High Elves = 7 lordsLizardmen = 7 lordsSkaven = 7 lordsDark Elves = 6 lords
>>579151709bretonnia status?
They're going to make custom battles of iconic 40k moments but the Marines will all be Primaris.
>>579150989I will absolutely be antagonizing the galaxy as Craftworld Biel-tan.
>>579151909More like craftworld biel-cuck lol
Invader ATV soon, friends!
>>579152086>*inferior mon'keigh ape noises*Huh? Speak up, son.
>>579152298I am actually a tyranid player but my subfaction wasn't cucked by a subfaction that is now irrelevant which is even worse than being a cucked subfaction in the first place.It's the circle of cucks.Also one of my zoanthropes accidentally a whole craft world.
>>579152298>steps on soulstone
>>579151709DLC SOON.
Reminder that the big twist is that Chapter Master Septyn is a Chaosmanii.
>>579152439Sorry sweaty, this thread is only for factions who were important enough to be in the game from the start. Come back in another year or two and maybe your kind will be relevant.
>>579152090honestly I prefer it over the old attack bike
What's with all the screams and moans in wood elf territory?
>>579152681Its pretty /comfy/ being a tyranid player because outside of the swarmlord who admittedly is pretty gay I don't have to worry about glup shittos in my faction.
I dont think i've seen anything like morghasts from warcraft, I think ff xiv is a better fit though.
>>579152709OK I'll bite, why?>>579152791Morghasts look like they walked straight out of Maldraxus in WoW I can't think of a single FFXIV character that looks remotely like Morghasts.
>>579152791>morghasts from warcraft
>>579152439>nids wish they come soon. hive guards are kino
>>579153203>>579152791>I dont think i've seen anything like morghasts from warcraft
>>579152868I guess I just never liked attack bikes for being asymmetrical
>>579153474You are free to like most things, I just think the Invader looks incredibly terrible though.
>>579152868>FFXIV characterwell duh there are no characters that are gonna look like them, there are a couple of mobs though. I guess off the top of my head, the Gargoyles fit the best? They even share the same weapons i think. >Maldraxus in WoWAside from the purple, not really seeing it. >>579153203Oh hey its the vampire count dragon>>579153350oh hey its something that looks like nothing like a morghast.
>>579153656>Oh hey its the vampire count dragon>oh hey its something that looks like nothing like a morghastoh you're being a fucking faggot instead of just admitting you're wrong, guess we're done here
>>579153656>. I guess off the top of my head, the Gargoyles fit the best?Amazing this is 100% indistinguishable from the image of an FFXIV mob you posted. I can't see any differences.Good job anon you cracked the code.
>>579153656Did you fucking faggot just insult my beloved Frost Wyrms, which includes SINDRAGOSA?? By calling them worthless vamp dragon filth?YOUR LIFE IS WORTHLESSEND IT
>>579153763sorry that im able to think anon. Something you cant do, hope you can enjoy boss baby though. >>579153785>Amazing this is 100% indistinguishable from the image of an FFXIV mobWell there are obvious differences, but its closer in line than literally anything else people have called it with in warcraft.
>>579153974You should take your own life. Your entire family is waiting. They wish to see you filth be gone.
>>579153974>but its closer in line than literally anything else people have called it with in warcraftNot really. Like at all.I don't really see any similarities between the two. Can you point out what they are?Maybe I guess they both have wings? Both things have a head? Sky's the limit when two things have a head I suppose.
>>579153863what is this goblin. Looks like a worse marie rose.
Incredible trolling going on ITT actually
>>579153656That looks absolutely fucking nothing like a morghast. The WoW things were pretty much identical in vibe though. I have no idea how you can be so blind.
>>579154336its why i stopped responding, either he's trolling or genuinely retarded and neither is worth wasting time on
>>579154281This is my UglyFu, Ingrid. She used to be a cute girl but then the horror game engine of resident evil happened to her. It was a horrible accident.. she resembles a defirmed and mutated chaos spawn but she's still herself. Mm...Sf6 is the worst game ever made.
>>579154575I'm sorry for your lots.
Should I try Tomb Kings or Dark Elves for the first time?>>579154281>Marie Rosesexo
>>579154237Does the model in tww even have the ghost things? I didnt even notice them. Either way they have a closer silhouette to the ffxiv creature. If you put some skin on that thing and maybe removed the plating it would basically be the gargoyle. >>579154381>in vibe thoughNo, not really. Are you saying this because you played world craft? I guess exposure to it might make you think that.
Amazing trolling going on ITTT its one for the history books really
>>579153863>the tranny poster is from Warcraft lol no surprise there. Go back.
>>579154575Award for worst avatarfag of the year goes to you
>>579154630It's not all bad. I'm luckily a Tekken enjoyer so I at least don't have to endure the torture which goes by the name of sf6.But it is a shame that they decided to give Ingrid fetal alcohol syndrome and autism. Oh well..>>579154970I am.. "from warcraft"? Damn.. am I like.. a citizen of Stormwind? What class am I? I hope I'm a priest!
Has Venris finally jumped the shark?
God I wish xiv wasnt in a dogshit state so I could go back and pla- nvm the games filled with trannies now anyways. Maybe it would help if we knew what morghast actually looked like when they were living but until then this is my bet to what they looked like before they died.
>>579155263It's clear he did the races he cares about early, and doesn't know what to do with later ones.His vampire rework is super trash tier.
>>579155263>AoE on death on mobsKind of OP no?
>>579155379>>579155263Isn't that super bad because the entities getting thrown about get I-frames so damage goes down
>>579152709attack bikes with armed sidecars should have been a Guard vehicle not Space MarineGW should leave the more realistic stuff copied from world war history books for IG, SM should focus on the retardedly impractical grimdark designs
>>579155445its damage going down from shitty laborers so nothing lost at all but tons gained as each dead gobbo now means 80+ free damage onto enemy units
>>579155274>transphobia in big 26Chuddie, back to >>>/pol/But also, conplaining about tranners in ff while being in /twg/.. warhammer, especially 40k, is close to fallout new vegas in trans popularity. Final fantasy is nowhere close to warhammer when it comes to lgbt players and fans.
what are these banner things? can i equip them??
>>579156301to your lords yes, then when a battle starts you can assign the banner's effect to whatever unit you want
>>579156301A weapon to surpass my autism..Yes anon, you can equip em. They are in ancillaries.
>>579156615where do i equip them at? i cannot find them, are they ancillaries?
>>579156721yeah
I miss when the passfag would post Total War related images. Alas, the attention trooned him out..
>>579156818I can't bring my warhammer folder with me on my phone. It already crashes sometimes when I open the gallery. It's a very weak phone.
>>579156650>>579156787ty
Why are guns in TW3 so bad compared to xbows and bows? They get fucked by the slightest inconvenience in line of sight so a good number of their models can't fire, they can only target the frontmost part of a unit and thus deal less damage. I guess their only upside is being unmatched in killing lords and other single entities but it's not like bows are bad at that in comparison.
>With CA confirming Space Marine generic characters that get wounded too much can be interred into a DreadnoughtLolLMAOGOT DECADE
>>579158176You niggers kept screeching for realism and then CA made line of sight good and units could also shoot from inside other infantry units.But then you niggas screeched about balance so CA reverted all of that and made them all retarded again.
I am the spreader of supreme mega beastmen AIDS
>>579156042>warhammer, especially 40k, is close to fallout new vegas in trans popularity.Explains the amount of gross stinking slobs among ye.>>579158176Too many retards in the community so we can't have nice things.
>>579159172>cheatsI sleep
ANOOONNNI-I just played my fav awesome vidya, total war warhammer 3 and went into ranked b-because campaign i-is not weal total war.I m-made my cool super fast shootie cav stack that auto w-wins all battles.A-and my opponent played wood elves.ANOOONNN He DIDNT LEAVE THE WOODS...Anon he just sat in woods with his wood elves.THATS NOT FAIRITS AGAIN THE RULESHE MADE ME LOSE HE CHEATED
>>579159908In CA hosted MP tourneys they have refs that warn you if you camp in woods too much
>>579159908
>>579159908>camped in woodsdon't people play that point capture mode now to avoid all those silly shenanigans
What's with all these built in diplomacy penalties with the other dwarf clans?Did Ungrim fart extra loud at the last meeting?
>>579160186Did you confederate someone recentlyYou get penalties for a few turns if you do
>>579160121I play MP ranked like once every 2-3 months while shitfaced..I have all the modes selected but the only matches I ever get are open field and there is a 90% chance that they are camping in a hill with avalanche mortars. This is not even a joke. The other 10% are beastmen shooting cav stacks.
>>579160417I'm like turn 10.Apparently Ungrim pissed in Zhufbars wheaties in particular. Big "Historical Relations" penalty.
>>579160186>>579160981Zhufbar specifically has that penalty for two reasons.Reason 1) It was designed back when CA wanted every faction to have a nearby "same race but hates you" faction near the start of the campaign.Reason 2) Lorewise Kadrin and Zhufbar hate one another until they team up to fight Chaos Dwarfs.
>>579156065If a lord is equipped with them (ancillary slot) then before a fight you can drag the circle to a character in your army to give them the benefits.
>>579162453You are too late, anon. He died.
>ruined your total war
>>579162796*saved your total war
>>579152090I gave up Warhammer as a hobby because of this modelI was already thinking about it because it was getting so expensive but this shit pushed me over the edge
>>579162894Why does a little car make 40k fans wet the panties? Is just a car..
Vroom Vroom, I make anons an hero!
>>579150989There were 'traitor guardsmen' factions listed but I expect they'll just be secessionists rather than lost and the damned. Which I really feel CA fumbled on. It'd have been easy to slap in some lost and the damned skins for the guardsmen, nothing special just a quick job to tide over until a proper pack.>>579152868I actually like how XIV and by extension the japs often do demons. Over here we're usually locked to>Angry red hoofed animal but human>Human but scary>Succubus slut>Fat belly rotpot.But shit like Hades or some of the Claymore girls turned monsters has a cool baroque quality to it, like a demon decided they wanted to look like a work of art. That Polish artist who does hell pics is an example of how demonology ought to be done more often by the same token - feels more like fallen angels seeing creation and going "I can make that better">>579155274The pop won't change but at least we won't be stuck with a saccharine shithole of tacos in a few months.
>>579163638>how the japs do demonsI like that too. Here we have an entire group of demons, including demon lord Anos and reincarnated hero Kanon.
>>579163528>ATV first person mode Gaylobros...
If the ATV gets in someone better make a mario kart mod.
the fuck is an amethyst wizard
>>579162796made it better you meanwhat don't you like about his changes?
>>579164159He wizards at purple stones.
>>579164159Elspeth's slaves.
>>579164207vamp counts confederation don't give you territory anymore
>>579159908Go hug Yae miko to feel better raiden.>>579163972Don't be pedantic, buddy. I can just as easily point to Lucifer, Supernatural and Buffy to show how Westerners do devils poorly.
>>579164359well that's understandable but I like the logic that it makes the game too easy if it does, and it's kind of thematic that you need to beat them into submission (can't confed until they have a certain amount of settlements). that being said I'm sure there will be a mod that removes that and you just get all their regions as before
>>579164406My name isn't raiden.I dunno what pedantic means but I love these demons. Misha Necron is my fav. She is soo cute.I also loved supernatural when I was young.
>>579164684Oh I thought you were being rude and mocking my point about Japanese demons. My bad then. That is a cute demon.
>>579164993I also love Skarbrand ofc, he husbando.The only demons I don't like are the succubus slut with enormous tits and everything slaanesh makes.. besides the licky schlick lick horsies. Those are awesome and I keep wanting to play slaanesh for the horsies but everything else is just so garbage looking. Tzeentch isn't much better but Kairos carries.
Which one of you is this???>Shadowverse playerKino...>WB existsbhwahhahahahahi fucking hate cygames so much
>>579165768Those are noob numbers. A real /twg/ nerd has at least 1k https://steamcommunity.com/id/AnimeIsFuckingTrash2/games/?tab=all
>>579166050Surprised you haven't picked up the Rimworld/Factorio autism yet.
>>579166429I don't like those.I played factorio a lot with my fren but the stupid aliens are just mega annoying and ruin the fun. The entire game was just running around with my blueprint for train tracks and building through the entire map to new ore points cause they just dry up eventually.. I tried rimworld a few times, had fun, then stupid things attacked and ruined my fun. The combat in that game is awful.
>>579151709The main characters of the Warhammer Fantasy story.
Ancient Kino...meanwhile we can't get an intro scene for old lords.. just a zoom in on campaign start..CA you are a gigantic faggot kike.
skarbrand would be cooler if he fly

