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.

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.

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.

have you tried the best lord in Cathay?

Got WH3 on sale. How bad do Cathay/Kislev rosters feel without DLC? Am I going to hate myself or do they mainly just add powercreep?

>>573303114
>How bad do Cathay/Kislev rosters feel without DLC?
Not that bad, for both Cathay and Kislev the DLC roster additions are more about allowing new playstyles than completing the one they already had (they're still good additions to the base roster and can complement it, but they're not necessary for the intended "stand and shoot" playstyle both of them usually have).
Cathay gets the tiger warriors which are really fun and allow for a more melee rush/sneaky flanking shit playstyle, and their guandao high tier tigers are a fantastic antilarge with good charges so they're ideal flank forces for your vanilla Cathay armies.
Kislev gets a bunch of creatures that are all obvious fast and melee focused, one unit of skirmishers (that was EXTREMELY broken on release, but has been nerfed to just solid) and the kislevite warriors which are basically lighter Empire halberdiers as a tier 0 unit the fucking bastards.

>>573300143
Not even comparable.
In current version (8.0.2) Cathayan bows/xbows can easily stack to >100% reload bonus without magic items and ancillaries.
+10% from generic lord red talent Fast Hands
+18% from 150% Harmony
+5% from Gate Master talent Tactician
+10% from Lord Magistrate talent Grand Tactician
+5% from Eye of the Dragon (Lord Magistrate/Alchemist Sky Lantern mount passive)
+10% from War Drum aura
+N*10% stackable from Gate Master talent Sentry of Mettle
+18% from level 9
With 3 Gate Masters you get +106% reload.
This means how fast they shoot is just how fast the reloading animation is (which is very fast).
Celestial Crossbows have 4x the DPS of Sisters of Avalon when both have all campaign research and hero/lord bonus.

>>573303114
Way less needed than WH2 races, I don't really give a fuck about their DLC stuff

>>573299767
There's a solution to this anon, but you won't like it: You need to leave earlier. Slow the battle down if you have to, but you should be leaving relatively quick after charge impact unless you're certain you can just out-melee them.

I barely use the DLC units honestly.
Kislev gives them tier 0 AP antilarge which is quite nice but you'll phase them out by mid/lategame.

Cathay gets some SEMs I never used, some order furies that are pretty decent but rarely needed since you mostly fight Chaos, and the tigers which I haven't bought because they weren't based enough to give her tits.

The most game-changing thing are the heroes, Hag Witches have a shitty heal spell but it's better than nothing, while Gate Masters buff your Jade Warriors significantly. Astromancers also get the new Cathay bird as a mount with DLC.

You need all DLCs for your favorite factions they are worth it. Kislev + Cathay DLC is the best monsters. Dark Elves is a Medusae + chariots (anyway this is a great things for pvp battles; if you want you can try pvp as 2v2 or 3v3 roons it is very fun and easy). If you want to play Beastmen or Lizars you certanly need they dlc. If you want to play rats you need Ikit dlc (this one about the best range options)

Malakai and Ulrika got taken down before this battle (so no Spirit of Grungni either), Ulrika by a Molder agent and Malakai by Astragoth's bull centaurs in a different battle within the same turn. I put my reinforcements from Kraka Drak under AI control because I didn't think I'd manage to control that many units at once, but that might have been a fuck up because the AI just completely messed my defensive lines.
