I'm extremely gay but want to kill all men too. LL for this feeling?
imagine the smell
>>574835363Easy, Sigvald.He want to kill anyone uglier than him just for the crime of being ugly. But will absolutely not tolerate anyone possibly being prettier than him.
>>574835569what about people who looksmatch him
>>574835643He murdered his best friend, threw him out of the top of a tower, because that friend was almost as pretty as he was. Only Sigvald is allowed to be pretty around Sigvald.
>>574835784pretty rude ngl to lie
>>574835301Ignoring the fact they don't actually look attractive at all tau are probably the worst race to use if you want a giant mommy gf.That's what kroot are for. Your basic kroot are taller than a space marine and their muscle tissue stronger than that of human's by volume.
>>574835363Malekith obviously. He hates all men and forbids em from being sorcerers. He's an obvious twink tho. Why else would his name be MALEkith. Trying too hard to not be a sissy faggot
>>574835569>Meant to be an eternal 16 year old>Looks like Chadicus Maximus had a son with Fabio
>>574836007GW is slowly giving in and making canon tau more and more attractive.Just look at Shadowsun's new model.>but teh cover of her novel!No. BL slop isn't canon and the cover art even less so.
>>574836339>No. BL slop isn't canon and the cover art even less so.
>>574836339>Just look at Shadowsun's new modelThe actual model just shows you a rather unattractive face and indicates female tau might have nice hair and nothing else.
>>574835301tau are absolutely the lamest xenoseven lamer than eldar though not by muchbest xenos are the necrons and the tyranids ofc
>>574836974>tau are absolutely the lamest xenos
>>574837031obsolete mining equipment doesn't count
>>574837031
Guys...where is thanquolfag?
>>574836974the worst xenos are sisters of battle(women are not human)
>>574837272his reason to live is gone now than trannquol was officially announced so probably dead
>>574836212She's far from "anime waifu" but when Tau used to be depicted as outright ugly and alien, having wrinkled skin and just a patch of protein strands that were their hair equivalent, Shadowsun getting smooth skin and a raised nose is a step in the direction of waifus from where they were.
>>574836943models always look kinda funky desuwashe's still smooth which is one step closer in the anime-ification of the tau
>>574836974We'll never get the truly best xenos
>>574837521I'm pretty sure unscarred tau have always had smooth skin in art and models for decades.
>new thread>activity on pol lvl>10mins later>deadEvery time..

>>574840673There's nothing to talk about. Its been months since the last major DLC. We'll get some more activity thursday with some gameplay reveals for 40k.
>>574838280models were always mostly smooth for ease of painting but your pic has some texture on the cheeks. Probably meant to evoke that grizzled look but potentially also the basis for later art that made them all wrinkly like that godawful book cover

>Cenobites>Vampires>Melnibonéans>Hutt>CyberPunks>Anime edgelords>Mad scientists>Pirates>GladiatorsSickest faction ever, TW40k can't add them quickly enough
>>574850408They technically are but they're also all clones that have had their eugenics guided by AI for at least ten thousand years so they're not getting the abhuman treatment from the imperium at least.And GW lumps them in with xenos because they don't have a category for a technically human faction that isn't aligned with the imperium or chaos. I guess "xenos" is just the "everything else" category then.

>>574851353>ayo we wuz drukhari n sheit
>>574837031this race is so bland, boring and generic it actually makes me mad
>>574851542That's to be expected from a from scratch race by current GW. I wouldn't be surprised if votann art is traced over AI prompts of "science fiction dwarves" that GW threw at some of their artists.Don't know why they hate helmets so fucking much either.
Are any of the AI mods for WH3 worth using? I see theres a lot of them

how will allied recruitment work in 40k?will they keep the autistic who can ally who chart rules or keep it simple?
>>574856080You're not getting chaos space marines in your imperium armies.
>>574856080They didn't do it in Warhammer Fantasy, they won't do it here.
>>574856080>chaos demons are allies with imperial guardYeah right. I also hang out with great unclean ones at the bar.
alright, what if>ally chorfs as dorfs>if the manlets stand to close together they start brawling
>>574856610It's probably for traitor guardBlood pact chads wya
>>574856080this says space marines are battle brothers with tau
>>574857175wouldn't that just.. make them chaos? I don't know shit about 40k lore but if a human goes over to chaos, they are chaos. There is no back.
>>574857358In the older editions where you would find this chart chaos was just demons and marines, but could take guard as allied reinforcementsI may be remembering it wrong, that was over 15 years ago
>>574856610GW canon > your head canon
>>574857358Anything chaos aligned but not a chaos space marine or a daemon or dark mechanicus or a chaos knight tends to get lumped into something called the lost and the damned.
they don't know i'm only using chaos to further my goals and am not a pathetic puppet of the gods like them... heh...
>>574856080>Dark eldar and eldar are battle brothers >Tau and space marines are battle brothers >Tau and eldar are battle brothers >Tau and Chao are desperate allies to allies of conscience

Beastmemes were never known for intelligence.
>>574856080Restricted. Imperium should only be able to ally with other Imperium and Eldar/Votann & Maybe Tau. Everyone else should be auto war (I know they work with Blood axes and some Drukhari mercs, but maybe that could be a subfaction trait)
>>574860019did you try to parallel park right in front of them?
I wonder will I finish painting my Ork set before TW:40K releases.Gonna have merch for the best faction in TW:40K in advance.
Another display of ungor excellency
>>574860164Nigga what? Do they have these boxed sets for all the factions now? I havent bought anything from gw in years. If so, about damn time they made a kit with the models + paints. Im so jaded from endless greytide
>>574836212
>>574860873Models + paints is just the "combat patrol" for Orks and Marines as of now.It's their half from starter set plus paints, brush and texture spreading tool.Idk will they do the same for other factions or is this just for starters
>>574860949reminds me of this 15 year old
>>574861327Also Orks got the vast majority of their Armaggedon set, literally missing the walker mech and Big Boss/Bannernob/PainboyWhen compared to previous launch box vs starter set mini counts, this is pretty good.Also starter set is great includes bunch of terrain plus gameboard

How does this affect Total War: 40k
>>574863307In no way. The only thing that matters is mini releases/what's going to legendsThey aren't gonna translate TT balance to vidya

>>5748636963rd week of September... ;-;
>>574861615The word balloon text is copypasted from the manga.
>>574863462Legends doesn't matter either, they're adding retroactive support for Legend units. The only thing it might influence is order of being added for DLCs.They added old shit for WH3.
Which Primarchs are we most excited for?
this mod is the tits for playing as the helves: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3762264147 every loss you take inflicts long term damage to your growth and economy. i'm doing an Imrik campaign and the amount of planning and engagement with the game mechanics population management forces me into is genuinely fantastic. you can't shit out crapstack/doomstack armies with your busted economy anymore to clobber the enemy's main forces and then rapidly take their settlements or else your economy goes into the shitter and you can't sustain armies. ambushing and actually using the court intrigue mechanic (with a mod to make disposition automatically trigger wars at -200 so opinion manipulation actually means shit) to minimize losses is really important. so is building coalitions and controlling the amount of wars you get in. the only downside is that it doesn't affect the main helf factions and they take over the their corner of the world. but with how powerful chaos is in these recent patches, i'm genuinely having a a roller coaster of a time managing the order coalition in the old world with tiny, elite armies making strategic interventions where absolutely necessary.
>>574864000Dorn because I always play tall and defensively

>other game threads on the tw reddit>barely any replies>fantasy threads>some replies>40k threads>SO MANY REPLIES

>>574863920My guess is.>Units in tabletop are in>New units from 40k and Kill team are in>Old as fuck units that have no plans of being brought to modern standards are in at the end of the game's life.
>>574865226Historical games are "solved". There's nothing to discuss or debate because we have the facts of everything laid out for us. 40k is a setting in the far future with elements that ensure there's always going to be unreliable narrators giving every bit of lore to us, which ensures people can continue to disagree about everything which drives discussion

I suppose it's fair to assume that CA will add all armybooks factions, since cross-promotion is a big thing now.

>>574835301humans aren't allowed to be fire warriors, right? they're some auxilaries, I thought
>>574854687this game is pure meh, really mid, I actually regret buying it on Steam a bit but boy are the aesthethics cool, the cover especially
>>574866583Yeah, they're auxiliaries, but I think they get given the same gear as fire warriors? Kroots and vespids don't because they need something more specialized for their shapes and capabilities, but humans are almost identical to Tau.

