Thanquol soon, friends!
LL for this feel?
PC gaming show live in 3 hours :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRVxQ7VLmHI(possibility that TWW40K will appear there)
>>569757823Does fat british faggots talking about the game instead of showing it count as an appearance? If yes then it's already confirmed, if not then lmao.
reminder that vampirates are the coolest thing in the gameyou are a fag if you disagreeeven if you agree you are a fagyou fucking faggot
>>569757823its guaranteed not a possibility, but it'll be some boring under the scenes stuff like dev tools or what not, I want either actual gameplay or another trailer
>>569758282I disagree and am a faggot
>mp world championshipAny anons going to enter?
I'm at the show. Total War schedule was already brought up.>Will show army painter footage using Marine and Imperial Guard examples>Will show off Warlords and Legendary Warlords. Warlords are custom characters, Legendary Warlords are named lore characters. Marneus Calgar will have footage shown, art for Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka will also be shown.>Interviews will cover new engine mechanics on both planetary and battle scale>Release window for "Summer 2027"
unfuckingbelievable
>>569759086>Warlords are custom characters,I wonder if they ever plan to fix daemon prince. And maybe if we are lucky dogs of war will have a custom lord too.
>>569759086summer 2027? zzzexpected this winter
I hope that unit is useful for you bhashiva :)
why does the game treat Sarthoreal the Ever-Watcher like he's some kind of important character when he's a fodder minor faction in both IE and RoC
>>569760418he's one of those semi-unique characters like alastairand put some respect on his name, we used to have to beat him up as WoC in WH1
>>569757736Tehenhauin
>>569760215>this is a close victorywhat the fuck is wrong with tamurkhan
>>569759813Nobody is going to release anything this year because of GTA VI
>>569761245cheat faction to make people buy DLC, please understand
>>569761245Tamurkhan's the strongest LL in the game, you shouldn't even consider fighting manual battle if you don't have at least a few powerful shooters dedicated to killing him.
time to rape these monkeys with magic
>>569761562I beat him once, but that was a "kill the rest of his army then mob him on triple speed" kinda ordealwhere the fuck are all the anti-large ogre units
>>569762020>built in 40% magic resThis will take a while.
>valiant defeatokay so ogre bulls just don't autoresolve I guess
>>569749570Depends on the matchup and what i expect to face, usually the most meta approach is mass glade guard opener with dryads+cavalry for backupBut heavy skirmish or infantry heavy can be good to, even pure wardancer rush, i'll show you some of my builds when i get home
>>569757736Guilliman
How do I start learning to get better with moving my troops in the battlefield?
>>569762479Gnoblars have better ar than bulls, lol. Bulls always get raped first.
>>569762343it works
>>569762945Pause the game more often.
>>569763571That's illegal
>>569759086Summer 2027 comports with what we've seen of their current place in development. In fact I'd almost be concerned it's a little soon in development terms. I sincerely hope they don't pull a Rome 2 and rush it out with all the mid-development problems and teething issues unfixed.
>>569757545>future games show>show nothing about total warSo the franchise is dead?
>>569762945Pause the game or put it in slowmo. The tactics and motions are all the same, but playing in realtime means making those decisions fast. It's fine to start slow and work your way up, you're building the foundational skills either way.
>>569763719Yes, and hyenas killed it.
>>569763858I really hope they're not threatening people with a PSO3.
You should consider flashpoints whilst the battle is loading.Prepare contingency plans in your mind. Always expect the unexpected.
>>569762307Earliest good Anti-Large is t3 (leadbelchers). You also get Great Weapon Maneaters and Mournfang/Crusher GWs. Their Anti-large is pretty good, it just unlocks from t3 onwards. No t1 chaff AL, although Gnoblar Trappers can do surprising alount of damage to unarmored Large due to their massive unit size.
>>569766083Don't kitty kats unlock antilarge in some early research? Pretty sure they do.
>>569765287>select army>right click enemyWorks every time.
Bretonnia news when?
>>569766873based Khornechad
Ctrl+G to lock group your armyAlt+RMB enemy to auto the fight:)
>>569767064mon seigneur...
any mods that remove tamurkhan from the game?
Any mods that add tung tung sahur to the game?

>>569769295Tis a great day!
>>569757736
>>569759086>Release window for "Summer 2027"
I can't do it guysI can't do another battle against tamurkhan
>>569759086>Marneus Calgarthat literally who eceleb who showed up on announcment is him I'd wager
>>569761221Tehenhauin sieg heil
>>569761245He is this fucking powerful?.. I never played against him early...>>569761245Yes actually maybe this cav can fuck up his melee troops
>>569761262Barbie is releasing a game in November THOUGH
>>569759086So>Calgar for Space Marines>Ghazghkull for Orks>Yarrick for GuardWho's the Eldar representative? Also 4 LL's is even smaller than Pharaoh on launch so I hope there's a second one for each race that just hasn't been announced.
>>569761262I couldn't be less intererested in another gta if I tried.
>>569774912EldradI think we will have 2 subfactions for every faction. It's already a thing with Cadia and Steel legion
>>569775017Why's that, anon?

It looks actually pretty fucking good.They're really putting their backs into it.
I wonder if any of the anons that get in will be legally allowed to show gameplay. Probably not if it's closed right?

>>569794721I'll show it anyways. At worst assuming they track me down they'll just pull beta access. If they have random sign ups on their site it's not that serious.
>>569794794It needs your name, email address and country of residence. That's all.
>that bombardment from the guardI came, TW really needed a new engine.
Can some autist compile every single clip of gameplay?

