>>579961598As far as fanart goes, this is pretty dogshit.
im getting an unusual location every turn lately
>>579965216it's not fan-art, a GW guy basically acknowledged it as canon

Spanning feudal Japan, the Roman era, Medieval Europe and 18th century France, the Total War series brings the past to life with a unique mix of turn-based strategy and real-time land and naval battles.

>>579967709Why would I even use it when it doesnt change anything for the better
>>579967907it gives you more fps bro.... more fps = bigger dick..
>>579967709wh3 is blurry enoughwonder if u can toggle AA off and just use this though? might get the same blurriness of TAA just with +30 FPSsomeone should test cause im lazy
>>579966194He also made this when he wasn't associated with GW, and he was let go because he wanted to retcon the Fimir to stop being rapists
>>579967709Time to zoom in on morathis, alarielles, enchantress, and ariels feet
>>579968839GW already don't touch fimir with a 10 foot pole tho, they're the ones retconning rape etc from beastmen too
wish I could rape and pillage irl :(
>>579968968>they're the ones retconning rape etc from beastmen tooThey haven't done that yet also, Fimir are mentioned in the 5e core rulebook released at the start of the week
Did CA say anything about Arkhan?Is he getting any new vampire units or is the dread abyssal mount the only new toy he gets?
>>579960981>satisfy the grudge ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Dwarf with the mark of slannesh
>>579969041>>579968968Fimir are kinda pointless in the current setting.Chaos has already more than enough minions with the warriors, demons, beastmen, chorfs and the sorta chaos aligned skaven. The Fimir also living mostly in the same general area as the northmen doesn't help either.
>>579969705they're still the only chaosites with some aura, norsca beastmen etc are goofy as hellfimir are genuinely scary
>>579969892>fimir are genuinely scaryif your a women
>>579969197he's getting spirit host, cairn wraiths crypt ghouls and morghast
>>579969946Awesome!Thank you anon.
>>579969943rape is horrifying no matter the genderbesides they can rape ur female loved ones too
>>579969946>>579970080fuck meant crypt horrors
>>579970095Only men can be raped. Vagina is designed to accomodate cock so women can't be raped.
so are all mortarchs getting the new dread abyssals for their mount option even if they aren't recruited for niggash?
>>579969946That's fucking unfair. Why even play Settra or any other Tomb Kanzg now that Arkhan have clearly the superior roster? Ditto for Neferata among the VCs with all her Tomb Kings units. Specials units reserved for a specific lord are a mistake and anti-balancd
>>579970191>sigvald gets a rape mechanic for male LLs onlyDeapoilers cum!
>>579969892>aura>genuinely scaryDue to the lack of exposure stemming from GW genuinely forgetting about them. Beastmen also rape and raid but since they're the dedicated losers nobody finds them scary.
>>579968839>he wanted to retcon the Fimir to stop being rapistsThat's heresy.
>>579969197Yes he is getting new units (some from the DLC + some from VCounts).+ He will benefit from the Book of Nagash rework, I think.
>>579970465No CA confirmed that they only get them when they're in the UL
>>579970528i meanthey're also cowsfimir are like underground eldritch reptiles, infinitely more scary
>>579970474You play Settra or Khalida for the same reason you play any LL, because you like those characters.>anti-balancdPower gamers or MP fags please leave.
>>579970749yeah that makes more sense
nothing is scarier than a warhammer fan I agree
>>579970095foid out of my /twg/ now! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
>>579970465>all mortarchsAs fart as we know only Arkhan el nigro, Nefertities and manlet.(and only when/if part of Nagash faction)
>>579970703Dark Omen bros our udead faction is finally there.>>579970828Bro cows kill more people each year than any large predator.>>579970857>>579970749But I don't want to play as Nagash to get Neffy or Arkhan on an abyssal. Mods will fix that for suer.
>>579971594nice
>>579970636When ToT introduced the Fimir Noble hero (with the little blurb of lore about the "hatchling" thing) him and Soïtek rejoiced live beacause "now that it is confirmed they are born form eggs it totally remove all rape from the Fimir! #ownthechuds #i'mwither #she/her !!!".
>>579971594giw i was an obese vomitoid gremlin riding a monster
>>579971776what fags lmao
>>579971594Make the lil nurgling vomit also
>>579970474Settra has that TK whiplash from game 2 and a pessoa poor rework for IE. Neferata in lore should not have access to ghouls and maybe zombies, anything that is ugly
Whats the point of playing Arkhan after niggash releases? If they want to keep it loreful he will start as a military ally to him and collect books all campaign? At least cunts and coast still has their unique goals wtf is Arkhan gonna do?Seriously tho releasing Nagash&Neferata and not reworking TKs is baffling. Putting them 2 settlements away from each other is even more so.
>>579961598Where is Sylvania?
>>579972604Arkhan is Nagash's day one, it doesn't matter. Really though, probably the same way Malekith and Malus interact in the current game
Arkhan is incredibly strong.Yet he serves a WEAKling like Nagash.Why?
>>579972808Malus can confed Mally. And Malus' campaign mechanics are designed to make sense for their relationship. Arkhan is getting nothing. At best what will happen is you collect the book for Nagash and get rewarded with stat increase and army caps? But still cucked out of Black Pyramid and any pyramids Nagash captures.
>>579971776"Hatch" like a chestburster
>>579972608Stirland since Sylvania is part of the elector Province of Stirland is ruled by the current Count of Stirland
>>579961598Why is Empire so much swarthier than the real Europe? Was it founded by Southlander kings?
>>579973545You pic: 2006That pic: 2016
And fallow up picture
>>579973128Norscans lords exists to be vassals of Archaob but when you play as them you get the chance to rebel and challenge him. Maybe Arkham will receive the same option, albeit it would not be very lore faithfull. That nigga is super loyal to Bone Daddy
>>579973545The guy who did the picture just has no fucking clue really. You would have to as far as south as Araby to get those swarthiest color tones. And Kyislev is right beside Ostland and they aren't that brown
>>579972293This is a good idea
>>579974027Now make the puke rainbow color
>>579972604Oh my god one of the 1000 legendary lords in the game feels less important oh my god somebody call the nation
>>579973545empire is more diverse than our real europe chud
>>579961598>>579973545Its nu-GW trying to frame the Empire as a XXI Century USA melting pot instead of a fantasy HRE. 10 more years and Sollanders will be africans, Ostlanders east asians and so on
I like the HRE. Dumb dumbs are filtered by its complex government and socio-religious tradition.
>>579974132I payed for Arkham. He should be as powerfull as any lord. Or else i should get at least a partial refund
>>579973545Hmm what could be the reasoning
>>579974641Voltaire on suicide watch
>>579972604Isn't Nagash just a crisis faction if you aren't playing him?
>>579971776The egg thing is such a cope, any true connoisseur knows egg-laying is simply another stage of the whole Fimir baby-making process.
>>579975043Voltaire himself knew that famous quote was dumb. The quote comes from writings he never published publicly.
>>579974204The world of mallus enourmous brettonia I believe is bigger than Europe
>>579975431The Empire is about the size of Germany
>>579975626wat, I've heard it said that its much bigger than our world, so it'd be teh size of all of europe p much
>>579975626The modern state of Germany or the historical HRE?
>>579976135Don't think too hard about it.
Does nagash control vlad well enough to fuck isabella in front of him?
>>579971776>now that it is confirmed they are born form eggs it totally remove all rape from the Fimir!Maybe the eggs are laid by human women after they've been raped?
>>579976219nta but probably historical HRE.Still not THAT much bigger than modern France and Germany.So that would make Bretonnia about the same size as Frogland
Whats the problem with Fimir being rapists anyway?They are creatures of Chaos fucking evil.
>>579976135The writers themselves don't know, and it's inconsistent between editions and games pic is meant to a random duchy in Reikland that is so small it doesn't show up in TWW
but i like rape :(
>>579974430Wonder if Cathay will be as diverse?
>>579973545>averaging 10-24 male athletesbruh
>>579977578shut your mouth gweilocathay has enough diversity with the tigermen
What do imperium humans look like?
>>579971106>As fart as we know
>>579978417Like they fuck xeno women.
>>579978523*fucked by
>>579976819It's simply that modern Western society considers depictions of rape to be more of a taboo than depictions of graphic violence. Introducing rape to the setting can only harm the IP and therefore is not something which shareholders would tolerate. As violent as their settings are, Games Workshop operates within the Overton window and has nothing to gain and much to lose by pushing the envelope on a topic as sensitive as rape.
>>579967709For real though, TCA has always cheaped out when it comes to optimisation. Why don't they add the option for framegenslop?
>>579975068Dunno but at least the player should be able to decide if he wants AI Nagash to appear in his campaign or not. Him being always there would mean all the factions in his immediate surrounding (Volkmar, Repanse, all the KANGZ) wouldnt matter anymore as they would all die within like ten turns
>>579971216Lorewise the Dread Abyssals were gifted to his Mortarchs by Naggash after they became his Mortarchs, so them being able to get them by themselves without Naggash doesn’t make a whole lot of sense unless they were gained by defeating Naggash and claiming his power for their own.
>>579972604I’m pretty sure Naggash is only meant to show up in your campaign if you aren’t playing as him as the selectable endgame scenario so you don’t have to fight him at all if you don’t want to. Also I’m not clear on this but are there ways to “trigger” the endgame crisis as Arkhan for example by collecting the books of Naggash? That might be a more interesting way to implement him for Arkhan, and then that triggers the endgame which you’re on the side of and the entire world declares war on you like realm divide in Shogun 2.
>>579978186expect SEA people soon chinkmannii!
Imagine starting in a minor settlement without any resources. How pathetic would that be? Queer Headgiver doesn't need to imagine.
>>579978417Unironically female and queer.(pic unrelated)
>>579980892Tretch mogs Qu**k in every possible way. Better stormvermin. Very good selection cutscene on the faction select menu.Better enemies to fight allsides
Wish he had an actual flail though instead of that Charlemaned weapon
>74 settlements:)))yeahh I won't be going for ultimate victory in this campaignnot with old world turn times gonna play some IE just because of turn times I got sick of em for a while, but damn what a great mod for playing the old world races
>>579981121>Tretch mogs Qu**k in every possible way.Yeah, except in the actually being a cool character way.