>Ulthwe>Tau>OrksWhat's even the point of playing anyone else?
>>574867046Nobody will be able to afford PCs soon, it's a sensible business move
>>574865247feet!
>>574866583Humans, not being tau, are not part of the tau caste system, meaning they cannot be fire caste and so cannot be fire warriors as a literal classification.But, having generally similar physical attributes and usually being given the same equipment as fire warriors, they can be readily deployed identically to fire warriors and look very similar to fire warriors.>>574866757Elite kroot, notably shapers, are actually given access to pulse rifles by the tau military.
>>574837272I was sleeping, friend.
there's smth rly kino about the tau design, while the eldar design lacks, but eldar look 10/10 on some units like the warp spider art someone posted here the other day, but their basic guardians are really shitty and zestywhile pulse rifles and fire warriors in general are 10/10 basic units basically eldar are held back by now lame guardians n prism tanks and the basic wraithlords are, while they also have some elite designs
How do you go from this...To THIS? >>574866253
>>57486792150% of that list is chaosshit that can be comfortably folded into 1 faction besides skaven (which no one likes) and lizardmen which fled to another galaxy, 40k has all those races lol
now that modern doctrines are no problemTotal War: Command & Conquer whenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4AUY-v1nsE
>>574868010>50% of that list is chaosshit that can be comfortably folded into 1 faction Same can be said for space marines and chaos in 40k
>>574868498i mean truebut there's a lot more potential for sub factions from the existing factionsshitton of necron dynasties with their own shit (more than tomb kangz) + craft worlds and eldar sub-species + hive fleets etc40k is just massive so u can shit out anything, fantasy is limited by existing army books from 30 years ago
>>574868498Well I'm pretty sure space marines have been one faction in almost every 40k video game with factions.It's tabletop and video games heavily inspired by tabletop that try to do the army list per space marine chapter thing.
>>574841584Thanks for covering for me, friend.
>>574868197Red Alert is much better than the main games
>>574866583>>574866757>>574867720What the hell would you even call them? Gue'vesa Levies?
>>574868983They'd be auxiliaries like the other non-tau aliens, no?
>>574868937eh, true, but there is no RTS with better atmosphere than tiberian sun, period, I played it through for the first time a few months ago, amazing experience, even tho red alert 2 is the better game in every other way, sun will be more memorable longterm I feel because it's just ludokino atmosphere and setting (idk what that means but I just assume its for a tier above "kino")
>>574868197Not a bad idea at all.They'd have to make a ton of new factions to populate a game map though.
>>574868983Gue'vesa. The "vesa" part already implies they're helping the Tau. If they were just any humans, it'd be Gue'la. Gue'vesa auxiliaries if you want to specify that they're helping as soldiers.
>>574869060Sure but even auxiliaries have titles in addition to their species designation. Carnivores, Stingwings, etc.>>574869086Is that how it works? I barely ever see lore about Gue'vesa.
>>574868754Space Marines will certainly be one faction here as well, but each specific lord will have their specific units
>>574864000Konrad Kurze is my fuarking hero
>>574869154>I barely ever see lore about Gue'vesa.Because GW, in their infinite wisdom, for some fucking reason, keep neglecting the auxiliaries side of Tau lore and instead keep going all in on big mecha units.Which mind you, I find the mechs just as cool as the next guy, but they're just increasingly bigger and fancier cool mechs while auxiliaries are the ones that can add narrative interest to the Tau. It's basically the only well known place in the setting where different xenos species don't just coexist but even thrive together.
>>574869171It'll just be like how shimazu doesn't get katana samurai, they get shimazu katana samurai.
>>574869075you have like 4 main factions with nod, GDI, mutants and scrin you can make a shitton of sub factions with those, kane's wrath already half the work with the steel talons being TS gdi with walkers and oldschool doctrine with the current GDI and the science GDI also being their own things, nod being split into black hand and normal etc underrated setting, red alert is cool but.... its just cold warimo CA don't even have the balls to do 20th century+ total wars due to the politics
>>574869319>imo CA don't even have the balls to do 20th century+ total wars due to the politicsThat and retard faggot journalists that have to make clickbait articles incessantly
>>574868937Red alert 3 was the start of my fitfu fetish with gina carano. Tim curry was icing on the cake. God bless that game
>>574869521for me its the polish bitch from 2 (all red alert girls are hotties tho in all the games)
>>574869154They have very disproportionately high popularity considering GW never talks about them and hasn't bothered to give them a unit sheet in over ten years.Human troops in general are just referred to as gue'vesa, though they have a couple additional ranks according to veterancy and such.
>>574869689Very true. The series could simply not be made or even remade today
only 1 enemy left of the c*rthage ilk then i just wanna build up for like 20 turns but ik some clowns will declare
>>574869705I still don't understand why they don't make models for human auxiliaries. It's easy money.
>>574869297if they wanted tau to make money they would make this
>>574869297>It's basically the only well known place in the setting where different xenos species don't just coexist but even thrive together.Well that's true. The Interex sure as hell isn't coming back.
>>574869875it used to be that attractive talentless but with looks american white girls auditioned for every gig they could find, often ones in nerdy properties which objectified them a lil bit but they dind't give a shit now that whole class of women is just on onlyfans, every single one, this was cataclysmic for the boothbabe archetype, driving them to near total extinction
>>574869297>It's basically the only well known place in the setting where different xenos species don't just coexist but even thrive together.We can't have that! After all, in the grim future of the 41st millenium there is only war. Warhammer, no peacemallet okay?
is tau milk blue
>>574869951>It's easy moneyWell you see, they actually recommend buying both guardsmen and fire warriors specifically for gue'vesa kitbashes.That's twice the money right there.
>>574869297Yeah it's weird how they've done so little with the concept. The Tau should be the best faction to introduce minor xenos races in, and the confederate nature of the faction also means you can justify their presence in battles all over the galaxy despite the tau's relatively small territory. On top of that you have depth with internal strife on the tau supremacist vs alien NATO subfactions, both of which are reflected on tabletop with their own versions of army lists.And then GW goes and releases space dwarfs as their own faction again and completely ignores that there was already a faction of them allied with the tau that they could have been reintroduced through
I did forget the dark eldar and their snake buddies. But bonding through relentlessly torturing everyone is kinda suspect.>>574870074RIP in pieces. Fucking Erebus man.
>>574870073>not tau cunnyI sleep
>>574870291tho ik i posted red alert 3 but this actually wasn't the case that much, since most of those women are actors and they spent a shitton of money on known faces for RA3, part of the reason why it couldn't recoup the costs lol, the game had a ton of other famous male actors too cept curryits true for RA2 and countless other games and shows in the 00s however
>>574870307Yes that is correct. The point of the Tau is that they're a pre-fall empire. Not that they're antiethic to the entire premise of the setting.
>>574870291Also very true. There's no need to suck producer cock for a chance at fame when onlyfans exists or athleisure brands will pay you to post workout clips on instagram.
>>574869297>>574870438i'm pretty sure GW hate the tau and regret introducing them, too moral, now besides the new grimderp lore fluff they're tryinna soft rewrite the whole faction
>>574870438The demiurg that were allied with the tau and introduced in battlefleet gothic have in fact been squatted/retconned into being votann all along.
I dont know how to play beastmemes and what to recruit
>>574870612kek every 40k tard says this when their favorite faction gets portrayed negatively in this supposedly grimdark setting
>>574870612aren't they popular on TT. GW neither whales care about the lore.
>>574870612I don't think that's true or else why expand on farsight and give him his own subfaction instead of just saying he died on the way back to his own planet
>>574870770the paradox is you can't have a truly grimdark setting with how popular warhammer has gotten and how GW wanna push it to be evne more mainstreamyou literally cannot, its fundamentally not compatible, so they just larp with grimderp shit
>>574870612They work best when they're portrayed as ruthlessly pragmatistic in the pursuit of their ideals but then you get "THATS FROM A TTRPG/VIDEO GAME IT DOESNT COUNT" in response
>>574870737minotaurs and extra large minotaurscharge into the enemy army or draw them into a forest and then charge them if you're feeling extra tactical
>>574870796Yes they are. Especially this edition. But I'd bet that's mostly waacfagging and not diehard fans of the faction
>>574870874farsight's faction is part of it.... he wants to genocide humans n shit it makes the tau darker
>>574870998my point being, as long as they draw dimes why would GW care about them being not grimderp enough
>>574871056Farsight has an entire planet dedicated to hosting humans that abandoned the Imperium.
>>574870737>KhazrakMinotaurs>MorghurMinotaurs>MalagorMinotaurs>TauroxMinotaurshope this helps
>>574871056>he wants to genocide humans n shitHe literally has three fucking planets of humans in his domain that he works with. This isn't even the first time I see this claim that Farsight is actually super racist and I have yet to see anyone actually point out at where that's ever been said, because all evidence and actual written lore points to the contrary.
I always read about Norsca being OP and broken but I fail to see why.Granted I'm a noob that plays campaigns on Normal difficulty, and I find Norsca very fun, but I don't see how they're particularly overpowered. Are people talking about in multiplayer? Throgg's campaign is pretty faceroll, I will admit.
>guys here's my oc faction they're noblebright and want to spread 90s nato human rights and use ai with no drawbacks and accept xenos and theyre immune to chaos and they have huge milky tits
RAA ROOOO
>>574871168>>574871286ngl that's just what I've heard and it comes up every time in talks about farsight that he hates humans idk the source lmao, he definitely doesn't let them serve in his armies tho right?
>>574869521Gem of a game
>>574871346>and they have huge milky titsAnd that's all they need to hook me and justify their existence
WHAThow does this unit cap workno more than 4 baleric slingers in the whole playthrough?
>>574871346As a small tits enjoyer I am immune to their wiles.
My favorite 40k factions are IG, Orks, Necrons, and Tau. They could be the only factions in TW40k and I'd be content
>>574871346>>574871369Farsight is the Big Boss of 40k, the Enclaves are Outer Heaven. He's a rogue and a "traitor" to everyone else. He's one of the few Tau to come to understand the true nature of Chaos and nearly fell to it himself, and relies entirely on a bizarre xenotech weapon he doesn't understand to live. Something's kept him alive on purpose for a reason we can only speculate at.
>>574871369Again, there's literally zero actual written lore on Farsight not liking humans, in fact all evidence points to him finding it even easier to work with gue'vesa than the main empire itself, since he dedicates a BIG chunk of his enclave territory to hosting humans. It seems to just be some rumor spread from someone who's butthurt about him being the last bastion of simple and disinterested morality in the setting.If there's any particular species Farsight does hate, it's the orks.
>>574871535the tau tits meme comes from the fact they evolved from a bovine creature, but they're quite aerodynamic
>>574871528ohits for the recruited onesyou can still get em as mercs and they look different than the recruited onesmeh
>>574871616Wasn't it because he has a magic sword that transfers the remaining lifespan of the entities it kills to the wielder?
>>574871616>>574871790>Farsight is "What if Samurai Jack founded Outer Heaven".
>>574871790Yeah it's "chronophagic" or some bullshit, and possibly a relic from the War In Heaven. Definitely seems like something the Necrontyr would make if you ask me.>>574871878Yeah that's basically the gist of it.