>>569795041I can, it'll take a little bit though.
>Muh 16 units max
Nah bruh the battles look like a reskin of warhammer fantasy lmao
Holy shit they actually delivered, people saying this would be bad are in shambles.
>>569795321But hypesisters told me it would be a new engine!
>>569795321>>569795354the duality of anon
is the astra militirum THE corner camping faction?the interview showed them having fall of the samurai style bombardment abilities, sounds like they'll be ideal for sitting in the corner bombing the orcs and space elves
>>569795294>Light, medium and heavy armorInteresting >All those individual gunsVery nice.
>>569795354I expected nothing but yapping and recycled contentAtleast they've shown actual battle gameplay, although, heavily cropped
the worlds look amazingtoo bad about the lasguns
>>569795294>It's another 20 unit army cap.1998 called.
>>569795294tired of seeing these completely useless "at a glance" stat cards that nobody ever uses
>>569795529>is the astra militirum THE corner camping faction?Considering they are THE corner camping army in the tabletop alongside Tau, probably.
>>569795616So don't use them?
im good, i will wait for medieval 3
Hard cap of 40 units on the field at once.
This will be the real test for CAIf the units can shoot properly in these defensive positions or not
>>569795953Holy shit, shit posters fucking destroyed.
>>569795294ok, actual observations>units are broken up into light/medium/heavy and unit damage effectiveness against each independently, essentially rock/paper/scissors (sounds derogatory, its more matter of fact)>SEMs still exist, expected, idk where a battlewagon is on the foodchain compared to something like a stomper>did observe a cover system in motion>40 unit cap (unknown if unit number or a cost system)>some form of reinforcement system>armies still led by a lord, and idk how command works in 40k, but there appear to be 2 lords or a lord and hero>no formation button, i see (left to right high to low); attack or melee, scout?, hold position/guard mode, ?, attack/range attack, reinforce, can't see, and either about face or retreat
>>569796006we'll be lucky if they can walk into position correctlywonder if it will be actual physical cover or just a damage mitigation buff or both
>>569794794I don't mind CA knowing that I'm totally John Smith and I was certainly born in 1964
>>569796006This makes me a little nervous because the AI would shit the bed hard on this terrain on current games
>>569796087>>some form of reinforcement systemI told you allIt's Survival Battle/Domination reinforcement systemAll those battles are "flashpoints" of big frontlines. Orks and IG constantly pours in from map borders
>>569796202could be a reserve cap, but idk. the current unit cards on screen presumably extends to the minimap and then maybe starts to stack.>>569796202did see the space marines vaulting over the sandbag emplacements in motion.
>>569795953Honestly that feels kind of small for 40k
>>569796380The current games are also using an old as fuck engine.
>>569796087>SEMs still exist, expected, idk where a battlewagon is on the foodchain compared to something like a stomperIn the TT there is no tier system, its a point system, the stompa is more expensive but the battlewagon is not cheap, its one of the heavier ork vehicles>armies still led by a lord, and idk how command works in 40k, but there appear to be 2 lords or a lord and heroCharacters are all HQ and any of them can be warlord (unless they have specific rules forbiding another being warlord).The warlord is the equivalent to the "lord"
>>569796506No one called DoW small for 40k though, why is it a problem here when this scale was never tried in a 40k game before?
>>569796380Current ai cant even retreat/regroup and just constantly advancing
I would honestly rather see wh1-3 + all dlcs remade on the new engine than 40k, and would pay full price for that over total war 40k 1-3.I know that sounds paypiggy as hell, but 40k is really just not it for me.
>>569796506I know Total War has never actually had full scale battles but it's still disappointing to see that Warlord titan scale units are still too big for the rest of the game.
>>569796726I don't know, I never played DoW and I don't care about it
>animation of infantry jumping over sandbag rather than walk through itgives me atleast some kind of hope that cover will work
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXW6GFxYxsQ
>>569796506the pathfinding ai can only handle so much small indie company please understand
All I saw when looking at the gameplay footage was>god I hope they improved the pathfinding
>>569796087>some form of reinforcement systemSeems pretty obvious that Aislinn's final quest battle was a beta test for this shit. Basically, you can use points to buy reinforcements and also withdraw units from the field to replenish them.
I WILL spam baneblades and you will NOT stop me
>>569794794No idea why I signed up since I'm on Linux, but I'll give it a shot with my toaster and see how it runs. At the very least if I get in I can give the 10 other people in my position some feedback.
>dow2 style coversquad morale restored
God I hate this pastel artstyle every fucking game has nowadays
>>569796506>>569796506not even the tabletop is that big, I don't know about Apocalypse but there's no way anyone has that many models even at the official events
>IG are just Handgunners with full auto peashootersKWAB
>>569796745I wonder if we will ever get a Warhammer 2 1-3 series or if this current iteration is what we will be stuck with now and forever
>>569797173GW changing lasguns from lasers into peashooters was one of the worst changes in recent 40k history
>>569797195only after AoS flops
>>569796840Then shut the fuck up, tourist.
>>569797146There's no way to get around the fact that managing that many plastic figures would be a pain in the ass but I would've hoped that Total War would've been able to get closer to the scale of all of the cinematics and artworks
>>569796745Pretty same. I have enough 40k with a DoW and Rogue Trader and even Mechanicus soon. I just like fantasy settings more than sci-fi
I will try to make nice webms out of thiscampaign map
>>569796861That technology existed back in Empire and Napoleon.
>>569797652>Mechanicus soondidn't mechanicus 2 release and it's absolute ass?
>>569797631First thing im doing when getting my hands on it is finding out how to mod unit size to double it and pray that it doesnt break the game
>>56979730810+ years of 40k, 10+ years of AoS, then 10+ years for a Warhammer remake series to be fully completed. At least I'll be retired by then and have time to play it.
>you're a tourist if you don't care about relic's shitty 40k games from 2 decades ago while posting in the TOTAL WAR GENERAL
>>569797631With movement trays you could do a lot more
>units armed with las weapons>only have ammo for 15 volleys a battle before upgradesI can smell it already
>>56979689031 seconds in shows the cover system.Basically Napoleon's. You drag the unit across the piece of cover and they distribute themselves across it.
Still not a believer.
>>569797824it's extremely easy to do on the current engine
>>569797931>shittyYou're fine to argue this isn't the thread for it but it is mentioned, don't be a faggot.
>>569797824it wont break the game you'll just risk making the game chug in larger battlesthe game itself will be running fine but units will be stuttering as the pathfinding algo tries to keep up
They didn't say when we would hear next about the game
>>569798018There's probably going to be ammo replenishment spots
>no Rogal Dorn>no IG air units, they're just off-battlefield powers>only Cadians>Cadians in Armageddon>no Chimeras, Basilisks, Hellhounds, Taurox, no Manticore, no Hydra, no Banewolf, no Centaur, no Hippogriff>only a Baneblade and not other variants
>>569795041>>569795180All Gameplay Segments. Cut the audio because otherwise it's annoying with the constant cutting.https://litter.catbox.moe/i1ukz0.mp4I can also post them individually but that'll take a while because there's a lot to post if I divide it into 4mb parts.
>>569797713
>>569798332>no IG air units, they're just off-battlefield powersIsn't that what they oughta be?
>>569798332>they gonna sell the units themselves as dlc just like james workshop does with his shitty modelsYou just know it.
>>569798332>DLC>Maybe DLC>DLC>Not just Armageddon, they're using it since it's the setting for 11th>DLC>DLC DLC DLC
>>569798332
>>569798442icky looking lascannon sfx but I know its just a palette swap or a luminark or something
>>569798332Everyone is on Armageddon, not only Steel Legiondlc milking is honestly not surprising
>>569798332>no Rogal Dornthere's clearly one at top right, GW is too jewish to NOT shill their latest models, it's why they're showing off Armageddon in the first place, Chimera chassis are fucked though for sure just because they aren't the shiny new vehicles >>569795294
>>569798332In a brave and inspiring move, CA has decided to release a game with 4 factions, getting a lord, a hero and 6 units each.
>>569798929>>569798442>>569798358Kasrkin look like those meme niggers with mechs which were parading around some time ago
>>569798950with these many spess mehreens on one planet, who is in charge?do original legion chapters hold more sway over second founding and successor chapters?
>>569798332in modern day 40k there are only three regiments, Cadians Krieg and Catachan :^)
>>569799248https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1amwkUgmrg
>>569798442Looks like the firepower system will replace anti-infantry, anti-large, AP etc.Also, yeah, this shit is just not for me. That console HUD is disgusting. Guess I'll enjoy WH3 while it lasts.
>>569798358god's work anon
>UI even worse than Pharaohbravo TCALUK
>>569799452yeah, those guys
>>569799295they typically have all the senior officers of the different chapters come together and either discuss things among peers or pick someone to be an executive authority (usually a spechul named character) assuming they're not all their under the command of one of the few people who actually has authority to command them
>>569799248this actually looks better than I was expecting ngl
Man, all fucking thumbnails and unit cards for guard are fucking niggers
>>569799564I'm going to generously assume that's just a quick rundown assessment of AP vs base damage according to fire rate or aoe potential but knowing what they've done to fuck with how units stats work before for no good reason I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something
>>569799834so are they doing the wargame/warno thing of trickling in reinforcements
Are transport vehicles a thing or is that lost archeotech from the Halo Wars 2 days?
Looks to be an Eldar character in the middle.
>>569799943The Ogryns are still russian, and that's what matters
>>569799564they've been trying to simplify unit cards like that since 3K
>>569799979It's Domination from TWW3. That's why Domination exists in TWW3 to begin with>>569800059Looks like generic Warlock
>>569800005I don't see much point in transports desuThe maps would need to be the triple of the current size in order to justify transports.
>>569800005I think we saw chimeras but I doubt guardmen squads as shown would be able to fit in them
>>569800125the fuck is domination? is it like king of the hill?
>>569800125BASEDFinally you shitters are going to have to learn the cost of elite units being outnumbered instead of just throwing a stack of exclusively t4/t5 at everything
>>569800227It's what CA gave MPfags from RTS babbies whining
>>569800005You would think so if only because almost every faction has transports, rhinos and falcons are pretty iconic
>>569798929hate to be that guy but dow2 had better visual effects. I think it was made by the same guys who made sfx for company of heroes.
>>569800227TWW3 has survival battles in Realms of Chaos campaignAnd Domination mode for multiplayerIn both you can summon units out of thin air from reserve, during battle. It was a blatant prototype for TWW40
>>569800414I wanna get into WH3 multiplayer desu, but I can barely run the game
>>569798929The right one seems like it has a wispy smoke trail, might be a lower tier cannon
>>569799804In all of wh3 the explosions always looked and felt shit for basically no reason.
>>569800132Great, nice to know that instead of one big problem (APCs/IFVs are tanks but worse), we have 2 big problems (map design's so shit transport vehicles serve no role in a mechanized infantry setting and they can't even transport units in the first place)
>>569799390Modifiers for campaigns on release is good. Hopefully as customisable as Pharaoh. I wonder what tarots are for if not modifers
>>569800847its a baneblade so they're lascannons, the right one just fired slightly earlier so its dissipated a bit more in the screenshot
>>569800132>The maps would need to be the triple of the current size in order to justify transports.well they do seem to be triple the size compared to TWW3
>>569798028looks like they can stand on the 2nd floor of the building too
>>569794721They probably want it to leak.
>>569801058>buildings can actually be used and they're destructiblePinch me
>yellow las boltsThey can't keep getting away with it
>>569801058yes, they showed it in previous dev diary too. There is cover on elevation>>569799248
>>569799390Is that Macha?
>>569801058GET UP ON DEM WALLZ LADZ
>>569801373YES BOSS!
>>569801231Red lasgun beams will be one of the highest rated mods on Workshop since release and it will stay that way>>569801295Same thing I thought. Looks like Macha from DoW3