My entire army was still alive, they didn't capture the victory point even once, their army was dumpstered I had no time limit why the **** would I get a draw. >edit: yooo this is getting me heated af fr though, it's not like this was a quick match I was in this battle fighting 4 armies for like 40 minutes. I'm actually upset. Why did this happen. I don't like wasting my time. >edit 2: nah the more time passes the angrier i'm getting. I already beat unbeatable odds, why do I have to do this AGAIN. What is this sore loser ass bulls*** from the game. this is draining any passion I have of actually playing. God I hate the sieges in this game. I wish I could turn this worthless mode off and just play only landbattles. CA you guys RUINED sieges in WH3. Do you know what ruined is? ruined is when I don't even want to play the game I spent hundreds of dollars on because of your poor quality control and game design. I'm pissed af right now. Is this what they call 'crashing out'?

I dreamed that Skrolk got a campaign rework. If this is proven correct, you must all acknowledge me as a prophet. If I'm wrong, then forget I said anything.

>>579987896Is there a Dark Elf gf version?
Kinda wish I wasn't shit at micro because all their LLs are fun and based.
>>579987276yeah you "globally" recruit off black arks when they're in range of your army. its offset by almost everything being a 1 turn recruit off them
>>579970474I'm a bit of a lorelet, but I'm pretty sure TK undead having access to counts undead being unfair is exactly the point.
>>579991009take the pausepill
how did CA manage to fuck up Kislev so bad?
any mod like this that changes their bodies as well and keeps their hair white?

man the more I play other factions the more I find myself coming back to the big 3>empire>dwarfs>cathaythese are just so much more fun than all the other factions, fuckkislev might be fun, they have combined arms and gunpowder too, but the start position is really boring, nothing to do but fight chaostide
>>579992078dude ice bears lmao
I don't know what will come first, TES 6 or Med 3.
>>579993668it's really fucking irritating how handholdy chaosniggers are when playing Kislev
>try the customise starting units m(cheat)odI cant go back
still can't believe a modder managed to fix this shit as his first WH3 mod as well
Playing Shogun 2 ruined Total War for me.In Shogun 2, spear ashigarus are the meta choice.In Warhammer, Three Kingdoms and so on, you're never meant to bother with T1 units, and T2 and T3 are meant to only exist to fill holes before you can replace them with T4 and T5. I keep trying to have "balanced" armies with spearmen and swordsmen, and they die in seconds to anything big.Unrelated note: what do I do with Khemri? I understand that their chariots are meant to be some ultra heavy shock cavalry, but they also have a lot of monsters and a surprising amount of range, so... hold the line with ushabtis and pound them from behind with chariots?
>>579995749>what are you meant to do with tomb kangzUshabti Great Bows
>>579995836Yeah, my question about that... Isn't it a waste to have monsters and put them on range duty?Also, I don't see Ushabtis with Great Weapons.
>>579995947great BOWSthey will pincushion almost anything with high power armor piercing shots
>>579996062Ooooh... Yeah, I gotta try them then.
>>579994480Kislev feels too small
>>579996832It's just that every single chaosnigger allies or is in a NAP with each other while all the other Kislev factions get killed off before you even have a full stack half the time.Need more chaosnigger infighting.
>>579996960>Need more chaosnigger infighting.yeah that's what im sayingESPECIALLY post endtimes now that they're getting even strongerthey don't fight enough its world peace up in chaos wastes, daniel comes to rape ulthuan turn 5 every run for meand ofc kislev is fucked kinda sad
>>579984740idk man i hate their economy so i only ever played as khorne for a few turns
>>579997785i played a few battles and gave up it's goddamn boring, its ctrl + g and right click and wait, and with wh3 lacking sync kills for infantry its not exactly fun watching my dudes fightdark elves seem way more fun, I'll try and finish out a long campaign on morathi just kinda sick of playin in empire and cathay all the time, I just like ranged factions more than melee in TW lol
>>579992078Doubling down on the Russian theme.
>>579997915well there's a lot of ranged factions besides empire and cathay man
>>579998196+dwarfs are my fav, there's none as satisfying to play thoughbaiting into gunlines and arty feels amazing maybe i should try vampirates but they are kinda a forgotten faction, shame, since there's probably goyim still buying their DLC in 2026 or just wait for nagash and get all their best shit on his run
>>579998368I fucking love dwarfs, but I can't play as them. Ironically, I never use cavalry in games, but the dwarfs, I just can't play them.
>>579991009Masque faction logo would has been very fun if they had swapped the two faces.
Bloodletter swords are so cool. If I ever killed one I'd loot its sword and use it. Of course, I'm sure nothing negative would come from this decision
>>579998518played a 250+ turn malakai game so i am burned out on dwarfs for the time beingamazing faction tho, the goats of gunpowder boxes, now I do miss not having cav to bait like with emp n outriders, but meh, u get frontline infantry that throw grenades and gyros etc to bait with
>>579998853I dunno, the way I play dwarfs, I find a hill, and I hold the hill.But it means that everyone that isn't part of the wall get killed (so miners will get bumrushed and die), and it also means that the enemy can just use artillery to smoke me out. And if that happens, it means I can't use my artillery to destroy the enemy's army, I need to focus the enemy artillery.
I find it interesting that CA has gone with that system of suspicion for 40k. Makes me think we'll get to recreate the Badab War, but with our own chapters.
>>579998368I'm still pissed about Marckus Wulfhart being forgotten when he has such an interesting campaign.
>>580000562Haw can one forget him? He says his name every fucking click.
>>580000807Ask CA.
I'm sure this is unintentional but the Empire AI is actually hard countering me with the armies it's producing. Spamming knights and outriders with a few Steam Tanks and Landships is super effective against my skaven hordes. The grenade launchers clear out my chaff and the knights shut my ranged down. Ikits army has managed to tank it since he's a beast on his Doomwheel and can keep the knights busy while ratling guns, jezzails and Warp Lightning cannons gun the horses down. Tretch however who has a more ambush-style melee army with only one Jezzail and 2 ratling guns got overwhelmed. Some random Empire general on a gryffin and more horses than Djenghis Khan managed to defeat poor Tretch.
>>580001000is that VH?
>>580001000I fucking love knights.
>>580001075Legendary Campaign, Hard battles I believe. I'm in a battle so can't check.
>>580001000if youre fighting field battles you need to be ambushingtry and avoid fighting battles at all if you canexpand the under empire, tunnel under them and summon armies to take settlmentsbuild garrisons and always be defendingyou're playing skaven, fight like a skaven

