Imagine going to vacation here with your dwarf family knowing you're surrounded by fellow dwarf bros in the mountains cozyyy
Thanquol soon, friends!
>>578960831Seealpsee in switzerland?Been there with my fellow bois.
It looks fine, warhammer is already casualbabby shit anyway. Being able to have units move without a general is already making me care about it.Just need to not have stupid easy replenishment now
>>578960878swiss are dwarfs?
>>578960928I live here, 1.2km above sea level, on hills and surrounded by mountains. Seems very dawi.
Will Total War 40K have interfaction alliances?
>>578960998Did he lose his other arm too?
>>578960831Cragmere is in another Province ?I always hoped they add a 4th settlement to IE "Black Water", allowing us to go around the lake.
>>578960831I am so worried about how long this map is going to take to update once 8.0 comes out.
Can you deploy an entire chapter of 1000 marines in a single battle
>>578960878>my fellow bois
>>578961176"black mounds" this mod has a shitton of settlements
The Savior of Total War series
>>578961397Yes, me and the bois>
Mice here, still collecting questions for Gamescon.
Kinda cringe that the only incarnate elemental we got is beasts. Really thought they would have dropped death in at least.
>>578961547MR. ADVERTISER GET DOWN
NAGASH HAD NO JIVE!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgf7qGE9IR8
fought thes fuckin vamps for so many turns that all my chars are almost lvl 50 from fighting vamps alonehave a huge wood elf empire to fight after this then some beastmen then marineburg old world campaigns are p long just to unite the emp
Kinda cool that the only incarnate elemental we got is beasts. Really feared they would have dropped cringe like death in too.
>>578961547Thanquol status?
>>578961547Bretonnia update ?Next DLC (small character pack or bigger) ?Race pack ?Siege rework/8.1 date ?Gotrek & Felix for Teclis and Khalida ?
>>578961547Well, an anon already asked about exodites and that was my biggest question, so... ask if the faction customization options will include more aesthetic details than just coloring. Like how Space Marine 2 has cool accessories for the different chapters or maybe getting more Imperial Guard regiments than Cadian standards.
>>578961547do you mean to ask CA or what? if so please bring up the fact that the lighting is extremely ugly in 40k and that there shouldn't be such strong color filters depending on the planet it fucks with the aesthethics and makes it less pleasant to look at than any other TW
>>578961614Male nipples are ok I think.
>>578961547Is the Deathwatch part of the customization ?
>>578962087They'll probably sell the more unique subfaction looks as dlc. Either just skins/accessories for, say, some guard regiments, or whole ass subfactions like the Wolves.
>>578962470I figure they're going to be a separate faction, since the Deathwatch can't just get a chapter-like narrative for the campaign.
>>578962087NTA, but we know it's bit customization too. You can see it even in the very first trailer and on a steam page showing that pic with marines and dread in different variationsMost likely they will be locked to what they have in kits though, at least initially. Mod to simply unlock all helmets and stuff for everyone will most downloaded one for sure
>>578962751If they're really going for a live service angle, adding tons of unlockable cosmetic accessories is probably guaranteed.
>>578961547Ask how they plan to implement Imperial Agents because I want my assassins.
Skin wolves still trash?
how do you reveal the map in wh3like bretonnia is revealed but i have no idea why do you need to be trading for a while? some factions I'm trading with but they're still not revealedwhich treaties give vision?
Invader ATV soon, friends!
>>57896356540kart double dash, my beloved
>>578963565What was GW thinking when they designed this stupid thing?
>>578963349Alliances give vision.Elves get vision through trade.In some mods, certain buildings give vision, or give elf trade vision.Some times heroes/lords get expanded vision which is great, but also annoying because you can see shit, but if they can't see you you can't start diplomacy with them yet.
>>578963943all i have is non-agression + mil accessi guess non agression gives it?
>>578964045NAPs shouldn't.Googling says 3 changed it so High Control gives you vision into other provinces.
>>578963004They've always been good
>>578960998Is this a good ending or bad ending?
What is, without question, the shittest unit in the game?Im honestly tempted to say those spiders you get when you use the spawn ability for the ragnarok. They never fucking do anything.
What dwarf LL do you guys find the most fun? Trying to figure out who I should play. Malakai is off the table, I really hate his start position
>>578964331Bloated corpsePistol deck droppersMan Coast sucks
>>578964331Cathay balloon.
>>578963814
>>578964280Bad.Wraithguard are barely aware of their surroundings unless a Spiritseer is there to direct them, in which case they're basically lobotomized. Most Craftworlds view using them as abhorrent and disrespectful, and as such deploying them is reserved for the most dire "If we don't win we're all dead" situations. Some Craftworlds won't even do that since it's considered outright necromancy.
>>578964331skavenslavesclanrat superiority
>>578964331But shitty by what standard? Overall weakest or strength/utility for cost/army slot.>>578964456I highly disagree with bloated corpse being bad, it can carry vs stronger armies if you get a good setup. Either killing elite infantry or a blob early game. It's bad late game in a general army, but if you need aomething in a pinch, it's great
The big twist is that Septym is Chaosmanii. At the end of the starting campaign you kill him and Your Guy™ replaces him as Chapter Master.
>>578960831reminds me of that huge comfy lake in hillsbrad in wow
>>578960831What mod?
>>578964940never rly got into WoW since i dont like mmos but the dwarf starting region in that game, wow dwarfs are the masters of cozy>>578965014old world
>>578964719Being inefficient or shit at what they are meant to do.
Ambushes still in 40k?

Total War would never work with ranged combatTotal War would never work with single entitiesTotal War would never work with magical abilitiesTotal War would never work with flying unitsTotal War would never work with multiple different entities per squad
>>578962739You can absolutely play Deathwatch has a chapter (but yeah they may keep them for later as a unique faction/race)
>>578965670>ranged combatbeen a thing since the very first game... and in every game since>single entitiesyeah those suck>magical abilitiesyeah those suck>flying unitsthose work>multiple different entities per squadwhatever
tacticalmanii
>>578962832People meme about an endless amount of Space Marine subfaction dlcs, but the only Marines with unique content are Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves and Black Templars. All others are a token named character and a cosmetic upgrade sprue and sometimes single unique gimmick for rules. Grey Knights do not count as Marines since they have everything unique and different and are the most forgotten faction in setting which didn't get shit since their introductionBut releasing functionally a slightly bigger cosmetic dlc for them (and other factions like them) which in an addition to an additional bits and skins would have a unique named character, unique trait(s) and maaaaybe even dedicated minicampaign is believable imho. Hell maybe they could even get a single unique unit in here, made out of desperation by scavenging footnotes, like they do with Drakenhoff Templars. Ulthwe has Black Guardians, which are a just fluff and not an unique model, but CA could make them into a separate unit same way. Blood Ravens were mentioned, in fluff only as far as I remember, having a unique 3 man squad of very weak initiate Librarians too somewhere.
>>578961547Plans for a Warhammer Fantasy 4 definitive edition?
Total War would never work with H-scenes
I hate that by the time I get a tier 5 building, I am almost done with my campaign
>>578965976Just build all growth/money buildings.
>>578965196In campaign, peasant mob. They break too fast without motale support and most importantly they take up a peasant economy slot and take a turn to recruit. Why would you ever get them over MAA who are also cheap as fuck, but miles better than peasant mob
>>578964331Quarellers 2H have no place in any army
>>57896597640k will fix it
>>578960928>Rich>Live in mountains>Love digging tunnels>Value adhering to rules and remember social infractions>Used to be daily drinkers and love beerSeems pretty dwarven to me
any good cheats that give more battle maps, bring more of them from wh1/wh2, or fuck it, settlement battles but without tower/barricade slop so that i can fight on something thats not an open field?
Warhammer 3 was bad, witness true Total War!
>>578961743Thats one of the things I like in Old World. In normal IE if a faction isnt "forever ally" (like you as Empire doing diplomacy with dwarfs), you pretty much dont want to engage in diplomacy since starting NAP/trade is 10 turns + 10 more turns after cancelling it, by which time you would have finished your other already-warring opponents and could be taking over this NAP-faction as well. Since Old World takes longer and traversing your empire to defend against surprise war can easily be 10-15 turns, its often a lot more beneficial to maintain tenuous diplomatic ties with most factions.
Nobody else mentioned it, but I see that planet has that circle around itNo doubt this is where you can station your fleet and interact with other fleets, a zone of control of sorts
>>578966516true, I'm playing friendly w marineburg cause don't wanna war emthe empire just feels massive in old world, in base you can march through it in about 5 turns or so I think think it's supposed to be much bigger than irl europe
>Playing Guard, fighting Orks>Marines show up and start giving demands for moving armies>All of them are terrible moves and would get entire detachments wiped out>Eldar show up on the planet>Almost instantly get an event from them>They sent Howling Banshee feet picts>Tells me to wipe out the Marines and they'll send more pictsWhat do
>>578962891What do you mean? Like heroes in Warhammer 1-3.
>>578961547Will we get the dogs of war race pack so that Tilea and Estalia can finally stop being an embarassing placeholder after ten fucking years
>>578964442Depends on what you like- Ungrim has meme slayer stack and pretty easily defended starting location- Thorgrim is absolute shitshow with enemies all around- Thorek has machinegunner Quarreler ranged stacks
They still need to show gameplay of:NagashGlottkinNeferata
>>578967095don't forget grombrindal megabuffing iron drakes
I'm trying to watch no comment gameplay and I like how game sounds. Ambient in particular feels very fitting. But holy shit this Cody Bonds literally who is so SHIT, it's downright painful to watch. Meme game journo tier. Guy struggled for a few minutes how to use and draw direction of an air strike Jesus Christ FUCKBeta fucking when, I need to try it myself
>>578967296hahaha yeah I saw that, cunt sat there bewildered at how the air strike worked and couldnt find the button to repair the land raider on the campaign map. Games journo level of idiocy
>>578965976That reminds me of a hypothetical fix I had, what if you remove growth buildings from the game, and make every faction start a t1 settlement, then when a certain amount of turns pass, it automatically upgrades to the next tier and so on. All newly captured settlements have a settlement tier matching the turn number.I'm thinking:Turns 0 - 10 T1Turns 11- 20 T2Turns 21- 35 T3Turns 35 -50 T4Turn 50+ T5Saves time on managing settlements and makes it so you get to use your good units before you get bored. The tier/turn settlements thresholds might need some adjustment but you get the idea.
>>578967296bullets etc need to be more punchy, but ez fix i guess
>>578964442Malakai, unironically. Just don't conquer more than starting pos and Hell Pit and sack the shit out of your neighbours with Malakai and a Gyro stack while you get your Deeps up and running in Kraka Drak.