If they wanted to go for generic guardsman with they use that green anyways? Odd choice.
>>569799390>Biel-tan spookNice
>>569801730
>khorne's symbol is a stylized skull>nurgle's icon is a stylized biohazard icon>slaanesh's glyph is a stylized sex symbol>horned rat's mark is a stylized rat's head>tzeentch's rune is... a fish or something idkExplain this to me
>>569801825>khorne's symbol is a stylized skull?
>>569801825BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION
>>569801825Pretty sure Tzeentch's is supposed to be a flame bruv
>>569801983Yes, it's like the most obvious one
>>569801983It's more obvious with the variants that have the teeth on the bottom.
>>569797195Probably get a new warhammer total war in like 20 years
>>569801261
>>569802461it is very strange for them to suddenly make lasguns little light bolts/tracers when the giant projectile trails in warhammer were already there
>>569802213>>569802334I genuinely do not see it
>>569802461noice
i wonder how other imperial guard regiments will be for dlcsince not everyone gets access to all the shit like cadia does
>>569802654That's a GW change.
>>569802461I wonder if my 3080 will still be able to run this
>>569802668Middle triangle is noseTop left and right empty spaces are eyesBottom jags are teeth
>>569802668
>>569802751the hand wave is that 70% of the guard is just cadianseven then every actual guard regiment generally has access to everything and only use/don't use standard gear because of doctrinal preference
So a campaign is a solar system.
>>569802461>Lasguns dont shoot lasers but bolts insteadGonna download cheats for that on day 1. Otherwise pretty good.
>>569802751They won't have all the shit like in TT.
>>569803325FUCK dude it needs to be billions of planets, what kind of 40k game is this...
>>569803335How strict do we think GW will be with 40k mods though? Fantasy was such a nothing at the time that CA got away with GW saying yes to mods as long as it wasn't copyrighted, but I could absolutely see them banning 40k mods that "affected the integrity of the setting" or some horseshit.
this is pretty fucking cool, tons of gore just flying upTotal war never had gore like this, 40k is going to be kino
>>569803603GW is fine with modding Space Marine 2.
>>569803603You seem a little out of your element. Modding a game isn't something a company can or cannot allow, it is an action creators take. I guess you are going to be playing on a console or something.
>>569803703>can show absurdly detailed gore in showcase footage, not even saving it for the actual gameSo the whole ratings excuse for blood DLC was always bullshit, wasn't it?
>>569803393>Astra Militarum Guardmen >Astra Militarum Guardmen (Flamers)>Astra Militarum Guardmen (Grenade Launchers)>Astra Militarum Guardmen (Plasma Guns)>Astra Militarum Guardmen (Meltaguns)>Tempestus Scions >Tempestus Scions (Flamers)>Tempestus Scions (Plasma Guns)>Tempestus Scions (Meltaguns)>Tempestus Scions (Hotshot Volley Guns)imagine the Charlemagnes........
40K WON
>>569803953Retard-kun...
>>569803872I'm referring to steam workshop support, obviously, retardanon. Modern TW players aren't very good at trawling TWC for mods they want to download. Nexus is always an option, I guess, but putting pack files in the data folder is still a step too far for some people.
It actually looks fun.
any blast havers?
>>569802461Remade first webm to have all campaign look together>>569803953We can see Guardsmen having varied gear in >>569802461 Some guys are carrying plasma pistols in one part, in other there is grenade launcher mixed in. Not that I don't expect milking
>>569804349and last part of battle footage
>>569804349>>569803953They have literally confirmed a custom wargear feature since the announcement, apply yourselves.
a lot of people are going to cope and seethe but right now 40k and warhammer utterly rapes historical total war, its here to stay and there's no going back
>>569804606I know, we could see it before already, even in first trailer which showcased customization on Marines
>>569803876yessomeone even called them out of this by writing directly to PEGI and they answered blood dlc wouldn't change ratingthere was a drama over it back then
how is the cuck who kept saying "erm akshually the imperial guard fight in line formation and don't use cover!" and spamming out of context cover art and fanart when anons rightfully pointed out how ridiculous the imperial guard looked in the show and tell coping with the imperial guard getting a cover system TW 40k?is he going to stick to his guns and say CA is going against established lore by adding a cover system?
>>569804670>ctrl+f historical>1/2, only the op and your postmindbroken
>>569804948I mean, they won't be in cover all the time...
>>569805107just goes to show how dead it is, its over
>>569805204As long as it lives rent free in your head it'll never be dead.
>>569804948NTA but some regiments have special rules specifically about them fighting in line formations and blasting a la Napoleonic era. There is a different regiment for every historical military in earth's history though, plus all the sci fi ones and ∞ donut steels, so your cuck nemesis wasn't exactly wrong.
>>569805324at this point you have to be baiting
>>569804576Interesting how FB and 40 greenskins are playing so different. I like FB greenskins because you need to use gobbos/spider cav/all other small things to achive victory (at least in pvp)
I think it is really cool that a single squad can have different entities within it.
>>569805390wtf is FB
>>569805381It's like looking in a mirror then.
>>569805521Fantasy Battle
>>569805523reply to this post to feel like you won
>>569805738No one calls it that here secondary
I got into the Hyenas closed beta way back, let's hope that I get in here too!
Haters on suicide watch lol. 40k looks amazing
>>569805521Facebookit's a social media platform boomers like
>>569805336even then the Mordians (the main example of the naponeonic line formation for guardsmen people are probably using) only really do it in the packed in hive city environment they're from to really pack firepower against mobs of charging cultists
Truly a return to form
Genuinely no idea how anybody could be looking forward to that shite
They forgot to show the Squiggoth.
I hope CA ignores those redditors who shill anti-fun mechanics like unit caps and let you make whatever kind of armies you want, that way I can completely ignore coverslop and make stacks of nothing but baneblades and support leman russesthe waves of conscripts are weak, I crave the strength and certainty of plasteel.
>>569804576Strangely my main complaint right now is that the battle maps just look fucing ugly. Don't get me wrong they look like how they're supposed to look, shitty urbanized wasteland, but I just don't care for that look at all.Did they show any maps that don't look like that in the trailer? Like a woodland or something snowy or a tropical battlefield?
>>569806582This is 40k dude, but there's probably greener maps out there, but I wouldn't expect "pretty".
>>569805853>Hyenas closed betaoh yea? look at THIS
>CITIES TO THE SKYYYYYYYYYYY>SPACE SHIPS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAACEThe 2023 gaming puter with nvidia 3050 I got SPECIFICALLY to play TWW3 because the nvidia 1660 I got in 2019 for TWW2 was no longer cutting it, which itself was a replacement for the nvidia 1050 I got in 2017 for TWW1, isn't gonna cut it for this.And unfortunately, with nvidia 6000 gpus looking to be like 1000 bucks a gpu, probably not gonna be spending a lot on kids games at this stage of my life.
>>569806582we'll see if those biome variations amount to anything meaningful or if it will just be>map (palm trees)>map (sprinklings of snow)
>>569806582Armageddon is literally a dead planet that's been purged with chemicals to rid it of ork spores, so yeah thats probably why it's ugly
>>569757736Durthutotal fleshy deathskeletons can stay
>>569806823You have no power here!
>>569804948If anything was ridiculous it was you fucking whiny cucks taking a very obvious 'Lets just put 20 dudes on a map since the main showcase here is the environment' and using that as an argument as to how all the battles would play out. Genuinely low IQ behaviour
>>569794794>>569796317I gave CA my full name, date of birth, and email, and only after realized that I could have made some shit up and next time there's a data breach I'm gonna get gaped. Never sign up for betas when you're tired, bros
>>569806823I liked it
>>569806582there are well known snowy planets but the parts you're going to be fighting over are still probably going to look like thatGW is so anal I don't know if they can properly do xenos environments
>>569807426all of my personal info including SSID has been leaked for over 15 years (and been leaked again by 3 more companies since LOL) and i have never suffered an ill effect from it. Perhaps I am just lucky (ish)
>>569807575yea it solved my biggest problem to getting into multiplayer RTS games which is having to micro 20 units at onceterrain also wasn't flat
>>569806754>>569807069Yeah again I know why and it makes sense and everything but I just don't like it.
>staggering architecture
>>569806823>>569807265>>569807575was there a total war online trading card game or did I hallucinate that?
>>569808020You're probably mixing it up with MTG Arena
>>569808020You're thinking of Total War Online, the MMO.
>>569808003>Ork buggy jumping from a rampOk this is certified kino.
>>569808020You didn't, the other two replies are wrong. It was TW Elysium and this kino art is the only thing that matters from it.
>>569807583>>569806582Space Marine 2 and Rogue Trader are new games and have a lot of varied planets, including lush junglesWe seen concept art of Eldar Maiden World as well
good grief campaigns are so boring 50+ turns in
The worst thing are fucking graphics. TW40K has this same artstyle as TWW3. I cannot stand this pastel look anymore. Every fucking game looks like this nowadays, jesus fucking christ. Stop making everything so flat. Look at fucking CoH3 vs CoH2. Or DoW4 vs DoW2. Or that Stronghold Kingdoms vs Stronghold 2, since new Stronghold was announced. Everything is so cartoony nowadays reeeee
This shit is going to be so fucking bad lmfao
>>569808342jesus christ
>>569808193How is that your take from that image retardThe whole point of my post is that you see that it looks bad
Warhammer Fantasy can finally fucking die.
Enhance
>>569809149Computer. Enhance. That "everyone's war" tells me it really actually truly is gonna be always online helldivers shit and now I dunno if it'll be the most kino Total War or DOA. Instead of dives, it's battles fought on that planet during your campaign. Every week/month the map updates based on how successful the playerbase was on said planets.
>>569809149Someone run this through AI to see if it can decipher what it says on the screen. I doubt it but there's no way a human can tell even with upscaling.
>>569809728that would actually be fun, like a 100vs100 planetary war
>>569809728maybe its just an option to let us customize our characters so they can be intersectional
>>569809728It does look like this, but it's preceded by some other War. Maybe helldivers shit is just some gimmicky sidemodeI tried to upload it some AI upscalers but Blade Runner fucking lied and it's all worthless garbage
>>569809728>total war with a life expectancyIf it's as you say and they don't make it possible to play offline(even if it means not contributing to 'everyone's war') then it'll be the worst Total War in history.CA have never made a game with an MMO level server load, the launch will be disastrous with disconnects and lag everywhere because TW40k will very probably be the best selling Total War of all time unless they make the recommended specs insane.
Who is the Pontvs of 40k?
>>569810924Harlequin Eldar
>>569810924Eldar
>>569810864They can just have the shogun 2 thing where people can join your battles to fuck on you during games (Amazing feature, I would que up and ruin people's campaigns for hours). They could just be doing that.Honestly, I would support it being mandatory, not only would people stop complaining about the AI, but they would be shown to be bitch ass niggers.
>>569809728>thinking it is possible for it to be DOA when even absolute garbage like Rome 2 had a dedicated playerbase
>>569809728welcome back ME3
>>569809904worthless fucking tech
>>569810980>>569810987wrong, the real answer is tyranids
>>569810219>>569810235Could be built-in PvP mini-campaigns set on a single planet with matchmaking
>>569810924Imperial Fists
Am I the only person who noticed the insane super resolution in the 40k showcase? Shit looked like it was running with FS3 at Ultra Performance.
>>569809728>is gonna be always online helldivers shiti don't fucking want thatfuck you CA>>569810924the online war gimmick
Lords have bodyguards again
>>569811523All of CA's early showcases look like garbage since Rome 2 (since the siege of carthage debacle meant they couldnt use fake stuff anymore)
>fagtek will be our general>he will command the mewling masses on which races to play on which planets>just like the Helldiver CCs doNot looking forward to that.
>>56981167040k is actually going to fix the franchise and I don't know how to feel about that.
>>569811702>siege of carthage scamVGH
>>569811670So that means Calgar will have his honor guard with him, what will Yarrick have that can match either of those?
>>569811823>fantasy was the cancer all along
>>569811931a baneblade