>>574864000genuine lore question: is Malcador an incel or just genuinely fucking retarded?I'm serious, he actually says at one point the Emperor should have made daughters instead, either he's being depicted as detatched from reality or whomever wrote that clearly has no idea how vicious women can be to each otherif the Emperor had decided to make daughters instead of sons the infighting would have been even worse, the Hathor Heresy would have still happened but this time the sisters would be calling each other fat as well
>>574871949 hv's lvtvrvllv mv...
>>574871949wasn't it written by a dude who kept wanting to introduce femstodes to trigger the chuds? Dan Abbeth or something. Tho he's the same who gave us Erda aka the galaxy biggest woman moment
>>574871852I look like this irl
>>574872064abnet is one of the best 40k writers niggafeminist or not
>>574871949>>574872064also sex with the Lioness or the Lion
>>574870612They cant hate them that much if they made catahy which you should have genuine reason to hate all around.
>>574872164I forgive his virtue signalling (he probably raped someone to do so much) because he wrote The First Heretic (or maybe I think of ADB)
>>574872196they have no choice but to appeal to cathay and treat them with respectchina will destroy GW otherwiseit's a chinapilled franchise now chinese haven't really found themselves in tau or latched onto them as much, so they aren't under their protection
>>574864000The only ones from the loyalists I'm not too sold on are Ferrus and Lion.When it comes to traitor primarchs, I like Alpharius, Magnus, Angron and Fulgrim.
>>574866253>more marines than half the rosterGW is so retarded and the people that buy marines even mores so
>>574871878LONG AGO ON A DISTANT PLANET I, A'KU, THE FATE SHIFTING MASTER OF DARKNESS, UNLEASHED AN UNSPEAKABLE EVILBUT, A FOOLISH FIRE WARRIOR WIELDING A MAGIC SWORD STEPPED FORTH TO OPPOSE ME
if araby came out today they'd just be spearmanii because magic carpets and djinn would be a hecking racist orientalism
>>574871593The importance of faction variety is having variety in the kinds of enemies you face. One of the strengths of WH3 is that the game basically plays totally differently if you're facing off against Khorne, Empire or Ogres. For 40k, the more factions they can fit the better. I'm sure IG's approach to gunning down a horde of charging melee orks will be different to its approach to winning ranged superiority against Tau which will be different to its approach to containing Dark Eldar mobility and so on. The more unique factions you can face, the more facettes of your own faction get to shine.I'd argue this is the biggest issue with the likes of Shogun 2, Napoopan and Rome 2. Every enemy faction plays essentially the same so there's essentially one kind of battle you repeat for the entire campaign.
>>574864000>>574871949fem-sanguinius mogs cool as fuck character tooblood angels are def the coolest legion but that whole blood rage thing is kinda retarded and I honestly don't even understand it how does it work again they sometimes get the urge that they have a wound where sangunius was stabbed and go into schizo rage berserk mode and kill until it stops?
>>574872478the only true major gameplay diff between facing different factions in WH is whether you have to bother dealing with strong artillery or not
>>574872391they are the main characters of the setting. if you like the enemy npc factions that's okay but don't get angry about it.
>>574872457Bullshit, magic carpets and djinni type stuff is one of the coolest mythologies in the world and a lot of arabians do reclaim it as own culture. What would be criticized is shit like Sultan Jaffar.Besides, if they made Cathay out to have a ton of chinese tropes as well and Cathay is still relatively new, they wouldn't shy away so much from representing arabs as arabs. No, the reason we don't get Araby is simply because they don't think there's a market for it.
>>574872606Weak bait
>>574872482They are psykicly linked to sanguinius via the transformation into a space marine sharing his blood, this occasionally induces a hallucination that makes them believe they are sangunius fighting in his final hours and warps their perceived reality to make certain entities near them appear to be sanguinius' foes.
>>574872294so funny western franchises still try to court these bugs a bit
>>574872457They'd be unarmed non-combatants because arabs were never the aggressors ever in history and committed 0 beheadings or honour killings or Jizya and everywhere that they spread (peacefully of course) was a multicultural paradise of ethnic and religious tolerance.And if you suggest otherwise they'll behead you in the streets of London.
>>574872868unlike west pigs which creamapi and bitch n moan all the time chinese are fine with paying for content especially DLC since they're used to gacha model gaming for years now, that and they're a huge market, they're courted more than just "a bit"
>>574872391Space Marine chapters aren't unique rosters, they're just a paint job and occasionally some unique flavour heroes/abilities.
>>574872794They know there is a market for kislev on tabletop but still delayed it to rewrite it so they wouldn't catch flak for seeming pro-russian. They also said they hired a chinese culture sensitivity team when designing cathay. They are absolutely 100% worried about the way people perceive a new faction
>>574869297Commorragh ?
>>574872482In a psychic sort of way, Sanguinius is alive and this kinda bad for his geneseed marines. His battle with Horus before his demise became a cool VR video that everyone of his stock can potentially enjoy sometime in the future.
>>574873057>unlike west pigs which creamapi and bitch n moan all the time chinese are fine with paying for content especially DLC since they're used to gacha model gaming for years nowLike all that three kingdoms DLC they bought.Oh wait.
>>574872794The mods kinda prove there is. If they wanted to do a big Tilea/Estalia push which I think they could, dogs of war could be a big part of it and they could really expand on other factions as mercenaries. Table top or game I just want more junk to kitbash with
>>574873225they didn't buy that cause it suckedthose "500 years in the past" type DLCs always flop in TW cause they're too undercookedlike rise of the samuraiFOTS was a rare exception just cause everyone loves gunpowder
>>574872794Cathay is a white bread with no butter faction with no edge or salt. if it had been made even 10 years earlier it would look completely different.
I really hate this fucking cheating ai>sitting in ambush stance with comfy 100% chance>enemy wont leave their settlement for 5 turns>leave with my ambush army>enemy instantly runs out and razes my settlement
>>574873094Those 'chinese cultural sensitivity teams' are normal for any company working with China. They're plants handpicked by the CCP who get a say in general governance of the company in exchange for not getting banned from China. They don't actually perform any cultural sensitivity or regulatory compliance, they just exist so that the Party has a direct line to any company working in China and an excuse to ban them if they feel like it.
Where do you think each of the LotET lords will start? Boris seems obvious but idk about the others
damn, maybe these things are worth the huge costs, 2 squads insta routed an elephant or two died tho :(
>>574873313FotS had the benefit that the basic foundation for the game was already built by Napoleon. By virtue of the era, you don't need a tonne of unique model and animation work because everyone's in uniform. They still managed to royally fuck up naval warfare, though.
I just phoned the CCP and showed them a picture of Nagash and they told me they're going to ban all GW slop in China and sue CA for false advertising
>>574873607problem is the ai forgot to build pigmanii
>>574872865Doesn't that imply that sanguinis is somehow still alive? Why would they keep having flashbacks from a dead man? He sounds like he's in stasis and reliving his final battle over and over.
>>574873730Fake. Their phone operators have gone home for the day
>>574873607Elephants are very strong vs infantry since they're one of the few units in R2 that cause Terror. But they're useless vs cavalry because all their damage is mass-based.Just remember to use them like chariots and never leave them in melee.
>>574873149>>574870456
>>574873398The funniest is in the Shogun 2 era where they AI always automatically knows where all your ambushing armies are and knows whether the ambush chance will roll a success. It will literally split a single unit of ashigaru off of its army and send it to trigger the ambush, then dogpile the now-revealed army.
>>574872112
>>574873987they're p good, this time none diedgreat for breaking these annoying pikeman or hoplite formations FUCK SACRED BAND glad carthage is gone
>>574873607>Got Anno 117 recently.>tfw in the campaign mode, the emperor forces you to go to Albion with an elephant in your tiny ass ship>tfw you then just forget about it and leave it there, in a strange land it's not adapted for, with no other elephants for companySad prööh.
>>574874335holy prooh dude
i started getting this - emp maintanence skill on literally all my generalswith 3 levels I can see my income jump by 1k for every generalinsane value
Why didn't CA try to promote the shitty Troy game with Nolan's shitty flick
>>574871343They are not.
Why does Attila on normal feel so much more difficult than warhammer on very hard
>>574874571cause it is? attila is the hardest game BY far, too hard to be fun some would say only like 3-4 factions can be considered "easy" shit like saxons
>>574819130every single province has the -industry income effectso where tf should I put industry lmaomaybe northern europe places don't have this debuff? i guess
>>574871343They are a top 2 faction in domination together with slaanesh and i believe they're also quite good on LB too, i don't play that one much.They just have very efficient units in almost all roles(bearmen+berserks+jav cav+most of the monster/beast stuff) so they statcheck the fuck out of most other factions while still being quite fast
>>574874860alright how tf is the sahara desert province suitable for food production? silly
>>574872064>ho kept wanting to introduce femstodes to trigger the chuds?Wasn't that Aaron Demski-Bowden?
>>574875339I stand corrected, checked and it's Indeed ADB
look at my chud son balding at 25 manhe's lucky I arranged that blonde bitch into marrying him, prob some prime gallic p
>>574874571For all its faults the movie has the cyclops being a big monster with one eye that eats people and not a large lad wearing an elephant skull so it's definitely the better adaptation.
>>574875469oh... maybe she really is a gaul
>>574875254 according to herodotus their historical export was "troglodyte ethiopian slaves"
>>574875254Oasis.
>>574874689>>574874571I played alans and made a comfy little kingdom around the black seaIdk if it was harder but it was definitely slower
>>574875481Im going to fuck your skull you little whore
>>574874571Because it is? Aside from the obvious that Attila's campaign mechanics are more feast or famine than WH, your replenishment is a lot lower so even if you can win individual battles you have to be careful to not get ground down over multiple fights and destroyed. In WH3 as long as your doomstack can consistently win you'll be at pretty much full strength every fight. In Attila you may have to concede ground to preserve an army's fighting strength. You have more pieces on the board but generally have to put more thought into where they go and what they do in relation to each other.
>>574875851if you're not in the way of the random hordes n huns raiding and pissing and razing all across central europe its chill, that's why fringe factions are the easiestthe jewish yemeni kingdoms whatever they were called is a cool run, they also look really cool, himyar
>>574875107Oh it's a multiplayer thing, got it.
IT'S SO GOOFY WHEN THIS HAPPENS lmao now i'll have to worry about new borders
>>574876378what the fuck? dignitaries can do that?
>>574873575In the new opened part of the map.
>>574876572Mein Fuhrer...
>>574876461yeah, it happened twice in one turn this time, also got some settlement from egypt between this and sometimes randomly bringing in 10k gold sending em is quite worth
>>574875481>Tell me about Polyphemus, why does he wear that mask?
Every faction should have one LL that works like an horde army desu
QUICKLYSWIFTLY
>>574879980Being able to let go of earthly attachments like defending territory is pretty comfy tbdesu.
When ?
>>574880218more like the total war 4x management mechanics are unfun and gay
>>574880613Never
>>574880613Post end times DLC.
>>574879980Name one lord from each race that should lead a horde faction.
>>574882192gimme a list of the races
>>574882192nta but Kurt Helborg could be that lord for empire. He could be Aislinn reskin.
>>574882192MarkusRepanseJackie Chan
Nakai is an annoying campaign on VH since you have to fight Dark Elves who zip through your teriotry and retake cities with black Arks
>>574882748The AI factions that accompany him and Aislinn need to be tweaked to not be so fucking pathetic. They don't have to be powerful and conquer shit on their own, but they need to be able to put up a fight and at least take their own cities back so you aren't expected to have horde armies all over the place for defense without the bonuses of a garrison or having to constantly backtrack.