Should I take kaitros at first as teclis or go after the skaven?
>>579172782Skaven. You dont need to rush and kill Kairos anymore you got tons of options to deal with him when he invades.
>when kairos invadesdon't u mean when he jobs to lizards on turn 10?
>>579173286shut up zhaoeven if he is your buddy, you basically hand over half your land to gelt because he says the funny lines
>>579173328All land belongs to the dragon emperor, brother. When you invite your mate over for a sleepover, he doesn't automatically own your house.
>kislev province mechanic requires 50+ public orderIs it even possible to have non negative public order on the harder difficulties?

It's time for an Aislinn campaign. I just know this guy is going to have a lot of overpowered stuff since he is a recent release.

Is RoC campaign dead for good now?

drycha gets turned into a nugget in alarielle's sex mod
>>579175639Keep us posted.
drycha wood smoked nuggies.. yummy
Do you agree about their choices?
>>579173563The normally worthless public order skills are actually good on Kislev. Its possible to get +50 but it requires investment.
>>579174260I think I see what you mean. The capital is really well defended but you can always withdraw your archers once they run out of ammo and attack again.
>>57917613540k is a different setting than it was when I got the battle for macragge box set for christmas 20 years ago. I am at peace with this, are you?
i fight for ghengis khan
As a Bestiality fetishist (Not Beastmen, that's too sentient) Drycha has been a godsend
>>579176449are the dryads even considered animals? I know they're not people but they're not really the same as an animal.
>>579176162This shit again..Bro, I have people in here calling me trash at total war all day long but then I see a million people struggle with the Aislinn battle.I played him twice, both times the defending army inside was WAY LARGER and one time he even had a 2nd army..And I still demolished them without issue.fkn..what u mean withdraw archers..Just fucking kill them man.
>>579155263>finallySFO is trash
>>579176509nowe would have to rethink how plants work but they wouldn't be considered animals
>>579156818bruh
>>579164359NICE, TRULY OUR SAVIOUR
>>579164359Same as beastmen.
What do we think of Krootniggas?
>>579177882They aren't ever going to live up to the hola skink memes.
>>579177882Some Kroot are pretty handsome..
>play sayl>chaos dwarves actually recruit chaos dwarf units now and manage to push me backWell, that campaign was a loss. What should I try now? I was thinking either aislinn or malakai to do an ordertide roam and help out other order factions
>>579176639have you tried turning the difficulty past easy?
>>579178015Thorgrim ORDERTIDE
>>579178015Losing a campaign at all is embarrassing. Losing as a giga-powercrept faction like Sayl is crazy. Check your home for a gas leak or something.
>>579177882Just another xeno to kill.
>>579150962you already got what you wanted, now leave.
>>579178075Anon, I have never not played VH/VHBut guess what..When you struggle with shit that I, the man of 88888 Skarbrand campaigns, can handle.. well.. If you are unlucky the thread will start bullying you.
>>579177882Love them
What setting turns off this blurry outline shit
>>579178164>giga-powercreptI overextended and my army consisted of a couple trolls and a marauder stack. It wasn't worth trying to salvage even if I probably could manage it by saving my capital and recruitning marauder champions that take 2 turns for some reason.
>>579178590you say this like i should know who you are
>>579178590> 88888how did u add another 8... wtf..
>>579178681Khorne needs skulls, anon sama. We must keep adding 8s to his throne. He liked 8 a lot.>>579178675Welcome to /twg/, anon.

Dude I fucking love my allies swooping and yoinking a settlement that' is completely useless to them and then valuing it at 100k gold. Especially when it's part of my quest. Peak game design.
>>579179065Try offering a settlement with 2 military recruitment buildings
>>579179065skill issue
>>579152458I hate this artists because he's allergic to light. I can tell it's high quality but it's all in the fucking dark. Just like many WH3 maps. WH3 looks amazing when units are in direct sunlight. But once that light disappears everything looks washed out and lame.
>>579152458Who do you think will be the next legendary lord? My guess is one of the helbanes.
>>579152458feet
>>579180691Egrimm, IMO.As safe and as boring as it is, that single LL would still be hype af after 40k comes out and would bring people back to play WH3.
Confederation is a bad mechanic and the people who want to collect all the legendary lords should never have been pandered to so much.
I don't mind the lords, it's the province management that makes my blood boil.
Why confederate? Don't you want your allies to have their difficulty bonuses?
>>579181687I want the LL
>>579181518I like when it's thematic like archaon or Nagash. But overall I think better vassal mechanics would be much more loreful.
>>579181518>>579182662lore is for faggots I'm here to get my boys together and fuck up some elfs
>>579182791Same but getting my boys together to fuck the elfs
>>579180135My main problem with pic is Lokhir being way too close in the foreground.>>579180135Maybe Shadowblade.
how is such a unit allowed to be tier 1
Do buildings built in capitals/settlements benefit from this? Does it only apply to the initial building of each capital/settlement? i.e. if I build a Web of Secrets, does its income get increased by 25% after researching this or is the effect restricted to just the Soul Keep or other equivalent building?
Will we get another marketing video in 3 hours?
>>579183768Only the core settlement/capital building.
>>579183791It's the week end in Britain and Bulgaria.
>>579183768Only the main building, but with how many income boosts you get from other buildings and resource buildings it does more than it sounds like it will.
>>579182662I think when they inevitably release Total Warhammer Definitive Edition, it would behoove them to revisit a lot of core mechanics and change things up to be more Warhammer Fantasy.
>>579150808Love this bug
>>579184137So, it's better to pick it up later once I have other boosts? I rushed it on one attempt, and it did almost nothing.
>>579178164>giga-powercrept faction like SaylYeah, marauders are so OP units
>>579184489Probably yeah. Better to get those income boost buildings up first other wise it's not gonna be super noticeable
>>579184370The fact it has a nuke that goes off if it dies bothers me.I hate sore losers.
there's a massive m2ex update on github, did anyone try it?
>>579184927I'm sure is the latest test version from the discord, grab it, with it you can play EOP mods that crashed before
>>579184927i'm using the very latest from the discord that also has EOP support, but its still in test so its prob not on githubconstant updates are a bit annoying ngl but I AM playing AGO so
>>579152458>>579151709They also need a new shielded unit, like city guard and missing lores of magic (mpfaggots can go to hell), and I guess other stuff they are missing, probably some hero units. Also, they should allow for the same recruitment as other factions have, no I don't care that they have Black Arks.
>>579185061it broke my europa barbarorum install, I guess I'd have to reinstall, I'll try it later, the changes look promisingI dont understand why he's moving dx9 to dx12 instead of vulkan which will be more stable long term
skimmed some chaff off my med2 folder... that broken steam and steel mod