wood elves are better
>>580003646yeah
>>580002493>no more brother wars ar ar ar ar
>>580004251Yeah, I dunno then. Maybe I'll stick to Praetorians.
>>580003878One of the lead devs for Mark of the Ninja is working on it.
>>580004197They really are and I hope 40k will have exodites.
>>580003878>>580005685I did love Mark of the Ninja too and I have been wanting a stealth skaven assassin game for a long time, but I feel I might get a bit monkey paw'd in that it's set on Age of Sigmar, and so far from all the previews it's just gonna be skaven taking on skaven and nothing else. I had this dream of infiltrating Karaz-a-Karak and I might not get even something similar...

>>580006320Thrones of Decay. Tamurkhan/Elspeth/Malakai was such a good bundle.
>>580006519>massively fun empire (most fun race) lord>massively fun dwarf (goat race) lord>only chaos lord that's fun to play and coolwhat a DLC
>>580006320shadows of change... would be my pick but I think it needs one more rework
>>580006320LORDOFTHEENDTIMES
>>579973128I don't see why you can't try confedding Nagash as Arkhan, or being his vassal
>>580006320>>Tides of TormentThis one because Aislinn is fun.
>>580002754Calcium
>>580005897At the very least, Skaven aesthetics arent too different from fantasy to AoS so you can somewhat ignore itDepends if you're just gonna stab other rats all game or if they actually send you after something else

