Thanquol soon, friends!
>>577408306thanquol VERY soon, friends
>>577408164Tbqh that mount looks pretty ass. It's not cool the way a zombie dragon is cool. Is it just gonna wriggle through the air like a big noodle? Lame as shit.

>>577408416it's n*gash of couse it looks like shit
>>577408306So you are doing this until late September, then?
I don't think those are Beastmen, Sir.
>>577408164how many hatless Neferata mods will we get?
>>577408496>splitting all lords into separate dlcs so we have to buy everyonethis is all very jewish
>>577408536Yes, friend. Once Thanquol is released I'm done.
>>577407669>arabs are too schizo to get represented because no one wants to risk getting Hebdo'dSad
We haven't had good DLC since Nuln
Neferata should be able to confederate Khalida through force and bring her back to Silver Pinnacle for vampire conversion therapy.If this is not an option the Neferata LL has failed.
>>577408686There is pack for $30, they started doing this because people complained about the price of DLCs previously if they were only interested in 1 lord. I think it is kinda dumb.
>>577408706okay just checking
>>577408416It looks like a WoW mount
>>577408805Only if Khalida gets the reverse option.
>>577408806ah i see
>>577408645Dunno but I really want that one you posted, because it's my favorite Neferata look.
The one chaos chosen from the TW1 orc trailer.
>>577408729That's a Turk.
>first time in years I'm excited for dlcneat
>End times DLC and Fire Emblem releasing within a few days of one anotherSurely I am not the only anon facing this dilemma, right? I think the best option is just to play FE and wait for the DLC to inevitably get like 3 hotfixes when shit is bugged and doesn't work. Also gives a chance for some mods to update.
here is a breakdown of (almost) everything new being added with the lords of the end times if people did not see it yethttps://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/blogs/102
>>577407808It was fake and so was the Lords of Shang Yang "leak"
>>577409386I am in the same boat and am choosing FE first. Can't let the inevitable autism that is guaranteed from a 3 houses related FE boil over and spoil anything for me, plus Nagash is probably going to be confederating Lizards instead of Undead or something equally stupid for the first week before CA fix their shit somewhat
>>577409386mmm maybe i will finally get into fire emblem now that its next to release
>>577409386>wakanda emblemI'll wait until Nintendo gives the series back to KT.
this really reminds me of nu warcraft with specially since they abuse teal and cyan in their undead shit too
>>577409567>Hellsnicht and Wallach Harkon as LHSo I'm almost certain that Drachenfels/Nameless will be an ability to take over enemy heroes, since he appeared in the first trailer as a generic Warrior Priest.
What is the point of these new "I win" buttons if the campaign remains complete dogshit?
>>577409932I am not a huge fan of the setting either, but all of the previews have been really positive. At least the MC is white (or create-a-character).
thoughts?
>>577410160You've seen through the veil!Even after the DLC, WH3 will remain bad. So don't buy it! Everyone who purchases DLC shouldn't be surprised when 40k takes the lessons CA has learned from selling WH DLC and doubles down.
>>577408686>Pre-Purchase Total War: WARHAMMER III – Lords of the End Times BUNDLE >Buy this bundle to save 15% off all 4 items!?
>>577408164>no high priest of ulric genetic lordwhy?
>>577408686>we have to buy everyonewe don't thoughthey split it so we don't have to buy chaosshitters alongside the order lords people actually play
>>577410287>all of the previews have been really positivehmm i wonder why
For us, the storm has passed. The war is over.But let us not forget those who ventured into the howling dark, and did not return.
>>577408686>we have to buy everyoney... you d... you really don't? its split? you don't have to? if they werent split then you would have to? is your brain fried?
>>577410487I mean sure, I guess you can say they're all lying for access or whatever but if the game was shit and then you gave a glowing preview you'd be in hot water, especially if you're an independent content creator and not IGN. I think the game will be good, just have to deal with the fact that there are some ugly dreaded dudes in the game. The brown chicks seem to be babes though.
>>577410445sorry lil bro battle priests still get all the melee infantry buffs, hail sigmar
>>577408832Fucking Pallando or Alatar look alike
How come skaven only get one hero?
I only care about Boris... I guess Karl will have less responsibilities and a much easier campaign if the former ends up being strong.
>>577410557is the goblin saying wegh because he wants to play a WEG(western erotic game)?
The 9.0 patch and reworks better be fucking massive if they are really making us wait until september 24
>>577410848they will be absolutely massive
>Watched the whole Sotek stream.>Only interesting bitz:>Absolutely sure it is not the last DLC, "not even close", "plenty more in the horizon", he even mention Race Pack.There's a chance for a Bohemond Beastslayer DLC then.
>>577410314fixed
>>577408164>literal AOS tier garbage model
>>577410117Sotek said the Nameless isn't an agent, but he is in the game in some manner
>>577410614i'm really hoping they add them as flc, ulric is just incomplete without the high priest lords
>>577411065It looks like AoS garbage because it is AoS garbage.
>>577411021Yes. Bretonnia, Lizardmen, and Dark Elves will be the last DLC in 2032, 3 years after the next dlc, Dogs of War.
>>577408869nuWoW mount at that something straight from the SHADOWlands
>>577409214Same shit
>>577411041who is the blue haired woman?who is the blonde woman?
>>577411065Literally from AOS, yeah
>>577411281>who is the blue haired woman?Yin Yin? (for Grand Cathay)>who is the blonde woman?Amazons, I think.
>>577411041more like ruinedhow is she a never ever?Yin-Yin is all but confirmed as a future DLC, Cathay DLC always sells like hot cakes it's one of the most played factions
>>577411476>Amazons, I think.they're never getting in, just like araby, nippon, and halflings

>>577408729>>577409214technically as a janissary it's a european, saved from the forces of hell as a child and then indoctrinated + pumped with alchemy to become a warrior of the sultan