>>569812075I remember the original Troy Concept art had her topless.
>>569812085vgh.. soul.. I WILL be buying
>>569810924the real answer is the votannyou bet when they announce their DLC there will be people protesting because they don't want to play the votann, same energy
>>569811823It's probably a system which 40k has where you can attach your HQ to various units.You don't need to that though
>>569810924idk i never played any historical title
>>569812340All you need to know is that Pontus is a minor Greek power in Asia Minor (modern Turkey).>I don't careExactly. That's why Pontus being playable was considered controversial. Nobody else cared about it either.
>>569812297not even tabletop players want to play votann
>>569812463Shocker, considering the only new models they've had since initial release is a kill team.
>>569812216would never make it to the full game, the ghost of Grace will never allow it
>>569812085>No offline allowed, CA promises they will add offline modes next year 3 years ago.It will 100% flop on launch and CA will be forced to rush Immortal Galaxies.
>>569812443in this case maybe tau? and while people like dark eldar they are not the kind of race that goes to war ever
>>569812297The fantasyolny mind cannot comprehend the evropean avtism of the total war forums.
>>569811670i read that a nigga armor for a second
>>569811931a command staff with a flagbearer
>>569812463>literally just marines with buggiesGW fucked up giving the Da Vinci aesthetic to the Admech
>>569812707fantasoys are normieredditor-tier compared to Romanboos
>>569796506Not that I wish to slander the highly guilded generals of /twg/, but half you guys won't run 5 or more units of cav at once or play glass cannon fast armies because muh 'micro-manage hell'. Chances are very few of you are going to be comfortable controlling more than 40 units at once.
>>569812956I can't even control 20..
>You go through lengths to make sure Zhao survives as Bashiva>Meow swoops in and Confederates him because Zhao is a pussy ass bitch who doesnt give a fuck that I have Army camping his capitalI fucking hate this campaign so much.
>>569812956The more units the less micromanagement. You can mod Shogun 2 to have utterly insane numbers of units and it becomes a much slower game as you are mostly moving units into position with reserves and it's harder for you or the enemy to break though your lines so you have more time to react to things.
>>569812930>19k postsa trve Roman
>>569798332Judging by the weapon 'scrollers' in each unit, I am guessing you can adjust and customise the weapons in each squad vehicle.