Having my first actually successful campaign for once as Arkhan of all things. Probably obvious to most people but the game feels a lot better and less frusturating after taking the time to learn how to compose an army instead of just picking random shit I think looks strong. I might be able to get my first short campaign objective done at this right if I can carve my way through all the lizards down south and keep bribing the dwarves, very exciting stuff.Ushabti LOVE!
Are there any lords we know are going to have majorly different campaigns after the end times updates? >settra>archaon>whatever the girl tomb king is called I can't imagine kislev are going to feel any more pressured than normal, or anyone really in the chaos wastes.
>>579187147>Probably obvious to most people but the game feels a lot better and less frusturating after taking the time to learn how to compose an army instead of just picking random shit I think looks strong.I started learning the game a month ago, and I hard agreeIt's so annoying that i'm like 10 years behind so its quite the undertaking
>>579183675Armor and shields are badly tuned in this game. In fact, they have been ever since Rome 2, which is just Empire/Napolean forced to be an ancient melee warfare game, which is why in that game you can just spam slingers, because the engine was designed for ranged combat over melee.
>>579183675High Elves really do just start out with one of the best basic lineholders and one of the best basic archers right out at tier 0, not even a building required.
>>579187202Glotkin and the new WoC and Rat units might make the current rat and WoC fuckers around kislev a bit stronger and harder to deal with but otherwise only old world and southlands are getting new fuckers in the area to deal with. Lustria and the entire west side of the map are gonna be pretty much the same besides having to deal with new endgame stuff, Cathay shouldn't be all that different either.

>>579187202All Vampire Counts.Sigvald is getting locked out of non-Slaanesh marks.Karl Franz might get easier yet again with Boris as a bufferElspeth is probably harder with Thanqol.Dwarfs will have new faction music. Daniel the Demon Prince will be EVEN HARDER because of the Regiment of Renown caps.
>>579151498A lot of people, corruption was badly done in game 3 by design, you couldnt take vampire or skaven provinces as chaos, you needed a rift or untainted unit to take it.That was the first problem, then they decided to add a base untainted to all main settlement buildings and made the malus even weaker. Not just that but osmosis is pointless right now.Atleast in older titles eveb a single point of corruption was useful. You see it with skaven that no longer has any use for the untaited mechanic of theirs.
>>579187202Skaven as a whole got a bunch of new options so they might change a bitKarl and Elspeth gets a few new units, as well as fighting the reworked VC and Thanquol (if he survives)
>>579187841Thanks, I just remember that daniel without ROR is reduced to a fodder army until turn 30.
>>579183675CA is scared of making armour actually useful and gave everyone AP, same reason skavenslaves or zombies can actually take down elite units. Also the same reason why elites are no longer that needed unless you can buff them to hell and beyond.

This is Total War Katarin campaign.Turn 1 declare war on all factions other than fellow Kislevites.
>>579192017Empire with all tech greatsword massacre High elves with all tech swordmasters. Which is very funny.
speaking of more sane reddit posts, I read this the other daycould be true.... I want to believe in the dogs
>>579191398If redditors knew how OP Cathay is in the ranged division in 8.0/8.1 they'd be throwing a hissy fit
Go back
>>579192227desu the sad thing is that people from CA actually regularly read the reddit, so they have real input on the game whether we like it or notthat's why I'm considering posting my ideas there more often myself, but it's also filled with opinions that piss me off like this empire is actually powercrept thingand not skaven, which will be the faceroll rape faction of the DLC probably
>>579192017>empire is supposed to hols the lineThey cant hold for shit for a long time and this isnt couting their best cost effective unit is spearman shields that requires a barrack and cant push back. Greatswords are a meme despite with how much you can buff them.>mah empire is supposed to suck
currently watching redditors have a meltdown because Empire is gonna get good melee infantry with Teutogen Guard
>>579192473Tried once to post there but couldnt, redditors gatekeep everything even their official forums are dead. CA got into their minds that the reason the game isnt hard or doesnt last long is because of the lacj of confederations rather than pushing for powercreep and removing negative effects and dillemas.
I'm more worried about these Skaven Verminlords.
>>579192904Stop looking at their abs.
wait am i wrong or do teutogen guard do the same thing as greatswords tho....they're not hold the line inf aren't they, i think they're supposed to be damage dealers
seriously when will they stop squeezing out wh3? are they going to milk it forever? 40k looked so fucking bad that I worry they'll just keep milking wh3 at same time as 40k because I dont think 40k will be the massive success wh3 was
>>579193008They're basically hammerers but slightly better. They'll do whatever you need them to do(on the battlefield)
>>579193008Correctthe only heavily armored shielded unit in the empire roster is still eldred's guard and they don't have AP
>>579193130>I dont think 40k will be the massive success wh3 was

>>579192148is this true?
>>579192732"... May the name German be affirmed by you in such a way in China that no Chinese will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at a German."It didn't work out
>>579193151>>579193182so why are people complaining about a greatswords sidegrade
>>579193381because "muh empire isn't meant to have good infantry" they just don't realize that teutogen guard still aren't going to be good without boris' buffs and even then the empire still doesn't have a roster which really supports heavy infantry aggression anyways
>>579192904Mods that turn them into ratgirls when?
>>579193008What tier are they? By the time I get to 4/5 I've already won
>>579193130Even if it was as bad as you think it is it's still going to be the best selling TW ever
>>579152439I love doro
There's something bugged with fire while moving units in WH3, they keep targeting 1 dude in an entire unit and waste 99% of the arrows
>>5791936963 iirc, so you get them late anyway
>>579192904I don'tThe have about the same DPS as ratlings, though they can shoot over alliesRatlings have less DPS than Jade Xbows in 8.0 btw ;)
>>579193789Ah 3 is still pretty good then
>>579193314I was curious so looking at stats...Without technologySwordmasters have>Health per entity +8>Entities -20>Armor +5>Parry Chance 30>Leadership +5>Speed +5>Melee Attack +14>Melee Defense +6>Weapon Strength +5>Charge Bonus +10Compared to Greatswords.With all technologies for Swordmasters and all technologies for Greatswords you instead end up at...>Health per entity +8>Entities -20>Armor -10>Parry Chance 30>Leadership +0>Speed +3>Melee Attack +15>Melee Defense +2>Weapon Strength +6>Charge Bonus +2Greatswords do have +10% Missile Resist.So greatswords end up better armored than swordmasters, but otherwise swordmasters still have better stats per entity.However both have significantly more MA than the others MD when technologies are maxed out, so the numbers advantage might be big enough, especially because the Greatswords end up with more armor than the swordmasters.
>>579193787https://youtu.be/Uj6YAk0_5nA?t=114

>>579195732Yeah undead are far too realiant on zombos and before that on skellies, most of the time. Intelligent undead gey the short end of the stock for some reason (why do vampires crumble instead of gtfo?)
>>579196023Thing is I'm not even sure how to really balance it in a way that feels fair.I just know that the fact that most of my army exists just for AR, while in manual battle it's all either monster mash with my tanky stuff or hide it all in the forest while lords/heroes do work, is not the correct way.Should non-vampire units just have expendable
>>579192732>Empire infantry equal to ChosenYou realize this is in fact a bad and stupid thing, right?
>>579196763Empire is supposed to be the strongest faction in the game.
FINALLY got the boardermen
unless you're a MPfag idk why you'd give a shit with unit balance in campaign when you can buff almost any unit to god tier with the right traits and perks
>>579197604Thing is people that play campaign demand high stats BEFORE campaign buffs. Thus ruining MP.
>>579197706do they though? or is that either a reddit anecdote or made up in your head?
>>579197557what's their special sauce
>>579197459empire should be an all rounder with a high skill ceiling that can be the strongest faction in the game if you play them rightThey should not be stronger than the dudes buffed by dark gods to be unreasonably strong

>>579197909>should be an all rounder with a high skill ceiling that can be the strongest faction in the game if you play them rightThat's just elves in the tabletop.