>>577411281>who is the blonde woman?A Warhammer Amazon, but it's not very accurate
>>577411547...on opposite day
>>577411145>>577411464lmao GW knows no one would ever want an AoS total war so they're letting them use even more AoS shit.
can’t believe dow GODS are still cucked we should’ve been warhammer 1 dlc
>>577410445>I want Arch-Lector but dirty and smelly.
>>577410082congratulations anon, you are doing the complaints that were done 13 years ago when the models actually came out (the exact same types complaints were made about nagash, blightkings, glottkin, skullreapers, stormfiends, etc)
So these are flagellents, but shit?
>>577410314Who's on the left?
>My life>MY WHOLE LIFE!
>>577411697kinda funny that the vampire counts roster is still barely changed, only this additional dlc, and half the units are for tomb kings
>>577411896No, they're Swordsmen but more offensive.
Who's gonna tell them the bad news?
Lizardmen didn't even get a good rework. It's so over for us
>>577411896I genuinely don't see the need for this unit.Empire already has enough tier 0/1 melee infantry>>57741209740k doesn't need to be there
>>577411840yes
>>577411759cope and seethe all you want, doesn't change the fact Cathay is consistently one of the most played factions and that Bashiva's DLC alone has more steam reviews than both Dechala and Sayl combinedyou have to be genuinely fucking delusional if you don't think Cathay is getting more DLC
>>577412281Play thematically instead of caring about the numbers
>>577412376put on the pass troon
>>577406002not 'might', 'will'there's a huge portion of people who never played any tabletop game, who are secondaries who play the vidya and nothing else, parroting opinions from 1d4chan and such that dictates their opinions on the tabletops they've never played, but the moment an actually good AOS game happens, they'll change their tuneit's interesting because, in many ways, tww3 at release was already more of an aos game in feel than it was a fantasy game, sure it was in the fantasy world, but portals, gods, glowy magical weapons, bright primary colours, etc, was all very aos. it's funny, because now aos art feels more warhammer fantasy than tww3 does
>>577412281>TWW40k will NEVER happen the game doesn't suit the scale of 40k
REDDIT'S KNOCKOFF THANQUOLPOSTER GOT ADDED TO THE GAME AND THE OG GETS NOTHINGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>577411716>BugmanI'd love it if he led a horde faction.I want Bertrand the Brigand for Bretonnia.Ghark Ironskin for Ogres too.
>>577412097Speaking of which, when the FUCK are they gonna actually make Ind and Kuresh actual territory? The game's cramped af.
>>577412376li dao and yin yin, the monkey hopefully just an LH
>>577409567Just heard the news about the update. Nagash sounds fun with a lot of replay value. The others sound meh. >more nurgle and they get another 4, count them, 4 additional legendary heroes>they also get a slop monster lord that is also a spellcaster and with a ranged weapon. Yawn, nurgle is so boring to play as but now they will so much more annoying on the campaign map. >Another rat >with big rat monsters yawn >More Empire >probably the coolest part of the Empire, but somehow empire is always just not that fun to play as. >is essentially Kislev lite. meh >Tzeentch absolutely snubbed, again. lol>Neferata finally in well, at least Vampires finally get their day.
>>577412445The whole waiting room was for the trilogy.Not for other games
>>577412434cope seethe and dilate
>>577412458Someone send that ca employee the archive for Thanquol soon
>>577412443When? In another decade? TW40k is gonna be their main game for a long time and tabletop AoS continues to slide into irrelevancy.
>>577412443what is this garbage? this looks like medieval 40k
>>577412458>and gets the dlc for freeBrutal
>>577412376>Bashiva's DLC alone has more steam reviews than both Dechala and Sayl combined...huh, it actually does.Who the fuck keeps saying Bhashiva was a flop?
>>577412458>assuming it's two different peoplehow naive of you
>>577411021You forgot to copy-paste the Lahmian part.
>>577412754The redditor is 100% a copycat
>>577412458It's a safe bet that's the exact same autist here
>>577412458That thank you message reads exactly like Thanquolposter but with "friend" replaced by "Creative Assembly"
>>577412458>They should have added anon name to the game!
>>577412836Apparently, Enticity just straight up said Nefferata is getting multiple units
>>577412458I am content to remain anonymous, friend.>>577412754>>577412949I have never posted on r*ddit, friends.
Tides of Torment is on sale, is it worth?
>>577408164That's just a Khemrian Warsphinx reskin!
>>577413023hopefully, i meant VC are still lacking in roster, and they have to share this one dlc with tomb kings
>>577412609put on the goypass xir
>>577413083No
>>577402215>At this point I don't think there's going to be a Bretonnia rework...It's coming, anon.
>>577413101>meanwhile, vampire coast:
>>577413083Do you like Elves and Snakes?
>>577412458I am disappointed, all that effort for zero rewards, friend.>>577412754>>577412949I post on reddit very often but that is not my account, friends.
Why are content creators playing it now if it isn't ready for us for over a month?
Is Karl Franz, Volkmar, or the Sigmarites getting any flavor or love with this patch? What about Khazrak and is rivalry with Boris? There's a throwaway line in the blog about it but that's it
>>577413083Do you like High Elves, Slaanesh or Norsca? This is literally the only criteria for whether any given DLC is 'worth'
>>577411145>>577411464dumbass secondaries dont know these came out for fantasy during the end times not AoS
>>577412629They'll never acknowledge us, even Grace shit talked these generals back in the day if I recall.
No bret rework and no lizardmen rework. Get fucked
>>577413341Tableslop is secondary chuddy
Uhhhhhh but /twg/ told me end times aren't canon?
>>577413210they're a non important dlc faction tho
>>577413250The Norsca stuff interests me more than anything
>>577413312We live in a two-tier society.
>>577413013Making a quest called "Thanquol soon, friends!" would have worked and also been funnier than this reddit slop
>>577413424It's hard not to make him attractive and sassy
>>577412651and yet...
>>577413083No, they are boring faction leaders with bullshit OP faction abilities and the DLC follows the trend of streamlining every faction(giving Slaanesh ranged, monstrous infantry to HE, I win buttons to Norsca mechanics)
>>577413439of course it's real, read John's Apocalypse/Book of Revelation the end times are described in great detail there
>>577413473It's an interesting enough campaign, the units feel a bit gimmicky
>>577413564Cute :)Where is this from?
>>577413313>Is Karl Franz, Volkmar, or the Sigmarites getting any flavor or love with this patch? According to Sotek, just minor things, but a couple things.>What about Khazrak and is rivalry with Boris?The whole Boris campaign is you building up to one final climactic showdown with Khazrak, while the whole time you have to keep fending off his attacks from the forest.
>>577412458He didn't even do it for that long. Can't believe normies are impressed by this when I've seen autists on 4chan keep up ritualposts for over a decade
>>577412458Making a mod to remove this shit from the game day 1. Unless it's actually Thanquolfag in which case it can stay but otherwise I will not stand by and allow stolen valour of this severity.
Are we getting stormfiends other than thanquols mount?
>>577413861It's not me, friend.
>>577413874Yes. All 6 variants of them.
>>577413718the thread one was using a bot
>>577413597It's funny how the Empire is for the most part a semi-grounded HRE-expy, but then you get to the flagellants and get bullshit that would look harsh even in 40k.
>>577413874did you even bother watching the trailer before typing you fucking retard
>>577413715Yeah but what about from Khazraks side? Any Beastmen updates?
>>577413992Yes but I didn't see any and thought maybe they were hiding them somewhere
>>577413056Our fucking hero
>>577413597grim
>>577412458Someone with a plebbit account check how long he was doing it compared to our resident ratfucker
>>577413679https://www.tumblr.com/naki-nakii/792955127210409984/commission-i-requested-from-piaoziHere you go anon! There's a ton of rare skaven art hidden on tumblr
>>577414041get your eyes checked
>>577414038Iunno.
All ritualposters are scum of the earth
>>577414151I did, they're fucked
>>577414197I've had Thanquolfag filtered since the beginning
>>577414141I unironically love tumblr
>>577414151I watched it again and I still can't see any
>>577414060A mere 250ish days
I feel like Feral could be doing so much more.. But CA just has them porting their shit to meme OSs like Linux and MacOS...
>>577412650>continues to slide into irrelevancythat's TOW. kekaroo!
>>577408306So now what? Do you, like, finally stop posting and watching the catalog all day every day for a new thread or go kill yourself or what? Are you going to go develop a skill or find a real hobby or personality? What will you do now? The entire rest of your life is all downhill from here. Today was your day. Was it worth it?
>>577412458>ratposterfucking kek
>>577408306never....ever???
>>577414612>what if we brought back warhammer fantasy...>but with none of the characters people liked!Was doomed from the start.
>>577408164good trailer but how do they manage to make the screenshots on the steam page look so shit
>>577414612That must have been when it first came out no one else is packing that many Skeleton Warriors
>>577414494>>577414060>>577413718>>577413861>not even a yearStolen valor is right. This might even be worse than actual stolen valor!
>>577412443>the moment an actually good AOS game happensand how many more tries will that take?
Gonna make picrel happen for real now
>>577414627I think you you've got the wrong impression of me, friend, this isn't really that big of a deal to me and I'm happy that Thanquol is finally getting released. Are you okay, friend?
>>577414706>it's been 7 years since prophet and the warlockWeirdly doesn't feel that long
>>577414935Warhammer Survivors has an AoS mode. They'll claim victory when the game succeeds
>>577414627based
Is the new Empire Lord fine without all the empire dlcs? Or are they all must buy?
>>577414494>Not even a full calendar year gets you into the gameGrim, all this tells me is /twg/ is far more devoted to total war than reddit
>>577414935There's literally no draw to AoS at all, its been a decade and somehow it still has no lore.
>>577415093>Taking up space in 40k and WHF games is their only chance at success!
>This DLC bringing a metric crapton of content.>Confirmation that the DLC stream is nowhere near over and Warhammer Fantasy will keep getting support until the fanbase truly and well moves on.>40k looking good.>Med3 looking good.Bros, fellow vnderstanders, dare I say we're... optimistic? Happy?? HYPE???
>>577415323Yes that's what I'm saying
Just so you guys know even literal whos with <1000 viewers got early access https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDr9JhFvI4QMake a channel and record a few turns of a campaign, then you'll get early access to 40k shit that you can then leak here.
>>577415093>this is what the first successful AoS game looks likefunny if true
>>577415187You can skip on Wulfhart you miss out on archers that fill out very early armies but nothing that major otherwise.Elspeth adds far better units, hero and lord
>>577415323Considering AOS is by its the deformed incest child of 40k and WHF its natural really.
>>577413313There will probably be a minor overall rework to the Empire so that will touch all factions. I can easily imagine they’ll rework the books of Naggash slightly which will change volkmars campaign indirectly. They definitely have to do SOMETHING with Khazrak given he’s mentioned directly in the blog with Boris, even if it’s something as basic as a quest battle for Khazrak and one for Boris.For wanted features it might be cool if between Boris and Karl there was a way to contest the seat/defend the seat of the imperial throne as that’s relevant to their lore. Volkmar could have a more active campaign focused on stopping Naggash and the mortarchs from collecting the books of Naggash more specifically with a new mechanic that allows him to teleport or battle with them more often. This could also apply to many many lords, but some kind of rivalry mechanic or menu option which makes it so canonically rival lords either get more buffs or have chances to respawn during a campaign with a big army making them a threat for the whole campaign.
>>577414520Hows the Linux performance?
>Empire got hunting hounds before BretonniaLolLmao
>>577415409My friend literally does this. He has a twitch and a youtube that he just bots some viewers for and then just sends the watch time metrics to companies and gets free games. This is 100% true by the way, they shit out these keys and will give them to anyone who can show "proof" they're a content creator. 0 research is done. My friends videos have like 100 views that are just bots watching the whole thing and he shows off his metrics and they pass him a key.
>>577415459Oh and you absolutely CAN'T skip on Grim and the Grave. Essential to play the game at all you see.
>>577415554GW has been giving Empire shit that belongs to Bretonnia since 6e
>>577415554I dont think CA even remember Bretonnia exists at this point. The whole faction still needs a rework that is now guaranteed to never happen.
>>577415554>Empire got reskinned warhounds as paid DLCLolLmao
>>577415591Your friends with costingaming?
>>577415615I unironically enjoy corpse carts.
Neferata's hat is fucking massive.
>>577414520They should get to work on a MTW2 remaster or just a more stable version of Empire.
>>577413313Wait for the inevitable Valten DLC
>>577411281>who is the blonde woman?That's the amazon from Diablo 2.
>>577415963The bigger the hat the bigger the power
>>577415554Pretty sure Wood Elves had hunting hounds even before Bretts
>>577415187Markus Wulfhart is the most skippable because War Wagons and Archers are meme units.Volkmar's Free company and Flagellants are decent sidegrades for dealing with vampire counts type enemies who like to disrupt your Crossbows or terror route your front line. Not strictly necessary though.Elspeth gives you Handgunners+, steam tanks-, and Knights of black rose which are probably the best horse cav for the empire right now. But I expect the Knights of the White wolf to have a similar power level so you could probably just get the Boris DLC and be fine.You don't really need any of them but they are fun to have.