>>578967442Yeah gonna be waiting on that sound/impact mod. And the lasgun vfx fix.
>>578964456>Bloated corpseNah they're good.They're cool and they fuck the enemy up nicely if you use them correctlyI agree with the bit about the basic deck droppers though.
>>578966743Like most fantasy settings Warhammer Fantasy is designed with "europe is the part of history we know most about, so let's make it BIGGAH"Which does make for a more fun game simply because there's so much going on there, as opposed to doing stock/standard things due to not knowing the other parts of the world.
>>578967014I mean, ideally that's how I'd want them, but I'd still like to know whether they'll be there for all Imperium factions (so you can slot them in with IG, Sororitas, etc. maybe not SMs and Admech because those aren't the type to ask for assassins) or if they'll actually make an Imperial Agents faction like in tabletop (which fucking sucks and is a half-aborted faction more suited to be combined with the others as allies than actually being an army on it's own).
>>578967850my fav parts of the map are empire > the mountains directly east of empire where thorgrim is > cathay > not-africa (i legit forgot the name of that continent, southlands?) > lustria > naggarond > ulthuan > badlands shit between empire and cathay (ugliest part of the map imo)
>>578961428I can't take this image seriously, the emperor mogs him so hard.
>>578964442It actually is Malakai. Listen to what the other anon says and his start position becomes not good but still bearable. He's the dwarf that most depends on the Deeps.
>Get a short campaign as Aekold Hellbrass (mod)>Can't be assed doing the long victory cuz I cannot be arsed chasing Nagash booksFug
>>578962832>>578965851Just look at Space Marine 2.
>>578967481>>578967995I see. Every time I played him I always start by rushing Hell-pit, I think where I fuck up is expanding further once I try to clean up Norsca, I end up getting attacked from so many direction's that the whole campaign just turns into a giant game of whack-a-mole>>578967095Thorek could be fun, what do you think about his starting pos?
>>578968158>there's no dads on Fenris
>>578968367Well duh the All-Father sits on Terra.
2 volleys enough to annihilate an ungor unitlove these dudes
literally me
>>578968745what 2 volleys did to a gorherd or whatever
>>578961547ask them if the Steel Legion is in or if they're going to force us to play the War for Armageddon as the cadiacucks
>>578968338Yeah the biggest mistake you can make with Malakai, besides starting with the Cannon adventure instead of the objectively superior Gyro one is trying to colonize Norsca. It's just not worth it. Even Hellpit is only worth taking because it's an easy 5 slot settlement that doesn't tend to get much attention in the early game once Kislev factions are back in charge of Kislev.
what are the tweaks for the empire in general
>>578968747I like how all these guvnahs have wires all over their faces. Also I hope the black and white portrait style is ubiquitous across all factions.
>>578965931
>>578961547Ask them if my favorite flavor of space marines will be playable at launch.
>>578968883these dudes p much carried the battle
>>578967963For me it's Empire >>> Mountains around Empire > Bretonnia = Estalia = Tilea = Border Princes (all have cool factors but also boring factors) > Araby/Southlands because I love me some desert but there's just not as much there > Everything else
>>578968886Haven't they already said that the only guard regiment at launch is going to be Cadians?
>>578969050That's not Rance is it?
>>578965931I've seen some stuff on Lovers Lab that tells me otherwise.
>>578969201o yeah i forgot bretonniait looks rly pleasant too
>>578968939Thanks bro. I actually never really utilized the Gyro's myself, mostly due to an aversion towards flying units. But they are supposedly crazy strong right? I don't think I would ever go as far as to make a flying stack, but a a few of them could be fun to use properly I guess
>>578969350
>>578968996not all guvnahs are old guys with wires sticking out of themsome of them look quite beautiful in fact also she's a Slaanesh slut, that's why
>>578968996Unit cards are meant to have colors/features from your customization. Maybe black and white art will show up somewhere else like in tech or something
Just started a game as Karl-Franz, and I honestly haven't played him for years. Any good tips for his campaign? Do I just stick to my home province and then go around helping the other provinces?Maybe I'll take Marienburg for good old times sake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z0C-BtrS58/twg/ is slow today
I hope Glottkin shout "GGLLOOOOOOOTTTTKKKKIIIIINN" when you click them.
>>578969619Hey tbf, she already looked like that before becoming a slaaneshi, and it's not like anyone finds her weird or suspicious for it so it can't be that rare.
>>578969619I could have saved her
>>578969791you rush vlad
I really wish we got Valnir just to have some visual variety to all these fat and bloated Nurgle characters.
>>578969852>that smear during the chaos siege giant segmentholy shit we are getting dlss
>>578969982That makes sense. So I consolidate my starting region, and then I just rush him?
will nagash also have an option to be the endgame? they did not show that
Is there a big mod collection for mod factions/lords? I think I played all the vanilla lords I wanted to play.
>>578969619
>>578970307yes, otherwise he very quicky becomes a painhopefully karak kadrin is still around and you can keep the dwarfs alive to ally with as well
>>578969852>YO HO ME MATEYS
>>578970616man nurgle has so many heroes and legendary lords its insane
>>578969619made for daemonette barbed futacock
is the big scarab the biggest unit in this game? like goddamn
>>578970590Thanks bro! My only worry is how bad the Beast-man problem is, so I wonder if I should build Garrisons in all of my towns
>only lancesNot unexpected but mildly disappointing.>regenerationI hadn't realized they could regenerate. Damn these suckers are gonna be tough.
Okay but why can't I upgrade Ghorst's corpse cart to a mortis engine and have him fly around the battlefield?
WHATI'm not even done unifying the empire 'yet...
>>578970678Yeah, it's mostly just due to Nurgle being both the focus Chaos faction from the End Times and only the Forgeworld WFB book
>>578969852Nagash seems to have a lot of summon abilities on the right side of the screen.
>>578971493>mfw the dlc releases
>>578965670melee combat though? Its completely solved -ACK!
>>578971493nurglejak is real
why does nurgle get so much focus
>>578971631Because.
>>578971493>buried in a sea of nurgling ass>>578971631because the past decade and half has been a nurgle focus from GW
>withholding info on the new spell lore and the mortarch mount statsI don't like it.
>>578965670They were right.
>>578971631Because I have piss bottles and cockroaches under my desk
>>578971631IIRC there's gonna be at least couple new Khorne units in there as well.
>>578971631most marketeable and easy to create
The first faction I'll play is archaon and bring the end times. After that I'll probably uninstall.
>>578971931
>>578971715But that's not a nurgle lord.. he's woc.. the worst faction in the game..
fucking hell he's still here burning his neetbucks on a pass
>>578971631Slaanesh would obviously bump up the age rating of whatever media it's featured in up, which is bad for sales.Tzeentch is hard to do if you want to go full eldritch, otherwise it's lol blue birds.Khorne would displease our satanic masters by looking too similar.That leaves Nurgle as the obvious chaos colour of choice since plagued fa/tg/uys and zombies are easy to do and not problematic.
>>578972746
>>578965851GW is announcing new models together with new units in the game now, expect new units alm around.
>2022 pass user>a fucking newfag paid for this shit just so he could shit up one thread
>>578971631I remember when it was KHORNE RRRRAAAARRRGGHH BLOOD OF THE BLOOD GOD everywhere for a while.
one stacked ass provincethink it can provide every unit
>>578969434Thorek has alright start. To your east and west are Tomb Kings which you counter hard (they have low armor and low AP). South is orcs and lizardmen, north is badlandsbowl. I think its rather easy and open start, although Skarbrand will likely come for you by ~turn 20 (not that it matters since your Quarrelers outright delete him and his demons)
>>578974474>when you see it
>>578971493
>>578974619I fucking hate CA so much.
why are the kislev red line skills so shit
>>578973502I tried make a thread a while back and there was three verifications to do. I can see why the pass appeals.
>>578974474South Bank should also have a harbour, as well it's where the Imperial First Navy is located.
>>578974474If you fight a land battle between "City North" and "South Bank", would it be a countryside battle map or a settlement one ?
>>578974103Yeah but they started censoring because blood is bad for sells in china and you can't get rid of that aspect from khorne
>>578975049no idea but the 2 minor parts of nuln didn't have battle maps sadly, fieldhaven't fought @ altdorf
>>578975071>western games are still trying to get a foothold on the chink market
>>578974763would be so chill to live there if you had an over-the-winds job and didn't have to actively wage
>>578974474Sorry but I always get a horrible allergic reaction whenever I see a settlement without a garrison.
I want the end times now. Although I think it's going to be less cool than we think
is there a mod or a option or something that lets you queue spells? I always cancel mine by clicking another one when the last one is 0.5s to cast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9q12sKsc_4this guy is live playing, you may want to ask him something>>578973442Not really. All Orks except for that one named Warboss are based on old models, not new ones.And honestly it's probably CA who begged GW for Nazdreg so they have a second LL for a different Clan for 40k. This same issue they will have with 2nd Craftworld for which they need a named character too.It's really not worth it in tabletop to make named characters. Take a look even at Primarchs.For Guilliman you have to>Be interested in Marines to begin with>Start that one particular subfaction which are Ultramarines and not any other>This by default means you aren't interested in Lion or any other Primarch>You need to even want to get him in particular, rather than any other HQ, including customizable ones>If you even bother with getting Guilliman it means you will buy him only once, as opposed to Intercessors/Tacticals which you may want to get multipleThis gets worse and worse the further away you are from Primarchs, Marines, let alone if you want to pick a different subfaction for nonMarines. This is why Ultramarines get so many unique characters, they are the most normalfag major faction with the most popular subfaction. They are THE named character faction. It's not worth it to make named guys for anyone else really, hell even making more Primarchs is questionable, because they will be warming shelves. Best use of Primarchs is actually just marketing and generating buzz in the web, since all soitubers will start shitting out videos and keep talking about 40k. Not to actually sell their modelsI guarantee you that Nazdreg wasn't GW's idea. CA asked them to make him and 2nd Craftworld LL so they have 2 LLs for each subfaction in game
God Morghasts are cool as fuck. I think the coven throne is the dumbest fucking thing though.
So how are the slayerkin supposed to wipe their asses? They are still human and take shits no?
>>578974695It's a faithful rendition of the original character design.
>>578971493He seems like a jolly fellow.
>>578975247So, just being a member of the nobility then
The reason why GW has a nurgle bias is because grandfather is obviously the best. Come and be a part of a loving family!
>>578975821They look retarded and look like they belong to age of smegmar or warcraft.
>>578976732Yeah, I think the coven throne is in there.
>>578976679gib me dat
>>578976430why are they all black besides the women. Oh...Do they have spades too?
>>578976679gibs me dat

Nagash if you can hear me, please save me
>>578977896Playing ikit so plague it is, thanks.
why would anyone want to play total war on console?
