Just in time for new thread.I had to race against the chorfs for the settlement so i could gift it to them for peace. Do I do east or north?

>>583268792the point of trailers and gameplay previews is to make you buy their game, if you're seeing it it means they thought it was good enough to show people and make them want to buy the game. They won't fix the animations because they know 40ktards are slopeaters and will buy it even if they don't
turns out to win the lustria bowl you need to leave lustria and return when stronger

There's something about fans of these two specific characters that make them come across like they have massive daddy issues and/or are closeted homosexuals. I'm not trying to be mean about this, it just seems like they either don't talk to their dad or they're simply fatherless.
Tombkeks...
Was bro not in range?
>>583270546not fair....
>>583270546bone status: rattled
repoast from the end of the previous thread>>583268909Oh sorry I misread your post I thought you were talking about Dead Rise Again units just going back to full pretty much instantly after a fightVampires get to do that because there were a lot of corpses in the province you were fighting, if they're managing that with high-end units they have bullshit levels of blood on hand. I think that the anti-corruption/plague building should cut down on the number of corpses in a region, and that it should be possible to see the corpse count as non-vampires so you can decide "yeah no i'm never letting them fight there" or not
>>583270546We all know you corner camped btw. You should be ashamed.
>>583270546Arrows should be useless against Skeletons. Basic Fantasy stuff.Bone enemies are resistant to Pierce damage and weak to Crush.
>>583270546>shart elf ranged abuseryou did not beat the tomb kingsyou did not play the game
>>583270546why does this nigga live on the other side of the world from Nehekhara when there are no other Kangz outside of it anywhere else anyway
>>583270827He was exiled by Settra.
>>583270827What part of "exile" do you not understand?
One thing I've noticed about late-game is that I tend to have messed up borders which bite me in the ass. Due to how I play I have a patchwork of non-aggression pacts and alliances that build up whilst conquering. This leaves me with patches in my land of regions controlled by other factions. Since I play on Legendary this inevitably breaks down eventually and often times end-game for me is spent basically fighting inside my core regions whilst holding off factions at my borders as well. In both my Nagash and Thanquol campaign I was busy fighting the Empire and Cathay at my borders whilst simultaneously having to deal with Clan Angrund, Welfs, Aranessa, Ogres, Skaven etc that had territories inside my lands. It's really ineffective and I need to mitigate this in future campaigns. Anyone else who plays on Legendary encounter this problem or do I just suck at map painting?
>>583270546Because of his start position I sometimes forget Khatep is in the game.
>>583270961no but I never use alliances.

>>583271160It's a tie between Repanse and Fay Enchantress.
>>583270827Anon... he was exiled by Settra.
>>583271717How was I supposed to know that?

>>583271443How could they prove which is more gay?
Total War: Big Black BBC
>>583271786His faction is literally named the exiles
>>583271809where are her tits
>>583271864It doesn't say he was exiled by Settra.

>>583271443>>583271810Now I need art of ZE LADY and the Fay Enchantress double teaming Repantsu with strap-ons...
>>583271927we have an iq crisis in this general
>>583272086I'm not reading all of that before I start a campaign. It needs to be condensed.
>>583270827He was kicked out by Settra>Settra doesn't wanna die>Makes the priesthood look into eternal life>This turns the priesthood into the Mortuary Cult>They make good progress on life extension but can't crack eternal life>To placate Settra enough to have him not kill them all, they promise that they will resurrect him with a golden body>Every king after him for N generations across N dynasties makes the cult swear the same promise to them too>Eventually Nagash does Nagash things, gets kicked out, comes back a generation or two later, gets kicked out again, and then casts a spell to kill all of Nehekhara and raise them as slaves>The coolest human EVER & last living Nehekharan, Alcadizaar the Conqueror (his life's story is baller) stops Nagash before he can enslave all of them but not before he raises all of them>Dozens of nepo-baby pharaohs are now fighting over who is actually ruling king of [insert city state here]>The thunderbowl gets so bad that the current head of the Mortuary Cult, Khatep, decides to wake up Settra (the only pyramid Nagash's spell couldn't crack) to put things back in order>Settra sees that he is not in a golden body, and in an extremely rare show of mercy, decides to hear out Khatep and simply banish him on penalty of death until he can return with the secrets of golden immortality like the Cult promised himKhatep has been globetrotting ever since, selling his services to petty kings and lords in his quest to make good on his ancestors' promisesAlso Settra was so assmad at the Cult for this that he taught himself magic so he and his armies wouldn't be reliant on them to stay animate. This isn't something that is normally possible in the setting (you are either born with the witchsight or you aren't), but through sheer force of will he forced himself to become a mediocre wizard of small reknown.
>>583272139like i said a crisis of iq
>>583272139Simple version of the text:Khatep is a very old skeleton priest guy. He is the boss of the dead priests in a place called Khemri.A long time ago a bad guy named Nagash did a big magic spell that killed almost everyone. Then the dead people woke up.Khatep woke up the biggest king skeleton, Settra. Settra got super mad at the priests and kicked Khatep out of the city.Now Khatep walks around the desert looking for magic papers and old stuff. He wants to make the dead kingdom good again like it used to be.The Tomb Kings are the dead mummy kings. They used to have a nice kingdom. Bad magic ruined it. Now they are awake again and they are angry. They want their land back and they will smash anyone who gets in their way.
>>583272268Not an argument.>>583272292Still too much. I'll just play Karl again.
>>583272325Good bit but would have been better if you said Tyrion
hmmmm which one fellas i want to zombiemaxx as queen neffy
>>583272325>whine about not knowing lore>lore is given to you both in-game and here>whine about not being able to readjust play madden
Every dinosaur is ugly and weird lookingBoth stegadon and carnosaur heads are too smallDread saurian should have been a cool thunder lizard sauropod instead
>>583272171>>The coolest human EVER & last living Nehekharan, Alcadizaar the Conqueror (his life's story is baller)Nice to see some recognition for the OG. Even Settra had to admit he was at least as good as himself, and Neferata cries into her pillow every night over not getting to marry him.