>>574882192Funny story, the other day I was thinking CA could make a campaign for Josef Bugman that goes>Start as a horde.>Start out in the Mountains of Mourn, near that dwarven karak.>Early game more narrative style campaign where you run around the world looking for clues for the gobbo warlord that destroyed the brewery.>After completing whatever number of goals, you get quest battle to defeat him and settle the grudge.>Grudge settled, you are now allowed to settle, and whichever settlement you first pick gets a unique "Bugman's Brewery" landmark.
>>574835301A w40 gaming shop I went for an interview asked me to pick between two miniatures without even seeing them. No info. I picked one, never showed me either, told me I'm not the right one. Are all of you like this?
>>574887090Why don't you go ask /tg/? They're the ones who play tableslop.
>>574887090can you secondaries just fuck off already?how is that shitpost related to total war in any capacity? at least the lorefags pretend to care about the game when they post softcore alien girls

NEWS NEWS NEWS https://x.com/totalwar/status/2079960701297152428Tomorrow at 3:30 BST is a 40k streamThey will be discussing ranged combat, an english version of the chink battle and discussing 40k exclusive battle mechanics. They also mentioned "guests" which i'm assuming means some CC shills will also be present.
>>574888943I'll be busy with Grim Dawn expansion.
>>574888943soitek as per usual
>>574889143Based. For me it will be Berserker and Nightblade.
>>574873963Sanguinius could see the future but not as good as Kurze so his marines have a risk of tapping into that and seeing the end of the rope. Also he kinda is alive but not really and haunts Dante or something, I dunno I've never really read any of the Blood Angels books
>>574886821>Josef Bugman that goes>looking for clues for the gobbo warlord that destroyed the brewery.Git Guzzler?https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Git_Guzzler>Git Guzzler is huge for a Goblin, his mighty girth allowing him to push round his diminutive kin and even bully weak-willed Orcs to do his bidding. He is also a fierce and dirty fighter, prone to outbursts of needless anger, which he often takes out on his nearest unfortunate minion.>"The Git" as he is sometimes known, is miserable and prone to bouts of violent anger, brought on when he is drunk on his brews or sobering from their effects. Git Guzzler and any unit he leads are immune to panic.He would be a fun legendary hero for the greenskins imo.
WHY DO THEY CALL HIM DANIEL
>>574889542Yep, Git Guzzler. I actually couldn't remember for a moment if it was Git Guzzler or the Black Gobbo, but the Black Gobbo is Grombrindal's personal enemy not Bugman's.
>>574890394Because when Warhammer 3 hadn't released yet and they were showing off the Demon Prince mechanics and gear and had to pick a name for him on campaign start, they decided to jokingly call him Daniel and it's stuck.
>>574890394Who?
But why didn't they just call him Yuri?
>>574890980Because Daniel is funnier.
>>574890980Because that name is already taken. By me.
>>574888943>They also mentioned "guests"Probably that literally who that was at announcement https://www.youtube.com/live/d-BDeU3R5ic?si=W94euvU9h7-WARri&t=10250Also Henry Cavill sooner or later. He already said he plays Total War: Warhammer. He will show up for it for sure.
>>574891047
>>574890980We don't dead name here sis.Warhammer is for everyone
>>574871852Would you betray the Emprah for Tau cunny?
>>574891134I think him being le gamer man is mostly just an act. He is entering has been actor stage at this point so he needs something to keep his name in peoples mind.No I don't think he is a bad dude but I don't trust famous people in the slightest.
>>574891385Isn't the entire point of the empire that it fucking SUCKS to be a citizen? So with that in mind, is that even a question?
>>574835301Chaos boys, how we feelin?
>>574891470He's been a known le gamer man since the peak of his career dude. It isn't something he whipped up recently
>>574891470Yeah, I think so too. At best he is post 8th Edition convert. Regardless, I expect him in TW:40K sooner or later anyway.
>>574891543sometimes you endure hardship for the greater good faggot, the imperium is the only way humanity survives longterm in such a hostile universe, ever heard of sacrifice and duty? not everyone's a hedonist
>>574891679can you repost this without the awful vodkarunes
>>574891679I used the wrong version, fuck you Tzeentch
>>574891801>for the greater gooduhhhhhhhhh so t'au it is then
I'm taking over these dudes through diplomacy.... why the fuck would you give me such an important settlement
>>574891973this is the woman that's taken over 2 of em probably using some non-savoury means...
>>574891857Don't mind me, just slightly shuffling all of your image folder pics around so your muscle memory fucks you over.Also that one pic that's incredibly relevant but only for niche situations? I just moved it from it's usual folder to the family photos one.

Here be leaks:>Customization will have a fuckton of trinkets to add to your commanders, each faction is pretty fleshed out.>Updates will bring more customization options for different subfactions, like in space marine 2, but for more than marines>Chaos is the first DLC then Nids
hm...
>>574896103For a second I thought you edited random profile pics of people from facebook or something into the pic
>>574894929What about their appearance, are custom commanders gender locked?
>>574894929>Chaos is the first DLC then NidsI assume because in the real 40k game chaos daemons is 1 faction (not separated between the gods like in total war warhammer) I'm guessing in 40k total war they will also be 1 faction?
>>574894929>Customization will have a fuckton of trinkets to add to your commanders, each faction is pretty fleshed out.Based>Updates will bring more customization options for different subfactions, like in space marine 2, but for more than marinesAlso based>Chaos is the first DLC then NidsSlightly dissapointed at the wait for Drukhari but bretty gud
I wonder if CA is hesitant to bring in Necrons so early because Tomb Kings is extremely unpopular in total warhammer
>>574897239necrons are huge in modern fluff and these days they're first shown in every single 40k thing out there so i rly doubt thatthey'd release nids to capitalize on space mairne hype
>>574897394>they're first shown in every single 40k thing out thereYou mean after ultramarines?But anyway the point is that Tomb Kings and Necrons are clearly parallels in the 2 warhammers, and CA has already done one of those, arguably very unsuccessfully, and is probably one of the least popular factions in their other game at the moment.
>>574897239The problem with tabletop TK is that the models look complete ass because they can't be as thin as real skeletons should be without breakingAlso that TOW dragon thing looks dogshit compared to a warsphinx/necrosphinx, dunno why they thought the faction needed more bones
>>574897710>arguably very unsuccessfullyI don't think that's true, especially during WH2 days. And the most of all, that's irrelevant to Necrons. You can keep guessing though, they are not making the game for the fans of warhammer anyway.
>>574897710idk the last 2 trailers for examplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9V0bOB8sXQhttps://youtu.be/l0hD3KBwoiAGW really like necrons I think, tomb kings are unpopular cause they're an unupdated DLC faction, not cause the power fantasy is bad, they prob know that
Geomantic Web ... rework ... when ..?
>>574898068I'm sure it will be here very soon then, first or second dlc.
>>574898379I feel like Lizardmen are pretty far back in the "Desperately in need of rework" queue
>>574898827Who is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?
>>574898660Too early, 40k needs chaos and tyranids first.
Would CA actually do Imperial Agents as an actual full faction or would they just add agent units to other factions?
>>574897239It's because they're in dow4>but there are space marines and orks!Yes they're the poster factions for 11e and armegeddon they get a free pass. The two strategy games steered clear of each other for the last 2 launch factions
why are sisters of battle so strong able to melee necrons and chaos when they're women? power armor boosts strength?
>>574899094No please delay Tyranids, I want my bugs to be part of the later and therefore better DLC"Game 2" kind of timescale at least
>>574899293If anything it should hinder their strength I believe(?)They don't have the extra organ that astartes have that make it so they can interface with the armor subconsciously.
>>574842748>Out you'll fizzle>Against ol' el drizzle
>>574899047NTA but I'd say Demons of Chaos are absolute number 1. Number 2 would be Bretonnia, probably. And number 3 Vampire Counts.Then Vampire Coast.Then Tomb Kings.And THEN... it'd be a match up between Dark Elves and Lizardmen.Kind of a shame because I've been wanting to do a Mazdamundi campaign for a while, but he in particular really is one of the most neglected campaigns in the game. Nothing about him really screams "The single best spellcaster in the setting".
>>574899621vampire counts are already getting one next month
>>574837383True
>>574899764Hopefully together with Coast and TKs, and then we can strike out a lot of those from the list and get closer to giving Mazdamundi the campaign he deserves!
>>574899293Warhammer is a feminist setting, women can do anything men do and do it better cope and seethe chuddies
>>574899172Also, my guess is that if it's a faction in tabletop, CA will want to bring it as a faction in here because faction DLC = free money. So they'll want them all.
>>574899172If Imperial Agents can make it through 11th Edition, then it's golden, pretty much. They have a codex and they work as a standalone faction. They are just a little neglected by GW, but you can say that about a lot of factions>>574899316I mean, after 3 warhammer games maybe it won't be so bad. Tyranids are perfect fodder to kill and they should be sweet to play.
>>574899621I agree with the list but swap Bretonnia and DoCBretonnia barely feels like a WH2 faction, let alone a WH3 faction
>>574900023idk in this clip a seraphine sister of battle is literally fighting a chaos warrior in melee https://youtu.be/wTrsEriXOc4?t=30power armor n allthey're hot + their aesthethics are cool so I don't mind it but its a bit girlboss-y...
>>574900340very nifty chart, thanks
>>574899764>next monthAnon ... LoET will be playable at Gamescon (end of august), do not expect it to be released before.