>>578960612kekarooooooo
these settlements in corners in this mod are so cozy
>>578971590That is unfortunately one of the trade-off we will have to deal with.90% of units have ranged capacity so the guys that are melee-focused are going to have a bit of a challenge on their hands.
>>578964940I don't remember there being a lake in Hilsbrad.But there was one in Loch Modan or Redridge
Imagine a game where the majority of factions can recruit Lothern Sea Guard at turn 1.That is Total War: Warhammer 40,000.
>>578978714the lake is in silverspine forest and hillsbrad, you can only see it when you are in hillsbrad if you go back into the mountains
>>578978649SkavenGreenskinsDwarfsChaos DwarfsBeastmenTzeentchAll agree
>>578978964oh yeah lake lordamere
>>578978818lothern sea guard do not have fire whilst moving
>>578978818most of us have played a standard RTS with ranged units nigga
Whats a good campaign to wet my whistle while we wait for the dlc?I dont think I ever beat aislinn. Is he fun?
>>578978649The end times devastation is gonna look amazing on the old world map.
>>578978649ITS THE MAIN THUNDAH THE STRIKING THUNDAHTHE BIG THUNDAHTHUNDAH MOUNTAIN BABY
>>578979360it's prob gonna be a while before its updated for end times, right?sounds like a lot of work
>>578979349Avoid chaos, undead, and skaven. Ogres would be a good option, or vcoast who get no changes.
>forget to turn off the annoying locations >first one I get is the purple hand
appears out of nowhere and claims a major settlementsighso this is why people say to build garrison EVERYWHERE
so IG- sorry, astra militarium, are gonna be OP, aren't they? they're the shooty and vehicle faction (until tau are released) in a shooty-focused game
>>578980041Is there any faction that won't be OP with the player? dow4 is the only hope for balanced mp.
World class VA with Sergeant Pipspeak at 33:30 (Might be the guard unit, but still funny)https://youtu.be/RRxgI9rNnIY?t=2009
>>578976982No one in that bit of art was black anon
>>578980227i think its suppose to be a grot

>>578980041ye until a bunch of stormboyz get on top of them
>>578980041>No true melee units that we've seen>against melee hordes that are cheaper and can probably replace the losses
Is khorne good?
Just remembered I had some old end times pdfs on hand. Might as well post the character entries for the new stinkers.
>>578981636with a white dot, great even
>>578981772
>>578980227Was that fucking Cartman?
>>578981636No, he's almost as boring as playing vampire counts. The roster is just bland.
>>578981881who are you trying to convince here? me? bwo....
>>578978442Total War will be a great icebreaker for house parties, like Just Dance was in the 2010s.
Are there cute female guardsmen in the game? Not including characters.
>>578982110leff ten ent......
Is this a dump from a TOW arcane journal?
>>578978649Is there any faction with a spawn like this in unmodded IE? I remember Snikch in WH2 had a start like this but that's gone.
>>578982946No.
>>578982946no a WFB end times book
how are putrid blightkings not just plague ogres
So is there still literally nothing for Eldar? Not even a faction painter shot?
Optimus Prime is fucking dead...
>>578983664They're one of the end times units that were obviously just a proto-aos thing, as the name suggests. The tomb king bone angels are worse though.
>>578983747They are blatantly a later addition, just like Cathay was, which is why chinks were only hinted at in a main cinematic trailer (just like Eldar), weren't connected to story about Ursun and were blatantly squeezed in with only a half of their realm into the map
which shorty? I dont wanna expand just chill in my mountain
>>578984058Shame
>>578983664
>>578984423Thorek is the most chill out of these.
>Karl-Franz getting soloed by a generic vampire heroWhat the fuck is this shit
>>578984596Lore accurate
>>578984596>man mostly known for his statecraft gets soloed by super powered undeadWell yeah no shit.
Dechala using marauders only is kind of boring.
>>578984423>Playing Dwarfs before they get their music in an update>Playing Vcounts and Tomb Kings before dlc and update giving them units>Playing Nurgle/Undivided or Nurgle Chaos Warriors before update and dlc reworking and giving them units>Playing Skaven before dlc gives them units>Playing as the Empire before dlc gives them unit>Playing as anyone else before update drops and finally introduces proper and true Endgame
>>578984369That sounds exceedingly accurate given the narragive focus is on Armageddon, which Eldar have zero connection to or interest in besides a single forgotten plot point that GW outright retconned.
>>578980227lolSounds like cartman
>Nurgle and Skaven getting the MOST out of a DLC>againwhy the fuck are n*rgle and sk*ven GW and CA's favored children?
>>578985408Because they actually sell
>>578985539is it because>le heckin WHOLESOME GRANDFATHER actually cares about you!(he doesn't.)and>le heckin evil scheming RATTOS!
>every orc army is pump wagon spam>every chorf army is slave spamI'm playing on legendary, why the fuck isn't the AI doing anything?
>>578985031>endgamebruh I quit by turn 20
>>578985859Legendary doesn't mean the AI gets smarter, it just means it hates you more and has more cheats.
Hol up, CA are making a 40k to compete with Clash of Clans?
>>578985859BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION!
Okay I tried rushing Vlad as the Empire, and I feel like it doesn't really work out that well. He shits out so many stacks, and meanwhile both orks and Beast-men and chaos are all just barreling towards my main province. My economy is nowhere strong enough to support even a minor stack to help defend my settlements.. Not sure if this strategy is meant for something below VH campaign difficulty
ngl getting a little bit excited about TW40k
>>578985859You're winning, isn't it epic!?
>>578986014forced meme, you doomers already moved on to enticity shilling
>>578986146What I do is eliminate khazrak then abandon everything to focus on marienburg. Kemmler will usually be a problem. Give all the extra settlements to brettonia and then you can head off to try and back up elsepth if she's dying. Once end times hits though it'll be even easier.
>>578986168Combat looks to be improved all around, I'm just worried that campaign streamlining is gonna set me up for disappointment if I get too excited.
>>578986395I was initially not feeling the shogun1/med1 reversal to campaign movement, but then I realized this meant that I no longer needed to chase stacks AND it meant I could do actual defensive fronts properly and block enemy movement into my territory and it started to grown on me
>>578986168ok I'm gonna prescribe you a session on /v/, take it twice a day for two weeks then get back in touch
>>578986557Kinda kills campaign terrain though. Which is probably half of why they did it, procedural generation for campaign + overworld map terrain sounds like something they would fuck up a lot.
>>578986753I reckon they simplified movement moreso so the CAI wouldn't shit itself like in warhammer 3 than anything elseI would gladly sacrifice microing ambush success chance in a patch of forest if that meant the CAI is actually mildly competent.But that remains to be seen, if the AI is as shit as warhammer 3 then this is a net loss for sure
>TWH is on the last DLC that anyone will buy>TW40k is mobileslop that looks identical to DoW>Med3 will flop no matter how it's madeIs it safe to say that CA are finished?
>>578987102Yes, short SEGA stocks NOW!
10.0 is bretonnia rework...right frenchbros...?
ITS UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNI9ZujQ754
>>578987231About as likely as elves getting the eternity king malekith for end times.
>>578987353CA and ambition...
TCA.say her name.
>>578987231Absolument, pour la Dame!
Do progress carry between theaters though?
I haven't figured out if this unit is actually good or a waste of a slot lategame but it's rly fun so i'll keep it around regardless
>>578980227>scroll down>all the comments are seething about something or otheris CA cooked?
This shit looks like one of those legally distinct AI generated youtube thumbnails
>>578989490modern horrorslop ghost
>>578963814It's actually a test, they're seeing how stupid they can make something and people still buy it.
>>578989490Is this real? From the actual game?
>>578989490that face you make when the ice witch squirts pus and blood out of her eyeballs
>>578989490HAHAHAHAHAHA
Just found out Peter Cullen died (rip), what lord do I play in his honor /twg/?
>>578989957Karl Franz with these dubs.
>>578989957Tim currys ghost says wait for thanquol.
>>578989669https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z0C-BtrS58
>>578988423Yea, for your factionIt remains to be explained how
I should not have fought this drucha shitwtf expected an ez winnothing is dying
>>578990378Dryads are a meta WE unit for a reason
>>578990378>Amethyst Witch gets SEEDED by angry virile Dryad
>>578990230We know that tech, experience, units, gear, hell even turn count stays consistent and this same through various Campaigns within a TheaterTheater consists of multiple Campaigns and you play through it until the big event at the end which is Armageddon itself for Armageddon TheaterBut I don't recall them saying that any progress carries between Theaters
>>578982574Gutrot Spume should have been a Norscan Lord with a fleet focus and access to Nurgle units. Would have been way cooler. And then just be able to confederate him as any Nurgle aligned faction (Festust and Glotkin included).
>>578989490He looks like Slimer. And I think that's cool.
>>578990564Drycha is my favorite campaign. Commit Branchkrieg
Disgusting how much favoritism Nu*gle the reddit gets
gotta love the smoke mods, FOTS mode
>>578964442TRVE KING OF THE EIGHT PEAKSThe polar opposite of a typical Dawi campaign where instead of building up slow and steady you blitzkrieg towards 8peaks while trading settlements for cash to stay solvent. Once you have 8peaks you can start pumping out stacks with +7 Recruitment rank for the entire army.
>>578967093We have cheats for that
>>578991581Yeah, I don't see how the choice was glottkin and not a tzeentch lord considering he only has 2 while the others have 3
oh wtfguess i won't have to kill em
So>Marine campaign will be about tracking down a trail of Chaos corruption leading to Armageddon, where Angron and the World Eaters will be summoned>IG campaign will be about a regiment making a name for themselves until they're called to Armageddon to assist against Ghazghkull's WAAAGG!!!, only for Angron to crash the party>Ork campaign will be about putting together a huge WAAAGH!!! up until you hear Ghaz is krumpin' Armageddon again and he wants you and your gitz there, knly for Angron to show up to get krumped too>Eldar campaign will be... warning the Imperium that Angron is coming?
>>578970292isnt that just TAA which we already have?
>>578992393I mean, if we're gonna be like this, give me the World Eaters already.
wtf cozy forest in north southlands
>>578992393Surely they won't make that perennial loser Angron the end game threat.
>>578992614World Eaters legitimately don't have a large enough roster to be a faction on their own. Most of their units are pulled from Chaos Space Marine just painted red.Base game will likely just have Angron, Khorne Berzerkers, and Bloodletters.
>>578992338More end times stuff? GW also like nurgle too.