So does Archaon finally have access to all Warriors and Daemons of Chaos lords and units? Or do I still have to mod that in?
>>583272601Oh cool they've got the inaccurate-but-cool frilled dilophosaurusesWeird to see expedition sites in Estalia of all places, this mod is gonna have me doing reverse Spanish colonialism
emergencyI need that pic of Giga Gelt holding up a rat
>>583272381Unfeeling dead if you plan to build real armies with unit variety, implacable puppets if you plan to bring only zombies.
Tyrion has the coolest mount.
Malekith has the coolest mount.
How the fuck do you deal with this cunt as Gelt? She's turning everything across the canal into tags: tentacle_pit, vore, monster_girl before I've even wiped out the rebels
>>583273871use the LORE OF METAL
I don't play rats but the Bell is objectively the coolest mount in the game, hearing it toll during battles is awesome
>>583273871You are SUPREME don't forget that.
i mount morathi
Teclis is supposed to be envious of Tyrion's ability to woo women, yet in cutscenes we can see they are the same height? Is this a mistake?
>>583273871Gelt has literal cheat buttons how are you struggling against anything?
when I play undivided WoC I only ever pledge my characters to a god if I can give them the mark of Tzeentch. Mages and generic lords not being able to get a flying mount is annoying as fuck so I never pledge to the other 3
>>583273962Skaven piss me off by having great aesthetics but just a shit looking race attached to them.
>>583274080Exalted Heroes of Nurgle are so good though.
>>583274073>gigachad extrovert vs scarecrow chud introvert
Most lords and heroes should not have any larger mounts than a shitty horse.Also they should be able to dismount in battles.
>>583273962I go for them specifically to make the bell noise when I cast warp lightning Let the bell SCREAM-SCREAM
>>583274273There's a faction for that if you want to be generic horse rider guys there's two actually.
how would /twg/ win over the heart of a dreadlord (female)?
>>583274385I would kill them. Raise them.
>>583270323Malekith has major daddy issues.Vlad on the other hand has none whatsoever.
>>583274590I'm talking about the fans though.
>>583274385>AI dreadfuhard pass
>>583270323Do you mean the fans or the characters? Malekith seems like both
>>583270759Imagine an RPG like damage systemCuttingPiercingBludgeoningFireMagic
I wish CA would halve the hp of all SE.
>>583274206until they get a rot fly mount I shant be using them
>>583274385Reminder that Malus had literally the thing in the picture and he killed her in a tardrage moment
>>583272171Where is Alcadizaar in the current Tomb King story or in the game? Or is he just dead?
>>583273871You go back to Empire
>>583274736Aren't they shit enough for you?A single unit of gunners melts every single SEM in 2 volleys
>>583274945He's perma dead.
>>583274945Permadead.
>>583274075Dechala is like an actual lord compared to N'Kari being a meme chariot, ngl I get his struggle. Thankfully, she's easy to distract while you and your wizards fuck shit up
>>583274073Teclis is a cripple and always drops the spaghetti with elf girls. He needs to slum it up with human women.
>>583273962it's perfecthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sCly_oSsWo
>>583274765Lhunara...
>>583274073Teclis is permanently sick and a nerd, he simply lacks chad aura despite being the twin of Tyrion>>583274084Play Skrolk then
>>583274385With a very sharp knife and some properly placed cuts around the chest.
>>583275210So Tyrin fucks 10s and Teclis has to settle with 5s?
>>583274075maybe you're better than me, you ever think of that
A lot of the lines for the intros are just re-used. I thought they would be unique
>>583274287>>583274084The Coven Throne for Neferata is really high up there too, but I feel like most of the magical chariots/support limo mounts are held back by the fact that the lord is just pumping their fist in the air on top going RAAAAAAAAAHLike, imagine if Hellebron and Tehenhauin were slitting the throats of sacrifices atop their mounts, or Volkmar and chaos cultists were constantly preaching from the popemobile and warshrines during combat. It's criminal that the demons on the warshrines have no animations, it looks so cheap and bad
>>583275498No, Tyrion fucks the elevenerqueen and Teclis has to settle for paid whores (who are probably at least elf 7s though).
>>583274997>>583275003Fuark, F for our king, the only non-nepo baby except Settra perhaps. And maybe Arkhan
>>583274945Soul obliterated by the sword he used to kill Nagash (made out of pure warpstone and delivered to his cell in Nagashizzar by an assassin sent by the Council of 13, it was the only time in history the Skaven were totally united) and he crumbled to dust in the wastelands north of Nehekhara
Fun Fact!There are only four DLC Chaos units locked behind dedication in the Daemonic Glory mechanic, all four require specific dedication to their patron God and are not recruitable as Undivided. These four are:>Skullreapers(Khorne)>Wrathmongers(Khorne)>Champions of Slaanesh(Slaanesh)>Pleasureseekers(Slaanesh)As you can see there is very little reason to go anything other than Undivided, this is because the geniuses at CA, whilst they did give Daniel a decent share of the Chaos support over the years, forgot to include them in his Daemonic Glory system and so any DLC Chaos unit released since the start of Game 3 aside from the four listed are recruitable without reaching any Glory milestones. Presumably the reason this has not been changed is because nobody has played enough DoC to notice.
Is Khorne very auto combat favoured?It always says I lose vs them but in battle i barely lose 100guys
>>583274271Being shy doesn't matter if you're tall
>>583276159Khorne is retarded in actual fights its basically w+m1 the faction.
>>583275498>Teclis settles with 5sElfs are minimum 7s and Teclis simply fumbles anyone, even his students
>>583276159They have strong AR but not strong enough to prevent attrition on their part, I usually have to take blue line and manually fight some battles to stay evergreen as them
>>583276187Elf giga stacies are on another level. Tyrion is a super saiyan chad.
>>583276159AR nuts over heavy armour, same with dwarfs
Why is Ghorst's faction is called "Caravan of Blue Roses"?I don't care about Ghorst in the slightest, but the name is very cool and is seemingly out of nowhere.
>>583276363It's a very grim tale.
>>583276363Because Ghorst is tough as hell
>>583276435and grave?
I am retarded please help. Where do I click to remove the engineer?
>>583276542Actually not that much all things considered
>>583274273sorry liberal, consult the coolness chart
>>583276609Select the purple one probably.
>>583276159I feel like AR loses you more units than you'd lose manually attacking since it doesn't factor in the Khorne heal or your main lord being a broken homunculus incapable of losing combat
>>583276851Tried it. Doesn't work. Maybe it's bugged?
>>583276771Divide the piggy into a piggy and a fucked up evil roided out piggy, and put the pegasus, horse, and normal piggy below the big guy, and we can talkAlso add the shitty mobility scooter mounts below normal dude on foot
>>583274273>Also they should be able to dismount in battles.Lost technology
Guys, I'm already bored
>Click on unit of Skullcrushers>Tell them to dismount>The Juggernaut mounts immediately rampage and kill their own ridersWTF CA?
>>583277738KINOOOOOOOOO
Wow CA hasn't added any new unusual locations since 6.3 and most of them seem to be order faction exclusive. That's gay. We need more and a bunch that are undead and chaos exclusive.
>>583277949I turn off that garbage
>>583277738holy kino. Nu-CA would never.
>>583277949>unusual locationsah yes, the pay thousand of gold or get fucked over mechanics
>>583276771Absolutely notSitting on a dragon while it fights for you is fucking cringe, especially for martial characters like Lokhir If it's someone like Imrik or Rakarth where it's their theme that's fine
>>583278015>>583278282Some of them are good to get. I think they're fun. The problem is most of the really good ones are human/dwarf/elf exclusive.
>>583278494the worst offender is wulfrik imo
>>583277949They need to update some of the old ones as well. Khorne has a really cool one in the Chaos wastes north of Cathay that increase miscast chance for enemy wizards iirc. Only problem is it's only in that province and you will never fight there as Khorne. Should be faction wide.
>>583278567I don't need the game to get even more braindead easy.
>>583278494Vlad is based because even after all these years he's still on foot putting boot to ass.>>583278613It's between Wulfrik and Teclis for me. Wulfrik being a hardened duelist on a mammoth is dumb as fuck and antithetical to his character. But Teclis just getting a random phoenix mount that he's never had really pissed me off. I also hated the changes they made to his items. The sword is supposed to make him viable in melee you retards, not charge his magic
>>583278941DIsmounted Chads rise up
Real niggas never use mounts, wish there was a mod that got rid of all of them and just gave a speedboost to your lords/heroes
>>583276609one of the bottom 2 buttons under tricks
I'm actually having fun as Toddy, mostly because the Empire is such a shitshow nowadays I have bullshit coming in from all sides at all times.
>>583278282>>583278567>Play any non-nurgle faction>Get a nurgle location that gives you a free mortis engine randomly>turn your LL into a free winAmong other things. Alternatively, you could get the purple cult and then get fucked
When will Total War actually invest in music and get a Civ-tier soundtrack?https://youtu.be/kxcRRQegXcA?si=SheoxNd7tLRen4C-
>>583279750Literally never again which is really devastating. Warhammers soundtrack is so bland.
Can't choose Nagash in Realms of Chaos.Wtf.I don't wanna play Immortal Slogpires...
>>583279963They stopped adding shit to the realms of cucks campaign after Throne of Decay
bros... how do I Tomb Kangz? i wanna play as neffy's ugly cousin but I have no idea wth im doing bros...
>>583280097Yuan Bo is in Realm of Chaos though?
>>583280585you should probably check out when Yuan Bo was released in relation to the Tamurkhan DLC cookiedoughbeit.
>>583279963>Realms of Chaos shitters still existholy shit!
Damn Dechala is pretty overpowered, how am I supposed to fight this?
>>583280489>kill silver host>temp ally with dwarves>kill the rats>ally with lizards>kill dwarfs for the book of niggash>get the rest of the books
If you were to become a champion of a chaos god, which one would you rather choose
>>583280983Tell me if you ever find out.
>>583281168khorne for infinite tardrage
>>583280758I just like more smaller and focused campaigns.Not everyone enjoys a messy, unbalanced and overcrowded sandbox, where there isn't even any purpose to campaign. I like it well enough in 2, but in 3 they completely shat the bed with a map.
>>583280674???
>>583281248The only idea I have is distracting Dechala while I kill her units or spell spam, but she's pretty strong against spamming spells because despite having a permanent 35 ward save under the AI she still murders everything
>>583281168>you die when He says. You stop when He says. And He is not one for wordsKhorne all day every day.
>>583281168Slaanesh, like, let's be realistic, I'm not cunning enough to actually thrive under Tzeentch, I don't feel like just losing my mind until I die (Khorne is effectively suicide) and I certainly don't want to become a sentient pile of shit. So I'm just gonna do a ton of cocaine, eat my fill, fuck a daemonette and then either OD in my sleep or try harder the next day.
>>583281403Yuan Bo released earlier, but it was in a DLC containing all 3 lords. Later they separated the 3 in single dlcs as is the norm now.
>>583281403That's because they split the DLC up after the giant melty. Originally the DLC was released August 31, 2023. Time is moving faster and your life is probably half way over by now.
>>583281168Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Khorne mess with their champions all the time. Some of them are downright miserable.Meanwhile, I've never heard of a follower of Nurgle who wasn't happy and fullfilled.So I'd go with Nurgle.
>>583282170>Time is moving faster and your life is probably half way over by now.
>>583282213>Meanwhile, I've never heard of a follower of Nurgle who wasn't happy and fullfilled.You haven't looked very closely. Even TW3 already puts one right in front of you.
>40K eldar are just gonna be wood elf>instead of hugging a tree like TW3 they will work as a hoard factionjust kill me at this point, everything about wood elf race is annoying and never ending game of kiting
>>583282213Fulfilled with maggots and disease, driven insane and nihilistic and wanting to spread decay to everyone. If they do not spread death and decay, they quickly regain the ability to feel all the disease they are inflicted with.
>>583282338Chat is this real.
I started dating my massage therapist. She's more than two decades older than me. LLs for this feel?
>>583282512Malekith
>>583282512Miao
>>583281506She's an infantry blender so try rushing a hero early like priest and shooting at her while she's distracted, you also might need to focus on some of gelts other spells early on instead of gehenna and searing doom. Either transmutation spells, and plague of rust/glittering robe. Honestly searing doom and gehenna are bad against slaanesh anyway since it's fast and low unit count on the units that matter.
>>583282512Yin-Yin!
chances that the elves help me vs chaos?
>>583282908wtf is communism doing in this game
I'm about to get my first chaos invasion endgame, where does Archaon spawn roughly ? Should I just stop all wars and bunker down ? I hate the fact that there are basically no static defenses in this game
>>583282512>>583282604This, she'll nag you when you start seeing other therapists
>>583281506She's not that tanky, you can shoot her to death but it's annoying because she's so fast. Bring a light wizard if you're playing gelt. Failing that just kill everything around her, that's generally the go to for a lord you can't kill.
>>583283010>tranny faction is full of commieswow imagine my shock
anyone finding vampires a tad too overpowered? their heroes can fuck up entire units and not get damaged. anything with isabella in it I just autoresolve
>>583283983they're the latest faction CA has touched so they will be the most OP yes
>>583283983Vampire heroes have always been busted. That's their faction identity, incredibly powerful vampires backed up by tides of trash
>>583282170>and your lifeAnon why did you need to do this>>583282319This is a Nurgle demon though
>>583283983Vampcunts in general have insane lords and mediocre units except for high-tier stuff, which still underperforms relative to their equivalent but does their job well enough to not need 20 heroes a stack to win. You mostly have to find some way to get their main lord isolated then hope army losses can get them a loss, or if it's the case that you're fighting Vlad just make him follow a cav or faster unit around since all he has are two left feet
>>583283983Yup.What pisses me off is that the rework itself is good.But why give everything such busted numbers. Just tone shit down enough not to break basic mechanics, it shouldn't be this hard.Such reworks show that the game is aimed at complete retards, and it's sad that it makes me one of those retards, since I continue playing anyway.
>>583284494Mods will fix it as per usual. We're in for another 10 years of this with 40k
>I want 500 essays on the arcane on my desk by tomorrow morning.>Y-You mean a 500 word essay?>NO.How do you respond? Keep in mind you cannot under any circumstances sound mad.
>>583285132Which mods? Do you have any recommendations?Mods I know of make the situation only worse, like SFO. I don't know how people play it at all.There was Nerfageddon mod back in times of game 2, it kept the whole game together but the dev retired as he couldn't keep up with the amounts of powercreep CA were introducing.
Turn 28, what a quitter.
>>583285508>@grok
>>583285571two turns before the game ends anyways
>Turn Isabella into a lord>She now has more campaign dialogue than Vlad>She even has a line where she does the cat hiss from old vampire movies.
What's the space marine chapter to play if I really like terminator armors?
>>583270268Calm's
just failed a steal-take plan gonna have to slaughter my warlock
>>583285914Any mod that makes Isabella a separate Lord from Vlad?Like, so you can start campaign as Vlad, and she occupies a nearby settlement.
>>583285972Dark Angels have an entire company that is just terminators: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/DeathwingWhile it was easy for me to pick a favorite for chaos (Iron warriors, Thousand sons) with the loyalists I more stumbled into the dark angels.Like bangles lore but don't like combat doctrine of melee focus or the off-color helmetsLike salamander lore but flamethrower is too one noteSmurfs are alright, just too blandIron Hands are too vehicularDangles gimme good armor, a liking of plasma, and I can just ignore the companies that are all bikes or all flyers.

