All they said was patch this week then heads down until they are ready to show more, they did emphasize that they are still gunning for a summer launch so don't expect anything solid for WH3 til early August.

Will there be any references to Boris Todbringer's wife?

You don't even need to play any game to know if it's good. In some cases even reading developer name is enough. I don't need to play snoy moviegame sloppa to know it's all garbage for an example
Listed and showcased features already make TW40K objectively better
It's an objective statement which can be proven via objective means

Newfag who bought TWW 2 and 3 on the sale
Before the sale ends are any DLCs worth it? Of the factions I own I like Ksliev, Cathay, and Dark elves so are any of their DLCs worth picking up? What about other factions?
>>
>>573289984
I just put them in a line in the front. Easy. Put some dudes behind them to rescue them or on the flanks if necessary. Maybe I'll put some melee dudes in between my guns to run ahead and intercept. Cav on the flanks usually works good. It used to trigger the fuck out of me if anything touched my guns, but now I find it's better if you put them in danger.

Queen & the Crone is basically mandatory for DElves/HElves.
Shadow & the Blade is okay, but not really a "must buy".
What do you like about those factions?
Because for example Vampire Counts is the brutal spellcasters & heroes of Cathay, the monsters of Dark Elves, but absolutely no ranged units.
>>

>The Queen and The Crone

Dark Elves are pretty good overall

Kislev is pretty mid

Yuan Bo is pretty nice but the Furry Lord is pretty forgetable

>>573290653
>>573291062
As far as general playstyles I like combined arms mostly, where it feels like i can use a bit of everything. I also however wouldn't mind a rushdown/melee focused faction or two to try out. Kislev does the combinded arms stuff, Cathay feels very turtle/defensive focused though.
I was looking at Norsca, Warriors of Chaos, and Chaos Dwarfs mostly.
>>
>>573290527
yea trying a hyper modded Empire run as a last hurrah before Toddy. it's not very good.

>wouldn't mind a rushdown/melee focused faction or two to try out
If you want Warriors of Chaos then get their DLC and Champions of Chaos, they have a good variety (melee rush, monsters, magic, cavalry). Chaos Dwarfs is also a solid choice, so just get their DLC. Beastmen is also pretty good too but focused more on ambush. Norsca in comparison is still whatever faction, the same for The Daemon of Chaos.

Yes.
Bretonnian AI is particularly trash unless you mod them to be better.
Otherwise they sit with endless peasant stacks.
If you make allies with them they stop getting their resource cheats too, so they can't tech up to making cav stacks unless they're your enemy.