>>578992964Just like WoC in Warhammer 1
>>578992868He's the 'big deal' threat of Armageddon, arguably more than Ghaz given how GW presents things
I'm not too hyped for 40k. It looks neat, but that's about it. Fantasy is just a lot more soulful until 40k has way more factions so the imperium can actually kinda work together sometimes.>>578993071Woc in wh1 was peak and I miss my all undivided army with none of those stupid other corruptions ruining my hellscape.
>>578993118Orks just forever doomed to complete irrelevance I guess, gotta make way for the biggest fucking loser of a primarch ever.
>saurus are almost as small as dwarvesi cant play this race anymore
wtf parravon is empire land?
>>578993118>arguably more than Ghaz
>>578981748>>578982012>>578982209>>578982407>mounted model considered as a single modeldisusting proto-aos shit
>>578993495I think you'll find...ALL land, is Empire land.
>>578993374Dawi from another hold arrive. Tis a great day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwQIh_UonkA&ab_channel=Tarriff
>>578992964If GW does copy what they've done for Chaos in AoS in 40k and merge the daemon rosters with their cult marines, they might have enough to be interesting even if a lot of them are just recolors
For me?It's wild riders
>>578991172As it happens his tribe is available as a follower for Norsca.
>>578992964>Chaos will either have Rhinos when SM doesn't or Chaos won't have Rhinos at all because they're being soft squatted for SM
>>578992393The Eldar campaign will be:>We must prevent this from happening >Oh no! Our attempts at preventing it was the direct cause of it happening >Normally, the this the point where Imperium steps in>but because you are still playing the Eldar you fix the mess you yourself created
>>578994267Love their crazy deer runhttps://youtu.be/MBCp4jxuhXc?t=42
God I want Eldar and Harlequins NOW NOW NOW NOW NOWRELEASE THE TAU BEFORE I PISS MESELF
>>578993495I really don't like this mechanic, it's so dumb and anticlimaticWhy the fuck would Karl be allowed to change Electors at whim, it doesn't make any fucking sense. He is elected by them and they are Electors actually in charge of their realms by bloodLegit would make more sense to give this mechanic to guy like Malekith who is actual dictator with absolute power. Karl doesn't have power like this
>>578994425>but because you are still playing the Eldar you fix the mess you yourself createdinb4 Campaign mechanics involve summoning a Imperial Guard stack to fight for you.
>>578992393Eldars are literally the ones who led Orks to Armageddon to prevent them from trampling some sacred groves on a Eldar planet.
>>578994867We're supposed to consider this some sort of evil act or even just morally grey in any way
>>578994789That, and the final battle won't be Eldrad or the Avatar of Khaine fighting whatever megamonster is the end threat, but a singular (helmetless) space marine will defeat it in a cutscene
>>578992542ah fuck thats truei forgot all about it cause i have it disabled because of the... smear
>>578992393>Marine campaign will be about tracking down a trail of Chaos corruption leading to Armageddon, where Angron and the World Eaters will be summoned
>>578994413Rhinos actually aren't getting squatted according to that article. All tanks on Rhino chassis are so Predator, Whirlwind, Razorback etcThen again original rumors about 11th edition talked about this and in turn big treaded vehicle overhaul. They can't get rid of it really because it's still needed for others like CSM and Sisters. And Chaos Predator kit is just a Predator kit with additional Chaos kits, so ultimately it's a nothingburgerMost likely GW will just make new Rhino chassis for 40k. They always do it like this, remove old kits, especially if they are resin and then reintroduce them with new kits
I still think End Times should have been a separate game. Herohammer gets a lot worse with it and there's just too much crazy shit going on
>>578990908Is there an option to not have Armageddon happen? Life of I just wanted to LARP a regiment till my hearts content?
>>578992393There is chance the 5th race is actually Tyranids.
>>578996329No please I want the game to be polished before my Tyranids come in
>>578996143GW thought the same, they called it Age of Sigmar
>>578988459Only good to kill giants, mammoths or dragons, you aren't face any of these so they are a waste
>>578984073Funnily enough aos is now at the point where they're redoing some end times units, including blight kings. Ironically far less goofy than the whfb end times ones were, though they were a fine kit don't get me wrong.
>>578996329I would much rather more imperium factions instead of ruining a race like that while the game is still in crisis mode for the first three years.
>>578994867That got retconned. Ghaz went to Armageddon because Gork and Mork guided him to do so, and he keeps returning because he refuses to accept a loss on principle since he has the most fun there. Eldar are now longer involved with Armageddon at all.
>>578971931didnt know asmongold browsed here
I feel like a schizo but does nobody else notice how ugly the lighting looks in this game? like I rag on wh3 for having worse lighting than 2, but wh3 screenshots still look great, look at this, it's a fucking visual messthe models themselves are good, very very HD, but the lighting and presentation needs work, and it seems to me like there's more moshpitting than ever watching that 2h gameplay thing
>>578997446>[all mention of eldars involvements redacted by order of Imperial Regent Guilliman]
>>578996143You’re like 2 games too late to be complaining about this.
>>578996329could be teasing post launchI imagine they'll get paired up with BA>>578996834I wonder if GW is going to rework Primaris like whatever Stormcasts got squatted, I don't care about lore rape but visually and rules wise they're a mess
>>578984073>The tomb king bone angels are worse though.They’re the coolest thing in the tomb king roster though, I might actually start to buy their dlc just for that.
>>578997725Didn't notice the lighting because I kept seething about the fucking godawful UI.
>>578969852the fuck are those blightking run animations lmao
>>578998065the UI is pretty bad, but at least they already said you'll be able to re-scape it so its not that huge (personally I would have liked the shogun 2 style UI which is in warhammer 3 as well, it's kinda the hallmark of the franchise at this point, but whatever, consoles i guess) more worried about the actual look of the game since that's much much harder to fix or change if it isn't good
what's good is good though, I love the explosion effects and trails etc just praying they work on the lighting before release, it looks sooo undercooked
>>578996480you say that like it'd be more than just gaunts, warriors, carnifexes, and a hive tyrant as an NPC filler race like beastmen or wood elves in wh1 release
>>578992868>>578993118>>578993340Remember when rumors were going around that Angron killed Yarrick and the next big event would be about Ghaz wanting vengeance for his favorite humie?If only GW writers were half as good as fucking game theorists.
>>578990564Brainwashed elves are making me diamonds
>>578998716It is set for a release some time next year. So they do have a fair bit of time to improve it by then. But. we'll see just how much it improves by then
>>578990564>>578999075what's the relationship between druids and elves in wood elf places anyway? like drucha in particularwhose in charge
Also they said they were looking for a way for your factions to be possible to show up for your friends. Sporepedia would be absurdly soulful>>578996321Apparently yes. Long time ago already they said there will be both premade and generated ones if you just want to do whatever you want with literally whomstve. And that they will keep adding more premades later. Even reiterated this in this vlog and said that Galaxy Map basically will keep growing over the years, similar to how TWW1 map evolved into Immortal Empires eventually.Unless they fucked up wording. Because before that we didn't know about Theaters and they were only talking about Campaigns. If we always HAVE to end up on Armaggeddon and only some Campaigns along the way are generated it will suck massively and imo destroy the point of this system.>>578997725It's weird, but it looks like Borderlands even sometimes>>578986168I'm hyped as hell and honestly love almost everything about. I still think CA needs to be bullied and hated on along the way just to keep them on their toesIt's legit the most important moment, once game is released it's over basically and no significant changes will be made anymore as design will be set in stone. Just like how we never got Naval combat in TWW or items actually showing up on characters, CA wasn't bullied hard enough.
>>578992393>Angron and the World EatersLemme guess, it's because Khorne animations and mechanics are already perfect and far ahead compared to Nurgle and Tzeentch while Gays Workshop does not want any Slaanesh shilling until they give their permission/order to do soAngron is the jobbiest Primarch, almost every named and even unnamed Space Marine has banished/killed him
>>578998282I don't just mean the unit cards being squished into the corner, I mean everything about the UI. It's fucking soulless and non-thematic and it pisses me off.
>>578998787Uh yeah that's what I said I don't want
>>578999183>looks like Borderlands even sometimesye ik what u meanits the extremely sharp look combined with the way the models are shaded? or however its calledit lowk looks cel shaded, look at these orcsit's as if there's a ton of lighting and other effects that aren't added to the game 'yet and I hope that's the case
>>578999430>non-thematici do find it weird how every single thing is so digitallike I associate 40k with more analogue technologyfallout stylenot everything being digitized ya feel mebut I can tolerate all that if the graphics themselves look goodand by look good I don't mean the models being super giga 4k HD which they already are regardless, I mean the lighting n effects presenting a pleasant image to look at
>>578999150Like in Athel Loren? Dryads are spiteful little vicious cunts but the Ancients generally keep them in line, the Wildwood is literally a magic prison region for the ones that won't play nice with the AsraiDrycha is canonically in that prison most of the time
>>578999434It's especially noticeable on Whiteor look on those highlights of sorts on hist bolter
>>578999794kek yeah that looks cel shadedits hard to describe this shi since idk graphical or lighting terms but yeah it's as if there's some shading that should be in the game but isn't 'yet so it looks off
>>578999150Druids ? You mean the ones from Albion ?Or "Dryads" ?
>>578999417>Can get away with just Berzerkers and recycled Bloodletters>Super easy to program their AI; they charge you to fight in melee. They don't even have proper ranged attacks except pistols.>Angron is a big angry stompy centerpiece to fight, little in the way of mechanics.>Zerkers will be easy to utilize for making CSM as tbe first DLC, and Angron can be made the focus of their Armageddon theater.>World Eaters are due a significant release wave this edition to fill out their roster, easy to tie a TW DLC in for it.
>>578999978>>578999738dryads yes so the wood elves are chill with them most of the time?
If Nagash is a "Decent Melee Combatant"...Then what is Karl Franz?
>>579000185Melee specialistSpecialized in sucking LOL
>>579000185My cum dump. I’m going to stretch him wide and make him beg to be my wife.
>>578992393>>Eldar campaign will be... warning the Imperium that Angron is coming?Eldar campaign will be vague-posting mystery-niggers
Angron and an Avatar of Khaine get into a fightWho wins?
>>579000547The helmetless Space Marine.
>>579000547The Imperium.
>>579000149Dryads are legit as close to actually evil as any *order aligned being can be. Drycha got fucked up and corrupted during the initial chaos fuckery when the Old ones evacuated, she also blames the elves for the death of her lover or something. Then again it's been decades since I read their Army books so shit could have changed, or more likely I am wrong about some of these things
>>579000547>The Avatar of Khaine in an unprecedented show of defiance manages to bend itself over and spread it's cheeks before getting killed.
>>579000547realistically, it should be a great fight and either should be able to winlorewise? Avatar's of Khaine are almost always only put into a story to be a BIG BAD to job
>>579001293Angron only exists to get killed.