How is Settra level 5 when it's turn 2 lol
>>579976896ey it's that place from vermintide
>>579992078GW fucked up Kislev then passed the buck to CA.
>>579978186The difference is I want to fuck the tigers
>>580008576what a chadhe's going to rape nagash and skarbrand when new patch comes
>>580002754what do you humans need it for
>Nagash right next to Khemri>NAGASHIZZAR is right there in the perfect locationi dont care if its more "loreful" its been blatently obvious since nagashizzar was a city thats where he should go for a million reasons.how do CA manage to fuck so simple tings up everytime
>>580008998he didn't do so good against skarbrand, I guess that's the fate of nagash though, no one can stand against khorne
>>580008576The AI get crazy stupid cheats but it's not like Skar "The Infinite Mass" Brand should care>>580006634Tamurkhan was some crazy nurgle favoritism though
>>580009271>Start Nagash in a place that takes 20 years to get to AND has a skaven infestation next to Dragonfucker, Daemonfucker, Headfucker, Backstabber, and Grandfather's favorite little boyAny place you could drop him into is fucked
The "h" in "halberd" is silent.
>>580009271their logic was that nagishizzar is very hard to traverse fromthey could have done a hundred different things to accommodate for that
>>580009271Nagashizzar is a shithole start position unless they give him tunneling or teleport to compensate which would be a little oddHis pyramid isn't much better but it's the better choice since you're not bottlenecked by the shitty mountains
>>580009271Nagashizzar kinda sucks as a start pos because of the mountains and shit.
>>580009271But consider this:PATH OF NAGASH POWERED BY THE PYRAMID
>>580009581Is it french in origin? I'd imagine the "d" would also be silent then.
>>580009682what do the topmost upgrades do?
>>580006519its the best dlc in the trilogy by an enormous margini have put in hundreds of turns across all of themimperial gunnery, gardens of morr, adventures, and chieftans are all exemplar campaign mechanics
>>580009453well I'm playing a stupid op faction so the settings are on legendary/very hard, khemri has fallenI lost interest in this campaign and I'm going back to my 100th malekith campaign
>>580003272
>>580009874Mode: Nagash go killIdkwe'll probably see it during the stream this week
>>580009682>It even looks like PoE's treeWas that on purpose?
>>579993132Just started a Masque campaign and how the hell does the dance mechanic work? Also bro miss me with negative traits I’m here to have fun but apparently that is not allowed.
>>580009453I mean every dlc is powercrept to make people buy it, thrones of decay are all the best of their faction, ikit was the best now it's gonna be than, etc etc etcFor me Tamurkhan is the only interesting chaos lord, maggot lord genghis that's actually by chaos standards reasonable n smart
>>580010619I wanted to try that fatty, but he's so fucking slow man i want to cry
>>580009586Well they could also make it a non-shit province but no, for some reason it and the Galleon's Graveyard need to be terrible to go into>>580010003Personally don't find Skarbrand too OP, shit economy but maybe I need to not fall into the trap of Malagor's weird funhouse swamp
>>580009772Not in french:https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallebarde
How do I achieve Tamurkhan mode?
>>580010891Eat and be merry.
>>580010891get a demonic maggot to burrow into your bodyit probably would kill you tho
>>580010891Tamurkhan natty is not really achievable for aryans, we're more of a Louen sort of group.
>>580010745>Personally don't find Skarbrand too OP, shit economythe way I go about him is the same as lu bu, I don't care about settlements, just go on a rampage and get battle loot, your first settlement doesn't matter anyways, just go fight everything in range and declare war to everyone in sightany faction that has extra range is always gonna be op
>>580010745>you sack settlements for 100kthere's your economy bro>>580011228i can't believe skulltaker just pingpongs around the map so much more faster and better than skarbrand, its kinda lamepowercreep, i spose
>>580011393thats his gimmick, teleports around the world, yells at people to fight him, keeps yelling at them if they dont and eventually leaves because he wants consent and is not roastmaster wulfrik
>>580011393yea I did a campaign with skulltaker going in blind with khorne factions and I think I got the campaign goal in less than 15 turns or something, granted it took a few hours becauses I played every battle manually but still, being able to fight anyone so much since the beginning is so op, you get levels, you get movement, your economy relies on fighting, khorne is easily the best god
>>580011393>Skulltaker>One of Legends most fun campaigns he had until it all went down hilldamn..
>>580012097>ManuallyThat's how you're supposed to play Khorne.AR causes him to lose fuck tons of bodies, manual control just smashing your line into the enemy line costs almost nothing and wins.
>>580011043How do I achieve Louen mode
>>580012283eat more baguettes
>>580012283work on your french accent
>>580011228I'm not really good enough to fight as Khorne without taking losses though
>>580009676>>580009630They could give him Nagashizzar as the starting settlement and just have him start on outside the mountains. Can position him to take Bitter Bay and start beefing with Imrik early or put him on the other side where he can work his way through the mountains. My theory as to why they're shoving him in Black Pyramid is so they can test reactions to starting major factions next to each other because GW won't let them expand the map by opening up Ind/Khuresh/Nippon/etc. It's shit btw, Settra is the dark haired kot, Nagash is the white one, and Skarbrand is the yellow one.
Should I do scrambled eggs or sunny side up?Total war pharaoh!
found one of my webms from the 3k show of zilong tearing shit up
>>580013452
>>580012887It's funny because you don't have to be an expert to be a khorne player, loses don't matter, you send your lord and heroes to kill the enemy lords and heroes and your dudes to kill everyone else At one point you even want to lose most of your army so your lord gets the blood soaked or whatever is called buff that gives your lord %hp.it's the classic select everyone and send them inall you have to do with khornate factions is fight everyone in range
>>580014007Maybe it's because Skarbrand starts off fighting some pretty stacked orcs so i feel like I get more army losses than ar
>>580014189What I did in my campaign before I got bored was make a blood host to kill the savage orcs and use skarbrand to kill settra, so I had mulltiplying armies going both north and southyou can ally queek too if you want, I just kill him and everyone else, if I lose my settlement so be it, your income comes from fights anywqays and skarbrand isn't likely to lose a fight
>>580013293Always go scrambled when you can. Nothing beats a good scrambo. That's what we call them here, by the way. We call it an eggs scrambo.
>>580012887Spawn blood army on skarbrand to keep up bloodlettingInvest in blue for QoL at the start then respec if you wantOnce you have the range and refresh to ping pong around settlements and armies it's pretty easy to keep momentum, it's only getting there that's a bit tricky and requires a bit of optimization
>>580014529>scramboGood morning saar!
See that's what makes Khorne a surprisingly wholesome chungus. He doesn't care where the skulls or the blood come from. It's kind of beautiful, in a way. And our scientists at Moderna have been hard at work on creating the perfect satisfaction for Khorne. Rather than grow a full person, then drain their blood and extract their skull and add it to the skull mountain, we can just grow a human head in a vat! Then flay it for a fresh skull on the mountain when it has ripened. But what about blood? We have another vat full of hearts pumping blood nonstop.
>>580013452>>580013958i dont get why this looks better than any of the shit that comes out of bollywood despite the fact theyre basically the same
>>580015108You uh, you really don't understand why?
Some anon roasted Magnus the other day after I commented on how unlucky he is and he said Magnus refused the Emperor's offer of redemption because he's just a dummy doo-doo head, and I've come to refute it now that I've learned more about it. Magnus hadn't actually rejoined with all his shards, he never managed to recover Janus which was quite literally all the best and most humane parts of him (even then he still did a few good acts and protected human citizens during the siege of Terra which implies full Magnus is so good even getting an Angron-tier lobotomy can't make him fall entirely). And second, that anon forgot to mention that Emps' offer also involved putting down what remained of the Thousand Sons and making Magnus sit on the throne seemingly forever (at least as Emps says it). Yeah no shit Magnus refused.I've also learned the single dumbest and most selfish thing Magnus actually did was not picking up the phone when Leman was desperately calling him to try and give him a chance to explain himself before attacking though. Internet memes had led me to think Russ was just being a bloodthirsty jock about the whole thing, so my opinion of him also improved.Honestly I quite like Magnus, he's the kind of hubristic villain/maybe even anti-villain that I usually like, the one with good intentions that get subverted by others/blow up because of an honest mistake, and they spiral down into actually becoming antagonistic against their own ideals. Anyone got any recommendations on which other legions/primarchs to read up on? Or other 40k subfactions that are just neat. Kinda getting tired of space marines, but their lore is fucking endless.
>>580015108>>580015253>I've also learned the single dumbest and most selfish thing Magnus actually did was not picking up the phone when Leman was desperately calling him to try and give him a chance to explain himself before attacking though.

>>580015253But why do they call him Magnus the Red?
>>580015452He's easily embarrassed.
>skaven are the most numerous race in the setting >skaven have the best underway in the setting>skaven have the best tech in the settingHow haven't they won the setting yet
>>580015452Take a fucking guess anon.
>>580015253he's a daemon prince by the end. we've never seen a daemon accept the emperor's mercy since magnus is part of tzeentch now. they may not be able to since they are soul-slaved
Wifey...
>>579974430The empire has never been remotely similar to the HRE, what the fuck are you talking about. Jesus, pick up a fucking history book sometime.
>>580015608Too busy fighting one another instead of uniting
>>580013218>not posting the webm
>>580015652I've read around theories that Ahriman finding the Black Library and perfecting the rubric could actually mean unbinding the legion and Magnus from Tzeentch and Chaos entirely, which would make them able to be redeemed, but that's a gigantic "if" and would obviously be the first case of actual redemption from Chaos in the setting. But also, I think they're the one legion where they wholesale fucking despise being bound to Chaos? Not even a divided thing like say, the Death Guard, where Mortarion hates it but Typhus loves it, everyone in the Thousand Sons unanimously agrees Chaos has been nothing but shit and even though they don't like the Imperium either they'd rather get rid of it.
>>580015253>I've also learned the single dumbest and most selfish thing Magnus actually did was not picking up the phone when Leman was desperately calling him to try and give him a chance to explain himself before attacking though.I will only warn you about this once: almost everything you read online about 40k lore is untrue. I have read tons of the books and when I see people discuss or quote them online, they very often misquote or misunderstand the characters. Even something you think could be objectively true might not be because the average 40k book reader is a fucking barely-literate troglodyte that has never heard of an unreliable narrator and has read 3 books in his life. This goes doubly for reading shit off any of the wikis.You've been warned.
>>580015836what the hell is this
Okay. Wow. Wow yeah okay. That's... that's fucking wholesome chungus energy right there. Fuck. I'm gonna fucking chungus all over us. Nurgle! Nurgle is THE most wholesome chungus of the Chaos gods and it isn't even close. He's like if a hecking doggerino became a Chaos god. He's all about life. About living. And laughing. And loving your fellow Nurglies. Live, laugh, love. And you're not alone. Everyone is there with you. Connected with you. Your network is your net worth and once you join Nurgle it's like LinkedIn but for people. You're all connected by life molecules. Friends, family, all come together. With faith. Friends, family, faith. Eyes getting a little bit watery just writing this. Just love the idea of Nurgle so much. More life! More for everyone.

>>580015942I've already read this story from like 4 different sources, including some that were like "I fucked up on my first explanation and would like to rectify". I think I'm fairly sure I've contrasted it enough to get an accurate retelling of events.Not the actual books though because fuck no I'm not buying then reading 49 books to learn ONLY about the Heresy, AND THEN HAVE EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE SETTING LEFT. GW is fucking insane.>>580016101He got his shit kicked in by Angron. Also lost to Lion, if you want to count Lion throwing one more punch than was necessary after Russ already lowered his guard.