>>574898827Lizardmen have always been neglected. Remember that it took 18 months into TWW2 to have more than 2 LL and then 2 years after Nakai to get Oxyotl.When Lizardmen get updated, it'll be when the game gets future'd
Blood Axes regularly deal with the Imperium in exchange for teef, both sides turn against one another at the drop of a hatThere are instances in M39-M42 where Necrons actively helped random Spess Mehreen chapters, Deathwatch, AdMech, the Inquisition and Gay Knights; usually against Tyranids and ChaosniggersEldar and Imperium have a love-hate relationship and have been convenient allies way before the Emprah showed up, when the Emprah was active and after he became a corpse false god and even moreso with Lord Commander Blueberry being in charge again. The half human-half Eldar character was retconned to just be an Eldar Farseer ambassador to the Imperium and resides in the Imperial Palace and is hated by everyone there but Lord BlueberryOnly one instance where regular Spess Mehreens "allied" with Chaos Spess Mehreens, it was during the War of the Beast where Imperial Fists reluctantly allied with Iron Warriors, Black Legion and other Chaosniggers against 3 Krorks and a tide of Orks; Chaosniggers immediately left after the battle and Imperial Fists didn't fire nor pursue them Tau and the Imperium are like the little brother version of the Eldar-Imperium relationship, even when the Tau killed the Raven Guard chapter master they were forced to team up against Chaosniggers and Tyranids and the Imperium left after
jesus christ 11 600 enemieshere I go ig
ignore the redditors spewing lore he saw in a youtube videoin real warhammer lore the Eldar are actually made to carry half human babies in their wombs, they often do this by kidnapping guardsmen and having non stop sex with them
>>574903483Now this is the kind of fetish lore I can get behind, if you know what I mean
>>574903483now we're talkin
>>574903483>Implying it is not human wombs carrying half-eldar babies
best mods to play with M2EX?
>>574903483There was only one half-eldar in the lore and he was born from human woman's womb while his eldar dad went to get a pack of cigarettes and never came back
>>574904753I have a very small sample size but I feel like Dark Aeldar are not very popular. At least not in the actual game. I haven't faced anyone playing them yet.
I bought Rogue Trader on the steam sale and it's completely obliterating any mystique the drooki ever had. Every time these faggots show up they talk a leftist meme's worth of shit, then as soon as I can actually play Cassia and Argenta kill 75% of them before they can even move
>>574906020Not being able to romance Argenta is the greatest tragedy is gaming history
>>574904943isn't chainmail supposed to be tightly bout around the neck instead of hanging loosely like that?
>>574900340
>>574903563not sure I know what you mean, please elaborate
>>574906738>Wood Elves>Empire D>Bretonnians T
>>574907003So they like Empire Dick and Bretonnia Titties?
>>574906020Eldar are the trashiest Elves in fiction, somehow even worse than Dragon Age Elves and those elves fucking suckthe absolute worse: the elf girl romance option dominates virtually every other RPG ever but there's a reason why in the warhammer rpg game a three eyed mutant princess and a goth girl from the cult of cutting yourself are far more popular
>>574907451I think Yrliet is cute in her autistic way
>>574904943vanilla beyond is great if u want a vanilla+ experience, otherwise theres tons of good med2 mods in many settings
What are the 40k equivalents of the Vampire Counts?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpK4fcFNKbMcrazy how this is better than any official GW trailerI especially like the small details like 2-stage triggers for bolters and how space marines can 1-hand bolters etc with no problem cause why would some recoil affect em kek
>10 YEARS ON THIS FUCKING BEACH
>>574906571I'm still going through Rogue Trader, I'm a little bit curious how is a druhkari going to join the band later on, considering we have a sororita and a fucking inquisitor.No I don't want you to answer.
>>574907969Genestealer cults.
>>574908269oh that part the guy was using a pistol bolterbut still>>574906571>>574908797don't spoil.... shame you can't romance the SoB on a crpg tho
>>574907003
>>574908797I dropped it about half way through due to a bug at the time (got it on release, RIP me), apparently everything is mostly fixed so I need to reinstallI had just got to the Drukhari part of the game, so he wasn't a part of my party yetI have heard he is an interesting romance option
>>574909124I can't fucking wait for dark heresy the setting is 10x more interesting to me than being a sort of privateer.
>>574909124>he is an interesting romance option
>>574908716>Menelaus picks the hottest woman in the world>gets cucked>marriage starts 10 year long war>Odysseus picks the nerdy girl>she remains loyal for 20 years when he was lost sailing around and having sex with goddessesPenelope best girl
>>574909492I can only imagine what "dating" a Drukhari would be like, but I can almost guarantee it would be interesting
>>574909875nigga you're gay
>>574909927feel a little twitch in your shorts anon? Its OK, its the current year!
>>574902805NOOO leave me alone
>>574910176is this the egypt one?
>>574910176
>>574910374wdym? it's against lustani and some celtic federation in iberia 11 600 enemies on that battle, idk if i can manage, should have fort cheesed it prob
>>574910496>>574910176actually legions n corners ftw
>>574897009I wouldn't expect drukhari any time soon before their tabletop refresh.
>>574910998gg
>>574911072CA might be looking into beyond 40k fans and into the general video game public though. Total War Warhammer got a LOT of people in who weren't warhammer fantasy fans. CA certainly is looking to do the same with 40k.And the general video game public does like Dark Elves.
>>574911212i kinda like the character aspect even tho its tacked on cause that battle was father and son, marcus brutus is the son of this guy, junius brutus, the other general in the battle, which is 65 and still leading armies
>>574908716Don't worry little guy, it's just another 10 until you get to go home ;)
>>574911539my stupid chud son's trait in marriage vs his wife's kek
>>574911439The difference is that GW absolutely will use total war as a marketing platform for minis, fantasy had the benefit of being (at the time) an ended setting and thus CA got to use a lot of shit freelyDo you think it wasnt a coincidence that ind and nippon wont be released right when TOW is becoming its thing?
>>574911439Anon, all it took for GW to start reining in CA in fantasy was to start releasing fantasy minis againThey absolutely will dictate what will be shilled by CA when it comes to 40k
>>574907451>warhammer>romance with alienhaha, suck it
>>574911539NOOOOO2 turns after i post thisthe younger one marcus diedhis 67 yo father will have to bury himfuck
>>574912487>GW to start reining in CA in fantasyWhat happened what did they do?
>>574912170>>574912487GW is also interested in getting people who aren't 40k fans into the game because that's a new income of fresh customers.
>>574863823ah, that makes sense.
>>574913103GW product is minis, and it has more than proven, time and time again, that they only care about mini sales, the games, the books, the lore, its all there to give people a reason to buy minisSo yeah, if holding back drukhari means more mini sales for them in the future, they will absolutely, 100% do it.You vastly overstimate GW business strategy
>>574913729what's their plan against 3d printing?
it's so kino how literally every faction's unit can be usurped and buckbroken by rome into serving in their style and army it makes it a very unique pokemon type faction that can get unique dudes from every single major region u conquer, so cool
>>574914271lawyers. lawmakers are trying to make 3d printers always online so they can scan you in case you are 3d printing guns. it's only to keep the children safe and not the profit of those cunts
>>574912170TWWH really was the lightning in a bottle. Before CA decided to port their games to consoles, and after GW stopped caring about the setting.
>>574915047I think 40k being on consoles might be better for me cuz my PC is getting a little old. It can run warhammer 3 fine but I'm a bit worried about 40k.
>Thread is filled with 40K convo and next to nothing fantasy relatedFantasy sisters... we got to cocky
>>574915047kekd @ this post so hardTWWH is an absolute mess and nightmare development and code wise because of the 3 model game bullshit, not just to implement anything new but to fix the most simple of things and even improve its lackluster animations or anything, and the dlcs just scare new players away immediately, you're blinded by your rose-tinted glasses, 40K being ported to consoles won't make it more of a technical mess than WH3
>>574915262yeah the fantasy trilogy was a pile of spaghetti code held together by hopes and prayers
>>574914694>>574914271I mean even in a timeline in which 3dprinters have to be online to work, I'm sure people would jailbreak them anyway. You can't really stop people from 3d printing.There are also people who play 40k on tabletop simulator. Quite a lot of them in fact, there's a huge community. Pic rel (not mine it's from google). GW has been trying to go after it and shut it down, obviously, and failing.
>>574915463people don't even realize just how much WH3 is held back by the ancient engine + the 3 game nightmare, so many things can't be implemented as much as CA want them to be, 100+ ideas prob got shot in the crib before they even came up 40K being on a new engine alone sounds like a godsend
>>574915512yeah it's retarded, but at least one company already tried to implement it and caused a huge shitstorm. i hope they all get raped and murdered by a pack of ungors