>>579001436right but so does AoK
I wish Tzeentch didn't suck to play
>>578984073AOS Nurgle models are the peak of Warhammer. If only such KINO wasn't stuck in AOS.
>>579000149Most of them realize the Asrai are protecting the fuck out of the forest, yeah
>>578990230>It remains to be explained howYour chapter reputation and champion units follow you through the campaigns.
>>579001756I still wouldn't put it past them to murder a lone elf just for the thrill of it
>>579000547>*character* vs generic replaceable monsterJust like bloodthirsters, Aang is fucked
>>578965670>Total War would never work
>>579001889Yeah, hence the WildwoodThey're super fucked up fey creaturesBut they also march to war alongside them when Athel Loren is being attacked
>>578994526Sorry but dark elves can't have any fun mechanic only nerf and suffering. >>579000547Avatar loses. It's always the jobber in every single story it shows up. GW says it's because it's just a shard with 1/10000000000000000000000000 of Khaine's true power level. We all know this is cope and Eldar can't have nice things in 40k by GW mandate.
>>578999150Drycha is literally tainted by chaos because Ariel spilled Morghur's blood in their holy forest which drove most of the trees to hate the elves.
>>579002174Now, now, Khaine killed the Swarmlord in Rites of War.
>>579002138I always found it fucked up how the forest won't even spare the innocent peasants or children who get's lost or strays just a little to close to the forest. Even the accidental snapping of a branch would be a death sentence. Those squatting elves also takes the nations of man for granted most of the time, considering how much bullshit they are shielded from
>>579002672Avatar/Swarmlord/Bloodthirster are all the same replaceable monster, it doesn't count when they "kill" each other
>>579002672Rites of War is KINO but it was made in the 90s when Eldar were still allowed to be cool. Now I am obligated to post the introhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ6_zos5GjwENTER YOUNG KING!
>>579002887
>>579000547Avatar of Khaine is almost always there to job, it should be them, but Angron would likely win.>>578996834I don't mind some of the end times units and would like to see them in fantasy. The tzaangors for example are way cooler in AoS.>>578994289 I thought there was just a mod for him.
>>579003131There is something deeply unsettling about that webm. It fills me with a hopeless anguish.
>>579003919I can do much worse
>>578998000The stormcast wizard sqaut ws just a test bed for the mass squatting of every non-Primaris marine (and some unpopular primaris units) that hapened earlier this week
>>579004187We aren't making it to 2100, are we?
>>579004514Earth has already had 5 mass extinctions, this is just number 690% of life was wiped out and it just bounced back once conditions recovered, multiple times
>>579003131this looks greatI love human ingenuity
>>579004987I actually do too, while tragic it's also part of the ultimate goal of Earth life to escape being confined to one planet Forests won't matter when the Sun starts expanding
I noticed in the customisation selection when naming your chapter that both your first and last chapter name can be "marines" so you can create the Marines Marine
I'll be calling him Wally.

>>579004187Would there even be enough plant matter to support a herd of this size? I do not believe this is real.
I can't think of a nickname for him. Helsnicht-who-is-not-Helman is too long and that defeats the purpose.
>>578999150>>579000149Dryads and Asrai are both part of the forest and they are technically allies, but Dryads are very evil cunt and they're just looking for a pretext to kill someone.Branchwraiths are the most anti-elves of all tree-spirits and they are basically just waiting for "the day of the rake".Drycha is a Chudette who actually turned rogue and started to chimp out (you could compare her to a Harley Quinn trying to break the Joker (Coeddil in her case) out of prison).
>>579005617Diddy.
>>579005521That's the really disturbing part, future generations won't see itLike birds and bugs since I was a kid
>>579005290He doesn't look so tough. I could take him.
>>579005617>Dieter Helsnicht is undoubtedly the most obsessive student of Nagash'sZacharias bros ... Melkior bros ...
think i'm done with karl campaignswitchin to the old world with VCO, who next?
>>579005290Looks like "we have Vlad at home."
>>579006234Sayl
The basilisk animations are so cool.
>>579006332don't own him or any tides of torment or tiger4 chooses
>>579006425The what now
>>579005290
>>579004187I looked up this photo and apparently these Elephants congregated because of the drought and subsequently died en masse. This leads me believe this is not a healthy population density for elephants.
>>579006436Kraken Lord of Kraken Karr!
>>578996834yeah they look very cleanaka not nurgle wtf
>>579006291He is oddly a lot closer to Vlad's original look when Vlad looked like an Ozzy Osbourne tribute act.
>>578990378i swear woodelves autoresolve is a fucking liethe nastiest battles are always them unless im playing some full cav army like bretonnia
>>579007179Did they make Aislinn cool in his DLC to reverse the humiliation ritual that were his trailers?
REMINDER for future 40k tw players...
>>579007587he is right and that's a good thing
>>579007338I wouldn't call it odd. They were both given their original look in roughly the same era. The same art department working on similar characters in a short timeframe ends up producing similar results. Pretty straightforward.
>>579007516idk are patented late stage ca dlc op bombardments cool to you
>>579007516I mean that's just his actual lore.
>>579007587how is he so media illiterate...
>>578997725The sharpening effect is out of the roof for the demo, which lends to the weird graphics.Aside from that, I dont have any particular issue with the way the game looks and im sure I will be able to dim the sharpening in the options
>>579007014Elephants do briefly meet in numbers beyond their means though, the forest ones especially socialize and breed in clearings then fuck off away from each other
>>578981881what blur?
>>579007587The Imperium is an hilariously bleak and incompetent entity because of the exceeding authoritarianism and disregard for human life, but the plastic toy soldiers still need to be cool or people won't buy them. Next question please.
>>579008705>The Imperium is an hilariously bleak and incompetent entity because of the exceeding authoritarianism and disregard for human lifethat's cool already though
>>579005290So day 1 mod to swap out Vlad's animations for these and give him a great sword? Or better yet, CA does it themselves. Probably like a 10 minute change on their end.
>>579007516I'm still miffed that he hardly gets anything for Lothern Sea Guard. I don't care if it would step on Tyrion's toes.
>>579007587
>>579006234HIGH PRINCE OF CALEDOR
>>579008860>ten years of whining about the size of Vlad's swordI swear no other characterfags are like this.
>>579009521Name a more poorly done character.
>>579009737>not even a legendary heroKrell
>>579009521I don't know about the size but that glowing fog around it looks ass, even WoW had more subtle enchantments
>>579010784Summoning a character was cool though, Ghorst could never
>>579009737malagor couldn't even fly for most of his existence
>>579011125The day Ghorst was added to TW he won so hard no one can top that. Everyone is small time compared to Ghorst.
>>579009737Tretch's flail is animated like a club for some reason.
>>579011406I mean yeah once you have the important skills no one in the game is easierZombies beat literally anything
Do you guys like red line skills? I find I use them a lot but wondering if I should.
>>579012362no too OP
>>579012362strong early game, kinda meh midgame, strong again late game
>>579009737Markus ?
>>579012362Mostly for the frontline
>>579007587How thoYou just play a supersoldier that kills monsters and space satan(schizo) worshipersWhat's fascist about that
>>579012362Necromancers with Rank 7+ Zombies are a menace.
>>579009737Ironically it might be Mannfred. IIRC he also uses stock animations, and his sword is also shrunken to the size of a rapier. But he never got a unique skill line and both his faction and his start position from the lore were removed for not being loreful.
>>579012362A race that relies on red lines for their power is an underpowered race.
>>579005303Yea, the Planet survived. Not most of the species inhabiting it
>>579012672Basically freeThe cost effectiveness is absurd (as any MPfag knows)
>>579005964The reduction in bugs is actually insane. I still recall windscreens being covered in them, or not being able to use my bicycle without having to drive trough swarms of congregating insects at times. That shit is gone now
>>579012689True, don't give a shit as Chorfs
>>579012574If you can't see the fascism in the imperium that's a whole other thing, but do you think r/gamingcirclejerk is where people post their honest opinions?
>>579010784Good model and animations>>579011374He got better>>579011543Fair and inexcusible, but also who?>>579012471He looks fine>>579012685Vamps can't win apparently
>>579012849I remember not being able to be outside when the sun goes down without seeing lightning bugs everywhere.Hell even the last cicada swarm was nothing compared to when I was young.
>>579012849Yeah that and big massive flocks of sparrows that would carpet the pavement that kids would run through to scatter (pesticides fucked their eggshells up for that one)
>>579013075its coolthe crows have wonmake sure to be polite, they remember your face and your hair color
>>579011374Then they made him a fucking jet fighter for some reason
>>579012362The only red line skills that matter are +6/+6 melee attack/Melee defense. The rest are totally optional.
>>579009737Forget about having generic animations, Alberic spent the better part of his existence with only generic voice lines.
>>579012362Yes they are usually some of the first skills I take.
this discussion reminds megod the skills busy-work in wh3 is exhausting, most annoying part of the game for me UNIT NEEDS UPGRADING UNIT NEEDS UPGRADING UNIT NEEDS UPGRADING i could disable hte notification and ignore it, but then i probably won't even notice when i have a char with 10 skills up and its not usedhow do u guys do it do u use that mod for better auto skills and just plop it on auto?
>>579013948I disable the notification and wait till I have a bunch of level ups
So basically, currently, a long victory is just a boring fucking AFK ordeal for XX turns?
>>579014075Just don't do long victory. Change start settings to let end game crisis spawn between 10 to 20 turns.
>>579014075>>579014196eh i play on avg 150 turns regardless and on default crisis actually spawn way too soon for meneed to change thatdesu i don't like the idea of these kinda 100% sandbox campaigns where u can change literally everythingit feels too artificial and game-y-immersion
>cav charges into blightkangs>BK just tank it, no knockbackAh, the ogre experience, now in WoC.
Now that we can see that 40k will be the Game of Games, the best Total War of all time, do you feel any remorse for all the mean things you've said about CA over the years?
>>579014075End times will fix this.
>>579013948When it becomes overwhelming I just turn of notification and check in once in a while to dump 5-10 skill points for characters I don't pay much attention to.Actually I've thought about a solution to this problem. A skill point queue. It should be possible to pre-select skill points, so that when the character levels up, the the skill point is automatically put where you want it. ez pz.
>>579012574People of Chaos just want to live in peace. Stop being a bigot.
>>579013948I do what >>579014067 said.I keep special tabs on some lords/heroes (like vampires) because they have breakpoints that get me certain spells or abilities (The Hunger being at 8), I'm trying out the Skill Queue mod which worked decently until I confederated Mixu's Mousillon at which point the mod broke, presumably because Malloubaude has a shit ton of Bretonnian heroes.