>>583286454Yeah it's annoying.But her voice is very good.I like that she's very nice to me when I select her.
for volkmar should i still be spamming flaggelants or replace my frontline with other guys?
Shambling Vanguard > Unfeeling Dead >>>>> Implacable Puppets (the other two are both good but this one is shit and has no identity, it should be replaced)
>>583285914The fact that they gave I think every character in the Vampire Counts new dialogue except Vlad is fucked up. Either they couldn't be bothered to get his VA to come in or they have something planned for Vlad already and they're holding off on updating him in any way until release. I hope it's the latter, because Vlad getting left out in the rain like this is some bullshit.
thanks for the superchat
>>583285972Major loyalist chapters that have a noted appreciation of terminator armor:>Dark Angels have a whole ass company of them because Dark Angels have more archeotech than every other chapter combined.>Salamanders have a good amount because they're smiths so they tend to have self-made superior gear.>Imperial Fists like to combine melee terminators with ranged devastator squads and play out battles like your typical frontline-backline TW battle.>Raven Guard like them because the teleporters let them do surprise assaults despite being heavily armored.
>>583287103Vlad's VA is also Thorgrim's VA, Azhag's VA, and Wurzzag's VA.So they're either holding something for a later Vlad update or holding for when they give orks/dwarfs some love.
>Little rage born creature. How will you serve me?*Razes his Black Pyramid on turn 6*Don't talk shit if you can't back it up Nagash.
>>583287103I hope they update his nose.I know about the mod that restores his face, but I'm still annoyed by his Lord selection animation.The animation is also old and blurry, they should update it anyway.
With elspeth, if you lose an amethyst unit does it go back to the overall unit pool or have you basically lost >2000 schematics?
>>583287012The three techs are for romero zombies, 28 days later zombies, and generic-2000s-zombie-craze zombies
>>583285508I think Gelt would understand you being a bit mad at him over unreasonable demands like that. He himself was once a young brash wizard who scammed his way to the top
Am i a sucker for suddenly growing a conscience and buying dlc instead of using creamapi like i usually do
>>583287278>Orks and Dwarfs getting yet another overhaul while Dark Elves and Vampirates are left in the WH2 dust
>>583287693say wallahi bro...
>>583287012Agreed>>583287551I think they should replace the Implacable Puppets with Infectious Zombies.There's already lore for Infectious Zombies in WFRP.You could mechanically do it as...>Zombies have a slow decay of -0.2% hp per second>Zombies also have The Hunger>When a nearby infantry unit dies, it raises as temporary zombies that also have this ability but don't have the hunger
What is the Greenskin AI's obsession with wolf riders and pump wagons.Makes fighting them the most tedious shit imaginable.
>>583270323Vlad at best had mommy issues given he was groomed by Neferata
>>583287854You're funding the development of 40K and M3. Stand proud, anon.
>>583287923Pump wagons are pretty good, I don't blame themWolf riders can be ok as long as you realize they're dogs, not light cavalry. Use them exactly the same way you'd use dogs.
>>583276159AR loves buffy heavy armored infantry. Khorne, Dwarves and WoC are it's favorites
>>583287693I don't care what you do with your money.But you absolutely should not feel ashamed from pirating CA's products.They burned tens of millions on a shooter about trannies, abandoned it and continue milking Total War fans, by selling them overpriced mediocre DLCs to this day to compensate.Not to mention the fact that their games are not nearly as good as they used to be anyway. Remember - pirating digital products is not stealing and it does not make you nigger, despite what companies may tell you.
>>583287923As long as I don't get the chain squigs against me again I'm fine. Absolutely cancerous unit to play against
>>583282320Even worseThey will be Wood Elves, a Horde faction, Changeling in particular with schemes on campaign map and bullshit magic and with their Aspects working like Skaven weapon teams and their teleportation being reminiscent of Menace Below (but even worse, since they could just teleport their units onto your ranged ones)Kitting factions like them are always annoying, especially in real time games. In turn based system at least such playstyle often breaks and you can catch up to them and maps are small. But in real time it's always a pain to deal with. This is why horsefuckers in Med2 or Attila or Khergits in M&B or even TSons in SM2 or Eldar in question in DoW are so annoying. They are running away from you so you can't damage them, while they damage you. Can't think of any example where this isn't cancerous to fight against.Basically nothing can be done about it since playstyle is inherently annoying to face. They can nerf them and they will still be annoying to fight. And they are 1 of the 4 factions so they will be a significant part of the game and not some irrelevant Asrai you can pretty much ignore
>>583283069He randomly appears in the map, usually near you. Good luck
>>583281168Nurgle, even if its completely twisted, he's the only Chaos god that actually loves his followers. Also hanging out in the stinky garden once I crash out is by far the best outcome you can get with these gods.
>>583288298Nurgle has no love for his followers. Nurgle loves the suffering of others, the spread of filth, decay and disease. Nurgle fucks over his worshipers on a regular basis, but gaslights them and "gifts" them a numbness to the suffering he inflicts on them as his so-called love.
>>583283983It's one of the most lord/heroes heavy factions. They have busted lords/heroes (good meele, great magic, excellent healing and multiple summons to swarm you) to compensate their slighty below average roster and lack of ranged options. So nuke them in battle to quickly win as their armies will dissolve once they are done
Why the fuck did I get nagash as my end game? I deliberately only ticked chaos and I still got nagash. I was so pumped to fight off the chaos invasion and this shit happens. Thanks for wasting my 60 turns CA.
>>583281168Hashut
>>583288298>he's the only Chaos god that actually loves his followersWhen will this meme die
>>583288130Also if you don't use creamapi and you ever have an internet outage (or epic servers are down again) you can't access your DLC due to CA's bullshit partnership with epic for TWW3.
>>583287103Apparently some features planned for vamps in 9.0 were postponed to 9.1.0 to rush the DLC, like the Manfed unique skill line.
>>583288298He cares about the trillions of bacterias his miserable followers are forced to keep in their rotten bodies to spread. Everything else is just an elaborate Stockholm Syndrome gave>Hehehe now that you are a putrid corpse you needs to love me: not that you have any other option, given that anybody aside nurglites even touching you will either die a horrible death or join or little cult. Welcome to grandpa's family :)
>>583287531you lose the schematics for good. its a neat mechanic. wish the units felt more elite tho, 8 capacity is a bit too much if you research for it
>>583288553>>583288298>>583288836I thought he brainwashed his worshippers, moreso than the others. Like its been noted when they snap out of it.
>>583288427Grandfather is a good guy who just doesn't know how to actually show love anon, unlike Khorne, who has seething contempt and respect, or Slaanesh who just goons all day, or Tzeentch.
>>583287693I buy all the dlc, but that's because I'm not poor and I hate the poor so I can't do anything they'd do otherwise I'd feel like a nigger.
>>583281168>>583288298>>583288534Hashut is indeed the only that actually gives you what you ask for, because he's based and also because stunties are actually just hilariously sadistic cunts that know how to treat demons (Malus has the right idea)
I'm hearing from my sources that Lord of the End Times was such a huge success that they're cancelling 40k to make a Warhammer Definitive Edition followed by Age of Sigmar.
>>583289847sigmar balls lol
>>583288553Every conversation on the internet about the "lore" of warhammer is just garbled wiki summaries transcribed by idiots from random novels/army books. It's all obnoxious "memes." Even though most of it predates the current warhammer Fandom the often used anecdotal style of writing almost seems like it was perfectly made to appeal to idiots.
>>583289270All of the Chaos Gods are horrible monsters. Simple as.
>>583289847yes but they're releasing it as total war warhammer 4 because of the name stigma
tell me more about age of sigmaris it cringe?
where do these 5 fucking dark fortresses for the chaos endgame even spawn? I've walked through basically the whole wastes and I haven't found a single one
I like Malus Darkblade, he's strong and isn't afraid of anyone
>>58328829890% of Nurgle followers exist because he infects them with the most painful and debilitating shit known to man then goes "Join me or die in abject pain and misery". And from there it's straight to making you do it to others.
IT'S UP!!!https://youtu.be/bqJoDj7g9Bw
>>583290316The main things making it cringe are the way GW decided to scrap the unique and interesting setting of Fantasy battle with End Times (and cutting short tons of story arcs with books currently in the work of the setting) and replacing it with something closer in artistic tone and style to 40K, complete with tons of meaningless locations without any real history and maybe one or two important places like Cadia. Also Sigmarines, everyone hated that.
Being a Tzeentch's champion doesn't sound too bad if you just act like you do this all for yourself and refuse to openly worship him.
>>583290576Wow anon you must be the first to think of that.This cannot possibly go wrong.
>>583290576i feel like tzeentchs favorite toys are the ones who think they are beating him
>>583290576getting up to random bullshit all the time would probably amuse him enough not to mutate you into a mindless monstrosity. Getting a bunch of khorne worshipers horny off demonette pheromones so they'd be castrated or some shit like that every once in a while would work.

