loli
Thanquol soon, friends!
>40k keeps delaying End TimesFuck this shit man
>switch out shitty peasant archers with thunderersi love that you can mix armies man, favorite addition to warhammer 3
Best historical title: Rome 2Best fantasy title: Warhammer 3
>>576102897Ya after end times is stable they said they would since its the #1 ask for some time. Installing mods is a giant PIA on cracked versions btw.
I am the bone of my sword...
>>576114958i do kinda wish that certain races would get a bit of stuff mixed around for the outpost stuff. certain races (ie dwarfs for thunderers) are very clear winners to piggyback units from compared to others (ie warriors who just straight up don't have recruitment for things better than standard issue shielded warriors)
Ok, so I did some looking up and:>Grimgor came out of the dark lands at the head of a group of black orcs, the Immortulz.>Chaos Dwarfs completely outlawed black orcs after the rebellion and they're not allowed as slaves.>Grimgor's name isn't an orc name, it's actually khazalid for indomitable beast, so not only was he a slave of the Chorfs at one point, he didn't get captured, they created and named him.>"A grin split Grimgor's grotesque features as he recalled how the stunties had wailed as he'd torn down their city of pillars and pits, freed their slaves and toppled their statues. That'd teach them to break their staves on his hide. That'd teach them to try to make Grimgor a slave. The grin faded, and the old anger came back, hotter and fiercer than any stunty fire-pit." —Grimgor Ironhide, recalling his true origins.So, yes. It was him. He was the orc that started the rebellion. The Chaos Dwarfs created the biggest orc the world ever saw, and he fucking annihilated them to the last.
40k is fucking gay, are they gonna EOS us fantasy bros?
Yes.
>>576119290i find it very fitting that the most tolkien of the evil factions has the most tolkien of downfalls
>>576119290"I HAVE DONE THIS BECAUSE IT IS JUST"
>>576119290>bio-engineering the ultimate giga-black (orc) to be your champion but they chimp out and loot your citiesI thought Bretonnia was France ?
>>576119481There's nothing worth adding that hasn't already been confirmed. It's better for Nagash to be the final addition than for CA to continue adding bullshit like Bhashitva that just makes the game worse.
we are still missing empire dwarf units, empire ogre units and empire giant units
>>576122265And imperial dwarfs.And imperial elves.And halflings.And gnomes.And imperial skaven (no one realizes they're skaven).
Do you guys ever bounce back and forth between two different campaigns for the sake of variety (and not getting burned out)?
>like lizardmen>zero personality>zero relevance>literal npc factionShit sucks. Meanwhile, skaven are loved for being psychotic retards that talk funny, so they get to do whatever the fuck wherever the fuck and whenever the fuck. A faction that exists only to be killed en masse can have cool stuff because gw actually put some thought into them.
>>576122265>>576122713Imperial Dragon ???
>be Saurus Warrior>hit you for 52 damageDon't come to Lustria
>>576123913I refuse to let Deathclaw stop being Karl's optimal mount.
>>576123058because theyre largely uninspired, like they couldve made skinks riding on kroxigor shoulders as an elite unit, skink is peppering people with darts and guiding the kroxigor into smashing things
>>576123916People never learn
Nagash units this week...MY NIGGASHI..
Ultramar...Home...
>>576125493>saurus warriors>look at that fucking weapon strength, holy fuck blessed saurus have almost 100 weapon strength on a 100 figure unit>there is literally no stacking bonuses for saurus warriors except disciplined trait and they struggle to have more than 50 melee attack and defence>without skink priest and oracle's constant harmonic convergence they just get chewed up by higher tier infantry after turn 40
I've played 1 (one) lizardsissy campaign
Medieval 3 news when?I wanna know which factions won the poll
>>576126261i think lizardmen are (like dwarfs) one of those factions that benefit a ton from unit cap mods because their early/mid core units are so killy compared to other units of the same tier. them not having a meaningful elite infantry as a melee smashy faction doesn't matter nearly as much when your enemy can't field entire stacks full of chosen or black orcs or swordmasters of hoeth
Gee it's hot in here... eheheh..
>>576130812*snaps your whore in half*
>>576131635>violent incel chud momentMANY such cases
Do we think Total War 40k will get a fat ass collectors edition?It's a console game so it might, the two upcoming Sega games will get one, Persona 4 has a big collectors editionWH3 had a steelbook edition thing
>>576131635>the mutant animal muties out with a mutie momentunsurprising, its what he was mutated to do
>>576133181youre not getting a physical disc
DoW4 lost immediately when they decided to opt for Mechanicus over Guard. Nobody wants to play as the crumby Mechanicus, CA won just by virtue of including Guard over Mechanicus, would've preferred getting Tyranids over Eldar personally though.
>>576133594I don't really know anything about 40k apart from what gets posted here. Why are the Guard seemingly so popular?