>>579014618>It should be possible to pre-select skill points, so that when the character levels up, the the skill point is automatically put where you want it.i mean yeah sounds like a no brainer now that u mention it wonder why TCA doesn't add such simple qol
>>579014772>I'm trying out the Skill Queue modoh shit someone made my idea?
>>579014075Long victories are garbage unless you like map painting.
>>579013948I don't like the skill queue mod but I do like the one that makes it so you get X skill points at a time every X levels. 5 feels alright, where you're not totally trapped in micromanagement hell.
>>578965670>Total War would never work with ranged combat>Total War would never work with single entities>Total War would never work with magical abilities>Total War would never work with flying units>Total War would never work with multiple different entities per squad
>>579014868It was a mod in TWW2 but not a lot of people knew about it because it came late. It came to TWW3 relatively recentlyThe one for TWW3 is more advanced though, lets you make skill queues and save them to a separate file that the game can read from for future play throughs so you can tell it to give heroes the queued list.
>40k sells a gorillion copies as expected>Space battles, transports and all the other features they promised are coming "after launch" that aren't dlc factions to sell suddenly stop getting talked about>Anyone who brings them up gets shouted down by reddit and told to be grateful we have a 40k total war at all
>>579015745you niggas are gonna jinx it with these kinda comments and it'll flop
>>579012685>>579014897Oh yeah that's another thing. Mannfred's faction effect to have the option of building a landmark in Drakenhof is essentially moot unless playing for a long victory. By the time the landmark is built and its benefits kick in, a short victory will usually have been achieved simply in the process of getting to occupy Drakenhof in the first place.
>>579015952It won't flop because I will be buying it.
>>579015952Name one big marketed 40k game that flopped in the last decade. If you marketed a 40k douche the fanboys would make it sell out.
>>579016159Dawn of War 3
>>579014075That's why everyone who does long victories is either autistic, using VCO, or using Old World.
you now remember the time our thread got deleted for tausret art in her ingame garb
>>579016286There was no Dawn of War 3.Dawn of War 4 is called that because they treat Retribution as the unofficial DoW 3, which while not great was enjoyable enough.
>>579015952if fucking only
>>579016431?
>>579016951nice photoshop bro but Gabriel doesn't wear Terminator armor
>>579016308Maybe if we used loli Tausret
>Lore of Undeath only has 1 summon spellSo looks like Vampire Counts still want Lore of Vampires on their Negromancer Lord, but if Negromancer heroes can use lore of Undeath they'll be able to spray out some damage while the lord is keeping the army endlessly shambling forward.
>>579016159Mechanicus 2, from just a few months ago
>>579017479damn found my own post looking for this I swear to god, there was a loli tausret art but I can't find it with search enginesanyone happen to have it? just curious if it was a real thing or not
Bros I don't know who to play
>>579016159There are so many shitty 40k games on Steam that no one bought, I don't know why people keep trying to push the "40k drones will buy anything!" narrative. It's not at all true of the video games.
>>579018163all i could find was this
>>578998000>I wonder if GW is going to rework Primaris like whatever Stormcasts got squattedDidn't they just squat non-primaris marines? They seem committed to the concept. Though I guess if all marines are primaris the distinction stops mattering.The older stormcast got squatted because gw experimented with a new style of them basically every edition. Fatcast in 1st, sacrosanct in 2nd, thunderstrike in 3rd. Seems like they were happy with thunderstrike, so they continued with it in 4th edition, remaking most of the 1st edition units and squatting the 2nd edition ones because stormcast don't have a big enough fanbase to support that many redundant units. Whereas primaris succeeded on the first try.
>>579017975I have never liked summon spells since the MP cabal got them nerfed to hell. They're just no fun, the unit evaporates after 30 seconds, what's the fucking point
>>579018496as always, MPnegroids ruin the fun of the game
>>579018595/twg/ campaigns were the pinnacle of the general.
>>579018286There aren't any good ones and some of them still do alright
>>579018357been a while since I've seen this one too
>>579018286Warhammer fans won't buy anything. But we will buy anything that's even remotely good.
>>579018401>because stormcast don't have a big enough fanbase to support that many redundant units. >Whereas primaris succeeded on the first try.I mean they're facing this exact problem where no one likes Primaris snowflake loadouts and have to bring back Terminators and Veterans, best case scenario right now is that they're making a new Rhino precisely because the Primaris transports are unpopular, we're finally getting something resembling continuity with the organization of Primaris squads with Heavy Bolters sharing the Eradicator name with MeltasI'm surprised they haven't used this opportunity to get rid of the mini baby carrier instead of Suppressors
>>579018821Khalida looks like she's about to give her the BONE...
Is there a mod that fixes how lazy and arcadey the State Troops mechanic is? Like turning some into normally recruited units out of a special building or making some of the RoRs? I hate the "every 15 turns" bullshit. What I hate most about the Empire.
>>579017975It looks like Nagash got plenty of summons but not from his magic.But other factions with the access to the lore of Undead would probably not have access to them.
>>579018163
Don't you just doomstack these on turn 1 and rape
>>579020910>t1 armour piercing unitis this recruited from settlement or a red building? this seems overpowereddo we have any other armour piercing units so easily recruitable
>>579013029It's not specifically fascism, more like a brutal feudal theocracy, authoritarian =/= fascist.
>>579021083Kislev warriors are much better
>>579021083do darkshards count
Nagashs new units are heckin cool
>>579021083I forget but I'm pretty sure bloodletters and demonettes have more than 20 melee attack and 50 leadership.
>>579021083probably from a red building since they do have caps unlike zombies or sword n board skelly warriors
>>579021205It has elements of all the worst types of societies, but is still the best option. That's supposed to horrify you.
>>579019178Anon let's not cope by pretending primaris haven't been enormously succesful.
>>579021956I'm not saying they aren't successful, I'm saying no one likes their loadouts, I know they got rid of Tacticals mixing guns for a reason, I'm not going to pretend that Intercessors aren't what people imagined when they thought of truescale.
>>579021925>but is still the best optionmogged by the Tau
>>579022132Tau sterilize problematic populations, and make it illegal to acknowledge that people existed if those people were executed for offending the greater good.Tau fans screech every time this is brought up though.
>>579022314and? there's nothing wrong with either of those things, it improves their society and makes it even safer and more prosperous
>>579022314>Tau sterilize problematic populations, and make it illegal to acknowledge that people existed if those people were executed for offending the greater good.Proof?inb4 non-canon Dawn of War slop
>>579022314>Tau sterilize problematic populations, and make it illegal to acknowledge that people existed if those people were executed for offending the greater good.based!also still better than nuking planets because someone sneezed too hard
If I play as a monogod faction during the archaon endgame crisis, can I declare war on him and ally with the ordertide?
>>579022314>Tau sterilize problematic populations, and make it illegal to acknowledge that people existed if those people were executed for offending the greater goodWe should do this IRL.
>>579022724I agree. White people have been a tumor on this planet for far too long.
>>579022132Until the Imperium retakes the planet and executes everyone for xenoheresy.
>>579023017>the Imperium retakes the planetnot happening lmao
>>579022314meanwhile>someone coofs on an imperium world>EXTERMINATUS! EXTERMINATUS!>KILL THEM AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY AND EVERYONE THEY CAME INTO CONTACT WITH!>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHnow enjoy eating your corpse starch citizen!
>exterminatus memein lore it's supposed to be a last resort giga rare thingit's just shown all the time because 40k is a dangle shiny keys in front of baby type franchise
>w-we'll retake that world from the Tau... eventually... maybe...>w-we can take them out at any time we want... maybe...>w-we're gonna do it this time! soon! JUST YOU WAIT!>OKAY so we lost like 10000000000 people and several hundred astartes and we didn't take the planet back, but we'll call it a draw, okay?>we'll totally massacre all those blue freaks next time... for REALS!
>>579024106i think the imperium hasn't gotten into any real shit with the tauand why should theythey're not aggressive and not an immediate threatpracticality still winswhen big E ascends to eclipse all the other chaos gods he'll make a degree that the tau are humanity's source of big bovine waifus
he'd still get BTFO by GORK AND MORK
How do you play ranged heavy factions now when every evil guy has a summon spell to ass rape your shooters and arti?I find map wide summons to be such a badly implemented thing
>>579020910>nagash send ghost to stab the livingGoddam CA is based, they probably say nagash is great too
>>579024426play the guys that have assrape summon spells and broken ranged
>>579024426always keep a unit or two near your ranged guys to defend them?
>>579022821bloody basterd do not redeem the google play card
You won't be calling Skaven melee weak when a Verminlord crushes a quarter of your army.
>>579024537Doesn't matter if you have a unit to defend, if khorne summons a bloodletter in your cannons or they're dead regardless
nagash is spoopy
>>579022132The Tau have a brutally rigid caste system in which you are little more than cannon fodder (sound familiar?) if you get pressed into military service.And let's not mention the fact your soul is completely fucked upon death, since you don't even get to join the Emperor in the Warp anymore but get eaten and worse by daemons instead.Enjoy.
>>579024707Also when skaven summons units inside your units they seem to take so much dmg instantly that I feel it's a bugSlaves should be doing that much dmg even if it's tier 1 archers
>>579024426>play helves>spam Lothern SEA Guard>problem skaven?
95% of the maps being utter fucking shit is maddening. At this point I would take a plain field every fucking time compared to the rancid shit we otherwise have to deal with. Whoever was in charge of this shit should commit ritual deletion
>>57902683840k or WH3?
>>578965851>Grey Knights do not count as Marinesmotherfucker as far as i'm concerned custodes are just more marines
>>579027031WH3
>>579024426The summon spells are limited, and you should pay attention to the numbers in pre-battle screen. Once they exhaust that, you're golden
>>579027449What specifically is the issue with the maps you get? Like anti-ranged/arti layouts, poor performance/visuals, too small/big?
>>579027627Shitty nonsensical hills and ravines. Annoying tree-lines. Just shitty unfun pieces of shit in general
>They didnt give hin 40k accessCA are cruel.. CRUEL ASSEMBLY..
>40k's immortal empire equivalent is just a series of mini campaigns lasting about ~60 turns eachhow are we feeling about this
>>579028486title of first video should be changed to "Why Bretonnia sucks"
>>579028583By 60 turns I'll be bored with any IE run.
>>579028583Depends on how well connected the disparate campaigns areIn the example they used it sounded greatI do wanna build up a force in empire then go lustria or some shi slowly as it's own thing
>>579027572It's map wide and in my experience they always target ranged. No amount of units I use to protect my ranged units prevents the the AI from summoning shit inside them and instantly deleting themIMO spawn units should be a LL ability that can only be used on a radius around them
>>579028691They have the player data and specifically wanted to avoid this i'm sure. Like no one's playing a campaign for 100+ turns
>>579028943>Like no one's playing a campaign for 100+ turnsI might for end times.