>Looking up lore of the primarchs (as a way to choose which legions I like in preparation for TW).Man, I gotta say, Magnus has to be one of the unluckiest dudes in the setting. Which is funny because otherwise he's like, top 5 or even 3 primarchs. He's smart, he's compassionate, he (used to) have the best of intentions, and his psychic powers put him relatively close to the Emperor himself in power. But none of that matters because he just keeps getting up on the wrong side of the bed.
I hate to have to war these guys over only 3 settlements but if you don't do it it's forever border gore
>>579198478Disgusting racemixng whore.
>>579198553I'm sorry to tell you this anon, but most primarchs aren't actually relevant at all to the lore/story/battles.And the ones who are relevant are boring as fuck because they have to be written into maintainers of the status quo to stop them from changing things.
>>579198553He's a walking failure and a willing traitor. Only backstabber the Emperor has given a chance to come back to the light multiple times and he always chose chaos. Fuck Magnus.
>>579198478
>>579198570If you take some of norsca, put 1-2 military buildings in a settlement, you can trade it to Kislev for their settlements.At most you have to add like 10k to 20k gratuity on top.Or they'll pay you if it's a capital.
>>579198810if they have those settlements built up its damn near impossible to convince em to trade tho
>>579198673Magnus shows up to be beaten up many times. He's pretty relevant these days because he again started shit with the space woofs.
>>579198810>>579198894altho, the AI values military buildigns a lot when trading settlements? didn't know that
>>579198673I mean, aren't they bringing back more and more primarchs anyway? And besides that, I feel like learning about them and how they shaped their legions might be one of the best ways to decide which ones I like.>>579198790When did Emps give him a chance to come back? I mean, before the others sabotaged it the first time and Magnus became convinced Emps was just looking for the chance to kill him.

Give me one good reason why Aislinn doesn't even get an upkeep discount for Lothern Sea Guard in his own army.
I don't see us getting fleet combat, but I would love boarding action fights. 40k and its stupid huge ships would actually allow for full battles in hangers and shit, though probably needing to lock out certain army abilities/support/reinforcement types to make sense.
>>579198553>because he just keeps getting up on the wrong side of the bed.he kept doing it because he thought the side he chose must be the right side by the virtue of him getting up on ithe was hubristic and refused to accept that despite all his upsides he was still in over his headalso primarchs basically do not matter for 95% of a chapter's lore, even with modern GW trying to force primarch shit
>>579199505that's just WH3 lightingnot using any mods for it some maps are paintedit makes me sick to play these skaven sieges out I always AR just cause of pic rel
>>579199153Lexicanum and some lore videos.Also, I might consider trying to read a book or two and get the story firsthand... but I've been warned there's an obscene amount of them and many of them are dumb af.
>fleets have shielding statHmm. I'm guessing certain actions and buildings groundside, and winning battles, let you reduce enemy fleet shielding to let you kick them off planet, either completely securing it, or cutting off support and retreat for groundside armies.
>>579199668
>>579199668God I hate these Skaven sieges. One one hand they're always annoying because infinite Warp Lightning and little fuckers are always running away and coming back. But then on the other hand it makes no fucking sense why there is a walled settlement like this in a fuck huge underground cavern. It looks retarded.
>>579199083>When did Emps give him a chance to come back?Magnus was granted mercy even in the moment he infiltrated in to the Imperial Palace to try and find a shard of himself and he still refused. Even when he regained all his shards and was 100% himself he chose chaos. He's a chaos schizo and always was one.

Really do have to wonder why their dl scheme will be for 40k. Because I really did like the rivalry gimmick they had going for most of fantasy.
>empiresissies finally got chosenmanni radious would be proud
>>579199505If Yellow is Mexico, what is Green? Brazil? DRC?
>>579200330dlc? it will be paradox level of greediness
>>579198553Magnus is a retard through and through. He's the definition of a high intelligence, no wisdom character. He was constantly pursuing knowledge no matter the cost and never stopping to wonder if maybe what he was doing was dangerous or not in humanity's best interests. Even when directly told by the Emperor to not do shit like sorcery, he continued doing it because in his mind he was so smart that nothing could turn out bad for him. Never mind the fact that he made a deal with an unknown warp entity (Tzeentch) for the power to stop the Flesh Change temporarily as one of the first things he did after the Emperor found him.Dipshit was too smart for his own good and it landed him with a razed planet, a shattered soul, and eternal enslavement to a daemon god. Magnus did nothing wrong. He was told to do nothing and he couldn't even manage that.
>>579200280>night lords exclusive option: terrorise local population
>>579200107Why would population mechanics be relevant to a game focused on short military campaigns?
>>579199952Magnus never had a real backstory before the Heresy series. He was just another traitor primarch.
what is the hardest difficulty you can play wh3 and you don't need to cheat and exploit everything in order to win?campaign on legendary and battles on normal?what is a balanced way to play the game?how do you play it?
>>579199952>character is a unrepentant chaosfag before the heresy series>character is a unrepentant chaosfag after the heresy series. Wow he changed so much!
>>579199727>Also, I might consider trying to read a book or two and get the story firsthand... but I've been warned there's an obscene amount of them and many of them are dumb af.Almost any book about space marines of any flavor are shit.Almost every book involving the horus heresy is shit.When people tell you about good 40k books, there are two scales.Good for a 40k book (which means it's basically pulp trash you'd want to pick up off of a discount shelf)or a Good Scifi/Fantasy book.Most of the ones that are good scifi/fantasy books are things like Ghazghkull's book, or Kingmaker.

>>579200483Income related at minimum.Probably affects planetary governor opinion.Probably affects Ork and Guard recruitment.Could see it affecting construction and recuperation times.Could see it affecting some support options.In the aforementioned nurgle & tyranid strat they could easily make population damage into a troop or resource extraction gimmick.

>>579200330I liked it at first but then they started to go full retard with it.>Make Nakai vs Wulfhart, two characters that have never met in lore, that want nothing to do with each other, bending Wulfhart's lore and personality to sail to the other side of the world to kill a lizardman that was just defending it's territory from robbers and colonizers, when Wulfhart's lore is specifically that he refused a noble title because he wanted to stay in the Drakwald where the monsters are actually a threat to the Empire.>Later, add Taurox, Wulfhart's actual final big enemy in his lore who had a weakness pretty much tailor-made for their specific rivalry, and throw him in with Oxyotl who he again has never met before and should be on the other side of the world.

>>579200330>the rivalry gimmickShit was retarded from day one and they could barely even be consistent with it most of the time. The only times it ever really worked and made sense was>King and WarlordWhich to this day still doesn't have a proper 8 Peaks mechanic showing the war between the rival factions>Prophet and WarlockAnd only barely because the actual rivalry is between Sotek's Red Host and Clan Pestilens. It only works because Tehenhauin will fuck up all rats.>Warden and PaunchActual best rival DLCEverything else has been a huge reach for characters that mostly don't even interact.