TOTALROMANFIRE SUPERIORITY
>>569813838Total Warhammer 40k is always online and has a galaxy map that you contribute to by playing and winning campaigns as specific factions.
>>569812637Tau are more like the Seleucids. Small but vocal fanbase.
>>569813946This is speculation. But I fail to think of what 'everyone's war' could mean if not.
>>569813946Source: Two words on a screen
It's so over...
>>569814082>>569814019It was also hinted at in the first video they put out, you were just not ready for that information.
>>569814019>But I fail to think of what 'everyone's war' could mean if not.Uhh here's a version that took me less than 5 seconds to think up>Total Warhammer 40k has an online mode and has a galaxy map that you contribute to by playing and winning campaigns as specific factions.
>>569813729>>569811305>Total War 40k is an always online massive multiplayer console RTS
>played azazel to turn 50I finally get why he never clicked with me. It's because he's shit. Shit units, shit mark, and none of the fun demons that slaanesh actually needs.
If it even exists, this meta-progression Helldivers 2 style map will be some complete meme nothingburger everyone will ignore as it will only be used for some twitter posts and marketing.How else is this supposed to work? Everyone can play Armageddon campaign and as Yarrick or CalgarHell, white dot might even disable your contribution to galactic war effort
>>569815437You know how multiplayer balancing fucked over warhammer for the last decade? How fun features were gutted to appeal to multiplayer fags?Every single week there will be balance patches for the meta-progression campaign. Feature changes, re-works, constantly.
>>569809379Lol cry harder, that shit looks awesome and unexpected ina TW game. You inadvertently posted kino.
>>569816004there's 0 need for that when they can just rig the numbers
>now that the game looks great, doomsissies are creating an "always online" from thin airThis shit is too fucking funny, reminds me of how TWSW was totally happening lol
>>569815437I don't even know why you'd spitball an idea this retarded. If online connection was a major feature it would also be a major focus of their marketing. At this point you're just fantasizing about retarded shit to be mad about.
>>569816636>>569817084Uh oh the cope is growing
Yeah because Warhammer is always online because it has an MP mode... Retards.These faggots think this game is real time or something and can't be updated at any time you launch just the MP mode, if you have no internet you can't launch that mode, if it even exists...
>>569817084>>569816636>"CA won't do something annoying and stupid to counter the things they do that are actually good!"This cope is unreal.You reject the evidence of the last few decades!
shogun 2 had a multiplayer meta campaign and it wasnt always onlinemass effect 3 had a multiplayer meta campaign and it wasnt always online
>>569817417The evidence I have is that TWWarhammer is highly successful, despite hisfags constant ass bleeding.
>>569817084late last year there were already interviews with mention of some meta progression, but the helldivers comparison is clearly retarded when everyone is the same faction in that gameit's just going to be like the avatar thing they had for Shogun 2, but for singleplyaer
>>569817576please don't bring it upstill feels bad bro
>>569817576>15 years ago they did not have always online.>So they won't have always online in 2016.Lmao.You cannot acquire total war games without the internet these days.
>this random massive cope and coordinated shitposting from shitposters Hmmm interesting
>>569817806that wasn't the argument, acting stupid on purpose is nigger behaviour
Who will be the worst posters when 40k comes out and why is it the orc players?
>>569817581>hisfags out of nowhereOhhhhhhh he's coping
Uh oh, doomsissies melty
>>569818014It'll be Eldar.Oh and Chaosfags bitching that their Space Marines weren't a day 1 DLC
>>569818096Felt called out?
>>569817084>>569817581>he hasn't been playing CA games long enough to believe they could do another Realm of Souls tier blunderOH NO NO NO NO NO
>People going schizo over some dev showing an option when clicking a planet named 'Everyones war'Could literally be anything. Could be a 'buff' to an area that makes workers more productive or increases recruitment time of armies. The idea that this is some massive-multiplayer thing like helldivers is entirely unfounded and unprovoked speculation.
>>569818302No, I played Warhammer and as a result know that anon is right, CA will kneecap themselves at every opportunity. You just ignored it and mentioned the voices in your head.
I wish Malakai didn't have the most annoying starting position of any LL in the entire game. His campaign would be so fun if you weren't instantly stuck in a forever war against 7 different factions>erm but I like smashing my dick with a hammer so it's gooddidn't ask
If it's like Warhammer 3 i'm happy.If it's like Helldivers i'm happy.I just wanna play the game.>>569818437In fairness to these schizos, it's not the dev selecting an option, it's a 'Game Pillar'. It's also alongside 'Your War' and a third one that's blurred by camera focus. See >>569809149 not >>569809614
>>569818627why would it be like helldivers? wtf is going on?
>>569818537>Pretending to be another person while clearly being the same onePathetic, get your act together.
>>569818710I assume anon means the galactic war mechanism where individual players work on their own to further a playerbase-wide goal.
>tw goes always onlineoh god please no oh god its like diablo 3 all over againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKoDQogB80Y
>>569818887The cope is flowing
>>569818014All of you
>>569818014All of them because the 40k fandom/community/whatever is cringe personified.
You WILL attempt to have a nuanced discussion regarding the 40k universe.I WILL call you a heretic and farm (You)s from the /tg/ tourists calling me a based trvker.This WILL lower thread quality.There WILL be nothing you can do.
>>569819407Shit dude I just want to look at Eldar women.
Redid Daemon of Chaos IE and it is probably the worst campaign in the game to me. I feel like I just spend ALL my time fighting to control and recontrol the north rather than really expanding further than that.>Lore accurateNot fun though.
>>569817806>>So they won't have always online in 2016.but it's 2026
>>569819681I'm really just praying that they're waiting for End Times to fix his factionBut they won't
>>569819012I too know how to edit images
>play gorbad>thorgrim attacksnow what
>>569802461that looks insane, 40K naysayers on SUICIDE WATCH
>>569809379You posted exactly what orc architecture is supposed to look like though
>>569820037It took you 10 minutes for a comeback that shit?
I hope the 3 unit size damage system is WEAPON-based, not unit-based
>>569802461Atleast now we know what the WH3 siege rework that added buildables was beta testing. It was beta testing fortifications for the Guard.
>>569820117Have fun. Adversity is necessary to truly achieve a fulfilling experience. Overcome the challenge.
>>569808821Rome 2 and by extension Warhammer 1 had ugly maps. 3 is an improvement, although still pales compared to the non-Rome 2 derivative games.
>>569818014literally all of them. 40k faggots are more annoying that fromslop fanboys
>>569816636Your friendly reminder that both Empire and Rome 2 looked great in the pre-release material.
>>569818014It'll still be fantasyfags, but among the 40k fans it will, as always, be the primarchslop fans.
I want them to delay 40K so that we get more Warhammer 3 DLC.
>rome 2 looked incredible in promotional material>was terrible>40k looks okayish in promotional material>_
Do you think 40k is going to job to creamapi or nah