Karl is already elected. You don't do re-elections in the Empire, and besides that, Toddy already gave up and conceded that Karl is a better leader anyway.While we're at this though, I do wish they give Karl that shield from the OoD trailer... Toddy looks fucking cool with his.

>>577416330The Warhammer Amazons are too busy fucking Saurus iirc
>>577415554Maybe because Empire actually got Hunting Hounds as real unit in at least 2 army lists while the Bretonnian Truffing Hounds are only part of the lore and never were playable ?And i'm saying this as a TH for Bretonnia apologiste

why tho
>>577417980The same book's tables show a lot of vampires not being weak to sunlight, silver, or other things they're commonly weak to, then has another table saying elder vampires sometimes get over the weaknesses just by being so cool.It plays all angles.

>>577412281Empire humiliation ritual, they need to lose all identity.Ulric blessings are going to include a "if you overheal an ulrican unit, this blessing can resurrect dead units."
I'm a bit surprised for a company that shamelessly reskins old units for their dlc's, CA chose not to use the Skinwolves or even the Tigermen models to have Children of Ulric be recruitable as part of the Cult of Ulric roster.I'm guessing they didn't want to spend budget rigging in new idle animations to make them distinctly less savage appearing than their Skinwolf counterparts.
>>577412458Never thought I'd say this for a Thag, but we must avenge this wrong
>>577412080Empire already doesn't use swordsmen because Free Company and Archers exist. This is a pack filler unit
>>577418797Children of Ulric never had WFB rules, only WFRP rules
>>577415554They should throw them the scraps in the same way Beastmen get to feed on every Chaos DLC
>>577412458This is extremely on brand for Thanquolanon to spend his entire life working towards a goal only to be cucked at the last second by people who dont even know he exists
Which faction got the shitiest unit/character lineup in the DLC?
>>577418797Ulricans are anti "Children of Ulric".
>>577418797I'm glad they didn't Cathay is way worse now it's been gradually turned into fucking monstermashPlayed some snikch a while back and it was just hordes of weird tigers and flapping lions and shit, I wanted to dismantle a human empire
>>577419123Dude he's only been doing it for seven years AND he is getting his character in the game
>>577419264Im so sick of monster mash slop. Norsca ruined two of my campaigns back to back because they started doomstacking cursed ettins. Theres no tactics in monster slop armies, you just get stat checked.
>>577408686It's actually $30 for all of them which isn't so bad considering it's 4 of them instead of 2 or 3
>Boris's mechanic is another panel where you buy giga buffs that make your faction overpowered and the campaign unfun.
The caterwauling about the dlc prices really is retarded. Why are the reviews for the tiger dlc 55%? Why would you even buy that dlc unless you really thought it looked like something you want? That is such a straightforward "buy if you want" compared to all other dlc. You're literally not missing out on anything considering it's all OC shit. The pricing and content available really don't matter. It's a live service game, and it's pretty obvious they're not making that much money on the live service or they would be shitting out way more dlc than they have, and they seem to be finally desperate enough to start doing that. Considering there doesn't seem to be much of a limit on what dlc they can do and the license expiring thing appeared to be fake, I think the entire community argument has been stupid. They probably aren't making as much money on each dlc as people think they are and the price hikes were probably legitimate considering the state of games in general. Criticize the company itself for a stupid business model or the devs for the numerous bugs they are incapable of fixing, but the pricing for the dlc is obviously not as much of an issue as people pretend. The ultimate product has definitely been worth it, I have almost a thousand hours in the game and I would've been willing to pay even more per dlc, like $10-$30 extra if that made it possible for them to do more work on the game and bigger fixes to the various problems because I like the game. I understand that the company probably has bloated budget and misallocated resources but I think people should just pay what it costs for a good game. Of course there's no guarantee that if everyone started paying extra they'd make it a better product, but I think it probably is the case that what we have now is about equivalent to what consumers paid for.
>>577408686I only wanted Boris and Nagash so this is fine
>>577419476That's lame too but at least Norsca is monster-coded, Cathay is better as super organized humans with the odd dragon ruler
>>577419638It'll get rebalanced by SFO, it's fine
>>577419690Pretty sure some people buy the dlc to give it a negative review then return it
>>577419638Cmon man we've never had a dlc in tww3 that had good balancing it's all power fantasy bullshit you know this
>>577419638It's ok, post final DLC the overhaul mods will fix all this OP shit>>577419825Fuck you bitch bloody I'm on cooldown

>>577413313>Even when the empire is getting stuff (that people have wanted since WH1 and the beastmen DLC), empire fans are asking why they aren't getting more.You guys are going to be even worse with the guards come 40k.
>>577420301They'll be balanced out by Marines.
>>577420301THEY'RE THE BACKBONE OF THE IMPERIUM THEY DESERVE MORE UPDATES THAN SPESS MEREENS
Neferata may not get her character pack or a shot in the trailer or more than a footnote mention in a blog but she does at least get unique lahmian vampire lords and heroes

>>577420739I will NOT listen to this fat fucking faggot
>>577419869That would be really funny if so but I just don't understand what people expect. Have people not seen what similar dlc models for games like this look like? Have you tried looking at dawn of war dlc prices and comparing inflation and level of fidelity? I really can't think of any company that has a similar level of work involved in each dlc that "does it cheaper" than CA. Obviously they've fucked up a bunch on bug fixes and delays and botched plans like the recent siege ladders rework, but the idea that the dlc got too pricy seems like people just being totally ignorant to the actual state of the economy and games in general. The game industry is totally fucked right now.
>>577416959>reach threat limit>The Beastmen come...>they charge into basic garrison>close victory autoresolve
>>577420858>close victory Beastbros we've been upscaled!
>>577420858If they don't rework the beastmen autoresolve values that's pretty much what it's going to be lmao
how can aos lore be bad when it features morathi impregnating slaanesh (with twins)?
Races of order assemble! We must stop this vermins and start the DOWN OF TIMES!
Has anybody watched Turin's Todbringer campaign he released today and also taken notes and AI-upscaled high definition screenshots and written a small blurb that is then condensed to point-form notation on anything new and interesting yet? If so please share, thanks.
>>577421196Because of that very line you said right there. AoS is just GW getting their knickers in a twist at Slaanesh existing, which is why they tried to remove her at the start and made the great ratfag a chaos god you were supposed to take seriously
>>577421327First fucking thing I do will be to play Tehenhauin with the new Vermintide crisis on and exterminate rats. NEVER ENDING WAR
>>577421421>SHARTurinNAY
Heavily armored warriors with fur cloaks with an animals head resting on one of their shoulders is fucking cool as fuck, and the main reason I'll be getting the Toddy DLC.
>>577421439making slaanesh get pregnant and give birth doesn't really seem like gw's knickers in a twist about him existing
>>5774208121)Sotek is pretty sure we are getting more DLC including race-pack.2)Now all the RoR units / Allies units / Ogres-Camps units / Extended-Roster units etc etc ... (whatever units you can recruit but not from your base recruitement pannel) are also considered/called "Mercenary" units).
>>577421439>they tried to remove herYou fell for the meme.
A Nurgle scum? Bring more salamanders!
>>577421835Slaanesh came back after the people who actually cared enough to follow AoS bitched loud enough
>>577408164booba
>>577422130but the horned rat became a god AFTER that happened
Boris's new units look like some modded units lol
people always talk about how they want to crush the weak but never about how they want to help them be stronger:(
>>577422390It's a community update, so that's to be expected. Most of CA is working on 40k and Med 3.
If the weak cannot defend themselves they deserve to lose everything. Might makes right and dear lord am I mighty.
>>577422390Most of their staff are working on 40k what'd you expect