>>579201919Neat, more rats to fry.
One thing I did notice in the battle footage is there seems to be little to no unit hiding? Like, breaking LoS with buildings didn't seem to make them vanish to the player like hills and forests do in Fantasy. No fog of war so to speak.
>>579202152Small family company etc
>>579202152In one of Zerkovich's battle he was "ambushed" by a squad of orks who were presumably able to sneak up on him because of LoS but when it happened he seems pretty confused by it so might have been a bug.
>>579202152Actually double checking, it did seem to happen with some buildings, but not all? Looks like the destructible ones don't but the larger ones"map fixture" buildings do.>>579202510Yeah I'm watching one of his vids now and the Ork stompa does hide behind something. Seems very inconsistent? Fixed map geometry seems to (sometimes?) hide enemies, but destructible buildings (which would, ideally, be most of the structures on the map) don't for some reason.
When is CA going to add more RoRs for the races that actually need them? Chaos has fucking 42 thanks to getting all the monogod RoRs, Empire will have 18 soon, Helves have 14, Skaven have 14+5 soon to be 17+5. Meanwhile Vampire Counts and Ogres have 9, Bretonnia has 6, Cathay and Kislev have 7. It's really shitty that the Counts aren't even getting a RoR in this DLC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip_75BN1sQUThe stats seems completely arbitrary and not really mapped to anything.
>>579202893Golgfag's Maneaters should've been a RoR and the new Maneater variants just be Maneaters with dual weapons.
>>579203472i belive there's one female vtuber that actually plays TWforgot which
>random seethe at Clio
>>579203337There is like, one anon that insists "she" is not a tranny, rather, its because of throat cancer or some dumb excuse like thatBut everyone else knows thats a tranny
damn Gelt doing well
>>579204241How the fuck did he get all the way over there?
>>579203638Its mapped to tabletop duhGood luck if you aren't used to tabletop tho
>that insists she is not a trannyshe's never mentioned trannies at all
>>579203638They're trying to make it appeal to normies but simplifying it not realizing normies aren't playing an rts to begin with
>>579204414I hate when game companies do this shit.
>>579204484is there a more destructive sentence than "wider audience"? Maybe "too big to fail"
>>579204616Nope. Same retarded decision making is what lead Sega to make CA create h*enas....
>>579204414>>579204484>>579204616Did you retards even watch the video?Hes complaining that its TOO complexJesus christ I swear to god you fags see the thumbnail and go on to post
>>579204331>during the game's lifespan GW will release another edition which will have different stats and fuck up balancing for CA
>>579204752Somethings will not changeBolters will always be good against slightly armoured unitsPlasma will always be good against heavily armoured infantryMelta will always be good against vehiclesGrenade launchers and high volume of fire weapons will always be good against chaffAnd so on, and so on
>>579176135There is nothing iconic about Primaris. Not their infantry, not their vehicles.
>>579204752It's funny you say that because GW is literally doing this right now with 11th since Space Marines are getting abhorrently powerful buffs so new players can just autopilot their Marine armies into winning.
>>579203638This thumbnail is great because it shows that people dont watch videos at all lol
>>579200330I didn't care for it because it often seemed like one half was a cool idea they had and wanted to make and the other half was done just to fill the quota
>>579204993Dont care, I will always be an ORKCHAD.
>>579203638it's just the same problem 3K had
>>579204310he starts near there in old world
the end times will be the last wh3 dlc, right? do u think they have more planned?
>>579205175What the fuck?Do you have the 'randomized start' mod on?Based.>>579205193End Times is the last 'BIG' DLCthey will still do lord/character packs with a couple units for races that need them
>>579190510Here's a hint: It's a T2 unit that flies.
40k looks like shit
>>579198553HH is irrelevant to 40k and will be irrelevant to TW40k. It will take legit ages for remaining Primarchs to show up and if they do, they will be altered.Next loyalist Primarch will be just a new sculpt for Guilliman and not an actual new Primarch. Which will use up 40k loyalist Primarch slot for 2 editions (6 years)
>>579205193They might go back to it if 40k ends up a total disaster. Some devs that that like with Payday and Vermintide
>>579205349noidk where he starts desubut he's there nowlove this huge swamp in the middle of southlands
>>579205093ThisYou could always tell who was the DLC intended for and who got in because it was "thematic" fitting>Grim and GraveVolkmar was the idea, helman (lmao) was the shoe-horn>The king and the warlordSkarsnik was the idea>The Queen and the CroneCrone hellebron>The prophet and the warlockIkit >The Hunter and the BeastNakai by a mile>The Shadow and the BladeActually balanced>The Warden and the PaunchEltharion, they even had to ressurect grom for this>The Twisted and theTwilightSisters of twilight>The silence and the furyTaurox
>>579200483We can see it affects requisition for Marines. Buildings alter it's use. Might be even more important for Guard which is meant to play more traditionally for a Total War, while Marines are more focused on their fleet
Is there a good balance mod for WHIII because I'm tired of everything except like 6 factions being good. I want to play Bretonnia but they suck at everything.
Finding my own music for factions because the in game is midhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2LOaw8fiEo
>>579192131Do it for Vlaaki...I mean Kislev
>>579205619lower the difficulty of the battles until they are good
>>579205695The battles are already really easy though, so long as you pick a faction CA actually gives a shit about.
>>579201734>I don't think Volkmar even knows Ghorst exists.Volkmar actually sent people after Ghorst.
Ungrim just went full retard and declared war on everyone for some reason and now he's getting rapedThanks for bringing every chorfs to my doorstep you retard
>>579201842Enjoy your new music, fellow dawi.
>>579206142Not helping your dawi bro out of his retard rage? Not very nice of you umgi.
>>579206142Ahhh, to die in battle...
>>579206142it's called Slayer honor, cupcake. Problem?
>>579203765Many such cases. I'll never not hate what they did with the Empire and that stupid ass State Troop mechanic. I unironically hope they rework the Empire again because that whole thing sucks ass. Carroburg Greatswords and the Emperor's Wrath tank should be full RoR units, not shit you can recruit every 15 turns. Thinking about it, how much I hate the whole thing is the main reason why I tend to play Gelt when I play the Empire since he doesn't have that dumb shit.Fuck the State Troops
>>579200658Oh is that what they changed it to now? Last I remember it was him disabling the defenses and warnings of prospero before the attack and asking his legion not to fight so as not to cause casualties that would further weaken the imperium.
>>579206142He is a slayer after all
>>579200330I think they may still stick to it, but you will be able to buy factions separatelyI think it will be roughly 3 types>1. Upgrade Pack (naming reminiscent of GW's faction upgrade packs)Sort of an equivalent of a nothingburger Character Pack, useful for subfactions without much content. Like Imperial Fists. I can see it having named HQ, playable faction with unique traits and mechanics, of course themed bits to use for faction creation and a token unique unit maybe>2. Lord PacksSimilar to 3 way packs from TWW3. Usually they would have 1 Xeno, 1 Imperial and 1 Chaos representative and come with an unique Theater to boot.Obvious option, especially given that it just happened in tabletop would be Eldar Corsairs with Prince Yriel, Red Corsairs with Huron and Kaptin Badrukk with Freebooters. That's 2 xenos, but you get the idea. Maybe replace Ork with Space Wolves here>3. Faction PackAs usual. Major Factions with 4 themed subfactions. So CSM would be Black Legion, Word Bearers, Iron Warriors and Night Lords. And then other major factions like Nids, Genestealers, Necrons, Votann, SoB etc
>>579206105Point still stands. Grim and Grave was the dumbest DLC decision they could have possibly made. Worst DLC they've ever done except maybe 8 Princes since that unironically killed 3Kingdoms.
>>579206615it's that but it's shown Leman tried to contact him ot bring him peacefully
>>579206556But Slayers by definition don't have any honor.
>>579206725I still have yet to play Three Kingdoms.
>>579206858Prospero Burns really made me hate the Emperor's chief banana boy.
>>579207090Valdor? Eh the only interesting custodian is the one paired with the Sister of Silence in the recent book
>>579203638But they even explained it already in one vlog, he is overthinking it.Those "Firepower Versus Light, Medium, Heavy" is just so you know at a glance what each unit is roughly good against. Actual stats are tied to weapons carried by individual models within an unit. "Firepower Versus" doesn't do anything, doesn't alter any stats or anything like this. It's just there to help you distinguish one unit of Nobz from another. Otherwise you would need to painstakingly look at every enemy unit and then look at each of their guns separately and then look at how many models are carrying those guns
>>579203337I would like to remind everyone into who is into Clio is also into:https://r34xyz.b-cdn.net/posts/892/892998/892998.jpgthank you.
>>579207170I mean he doesn't have a big part to play anyway, but he is either massively incompetent or actively malicious in his refusal to enact the Emperor's will. In fact, I think he's the first one to tell Russ to disregard Emps actual orders in favour of just annihilating Prospero. Complete fucking psycho.
>>579206714>lord packsDidn't they say that, while still having some LLs, they were moving away from canon character centric stuff?
>>579202893Sorry, no can do. Gotta make the Empire best at everything at all times.
>>579193130>40k looks bad and wont sellis this the new cope from all those nerds that said w40k TW will never happen?
>>579190510GYROCOPTERTHOONDERERSSSSQUARRELERSCANNONNNN>>579205556In WH3 Gelt starts in Cathay now lol>turn 120+ohhhh that's why random shit like that is up lol, is that fucking Teclis?
>>579207362why are you looking up blacked porn of Clio?
>>579201842Grow up lil bro
>big selling point is making Your Dudes>can't even freely name them>probably can't freely name (or at all) units and cities anymorewhy?
>>579207413They will name it differently, but the core will be there which is a themed subfaction with unique playstyle. Krieg may come without a named HQ, so do various Nids, Necrons, Genestealers etc, but when possible characters like a Prince Yriel and his Eldritch Raiders will be in for sure when they make Corsair dlc for Eldar, he is Kemmler tier core character
Can't wait to lead a Falcon stack against the orkmanii. TW40k can't come soon enough.
>>579207791I'm a big Clio fanthat right there is what we in chat call a masterpiece
I will play the Imperial Guard.I will play the Orks.Question now... will I be able to kill 'MUH SPHESS MUHRINES' as the Imperial Guard?
>>579207362>looking at cuck porn to own the tranniesAnon...
>space marines are unbreakable and a single one of them can solo hundreds of enemy unitshow tf are you supposed to even beat that?
>>579208387>plastic>bugthing under it>can't even type "kill" otherwise big brother will shadowban yougrim
>I hate Clio, that tranny!>that's why I will post her video on /twg/>that's why I will also look up blacked cuck porn of her and catbox it in the thread!just downright peculiar...
>>579208298hey I also wanted to ask that exact same questionthe gameplay stream I watched made marines look downright unkillable, literally beating 2000 strong armies with 0 casualties>>579208387
>>579208387You can't. Just submit to the Imperium, worship the Emperor and renounce the dark gods.
>>579208387Neither of those are canon
>>579208387>space marines are unbreakableSquad Broken disagrees.
>>579208387There are female Guardsmen but when it comes to mass dying Gays Workslop only show men.
>>579207610ye teclis ddoing well down there
bros how do I get a cute asian cosplay gf in california?
>>579209234the first step is to talk to women(challenge level: impossible)
So why shouldnt I have 7 units of Irondrakes in every army?
>>579209597They're not that good.
>>579209597Too little you should have 18 units and one bugman
Nippon when?
>>579208298>will I be able to kill 'MUH SPHESS MUHRINES' as the Imperial Guard?Yes, there will probably just be miscellaneous Renegades, same way Traitor Guard is there as well
https://youtu.be/OlzMWKE43A4?t=6138found this on sotek's stream about dogs> There is a mercenary system, which is how you get buffs to mercenary units, which includes roars, campaign mechanic units, allied recruitment units, and ogre units.Awfully awfully mysterious.Awfully mysterious, I say.awfully mysterious.Am I Am I saying we're getting Dogs of War? Not legally, but am I saying I am I am on dangerous levels of copium?Yes. Yes, I am.hmmtext is a mess cause I put it into a transcript site I cba to watch 3 hours straight of sotekthe timestamp is accurate tho
>>579209234Retaturide and gym.
>probably the highest average unit moral of the release factions>uber versatile general squads>super strong elite troops>some fast strike options in thereSpace marines & their chaos counterparts are gonna be their balance issue I can tell. That and Necrons with their stupid good replenishment and healing.
