I can't bring myself to start a campaign
Thanquol soon, friends!
is volkmar campaign any good? also did he get better after this incident
If TWW3 had campaign map DLCs, would you buy them?Imagine if it was like... a zoomed in map of different areas, they naturally wouldn't have every faction, but they'd let you play out big events from campaigns.More like the TWW3 prologue than chaos wastes.
>>575628746No, nobody ever plays them which is why CA stopped making them. Wood Elves and Beastmen had their own mini-campaigns in WH1.
>>575628746I'm surprised no one's bothered to port the Beastmen/Wood Elf campaigns Nobody really liked them but you could throw a few more LL's into them and have a nice little deathmatch in thereOr bring back the proper Vortex map proportions for Lustria/Naggaroth
>>575628746The problem with mini campaigns is that it's generally just the same experience you get playing the grand campaign, only you have less variety. On paper it looks good, the people who like a particular race gets more content to experience with them in mind, but the end result in how CA has been doing it is just a worse experience. Fighting beastmen 99 times out of 100 got boring pretty quick. And the campaign map layers had no additional depth either
>>575628437is volkmar campaign any good?No.>also did he get better after this incidentNot canon.but ET canon fate is not better
>>575628746a map expansion maybe, maybe have europe or earth map from medieval to play with warhammer factions
>>575628746I would love them but the majority probably wouldn'tThey just love to suck off IE
>>575630239>maybe have europe or earth map from medieval to play with warhammer factionsThat would be funBut CA/GW might be really fucking anal about that shit and send a C&DI'm sure that's also why we don't see any outrageous shit, mainly because of GW
40k could give me narrative DLCs and I'll buy all of that shit.
are daemonettes supposed to be hot?
The following legendary lords will be present in both WH:TW and 40k:TW- Be'lakor- Skarbrand- Skulltaker- Ku'gath- Epidemius- N'kari- Masque of Slaanesh- Kairos- the ChangelingI hope the Fantasy and 40k communities can bond over their shared love of Be'lakor, the Dark Master.
>>575629101>>575629749>>575629993That's a shame.>>575630485I think it could be neat, but it would require a lot of work to make it not feel shit, which I'm sure cost to benefit is a bit too much for CA.>>575631430It used to be they're supposed to be hot, but ever since like 2004 they're supposed to be horrifying.
>>575631430Are men supposed to be hot?
>>575631908I sure hope that CA won't act like hyperjews and hide all the already available demon content behind DLCs instead of just having them on release!
>>575631908>>575632221 I own some of those already.. Surely it carries over.. Right.. :)
>>575631430not in this franchise
>>575632379Yeah along with your blood dlc :)>B-But they said they won't do those anymore!:^)
>>575631908You forgot Karl Franz.
Do (You) level up yellow, red or blue lines first on lords?
>>575631086I think that's basically the plan. DLCs won't just be units and factions but campaigns and scenarios, with new features and mechanics trickling into your custom campaign scenarios over time.
>>575633412Depends on the lord.Melee Combat Lords I do a mix of Yellow & BlueRanged/Support Lords I do a mix of Blue & Red
>>575631430Daemonettes, like dryads, have the illusion of hotness, then shift into a frightening war form when they're close enough to gut you.
>>575633617they don't look hot from any distance in total warâ„¢ warhammer
>>575631430Yes, but not in the middle of combat. They're supposed to look hot only when they're trying to tempt you, and once they've fully got you in their clutches they turn back to their real forms and look fucking horrifying. In combat they just don't bother with the illusion because they're trying to scare you, not seduce you.Having said that, they really could do with an extra boob, the one cut off boob look has gotten really fucking tired. It was never appealing from neither a hotness nor coolness factor, and it doesn't even make much sense because who the fuck does that appeal to. Either go all in or all out.
>>575633617would
>>575634046The one boob thing was when they were trying to do "all daemonettes are hermaphrodites" so it was supposed to be one feminine boob, one man chest, with the implication of one penis and one vagina.Old WFRP/BlackCrusade books even have dick + vagene as a pretty common slaanesh mutation.
>>575634706I know why they did it, it's still lame, unappealing and weirdly unbalanced and half-measured for being a Slaanesh thing. I'd rather they just had no boobs at all and simply looked androgynous, or that they had both boobs, or even that the unit combined both possibilities but not the one boob look. It's not horrifying enough to help with the cenobite inspiration, it's not hot enough to help with the pleasure theme, it's not aesthetic enough to help with the pride thing, it's not balanced enough to fit with the perfection thing. It's just something they came up with and for some reason have completely fallen in love with.
How long until the eventual oldhammer total conversion that revert the setting back to say 4th edition, before primaris and reddit necrons
I don't like that Farsight and Farseers are two completely different things belonging to two different races
Lore status?
>Farseers lol
>>575636267If he's actually serious he'd fire all foids from the team
>>575636267he never said that.
>>575636360I think he did fire a bunch of them for not following his autismVery cool if true
>>575636462he said this, I was there
>>575636462no he's guarding the lore
>>575636462How do you know?
Black and Asian Space Marines as well as female Primarchs are all canon and so they shall also be in TW:40k as well as the Henry Cavill 40k show
Are there any 40k imperial factions that are focused on melee rushing but are NOT space marines?
>>575640462Imperial orks
>>575640401>Asian Space MarinesI would specifically want my white scars to all be mongols with mongol accents if I ran them.
>>575640462Space marines aren't focused on melee rushes, only specific chapters have a doctrinal preference for melee combat.Krieg and catachans like to close in to close range for different reasons. Ogryn are usually used as shock troops that mostly fight in melee assaults.
>>575640401>female PrimarchsI guess Fulgrim technically would have transitioned upon becoming a Slaanesh daemon prince.>>575640462OrksChaos Marines/Daemons, especially Khorne and SlaaneshCustodes