>>577422542
>>577422023Yeah it was a great meme when Slaanesh was suspiciously absent when Age of Smegmar began and then said the elves had imprisoned and took his power before backlash made GW release Slaanesh from gay elf jail
just watched the trailer, honestly, I don't care about none of the factionstrailer is great though
I've seen seething on the CA forums that Nagash is going to start at the Black Pyramid.
>>577423485Just make it useless without some of his books, easy. Where else would he start?

>>577423843No, he's an upstart faggot who is sexually aroused by skeletons. He's not even responsible for the most damage done by an undead, Mannfred having a melty at being ignored does more damage than Nagash did.

where will thanquol start
where will Boris start
>>577423241>suspiciously absent when Age of Smegmar beganIt's literally in the first rulebook that the elves imprisoned Slaanesh. There was never any mystery or ambiguity about it. The fact was spelled out right from the start.
>>577423843Nah, Emperor's kind of a powerhungry dick, but he ain't *that* much of a powerhungry dick.

>>577413981Flagellants (as a religious movement, not as military troops) are historical.>Other trials where the accused were condemned as Flagellants were recorded as late as the 1480s.[19] So not too far off from the early 1500s aesthetic of the rest of the empire.There was even a case where the pope called them heretics and imposed the penance of joining a crusade against the turks.
>>577425219Yes, CA absolutely hates making money. They are doing their best at trying to make less and are failing at it.

>>577426957Yeah. Separate game mode with separate map. Cut down on all the unnecessary factions, expand certain areas like the Empire, special events that correspond to the timeline, etc. Would be so much more satisfying.

Sotek... Pok pok!
How do I not get caught up in Cathay shenanigans as Imrik? Theres to many assholes that force me to expand east because they refuse to stop harassing me. By the time I kill everyone there Dechala decides she wants my bussy which results in her spamming 578 hetos and parking them in my territory causing massive corruption along the borders to Cathay.
>>577430924CA said no. We probably have at least one more left. They're gonna keep making more as long as people buy them, unless 40K DLC sells so much, its not worth working on anything else. But currently, WH3 DLC is their only source of certain revenue.
>>577431618I do need to watch that film

>>577430924They will shift most of their manpower to 40k and put Fantasy on maintenance mode. Expect small character packs like Bakshiva if any dlcs get made at all.
>>577425967>>577428889>>577426390Looking at the screenshots, it looks like the Death ones have Soulblight and the Shadow one has Okkam's Mind RazorSo debuff all enemies or buff one unit really hard.

>>577427606>Good parts of the end timesThat would just be Storm of Chaos, and GW is still salty about how that ended up going.
Some of the roster choices for this DLC are utterly and completely bizarre.>7 units for Empire>No High Priest of Ulric lord unit>Seneschal of the White Wolf promoted to a lord. WTF?>3 single entity units for Warriors of Chaos>4 legendary NURGLE heroes for warriors of chaos...What in the actual fuck? They are missing a shit load of legendary heroes and they pick 4 NURLGE ones!?>Skaven>Literally downgraded the LEADER of the Skaven into a legendary hero when he is a legendary lord on tabletop. WTF!?
>>577431618>PokWHAT
>>577426064>>577425625Why did they make them ugly?
>>577429539nowhere did i say it was a good thing you retarded niggerbut it is the most popular total war game ever AND cathay sold well enough for GW to add them into their gayaids reboot of fantasy even though it's supposed to be set in not-europe, aka the OLD WORLD
>>577432070I hate when they do a monogod DLC and assign it to WoC but it keeps happening
>>577431908This thing already happened like 1.5 years ago. CA Sofia + a couple of loose Brits laying around are responsible for making WH3 content. There's no more even smaller "skeleton crews".
>>577432130>he doesn't know
They have already confirmed that Monkey King is coming.Marienburg and Dogs of War are also all but certain.
>>577432248Glottniggers are Warriors of Chaos under Archaon though, not much getting around that
>>577432070To much Nurgle faggotry already.Wish we had gotten Engra Deathsword.
>>577432070I really don't get why this community is so autistic about lords/heroes, they both just run forward and smack shit around once you're in the actual battleHell you get Saurus Oldbloods and Scar vets both on Carnosaurs and it's easy to mix them up
>>577430672>lizardmen sieg heilingLizardmen are the Allied forces. They are competent and disciplined. Skaven are the nazis, they are selfish, wicked and greedy morons, also weirdly homosexual.
>>577432184Your entire post is some gay fanfiction about how people will "totally love AoS once it gets a good game" and then you proceed to disprove it with your own example, eat shit.
>>577432447>wow gee why do warhammer fans want to see beloved characters in the gameA riddle for the ages
>>577428909From what streamers have said, what little they've shown, etc, it seems like Nagash isn't near as finished as Thanquol.
>>577432648I was clearly talking about the mentality of the last part
Almost every legendary lord that CA promised throughout the year is releasing with this DLC.>Neferata(FLC)>Thanquol>Nagash>Boris TodbringerPromised by CA but still not here:>Red Duke(FLC with Bretonnia update? Makes sense since he should be able to use some Bretonnian units.)>Li Dao>ThanquolHinted at but still not released.>Monkey King(Literally voice files referencing him in the game.)>Vardek Crom(Teased after Shadows of Change 1.0 blog not sure how he works now that they literally stole his tabletop unit of Flayerkin for this DLC?)>Valten(Literally multiple references to him in game files.)>Dogs of War Lords
>>577432643consensus only started even knowing fantasy existed once it was already deadyou and i both know people are cattle, which is why they like tww3, and we both know that the majority of warhammer fantasy fans have never played the tabletop, but only like the vidya, and tww3 butchered the original setting's lore and yet it sold the best. therefore, once an aos game happens that features the hecking funny skaven or lizards tww3ggers will flock to it, and if it was a total war game even moreso
>>577433174Meant Yin-Yin under promised not here not Thanquol. Sorry.
Isn't Yin Yin dead?
>>577433325>you and i both know people are cattleI have never met an intelligent person who says shit like this
>>577433452It's a firmly midwit opinon

Karl Franz should get an Ascention to Sigmar once the Archaon End Times crisis starts.Yes/No?
>>577433603skaven and liggers aren't in any aos vidya anon
More like sneed guard
So I am assuming the Lahmian handmaidens end time units tied to Neferata are going to be a FLC unit since they aren't mentioned as a unit in Nagash's DLC roster? That was the main unit I was expecting to come with her cancelled DLC so I wasn't surprised to see them.
>>577433672Filipinos are the most powerful race in the world
>>577433770no
>>577433770Lords should be able to die when End Times start. Some factions can get a unique LL only after their previous LL dies.So Sigmar when Franz diesAnd Giles Le'Breton when Louen dies.
>>577434045That can't happen until Bretonnia update in 2029
>>577434045>So Sigmar when Franz diesholy FUARKING kino
>>577432479thats just communism
>>577429769They'd be more interesting if their LLs were something other than 'big fat stinky green guy'.
>>577433909The blog post called it one of the biggest FLC of the series. Presumably smaller than Brettonia, but Neferata will definitely get special vamps and depth guard (hot ladies)
>>577433770No because I wish people would stop pushing this stupid fucking shit that his body was used for Sigmar when it absolutely was not. If you actually read the text ihis body was crushed by the comet so Sigmar could come out of the comet and grab the hammer from Karl's corpse. The only reason Sigmar was even able to revive is because the last piece of soul was retrieved after the deaths of Valten(His literal avatar) and incarnate Franz since that wind of magic was literally part of his soul and had basically nothing to do with Karl Franz and the main reason he smashed right there was to grab the hammer before Glottkin could. Since they can't do incarnates since they downgraded Caradryan into a legendary hero it makes zero sense for Karl Franz to have any ties to Sigmar at all outside the hammer. Karl Franz crushed corpse was literally on the ground while Sigmar was swinging his hammer
>>577434045Wouldnt that just lead people to suicide their LL? For Franz you could just copy the Daemonhood mechanic from WoC but instead allow the player to decide wether he wants to turn Franz into Sigmar.
>>577434045>So Sigmar when Franz diesThat's gay as fuck.The whole Valten/Sigmar plotline was gay as fuck though, it was basically "And then the Primarch showed up" tier.
>>577434045No empire fag wants Sigmar over Karl Franz
From Sotek's stream.Map changes, he said no "opening of the map".But there is some new settlement and reworked province.He showed changes in north Norsca (see pic).Red dots are brand new settlements.
Dogs of war status?
>>577434848Well... then more incentive to keep Franz alive.