>>569822662Imagine we get a repeat of Rome 2 and Attila where 40k is so disastrous that they come crawling back to WH3

>>569820154>He thinks I'm terminally online like himselfLol lmao even
Guys I'm a bit confused about winds of power in Warhammer 3. Is this correct:1. The bar on the right is the total winds of magic you can use throughout the fight. You will start with a percentage of this as useable winds and slowly gain more.2. This number is hard capped at whatever the bar on the right says. For example, if you start the battle with 100/100 winds, reserves per second (Power of Darkness) won't do shit no matter when you use it. You already had max.
>>569802461hold up a seconddid you faggots repeatedly say they fought in napoleonic style line infantry formations refusing to take cover?I distinctly recall that conversation after the show & tell, I'm begging to think the /twg/ anons saying they play the toy game and know the lore are full of shit
>>569824251When in open fields they form blocks of men.When there is cover they take cover.This was always the case, retards, likely (you) kept saying that there was no way there would be cover in Total War, despite it being a thing since Empire.
>>569823678yeah i think so
>>569824251Do you think they'll shoot only while in cover? Use your brain a little.
Whats up with these deleted posts?
>Light, Medium and Heavy armour.>Every unit has at least 1 (one) value in each of these stats.>There is a scrolling list of weapons for a single infantry unit in the field.I would say that this looks less like the normal armour system we are used to and more like a damage threshold system? A weapon does light, medium and heavy damage. Like, A guardsmen has 1 heavy armour so a weapon that does heavy damage does maximum damage to the guardsman while a Tank has 10 heavy armour so that heavy weapon damage is reduced by that value.
>>569825579It just be a quick glance UI. 3K had a simplified and expanded unit card option as well.
So, what now?When do we expect more news?Fall?
>>569825579Im pretty sure that its just an abstraction, there will still be numerical values under the hood, we need to see what the "expanded" window looks likeBut I wouldn't be surprised if they made a new damage formula
>>569825579It's probably a general idea of the capacity of all weapons on that unit combinedEach weapon though, might and probably will have different values.My take is that you tinker with those values in the wargear menu, making a unit more efficient against lightly armored units or heavily armored ones.
Warhammer 40K will surpass Nagash.
>customization confirmed>bodyguard units confirmed>fence hopping confirmed>cover confirmedWhat else do we need to know by this point?
>>569826517Shouldn't be hard. TWW was built off the back of one of the worst Total Wars ever. Shouldn't be hard to surpass.
>>569826110>My take is that you tinker with those values in the wargear menu, making a unit more efficient against lightly armored units or heavily armored ones.>Have a battle with Orks.>Spend 5 mins before battle changing all of your infantry squads to have flamers as part of their wargear.>Then have a battle with necrons.>Spend five minuets changing out the flamers for plasma guns.I can see it now.I bet you have to get the wargear from random loot too.
>>569826709How hot will the Howling Banshee models be?
>>569827037>one of the worst Total Wars everAttila? Yeah, it was pretty bad.
I hope that there is no character levels. The ability to level up lords in Warhammer is part of the games major problems. The Red Line has been a disaster for Total War.
>>569827117Rome 2, but Attila was built off that too.
>>569826709Space battles.>B-But they said they'll patch them in later, maybelol
>>569827974Space battles feels like one of those things that everyone begs to get added to the game and then no one plays them when they do get in
>>569828180They're good enough to carry Battlefleet Gothic. Sounds like a CA problem.
So it does look like a 40 unit on the field max situation. In this picture there are 24 units on the field and you can see in the bottom left that the player can bring in at most 16 more reserves.I imagine that if a unit dies or leaves the field they can then have more reserves.
explain what a space battle is
battle in space innit
>>569827353Rome 2 was good though.
>>569828425>>569828551Battlefleet Gothicbros..... we are forgotten....
>>569827060>wargear from random loot tooNot how it works, it'll probably get it from tech though.War gear is comes with the unit, just like tabletop, but yeah it'll add another layer of strategy to the game.
>>569830137>War gear is comes with the unit, just like tabletopNah, you will get Green, blue and purple wargear from battles.
>>569830217Sure sure
>>569828180It'll be EXACTLY that.
>>569829297
>>569828417In TT you can detach part of your army to stay in reserves.Idk how it will work here
>get the Slaanesh unit buff from Morathi>Daemonettes and especially Exalted Daemonettes are killing quicker and better>both Devotees are still performing at subpar ranges heavily outperformed by Black Ark Corsairs and Shades for the melee and crossbow version respectivelyWhat a waste of 2 units, Morathi should also have access to Heartseekers, makes 0 sense why she doesnt besides faggots wanting balance on a single player addition that wouldnt effect MPniggers fake game mode in any way.
>>569830706The tabletop will have no influence over the number of units on the field.
>>569830912DuhWhat I mean is, if we will "throw" a couple of our units in the stack to the reserves or whatsoever.