>>579028943Speak for yourselfMy avg is 150Short campaigns ain't cozy
>>579028943i am
>>57902858360 turns is already too long.
>>579028583I like it. Like the other anon said, 60 is a good number to stop at.Honestly the fact that you "restart" a couple of times with your same dudes will be really cool.>>579028808YeahThe example they gave was awesomeOnly few downsides I can think of right now are that the traditional map painting TW gameplay would be a bit duller, as in painting a few sectors on a planet isn't as fun as it is on a continent connected to other continents, or that you don't get to that stage where you have like 20 armies(which can be also shitty desu) on the boardUnless the actual Theatre itself is the map, which it might be because I don't believe we've seen it
>>579029148my last malakai campaign was 257Couldn't let any rats live
I wonder how the Emperor is going to work in the game if he is going to be anything more than just a background mention every now and then
>>579028583Could be fun, could also be complete dogshit. Should, however, massively increase campaign map performance since you only need to load and process parts of the total map instead of everything at all times, meaning turn times should not be a problem anymore and loading in and out of combat should be much smoother. Unless the new engine is dogshit or something I dunno.
>>579029640turns should load faster with the new movement system too, ai isn't calculating the exact pixel movement to rape the player
>>579029506The same way he works in tabletop, he doesn't.
>>579029506SoB will get blessings and stuff from him
There better be more than one grand theatre campaign at launch.
So are Putrid Blightkings just a better version of Chosen?
>>579029506Random events that range from "The emperor has blessed your units with valor (+10% weapon and missile strength for 20 turns)" to literally nothing but flavor text
>>579029189>>579028808I think my concern is that, as one said, map painting if the maps aren't connected loses value.So either there needs to be a way for previous maps to be threatened (unlikely), or the map painting needs to be secondary to the buffs/benefits/units you pick up while in that area, HoMM style.And I'm not sure how much HoMM style campaign maps will be appreciated by TW players, but we'll see.
>>579030417Especially given Angron is literally the most shit big bad 40k has.
>>579029342w-what did you do to cathay...
https://youtu.be/4DgS6ftulrE
>>579030808Yes
>>579031807it all fell to chaos, I didn't war a single order faction the whole run, anyways took it over except dechala's place I guess, it was also crawling w rats
>half an hour of gta footage drops>doomposters evaporatePeculiar
>>579032740Everybody already posted about the streams, did you want them to just keep repeating themselves?
lorewise, which of the dawi LL is the easiest to get along with
I need to see the new skill trees for the Vampire Counts heroes. Because this shit hasn't been acceptable for several years.
>>579033361Grombrindal>'ate elves>*sips ale* yuuuuuup>luv mines>*sips ale* yuuuuuup
>neeferata is just vampire sniktchhow is that ok
>>579033887Because she can't literally delete a faction from the game. Sniktch needs to lose that because it's just retarded.
>>579034623it's a once a campaign mechanic, just let it be
>>579033001That's what genuine schizos would do
which endgame are you gonna try first
>>579033548>New skill treesThat's coming with the Bretonnia rework.
>>579033361probably malakai, he's not as boomer-ish or grumpy as the others
>>579035021ordertide
>>579035021Probably Chaos or Slaven. If I play Vlad first: ChaosIf I play Kemmler or Neferata first: Slaven
>>579035570Yeah, Malakai is definitely the least 'old fashioned' Dawi in the game.
>>579035021As in endgame crisis? Those get turned off. Nobody likes that shit. Sucks
>>579035058They already confirmed new skill trees with the rework. They just haven't shown them.
MY POWER LEVEL IS MAXIMUM
Newbie retard here. I've been trying to play Tiktaq'to but I can't really wrap my head around how I'm supposed to play him/lizardmen. I literally haven't been able to make it past the first 20 turns cause Wurzzag just keeps aggro'ing onto me and murdering me the second I get my first province. Feels like every battle I get a good bombing run that wipes out one or two units...and then the rest of my army just dies without being able to do anythingIs focusing solely on terradon stuff just a trap? Should I be investing more into skinks and the other lizards or something? The only other faction I have experience with has been vampire counts so I'm not really used to using ranged units
>>579036646What is that made up nonsense and why should I care?
>>579037163get SAURUS
>>579037163SARUUMANII>Is focusing solely on terradon stuff just a trapabsolutely terradons don't have the beef to be more than a supporting unit for your saurus
>>579037261>>579037261You shouldn't care since you don't care about total war
>>579037163>>579037295to add onto this, have saurus get big blobs of the green rats together, and then use the fireleech bolas terradons to kill them
>Archaon gets to have every chaos lord, including monogodsYup Yup, the definitive, campaign for total war enjoyers
>>579032740looks ass, pretty graphics but uhhhh meh
>>579037271>>579037295>>579037472Okay I'll give the Saurus a try. Kinda sad the terradons are a meme, I really wanted to try making a full stack of them and just do huge bombing runs with them.
>>579036646Hope that's a in-dev debug view because that looks ugly
>>579037718ripperdactyls can get some shit done but you still need some ground force to anchor
>>579024954>And let's not mention the fact your soul is completely fucked upon death, since you don't even get to join the Emperor in the Warp anymore but get eaten and worse by daemons insteadIs that nulore? last I read tau were psychically inert and their souls had no warp presence
>>579037373That's not correct. I do care about total war.. warhammer3. Obviously not about niggash tho. He's just another boring skeleton that looks retarded as fuck.People who aren't losers play Cathay and Skarbrand. Skaven are fine too ofc.
>>579037163>Is focusing solely on terradon stuff just a trap?Yes, Tiktaq'to is only usable with the DLC flyers and he sucks anyway. You should played Oxyotl instead because you can stack upkeep reduction by placing sanctums together
Damn Noctilus campaign start is horribleElves hard counter vampirates and the maps are all forested
>>579038783>People who aren't losers play SHIThay KEKAROOOOOOOOOOO
>>579039012Yeah I hate it, it should be a choose your own adventure start but you're forced to invade Ulthuan and if you don't and ignore them the High Elves confed with only you left as their enemy by turn 40 and send stack after stack at the maelstrom
>>579038783>Cathay and Skarbrand. Skaven are fine tooYeah, this is shit taste
>>579039092You may now kneel. Grand Cathay allows it.
Nagash was so weak... he forced his (pathetically weak) skeletons to shitpost in twg to make his haters look bad!
cathay has so much op shit and thousands of buffs to their missile infantry
>>579039248Why should I when CA and GW kneel before the gooks unconditionally for 5 years
>>579039490Excellent. They did well kneeling to the superior race.You will eventually kneel too or be discarded.For Grand Cathay!
>>579039805True, china won
>>579039932BLOOD
>>579039932new york postKEKAROOOOOOOOOOO
cant wait to larp as ET archaoen but good and fight Vermintide and Nagash
>>578960668>Look up VC>They gave units caps
>>578961447The DLC for this game is gonna keep the lights on at CA for 100 years
>>578964331IDK what it is about EMP great cannons, but I find them to be pure jank trash. They have the same stats as Cathay cannons, but those for some reason feel so much beefier and impactul
>>579041850it's the SOUNDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX6VvSt_wVA
Not gonna die standing here.
>>578989238>youtube is cynical >/vg/ is a hugboxwtf happened
>>579041850Emp cannons are really only good under elspeth because they get grapeshot iirc, but even then you're still better off getting helblaster volley guns or helstorm rockets if you want to cut through infantry
my favorite factions aredwarfsgreenskinsempire
>Play Egrimm via Mixu's lords>He has a fucking map-wide ZA WARUDO army abilityCool
>>579043016same except not greenskins because i feel they are a bit too kooky for my tastes
>>579037476It took them 10 years to unlock that forbidden technology.I bet there was a eureka moment at CA when they finally figured it out.
>>579043016Cool list!My favourite factions are:KislevNurgleHigh Elves
Me? I just corner camp with dwarfs without even expanding, the mere idea of killing my enemies while I don't move is enough to entertain me for years
>>579044309>10 lv50 armies spawns near your capital when ET triggers
thorgrim or malakai?
>>578971631because the concept of death and decay becomes stronger during the apocalypse.
>>579045179One of these guys has an inferiority complex about his status and stature and needs to sit on a moving throne.The other guy designed and built a floating fortress.
ogres, khorne, norscans, or orcs
Every time you guys mention nurgle I get reminded that glotkin is not nurgle, just another woc nigger who can't recruit demons... 19 chosen yet agin.. yay..I'm so excited to not use any of the nurgle roster.. yay.. 100turns to make horsemen into rot knights.. I'm so.. ugh..
They added far too many Legendary Heroes for Nagash and Glottkin.
>>579045179Belegar
>>579046007gutrot spume and the maggoth riders had to be added at some point since theyre relatively recent mentions
Will tzeentch ever get a dlc?
uh bro? your shadows of change?
>>579046007The maggoth riders and Spume can be used by more than the Glottkin cookiedoughbeit.
>>579046864needs another pass to get it right I think
>>579046864Never heard of it, doesn't exist
>>579046864>Make the fucking Changeling of all things the one with cult shenanigans >Egrimm in the lore is apparently responsible for two-thirds of all chaos cults in the EmpireStill boggles the fucking mind but ever since CA showed their true colours with the SoC bullshittery and trying to milk the fans to fund their failed abortion of a hero shooter I’ve just pirated their DLC and End Times will be no different. I genuinely think this will be their last one before they completely go all-in with 40k and we’ll be stuck with shit Tzeentch experiences, boring Geomantic Web stuff and no more updates for Dark Elves or Bretonnia.
>More hyped for TW40k than GTgay6I'm thankful to CA
>>579045876Norscans or Ogres
My playorder if you’re interested:>Nagash>ET Archaon>Empire (full crisis)>Thanquol
>>579048983Thanquol or Niggash for me..Maybe a sneaky Karl run and play with the new notChosen units
>>579033361Malakai for sure. He's downright pleasant if rowdy, and he has worked with umgis more than the other dwarf LLs. Only time you'll have to be worried is if he enters the room proclaiming he's got a new invention. Grombrindal and Ungrim also seem relatively chill if we go by the content we've got of them, Grombrindal hit it off really well with Malekith and was a fantastic friend (even if Malekith repaid it like shit) and Ungrim is alright when he's not trying to die/angry because you'd like him not to die. Also I seem to remember Karak Kadrin is the single dwarf hold that gets the most human visitors.Thorgrim is tolerable if you watch what you say and do. Belegar is taciturn and dismissive, and Thorek would be fucking hell on earth to be near of.