i was really hoping for shielded teutogen variant with no armor piercing, damn it
>>577434886Also he spent some time hinting that the "Great Drake's Cave" settlement is a reference to Galrauch *wink wink* and so it might imply something about a specific character *wink wink* and noted that he had previously proposed adding Galrauch as LH for Tzeentch *wink wink*
>>577435381Empire is allergic to good shielded infantry. We still dont have halberds w/shields from the tableslop game.
Sigmar was cool when he was Conan the Barbarian with a hammer, who founded the Empire then mysteriously got up one day, left when no one was looking and ascended to godhood. And thankfully that's the Sigmar that CA has actually represented through the statues ingame.Thor-looking Sigmar who actually got trapped in the vortex for 2000+ years, replaced the popular emperor character, failed to stop Archaon, and then became the namesake of the sequel all OG fans are salty about and created the lamest fucking faction ever seen in tabletop gaming fucking sucks and I don't want him anywhere near my fucking videogame.
>>577429769It's amazing that Nurgle has been trodden into the ground so hard that Khorne is more interesting than him
>>577435506i really don't get it considering their ranged focus, and what's the point of greatswords now? they were already shit before this dlc and now they're simply pointless
>>577435539Conan Sigmar who is actually a Primarch who fucked off and the Emperor said "yeah let's not touch that world again" was the best Sigmar.All of the new shit existing just to retcon that is gay.
>>577435539I swear, sometimes I feel I might have actually been able to get into Age of Sigmar if it wasn't for how fucking repellent the Ground Marine- sorry, the STORMCAST ETERNAL, are.
>>577434898Coming at some point
>>577435558It's the cycle, Khorne suffered the same in the 00's when he was so overused we got Khornate sorcerers, I feel like the nurgle era hasn't been as bad as that
>>577435458BasedEgrim fags go homeOr be happy that he still has a chance. Either way I'm winning
>>577435804I feel like the Nurgle era is worse, because like Nurgle it has been going for what feels like over a decade at this point with nothing actually interesting being born from it. Just the same old shit.
Uh oh, vegans melty incoming.
>>577435770AoS is an interesting mix of some amazing and stupid shit. With some of the cool shit just being updated Fantasy stuff
>>577436163I didn't know my sperm had opinions.
>>577436295AoS is lame by default for making the dwarfs into cringe steam punk libertarians rather than keeping the actual dwarf aesthetic.
>>577436163Wonder if CA will bother updating how the necrachs look at all for this update
>>577434898Full on hopium right now.
>>577412458>ratfag betrayed by other ratfag (reddit)pottery
>>577434898Literally higher odds then ever before the empire literally skipped of wizard lords again. Obviously saving them for Dogs of War.
>>577415073time ever since 2020 felt like fast forward mode. I miss the end of the 2010's, those were best years of my life and I know I'll never feel as good ever again
>>577437036The 2010's were shit.
Bringe the lube!
>>577436295>With some of the cool shit just being updated Fantasy stuffYeah. I look at the factions and there's actually stuff to be liked there, for example I like most of what they did with the greenskins, I like the concept of the sea elves, and I find Alarielle's new faction of I-can't-believe-they're-not-Wood-Elves has some really cool models.But then they also have cringe shit like >>577436705 and worst of all, again, the fucking Stormcast Eternal. I despise them so fucking much. I really hate them with a passion, they're SO fucking lame, and regrettably, they're the protagonist faction and the one splattered front and center of the setting. I can't believe Sigmar got such a fucking kino human faction going on the first time with the Empire and then shat out that corporate shareholder-pleasing abomination that just tries to imitate Space Marines, and not even well because even if they were genuinely a stand alone concept they'd still look fucking awful while Space Marines can look cool.There's also the Cities of Sigmar faction, which... I dunno, I look at them and it feels like a perverted version of the Empire. Their aesthetics are like the visual representation of renaming everything to "duardin", "aelves", "ogors", "orruks", etc.
>>577437036The Wuflu really fucked us up. Every time I look at a game I remember playing recently it says I haven't even opened the game in 2 years.
>>577435458>Also he spent some time hinting that the "Great Drake's Cave" settlement is a reference to Galrauch *wink wink* and so it might imply something about a specific character *wink wink* and noted that he had previously proposed adding Galrauch as LH for Tzeentch *wink wink*
>>577437008They skipped wizard lords because it took them 10 years to finish wizard heroesIt's too much effort for CA to do new wizard models for all eight lores and we'll never have them unless you use mods
>>577436163>>577437289I hope she has a sexy voice like Khalida.
no rework for Clan Pestilens? they're so underwhelming...
>>577437684Morr yes please.Don't go shy on giving her a fantasy egyptian accent, CA.
>click on Lahmian Vampire Hero on the map>"Shall we play ?"
>>577437613at least we get bespoke wizard models instead of the same model with 8 different colors like the elves do.
>>577434898inevitable
>>577437836Some of the units Sotek commented on his stream were related to Pestilens. There's a chance they might get stuff. It is kind of silly how currently your options to make a Pestilens army are plague monks, plague catapults, the end.
>>577437684Her voice lines in the Sotek stream seem pretty decent, same with the Lahmian Vampire
>>577412458well that's because CA hates 4chud and loves plebbit

This is my prediction for the last DLCs.Tzeentch character pack:>Egrimm(Literally confirmed by Richard Aldridge himself as coming.)Dogs of War Race Pack>Pick 4 lords>Red Duke(FLC)Wood Ef character pack(Richard Alridge in the end of year video last year literally said Wood Elf DLC would be coming.)>AralothCathay CoC style DLC>Monkey King(Unused voice files in game)>Li Dao>Yin-Yin>Mung the Brutal(Literally the only missing part of Lords of Shang Yang)Dwarf character pack>Joseph BugmanNorsca vs Empire>Vardek Crom>Valten>Kurt Helborg(FLC)
>>577437836>Clan Pestilens>they're so underwhelming...Yeah. They're one of the most boring factions I've ever played. Very weird, considering how thematic they could be.>>577438032>It is kind of silly how currently your options to make a Pestilens army are plague monks, plague catapults, the end.Do plague monks even have poison attacks?
>>577438032Big if true

>>577438330>Egrimm(Literally confirmed by Richard Aldridge himself as coming.)>Wood Ef character pack(Richard Alridge in the end of year video last year literally said Wood Elf DLC would be coming.)
>>577437519Implying that Galrauch will be added to the game, but he doesn't actually say it, so CA can't get mad at him.
>>577438450>>577438583Plague Monks lack poison attacks because you're supposed to use your Plague Priests to give them Poison attacks. Trust me it makes more sense this way.

>>577438330mini-Archaon!
>>577439408Neferata sounds way too old she was supposed to be in her early 20s when she became a vampire.

>>577438330>EmpireDon't you have enough already?

>>577439408Pretty good.Holy fuck bros I can't believe it, she's finally coming home. I haven't been ritualposting about it or anything but you have no idea how long it's been since I last played vampires utterly convinced she was about to drop any day now.
>>577440070Well Lord Mortkin makes way more sense but they refuse to do him even though he is an 8th edition lord and put an in game monument to say he is dead. Plus they turned the only other Kurgan character into Norsca so I guess Crom has to go there since he is the leader of Kurgans. He would make way more sense in Warriors of Chaos since he is the second in command of chaos in the End Times and Storms of Chaos but Glottkin stole his flayerkin units from his tabletop army from Storms of Chaos.