>>576133726>Normal humans in a setting of ubermensch brutes and aliensIts rooting for the underdogs
>>576133726They're Empire but in space. Faith, Steel and Gunpowder but the Gunpowder is lasers. "Regular human facing down inhuman horrors" trope. Tanks and artillery that actually look like tanks and artillery. Only imperium horde playstyle on the tabletop. Have a regiment for any aesthetic(ww1, generic sci-fi etc). There's a lot of reasons they're popular even though they're quite generic in that there's not really any out there sci-fi shenanigans going on
>>576133726they're the skaven equivalent
>>576133726because artillery gunlines, thats really about itnobody really plays guardsmen for guardsmen because they kinda suck and only exist to capture points and screen for mechs, and everybody fields weapons that turns them into mulch so you cant win the game
I see, makes sense
>>576133726They're the closest thing to a common man army. Their tactics vary depending on regiment but many prominent ones are WW2 in space as well as modern doctrines. They have high techm cyborg soldiers, etc but are comparatively low tech to other factions.
>>576133726>why are they so popularmixture of mil-his autists getting rock hard at space military, military larpers getting rock hard at woah cool tanks and artillery and gun lines yeah war is awesome, and HFY people getting rock hard at normal humans fighting against impossible horrors and either pulling through or dying in a heroic wayin terms of their actual army they play like skaven if, instead of clanrats and skavenslaves being shitty melee chaff, they were given guns and became shitty ranged chaff. massed infantry that mostly exists to screen the enemy and hold objectives, special weapons crews/specialists that pick out targets, artillery that blasts away most targets, leadership with a callous disregard for collateral damage that sits behind the line coordinating everything, etc etc. they rely a lot less on magic, though, and most of the moulder and eshin stuff beyond rat ogres is replaced by tanks and armored personnel carriers and air support. if you've played a skryre campaign they'll probably play similarly
>console RTSI have no confidence in 40k except as a 40k Halo Wars.
>>576134045If they are the Empire in space, then who is their Karl Franz?
>>576136409Emprah.But the Empire and Imperium diverged enough that Cathay is way closer to the Imperium and probably deliberately so. The Empire sees High Elves and Dwarfs as trusted, reliable allies while the Imperium hates most aliens. By WHFb standards, having gunpowder makes the Empire one of the highest tech factions, while the best of the Imperium is among the best in 40k, the average case in the Imperium is below average.
>>576136670I figured as much but he isn't playable, I guess I should have specified who is the playable equivalent
>>576136846As of this point, the closest character would be Guilliman but it's unlikely he'd be a playable unit. Karl's an above average fighter but Guilliman's straight up one of the toughest fighters in the setting. Relative speaking, he'd closer if Franz was stronger than any unnamed Chaos Lord, Daemon Prince, or Grail Knight.
>>576133726>Why are the Guard seemingly so popular?every warhammer faction is specifically designed to appeal to a specific audiencethe guard is the faction aimed at history autists, there's a lot of overlap between the target audience and people who already play TW and other strategy games
>>576136409there is none because literally the only throughline is mortal human in a setting where most opponents are inhuman. the empire in fantasy is a jack of all trades roster that loosely mimics the HRE in the 16th century and is a pretty functional nation full of (for the most part) rational freemen. the imperial guard is a very specialized faction as far as 40k is concerned, and the imperium at large is a dysfunctional, oftentimes actively malicious, repressive state from whom the only mercy and rational treatment that can be found is in being overlooked. its foreign policy is total extermination of all non-human life, with any alliances being strictly temporary and of convenience. even on the small scale, the imperial human of 40k is an uneducated, cowed, and oppressed wretch that is only kept in line through violence and heavy religious indoctrination. the head of state of the imperium is a man who has been dead for ten thousand years and was a brutal, heartless, bloody dictator when he was still alive. actual executive governance in his stead is handled by a twelve-member council of the most powerful political animals of the various beaurocratic institutions of the imperium, all of whom are invariably divorced from the actual state of affairs, competent only in the art of political maneuvering, and wholly self-interested. you will find almost none of the reasons you like warhammer fantasy's empire in the imperium of man. it is a hive of villainy.
>>576136348>One of the best RTSs only to be mismanaged by microsoftKino
>>576133726Only faction with cool artillery and combined arms.
Best 40k lore sloptuber ?
>>576138824arbitor ian is the only one I don't find annoying
>>576138824slopwise? majorkill
>>576133726IT IS THE BANEBLADE(or a variant of)
>>576098235Marketing nonsense just like the Witcher hadWe live in a matriarchy, being anti-woman is not tolerated
still the best menu themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh9HI4eudR8
>>576141696https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jBc4OjWORw
what 40k faction do you least want to see in the game?
>>576111168Oh look its the two biggest jobbers of the setting.
>>576142410rats
>>576142442>I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME CHAPTER MASTER MAAAAN
>>576142410Any non-imperials and non-chaos40K is Imperium vs ChaosAll the other factions are worthless fillerThere is already enough xenos, but really xenos should have just been NPC factions. Xenoslop will just take up time until we get Guard/SM/SoB/IK/Inquisition /Chaos + god Legions DLC that actually matters. Hope CA realizes this when the xenoshit DLCs flop.
