How will daemons manage in 40k:TW? They have the same units as in Fantasy but the other factions all have way more firepower. It's easier to gloss over on the tabletop where you don't have things being simulated real time.

Wraith units are super tanky and meant to be deployed where you intend to fight but also expect to actually be shot at.

True, but wraits will not be there at release and will likely be slow as shit.
>>
I hope the game will be availbe via geforce now.
>>
>>575245105
they're definitely not going to make them slow, they'll probably have some sort of evasion mechanic where you dodge/resist a percentage bullets for X seconds after leaving cover and reset upon recharging the ability

>they're definitely not going to make them slow
They are slow (for an eldar) in the tabletop
Its their main weakness, this and being hard to hide.
In TW40K they will likely be medium infantry, which means they won't be able to use cover, like ogryns and marines
>>
>>575245363
>they're definitely not going to make them slow
???
That's their downside, they're tough and deal massive damage but are slow and short ranged so they have to endure some hits to return fire

Wraithblades with shields are roughly tankier than terminators and about as fast.
Having a seer or wraithseer in the army will probably make wraiths significantly faster.
>>
>>575246542
Maybe
But one certainty is that they will not be able to use cover, which means they will take more shots
>>
>>575246542
ok? Still doesn't change them having slow speed as a defining negative to the unit
>>
>>575246324
Is that Asarnil the Dragonlord or whatever he's called
>>
>>575246645
I imagine they'll be best used as shock infantry assaulting cover or behind entrenched infantry ready to repel assaults rather than lined up in defensive positions.
>>575246668
It's mostly that they're slow(for eldar), wraithguards are like 15% slower than something like a guardsman or tactical marine and wraithlords are as fast as dreadnoughts.

At the very least wraithguards and wraithblades are significantly more expensive than terminators on TT so you'll probably be paying a lot to get units that aren't made of paper in your TW40K eldar army.
>>
i can't wrap my head around how cav on cav charges worked irl. wouldn't the front ranks of either side just collapse causing a domino effect pileup?
>>
>>575250497
I dont think cavalry charged directly head-to-head against other cavalry in real life.
They probably touched on the sides
>>
>>575245859
>>575245952
>>575246542
If you watch the exodite (warhammer + show) it reveals the wraith lord moving pretty fast. Like as fast as a space marine
>>
>>575250628
>>575250497
they had whole tournaments about this shit
>>
>>575250957
Wraithlords do move more than marines in the tabletop, since their legs are bigger.
Wraithblades and Wraithguard move slower in average
>>
>>575250497
they arent charging other cavalry usually, and the horses are moving with thousands of pounds of momentum, the infantry just go flying. A horse can throw a person moving like 5 feet from a stand still
>>
>>575250991
Jousts? They are a sport, and they don't charge eachother on the same lane.
There is no point to charge cavalry, you will just fall off your horse on impact
>>
>>575251161
I think we're just all saying things about similar sounding units. There are like 5 different units with wraith in the name even the knight-like one
>>
Who has the better faction mechanic between Grom and Gorbad?
>>
>>575251461
Grom good Gorbad bad
>>
>>575250628
possibly, although there's plenty of battles where cavarly went head-to-head so maybe there was a gentlemans agreement to slow down before impact or something
>>
>>575251562
this but opposite

>>
>>575250497
They overwhelmingly tried not to.
In fact cavalry generally tended to avoid charging and contacting a prepared enemy.
Cavalry mostly tried to use the charge to get the enemy formation to break and then run them down, as people usually don't want to get hit by a horse running at full speed.
You also don't really want your horse crashing into a braced and armored human because the odds of the horse badly hurting itself are pretty high.

Remember that you can soup up units with lord traits to overperform relative to tabletop in WHF. So there will 100% be ways to be tankier eldar. Not to the point that you are tankier than a tank-specced space marine, but tanky enough to not have to be 100% fragile.

>>575246542
I Like the greater amount of ranged weapons making it so small tank core doesn't feel as gimmicky. I never liked herohammer or "3 tanky units hold down the entire enemy line moshpitting around them", felt bullshitty. But in the more fluid and open engagement of firepower it doesn't feel as wrong.

>>575250497
You would have to drill for cavalry to charge knee-to-knee. It did happen, I remember an explicit remark about a contemporary of it but I am not sure what era. But in reality the formation would be loose enough that it'd be less two solid walls hitting eachother and more one crowd passing through another crowd.

Take the behavior of police cavalry versus rioters, put the rioters on horseback, that's what cavalry vs cavalry is.