No, you are the retard.Also, when will they release the Felinid DLC?
>>569831324>paypigs have terrible taste
Guys please stop. It's a long established fact that CA bend the rules in the name of fluid gameplay. This entire argument is retarded because we've seen guard in formations, we've seen Orks in blobs like Fantasy, we've even seen Space Marines alternating between arrowhead and X formations. CA will design unit formations in whatever way lends itself to whatever they believe is the best experience. /tg/ trannies coming here and shitting up the thread arguing about how people line up their action figures will never change that.
You guys seriously think they are going to make 40k Total war? How are they going to translate modern warfare to an engine designed for Napoleonic era battles at best? so much cope here.
>>569833273It's obviously going to be a Star Wars TW
>fantasloppers falseflagging as 40k shills
>>569832807I've played every game in the franchise starting with Rome 1. The fact is simply that Rome 2 is one of the best games in the series.
TW3 needs a massive, complete map revampbesides Empire, Darklands and Lustria everything else feels like shitmost places feel small and cramped, Cathay ion the other end is huge and meaninglessreally, the Empire is my favourite and one of the reasons is that the Empire are feels big, populated and still part of a bigger world that interacts with it and threatens itso there's always something to do while uniting the Empire
>>569833656the problem with the map is that it's massive, but there's been so much content added that it feels crampedthere are unironically too many LLs
>>569833656Definitely. Southlands, Lustria and Naggaroth need expanding at this point. I think that they've lost their identity as continents regardless because of how haphazardly LLs are placed at this point but at the very least if you're going to have 20 mismatched LLs in Lustria it needs to be bigger.

Why? Because I said it won't.">On top of that. I knew how much it would infuriate he who shall not be named to learn that Total War would be milking Warhammer for another decadeThe amount of cum I blasted on the announcement from the satisfaction of being right would make Slaanesh blush, and the amount of smug I felt and all the "I told you so's" I got to post kept me smiling and erect for like a week straight.

>>569847854The footage made me more optimistic but I think it's going to be a shitshow release just because the faction options feel very bleak to me. WH1 was able to mitigate it with Bretonnians and WoC on release (Bretonnia I think was a few days or whatever later). Whereas 40kTW on release is akin to if WH1 was the empire, bretonnia, greenskins and high elves. Just very weird choice to me. If the guardsmen have some kind of lost and the damned light reskins then it'll make sense to me.>>569818014>EldarExtreme endless coomerism>guardsmenYou know the type. Need a word for it.

>>569804115>what is NMM
>>569835259Can you embed characters into units this time?
>>569850124Ultimately preorders aren't always a perfect barometer as 3K actually outsold Wh3 by something like x2.5 sales, but it still got canned at the end. I'd like for the demented histoid vs fantasoid vs 40koid shit to die out because it being used as a meme still is reaching reddit levels of driving a joke into the ground. And it's an unsuitable comparison because any warhammer game requires sharing profits with CA and also being severely restricted by GW in what you can (and cannot) do. And I am fairly sure it'll extend beyond that into what you must do. IE GW can tell them "Make a pack of [gluppus shittus chapter] for DLC", not just tell CA "No you can't use this 3rd edition reference" and "yes you can use this 2nd edition reference".>>569850643WoC still gave you a final foe to face.>Bretonnia came out after the wood elves and beastmenWhat the fuck. I know it's 10 years ago but I do not fucking remember that. I don't remember Bretonnia having empire placeholders. Did they just have some basic bitch Bretonnian units and make them playable later?
>>569850761>BrettoniaYeah they had a basic roster, that was it really.
>>569851027did they have any LLs? or just generic lords
>>569851181It was just Louen being unique and everyone else was a Lord.
>>569839345It took 8 years of constant, endless, incessant shitposting, on every online platform before CA decided to do the 40k game. It would've kept going for 20 years and you faggots would still have celebrated it as if you were right all along.Warhammer 40k has no right to exist without massive departure from the existing formula, but since video games are a product, a 40k game with line formations and space land battles was fated to happen.Literally memed into existence
>>569846326>>569849269We already have asians in 40k. What else could Cathay even add?
ASOIAF TW when?
>>569852267never please and thank youof course M3 will have a mod for it though
>>569852337>never please and thank youWhy? ASOIAF would be 3K tier in terms of iconic characters they could fill the game with. It would probably be interesting just for the politics system alone.
>>569852471just a big fucking waste man, CA should spend their resources making M3 as good as they can and then that way things like ASOFAI and LOTR or even fucking Redwall can build off it and be exponentially better than the base gamemore with less than less with more

>Fantasy has aircraft units but not 40k
>>569855063He's completely right, at least 50% of spez muhreen slapfights are initiated by people seethingly bringing them up out of nowhere. This is true of Tau as well.
>>569849867WH1 had four and a half factions at launch and WH2 had four, if 40k has major problems it won't come from having four factions to choose from at launch.
Campaign spotting is an extremely disappointing mechanic. Makes ambush stance totally useless post turn 15 when agents are running around everywhere

I'm pretty sure those are even fence hopping animations straight lifted from Empire:TW.This showcase showed cover because people wanted it, but you will deploy your units without cover and move them around in blocks as normal. And can make your Guardsmen shoot without cover, just like Handgunners, when there is no cover available and such open field locations will be plentiful. Everything is constant here from first trailer, to interview last month to yesterday's one. You can even see both IG and Orks move in blocks out in the open here and fight like this as well.
That footage was nice, especially the gore. Excited to have a TW with proper gibbing.But I also can't help but lel that it 1000% confirmed that most factions are going to function as infantry blocks. Years and years of "40k tw would never work because they're in squads!" squashed by GW itself blessing a game where the blob armies fight in blobs.That said I'm still not sure how to feel about the game on launch. The potential is of course massive but I'm not looking forward to the first few months at least of:>Captain, we've arrived at the planet.. it's filled with Orks! We must purge them!!>Captain, we've arrived at the planet.. it's filled with Feral Guardsmen! We must purge them!!>Captain, we've arrived at the planet.. it's filled with Feral Eldar! We must purge them!!It'll really need about 3 DLCs to properly come online.
as someone who did not pick up Warhammer Total War until 3 and all of its new race DLCs were out, I genuinely can't imagine how fucking empty 40k is going to feel when there's literally nothing but spess muhreens, IG, orks and eldar. Who gives a fuck when you're fighting the same 4 races over and over, and 1/4 of them are mirror matches
>they forgot to put some Cadian under coversOH NO NO NO! ANTI-NAPOLEONIC SCHIZO GET DOWN! DO NOT LOOK!
>>569860741Don't forget that the modding scene will also need some time to get started. When everyone was disappointed with the TWW3 launch, many just jumped back to TWW2 or any older TW.
this line warfare/cover sperging might be the dumbest argument this general has ever had
>>569860356>>569860741It really wasn't that bad with the initial 4 races in Warhammer 1, because it was all brand new.The same will happen here, I'll have to play a whole fucking lot to even tire of using a single race in this game, hell I still play the kangz and they had no update like the others since their launch.Another thing is the wargear selection, this will keep factions fresh for way longer.
Am I crazy or does this look like Macha
>>569861294Could be since Biel Tan has no playable named characters on TT atm
>>569861294Blurry as shit but my mind is seeing her DoW3 appearance in the clouds
>>569861294It really does look like her render from DoW3, which was based off /tg/ memesMakes sense since Ulthwe will have Eldrad, but for Biel-Tan she would be the best choiceFulfills Female LL quota as well, which will be even harder than in TWW for CA to achieve. At least they can put niggers everywhere, so they will embrace it

>All Eldars looks the same according to Mon'keigh

>>569861215>It really wasn't that bad with the initial 4 races in Warhammer 1, because it was all brand new.Right now we don't know much about the campaign modes for 40kTW but consider the following:1. WH1 releases with 5 factions on launch with clearly defined theaters of war, a medium 40kTW campaign sounds like you're fighting on a pseudo-randomly generated planet.2. If you were playing a "good" faction (humans and dwarfs) you knew other human and dwarf NPCs were nominal allies and very rarely were they enemies. So much so that outside of retards like Ziflin you had to instigate most wars against them. Right now half the launch factions are supposed to be on the same side. 3. WH1 had a fairly clear endgame of "stop the Everchosen!" so you had something to focus on besides map-painting as it united the order factions while giving the orcs and vampires some breathing room. What will 40kTW have? Randomly generated McGuffins you need to steal from an RNG-determined faction? Because in that case your spess mahreens are killing Imperials 50% like you're in a Temu Horus Heresy.For what it's worth this directionless is also a major complaint of mine for WH3 but at least it DOES have about 20 factions running around to give it variety, which is what I'm mostly bitching about.4. Expectations for it were relatively low compared to 40k's hype. So I expect people to be more impatient about it as well.#4 is also a compounding factor why I think Sofia has several character packs lined up for WH3. The 40k team is going to be pressed like fuck to shit out CSM and whoever is coming afterwords to spice things up so Sofia pushing out small but quick packs for brand engagement between those releases makes sense to me.
>>569861547>Fulfills Female LL quota as well, which will be even harder than in TWW for CA to achieveIt's kinda funny how despite always being portrayed as egalitarian and having lots of female models on the tabletop basically right from the start literally none of the major Eldar leaders were female until Yvraine came along and she got unceremoniously shoved into the cuck shed in record time.Also if it is Taldeer and CA gets her original VA back I'm never going to be able to unhear Princess Celestia.
>>569862194They can of GW allows it. Just like it's a whole new studio making DoW 4. The characters aren't bound to Relic.
>>569862207>The 40k team is going to be pressed like fuck to shit out CSMI don't think so, if you haven't noticed, WH DLC is coming at a snail's pace for a reason... The 40k DLC team is already at work.
>>569862194I imagine as the ultimate owner of everything cooked up in a Warhammer video game they can use whoever from wherever as long as GW greenlights it.