>>576142410I really don't care for league of voltann but I know they'll 100% be in early because it will bring in all the dwarf players from TWW.I wish they'd separate daemons of chaos into the chaos gods like in TWW.
>>576142649They probably will to make the roster look bigger anyway
>>576142603Couldn't care less about space marines vs spiky space marines.
>>576142878why not just nuke this battlefield
>>576142878Xeno shitter your armies should be removed. Be thankful your slop is allowed to be playable. SM and Imperium vs Chaos carry the setting. You are a backdrop GW takes pitty on every now and then.
>>576143040Because an infinitesimal sprocket is produced in a nearby factory and nobody knows how to make it anywhere except here. The entire Imperium will fall without it.As for the tyranids, why nuke your food?
>>576143063Xenos are dominating tabletop right now. Necrons, Aeldari, Nids, Leagues of whatshisface are all really strong at the moment.
>>576143183Fairy tales Orks are popular because they have new stuffSales are still majority Marines, IF and Chaos
>>576142878IS THAT RED LASER LASGUNS!? REMOVE THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW! LASGUNS FIRE BULLETS YOU FUCKING FUCK!
>>576143163grimderp
>>576143183Emporers Children those ugly fucks..
>>576143040Orbital assets are likely tied up fighting opposing orbital assets.You don't want to completely wipe a battlefield with indiscriminate WMDs unless you're absolutely certain your deployed forces are going to lose, especially if you have something as valuable as a titan on the field.>>576143063Chaos are boring enemies, my banblades will be shooting at fun enemies, like orks or tyranids or tau.
>>576143268>Orks are popular becauseRight, I fucking knew I was forgetting one. And the strongest one too, lmao.
>>576143391why doesn't the titan have low-yield tac nukes?
>>576143372Last time I saw a list like a week ago emperor's children were like 6 or 7 positions behind your pic.
>>576143301remarkably consistent or something
>>576143183Swap aeldari for t'au, and add orks. Maybe remove tyranids. Maybe.
>>576136409Lord Solar Arcadian LeontusYou are not getting him in a base game. It will be Ursual Creed to fulfill female quota
>>576143835
>>576143571The size of a "low yield" nuclear weapon, one strong enough to wipe out large quantities of 40k units, would necessitate replacing one of the primary weapons for a titan of that size, and then that titan becomes comically underarmed after the next tyranid wave appears.An inferno gun and a turbo laser destructor would be an optimal combination for a scout titan like that against tyranids and would provide consistent and far better long term results in sustained combat.
>>576144181You are so fucking cringe.
>>576144181okay fineof course titan's are just astronomically inefficient mobile artillery if you ask me...
>setting made by britbong heavy metal nerds in the 80s is kinda retardedWho could have guessed
>>576144440Titans are expected to be shot at and even duel opposing titans with direct fire, they're not artillery platforms. And smaller things can ambush titans and cripple or kill them but you're not dueling a titan with anything less than another titan. They break unassailable fortifications and sweep aside super heavy tanks with impunity, they possess the armor and shielding to ignore fire that would turn a baneblade to slag, they're the ultimate assault vehicles.But if you want titan-scale artillery platforms you have options.
sometimes I...just want to be green and big and meanAEKTF?

>get gaped>turn back 5 turnswhy am i like this?
Total war and this thread are soon gonna end forever, won't they?Once wh3 is no longer getting support we have nothing left. There won't be anything new, not even new mods. It's just gonna be 40k: a total war saga, for like a decade and even after that we probably won't get another game.The only hope we have left is a WH4 AoS but it's not looking good.
>>576147229ritualposters for medi3when and AoSwhen..
>>576147229What do you mean "we" you stupid little fag?I'll be enjoying ten years of 40k total war while you seethe impotently.>There won't be anything new, not even new modsThe end of major updates is the best time for modding you retard.>The only hope we have left is a WH4 AoS but it's not looking goodThis would actually be the lowest point total war has seen since fucking empire. This would be to TWWH what thrones of britannia was to rome 2.
>>576147584WE WILL FINALLY GET WH1/WH2 MAPS IN WH3LETSFUCKINGGOO!O!!!!!!
>>576147584>enjoy 40 thousand tranniesOh no, the tourists are already upon us..CA why have you destroyed your own game..You could have at least made aos to get WH going into 4 and 5..
>>576147837>the tourists are already upon usI've been using this general before you and I was probably playing total war before you were born.
>>576147229>Once wh3 is no longer getting support we have nothing left. There won't be anything new, not even new mods.Fucking noob, a game support ending is literally the golden age of modding because they can begin grand projects without worrying that an update will ruin their shitWe can finally fix so much jank as a community once the last DLC is done
>we
>>576147650actually we'll get WH3 maps in WH1
>>576147837lol
>>576147985Cringe.Anyway, we better hope someone stays around to make new cool mods for wh3 so we can keep playing for a long time. The future of total war is console games where every unit is 360° fire whilst moving copy paste sloppa.
>>576143372>imperial guard 32% What the actual fuck. Why are they like this