>>580016358He tactically lost to Angron on purpose, Angron got his shit kicked it right after You wouldn't understand... All brawn no brain...
>>580016358Horus Heresy's Adventures are kinda shit anywaysJust make up a story in your head and call it canon like the original James Workshop intended
>>580016358Yeah, never read the entire HH. For one it's a disjointed mess but for another some of the books are fucking horrible because Black Library authors are comprised of 50% talentless hacks, 40% people just grinding out commission writing for a paycheck, and 10% actual good writers. It's genuinely not worth it.
Why is Japan promoting smoking suddenly? Weren't they promoting making babies a few years ago???
Anyone who criticizes the Horus Heresy is hiding the fact they don't like it because it proves that the Imperium is based on a lie and Chaos is the real protagonist of the setting.
>>580015934There is no redemption. The Black Library would just mean giving the primordial evil more forbidden knowledge. and any seeming solution to the Rubric Marines will just means more sacrifice and suffering because that's just how it be with Ahriman and Chaos
>>580014382I see, alright I'll keep that in mind. As long as I don't spend 15 turns in the slowest swamp in the game I should be alright
>>580016760I don't like the Horus Heresy because I think Warhammer: 40,000 should be about Humans vs Xenos (Red) vs Xenos (Green) vs Xenos (Blue) vs Gay Chaos MutantsI need my xenos!!

>>580017137There are no blue humans in Warhammeria!!
>>580015948new beastwomen anime
>>580016762it really shouldn't take you a lot to have a few armies fucking shit up, couple of turns at bestand you shoudln't care about protecting settlements either, just make armies and send them destroy shit
>>580017154it is not necessary to eat poop and puke into your own wounds so the maggots and other carrion insects living within them can feast
Let's think about the other races in Warhammer 40k.What are their versions of the Horus Heresy?
>>580016727yani neko isn't rly promoting it when it's the grossest nekos ever doing it to ruin their lives>>580017291It's the funniest anime I've seen in a while, watch 3 more eps if u don't find it funny drop at that point ig, almost every ep got some giggles out of me, but 2-3 or was it 3-4 were particularly weak eps, 4-5-6-7 are excellent

>>580018331>a gardener doesn't shit in his fieldsnight soil
>>580018562War of the Beast wasn't really narratively important to the Orks, was it? It was just a big waaagh. No original sin or any of that.
>>580018797Ehhh, I reached a bit, but I'd also count it in the sense that it's been downhill from them ever since.Could also just say the War in Heaven for the first three.
>>579985640I can’t get over how he’s wearing a dominatrix corset, once I noticed it I can never not notice it. Did Khorne put him in that to further humiliate him and he can’t take it off because of his wings? Or did he choose to wear that?
Whoever invited the Tyranid into the milky way was a real jerk!
>>580018983I think it's a broken breastplate and the whole upper part got blown to pieces after Khorne yeeted him.
>>580015942I just make up whatever lore I want and decide it's true. Especially about orks.
>>580018983You DICKNOW I CANT UNNOTICEITNOOOOOO
>>580019262based
>>580018797War of the Beast was important narratively as much as it possibly could be.The Ork storyline isn't about past sins, but rather current day squalor. The original Orks created by the Old Ones were proper soldiers with advanced technology, and the War of the Beast implies that Orks have the potential to reclaim their former glory. The Orks themselves are unaware of just how far they have fallen, thus creating a small tragedy in which the Orks are "happy" in their current state but they'd be far happier if the Beast had won.

>>580016727Smoking legitimately gets you more social experience, and is better for making friends and lovers.
>>580018983wtf he's right
>>580015608If the game's diplomacy was more lore accurate>Chaos factions would be warring with each other>Skaven factions would have negative diplomacy with one another, but wouldn't war, would just be hard to set up trade networks which would be necessary to get the better units>Empire would be loose defensive alliances or NAPs and never allow confederation until Chaos or Greenskins have all assembled into one big faction
>>580021129>Mors never got too farMors rising in the council is relatively recent and they're on the verge of rivaling the great clans, if the setting didn't end (and also actually progressed) they would take over skavendom
>>580021415It's fun to imagine a Total War game with fun diplomacy mechanics.
>>580021553>if the setting didn't end (and also actually progressed) they would take over skavendomMore likely they would have gotten a lot of power but got cucked by the other clans for not having grey seers.
>>580021594I agree.I think the worst part with Warhammer is that even with the mechanics already there, there are a lot of weaknesses simply due to the fact that the devs had to slavishly work around the idea that you should be able to diplomacy/confederate other LLs of your race.I remember finding it kind of neat how for a while Vlad and Mannfred had to war with one another to see who took over Sylvania and then launched an attack on the empire, and there should have been more examples of that in game.
>>580018983
>>580021603Gray seers more like gay queers they do nothing and skaven would be better off without them and Mors rising proves it
>>580021882Obviously.That doesn't change the fact that when power is threatened, power shows solidarity to stop the rising threat.
>>5800215943 Kingdoms has diplomacy mechanics, Cao Cao will backstab you after an alliance of 50 turns, while Sun Ce and Lu Bu will break all agreements and attack you without caring about their diplomatic reliability.
>>580021415>>580021594>>580021729How do you guys feel about diplomacy being very little or none at all in 40k?I mean it makes sense lore wise... but... it's a total war video game and diplomacy is a core part of it somewhat...
>>580022016It stops minor faction #10 from asking for open borders when Grimgor is about to roll him over. Gets rid of tedium.
>>580022016I think as long as they expand the 4x elements in other ways, it's fine if diplomacy is heavily limited to fit the setting.I also think CA isn't going to expand the 4x elements in enough ways to make the campaign interesting, and as a result we're walking into a situation where TW40k is basically a fancier Soul Storm.
>>580021594I did like that some factions in 3K could almost totally avoid battle and control the map through diplomacy. Getting some suckers dependent on you for rice and then fleecing them for land while they undergo a severe food shortage as the trade contract expires was a lot of fun. I don't see why wh3 couldn't have a little of that
Are there 4X games with fun and interesting diplomacy?
>>580022016Hard to say, while it's fitting for 40K because every faction actively fights each other except the occasional alliance against Nids/Chaos/Necrons/Orks/Drukhari, it isn't a long-term thing. You really can't share half the galaxy with Necrons even if they dont really want all that much anymore because you're kicking the war down the line until it comes up for someone and the Emperor wouldn't want it for instance. Meanwhile, most people hate each other in fantasy but no one wants to get taken over by Skaven or dark elves
>>580022403Considering TWW3 couldn't even have all of the fixes and balance chances from TWW2 because CA's management didn't understand the idiocy of having the TWW3 work from such an old build of the game... I think it's a miracle TWW3 is what it is.
>>580022016If it helps resolves some of the deathball issues like ordertide dominating every game I'm okay with it, but I can't trust CA enough to do it correctlyNo matter how you look at it the campaign is going to be barebones as fuck but if the battles are still good and the campaign allows for wonky shit like spess mehrens and eldar ganging up on imperial guard then I can still be happyAI still being shit and I Win buttons everywhere with artillery make me worried though
>>580007296Needs more than one imo given they gave it the bare minimum and thought we’d eat the Hyenas slop they tried and failed to shit out.
>>580023665>HyenasIt's insane to me that CA spent the majority of the TWW2 money on Hyenas, then when TWW3 was a mess of a launch they figured Hyenas would make all of the money back, only for now that that has all failed, and they lost a great deal of devs due to horrible mismanagement, CA has the gall to tell us that if LotET doesn't sell well enough, they'll pull the plug on TWW3.
>>580024019That’s what they also said with Shadows of Change’s minimal price and content three years ago. “Accept this or we pull the plug”. Fortunately someone at Sega who knew what a golden goose Total Warhammer was and saw how it was being squandered throttled them by the neck with SoC, but I still don’t understand how Sega and CA thought Hyenas was a good idea in the first place in the late 2010s.
>>580022705Civ games, endless legend 2
>>580022016>and diplomacy is a core part of it somewhatDiplomacy has been perhaps the least functional set of mechanics for the entirety of the franchise's existence.
>>580025041The way it goes for games like Hyenas is that it's in conceptual development for well over 5 years, and at some point around the time assets are done (year 4 or so) the devs are running into the sunken cost fallacy and they've already invested too much to not try releasing. A smarter person would have realized the fad died years ago before they went into the ugly character design, but who really knows what's going on in there.