>>577440508So you want to have like 13-14 LLs for the Empire alone?
>>577440659Now fight Chosen
>>577441015yes
>>577440904I hope they never fucking touch Valten because he's an abortion of a character.Also aren't Sisters of Sigmar canonically a heretical cult that died out like 300 years ago because Mordheim was where they were based?
>>577440516The Fay Enchantress, Alarielle, Repanse, death hags, and the vampire heroes don't sound old.

where the hell does the empire get all of these grizzled, bearded men?
>>577441075Sisters of Sigmar are based in Altdorf in 8th edition lore in the time of Karl Franz. Still very much around.
>>577441310They just got older. Duh.
>>577441321British Summer Time ends on October 25, 2026

>>577440659This doesn't mean much because the campaign buffs for greatswords are awful
>>577441328Mostly the northern parts of the empire where the Norscan blood has been raped into their bloodlines over and over again.Southerners of the Empire tend to be smaller, less hair, and more inbred, unless they're from the Southwest, then they're bimbos.
>>577441321It's like the first day of Autumn, I can forgive them that.
>>577441650Empire fags will really never be happy until Greatswords beat Chosen
>>577441328Human women x Dawi men>Empire has tons of widows from all the men dying in wars>Dawi has 10 men for every dwarf woman
>>577441380Huh, my bad, I thought they were gone.But I only want Sisters of Sigmar if we get an Empire vs Khorne DLC.That way it can be Sisters of Sigmar vs Brass Sisters.
>>577441768You have a decent infantry killer in a game where your enemies will mostly spam monsters and cavalry though
>>577441768>>577441650I think Greatswords are fine ish. Although +2 MA/MD wouldn't hurt... The special Stat Troop ones are particularly good. Very fun vs undead.
>>577441768they do though, in campaign it's perfectly feasible if you've upgraded them completely and you're fighting a shielded variant
>>577441913>Brass SistersWhat are those?

