that went on back in the day, the ghosts move on during the story and the fire demons are also explicitly very rare when compared to the shit that went on back in the day. If LotR is not the archetypal "this is the end of days for magic" story I don't know what is. The state of the ents and the entire Scouring of the Shire part of the story make it even more explicit.
>>
>>568364441
Conan isn't low fantasy, it's sword and sorcery. Which is way more based and the genre should have followed that instead of what we got. Imagine karl franz just being a bad ass hammer man traveling and uniting a broken land.

>>568365127
Anon it doesn't matter that the average peasant isn't going to see a magical sword in their life, or that the balrog is akshually very rare one of a kind thing; the characters through which we encounter the world DO interact with all this fantastical shit and creatures and that's what ultimately matters for this kind or stuff.
I'm not denying that the fading of magic is a major theme, but as things stand in the story of lotr the thing is definitely high fantasy.
>>
>>568365243
why not?
it takes place on earth and has fantastical elements, anons like >>568363779 say that's what low fantasy means
>>
This whole high or low fantasy thing is just a semantics debate, they're arbitrary categories that didn't even exist when the bulk of Warhammer's background was written.

>>
>>568365997
So is high fantasy what's on screen or the actual theme of the story? Obviously if we base our judgement on the former LotR is high fantasy (although less of the story is magically based than one might think) but if it's based on theme LotR is really low fantasy. Do comparisons to other time periods in the same world also matter? ASOIAF is low fantasy because it has much less magic compared to earlier periods in the world's history and by that logic LotR should be low fantasy as well.
>>
>>568366101
It's not really earth though, it's like lotr where it's "technically" earth but has its own distinct landmasses, cultures, languages, species, etc etc.
When people say it takes place on earth they mean dracula and harry potter and twilight and shit.
Though I don't know where something like narnia would fit in here.

Only really in terms of WFRP, the older edition of WFB from the early 80s are pretty standard high fantasy fare since it was just a ruleset to mash the Citadel historical ranges with the Fantasy range they made for D&D, RuneQuest, ect.

>>
>>568367584
Yes but WFRP is where a lot of the early background came from. Basically everything about the Empire and so on. This whole genre and tone confusion has been going on with some people for a long ass time, because it depends on which part of Warhammer you're looking at and whether it's the battle game, the novels, the RPG, the art..
My point was just that anon was being a retard bringing up aos.

>>568365706
Sigmar is background lore in warhammer.
>>
>>568366608
I think generally people are talking mostly about what's on screen yeah, we use these terms to compare, let's say, the "main story" to other fantasy works, not other time periods within the world itself.
Similarly for example in harry potter 99.99% of the population is completely unaware of anything magical going on, though of course the ACTUAL story is all about magic.
So yes I'd say what the characters experience in the main story is the most important characteristic here.
Asoiaf you might even say transitions from (or will transition from) a mostly low fantasy story to one that gradually gets more and more high fantasy as those elements become more important in the story (the rebirth of dragons, the ice zombies marching south and starting to influence the story at large, the fire religion growing in power possible due to the rebirth of said dragons etc)

REH spent more effort trying to tie his Hyborian and Thurian ages into real-world history and cultures than Tolkien did, and wrote stories where Hyborian age stuff shows up in the modern day, like The Hunter of the Ring or Skull-face