>>5800215943k was really amazing with the leadership mattering. I had a guy who had a personality issue where when I disagreed with him on a diplomacy decision (Invite someone into our coalition) he permanently hated my guts, declared war on me and fought without compromise. Then he dies and his successor is a peace at all costs guy who sues for peace right away.>>580022016It makes sense depending on how much there is for the Imperium factions, and then to a mild degree with the Eldar. I think there's one ork faction who can be hired mercenaries, but by and large the diplomacy in 40k is more localized and personal and less geopolitical.>it's a total war video game I feel very confident in the prediction that:1) A lot of people are going to be very dismayed at how not-total-war 40kTW is. 2) Shitposters are going to rag on it and claim it's the worst total war as a result - that doesn't mean it will be a bad game though, on the contrary - 3) People will consider it one of the best 40k games of all time, and after enough DLC they are going to consider it either a true successor to Dawn of War 1 or even better than Dawn of War 1.4) CA will retroactively walk back some of the less Total-war-y features like the diplomacy issue in the futureI don't say this as a shitposter hating 40k, as aside of the starting faction choices I am looking forward to it even if I might wait for the first DLC. But to avoid being disappointed I'd say people should not expect warhammer fantasy total war in space. This is going to be something different.
>>580028401From what I've seen of 40K there's a lot of automatic stuff going on, everyone seems to generally be a skirmisher unit which takes cover automatically depending on where the battle is taking place. I'm sure when there's more going on there will be proper wargame shit like monsters or flanking or mobile units and everything, but it'll be a very different beast from the fantasy trilogy.
Do you think that Plaguebearers can defeat Saurus Warriors?

FOR GRAND CATHAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>>580038543NO FUCK U UR GAME SUCKSI playec civ 4 or 5 I think. The entire game is just doing FUCKING NOTHING for endless hours until you get nukes and then you just nuke everyone. This "game" isn't even a game. It's actually less of a game than HoI.

Hehe....XD
I've been working on some new lore for the Tyranids to make them more accessible. A woman of the Imperium who is really good at commanding armies and stuff like that gets mind melded by the Tyranids and she joins them and she becomes like super evil.

>>580041165Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate that. I'll write my letter to Games Workshop.
>>580041607If you believe that this thread doesn't know that I'm slow in the head you must be new to /twg/I tried civ with my friend long ago and I only have 2 memories of that game.The first was it suddenly ending and telling us that some ai faction "won" cause of research points. Victory conditions are for cucks..2nd memory was cavemen poking sticks at a helicopter and the helicopter went splodeHm.. well I guess I remember nuking everyone with my fren too. So there is nothing else to that game. U poke sticks at helicopters and nuke everyone.
>>580042087>Victory conditions are for cucks..You're really going to hate Warhammer: 40,000 then.
If the dwarfs were to get a flc legendary lord, who would you want?
>>580042404bugman of course, tho I wouldn't mind a recycled grom mechanic for him
>>580042345I already do, anon sama.40k is such a pathetic and stupid universe. I hate it so much.>hurr muhreens>hurr muh rotting corpse emperor>hurr heresy>hurr blue dudes with axe wounds in their faceIt's terrible.
>>580042345how so, the conditions are binding?
Victory Conditions can be fun (evident by the VCO mod)CA can't make them fun and unique though. Even the reworked WH3 ones seem boring comparatively to the mod
>>580042886am curious why they haven' simply ported the mod's condition. Just polish some bits and credit the guy
>>580042886I have play strategy games all my life. Anno, civ, tw, stellaris, hoi, etc. i have not once in my life seen fun victory conditions.So you are lying.

>>58004275740k is based around battle win conditions to be true to the tabletop experience. You may be fighting another army, but your real goal is to get more victory points than them.
>>580043465Anon, you are really bad at the video game. How comes?
>>580043642stop posting this woman.. shes doing thing to me...
>>580043465Round here we call that a TTL moment. What's TTL? Great question. We'll circle back to that. That's what an alliance is, in a way. You're bigger than them, and you still allied with them? They figure: yeah, we've got these big fuckers by the short and curlies, let's freaking fuck shit up. Which is why alliances are one of the worst thing a nation state can engage in. True to Life. TTL.
>>580043719To me too.. it is the influence of the chaos gods, anon... don't fight it... slaanesh wants to see you happy, nothing more..Just accept the fun feelings. I'm currently still angry that the last few episodes aren't translated yet.... FUG
>>580043867used good
>>580043628mods will fix it day one
>>580044090New engine. You really think they'll let mods happen again?
>>580044126They already confirmed mods though, eventually whenever they release the creation tools (which might be a while to be fair) we'll get some basic shit up and running againthe 40k community is mad autistic so i'm sure we'll see some cool shit
>>580043628All the gameplay shown has come down to killing the enemy army.
>>580043628>>580044572They talked about objectives previouslyGeneric battles are an "Annihilation" modeIn first trailer we have seen point capture reminiscent of DoW evenProbably depends on the battlefield. Planets have unique locations which you sometimes need to conquer. Notice how many quest battles in TWW lately are so unique.I believe there may be game modes like "Assassination" where you have to kill particular unit. Like in Gotrek and Felix quest battleOr point capture or destroy building
>>580045521>Commander, the tyranids are attacking one of our shrines. Gets me excited at first but then I remember how awful the gameplay looks.I think I'll play some dow2 today.
>>580045521They said domination mode from TWW3 is replacing siege battles.

Is ROC even worth playing? And if I do what LL would you recommend?
>>580049664any chaos dwarf
>>580049664Only if you want something shorter on the side, play one of the DLC lords so you don't have to do the default RoC stuff which can be boring(there's a few mods to turn it off though)
>>580049918I see.>>580049923I sort of like the layout of the Empire, but it's weird only having so few factions available, and some of them are unplayable even if they are present. I also noticed that most of the newer DLC lords aren't even playable in that mode either.
is nagash the only real genius in the warhammer verse?
>>580050175Yes.t. definitely not Nagash
can anyone tell me why nagash and his morghasts + his bonereapers in aos all have their midriff exposed?
>>580050175
>>580050263he isnt dead hes clearly alive and moving with intelligence, hell... he's more alive them some of the people here
>>580050257Because you wouldn't be able to see the stitched skin around his waist section if he wore armor over it.
>>580032040Wrong! It's funny and interesting
>>580050128CA said that Thrones of Decay (Nurgle, Empire and Dwarf one) was the last one that would get RoC and that IE would be the only thing getting support from that point onwards.
>>580050257Fashion statement
>>580050257It's a Tomb King thing. They love showing off their concave tummies.
>>580050979im assuming that something important is kept in the upper torso
>>580015608Too busy fucking over each other to make a big play for world dominance. The times they've tried always ended up biting them. Their endgame was always pitched as "one day the grey seers will unite them and conquer the world for ratkind." So of course one of the first things that happens to them in the End Times is that the rest of the Council of Thirteen unites AGAINST the grey seers.