ZAYM
>>574915640>new engine*made for console
>>574915867yes... and? 5 gen consoles are just PCs, same CPU architecture, if anything it might force em to optimize more, it all depends on the skill of CA programmers (kek)
>>574916157CA will need to make sure the game runs on 10GB Ram, thanks to Series S. Will definitely need to make cuts in order to accommodate that.Not to mention the high likelihood of having a UI that's made to be used with a controller (They aren't making separate UIs)
>>574916474we'll see about that, you underestimate how shitty warscape is
>>574915834chuds threw such a tantrum when TCAL added female generals to barbarian factions they had to put out PR posts https://x.com/totalwar/status/1044548704777252864then coomchads turn around and add female generals to factions that don't even get female generals in vanillahilarious
>>574915834SAVE US GRACE
>>574915834let's play a little game /twg/Kill Kill Fuck Marry
>>574917268fuck romana, marry barbara, kill helena and africa
>>574917268I love titty armor as much as the next guy but the roman and eastern boob slots should be a bit smaller...
>>574917268>Hellenic + Egypt
>>574907451>Eldar are the trashiest Elves in fiction,They are the best, nothing else comes close
NO MORE RUNNING>>574917268purely based off the thumbs marry rome fuck all the other onesif i have to kill it'd be eastern... she's just too plain even tho there's 10/10 mena women out there
>>574917917yes, and?
>>574917268Greek wifeMENA sex
>>574911072According to leaks Deldar are supposed to get first wave of expansion/refresh as one of the first factions in 11th Edition. It was meant to be Orks/Marines and then Admech and Deldar.This would then leave them with at best pity character/kill team release until 12th, where they have a huge chance of becoming main villains
>>574916474Xbox? Kek! It is being designed to be portable to tablets and phones like their older games have been. Controls too.
>>574911072>>574918715And yeah, it seems that CA uniquely has access to GW prerelease schedule and their not yet released models. At least to some level as we can see with Kislev, Cathay, Yarrick and Nazdreg. Ork Trukk seems to be old thoughIt does make it likely that Deldar could be one of the first DLC factions if they are really hellbent on crossmarketing then
>>574894929The pharaoh special skins for your lords always felt like a silly move for that but very apropos for warhammer. Even if mods exist you wouldn't be able to bring them into multiplayer. Like some romanesque smurf visual DLC is natural. Good to hear for chaos though.>>574917268>When they just group the maghreb in the same generic eastern looksadge
I autoresolve 99% of my battles. Maybe I should move up from normal/normal...
my income dropped by like 15 fucking thousand went I went up in imperium lvl in DEIholy shithow tf do u counteract this, just stack as many generals as u can with the - maintanence strat like that anon said?
>>574908716>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO FUCK A GODDESS FOR SEVEN YEARS? ZEUUUUUS SAVE MEEEE
>>574919490>he doesn't fight 99% of his battles manually
>>574919828i think the archives/library building also decreases maintanence, but I only have so many fuckin building slots man, I guess I should start putting it in any new capital I conquer
>>574917553it's too muchthe mod author knows that boobs can be compressed, right?
Idk if it's bad luck or they nerfed HE campaigns since the last time I played them, but I'm playing the most ball breaking eltharion campaign right now. Abandoned the badlands right away because it's a completely retarded start position and easily beat off the shitty starting orcs on ulthuan. Everything was looking fine so I went across the sea and slapped groms shit. This is where things get crazy. Nkari took the useless fucks north of yvresse, noctilis took all of tyrions shit while he was busy spit roasting saphery with alarielle and now those gay pirates have 11 fuckin settlements on turn 17 which is almost impossible. Not only that but ikit decided to go to war with me too. I've been fighting off everyone and winning crazy victories but it's brutal. Of course I have no help everyone just sits in their fuckin settlements waiting to die. I've never seen such a complete cluster fuck of a campaign. Playing on VH/VH btw. Might just play someone else because high elves aren't what they used to be.
>>574914271probably the valve method of making a product much better than can be printed, because 3d print still cant get some the detailing correct with how intricate their new models get, and normal people arent going to go out and buy a $500 printer, run that sucker for 50+ hours, just to play some tabletop, there has to be some ancillary purpose or hobby theyre using that for, which isnt most people; most people will just buy the thing outright because its more convenient, especially since theyre making the game smllaer in scale, which lessen the need for more modelsthe only real thing you could be complaining about is the sheer amount of extra gubbins to necessary parts, if they really wanted to kill 3d printers, they would sell the necessary parts, kinda like what forge world did for the longest time
>>574914271The same plan against pirates, proxies and fake cardsYou don't give a fuck
>>574923903They definitely do give a lot of fucks. They're constantly trying to stop them.
>>574921710>>574923903but still someone with a 500$ printer can in fact make models and sell them, illegally even, spread word by mouth, this is rly doable and a risk for them in savvy nerd communities, if it was a more normie oriented hobby yeah it wouldn't be a big issue, majorkill sells 3rd printed minis I think and they look fine, ofc licensed or some shit, but yeah I dunno, if I was them I would diversify and stop caring only about the plastic minis, and it seems to me they're doing exactly that with all these big 40k properties popping up lately like the games
>>574915512I'm pretty sure GW took down the tabletop simulator module.
>>574924567For like a day and then it went back up.
Perhaps we were too harsh on him... He cheesed millions
>>574924708bald
>>574918261>Hellenic + Hellenic
rogue trader 40k is pretty much baldurs gate right? turn based dndshit but 40k?
>>574925112Yeah its a CRPG, the system is based on the Rogue Trader RP system, not DND so it takes some time figuring out
>>574918560>we wuz
>>574924708Don't worry, I've got his back.
>>574925496what the fuck is her problem? there's vamp counts in 40k?
>>574925943That's Cassia, Abhuman Navigator/Anime fish princess
>>574926221the existence of these guys is weird cause there can just be anything in 40k and say its some mutation literally anythingand this is the first time I'm seeing a vampire bitch
>>574926334shes not a vampire, shes a navigatorpicrel is the closest thing to a vampire you get
>>574926334Most of the literally anythings are hunted down and purged as random unstable mutants. Stable mutations like Ogryns have been assimilated as basically a different subrace of humans at this point.
>>574926221>>574926464welp looks that wayregardless rogue trader with DLC is like 15-20$ on key sites I'll buy it these days perhaps, or next month, I fucking suck at crpgs I literally got bricked in baldurs gate by having my guys be underlvl hopefully this one is a bit more forgiving to crpg noobs
>>574926654I think its a pretty good game and has some really cool charactersI've also learned a lot of about the lore playing the game
>>574924385thats just illegal, if you print something for personal use, you can claim fair use, but the moment you start making money, it because criminal and theyre well within their rights to shut it down
>>574926780can u have a guardsman chad in ur party and outfit him with kasrkin shit?
>>574926976There's your turbo bro Abelard... he's an officer in the Imperial NavyYou also encounter the Guard everywhere
>>574924958>>574925723
>>574927220but I meant to have in your party for like the combatan avg generic guard dude with a lasgun and an outfit like pic relig im askin too much tho the cast looks cool
>>574926654it's a very good game, pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it (which can take a bit, it's kinda overwhelming imo)the dlc's add a LOT to the game so it's best to play them with the dlc instead of the base game alone, DLC4 should hopefully be coming soonThe game is like 200 hours - and the way the DLC works in this game is that it's scattered through out the main story from start to finish instead of it's own little hub like other types of dlc'sProbably one of my favorite games, such a good experience>>574927576nah you're the rogue trader, you don't surround yourself with mooks
>>574907969Aesthetically obviously Night Lords, at least at a glance. Their world, their armor, thematic, etc.But obviously when you start to dive into the lore they don't really have much to do with Vampire Counts they are basically a subgroup of "chaos warriors" if you want to draw a parallel with fantasy.
>>574927667>nah you're the rogue trader, you don't surround yourself with mooksthat's the prob, I like the mooks I'd prefer to be some comissar or imp guard than a rogue trader, but regardless its a very good vehicle to explore the galaxy with ik that i'll check ito ut these days
>>574907969Necrons
Tomb Kings. What the fuck.
can anyone explain to me how to play Aislinn? I am too retarded for LL with so many mechanics
>>574928561wish they had decent ranged and melee infantry optionsI love the aesthetic but they're far too reliant on monster mashing and that isn't a very fun playstyle
>>574928591only take provincial capitals that have ports and give the rest awaythe dragonship underway thing onto land is real stronk
>game started crashing when I scroll over to Greasus' landsSo fat he's causing a memory leak