>>577442525a conspiracy by the world agricultural forum to tame humanitytoxoplasmosis is meant to make you sedentary and therefore taxabledo not eat ze graindo not pet ze catdo not abandon ze hunting-gathering
>>577442617Honestly I've never had Elspeth ever actually help me out meaningfully in my Karl campaigns, she always jobs to Vlad and only barely holds out in Nuln until I confederate her and then defeat Vlad myself. I guess she does delay him enough that I can take down the northern threats.
>>577442471In one of the WFRP books there's introduced a group of women who managed to fight back and kill norscan raiders who were burning/raping their village.They then picked up weapons/armor and started seeking out other members of that norscan clan, slaughtering them and rescuing/recruiting women and girls in villages that they passed through.They then started getting less discriminatory and started murdering most men they came across, and killing some of the women who refused to join their cause.Then they got blessed by Khorne and are a Khornate faction that mostly murders other Norscans but hates men in general.
>>577426064We SFO RADIOUS now
>>577442471Bunch of women from lands decimated by chaos who hate the empire for not helping and kill and practice cannibalism iirc. I don't think they're big enough for a faction though, maybe a regiment of renown for Khorne/WoC
>>577442617Empire AI already dominates most of my campaigns with landship doomstacksI shudder to see how bad it'll be once they have Chosen (Sigmar) and solid cav at all stages of the game
>>577442712And how much hunting-gathering have you done today? Or have you just been sedentary in front of your computer?
>>577442617Will still be hard because Karl's problems are not in the Empire proper. Grom, Kemmler and Ikit steamroll Brets who stuck playing wh1 in wh3.
>>577442759Vlad is overpowered in AI wars to be fair, he hardly ever loses without the player intervening unless things go massively against him somehow
>>577442759>Play an order faction>See the empire is entirely vampires>Play a disorder faction>See the empire is evenly split between Karl and Elspeth with Vlad barely holding one or two settlements>Play a vampire faction>Vlad who?
>>577442617People are still gonna complain that he's too hard
>>577430924no, they won't miss the chance of milking Sun Wukong and Yin Yin
>>577431908>They will shift most of their manpower to 40k and put Fantasy on maintenance mode.The trick is, that WH3 always was on maintenance mode since day 1 so nothing will change, we still get 1 DLC per year
>>577442712I like my cats and baked goods though, so maybe that whole hunting-gathering deal was kind of overrated...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjXami_wGQQNew DLC characters have campaign intros. Glad they brought them back.
>>577443280Didn't it leak out ages ago that they moved basically the entire TWW3 team off of TWW3 as soon as it launched and left only a few members of the TWW2 DLC team on to fix it?Which led to most of them quitting because it was a massive fucking ballache?
>>577443545Yes, and that's why it takes ages for shit that a modder can release in a few weeks
>>577439408I swear I'm not dyslexic, but for a second I thought it said 10 turns of tiddy
>>577438330I would rather have Leitdorf than Valten. Valten sucks.
>>577420585I throw less shade at marines because they are so sectaraian that they dilute their obsession. Since a dark angel fan (I am one) won't give a shit about space wolves (I don't), a space wolf fan won't give a shit about imperial fists, ect. I guess guardsfags do have bitching about Kriegers and Cadians stealing all the oxygen, but they still more directly benefit from any inclusions relative to spess mehreens.>>577423280Nagash is what I've wanted all along so I am happy. Of the remaining three the nurglings feel underwhelming but I feel they are hero focused more than unit focused - like 5 units new relative to ~6 for nagash and I think 7 for Thanquol (or vice versa).>>577441768You start to understand why GW went and made sigmarines with how much those people desperately want space marine equivalent empire units.
>>577443909Shit sucks, but it seemed like TWW3 was cursed to a fucked release ever since we found out that they were basing it off of a pre-potion of speed build of TWW2, so more than half of the changes/fixes in TWW2 weren't in the base game by default.
>Middenland and Cult of Ulric armies in tabletop have 3 lord options betwee them.>Grandmaster, Wizard Lord, and High Priest of Ulric>Didn't get any of them instead got both their hero options.What did CA mean by this?
>>577444021>Since a dark angel fan (I am one)I've heard Dark Angel fans come in two flavors, those who are jealous of the black templars, and those who cope by ignoring stupid shit in the novels.Which one are you?
>>577443420tamed by big farm and felinespathetic, bet you enjoy complex societies, food surpluses, and labour specialisation too you bastard
I thought Ikit was the one who brought down Morslieeb.
>>577444303NTA and I wouldn't even count Dark Angels among my favorite would-play factions, but honestly Dark Angels are just cooler than Black Templars. The only thing that ever stood out to me from Black Templars was the Emperor's Champion mini, and even that got ruined for me when they updated it, the old one was way better.
>>577444229They follow the SoC Middenland army list.
>>577444229Can't really do high priests of Ulric when they made ar-Ulric a legendary hero or he would be under the command of his subordinates. Wizard Lords could be held back for either Dogs of War or they could do a halfling dlc and use halfling version as the wizard lords. I have no idea why they didn't use grandmaster though especially when they could have just done the white wolf version. It would have made sense with two calvary units in the dlc when they are a calvary boosting lord.
>>577435716secondary retard doesn't know this was never even a thing in the first place
They should had added units from the Lichmaster army list instead of these world of warcraft things
>>577419919Gorbad wasn't that bad.
>>577435770they're not all bad
>>577444229Creative Assembly in the Thrones of Decay release FAQ literally said they didn't release wizard lords with Elspeth's DLC because they said they had a more thematic empire DLC for them in the future....Valten? Halflings?
>>577444589Thanquol used uber magic and tech to bring Morrslieb closer to the planet to strengthen skaven magic everywhere.Ikit blew it up because he thought that would kill all of the lizards.Oopsie poopsie.
>>577441768Empire's new infantry in this DLC are better than Chosen so they got their wish.
>>577445387>Ikit blew it up because he thought that would kill all of the lizards.I fucking love him so much
>>577444807Obviously it was never an official thing, but given old WFRP had shit like chainswords and Chaos Marines, and Sigmar's mysterious disappearance, it was a popular fan theory.GW went out of their way to say it's bullshit though.
>>577442617>Karl>Hard after ToDYou're kidding, right? He became a pure ezmode faction in that update.
>Lahmian handmaidens in the trailerDid Creative Assembly mention if this is supposed to be a FLC unit or something?
>>577408306Leave Thanquol bro alone, it took a long ass time but he got his wish, now he can ride into the sunset and bang a hot babe or something
>>577446087iz free yash
>>577446386That's looking pretty grim.
>>577445224>u/Red Were Empire Wizard Lords ever considered for ToD? We know that Master Engineers became the Generic Lord for ToD. I'm curious if Wizard Lords were ever considered by CA, or maybe they weren't allowed by GW. I've seen many content creators post speculation videos for TOD and players speculating on the discord about Empire Wizard Lords with Elpseth, as she would've been a good way to introduce them with the "Gunpowder and Magic" theme for the Empire in ToD.>Sean: They were considered yes, when we build the roster for our DLCs we look at every available option for the culture. We decided to focus on the engineer aspect of the pack to really tie Elspeth's position as the Legendary Lord leading Wissenland & Nuln, its important that we get the theme right when building up the rosters, and there have been times in the past when the units, heroes, lords on offer didnt make the most thematic sense - we are confident that the units added in this pack do make sense for each of our Legendary Lords. In the future though there are other parts of the Empire roster remaining that may have a stronger thematic tie together.
>>577446401Good because I was very upset when Nefata's DLC was cancelled that was my most wanted Vampire Counts unit. Even better they are giving us multiple versions. Thank you for the screenshots.
>>577446087Lahmian Vampire Hero + Lahmiam Handmaidens (2 variants) added along Neferata.
>>577446895Also apparently CA is debating about renaming the default Vampires to Von Carstein Vampire, to make room for possibly adding Blood Dragon, Strigoi, and Necrarch Vampire heroes in the future.
>>577447056I guarantee you they are going to release Red Duke as the Blood Dragon legendary lord as FLC with the Bretonnia update. Probably do a character pack for Zacharias the ever living to have Necrach pack since most of the remaining units fit that bloodline.
>Empire DLC>actually thematic, strong but not gamebreaking units, most units are just sidegrades and promote versatility and fun>every other DLC>literal metafag shit, powercreep everywhere (Skaven even got powercreep slaves that explode on death now), no theming at all its just OP shit thrown togetherIts sad that The Empire is the only race still trying to have a theme unlike the other 3 which is just a mishmash of random bullshit thats strong, doesnt need a theme, they just need OP shit to win. Its good to know Grand Masters and Wizard Lords not being in means we'll be eventually getting them in a future Empire pack.
>>577445553They were using Lasguns in the 80s, back then chaos warriors and chaos marines used the same units. There weren't any primarchs in 40k at the time, that's how old it was
>>577444303I only read one novel or one omnibus and it was the one where they hunt down unforgiven wow that really narrows it down doesn't it. Nah, it didn't stick in my head like the Aiko(?) Rafel some shit Blood angel omnibus with the false sanguinius reborn. To be frank the reason I like the dangles is because more of a goldilocks situation alongside liking the medieval knightly motif. The golidlocks being:>BanglesLove the lore, don't like the melee focus, the offcolor helmets are garish, not big into the nids who they seem to fight a lot (not exclusively).>Space wolvesI really loath viking wank and for a time it felt like they were trying to outdo the smurfs in special snowflake/elite of elite-ism.>Imperial fistsI would enjoy the siege mentality but their color is hideous>SmurfsThey're vanilla - perfectly adequate but nothing really sells me on it>Iron HandsKinda cool but I'm not as big on vehicles.>SalamandersLike the lore but not big on flamethrowers focus.>RavensNot big on stealth.>DanglesEach of their companies has a distinct motif, they are a bit ranged focused as I understand it but not autistically so, they like plasma and I like plasma, I can avoid the bike company.I'm not a really deep fan though. Conversely for traitors I like iron warriors and thousand sons. I have no beef with the black templars but they are more melee focused than I'd prefer, if I recall right new recruits go raptor/melee instead of heavy weapons like in other chapters?
I hate thanquolfagHe wishes he was as soulful as wegh
>>577447450Are we going to pretend that Outriders (Grenade Launchers) aren't one of the most OP units in the whole game? It's trivial to get thousands of kills with one of them against AI vampire counts or chaos warriors.
>>577447725Not DLC, retard, and theyre only ok if using The Bordermen ECST variant, which are broken but come with the downside of exposing yourself to the entirety of Norsca and Belakor
>>577408306Great. Now leave and never return, faggot.
>>577447450>Its good to know Grand Masters and Wizard Lords not being in means we'll be eventually getting them in a future Empire pack.My guess is one more DLC for Empire and probably a halfling character pack. Maybe a FLC LL with the last DLC since the Empire has never had a FLC LL and people have been begging for one for years and they still have plenty of 8th edition lords left.(Marius, Kurt, Lietpold, and Valten)
>>577408306Just got home from work and found out they're finally releasing Thanquol after all this time. Haven't posted here in years because I thought the game was dead in the water but it seems like we finally get one last gasp of fresh skaven musk. Thank you for keeping the faith when those of us faltered friend.
>>577419638>he expected more from The Slop AssemblyKEKAROO
Yin-Yin in 10.0
>>577447450>literal metafag shit, powercreep everywhere (Skaven even got powercreep slaves that explode on death now), no theming at all its just OP shit thrown togetherThis, specially Nurgle getting Chorf siege giants and basilisks
>>577448647I bet this niggash is weak
So Ghark Ironskin DLC odds just skyrocketed by Chaos Ogres not being part of the Warriors of Chaos roster right? Since he is the chaos aligned Ogre lord? Basically guarantees another ogre dlc? We are also missing the Lords of Shang Yang ogre units too even though we got the other content.
Have any of the youtube fags made videos on Nagash or Thanquol's campaigns?
>>577441768You faggots are literally insufferable>m-muh ChosenYou mean the T3 infantry thats been outclassed by other T3 infantry since WH2 and even further outclassed in WH3 by all the newer T4 infantry? How in their own faction, they have things like Aspiring Champions that mop the floor with them? How every monogod faction besides Tzeentch has their own better options and Tzeentch doesnt even want them because they benefit better from the other parts of their roster? Blame CA for not making them how theyre supposed to be in-lore but Empire needed T3 infantry to round out their roster, which arent even good enough to handle actual endgame infantry.
>>577448647Woah, a full stack of tier 0 chaff. Im so scared of Nagash right now.
>>577447658>Anon forgot White Scars.Lore accurate I guess...
>>577449153I don't know because I just woke up from a year long coma about 2 minutes ago, but I'd say to check Legend of Total War's channel, he's in the creator program and will definitely have early access to the DLC!
Glottkin starts in north-west NorscaBoris Todbringer starts in MiddenheimThanquol starts south of Sylvania in the mountainsNeferata starts in the Silver PinnacleNagash starts in the Black Pyramid of Nagash
>>577449153Nigash is unfinished in the build the jewtubers have apparently
>>577447450Curious how Empire is much more unfun to fight against than Skaven and Wood Elves right now!
>>577449202>and Tzeentch doesnt even want themTzeentch doesn't? This is news to me.
>>577448647>Vampire Counts mosh pits with VCoast mortars and TKings arrowsThere's going to be some fun shit here.Also they previously confirmed that generic VampLord LLs are gone in favor of Bloodline Lords.Did they say what this means for people with the GRIM and the GRAVE?
>>577449343>settra has to go up against Skarbrand and Nagash in the first 10 turnsJust saw Settra serving. Billions must rise.
>>577448647God, this is so low effort. Back in game 2 days, Arkhan's version of VC units had unique backgrounds, so they blended well with the the TK roster. They just copy-pasted for Nagash, and it looks like an ugly mishmash
>>577449510I feel bad for Mannfred.
>>577449153Pretty sure they were told they could only play Boris currently? I think someone said next week they can play Glottkin then the week after is Thanquol. Then it is supposed to be Neferata and finally Nagash after.
>>577449562because he's bald and short?
>>577449494Lords not LLs.
>>577449512Mismatched unit cards are a peeve of mine. Glad someone else agrees. This is disgusting
So, none of you cocksuckers were gonna tell us that the trailer dropped? Sometimes we regret becoming the leader of /twg/. Most of you should be banned from here.
>>577449343>Nagash starts in the Black Pyramid of NagashDamn!
>>577449512Nagash is horribly unfinished. The trailer barely showing him and his campaign details being "he's an undead guy who does quests" basically confirmed they aren't near finalizing him yet.I fully expect a delay by two weeks.
>>577449492If you need Chosen by Tzeentchs mid or endgame youre playing them entirely wrong, at most you just want the Chaos Warriors to soak up damage while you eventually phase out Pink Horrors for Exalted variants and all their great ranged units like the Burning Chariot and Changebringers who will decimate infantry lines alongside all of Tzeentchs great magic spam.
>>577449617Because Mannfred is going to be surrounded by weak legendary lords and he will have to display his true power.
>>577449512That's your "biggest dlc yet" effort right there.
>>577449510Anything less would be an unworthy challenge of the Khemrikhara.
>>577449512WH2 was just a better game in general, despite all its flaws it wasnt total slop like 3 continues to be
What the fuck is wrong with the textures? Look at the eye, this shit looks worse than a mod.
>>577449962I am unreasonably upset that our LEGENDARY lord Boris sounds like a generic gruff Kislevite Druhzina lord.
>>577450459>Toddy still fights like a WH1 generic Empire General"Biggest DLC ever" feel btw
>>577449512Because they were like 3 or 4 units.
>>577450459Boris will have two separate voices to choose.
>>577408164>no PO or corruption rework>No AI fixes>No AR fixes>no diplomacy and resource bloaty>game is still snowbally
>>577450664Isn't this just going to make Vlad more powerful? The miscast will hurt Elspeth badly if Vlad gets this trait which is likely since Thanquol is closest to Vlad and Elspeth.
>>577449682WHO THE HELL ARE YOU
>>577450824None of these will ever happen, enjoy your new bloat and bugs though.
Enticity really is our guy! I hope that he sticks around for 40K.
>>577449296Even GW and FW forgets about them. I think Jaghatai Khan was the last Primarch to get a mini
>>577450824>game is still snowballyThat's every Total War ever made.
/twg/ has only one our/guy/
>>577451127pic unrelated, Heir of Carthage is our guy
>>577451127Picture unrelated.
>>577451034>snowball (good) is the same as snowball (bad)Play a better TW game and youll realize why Slophammer 3 is the bad kind.
>>577450664
HE WIL COME BACK FOR 40kBELIEVE!!!!
>>577451264
>>577451396who, volound?
>>577451540>>577451264>>577450664these traits are kinda lame
>>577451554Volound will never submit to slophammer
>>577451260Are you suggesting that every LL in WH3 snowballs the exact same way? Even the infamous ones like Wulfhart, Settra or Daniel?
>>577451621It's the best that the unpaid intern could come up with, please understand.
>>577451540>only 5%KEKYPOW
>>577451540Another ward save trait is nice
>>577451621I prefer these to op power creep traits. And its not like they're too weak either.