Question: Do I rape and gape all other Cathayniggas
>>580054671As much as I love Chorf mechanics and aesthetics, I just can't take Dwarfs seriously in any fiction. I mean what are these manlets going to do to stop me from picking them up and slamming in their heads? Oh a dwarf is getting uppity? Literally just running kick the little shit across the field.
>>580056020I assumed dwarves in fiction were always extremely dense despite being so short
>>580056020Problem is that a dorf is not like a irl Dwarf.Ripped but at the same time as wide and fat like a regular British geezer.You aren't throwing that shorty around he will throw you.At least Warhammer and Warcraft dorfs are
>>580056020That's why they have to be built like this
>>580056229Meanwhile 90% of Gimli scenes are just him being memed on
>>580056229Also lotr Dwarves are about the same. Strong and bloody heavy Aragorn is a very strong man to throw Gimli.>>580056335Yes he is a comic relief in the movies but he is still a bloody beast in combat
>>580056236Ease up on the black pudding Ulrika...
Should I play Orks or skaven? And what LL would you recommend from each faction?
>>580057976Wait with skaven until Thanquol releases
>>580057976Skaven with either Ikit Claw if you like ranged or Throt for monsters and infantry
>>580057976skarsnikqueek
I have tried getting used to the Tabletop unit-cap mod, but I honestly just don't like it. It's creators probably doesn't play the game, or at the very least they don't play 90% of the factions. More often than not you will have what could be considered basic line-infantry take 2/10 special points, and worse examples like Gnobblar riders taking 2 special points... It's just way to limiting for the player, but I can't find any other mods that tries to force the AI to make more sensical armies, and not just spam 20 mammoths.Does anyone have experience with the mod called New unit caps for all? It ties the available amount of units to the buildings that produces them, but that also seems to be the case for simple units like sword/spearmen, so I fear it could get very tedious very quickly. I just wish some of these fags would let you click a toggle so these rules only apply to the AI...
>>580058869they're copying the tabletop, hence the name.
>>580058987Yea I get that. But Tabletop caps translates very poorly into the game itself. It also seems strange why they would neglect putting a cap on heroes, but maybe that's not something you can actually do idk
>>580001000Nice tripsGet tabletop caps mod so armies actually need to be diverse and the empire cant just build stacks of nothing but knights and landships

>>580057976Personally I would play SkavenIt's fun learning the old units and the clans themselves are very different and they might play completely different in that the new units will just powercreep everything so you never play the old units againOrks will just stay Orks so you have plenty of time to learn them

>>580058869>More often than not you will have what could be considered basic line-infantry take 2/10 special pointsIt’s not meant to be evenly balanced. Melee infantry focused factions can take higher tier melee infantry options as core. Ranged and artillery focused factions have a variety of options in core/special categories rather than 1 choice that needs 2 or 3 rare points.>gnoblar riders being 2 special points My guess is that Ogres are the big monster mash faction and thus having an elite (for a gnoblar) chaff option is out of their scope, thus it’s more expensive.

>>580076141Bait used to be believable
>>580073402Red Neel is not so inhibited.
>>580074795Cathay. Cathay can stack spell power and has negate magical weapons aura. So the physical resistance you stack is basically turned into ward save. 8.0 updated also added Life Lore for Cathay with Bhashiva DLC.
Uh, so how old is Ikit Claw suppose to be?
>>580084132old enough to party
If you become an undead in warhammer, you can't resist nagash?