I can't stop playing the greenskins, they're too much fun and have too much unit variety. >send disposable (but thoughtful and thematic!) army I don't give a shit about across the ocean>chimp out on weakest looking enemy for gold>use this expedition to fund actually important things on the other side of the planet>if they do well then great, establish an actual beachhead to cause more trouble>if they get fucked up then who cares, the enemy I just made is at least 10 turns away from doing anything about it>rinse and repeat because greenskin unit cost can be driven into the dirt>never suffer any consequences for my actions
>>583290858oh yeah my bad for assuming the dark fortresses are dark fortresses thanks CAand thank you anon
>>583291631I really appreciate the BIG numbers they bring in when sacking settlements.Also, which greenskin is your favorite?
>>583291631I think the scrap mechanic and upgrading your units is pretty fun
>>583291631Greenskins are joint with Norsca and Counts for being the only races I have never played, are they actually fun? They seem like they're getting left behind both mechanically and strength-wise
>>583290845>she>>583291304>her
>>583291304>>583291534>>583292008I agree with most of her takes and the draed maw sucks shit
>>583291730No problem, that fucked with me too.Same as the "dragon graveyards are in random locations" lie.
>>583292093I think the dragon graveyard is a bit bugged right now, it always spawns in the same place for me as Nagash
>>583291885Greenskins are fun, you can either retard max with them or have some customization with the scrap system. Each of the lords are pretty fun in their own ways.
>>583292246I noticed the same as Neferata, that's why I suspect it's not bugged, it's just set to spawn in specific spots based on which LL you have.
>>583291885it depends on what kind of habits you have picked up from other races, it does feel legitimately miserable having tons of territory and two armies because your income is in the shitter, takes a little getting used to being in the red forever
>>583269703Are IEE or Old World Classic updated yet?
>>583292374>love having big armies>but hate having income in the redYup, it's Elfing time.
>>583291885>They seem like they're getting left behind both mechanically and strength-wiseSome of their original lords could do with an update (which is the case across WH1 and 2 lords) but the scrap mechanic alone can make your armies incredibly powerful.
>>583291748I like Wurrzag's start the most and it sucks when I play other LLs and savage orcs aren't the default T1 unit. Grom's mechanics are cool and Skarsnik is fun as well. Gorbad is so-so and Grimgor and Azhag are the least interesting. >>583291885The available units at the start of a campaign are a bit basic, but depending on LL you can really make some fun armies out of unusual compositions that shouldn't work on paper but work due to buffs and research. They have such a massive roster that you can basically create armies that are both functional and fun vs any enemy you'll face. One caveat is that you probably want to be comfortable being insanely in the red, economy wise. I think it's exciting to only ever be several turns away from bankruptcy and needing to sack a major city to keep things going but YMMV. That's what the Waaagh button is for, though.
>>583292575IEE yes, Old World no.
>>583292575
>>583291885Greenskins are one of the strongest races simply because double stacks, the fuck you on about. Not to mention their units and insane economy.
>>583292065>her
>>583292575IEE is updated to work, but it disables end game crisis because devastation doesn't work yet.Old World is still ETA unknown.
Lords that giga buff a tier 1 unit make my dick hard
thoughts on Lahmian sisterhood
can't claude fix old world
>>583293073It will make no mistakes.
>>583293073No because the Robieclique hate the proles. Wouldn't surprise me if they strike in solidarity with Venris.
>>583293128thats too good for us....
>Venris too busy sperging out about AI and begging for donations to get on with updating SFO
>>583285571If he dies can the undead endgame still happen?
>>583281168Khorne cause realistically you're just gonna enter infinite tard rage and at that point you don't care anymore. The others mess you up in really, really unpleasant ways. Khorne just makes you a meathead that is hyper aggro all the time.
>>583293379i imagine so, i remember the vermintide and chorf events just spawning new LLs on the spot when they were deleted from the campaign ages ago.
>>583283983fighting undead is an exercise in sniping the leader, because that's where like 80% of the strength of the army is contained
>>583293073I'm sure it could make the necessary database changes for the new stuff, but you'd either have to disabled the new lords, or figure out where you want to place them and how, and who gets displaced as a result, recode their objectives/victory-conditions, and both Vampire Counts and Nagash need their confederation/mortarch mechanics looked at, since you're expected to have far more settlements in Old World than in IE.AND some settlements/locations exist different in Old World (or don't exist at all because they're not in the Old World).>>583293379Yes, Nagash, Archaon, and all skaven LLs magically revive if they're dead before end game.
>>583290763You can't say that I'm wrong though>>583290785>>583290789These aspiring champions get it
>>583283983A lot of people have no idea how to fight undead, but generally speaking they have shit leadership, shit stats for their tier, and the only units to worry about are lords/heroes, who once you snipe them or take them out with flaming weapons, wins the battle instantly.
>>583292256>>583292374>>583292643>>583292683>>583292732Apologies for the mass reply, I just wanted you guys to know that you've convinced me to try them and I will be playing Gorbad because he seems like the most standard Greenskin lord, the others appear to focus on particular parts of the roster so I think Gorbad would be best for trying a bit of everything, maybe Grom too but I dislike Chariots.
>getting ambushed by ratshow do I stop this bros
>>583283983I haven't played them yet so I don't know what they didBut when I fought Ghorst recently he fielded an army with four blood knights even though he didn't have a T4 settlement yet so that seems good
>>583293907Gorbad is fun because he can make you use units you normally wouldn't use. He's also a pretty tame lord compared to broken DLC lords so you don't get an automatic stomp at turn 5+.
>>583291885They’re pretty simple mechanics wise, have some good fun build variety options, and scrap is a unique mechanic allowing for either making a few mega strong stacks of full upgraded scrap boyz or spending the scrap everywhere. The Waagh mechanic is also fun but makes steamrolling after the first few waaghs really easy, the best way to play is extremely aggressively, always declaring war, making few if any friends, running your economy into the dirt, living off of post battle loot and settlement sacking alone, but it can be tough to adjust to that play style if you’re used to ordinary empire building.
>>583293987Walk around Encamped. Slower but safer.
>>583291885you have way more tools at your disposal than you would expect. greenskins look like a pile of violence faction, and that's definitely what they're best at, but they've got the tools to be sneaky (night gobbos), decent archers, outmaneuver the enemy (boar boys & spider riders), and run hit squads (like 2 decently goblin big bosses on spiders will fuck up most generals you toss them up badly). most your units are dirt cheap and low tech, too (they made black orcs available at t3 for some godforsaken reason, shit's scary), and you get wacky stacks from raiding and sacking. right proper funalso spoiled for choice on lords and heroes, with some good beatsticks. not vampire good, mind you, but orc warbosses can club a man's head in pretty well
Which faction is THE best shooting faction?
>>583293907He’s not fully the most standard as a dlc lord due to his “da planz” mechanic but it does actually encourage a wider range of unit variety and he’s the easiest lord to make immersive sense in your headcanon to use the full Greenskin roster. Grom and Skarnisk are gobbo focused, Grimgor only cares about his black orks and everyone just follows him around because he’s a big guy, Azhag I guess would have a standard army, and Wurrzag is Mr. Savage ork.
>>583292898Name 5
>>583288268Great, I'm going to get absolutely fucked since I'm playing Nagash and have nowhere near enough money or unit caps to cover my entire territory