>>574928917my whole laptop shut down yesterday when I was playing as the tiger lady and tried to attack Greasus....
>>574926621If two human derived creatures can breed and create another creature like themselves and they don't seem chaosy they're an abhuman and get to live. There's actually a lot of abhuman races like this in the imperium.If two human derived creatures just create a creature with random physical traits they're mutants and they get purged.

Will we have to do to Total War 40,000 what /coopg/ did to Helldivers?
>>574934101No, because apart from 10 screeching autists, most people who like fantasy don't mind or like 40k.And as much as people here pretend to ignore this fact, TWW is a 10 year old game and many people are already saturated from it
>>574935112>10 screeching autistsyou're being generous, there are two, MAYBE three tops

>>574935653Can't wait to see what he will do with 40k specially since he probably pestered CA for a decade begging actual MP tools

Why does every game company nowadays preface clearly intended for public display footage with shit like "PRE-ALPHA FOOTAGE" and why do people buy it? Dawn of War 4 for instance was supposedly releasing "alpha footage from an older build" some 4 months before release. Total Warhammer 40k is talking about this footage being pre-alpha, and CA has been doing it since at least Warhammer 3. Do people really buy that shit? Was saying "beta footage" not enough so now they're apparently releasing footage of games before they're even alpha rather than just doing cinematic trailers?
>>574950963I don't know. Hope this helps.
>>574950963Gives copers and defenders an out when people point out stuff that looks like a downgrade, eg. the unit card stat sheet losing a lot of detail in favour of generic iconsAlso probably gives them a legal defence if any downgrades happen between the footage and the release of the game, which used to happen a lot for games graphically in the 2010s
>>574948540
>>574952131These are way better than stat cards. The lil firepower is all that's needed. Nobody sits there calculating hit chances of MA vs MD and dmg vs Armor. We run the units into each other and see what wins. Nobody gives a fuck about Bloodletter stats. We just know they are the best infantry in the game from experience. Their stats are utterly useless.

i was so cocky thinking I could take gaul with only 2 armies kekbarely survived, now 3 more are on the way...+ gotta ferry troops for these guys
>>574860949I'd say he looks like a 16 year old Norscan, so it checks out.
>>574965304RoRit's underrated
>>574970726nta but once I learn DEI with this grand campaign I might give it a try, but idkthat campaign is hard as fuck even on vanilla
some things about this mod are sillylike how am I the one taking attrition during a siege? never have I seen this logic
>>574971351Isn't that in vanilla Rome 2?
>>574971351siege camps were notoriously unhealthy places
>>574971441oh, maybe, haven't played a vanilla campaign in a bit >>574971486fortification camps don't give any attirtion tho they give the opposite, this is just camping outside their walls? I guess you can reason at is as the enemy fighting back beyond the walls
>>574933337
>>574933337>>574971904Given the pre-Arab conquest levantine people, most accurate would be lighter skin + brown hair, any eye color works
>>574971756>oh, maybe, haven't played a vanilla campaign in a bitI mean, I could be wrong but I'm certain there's at least one vanilla TW game where both sides take attrition in sieges
every point in this skillboosts my income by like, 1000 lmaoso the strat with DEI is to make as many generals as possible just to get this - maintanence skill? you end up making way more money than their upkeep just because of the skill
>>574952131I hate modern tw unit cards with all its little numbers so you can min max whatever faces whatSo fuck it, I rathee have abstract info
oops I got the wrong height siege towers

News today in 2 and a half hoursWill we finally see Eldar?
>just figured out you have negative traits if you support only the ice court or orthodoxy
>>574976375Yeah, you're supposed to balance between the two with little support differences, and confederate only after you get all the bonuses
>>574976351no
>>574976351It is explicitly just the guard v ork battle we saw a week or so ago but this time uncut and dubbed over by bongs
>>574976351nigga what? it'll be the imp guard vs orc battle again but with actual gameplay shown
>>574976351Well they said todays stream is all about Ranged combat so I doubt they'll go into faction specifics, moreso on how ranged combat will work when compared to Fantasy, you might get a clip of some eldar bikes doing a drive-by or something but no Eldar specifics i'd imagine, probably more Guard as they're clearly the most complete race right now and the one most focused on missiles.
>>574976530They will apparently also do a deep dive in ranged combat and whatnot
>>574977104Cute
>>574976351Maybe one (uno)(1) concept art (in the background) at best.
>>574976653I wouldn't expect them to do anything extra. They'll use the guard v ork battle to talk about ranged combat
should I even bother building recruitment buildings as vampire counts or get everything from raise dead?
What's the best pile of violence faction?
>>574977956SKULLS FOR THE
>>574977956Khorne, specifically Arbaal
How likely are we getting an Reign of Chaos/Vortex for 40k?
>>574976351>Eldar>he does not knowanon are you tourist?
>>574978536They literally said there would be narrative campaigns
>>574978536Unlikely. I think CA has finally admitted that people just want a sandbox to smash their army men together in
>>574978536Do you mean like a campaign, or a smaller version of the map?Because I'm pretty sure they're planning on essentially doing multiple pseudo-campaigns dedicated to specific war fronts and/or sectorsMight be completely wrong though, so don't quote me on that
>>574976351Get ready for the vampire count treatment bitch
>>574976351>News today in 2 and a half hoursliar
>>574978986>he isn't a waitCHADhttps://www.youtube.com/live/gplb9CQy9lk?is=lGANQmczQHQAfL44
>>574978536If there's an Armageddon narrative campaign without the Steel Legion I'm going to have a fucking stroke.
It's baffling seeing people speculate about things that are already confirmed
>>574979175Better head to the hospital
>>574979175They didn't even bring steel legion back for armageddon on the tabletop bro. It'll be a bit before they come as a dlc unit
So since we confirmed that eldar will be treated like vamp counts, IG the empire and Orkz will be Greenskins obviouslyThis means marines will be dwarfs
>>574979267>>574979361How the fuck can they even justify Armageddon with Cadians? It makes no fucking sense.
>>574979175Unless they make an announcement for the steel legion together with tabletop, I wouldn't expect it.
>>574979495GW justification for anything is minisSteel legion dont have new minis, hence nothing to sell, if there is nothing to sell, you dont shill itTotal war players are about to learn about games workshop scummy practices first hand now that total war became a subsidiary of games workshop apparently
>Exodites DLC is more likely than Steel Legionohnonono
>>574979507Well I guess I better cross my fingers and start praying.>>574979653I still don't understand why they're pussyfooting around with Steel Legion minis. They signed off on the classic M38 Paratrooper helmet & coat look for Darktide. What the fuck are they taking so long for?
>>574979653They did show off some steel legion concept art and say they are coming at some point in this edition
>>574980116>TheyI mean GW who has all but confirmed new minis are coming, in case that wasn't clear. The baffling part is that they only did it in response to people asking why they weren't front and center in the armageddon edition suggesting that they didn't initially plan to bring them back at all
>>574979495Cadians were always there, alongside Krieg and many other factions.1st War for Armageddon wasn't even against Orks
>>574979175>Return to Armageddon trailer features Cadians and Krieg, but no Steel Legionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABRD914UkGkRIP anon, we'll be sure to act FAST
>>574981015>1st War for Armageddon wasn't even against OrksShit this new one isn't even solely an Ork problem either. Khorne daemons have been shitting up Armageddon roughly since the Great Rift opened u-oh fuck...they're going to bundle Khorne Daemons with Steel Legion aren't they?
>>574979805>I still don't understand why they're pussyfooting around with Steel Legion minis. They signed off on the classic M38 Paratrooper helmet & coat look for Darktide. What the fuck are they taking so long for?GW makes actual physicals objects, this is completely different from video games which are just non physical copies of information.They have trouble manufacturing minis for factions they already have. Many are constantly out of stock notably Deldar and Votann. There is no point in wasting production on two similar IG subfaction. Krieg, Cadia and Catachan have very distinct looks and are sensible to create. Making 2nd chud regiment, but with shorter coats and a bit different mask is retarded waste of effort. Kreig cucked Steel Legion out of existence
>TableSlopyikes
>>574981262Bro they spent production on a fucking Sd.Kfz. 251. They absolutely want the chud money.
>>574981338You'd better start caring about it because Games Workshop has CA by the balls now.
>>574981415yeah, and they don't need 4th slightly different regiment for that
>>574981415>Sd.Kfz. 251That's quite clearly more inspired by the M3 half-track, same way that new armoured car is a Saladin.
>>574981538And yet we get this
>>574981619>more inspired by the M3 half-trackIt's a clusterfuck of both, mostly so they can copyright it.
>>574981654>And yet we get this2-3 years from now as a kill team maybe, after Catachans are made already
>>574981758>as a kill team maybeThat thought made me legitimately angry and I don't even blame you for it.
I really like lolis. Why don't CA add lolis to the game
Childhood is calling TWW3 the best TW game ever madeAdulthood is realizing Pharaoh Dynasties mogged it in every conceivable way from a mechanical standpoint
>>574983218literally who is supposed to mog WH3?Anyway, time for a new Skarbrand campaign
>>574982976a mysterylore accurate too
Which greenskin LLs are most fun to play?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gplb9CQy9lkAlready 1,550 people waiting CA will make bank with this game. Hope they don't forget fantasy chuds exists onece they realse it.
>>574981415glad the imperial guard finally got a proper half-tracknext update they should give them some kind of meme tankette, just the shittiest CV33 ripoff the Imperium's tax payer can buyhopefully with a flamer version as well, just a shitty little tank dragging around a fuel two-wheeled trailerif it's good enough for Mussolini it's good enough for Lord Solar Leontus
>>574984597I will be playing Grim Dawn DLC in the midst :3
>>574984691same
>>574984597we are waiting for legends reaction
>>574983352I will never play khorne because it just looks too boring. same goes for slaanesh
>>574985070How about you stop being a pathetic bitch and just try it? Doesn't cost money, is base game.
>>574897239>Tomb Kings is extremely unpopular in total warhammersource? besides your ass.
>>574984691>>574984778Only minutes left bros...
>>574967795Drawbacks could be the inquisition knocking on your door. Or I guess if its widespread use it could eventually get chaos'd.