>>580089186Why did they abandon this game again?
>>580089327after this dlc its all hands on deck for 40k getting released on time
>>580089186never>>580089575because GW let them make Cathay in TWW3
>>580073105now describe what having a kroxigor pet and bloodletter would be like
Lorewise, do you think Nakai has the strength/skill to beat a Bloodthirster?
>>580090449He's been killing daemons for years. he's probably on the top of the scoreboard in that regard. i'd say he could easily yes. Maybe not against Skarbrand.
actually, I am retarded, of course he can, he BTFO'd legions of daemons on his own
>>580089575It was discount Rome 2 with Warhammer Lords or something
>>580090754>Nakai killed so many daemons in one spot that other demons literally FEAR going to it and the site itself has become a holy placebased crocodile
>>580090449Fucking halberd lads dunk on bloodthirsters, canonically and lorewise
>>580089575DLCs flopped and the last one actually made the CCP mad because they don't talk about the Eight Princes period.
>>580090449Gotrek did it so nakai would pawn them
Are they ever gonna fill this part of the map? it's been years,fuck...
>>580091812NoNeverEverBecause GW says noJust use IEExpanded like everyone else. Solution is right there
>>580091812They said they asked permission, but GW said no.
>>580090449Everyone could beat a Bloodthirster. Not Skarbrand though
>>580091934>>580092063what? that's so gay as expected from gw.guess i'll mod it then.
>>579961080Elf women twisting their panties so they look and fit like thongs
>>580092063Does GW even have stories for those regions?
>>580092179It's GW IP. It would be very cucked of them if they let someone else flesh it out. As long as GW has no interest in those regions and does not expand them, those places are not allowed to be touched by anyoneUse IEExpaned>>580092571No
>>580092179They were okay with Vamp Coast because they used official material for it despite 75% of the Roster and lords being complete OC with no rules, but both Kislev and Cathay were either armies in development or had substantially more shit written for them by GW. I suppose VP were so well received that GW doesn't want to be overshadowed or have CA's hand on the setting more than they do already (though they absolutely deserve it, Fantasy has received better treatment under CA than it has in GW for a decade and it was only thanks to Total War that we're getting the old world edition.)Either way, pure faggotry. As expected from the Nurgle pushers GW
>>580092179>>580092571GW is afraid that CA might put out a better Warhammer product than they will. This goes pretty much for every third party that's fan of Warhammer, they either buy them up and throw them in an oubliette to die of obscurity (see the Astartes guy) or kill them off with a DMCA claim. But CA is too big for any of that, so GW was forced to use their final trick: Saying no.
>>580092371https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Underwear/Elf
>>580077882wait why don't steam tanks do thisthey can't just run down infantry like that right, never seen them do itthey just kinda collide n stick
Alright so why the fuck cannot I not replenish any troops as Delves? I'm fucked right now because literally everyone is at war with me and I can't even keep my armies at full strength.
>>580092571Ind, Khuresh, and Nippon (as well as the Mongolian region, to an extent) has written lore but none of them have had proper army books. Mongols are atm just asian Norscans for instance. There's a lot of sick ass Cathay lore even before they had a proper modern army
>>580092669>It is very cucked of them if they let someone else flesh it out>Said Anglo Jews also refuse to flesh it out instead of vagueposting in the loreFantasy Australia may as well not exist btw
>>579965568That's your mom
>>580055425Can't unless I want certain units to be wiped out, and I refuse to let that happen.
>>580053916Bro your dodging?
>>580092670I'm curious if CA owns the rights to anything they made for Vampire Coast or if all of their material belongs to GW.We know that's why GW retconned out a lot of oldhammer shit due to wanting to own every part of the property.In fact, the more I think about it, the more I suspect GW just doesn't want to deal with any lore that hasn't gone through their legal, marketing, and sensitivity teams first, and since they probably have a contract that says they own all lore that CA writes, they would prefer CA not to write anything at all.
>>580094125nta but units take multiple seconds just to turn around if they're fighting
>>580093817>Fantasy Australia may as well not exist btwJust like real life Australia tbqh
>>580056020Chorfs have it even worse btw, they slowly petrify because dwarven physiognomy is immune to chaos corruption so they get heavier and denser as time goes on. Astragoth for instance needs his battle mecha or else he physically cannot move. Hashut is quite the benevolent chud for a chaos demon to still bless these silly goobers despite it objectively being easier to subjugate and enslave a group of Norscans into industrializing (like the 11s)
>>580091812right after the bretonnia rework
>>580094174>owns the rightsThat was actually a big debate at the time, I think they settled on it being GW content under the creative supervision of CA. There was an even bigger deal when writing Warhammer 3 I think because of the special campaign? I don't recall too well but I remember there being a few articles
>>580094308Only the magic using chorfs turn to stone
>>580093651just bring a black ark :^)
Does anyone else ever get tired of how every campaign is designed to fuck you over unless you do a very specific set of actions from the beginning and the game does not do anything to tell you what those actions are?
hello i hate cathay and kislev because they are soulless and poorly designed in almost every aspect
>>580093817Their production capabilities are already stretched thin, starting even more useless armies for tiny side game would be insane. Cathay was a mistake anyway
>>580094890join the club
>>580094568No. I think the problem is that you're a perfectionist and don't enjoy setbacks or suboptimal campaign development. But of course I don't know you and I'm just throwing accusations out of thin air.
>>580095071When the entire region around me is at war with me on Turn 10 I think that's a little more than a setback.
>>580094483From a quick googling>In Warhammer II, CA was allowed to design new units, characters and even develop new factions from existing bits of lore, like Norsca and the Vampire Coast that had nothing to do with upcoming GW products.>By contrast, in Warhammer III, CA were forced to change entire units from their DLC last minute to fit GW's design and nonsensically forbidden from using units or even taking slight visual cues from "Age of Sigmar" or "The Old World" reboot. (Nuln Ironsides and Tzaangors are two infamous examples of GW being obtuse about DLC inclusions)>We can even see this shift in the online space. Once upon a time, it was relatively easy to find old Warhammer content online (Army Books, White Dwarf Magazines, etc) and fan-made animations and the like were aplenty. In the years since, the internet has almost been purged clean and GW have made a name for themselves by copyright striking and threatening several fan projects.So basically CA isn't allowed to invent anything anymore.
>>580095142If everyone is at war with you it's because you fucked up.Like you broke a starting treaty levels of fucked up.
>>580092110>>580090754I think Nakai vs Skarbrand would be a great fight and actually extremely hard for either to win.
>>580094125It's hard to dodge when your troops are involved a fight. I managed to miss the first ability by making my troops run forward, but the second one almost wiped out an entire unit of archers that were stationary and firing.
>>580094531Chaos Magic>>580094947A lore book isn't that hard to make, an army book (in concept). May as well let CA do all the work anyway, they clearly love the IP more than they do
>>580095147I don't recall but was that also around the time TTS had to get cancelled because of GW being jews with fan content?
>>580095583They cannot make an Army Book without model range
>Averland voted for Halflings-killing party >againLL that feel ?
>>580095968Marius Leitdorf
>every unit shootsfuckkkkislev kinda annoying to fihgt
>>580095147Norsca and VCoast are no different from they are doing now, which is digging out obscure content from White Dwarf and other footnotesAoS is a separate IP and it's content was always impossible to add, which is why it's mods were being nuked just as well as Lotr and 40k onesNuln Ironsides committed a cardinal sin of trying to lie about what they are. This same DLC added "invented" units like an entire unit with Long Rifles or ground marine Amethyst Hangunners. But those were fine since they were still based on lore. Making Nuln Ironsides with Repeaters would be incorrect
>>580096218nvm they do no dmg for ranged units
>>580096302>I knew someone would latch onto this, but I didn't want to further bloat my original comment.>The key difference is that Norsca and the Vampire Coast were both incomplete rosters. Sub-factions that were only ever fleshed out individually in old and obscure sources. (post-3rd edition, Norsca was only a standalone faction in Citadel Journal Issue 6-7 from 1994 and the Vampire Coast army almost exclusively comes from two articles in White Dwarf #305-306 back in May/June 2005)>That old Norsca army list sadly isn't even considered canon anymore and not the direction GW want to take with them. (as stated by GW staff working with CA on Total War some years ago)>Both Norsca and the Vampire Coast required substantial creative liberties from Creative Assembly to bring them to life; which included the creation of several new units and an entirely new Legendary Lord; along with the bending of the lore surrounding Aranessa, Sartosa, the Fimir and arguably Throgg.>Another factor to consider is that neither of them saw any substantive love from GW themselves. CA were allowed to make them for their own sake, rather than to cross-promote something GW was doing.>In the case of Cathay and Kislev, GW didn't allow CA to flesh out these Races on a whim; nor did they give them creative freedom to design their rosters from scratch. GW built the Races themselves in-house and allowed CA to release them in Warhammer III ahead of The Old World reboot to cross-promote their Tabletop debut.>It's been known for years that Kislev's Tabletop army was delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, which is why we've yet to see it.
>>580096218cavless armies are disgustingbut dark riders are such shit I can't blame you
>>580096537it's turn 9 i don't have access to chose things
>>580096302>>580096530>Also not mentioned here is the Dogs of War, who have either been shelved, or permanently cancelled for Total War (despite leaks and signs of development for years at this point). This is largely due to GW delaying their Tabletop release in The Old World.>Over the last 2 years, The Old World was ramping up to the re-introduction of Tilea and Estalia and even revealed a map of the Southern Realms, with a level of detail we'd never seen in the setting's 41-year history. However they had to postpone their plans due to accidentally greenlighting a map that, unbeknownst to them, was actually fan-made this entire time and just taken as gospel by the Wiki and broader community for many years.>Halting or cancelling DLC plans due to GW's release schedule was never something Creative Assembly had to consider in the past and is a sign they have less autonomy in what they can add to their games now imo.
>>580096630also its my first time playing delvesi didn't even know these guys had no global recruitmentneed to spawn an ark asapalso>noctilus is already raping ulthuantough
>>580095872I blame GW (for being gay)
>>580096530>>580096673LITERALLY no different from CA did in TWW3 with "invented" Monogods and Daniel.They weren't allowed to touch Cathay and never would be allowed to touch Cathay even if they tried to do them in early TWW2 days.They could always only operate within scope of what was established already. This is how every developer using GW IPs always had to work likeRedditor you are copypasting is a retard
>>580096218>not using your shielded melee to soak up arrows and keep your ranged units high DPSA tactical mistake, when you could also use your wizard. Granted, Morathi has one good early spell>>580096537Delf roster consists entirely of Dark Shards as the best missile unit pre sisters in the game>>580096814I kind of hate Nocticulus doing that since it lets Tyrion eat all the good landmarks

>>580096530>>580096673>>580097040On the one hand, keeping your IP in your hands and gatekeeping is based but on the other hand being faggot jews who have no plans on doing anything AND clearly keeping dormant IPs stagnant is retarded.