>>583294708half of the reason i've never even so much as looked at herthe other half is that i don't play kislev
>>583294708This shit is why I can never pick her, feels so damn anti-character fantasy.You also can't actually take the teleport back home option because once again, CA MADE THE FUCKING CAMPAIGN DEPEND ON A LANDMARK. JUST LIKE GELT.

>>583294802boar boy big'uns (and the savage variant) are serviceable, and last i checked spider riders are actually pretty good light cav for their price pointtheir artillery is definitely on the weaker side, though. you're supposed to be running THEM down, not the other way around.
>>583294306ElspethIkitMiaoAlarielleChorfsMalakai
>>583294878>>583294708Actually Ostyankya has it easier because unlike Gelt she can actually put down her starting landmark in either Niggarond or in her Kislev starting location. So it's inconvenient to start in Kislev, but it's not impossible. And honestly, she's fun to play. Hags are a mix of missile cav and heavy cav and she can doomstack with hag heroes. The only thing holding me back from playing her is more so that Kislev is fucking cancer to play and you need to confed Praag or else you're going to have no economy for ages, just like Boris but Boris gets OP bears
Nagash should have started in niggashizzar. I hate wiping out settra on turn 10. I want a true grudge match tier battle.
>>583293987Depends on faction. If VC, you can't, have fun.

>>583294306Cathay, then Skaven.
>>583295031Perhaps I'll try to get into the mood for a krumping anon, thank you for the suggestion.
>>583294306Basically a tie between Elspeth, Ikit and Chorfs. Ikit might clinch it because unlike the other two he doesn't have to deal with unit caps and has infinite ammo for Ratlings.

>>583296374Wulfrik being anywhere is fine since his whole deal is WANDERING.Yuan Bo, not so much. Though still not as bad as Wulfhart, whose lore very explicitly says he doesn't want to leave the Empire and he rejected higher nobility titles precisely to avoid being beholden to a count who might send him to fuck off nowhere.

>>583296458>Pic...oh shit, right, I haven't watched the last season of Golden Kamuy in anime. I really should.
>>583296881Not gonna lie, kinda cute.
>>583296835and ostankya can go back to kislev