>>574985184Funny how nobody thought that was bullshit until like 50 hours later you showed up. Maybe he was on to something.
>>574986006don't care, gimme wh3 news
I just want the End Times DLC with a Bretonnia rework and Volkmar update. Is that too much to ask???
>>574985970still broke unlike Catachan, Mordian, Tallarn and a hundred other places attacked by ChaosGaydia was just weak
>>574986181Wait your turn, cucky
>>574985184Nta but I second that tks are ass.>>574985391>Drawbacks could be the inquisition knocking on your doorSo the Tau need to nerf their AI because the imperium is stupid and superstitious? Is that what I'm getting here? Because this sounds like the same rhetoric that "grimdarkified" Bretonnia >ChaosNigga chaos corrupts and infects everything
Are they dropping wh3 support after 40k is out?
>>574986247Are all those planets almost inside the eye of terror? If not then it seems unfair to compare.
>>574986334they say they won't but it's just a matter of time
how do I stop rage quiting after enemy suddenly declares war and raze my city in the same turn?
>>574986334Not just that. They're going to forcibly uninstall the game from every device on the planet and trying to reinstall it on steam will just redirect you to the TW40k store page
>>574986334>No more outdated modsA man can dream
>>574986552stop seeing cities as something worth a shit. Cities are worthless.
I can't wait to conquer holy terra as orks and make it "oly terror"
>>574986572wtf!
>>574986334they dropped wh3 support 3 seconds after wh3 launch u dumb bitch
>>574986886they already said the major capitals will be immune
>>574986272Well it helps if I read the full thing I didnt see we were talking about tau.On that note though, the tau apparently have "small souls" so they are not noticed as much by chaos. I dont know how AI chaos attraction works exactly though I would imagine they attract more than tau because everything does.
total war warhammer 40k more like total war bad
>>574987173trvke
>>574986169most people just ignored the bait
>>574986951Immune from evetything?
>>574987472Yes. They said you will not be able to conquer any capital of any race. All capitals can not be attacked or taken.
>>574987472The galactic map might not even include them
>>574986334yes if dlcs don't sell. aislinn and others flopped quite hard.
>>574987462Dont think its bait I do see them as pretty unpopular I think most people do too. Usually the justification is that theyve just been a bit abandoned.
OINK OINK OINK
>>574979654Exodites hype! hope their DLC doesnt get grim/grave'd like the fantasy wood elves did
HERE WE GO LADSHEAR THE OSTALREADY BETTER THAN BEDDOW
>>574987618That was me sorry I use creamapi for dlcs and will do the same with 40k.
>>574986334Well, how much more can you even milk itThey are deep into fanfiction tier at this point
hahahah tca thought 40k fags actually play 40k gamescongrats on those 250 new players!
>>574987682In a game where the AI cheats force you to spam as many armies of possible to constantly guard territory a continent away from the frontline, playing a faction with army caps is pretty unappealing
GuysIm shaking
godrak spotted
I AM LUTHOR HARKON
>>574987607Wtf so what are you even playing for if you cant dominate the map?

>>574987607>>574987610>>574986951That can't be right because that would make the game cringe and gay and I don't buy cringe and gay games and I want to buy tw40k.So yeah I get to conquer holy terra
>>574987965>>574987682There are like 20 different reasons 20 different people will give you. But all 20 will probably agree they are unpopular.
Pedro looks like Wiz
dude waited for 3 chuds talking
Where is Grace?
>>574988230This game is going to be overly-scripted narrative bullshit until they add an actual sandbox map five years from now.
>>574986757but my recruit buildings and economy shit are there
>>574988254>>574987682nah, its just 4chan, a place known for their shit taste. TK are more popular than most other factions in TOW.
the UI looks fine to me?
>AnnihilationSo normal battle from TWs is just one game mode
>>574988050From the very start they made clear this is not a map painting game. That's not possible in 40k. >>574988230No, u can't. It's either not there or invincible.
guys guys heres a tankheres a bigger tankcattle reddit slop from the makers of nuln ironsides

FEMALE VOICES OH NO NO NO
God damn this is going to sell billions
millions, even
why does that guy keep laughing at himself?
looks like tanks can reverse
Calling it now, you'll only have one army, hence the more in-depth unit customisation.
its dow without the soullooks like something a chinese AI would create
>>574986198>with a Bretonnia rework>and Volkmar updateBased.
>guardsmen don't shoot laserscringing
>it looks good and well polished alreadyDoombros…I don’t want to be a 40kfag
you can actually see how braindead AI is. Probably worst AI in all TW games lol
>>574989197They just confirmed that the reserves come from surrounding armies and your fleet, so clearly you'll have more than one army
>>574989342yeah there's no lasers going off
I can't believe how limp and lifeless the gunfire looks and sounds
>>574988450Anon... You might want to sit down for this.
>>574989342better get used to itno matter how often people seethe in comments or social media, the red beams aren't coming back
>>574989620i will never stop whininghopefully the game is moddable so we can fix it
>>574989410>t. person who has never played a TW game
The orks broke before the guard did
>theres damaged units now can you zoom it in?>zooms in>theres no damage
looks like shit
>>574989673Literally just change the projectile model. Should be simple.
>>574989796oh but its because its the imperial guard, if they get damaged they just die>didnt even zoom in on ogryns who are meant to be meatshieldss-shut up
>>574989673Don't see the point in whining when it will not lead to anything, but do as you pleaseRemember to tell people the change was done because evil GW wants to punish (you) for liking the red beams
I like it when the AI is brain dead so that I can use my human brain to outplay the AI lack of brain, but it's made fair by the AI having a lot more units.
Wholesome ¨(the guy complained about lack of racial diversity among IG troops)
god the kasrkin look good
>>574989410Are you esl? They literally said these are 2 people playing each other on pcs behind the camera. Theres no ai there. And they werent playing to win they were playing to show stuff.
>*click Guard Leman Russ tank*
>>574989960This is generally what most people want, people that think they want an AI that uses more complicated strats are (usually) just wrong.
Yeah, not feeling it. Effects looks like dogshit, sounds non-existent, units all feel sluggish, nothing gives back crunchy feedback of TOTAL WAR being waged, everything got limp dick energy.Might as well give units noodle poles and make them do pillow fight.
>>574990151i agree but u sound like a faggotfuck you faggot
>>574990151It's alpha bro
>unit cards doomers already btfodoomsissies can't stop losing with this game
>>574988635So what are you doing? What are you going for when you play this game then?
>>574990151the game volume was extremely low to be fair
why do they have a space marine giving all the advisor battlefield announcements?
>>574990196Kill yourself.
>>574990089i dont mind it getting complicated if its tau, eldar, tzeentch warbands or admech, but im also in favor of dumb ai if its feral orks and nids that rely on sheer numbersunfortunately CA cant even make either of these logics work properly
>>574990293>.faggot alert
>>574990031Are you retarded? You can see how are units get stuck and move wrong
I liked the part where Baneblade kept spinning around and rushing into the melee range.I love CA pathing and unit AI.
>>574990151Gayest post ITT so far
we are all hybrid units down here
>>574990252Marines are smarter and stronger so naturally they give orders to guard peasants
>>574990303I've wanted AI profiles for different factions for a long time.Greenskins should be retards charging straight ahead. Dwarfs should box up and try to stay in formation. Skaven should swarm. Etc. Today it feels like i'm always fighting the same enemy: "The AI". It's always the same AI. Every faction behaves the same.
>>574990461Thats not ai. Holy fuck.
>>574990492>t.faggot
if they make the ai smart how a dumb bitch like u would beat it?
>>574990217Play another Skarbrand campaign in WH3, duh.
>half the general calling the ai bad for playing like shit when its 2 people playing
>people want to see Guardsmen shooting!>zooms in>guardsmen just stand and do nothingHoly shit, my fucking sides.
>game tracks individual magazine status of each guardsmanJust how shit is this going to run?
I've never seen a total war battle look and sound so tame and it's meant to be 40K
>mod red lasers back in>GW sues you
>>574990987they updated the engine, don't worry about it.
>>574991154Yeah you have posted this three times now and got no bites, no one cares
>>574991269I just got here, sorry I didn't read the thread
>>574990204>charge defence>1So they will just fold if a group of hormagaunts just looks at them menacingly?
>>574991154There is clearly (for now) no music for the battle.
Watching that Baneblade face the wrong way for about half of the battle really hurt my soul.
>>574991415>bioengineered killing machines perfected over who knows how many billions of years>vs human dudes wearing hard hatI mean...
Arbaal, my bro.. you might be a commander of Archaon but you are losing this one. You are facing the strongest Khorne has ever made.
>14k people watching a random gameplay streamnothing can stop the 40k bros
>1 unit has multiple weaponsthat is cool
>>574992135Oh, you playing a Dechala campaign?
Flamer effect looks insane for a handheld weapon lol
The battle looked fine but it doesn't matter much. I'll still try to autoresolve everything I can.
Weapons can have different firing modes depending on how far away the enemies are.I have been playing a game called Syrian Warfare and sometimes your sniper squads would change to SMGs if the enemies got into close range.
>>574992273Play the Terminator RTS those devs made, it's kino.
>>574992273that's actually really cool so you might be able to just bayonet charge now or charge in with chainswords after blasting everything