this unit card is awful thowtf are they even doingcompare em to the based existing ones
Best greenskins campaign?
>>579211409I felt the same about most of the Chaos Dwarf cards.
>>579211710Gorbad by a mile. Then Skarsnik.
>>579211710Skarsnik
>>579203337Trans Derangement Syndrome.
Man what happened to this game now if your faction doesn't have literal snipers you're just trash-tier. Who at GW approved this? Why would CA approve it?
>>579212360Use cav retard
>>579203337Oh yeah, I'm female, I'm just really into the same shit that only men exclusively are into.>>579212443The map is a literal hallway cav can't do SHIT.
>>579212525Oh yeah fair the maps are utter dogshitEspecially Cathay I don't get why underway style maps are just in there
>>579212525Stop going in the tunnels like a towel head
>>579211380Not all battles will be Annihilation. Pick nonAnnihilation missions, drown muhreens in Boyz and steal critical locations from them while they are occupied
>search for vtubers playing WH3>
>>579211710If you play with unit caps, Gorbad is the most tacticool greenskin.If you play without unit caps, Skarsnik is the most interesting Greenskin.If you play to roleplay, then Grimgor is the biggest and the strongest.If you just want to dick around and don't really have a gameplan, then Azhag is the most survivable with his flying mount and magic.
Ok picture thisTotal War: YandereBOOM!!!
>>579212696Even still I think its ridiculous how fucked up the balance seems to be now. Like I get WHFB has always been more "pike & shot" than LotR swords and magic but now its like half the roster has extremely effective firearms and half of THAT roster has actual fucking snipers. I don't know how anyone even considers any of the factions on a lower tier of weapon technology than say, the Cathayans, who only have two rifle units; one of which is a sniper, to be even remotely balanced.
I wish that one dude that did sect of akhalee and children of the woods was still updating his mods.
>>579212735faction checks out
Who the hell decided to put a book of Nagash in fucking Lustria?
Lumi plays and she's a woman. And there's that one girl that plays that constantly horny posts about beastmen.
>>579213245Nagash
>>579213314Paid Woman
>>579213245Skaven probably.
>>579212263I think tranny and deranged kinda goes hand in hand, so bit of a tautology.
Can't wait to play Toddy and finally get competent empire frontliners.
>ostankya>mod that puts her back in kislev>mod that gives her crows and more spiders>mod that gives her malevolent tree spiritsfixed
85% done in unifying the empire, phewthen I have to trek for about 30 turns of travel to reach south southlands to destroy the pyramid due to TK end times lol
Is it worth taking Chaos Warriors anymore and should I use Marauders instead? Thinking of buying a box at the store today.
>>579213410This unironically, she had to have her chat explain each and every little thing to her.Clio's voice is very obviously a man's.
>>579213926Would go a lot faster if that income has used for more armies
>>579213926like wow, it might be more than 20-30 turns marching >>579214182yeah just lazy to train em up, should
why do they always give you a casting hero of the same lore your casting lord has?
>>579214071Disagree about Clio. But I heard some old clips that were pretty bad. Her laughs though... Horror
>>579214442Oh like hero (t1) - lord (t2) - legendary lord (t3)
>>579150808Which factions are worth playing prior to the update? I figure there’s a lot of reworks coming so I’ll wait to play them until they happen. But I don’t know fully who is all getting touch ups; the main 4 (plus Counts) obviously but do we know if there are changes coming to WoC, Coast, and Tomb Kings as well?>>579150989It’s total war and it’s 40k. Everyone is an antagonist. Who would you call “the antagonist” of shogun 2, medieval 2, or Rome total war?
>>579202152I mean this is a Total War engine rigged up for a modern skirmish tactics game, what did you expect. Fog of war didn't really work like that in DoWI either.
>>579214920No like, you usually get a free hero at campaign start in a lot of campaigns right? Why do they give you the exact same lore as your caster LL a lot of the time. Removes variety from the early game. Feels redundant and bad.
>>579214417Take to the high seas, no diplo and slightly faster
Which faction has the best social media presence for crazy diplomacy plays in 40k?
>>579215293Sisters of Battle easily, they have a whole subfaction dedicated to it.
>>579215439>womenOh right
LL for this feel?
>>579173853He’s not THAT overpowered. His faction mechanics are pretty good, but he doesn’t buff most of the good units in their Helf roster. Ship’s company suck, Oceanids are mostly situational, the Lothern skycutter with bolt throwers is good but the regular one is trash, sea elemental and myrwyrms are the only really top tier units.
>>579214703It's called a cackle and it's peak
>>579208387>guardswoman>grimdark
damn this mod has some sexy movement radius
>>579174620How does their chest cannon work?
Aekold Helbrass should have been a real fucking LL, not a fucking Hero
>>579196763>historical Total War dies because nobody wants to play different flavors of the same army>fantasy Total War is popular because everyone just plays Empire, not even the other human factions.
>>579215660You can butcher entire worlds in brutal torture but don't you dare represent a heckin sexism or racism even as a bad thing
>>579214071Lumi knows they want to explain things and goes with it
I doubt chaos chosen could stand up to a macedonian phalanx
>>579215718is this on the latest m2ex? how does it run?
>>579215660>nooooo the imperium are the bad guys!!!! you're not media literate!!!!>but, uh, akshually, they're the safe bad guys who never do anything bigoted or sexist :)))))Every time I see someone like this I secretly wish for a global war in which they are drafted.
>>579216095idk perfect so far, trying to spot any bugs but none so fari wonder, is the way to win with gondor in this mod the same as in dawnless days, just turtle and survive from endless mordot stacks while you build up your heartlands? then after 100-150 turns go on the offense?
>>579187401Shogun 2 was alright about it. I don't know why they can't just turn the armor and shield numbers up.
>>579216037Her 40k loredive streams were a genius stroke of chat interaction and dono baiting
I can't wait for 40k to come out. I'm actually excited for it. But I also know I will play it for like a week before I've run out of content. I can't imagine the life and suffering of someone who has followed and played TWW since 2016
>>579216218here's one bug thoblack mordor generalsalso that's nearly 2 full stackssigh
>>579216378It's pretty common tactic now, at least among vtubers. Not that I mind, I'm even more of a secondary than they are
>>579215660there are literally trillions upon trillions of humansa couple thousand, or hell, hundreds of thousands of women being in a guardsman army or in a PDF isn't gonna do anything to damper the amount of humans being bornfucking 'OHhhh humanity is SO close to dying out bro!'like no the fuck you AREN'T, you have millions of worlds with fucking infinite population essentially
>>579215932>>579216154>In a gooner discord>Someone posts a pic of an onlyfans girl and calls her a whore>Mod has a melty about the inappropriate of misogyny This is a weird fucking world.
I've been gone for a while, do we still have fights about how Medieval II is the best and every TW game since then has been shit?
>>579216565not rly, its mostly fantasy posting with the few people that play n post about historic campaigns co-existing in peace
Anyone have a tip for Gorbad's campaign? I've restarted five times now and I just keep getting fucked by Thorgrim or Skrag or Queek or Karak Azul or some combination of the former before turn 20 every fucking time.
>>579216378>>579216037Didn't Lumi also tell majorkill to fuck off lmao? based
>>579216557dystopian uninhabitable planets MY ASS
>>579216498At least with 40k secondaries seem to get the best experience since we regularly get games and media that are higher quality than the actual tabletop that GW puts out.That being said, I still wish it didn't mean that DoWII got hated on because it was "too small."
>>579216561I can understand thinking doing what's expected is a working strat in the 2000s or something but it's 2020s, simps are just beating their head against a wallPedestalization is the real issue I think
>>579216680Imagine getting to be one of the humans on a Pleasureworld living your entire lifetime before Tyranids or something come to eat you.Sucks to be everyone else.
>>579216680Noooooo you don't get it! they heckin' lose MILLIONS of people daily!>ignores the fact that probably BILLIONS are born dailythey have dozens of hive worlds with BILLIONS of population lmao
>>579208387There are 5000 orks in the galaxy for every space marine
>>579216690I don't get why they get less games than 40k. Seems like a fine fantasy setting to me, already fleshed out and recognizable brand, and feels less convoluted than 40k too
>>579216498Oh for sure react streamers caught on quick that 40k is a goldmine, but I meant her huge lorethrough where she got out multiple pages of docs to make notes and charts and stuff.
>>579217004Fantasy is going to be nerd shit for like 95% of the population and always will be. The games industry lives and dies on the backs of spics that buy FIFA/Madden every single year.
>>579216964pretty sure there's way, WAY more than that lmaoOrks are the most populated faction in the galaxy, and the only reason they haven't won is because they are always killing each other too
>>579217073Lumi did some autism infograph for china lore as well IIRC. Seems like something she does
>>579216561>This is a weird fucking world.What's weird is that they look at the ethnically egalitarian Imperium and call it bad, but they look at the Tau and call them good despite the Tau being a literal ultra-racist caste based society that outright bans fraternization between its constituent races.
>>579216037Tits too small
>>579217276Everyone is a conservative for the things they actually like.
>>579216669>losing as any greenskin faction when they have the waaagh
>>579217120But fantasy or sci-fi is like the default setting of most games, or well, a lot
>>579213959for tow? it depends on how many points they are, if theyre 6 pts with no armor of any kind, trash garbo compared to an empire swordsmen which costs the same and gets light armor and shield, if theyre 4pts naked, its good shit
>>579217504The gaming audience is like 70% spicnigs/wiggers that only play FIFA or Madden, MAYBE a little Call of Duty on the side or a simcade racing game that can be easily played on a controller. The other 20% is us and 10% are the turboautists.
lore of hags is probably the neatest lore in the gamewish someone would mod it onto a gobbo shaman, feels fitting if lore breakingalso wish someone would mod ostankya's cauldron artillery onto the back of a shaman's arachnarok mount
This general is fucking doomedTW:40k isn't out yet, and it's already basically impossible to talk about Total War here at all, including TW:40k because this is now a 40k thread, which means that every retarded culture war topic that has attached itself to that franchise will be imported to this general and will take up 95% of the space.Warhammer Fantasy had the benefit of being an effectively dead franchise that no one on Twitter gives a fuck about, so it was mostly immune to this garbage.
>>579216557>killing your wombs is not going to damper the amount of humans being born
>>579217957>which means that every retarded culture war topic that has attached itself to that franchise will be imported to this generalBlame Games Workshop. They just had to open their mouths during the Summer of Floyd.
>>579217957chill man this really isn't any different to the usual threads
>>579217942>wish someone would mod it onto a gobbo shaman, feels fitting if lore breakingFeels like the sorta thing that'd be trivially easy to do yourself, I bet you could figure it out if you spent one afternoon reading guides and asking questions on the lore subreddit>also wish someone would mod ostankya's cauldron artillery onto the back of a shaman's arachnarok mountThe Ostankya chicken hut mod is sorta like this, only way more loreful
>>579217957It's been pretty good so far, including factoring in the last 8 years. Even Fantasy and sci-fi fags have been playing the older games.
>>579218246Yeah but I want my gobbo shamans to be really witch doctor-y, cauldron that spits out magic artillery off the back of a giant spider? Cool.Also that hut mod is way too strong. She can solo any army easily, bar mass flyers.
>>579217442I lose before I can even build up my first Waaagh
WHAT THE FUCKKK, playing AGOI charged spearmen from the back while they were engaged and my cav disintegratedis this normal...evne if its 14 unit cav, did they nerf cav in AGO?
>>579217957versus what discussing vtuber drama
Has CA every added new animations to an existing unit before? I know they've removed some like the jump animation for the Empire, but I can't remember if they've added new ones before. Or changed existing animations for a unit to something else.
>>579213959these look awful. I prefer the fireforge northern rabble instead.
>>579218028killing a couple, if not hundreds of thousands of women when literally BILLIONS of humans are being born daily in the imperium is nothingif a couple hundred thousand female guardsman can help hold a planet just long enough to be saved by MUH SPEES MUHRINES than its worth it
>>579219876I think some of the devs sneak in kill or fight animations for units against specific other units, usually single entity tho.