>>579048983Thanquol > Neferata > Boris > Nagash > Karl > ArchaonWhether I play Glottkin at all will depend on if they get some sort of cool unique mechanic, but... eh.
>>579049337Slayers in general seem more humble
>>579048983Neferata > Nagash > Glottkin, then probably force myself to play Tranquol for the cheevo.
>>579049823Going by GnF books, slayers are a curious mix of being more humble (by dwarf standards) and flexible with people who don't understand dwarf culture and might accidentally slight them, but also you never know when one might flip out and start a fight over small bullshit just because he suspects the other part might be strong enough to kill him. That's more of an asshole slayer thing to do though, neither Ungrim or Malakai would, and neither would slayers like Snorri. More of a Gotrek thing.
Playing 40k rn, this is pretty cool.
guys ive tried like 6 immortal empires campaigns and failed all of them, i get to turn like 30 and then someone makes war with me and they have like way more units than i can imagine and i just lose, how do i win? playing hard and im too stubborn to turn difficult down.
what did he mean by this?
>>579051993try ambushing moreget a bait lord it sit in forced march stance while your main army is in ambush stance somewhere they have over 70% success rate
>>579052408oh thats a good idea, thanks!
>>579051962VGH, SOVL!
>>579052150Have u never seen my profile before? I post it rather often in screenshots and such. https://steamcommunity.com/id/AnimeIsFuckingTrash2/>>579052658I love this game.. I'mma go the chaos route again.
>>579052943Based
>>579051962Yeah, that's one of the good games in the swath of mediocrity
>>579040337>Thrash all the Chaos factions so they fall into order>Krump the orderly because they need to be kept from fighting eachother chaotically>Yet save the world from Nagash and the ratsmite b cool
Fuck this dude I am downloading the Console Command mod and I am cheating, I am not restarting this fucking Astragoth campaign again because everyone just CANNOT STOP FUCKING GOING TO WAR AGAINST ME. I have been unable to take basically ANY major provinces and my "allies" are more or less worthless. Also, despite having really good relations with me, none of them want to Confederate, and you start with absolutely no physical barriers, you are CONSTANTLY swamped on all sides, and everyone else's armies are all full of fucking 20 epic unit doomstacks so even with all the blunderbuss and war machine goodness I can muster it's just not fucking enough. I can't fucking take this campaign anymore dude I just need to win this one war and then MAYBE I can think about taking on Cathay in the North. I HATE THIS.
>>579040337Archaon is good though
>>579018163>damn found my own post looking for thisI keep finding my own when looking through archive even 10 years backreally fucking unsettling feeling>>579028583I'm hyped. Sounds amazing>Random starting positions so you could even play Karl equivalent every time and every time it would be a completely different campaign against different enemies>Power creep heavily diminished>Constant resets of Campaign functionally, so you get to reexperience early game thrill again and again while still retaining some progressThey said they that 40k galaxy map will growing over the years just like TWW1 map grew
>>579051962The dow2 crew are still the only likable space marines in licensed 40k games. The campaign may be more arpg than rts but fuck it, it's good.
VCs hate them corners
>>579048983>empire>aempire>_____empire>nagash___
>>579055406Seems like all chaos dwarf campaigns depend on surviving the GRIMGAY FAGGOTHIDE machine...
>>579055878I once played it in coop too, that's mega fun. Sadly I gotta sacrifice someone again.. wonder if I should let cyrus take the hit as the bad chaos warped one. I can't remember who the game defaults to when I have the highest chaos corruption.. I think it was the negro psyker.. hm..
>>579057147Avitus always made the most sense to me but Tarkus has the most kino scene when it's him
how many years until tw 40k is worth playing
>>579057256Eh.. Cyrus is constantly pissing himself over everything. He is weaker than the others. He could be corrupted. I think I had Tarkus once take it but I like him. He's my loyal allrounder that carries 500 packs of grenades, artillery, turrets and shields.
>>579051962>>579055878Blood Ravens are GOATed, a shame that Games Workshop treats them like they don't exist.
>>579051962I'll always like this for being one of the attempts that got closest to real-time tabletop. Everyone bitches about this though because its not the DoWI style of slamming masses of armies at each other though.
>>579057337FROM THE STARTLETS FUCKING GOOOO!!!
>>579055406I also find it very difficult to expand as Astrogoth. Its often better to raze neighboring settlements to create a buffer while funneling your raw materials towards your capital. Since you dont need growth to upgrade your towers you can build tall that way.
First power fist acquired. Time to mince some Xeno scum!>>579057412I mean.. has that company done anything good in the past decade?>>579057457Trust u me, I had to deal with hordes of dow2 haters over the years. Always moaning about wanting their company of heroes clone back..
>>579057337About a year
>>579056769The funny thing is that the Greenskins and Skaven were wiped out really early in my campaign. I just focused on trying to ally with Warhost of Zhaar and the Legion but despite my amazing relationships with them, they won't confederate, meanwhile every time I win a war, I don't get the whole province, now I've got these hardy as fuck Masters of Innovation who will fight and die to the last man to deal with and also I have to deal with a combination of Kislev and two Vampire Counts on my Western Front and meanwhile my military alliance with the Legion means I have to deal with the triple powers of Grand Cathay to the North. Not to mention that the Ogres have been eyeing me up for a while. I simply don't have the money to run more than like 3-4 armies and none of them are very leveled since the Masters of Innovation ran a fucking circuit on my capitol and now I have to rebuild my entire province from scratch.
>>579056364NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DO THAT NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>579056364i always autoresolve that nigga..
>Me looking for a beta invite
>>579057629I've been assured that DoWII is an obamagame and therefore could have nothing good about it, despite the fact that the base-building in DoWI was cursory at best, and DoWI had an annoying amount of micro at a high level too, and that DoWI also had a "squishy" feeling to it...Not that DoWII was perfect, but I feel like it got hit with the last wave of the annoying eightchan types that hate anything new even though not even a few years after it RTS games that eschewed base-building became very popular and now its difficult for a normal base-building RTS to succeed, because the fanbase has entered the same territory Quake III fans are in, where everything new is either too different for it be good or exactly like the old games, in which why would they stop playing the old games.Also, I think normies gravitated to DoWI because the cartoonish Secondary view of 40k is "durr big dumb steroid men march at each other firing blindly hurrr" when, at least at one point, the tabletop game did actually demand you have a mind for tactics and strategy, much of which mirrors a more modern combat style of wargame, you know, since they have guns and all.
>>579058165Hold the phone, first I gotta wheeze about>obamagameOh my god that's so fucking funny.. What does that even mean..Is a shame they never made another dow2 game. I don't think I ever came across a game that is like this. Squad, mission based campaign is mega fun. And it's cool in coop too. This style was invented and abandoned.. but I want more. I'm fucking sick of CRPG nonsense with turn based snooze combat and 200word essay chats.. This game is way easier to enjoy. Mini cutscenes, 10 seconds voiced mission briefing, go slay and farm items.
>>579058165because the only option was play sc2, which still hasnt been toppled, or play warcraft 3, an old game, or play aoe2, another old game, the new aoe games were just bad apparently with stupid bullshit like huns tc rush or something
>>579058952>fast forward to 2026>the biggest RTS multiplayer scene on the market is... AoE2kek
>battles begin with a randomized cinematic showing your customized and painted in your color troops deploying and aurafarmingStroke of a geniusNo doubt ripped off from Darktide and Space Marine 2 while actually delivering on a promise from Rome 2>>579057337Don't care, I want to play it asap, just give it to me
>>579058165Pretty much agree. DoW2 was always good and has aged extremely well. I have roughly 900ish hours across the expansions since 2009 because 3v3 multiplayer is addicting. Poor reception came mostly from basebuilder absolutists, while others complained the scale was too small. These are subjective issues. I respect their opinion but it doesn't make the game bad.
>>579059071im going to /yourdudes/ the aeldari so hard when it comes out
>>579058952Don't forget SupCom. I'd say it's the best RTS for people who enjoy base building and large scale battles. But it's slower paced which means the Koreans never got into it.
>>579059386bro, broodwar is slow as shit and janky as fuck and is still popular in korea
>tfw cathayans bring overwhelming numbers of peasants>tfw you cast burning head and it travels perfectly through 4 peasant longspearmen and a jade warrior unit>tfw that flank instantly crumples
>>578994526More often than not you give the tittle to someone after the original coubt has died or their whole faction is gone.And if the Emperor doesnt have the authority to reinstate a new count I dont know who does.If I confederate ither counts as him I give the tittle back to the original but thats just me rp:ing
And yeah, it's not a premade cutscene for quest battles only like until now. Shilltubers did not misinterpret this eitherIt shows up for every battle in game, you can check it across different wideos, but it randomizes for each of them>>579059309I'm going to play as Eldar first as well
Sex with Yin-Yin (Changeling)
luthor will shoot nagash and his faggot booksur faggot lord reads faggot booksfag
>Custom SoB'sOh my god...
>>579059568k that was the least important part of my postit's definitely much slower paced than star craft, and koreans never got to it. Those are facts. Idunno if that's the reason why they never played it, it was mostly a joke about how koreans are known for high apm gameplay. It's all relative anyway.
A FUCKING BOOK VFX
>>579060004Could've had brettonia reworked instead...
This will sell gazillions of cosmetic dlcs
>>579059962could just be that its a bad game, it really says something if theyre stilling willing to play brood war, which has a fuck load of issues
>>579060293Paint ma orks purple so 'umiez won't be able ta eva shoot im.
Looking through those intros, this use more varied shots for HQ
i bet the books nagash reads are harry potter and the faggot of the faggot times dlc nagash is a fag and you are a fag
>>579060769>
Hey lore nerds.What exactly is this sand storm looking thing? Are that actual Tyranids or is that their way of traveling through space? I never quite figured that out..
will we get warhammer 4 or are they gonna be all in on 40k from now on..?
>>579060957Dem's nids
at 750 i made the new threadhurray>>579061363>>579061363>>579061363
>>579061376you forgot the link to this thread in the op
>>579060957Spores that begin converting the biomass and climate of the planet. The big ships will land some tyranids but once they get rolling they just keep converting organic matter on the planet into new tyranids. After everything is taken over they turn it all back into goo and the big ships schlorp it up and go on their way leaving a dead ball of rock behind.
>>579059962>>579060302People who lived in Korea at the time say Supreme Commander had the issue that no one could run it over there because computers were shit. Also StarCraft already had a stranglehold so SupCom had to work twice as hard to get noticed at all.
skarbrand is such a cool lord i love a giant fucking demon just murdering everything
>>579062117Doesn't hurt that he has some real cool animations as well
>>579062117I love giant fucking demons also
It would be stupid to start my first Vampire Counts campaign now, right?