holy shit, Nigash's campaign sucks ass, lore of undeath sucks ass,
>>583298475Why do you not like the lore
sisters are busted
>>583297516It's a bit different, Yuan Bo can do the Caledor approach of two campaigns at the same time, Ostankya plays it like Gelt where you get either a Naggarond campaign or a Kislev campaign. Ultimately, Yuan Bo's main campaign is in Lustria though where all the compass locations are.
>>583293073Honestly I'm trying to grasp how this claude shit works. I know how desktop claude works, just the miracle worker stuff that's been making the rounds.Have Claude handle your spreadsheets that the db_tables are make sense but halo vehicles in COD or minecraft building in skyrim and I'm left wondering "shidd could you have it bring back naval combat in Troy/Pharaoh/Warhammer?"Probably not but would be neat.
i'm sorry but what in the absolute fuck?
For fair Bretonnia!
>>583298934for the lady!
>>583298547it's shit, lore of death and vampires are better
>>583296835Yuan Bo can't go back though? His victory condition is doing shit in Lustria. Meanwhile Gelt CAN go back to Empire.
>>583298859>but halo vehicles in COD or minecraft building in skyrimthey're running both games at the same time and streaming data between them. so no real useful applications.
>>583298934Put the peasants in their place
>>583299064Yuan Bo's starting province is next to a Sea Lane between Lustria and Cathay, and he can choose to start with a province in Cathay with quite a strong landmark and a very weak vampire neighbor to bully with superior Chinese peasantmanii
>>583298934Alarielle is like a lady of the lake pretender, so the Brets hate her extra. The Lady, who is Isha I believe? Has a high level Wood Elf Larper version and the Everqueen
Faction for this feel?
>>583299456Alberic
>>583299423>The Lady, who is Isha I believe?Lileath. Different goddesses, though both of them like the healer shtick.
Would Karl Franz fuck an elf?
>>583299083That's it?Yeesh what a fucking ripoff. Still novel, but surely INSANELY fucking inefficient.Unrelated question, as nagash if I want an ushabti focused guy what sould the other units be? Not into doomstacks. Guy already has 3 points in the first red buff for foot archers, I figure usahbti frontline with the bowmen shooting since they'll be better able to hit the enemy congregating around the furry sculpts.
>>583299713Pretty sure Karl would fuck anything that was attractive female-shaped.
>>583299713judging by his wife and mistress he likes the dogfaced women, so yes absolutely
>>583299456Markus Wulfhart probably?
>>583299456Bretonnia.Boris (Kislev).Dechala (she doesn't suck but her entire faction mechanic does).
Even after all this time, this is the first review that pops up for Warhammer 3. Will this game ever be free of the Australian's corruption
So how does trading in twwh actually work? Should you really just sign as many trade deals as possible? Or is there any negatives to signing deals where you only import stuff
>>583301148I never accept trade deals because like 90% of the time the faction is gonna declare war on me and 10% of he time it gets destroyed some other way.
Would you be ok with a chance of your lords and heroes defecting to chaos in high chaos corruption areas?
>>583301148>Or is there any negativesyou give the AI money. which doesnt matter.
>>583301309They'd need better ways to to control or combat corruption and also it would still be annoying as fuck.
>>583301309Only if they then start to act and dress appropriately.
Do basically none of the new units have voice acting, or is my game just bugged? None of the Ulfric units or new skaven units seem to have lines, and the new characters don't speak when selected for some reason
>>583301148your reliability gets raped eventually
modders are deranged trannies
>>583301895Didn't this guy harass one of the original developers or something?
>>583301148The only thing you really risk is some factions using trade to gain visionTechnically all factions ignore Fog of War, but until they "see" another faction the way you do, they pretend that faction doesn't exist.So if you're making deals with Azhag, while beating up Wurzzag, and Azhag hasn't "met" wurzzag yet, you get no penalties.If they have "met", then Azhag will start quickly building penalties for your transgressions against an ork.Outside of that, it don't matter.
>>583301595Emil and Boris talk, have you updated the blood god files or verified your game yet?
>>583301595Audio Mixer disables all audio added to the game after June of this year.Mixu's Unlocker also causes a few random bugs at the moment.Apparently the current patch changed a lot of file pathing so more intricate mods are having unforeseen side effects.
>>583301895>Being this protective of his "property">That he doesn't own>That can get C&D'd if he becomes too annoyingglass houses yadda yadda
>>583301895KEK
>>583302270he literally just wants money
>>583302185Do they talk when you click them, or only when you move them? Do the other ulric units talk?>>583302208I don't use Audio Mixer because I'm against the modding cabal.
>>583302403What mods are you running?The only audio issues I have had so far were during the final Nagash battle and when I made a campaign with audiomixer I had to restart the campaign entirely without audiomixer to fix the bugs it caused. I assume other mods are capable of such bugs.
why does this give xp?
I managed to get both vampire crisis at turn 70 and Nagash end game at turn 95 who confederated the crisis factions but it seems like he didnt actually get supercharged, maybe the armies didnt remain or something. Probably should make it so you cant get specific combos like that because theres no way they can make it work right. Not sure but I think it mightve deleted the crisis armies.
>>583285914What is the reason vamps hiss likes cats in warhammer? Is it theirnconnection ghur?
>>583302896sex fighting
>>583302686I'm not asking for help bugfixing, I'm asking for help confirming what units have voices and which are just silent so I can tell if I have a bugWhat about Morghasts? Do they say something when selected? What about the AHW and 2HW Ulric infantry? Do they have voice lines when selected?I run ~140 mods right now.
>>583303014Because old movies did it.Most Warhammer lore questions can be answered with 70s-90s pop culture.
>>583303109Morghasts do make noises yes.The worst I've had with this DLC is sometimes units don't make sounds in the pre battle deployment phase but then make sounds as normal once the battle starts.I'll test with Ulric units tomorrow if someone else doesn't do it first.
>>583302403Emil and Boris both when I click on them and move them, though Emil just says his name or like for Ulric
>>583302449Why was this deleted?
>>583302896Isn't this actually good if you kill all the Slaaneshi?
>>583303451It's offensive to dotheads.
>>583303451idk hth
Does the Masque of Slaanesh suck DICKS?
>>583303906too busy dancing
>>583303906Gee anon I don't fucking know, does Ku'gath SHIT? Does Skulltaker DECAPITATE? Does Changeling get up to SHENANIGANS?
>>583304202FICKLE AND FIE, THIS WIN IS MINE
You know, I just realized the last 3 dlc packs have all had Nurgle in them
>>583294476When I've had that happen to me, just go straight for the chaos fortresses and then hope someone else can autoresolve him
>>583301895Reminder that Venris is friends with ChaosRobie and his clique and so many, many mods may become unusable because they may throw a hissyfit over the average normalfaggot now being able to mod their game. Reminder that this is the same group gatekeeping the tools and methodology necessary to add custom audio.
>>583301895All code will be written by ai this is just autism
>>583305525Most Warhammer games are about Nurgle.
>>583305823Not sure if it is the same group but I believe the Attila map editor was also being gatekept. It's really vile behavior.
>>583297247There's more
cathay 1-2skaven 3-4orks 5-6lizards 7-8jerk off and reroll 9-0
>>583306190
>>583305525Because he's the best god.Khorne mechanics suck dick, pure anti-fun.Tzeentch has no Mortal lord and only one. 'generic' Tzeentch campaign with the other being gimmickslop.Slaanesh is pure MPfag bait, centered on APM rts faggotry.By contrast, Nurgle has thematic and unique mechanics and their roster oozes both puss and soul.
>>583306440>Tzeentch has no Mortal lordBro, your vilitch?
>>583306383Wulfrikbros...
>>583305823>>583306093I've seen a few mods with custom audio, what's being gatekept?
>>583306517Tzeentch nigger, TZEENTCH. Not discount warriors of chaos, TZEENTCH.
>>583306583they dont call her the ice queen for no reason...
normal/hard has gotten boring
>>583306086I can forgive Vermintide 2 for being a sequel but yeah, Darktide being another Nurgle game is criminal.>>583306440I feel like every Nurgle campaign is the same, so
>>583306850Hard/Hard is the default way to go. VH/VH for a challenge.
>>583306850Play VH/H
>>583306976doing this just for the cheevos
Are the map makers at CA retarded?
>>583307281In 3K you can burn and raze forests, and units inside forest will take fire damage. Lost technology I guess
>>583306954It was the decade of Nurgle.Also unfortunately he's the easiest to market since for a while mentioning blood, skulls, and gore in your shooty daemon game was considered 'too extreme'
>>583307281have to make the wood elves viable somehow.
>>583307281its not just the map makers
>>583307281It's a vampire map.
>>583307378Nevermind that it deletes your game from the Chinese market
>>583307375Not lost, it's just Warhammer having too much technical debt, Warhammer 3 is, and bear with me now; a fork, of a fork, of a fork, of a fork, of a fork. It is a fork of WH2 -> WH1 -> Atilla -> Rome 2 -> Shogun 2. You can also plead the case that it goes back even further to Empire but I think going back to Shogun 2 is proof enough.
>>583307281it genuinely drives me insane how like 75% of the battle maps are places no sane general would ever try to have a pitched battle
>>583307281Now imagine being a gunpowder faction
>>583306605The ability to add new audio and be compatible with other modsReplacing stuff is fine, adding new content is the problemThey're also gatekeeping CAIME, the map editor>>583303342>>583303415Thanks, turns out it's one of my mods... no idea which one it could possibly be. Time for testing
>>583307557I thought that was a meme of China just flexing on a few US companies because they don't actually care that much (as long as you keep it away from anything meant to look chinese, which is presumably why we'll never see the Chinese vampires from lore).
>>583307281>NOOO EVERY BATTLE SHOULD BE ON FLAT OPEN TERRAIN FINAL DESTINATION
>>583307870this but unironically
>>583307870Name one real life war fought inside a forest
>>583307870true
>>583307581I remember when TWW3 came out and it was riddled with bugs that were from TWW2's launch, because apparently the fork was from before TWW2 started getting major fix patches.Fun times.I missed TWW2's launch, but heard it was similar.
>>583307958Name one real life war with flying dragons and zombies
>>583307989Basically everything in the Norsca DLC didn't work in TWW2 so they had to delay that one being available for ages.
>>583307281Remember that they nerfed this sovlfvl map because of ninnies.
>>583307958Gombe Chimp War
>>583307684>The ability to add new audio and be compatible with other modsI've seen a couple of modmakers, namely the guy who does "all units are female" and the guy who added the confederate army, make mods specifically for audio compatibility between their own mods.Guessing if they had whatever the secret sauce is they wouldn't need that at all?I remember there being a hooplah a while back about when someone learned how to actually add in custom animations and they tried to keep it secret, but since there's a "beastmen rape female units" mod on the nexus, I kind of doubt that stayed secret very long.
>>583308105Finno-Korean hyperwar
>>583307958Why would you ever encounter WElves outside of Forests?Why would you ever have a vampire battle that isn't either at night or under intense storming conditions because vampire lords can summon thunderstorms to block the sun?When would you ever see Skaven above ground unless it was a trap?>>583308257I fucking loved that map as vampiresNever see it anymore
>Sayl stack had 12 frot wyrms, 6 chimeras, 3 norsca giants and a wurmShittiest battle in this campaign so far
>>583308265They can do it it's just not compatible with other sets of audio modsBasically there's a bunch of batches of audio mods that add new audio and they are all incompatible with each other without special workSo basically the audio mixer is the biggest one, and smaller creators who use content banned from the audio mixer (anything lewd or AI assisted in any form) have to make these shitty extra mods that are incompatible with everythingAsking about this solved my missing voiceline issue, thanks kingIt was the fucking female devotees of slaanesh mod
>>583307870>Use terrain as a feature to encourage players to use strategy involving flanking in forests, using obstacles to their advantage and taking defensive positions on hillsor>Put a big forest in the middle of the map and put obstacles straight in front of the setup zone
>>583308257I can at least pretend that map makes sense as a battlefield
>>583308681>and smaller creators who use content banned from the audio mixer (anything lewd or AI assisted in any form)Holy shit that's actually cancerous behavior.Mod makers who put breaks in their mod to screw over mod makers they don't like, are the kinds of people I honestly hope get DMCA'd. If they're going to be mini-tyrants, they should face the abuses that the various tyrants in the industry use against people.
>>583307594This is a problem across all TW games. Love attacking in E:TW and I start at the bottom of a 70 degree slope blocking all of my cannons.
no faction in the game gets punished as hard as nagash for losing territory, and he has the shittest garrisons in the game to boot
>>583307281>>583307594>>583309338Imagine>When attacking a quick calculation is done>If your army has a faster average speed it shows you two or three different maps that fit the terrain you're in, with one being the 'default', the other one or two having penalties if you 'force the enemy' to them before the battle startsI considered saying it should also happen when you're attacked, but really you should be positioning your armies in clear open fields if you want them, or forests/hills if you want that.
>>583309718I'm really not sure why they chose to make his garrisons so shit.I thought it would be because you'd get access to his full summoning magics when a garrison in a devastated zone is attacked, but no, it seems like they thought you'd just Vampire Counts style, raise a lord and instantly raise a full stack every time you're about to be attacked.Though if you play aggressively enough you should have armies near all of your vulnerable borders to sack/capture/raid as necessary
got the enemy to make a giant blob around Nagash and then spammed Dark Riders on it award
>>583296742Sometimes you just deserve a vassal and don't need a settlement
>>583308681I'm now thinking of the amount of times I've used a lewd mod that broke, and then disabling random mods from "da modding den" crew randomly fixed it despite the fact there should have been no interaction.
Just heard the news. What's this modder drama with Venris lmao
need to make a necropolis to make use of a landmark but its a shit position for a necropolis because you already built one in the next province over award
>>583310432Reddit hates AI
>>583310432Sounds like you didn't actually hear the news then
>>583307870This or it should be a choke point that favors me.
I am thinking about Hoplites and how they refuse to die.
>>583307581It'll be very interesting to see the new engine properly
How do negropolises work?
>>583310783When you have enough Arkhans in the area, the entire area gets BLACKED, this causes the other races to have a melty, and the terrain changes, but it also makes it so all battles you do get your bonus materials for fighting in BLACKED territory or neighboring territories that are about to get BLACKED.