>>569863207>most militaristic craftworld with full of aspect warriors, where autarchs and exarchs in charge>leaded by farseerAnyway, we have Eldrad already
>>569863417but he's from Ulthwé
>>569757545watching the intervriew thing>only one iconic place to startCADIA???>armageddonare u kidding me
>>569863543>Cadia>Armageddon>Macragge/Ultramar>Terra/MarsWhat else? GW is just being lazy as usual.
>>569863543>Cadia>a placePick one!
>>569862595What he said was correct retard, they have lore characters, but no playable named Biel-Tan characters on tabletop 40K. Macha is the only popular Biel Tan vidya character.
>>569863543>CADIAAnon....
>>569863680>>569863805i mean the story campaign CAN cover past eventsyou're telling me the armageddon war is still going?
>>569862275That's because most Eldar craftworlds are lead by Farseer's and that's the one path that female Eldar try to avoid.
>>569863887This is the 4th war of armageddon, anon.https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Fourth_War_for_Armageddon
>>569863207>>569863737
>>569863887>armageddon war is still going?Anon, take a look at the eleventh edition box, quickly. GW is making this game about the most current narrative going on tabletop.
>>569863954nobody cares about Ynnari
>>569863887>you're telling me the armageddon war is still going?Silly anon, the new edition box set is literally Armageddon war:https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/hjdxp86f/saturday-pre-orders-warhammer-40000-armageddon/
Why are they hiding the Eldar?
>>569863954mon-keigh fuckers get the fucking rope
>>569863954Her entire schtick is Ynnari combining some of the Drukhari and Craftworlder (plus corsair and harlequin but you could take those anyway) rosters in a custom list. She is not liked by Biel Tan and not affiliated with them, she is dedicated to her death cult's goals. Do you even play the TT or read her lore?
>>569864117Probably still way unfinished, the game probably isn't due out for almost an entire year from now.
>>569864117>>569864365not a launch faction
>>569864294>mad lorelet didnt even realize where the main eldar character was from and has a melty
>>569864382Why do you retards keep saying this
>>569864382That would be suicide + CA already discussed how their faction mechanics work in interviews back around the announcement.
Any advice for Rakarth WH3 Immortal Empires campaign? I play on Hard, right now cause I got bored of 3 previous Normal campaigns with other factionsHere is my issue - after conquering the starting province, I am unsure what to do. To the north there is the Mask of Slaneesh faction the the Beastmen, but they seem too strong and also after conquering the southernmost starting province settlement I have to take 3 turns to get thereSo the most natural target is the Tomkings faction to the south. But they have a full stack and a 16 unit strong garrison and they do not move from there. I tried defeating them like that with a siege, it was too much for me, can't do ittried luring them out with raiding and what not, they just sit there, and these are precious turns wasted tooAnd then there is this quest for confederating with Karond Kar which has you capture 2500 captives and it fails by like turn 7... how tf do I do that, after the initial province conquest I have only 600. Do I sack everything? So that is another reason I can't wait, unless I don't care about failing that.what to do in this camapign?
>>569864421because they were relevant 30 years ago they aren't anymore, it'll probably be img guard, space marines, orkz, chaos at launch, eldar among first expansions
Why would people even assume there would be no cover? We had that shit since Napoopan and Empire.I am more concerned about units' ability to navigate tight streets, turn corners and not fuck up lines of fire. Because from what I saw, the 40k units are just handgunners (assault rifles).
For me it's Iyanden.
>>569864465it wouldn't be suicide only old fans give a shit about the eldar still
>>569864478There's an Eldar featuring prominently in the promotional art along with Guard, Marines and Orks.>>569864509>Why would people even assume there would be no cover? We had that shit since Napoopan and Empire.You mean it was in Napoopan and Empire then completely disappeared from every game released since.
>>569864478Bro, all the launch factions are listed on the steam page. Stop being retarded.
>>569864707so the only opfor faction will be orks? wtf lol
>>569864779play as orks until faction unlocker gives us chaos (rebels)
Loli. Legendary. Lords.
>>569862543The Blood Ravens were done dirtyDark Angels steal their spotlight in Dawn of War then in TW40k the Ultrasmurfs take centerstage once again
>>569864779>play orks>get four opfor factionsProppa kunnin'.
>>569864779Chaos isn't part of the current Armageddon narrative and the launch version seems to trying to recreate it.
>>569863954bruh what happened to her hairI hope she got a refund from her stylist
>>569865165She was a gladiator among the dark eldar. That's one of the traditional combat shaves they have.
>hit and run>stealth>teleport around with units that would get steamrolled and assraped in a direct confrontationdoes anyone actually enjoy this type of gameplay? Eldar was like the lamest faction in dawn of war, completely outclassed by T'au chads in ranged and every other faction in close ranged, only thing they had was rat gameplay and the teleporting building thing
You think they'll accept anyone for the closed beta or do you need some youtube clout
just enrolledif I'm selected I will be sharing all gameplay features and webms with this thread
>>569865487Eldar are all about maximizing your specialist troops which are better in what they do than other faction equivalents.
>>569865720Muhreen can do that better at TT
>>569865894Bro the different eldar flavours win every 40k tourney since the game was first published. They are the most disgustingly OP factions in the TT in each edition. Marines wish they had their versatility.
Was there any news about Warhammer 3 in that thing yesterday?
>>569866164Lol. Lmao, even
40k more like 40 bad
>>569866164No.
>>569863532Yes, ulthwe will be leaded by farseer, biel tan will be leaded by autarch or high-elected exarch
ESL here.So Armageddon will be the only "teater of war" / narrative campaign ? I thought the map was galaxy ?
looks like they are treating the imperium ad a single 'race' instead of space marines, guard, etc
>>569867123it will be the campaign/story mode I believe, the other galaxy mode is the "sandbox"
Byzantines will be the most OP faction in Medieval 3it's what my sources tell me, CA thinks masturbating to Medieval Greek polities is the kind of stuff histoids are into
>>569867189I reckon Armageddon is going to be kind of like the tutorial/prologue campaign from WH3.
>>569867123Assuming GW didn't forget, they can add Ultramar and The Maelstorm too.
>>569867241But will they get the roof tiles right?
>>569867123Armageddon will most likely be the center for events in the launch version.
>>569867297no, and Medieval 3 will flop with overwhelmingly negative reviews after rooftilegate
>>569867241Only emperors worth a damn like Justinian were native Latin speakers, when the gayreeks took real control of the empire it went to total shit, gay orgies while we pay off the horsenigs with ancient coffers to not assrape us
>>56986227540k really is a complete sasuagefest, which wasn't a problem all those decades ago, but is nowWHFB too to lesser extent and but it was killed before they could "fix it". Still they managed to squeeze in shit like stronk wymyn of Nuln who needs no Magic Collage and now of course they started to mutilate it too since it's back.This is why Empire was cucked out of a FLC LL in TWW1, I remember it plain as day how Grace excused Isabella, that she was needed so TWW can have Female LL. Same with Clyostra being added instead of Vangheist, in order to represent people of all shapes and sizes.But 40k basically doesn't have women. All Marines and their Chaos counterparts are all male. Orks, Necrons and Nids and even minor xenos like Kroot have no actual females. Eldar could have, but GW always only made males for them anyway, save for a single unit of Banshees. SoB were only females in setting really. Which is why Imperial Guard has to bear the full force of DEI quotas for the entire setting for so longWhich is why I expect for characters like Macha to be in as well. It really can be Macha. That way they will have at least 1 female LL in game. It's honestly not that different from why DoW made all Farseers female, but they did it for variety sake back then.
>>569863887Armageddon is constantly under siege since it's a chokepoint next to Terra. If Orks conquer it, they are free to attack Terra.
>>569867569so Ghazghkull is still doing his waagh? he's been at it for decades I think, dude was in the main char in all dawn of wars
>>569867241wtf capelin betrayed us by claiming the gayreeks were romans, does madison know of this?
>>569867493>reads entire thread>some gender wars trash is what xe replies tojust go back
>>569867123Galaxy is meta progression system, not actual campaign mapYou select different campaigns which you will actually play on a galactic mapArmageddon is the first premade campaign. Others are 4x generated ones for an infinite replay value>>569867175Those are probably Alliances like Order of Battle GW does
All Eldarbros will get a craftworld mandated howling banshee GF.
>>569867712capelin is a fujoshitterMermaidison shouldn't hang out with that kind of woman if she values her sanity
>>569867852asked AI to summarize that text since I cba to read it allOn a strategic level, players manage armies across entire planets instead of traditional continents, capturing outposts and hive cities while having the option to use orbital bombardments or planet-destroying Exterminatus attacks. On the tactical level, real-time battles emphasize physical, close-quarters combat alongside guns and tanks, introducing a highly realistic cover system and completely destructible urban environments where falling skyscrapers and chaotic physics affect factions differently based on their unique playstyles.
>>569867935madison's also a fujoshitter based on her insane output of achilles/patroclus posting
>>569867706In DoWs you had Gorgutz, not Ghazghkull. Gorgutz is basically DoW version of Ghazghkull so they can do with him whatever they want>>569867840Diversity quotas are extremely important and are directly responsible for what's put in a game. They can't put females into Orks or Marines. That leaves Guard and Eldar. But Guard already is confirmed to have at least one male LL - Yarrick. This makes it extremely likely that Eldar will get Female LL, which makes Macha very, very likely, even if it's wasteful for Biel-Tan to get a Farseer as a LL
>>569868039maybe, but she also started flirting with Volound so it might have been just an act
>>569868174oh fuck gorgutz, yeah, is that guy still around in canon lore? i guessblood ravens are my favorite chapter just from growing up with dawn of war
>>569868174>diversity quotas are extremely importantgo back
>>569868303Anon, these are two British companies we're talking about. They're legally obligated to put that stuff in any form of media they happen to create, it's a literal checklist.
>>569867861Yummers
>>569867493>Eldar could have, but GW always only made males for them anyway, save for a single unit of Banshees.Guardians have had female models in the box since 3rd edition (and possibly earlier but I'm not terribly familiar with 2nd and RT model ranges) and female aspect warriors/warlocks/farseers/etc. show up all the time in writing - including the little snippets of lore within the army books themselves - so IMO it's a little odd that GW didn't use the latest round of kit refreshes to add female sculpts to a bunch of the aspect warrior kits at least.
>armageddon is the only planet in 40kDead on arrival
>>569868561Armageddon is the ongoing theater of war in the release version. The entire galaxy will be in the game on launch but dynamic events will only be in the Armageddon theater of war on release.
>>569868448go post about it on a different website nigger
>>569868301He is in DoW4 again, so yeah>>569868303Stop being retardedIt's a plain fact no matter if you want it or not. And that makes Macha a safe bet now. 40k is a sasuagefest so they will have to squeeze every inch out places where they can put female LLsI can see it being>SMCalgarTor Garadon because Imperial Fists Chapter Master is a literal who without model, but IF are generic Marines without dlc potential>IGYarrickUrsula Creed>OrksGhazghkullNazdreg Ug Urdgrub>EldarMachaEldrad >>569868561It's entire system most likely
>all this talkI just want end times to give me a good narrative campaign, man. 40k isn't going to be good for like years. Although the closed beta is tempting.
>>569867493TRVKE post especially the Isabella part but unfortunately /twg/ is overrun with pesudoledditors who dont like being reminded of the reality of CA
the great rat empire WILL fall
>>569868808Bro you can't leak gameplay from the Leagues of Votan!
>>569869090Make sure to enlist the umgi hilfswilliger when you launch operation barbarossa agains the eternal r*t
Yin-Yin SEX
>>569868768Since using VCO it is hard to play without it. It seems like CA realizes how fun narrative campaigns are though from the press they have put out. Also they surely noticed VCO is the most popular mod.
>>569869328But the small Bulgarian team will be put on overtime.
>>569869328Discounting Mixer and MCM which are 1 and 2 and Better Camera Mod which is 3, Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords is actually the most popular WH3 mod. R*dious is also in there somewhere.
>>569869506how about SFO?
Has anyone ever went full Under-empire and kept expansion low? It seems so ass compared to Deeps or even Slaanesh cults
its coming...
>>569869598Checking now it's higher than Radious, actually right below Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords at 5. Thank god some people have taste. Radious is actually lower than I thought at 11.
Am I the only one who does not think that DOW4 and TW40k compete with each other at all? They are totally different games. It feels like people only compare them as a means to attack one or the other.Not genuine.
>>569869735Shut up and just play along, anon.
>>569869735I will play both regardless but I understand the comparison, if you're a normie just into 40k>you can buy two RTS 40k games >you have to pick oneunpopular opinion but I think dawn of war 2 was so incredibly boring, like holy shit, it plays like a moba but its so incredibly slow paced and lame, bad game imo, haven't even played 3hoping 4 is more like 1
>>569869698Turn 193Anon, your commitment and determination is rather legendary around these parts.
>>569869820Longer than most campaigns played by the player base, that's for sure.
>>569869820malakai got pushed around all earlygame I couldn't do anything... I gotta keep going just to spite the vermin and chaos my avg campaign length is like 130 turns tho this is way past that but I've never had the world in this shit a state as order
>>569869938Uh, I think that you are at war with Teclis and Aislinn. Elves are supposed to be our friends.
>>569870147i always try to friend up all order factions unless they make my borders ugly, but they declared due to my alliance with arkhan, what can u do...
>>569869735There are differences yeah, base building most notably. But DoW4 will die since RTS is a dead genrePeople will play cinematic campaigns once and then uninstallKings Art know this so they remade Dark Crusade campaign as a discount TW mode for it, but obviously nobody will play that over TW campaignThey have the time until TW40k releases
>>569870275>since RTS is a dead genre*blocks your path*
Schematics from Nan-Gauhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3723969862
>Load up Total War warhammer 40k.>Main menu shows the galactic conflict before you can click off it.>Your faction is always loosing.How do you cope?
>>569869328VCO isn't even a narrative campaign. It's close, but it's more like a targeted sandbox. i have very high hopes for end times to play something like a changeling campaign with better layout for factions or even forced stages so kislev isn't wiped by skaven or chaos dwarves by turn 30.
>>569870434It doesn'tIt's one of 3 multiplayer RTS which live, because RTS only and solely have replay value in multiplayer. The other being Starcraft and CoH. DoW4 has zero chance to develop MP community so it's one trick pony which will day once players beat those linear cinematic campaigns
>>569870838but so whatnot every game has to be live serviceif it does well on release with a great campaign its enough to carry it
>>569870838>. DoW4 has zero chance to develop MP communityIt is not impossible. also rts sometimes does well. People liked dows risk style map and everyone enjoyed bfmes war of the ring mode.
>>569870791My faction is always losing in For Honor's meta war and I never particularly cared.
>charts posting
broke my alliance with arkhan because he kept fucking with the elves, but kislev are his allies and they're pissed, after so much grooming I did to turn em into a power
>>569867493>Same with Clyostra being added instead of VangheistCylostra is fun thoughbeit.
>>569869663>Has anyone ever went full Under-empire and kept expansion low?I don't even know how to use the Under-empire tbqhwy anon.Always seems like it isn't really worth the investment.
>>569870932>but so what>not every game has to be live serviceIt means that devs will have to abandon it since there is no playerbase to milk. DoW4 won't fulfill it's potential and won't get all factions>>569870993>People liked dows risk style map and everyone enjoyed bfmes war of the ring mode.Yeah, those exists because devs realized that linear cinematic campaigns have no future in strategy games and started pivoting away. Now RTS evolved into separate different genres, TW and Paradox games being most obvious, with highest replyability Soren Johnson was right
>>569871807the singleplayer playerbase will come back for story DLC

>>569871875didn't save Iron Harvest. Cinematic campaigns have far lesser value than faction you can use in endless sandbox campaignsWithout sizeable constant, concurrent playerbase game dies, marketing dies, word of mouth is gone. 4chan generals die, subreddits become ghost towns. No memes are being made and spread out around web, no modders, no shillfluencers to shill your game. People forget your game. It's a death sentence