>>577451264>>577451540A good reminder to install the defeat trait manager mod.
>>577451842I hope Kemmler can get Krell back after Nagash steals him
>>577451914They will make at least 2 Character Pack DLCs after End Times. If those sell well then we are sure to get more content.
>>577451914Yin-Yin sounds almost as dumb a name as Moon Moon
>>577451914None of these are releasing, they are axing the game as soon as they see the sales for this DLC.
>>577451914>>Wood Elf DLC(No lord specified just Richard Aldrige announcing it in the year in perspective video casually.)Be Naieth be Naieth be Naieth Araloth is so fucking lame he's like the single lamest elf in the entire setting be Naieth be Naieth be Naieth.

>>577452343Lead director of all 3 warhammer total war games, warhammer 40k total war, and Shogun 3 total wart.
>>577452568Why does he have a skaven rune on his buckle?
>>577452623Wait did Red Duke always have a defeat trait or is that new? I know the total war forums is expecting him as FLC when the Bretonnia update happens but is it soon?
>>577452828Its new
>>577452864>>577452623Do you know what this means?
>Bretonnia updatelol, lmao. Good one, lil bro.
>>577451540what is boris defeat TRAIT
>>577451127How will I know which units are good without his tier lists
>>577453046Boris doesnt lose
>>577453046He can't be defeated. His basic infantry have chosen-tier stats
>>577453046Your lord loses an eye.
>>577451914the next character pack will be egrimm.the next dlc will be naeith vs monkey king with araloth flc.the voice lines for monkey king in the game files heavily imply he is coming with wood elves and duruth victory objectives mention monkeymen ties to wood elves,,,naieth makes sense because a lot of the missing wood elf stuff is magic related and they are missing the lore of athel loren which she can use
Team Goblin or Team Orc, /twg/?
>>577441768Eh, I think Greatswords are kinda ass but I never want them to stand toe-to-toe with Chosen. I just want them to hold the line better, that is literally it. They feel too squishy. I am fine with the Empire relying on gunpowder, artillery, and magic to generally deal with foes but I just hate that they don't have a core of infantry that won't rout like fucking pussies.Overall I think Empire are fine though, they have enough power creep DLC lords that they can keep up.
>>577453046>>577453134>>577453185>>577453210
Middenheim will become the Deserts of Khazrak once the End Times are through.
>>577452164What is it that you don't like about Araloth? Is it that the fact that he is literally Asuryan with amnesia or that he rides dragons or the fact that he survives the End Times?
>>577453337We'z gobbos
I don't have a particular Space Marine chapter I like. I got introduced to 40k through Dawn of War Platinum Edition from Bestbuy, and so you'd think I have an affinity for the Blood Ravens or whatever but not really. I just think Space Marines are cool. So are Orks. And Guards. Even Eldar are pretty sweet. The only factions I played that I thought were lame were the Tau because they just look like Gundams. I guess Dark Eldar felt a bit tryhard when I played Soul Storm but I didn't like Soul Storm very much, I don't know if it was made by the original DoW team, because it was sold separately from the Platinum Edition which was kinda bullshit.
>>577452974>>577452828100% new.You can check on your game right now, Boris (empire) and Red Duke don't give a defeat Trait when killed.
>>577453947>The only factions I played that I thought were lame were the TauExtremely based take, only retards think theyre cool
>>577454220then how can we kill them?
>>577454383Start as Kazrak for killing Boris, or Louen for killing Red Duke
>>577454303They felt very, very blatant in their appeal to the Eastern market. It is like "Here guys, we made super Gundams that are also the goodest guys ever who want to ally with everyone and include everyone in their perfect happy society and they're the most technologically advanced race ever :)" It is like they don't fit the setting at all.I have not kept up with modern lore, but from what I understand they tried to make Tau more grey but that just kinda defeats the purpose and makes them even lamer because it feels like a kneejerk reaction. Is there anyone there who actually cares about the Tau? Or is it all cynical?
Since Red Duke is literally the last unplayable lord promised by CA since Warhammer 1 I am sure he will be FLC with the .1 update alongside the Bretonnia/Green Knight rework. Maybe they will throw in Abhorash as a FLC legendary hero for Bretonnia and Vampire Counts.
>>577452668Honestly, I have no idea. I actually don't hate duardin in it's own right - it has a pretty good mouthfeel and isn't just 'lol phonetically the same but spelled stupidly', which is admittedly kino for orks but dogshit for most others. But as you say, Dawi is a Warhammer original. It's not even copyright despite what people say - GW doesn't copyright any of the race names, they only copyright the faction names. I'm pretty sure it's for search engine optimisation, but like, Dawi already was a warhammer original and shows that when you look it up. They have a bizarre thing of the AOS dwarfs having a lot in common with Fantasy dwarfs - more than AOS elves - probably because they still worship Grungni, Grimnir, Valaya, etc. Their language is still called Khazalid, and they still live in Karaks - except for the ports (both the sea ports and the sky ports) are called Baraks, just like fantasy. It's all very confusing. I'm guessing they probably chose the name change early on, and stick with it just to try and save face. Kind of like how despite the SEO and copyright stuff, they still went "oh yeah, they're called orcs!" again when Old World came out. The funniest part is there actually is a copyright thing for Dark Elves - Marvel has a dark elf character named Malekith, and so for AOS Malekith got renamed Malerion. And now that Old World is out, he's called Malerion in Fantasy too, lmfao
nobody talks about the blue duke
>>577454685How is Duardin even pronounced?Do-Ar-Din?Dwar-Den?D-U-Ardin?
>>577454798Dwar-Din
get the heck off the stairs, you're not allowed
>>577453731It's the fact he was canonically a useless neet until Lileath gave him a cool dream, moment from which he proceeded to do nothing for several centuries as he doubted whether the dream was even real or not, stood around like a useless cuck while Ariel almost corrupted herself on Morghur's jizz and he just sat there going "Oh no :(" until Adanhu actually helped by giving his life, and then in ET the final great resolution to his riveting and admirable storyline is that Lileath tells him to move her furniture to her new apartment and he fucking gets found out by Be'lakor and dies offscreen, I don't know what balls are you tripping on that he survived ET when ever the very small possibility that Lileath's haven did somehow go undiscovered still doesn't save him as he got ambushed on the way.