>>583308541frotting with wyrms...
>>583310432Venris wants people to wait for SFO.Chinese slop makers don't want to wait for SFO, so they're making AI generated patches to fix SFO (as well as do other things).Venris doesn't want this so he's adding poison code to SFO, that any mod maker could see and know not to trigger, but AI being stupid thinks it must trigger the poison code due to the way it's designed.Venris has said if slopcoders break the poison pill he'll just move SFO to private, however legally that could kill SFO because he would be paywalling a mod without permission from CA.
Here's some fun facts about primarchs.>Guilliman once got pass out drunk with a squad of Space Wolves, woke up past noon the next day and got scolded by his mom.>Sanguinius had crazy fucking impostor syndrome.>Corvus Corax never liked poetry. Also he was the jokester among the primarchs and everyone's little brother.>Rogal Dorn was actually pretty emotional and sentimental, just extremely autistic and incapable of expressing it and frustrated about it.>Vulkan was actually friendly with the eldar towards the end of the Heresy and worked with Eldrad.>Alpharius is behind you.
>>583311140Seeing that word gives me Vietnam flashbacks
>>583308541I hate chimeras. If they get into an infantry formation they become impossible to deal with due to their insane animations. I always send flying heroes/SEMs to go and kill them as soon as the battle starts.
>>583307281Forests are comfy and the most effective way to deal with doom stacks and large entity spam.
>>583310991Pin down + lovingly handhold until the Tsundere has left the system

>>583312939Modern 40k/HH fans will eat that shit up and beg for more with feces smeared on their mouths. They will not think twice about buying the newest, most OP and expensive named characters to P2W the tabletop game, or paying to have their armies painted for them.

>>583313014that's a lot of greenskins
>>583312675Just ask your agent to put together a mod list and build any compatibility shims for you. No need to directly interface with the Workshop. Consider the social aspect of the Workshop a lost cause. It's more of an agent collaboration space now, rather than the human collaboration space it used to be. Soon we'll have agents camping mods, autofixing anything brought up in comments, but most of the comments won't be from humans but from other agents flagging issues they've found. Mods maintained immediately and indefinitely, for better or worse.
>>583312939Do not talk about Erda.Just pretend she never happened.Let her fade away from collective memory and if GW ever bring her up again for any reason, shame them for it.

Claude, make me a Total War: Warhammer 3 mod where Miao Ying has big naturals and bimbo lips and make no mistakes!
>>583313360No shit. Nobody looks at SFO and thinks it's high art. It's all just number tweaks for shitters who don't know how to play TW. He only cares for those kofi and patreon subs

I want to play Total War but it's 3am...I'm hungry.I'm tired.And I want to wage waaagh.
>>583313710Like Taurox on release?
>>583313790Stop being a lazy git asking fer Gork to do da job fer ya an' just paint it red!
>>583313710>turn 116no thanks.
>>583292820Is Dechala fun?
>release nagash to be the ultimate undead>still no undead elves/dwarves/orcs/skaven/beastmenwhy?
>>583313790Asking AI to give you a shortcut is much more Morkian than Gorkian no?
>>583313790@Tzeentch make Gork hallucinate
>>583314131If you like cavs she's funShe has the best monstrous cavs in the entire game
>>583313953Skaven end game broke for me before the hot fix so I decided to paint the map after I got the map. Really all you need is maads map, movement pyramid nodes and the book that refreshes ms after battles. Then if you don't want to manual every battle with enough books he has 100% unit rez.I know there is more broken stuff in the past but I find it fun thematically how overwhelmingly stupid OP he gets.
>Daniel can still win the End Times!
why no, you cant walk there
>>583314498Nagash could be a good prototype for a daniel rework. Ability to confed other races (for daniel monogod demons) better recross race recruitment and a much larger non-tech tree for wider variety. They won't do anything with daniel but it's neat to think about him becoming nagash 2
Update soon powered by Intel bros!
>>583313953nagash is a 200 turn campaign bud
>>583314498Also, reminder that Belakor exists.
>>583314869Belakor is danny boy but engoodened.
>>583314631what a polite bunch
>>583314731Oh yeah that happened.I managed to get all the gear but I did not enjoy my time, I can't even really remember what it even was.
>>583314131YesSlaanesh is fun, and Dechala as a LL is pretty strong in battle and has better mechanics than Nkari in my opinion
>>583314869Be'lakor was going to be a second DoC lord until CA realised they couldn't actually touch Daniel's code without collapsing the entire game, which is why he's DoC in RoC(implemented alongside Daniel) and WoC in IE(implemented after Daniel).
probably sounds dumb, but does putting in a Garden of Corruption in a Dark Fortress count for the 'control 8 dark fortresses' condition?
>>583314731>Get all the stuff for Daniel>Never play DanielI'd imagine many such cases
Which is the best Order faction? (Please restrict yourself to the 3 main ones.)

Even reddit is bored and tired of Nagash 1v50000 manually-ing and his other armies being dogshit underfunded crapHow did they screw up one of the most hyped lords? Probably THE most hyped up lords in ALL of Warhammer, 40k included.

OOPS SHOULD'VE JUST HAD 200x MORE INCOME ON TURN 1 MY BAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>583315623Belakor is good though, he's just a WoC so he's basically terrible to play
>>583316484WoC got engoodened this patch thoughever
>>583316225>nagash himself is a retarded hobo who's mastery over magic lets him do impossible shit because he just has more summons and more magic and is cooler and more undead than the restI think they nailed Nagash himself though, his faction is pretty decent once you actually get it going but did they ever expect undead units to be good? It's 70% lords and heroes
>>583313124The social aspect of the workshop was always garbage>UPDATE WHEN?>MOD IS BROKEN! [no further information as to what is broken, how, or what specs you're running]>UM CAN YOU ADD [shit nobody wants]
>>583316096This. The Dwarfs' biggest impact on the story is being the Empire's "Greatest Ally"
Surprised he only has a -10 aversion to the liggers, if I wasn't already told he'd be the endgame crisis I'd have allied him just for shits and giggles. TK monsters with dinos are kinda funny
>>583316953Nagash seemingly has -10 aversion against everyone (Atleast as all the factions I've played as so far). Which makes so sense.
>>583313124>Agent, do this for me. Make no mistakes. Remove em-dashes.
No more lords. Just put polish on what's already in the game.
More lords
What's stopping me from telling an AI just to put the Shogun 2 roster in as a custom faction in WH3?
less polish