Hope Nagash can get casket of souls.
>>579220480>hold a planet just long enough to be saved by MUH SPEES MUHRINESThey wish. The vast majority of Guard detachments aren't getting support from the Angels of Death.
>>579220480Those couple hundred thousand women could have given birth to several kids each resulting in millions more guardsmen, which ultimately would do more good in the long run than anything they could have done as soldiers. There is no point sending regular ass women to war in a setting as deadly as 40k, sorry.
>>579220971>secondary in my /twg/
I'll be waiting on Necrons 'Nids and Sisters. Will probably play everyone except Eldar until then.On the off chance they add DEldar in 10 years too I'll be happy to run Haemonculi shit.

>>579221387guess what... they go home if they don't die, and give birth, and their help might contribute to keeping the planet from fallingif the planet falls, all the women die anyways
>>579221387>There is no point sending regular ass women to war in a setting as deadly as 40k, sorry.There is a point in training them, same as Japanese nobility trained their women to fight, but not to export them out as tithe.>>579221695>they go home if they don't dieHahahahaha. Hahahaha. If you get tithed there is no going home dude. You go where you're sent and you either die there or move on to the next military campaign
>>579221558some people don't want to admit they're just bad
>>579221558Empire is the hardest faction to play in TWW3.
>CA stated in December that Bretonnia is done except for an update and maybe Free stuff.Just read this on the CA forums. Is this true?
Do you know how I know that the Empire will still get 1 more DLC?Wizard Lords
>>579222957Yes. They've been saying that since Repanse was first released and hopetards started to dream up Bretonnian DLCs.
>>579223232Bro that was obvious since the moment the announced DLC lord was Toddy not Valten and Huss.
>>579223232>Marius Leitdorf>Wizard Lords>Knights Encarmine>Lumpin Croop's Fighting Cocks>Reiksguard on footFund it.

>>579223536Well he does have to endure the shittiest location in all of WH3.
>>579223561Never.
>>579223705didnt they cheat?
I fucking hate it when you have to autoresolve a for a win instead of fighitng it out because you know it's impossible to win fighting it.
>>579224317I don't know that feel.
how do artillery units in 40k like basilisks work? on maps units? upgrade you buy for limited use off-map bombardments?
>>579224317No shame in that you are playing like /ourformer/guy legend would do it.
>>579220642What the fuck is that art, I have never seen it
>>579224412yeah, they are like cannons
>>579224206Iunno, I literally just got it off google right now.
Legend has never been my guy
>>579224358Empire player?
I ficking love playing the Empire I pre-ordered the Toddy dlc because I don't want to risk them going out of digital copies
if you had legend's back he would be here teaching you how to exploit and win in 40k, but you didn't......
Again, are there any good mods for balancing the factions out in Warhammer III? I wanna give Bretonnia a shot.
>>579225035No, I'm apparently just not dogshit like you.
>>579225173SFO
>>579225183Ah, dwarf player.
Massive respect to Armoured Kossars for being a great frontline in the early-mid game.Tzarina Katarin is pleased with each and every one of you.
>>579223373They're never doing Valten.Did people not notice in the last few preview videos they put out they said "This is not THE end times, but rather set up to be fun stories one can tell in the warhammer world!"If I had to guess, GW is pushing them to step away from pushing End Times even though at launch they explicitly had to push it.
I just remembered how disappointing the 100th LL was and how it was revealed.
>>579225505Shame they're dogshit compared to basic kossars.
>>579222957No.
>>579226359Not true! Basic Kossars might be able to arc fire and have more ammunition but they won't survive 1 minute in melee against Orc Boys.
>>579223232Wizard Lord will be part of DoW DLC(too much work to add 8 uniques skin + 8 uniques voice in a Lord pack).
>>579226564They don't need to since the boys will be dead from getting shot to death long before then. And kossars all do it while costing basically nothing. By the time you can actually afford more than kossars, armoured variants won't be your go to for a frontline (assuming you even play with one to begin with).
a guy on my steam friends list pre-ordered all the end times dlc. Is there a point to doing this and not waiting until release when they're all bundled together?
Is it better to have more armor, health or melee def?
>>579224751?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=033FWxL22A0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrX1aGHK1lM
Halflings dlc.
fucking dead sandniggers
>>579227105Confirmed by Rich Aldridge.
>>579227074I have like 3k hours in all games and obviously play L/VH but I have no idea I get what they all do conceptually but I couldn't say which stat boost would let my frontline actually survive X seconds longer vs a different stat in any meaningful way
>>579227105>>579227403>vigour and healing aura cook cart for empire>hot pot artillerymmmm
>>579226861They are already bundled though.
>ostankya>oh no, really hard fight>10 agony's succession's>fragmentii on their lord and artillery>entropous on their castersanyway
>>579227074For what? Lords and Heroes? Melee infantry? Melee Cav?
>>579227498>>579227074I think Melee defense is best, with armor and then health after.Nothing lets your guys survive in melee longer than not being hit by your enemy, armor helps defend against non-armor piercing damage, and high health means your boys getting hit last longer.
>>579227074Armor is better in the early game.In the late game where everyone is spamming AP units armor loses value.Health is always okay, but never good unless you also have loads of Ward save (or other resistances).Melee Defense is percentage based compared to the enemy's Melee Attack.In theory if you get to 127 or higher you're more or less immune to most Melee Attacks.147 or higher to be immune to most elite infantry.162 or higher to ignore melee heroes/lords.As a result every point of melee defense is a 1% difference in your resistance, but it's a complete miss when Melee Defense works.
>>579227794If you have regen or healing Heath should be bumped in prio
>>579227794Empire spearmen can get like 60 md but they still eat shit because they have 30 armor
>>579227926yeah, running into that fucking 15k hp Ku'gath with no good ranged or anti-large units to kill him with...
>>579227306>Volkmar has a book of Nagash mechanic>it's totally ignored in his campain objectives
>>579222957>LHsOdo d'OutremerSuliman le Saracen>RoRLost Sons of Bretonnia (Super Grail Knights)L'Ordonnance ( Single entity cannon, one per bretonnian duchy owned )>Regular UnitsFoot Knights (30 models)Grail Knights on Foot (20 models)Catapult (single entity)An interesting idea for a new Legendary Lord is a horde type: one who would travel the world completing quests and raising temporary armies of crusaders, similar to a Waaagh or the Blood Host.
>>579228014More likely you're sending them against shit that still easily hits them because 60 MD isn't that much compared to most offensively statted melee units.
>>579227074assuming you mean for a lordarmor is good if you're planning on getting stuck in against non-AP infantry because sheer law of large numbers means you're going to be taking a good amount of hits on the flankmelee defense is better for dueling other entitieshp is good at magnifying the effects of either but rarely in large enough amounts to truly be worth it on its ownarmor can reduce non-ap attacks down to 0 damage but there's always a minimum chance to hit no matter the difference in MA vs MD
>>579228246Victory conditions and rewards are being reworked alongside Lords of the End Times.
>>579227306>flatulents with billions more kills than the greatswordsbased