The reality is that CA will be developing Total War: Warhammer 40,000 until they either go bankrupt or ascend into a new realm. No Total War game could ever hope to be bigger than 40K.
>>575642451>>575641438Imperial.
>>575642501I expect ca will fully transition to a 40k studio and someone else will come along and pick up the historical slack
>>575642551All of those are imperial, you just need to squint
>>575642501i hope it kills ca and makes the people who can't make an end game crisis declare war on everyone and not just the player unable to get any further employment
>>575628746A new map is actually the best thing they could add to the game right now.Immortal Empire but rescaled to have more space between each LL/major factions.
>>575642501It's a devil's bargain because they're very much growing dependent on the Warhammer brand.
>>575642501I want them to deliver the entire 40k roster, after that they can go bankrupt for all I care
>>575642501I hope to god I lurked this thread for 3 years in anticipation for 40k, I will buy 3 premium preorder copies to support CA decision and I will buy the innevitable season pass
>>575644059What if I pirate 40 thousand copies and bankrupt CA huh what then?
>>575642501Total War: WW2
>>575644379if they did that there's no way they'd make the funny mustache man's faction playable
>>575644543They'd just do what German versions of HOI4 do and make hitler and nazi imagery silhouetted
>>575644543Why? They're the most moral faction in the entire war.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconia_incident
>>575644379it's honestly impressive how big hearts of iron 4 has gotten insane that a ww2 game that autistic now mogs civilization and total war in concurrent playersmaybe TW:WW2 really is the way to go

>>575644543Did you mean HITLER? We're not on a website like Reddit or Blusky, you can say ADOLF HITLER here. No one is going to ban you for saying ADOLF HITLER, FÜHRER OF GERMANY.
>>575643778A 1.5x map expansion would be a godsend, but the game is tragically too fucked in every front to even approach that subject. We can only wait for some uber autist to handcraft it.
>>575645630I love Hannibalposting
>>575644379I feel like WW2 is the worst possible idea for a TW in a country mileWhy would you pick the 1 time frame in Real Time Strategy History that actually has alternatives? There's WW2 games coming out all the time.
>people still havent realized that wh3 is a gigantic pile of a decade of spaghetti code held together by duct tape and think CA will make any major additions to the game at this point
Reading the Gotrek books is funny because you have Gotrek's plotline where he does shit, Felix's plotline where he does shit, and then Thanquol is just on some random Fear and Loathing in Hellpit non-adventure in the background.
>>575647383the upcoming end times addition seems fairly major
>>575647383>you must REALIZE this completely irrelevant thing that nobody gives a fuck about!I'm jealous, I wanna share a braincell with cultist chan too!
Gamescom will just be a short cg trailer followed by sloppily stitched together footage of a battle between the Space Marines and Eldar with heavy frame drops and another showing of Orks vs IG in case you missed it the last two times.. No solid release date for the game or beta will be given nor will any additional information on the campaign or gameplay systems.It will be at the ass end of the show so you will sit through a ton of slop before it too.CA will then go radio silent for a month then drop in a reply to a random reddit post that the Beta will start on December 31.
>>575651443overoptimistic, we won't see eldar that soon
Give me Age of Sigmar Total War.
>>575651996I wish they would have made that. 40k can't work in total war.We'd even have gotten all chaos factions at launch cause they are the same. We'd have countless units, lords, factions and mechanics.
>>575651996Not until it reaches its 8th edition at least. Besides I think CA will go bankrupt by then after 40k and midevil3 flops
>>575653596>We'd even have gotten all chaos factions at launch cause they are the sameThey’re actually radically different. I don’t think tzeentch would function with current CA because the army would rely on diplomacy.
>>575653596>40k can't work in total war>ignores gameplay video of it clearly working perfectly
>>575653784The demons are the same and the guys wear blue armor. It's not that complicated. You make a new campaign map and just copy paste the dudes over while giving Archaon a new mount.
>>575654003The videos of dawn of war? It's as people have said a decade ago. 40k cannot work in total war. Renaming AI2 to Total War: Alien Isolation also does not automatically make it a total war game.
>>575654196Did you miss the TW40K gameplay stream?
>>575654438Miss? Mhm, sorry I missed stepping into this dogshit on the sidewalk. I accidentally avoided stepping into this steaming pile of shit.
>>575654007The blue guys don’t even have the blues guys with armor yet…