There will be a day one skeletor voice mod for Nagash, won't there?

>>579229637Tell me more... I'm new
>>579229729CHEATSVictory Conditions overhaul, gives different victories and rewards for every faction, usually more major stuff that's both more loreful and more relevant to their actual position on the map
>>579229998meh
Yeah, I don't wish to defile the great experience that CA has carefully curated for us.The white dot shall never desecrate my screen.
>>579225524>They're never doing Valten.Valten has noting to do with the End Times he's a 6th edition character from Storm of Chaos. The ET writers quite literally didn't know what to do with him and just removed him like Thorgrim by a rat assassin.

turns out m2ex isn't quite ready for AGO 'yet, lots of crashes n weird bugs still, i guess this is prob the most complex med 2 mod out there so it'll take a few more patches

>>579231932I thought it was 10% or something? 35% is the base chance to hit when the attacker's MA is equal to the defender's MD.
havent played w3 in like 2 years, I'll reinstall when they release end times because it's the last update so the game is finally complete, it's time to replay it
>>579231935>people in 2016 thought this was okayTruly a different era
>>579231935Gorgeous, there's beauty in simplicity, release might be one of the only tries to get to try out 40k in its raw unadultered form that we'll miss in a couple of years
>>579232129
>>579232129It’s not the last update just the last big one. They'll release a handful of units in smaller dlcs for a bit.
>>579231935>Empire fighting itself for 100 turnsKINO
>>579232092thats probably right
>>579231932no, 35% is the base chance to hit assuming equal ma and md, 8% is the minimum and 90% is the max
>>579231935SOVLwh3 bloat kiddies will never know
>>579232251well, I consider those basically hotfixes, the big mechanics won't change again, that's what matters
I don't even try to have fun anymore. I get 3 factions all declaring war on me at turn 3 with 20 unit doomstacks when all I have are Orc Laborourers, I'm busting out the console commands. Fuck this game man.
>>579232193Lock them up
>>579231935>>579232275>bretonnia had empire units>norsca had 2 units>empire campaign was 100 turns of fighting against other empire factions, with occasional greenskins and vampires thrown admist
>>579232236WH1 literally made me drop the series until 2 got me to give it another go
reminder: you're a filthy tourist if you never did this
>>579232335Slower and more focused campaigns are a litmus test, people that love the game will love it, kiddos that like playing with many toys but not comitting to any will hate it, despite the massive bloat all WH3 campaigns roughly play out the same way with the same many flavors of chaos slop coming from the north bothering you and being a problem since turn 10 while playing Empire, really tiresome and lame, WH1 Empire campaigns were way more fun >>579232409case in point
>>579232387Bretonnia had placeholders. Few peasants, knights of the realm and npc Louen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMNbrTAocsoLegend here cheesed ninjahud, a MPfag we hated in /twg/ with bretonnia
First answer to this post decide wich campaing I play
>>579232348Never use tier 0 shit, the first building you make for chorfs should be hobgoblin campSame goes for units like skavenslaves or TK basic skeletons (zombies are based though)
>>579232531Did what, settle all the settable provinces? Everyone did it.
>>579232348yeah i honestly don't even mind cheating in a shitload of starting gold desu, being strapped for every penny stops being entertaining quick
>>579232571Not at release, that video have beastmen, which means that this was quite a few months after release already
>>579232578Belegar>>579232553Btw this is also why people only play for like 20 turns a campaign now, because they do the equivalent of that dangling keys or instagram reels in front of toddlers thing, no love for the game just numbing brain with all the pretty faction choices, WH1 was the best WH game, especially on release
>>579232553>but not comitting to anyWhat does this even mean?
>>579232747>BelegarNever played him, hope I'll have fun
>>579232747Nah TW2 mogged TW1 in every way. Vortex was a real adventure compared to the boring Old World.
>>579232756It means the average 3 player is brainrotted and keeps swapping from faction to faction every few hours/turns without playing a real campaign since 2020, less is more sometimes, most people found their race fast in WH1
>>579232571unrelated, but wow this is a trip to the past>ninjahund>heir of carthage>legend before he went full volound
>>579232858Hardest Dwarf campaign
>>579232908awwww shiet man why?
>>579232892WH2 was good in many ways but old world remains the coolest spot on the map, nobody really gives a shit about Lustria & Lizardmen are like the most forgotten race out there lmao

>>579233112no I mean why you forced me to play this? that's not nice
>>579232858>hope I'll have funclueless.jpg
>>579232553Honestly I loved alot of the maps that focused on each game's campaign. WH1's was okay. WH2's had that really shitty main campaign mechanic that you could ignore to an extent, but all the DLC armies ignored it and consequently were the most fun.WH3 just punished you for wanting to play the game no matter what way you did it. It even super punished you for conquering. This sucked ass especially for the Kislev and Cathay factions whose mechanics relied heavily on have larger maps in their specific areas, and IE sucks ass for playing as Kislev.
>>579232571>shitty graphics due to lack of a good pc>shitty mic>a hint of genuine interest for the game>humble yet cockyWhat have we done to legend?This is like watching a VHS tape of a school shooter when he was a happy naive kid
>>579233357That was me, it's a peak classic campaign all this talk of WH1 reminded me
>>579233395We've done nothing, it was his psychotic obsession with Mung that destroyed him.
>>579233380IE sucks all for playing Kislev cause the wastes are crowded as fuck with infinite Chaos slop and it'll only get worse with end timesI'm so fucking sick of having to deal with Danieltroon swooping down with his annoying stack 10 turns in every single time I play any old world order faction, there's 0 pacing
Not in the Dongliz! He need it to RAA-ROO.
>>579233605Would have been a issue if CA didn't nerf Malus.
>>579233736They need to make the chaos nigs much more hostile to each other so they fight themselves there for a while before starting to shit up and picking off struggling order factions at random, relatively ez fix
>>579233605Holding back the Chaostide as Kislev is KINO though
>>579233395>What have we done to legend?we didn't have his back
Will Legend return when they finally release Mung?
I hope psyker abilities are as varied as lores of magic are. In the ttrpgs especially they expanded on all the possible disciplines quite a bit. The demo librarian only had 1 ability.
legend will be back for 40k because he needs the money, he might even be back for the end times even
>>579234401he will be returningto clown on 40k with volound
What happened? Did legend go into a webway portal?
40k is still 10-11 months awayzz
This Motherland mod for Kislev is pretty solid without making them unrecognisable or a mess like those 200 unit chinese Cathay mods
>>579234484They are and aren't at the same time. You have cool disciplines like Interromancy but then again no spell in TTW3 even attempts to recreate the actual effects of Fantasy spells. Like Beastmen in Fantasy have the spell Traitor-kin that forces enemy mounts to throw off their raiders and atrack them. The ultimate anti-cav spell. What do we get in the game? A DOT with a slow component that affects infantry.
>>579234565had a meltdown over some literal high school level drama and quit