>>575651996No.
>>575655307Bashiva and probably Monkey King down the line tooPretty cool of CA/GW to let that happen.Nothing like that will happen for 40k I feel, GW are far too anal about 40k for that to happenkots wen

Total War: Insects and Arachnids
do cloak/stealth/ambush mechanics exist in tabletop?I wonder how much of a factor fog of war will play in 40k
>>575628746Yeah, I only play The Old World ever since it released. IE is a garbage theme park, nonshit New World would be nice
>>575659942>one billion settlementsdoes each end turn take 10 minutes?
>>575660331no
>>5756604035 minutes?
>>575658906sorta, stealth is like vanguard except youre also harder to his at rangealso some unit can teleport/drop pod onto the fieldand some come in as reinforcements
>>575660331I play IE expanded and the end turns take like 2minutes. Loading screens are so long that I have youtube videos on the other screen to entertain myself.

They should disable strafing for all factions except the Eldar. It's rule accurate and will evoke Dawn of War 1 sovl.

>>575667683>and will evoke Dawn of War 1 sovlAll ranged infantry could shoot while moving in dawn of war.

>>575668028https://youtu.be/qjzLuddjIUI?t=115
If TW:40K flops would it mean the end of CA?Hypothetically
>>575669064Nah
>>575669064Yeah, they don't have any current money-makers. This is why Hyenas was so ridiculed in a meta sense, CA are basically in dire straits yet they wasted money and time on that shit.
>>575669064no point in question like this, when such scenario is physically impossible Absolute worst case scenario it's 3k on steroids they kill for no reason - The biggest TW release ever, far higher playerbase peak than 3K and the fastest selling TW ever made. However it doesn't retain playerbase huge enough to some arbitrary requirements, CA keeps making multiple dlcs which, somehow unrealistic as it may be, don't sell so good.By then Med3 releases and is a hit anyway
>>575669591There's a less than zero chance GW allows CA to just abandon the game.
>>575666823I end up going towards the south pole when I play skarbrand. Always better to secure a corner of map desu
>>5756695913kingdoms players are bad goyim who cream the dlc. 40k players are paypiggies, even moreso than fantasyfags. They wont pull the plug.
>>575665495I feel like that's a general rule for all factions.. if you start in chaos, you stay in chaos. If you start outside of chaos, stay the fuck away from chaos for as long as possible.
>>575673395ew
>>575669064DESU I'm really concerned about the whole "the AI will just know which weapon to fire" thingSeeing the preview of the Guardsmen fighting the tank, they threw like one grenade at itCompare that to how quickly the tank mowed down a whole unit of Orks, if I'm putting krak grenades or rockets on my units they have to launch a full salvo of them as soon as they get in range of something like a Baneblade.>>575673395LIG is better.
How many vanilla campaigns should i finish before installing VCO?
>>575673395Hyper-realistic skin textures on what are essentially anime models always looks so bad. It's the reason 90% of Blender animations are trash.

>>575680187I dunno how viable it is but I'm sure you could take the first settlement and then go on an adventure south and build your base next to malakai cause there are 2 minor factions for easy slaying. When the north attacks, you trade them your one settlement you took in the beginning and make peace.