>>583317621nay, for skaven and empire
>>583317643we quit nefe and start skaven, fren
>>583317462I'd assume some at Sega mr CA employee
>>583315426grand caffe
>>583317723i just did thanquol long victory shut up
When are they adding Sky Elves to WH3?It's the last major elf archetype we're missing.
>>583317875we start again and do it more efficiently, my frendio
I wouldn't hate it if they made the Empire AI more competitive. By the time you get to the Empire as Archaon or whoever, there's barely any Empire left in the Empire. There's undead and Chaos and other kinds of shit in their place.
>>583317672>empireANOTHER ONE?!
>almost 500 hours in warhammer 3>still have 13 factions to play for the first timei only ever played the empire in a pirated warhammer 2, i dont even know the new stuff they have in 3
>>583317915closest you get is deep elves in AoS
>>583318495That's the opposite fucking direction.
>>583318472sry i meant 13 races
>>583315426I love elves (Wood > High > Dark), but Cathay is the most fun to play.
Reading some more WFRP era stuff and I really love the smaller scale. Crazy that WFRP never got a computer game of note.
>>583318472same>250 hours>200 hours are just skaveneehhhhh.... learning new factions is too daunting...>>583318683You have no idea how much I want a CRPG within the WF setting...From Owlcat? I would love it... Too bad all they're doing now is 40kslop...
I want Isabella to "secure my loyalty", if you know what I mean
You ever think Vlad goes out to a battlefield picnic to watch a battle between Empire and Chaos or whatever and sees a totally awesome greatsword guy and things "Damn what a studmissile I want that stud on my team." and then later that night the greatsword guy is just chilling with a beer and a beautiful vampire lady seduces him and the next morning he wakes up undead?
>>583314731There's an alternative present where the Laboratory was used to prepare for a new unit scale "Mega Ultra" which would be twice as big as ultra.
anyone got tips for VH campaign? how the fuck am i supposed to do anything when everyone declares war on me and has 500x more armies than me
ca has forgotten to add a lore of undead winds of magic reduction technology so so the other lores gradually get cheaper and lower cooldown.lore of undeath and vampires however stack and allow you to heal shit through mega damage things wouldnt normally survive
>>583320236Tell me what faction you are playing, please.
>>583320236In my experience get really mad, close the game, re-open the game and grind them to dust then wonder where hours of my life went
>>583320410gor-rok
>>583320236check out who is neutral to you at the start of the game, joining a cpu's war against someone he's just going to kill immediately gets you favorable relations at no cost to you. Some start positions do require you to attack and take over territory immediately to prevent you from having a third and fourth front for the most part there is usually someone who can be your friend and block off other cpu's from talking to you
Sooo I've rewatched Mandalore's review of Warhammer 2 today. After 6 years....And I'm kind of shocked - looks like CA made game 3 based almost exclusively on his suggestions. From future mechanics to reworks - he literally told them what to do and they did it.On one hand, it's cool that the good suggestions were implemented. On the other hand, it really shows how pathetic modern CA are as game designers - they had to use some rando youtuber's review as their blueprint.I doubt they paid him too.This all made me sad for some reason.
>>583320862They have a huge direction and leadership problem, this is just sadly common in a lot of gaming dev companies.That and their tech debt
>>583320629gay
>>583320967Organisational process rot is always worse than tech debt imho.
>>583320862This kills so mujch hype for 40k for meThe content creators will again, control everything about the gamefrom getting previews months early and just doing whatever they likeUnits too strong? NERFEDContent farming 3 months in advanced? VERYCOOLUs retards waiting? NICE
>>583320967Why don't they hire me then.I know how to fix their game.I'll even tell them what to do with Medieval 3 so it's not shit.And I'll do it for far less than they pay to whoever's in charge now.Some faggot probably who never played Total War games older than Rome 2.Or worse.Maybe it's a woman.Would explain a lot though.
>>583321139Funny thing is, one of the main problems in WH3 is that they don't nerf shit enough.Or they nerf wrong shit.Or both.
>>583318683Vermintide is the closest that you're going to get.No one wants to actually play a video game about a malnourished rat catcher, a smooth-brained lumberjack, a middle-aged prostitute and a greasy fortune-teller struggling to fight a single Skaven who they caught pissing in the booze of the local ale house.
>>583320629Just how bad is it? Are you drowning in rats or is the whole lustriabowl fucked
>>583320629Yeah that's a tough start. I'd say Skulltaker is your main problemYou have to play into the Gor-Rok & Lord Kroak special in your main army. Keep that army slim. Then a flex army to put out fires. Most AI factions prefer inaction over action so don't feel like you're going to get crushed simply because you're at war with 5 factions.
>aislinn menacingly sailing 3 stacks along your coast constantly at -100 relationswhat is that guy's problem
>>583322795rats vampires skullnigger even the dark elves bee-lined straight to me
>>583323072He's on thot patrol, watch yourself!
>Mid-game catalyst. The Dawi find an ancient grog barrel buried down south. Now a Dwarfen caravan carries it back to the Everpeak. Every faction has a reason to take the grog, or help defend the grog (hoping the Dwarfs will share?). It's this sort of thing that would bring different factions into a flashpoint, interacting in ways they otherwise would not.
>>583318683It feels like the settings steadily gotten a power climb for some time. Hour of the rat or whatever the old game is called seems quaint and low intensity, but vermintide/warhammer total war and others really up the scale.>>583319220This is more or less what happened to actual grenadiers in the 18th century. Prussian fag king sent his goonsquad to go get tall 6 foot plus guys drunk, then kidnap them and make them sign papers to enlist.>>583318472Why do you stick to the empire? I'd figure you guys would make lateral moves to empire-esque like cathay, high elves, kislev. Not expecting you to play skaven or wood elves but it's weird
>>583323167can men be thots
>>583316953>>583317059Liggers never killed him, unlike the Ratfags
>>583323076I'm assuming this is early campaign so other anon is right, focus skulltakerGorrok is a challenging campaign right in the middle so you're going to be spending a lot of time swatting away lordsIn my experience once you're out you're a powerhouse and you steamroll any survivors who wronged youIs this your first vh campaign because you sure picked one
>>583317672>SkavenThey deserve one, but mainly for base lord mechanics so queek, tretch, and skrolk aren't disgustingly vanilla.>EmpireThey've gotten closer to 4 alreadyWHERE ARE MY DELF REWORKS
loli?
>his faction hasn't had a rework and a later rework of the rework
>>583321010got for hot lizard ass
>>583324453gay perhaps even
Is that what they meant by skaven rework because ikit and thanquol clearly dont need one but the other point is fair
>>583324445Tomb Kangers, Vampirates and Cathay my beloved... Technically Kislev hasn't had much of a major rework
>>583320236Kill themUse the downtime to push and punishKill them again when they come backRepeat until they're goneKeep checking who's friendly and make alliances to ward off everyone constantly attacking you or at least get some back-up/meat shields. Some will still randomly try and it will be very annoying
I don't know how you make undercities a mechanic you actually invest into. It's such a shitty half baked mechanic.Maybe if you go the Thanquol route with his notUndercities and give it another currency since you would almost never, ever use your hard earned CASH on undercities over your settlements
What's the best first 10 turn strat for VH/VH Imrik Campaign? I tried his campaign pre-chorfs and found it difficult and had to lower diff. I imagine it has only gotten harder now.
>>583269703I haven’t played the counts since Warhammer 2 as I was waiting for a rework for this long. Are they fun now? What campaign would be the best to start?
>>583324817Ghorst is still best otherwise try the new shit like neferata or nagash
>>583324817Counts are the most broken faction in WH now>Which oneAny, maybe Neferate because she's new
Sex with Miao Ying (Changeling)
>>583323910it is and i fucking HATE that rats get to ambush you for free pic relatedi loaded and earlier save and went for pestilens so skulltaker is probably going to get hugei think the only way im going to make it is if i ambush cheese
>>583324745Changeling style undercities are worth it
>>583323058>Keep that army slimdoes this mean cheapo units or few units?
>>583324749Rush the chorfs while they still only have shitty gobbos, keep an eye on your units and don't get doomquaked. I like rangers against them with archers.
>>583324749>>583325175Chorfs are fodder for dragon princes, you just have to find a way to deal with blunderbuss without taking huge losses to your dragons and dragon princes
>>583324903>>583324896I kinda wanted to wait on Neferata and play a more basic campaign to get a feel for the overall campaign changes, and then get to hers specifically. I’ve never played Ghorst I think in ages past I’ve played Vlad and Manny.
Why is every grand strategy's AI dogshit but somehow unbeatable at chess?
>>583325960Grand Strategy requires a much larger brain than chess
Can someone explain to me why the HE and Lizaeds were against each other in the Vortex Campaign? Didn't they both just want to stop chaos?
>>583324745Make the player actually rely on it, instead of tacking it on.Remove the ability for Skaven to get insta T5 cities after capture if the city didn't have an undercity there beforehand with appropriate buildings.But that can be said about A LOT of mechanics. CA has added a lot of stuff "just because", not because it compliments or completes the faction.
>>583326328Alarielle feeds her menstrual blood to a chaos godThe lizardmen are not fucking with that witch bullshit
>>583324940Average gorrok experienceDon't feel ashamed for re-doing campaigns or trying again while you learn the ropesYou're in for a forged by fire experience. Don't feel bad, this is a tricky start lord.I'd say stay with it and eventually they'll crack and you'll feel amazing seeing the faction destroyed notification. The campaign wasn't a waste if you feel like restarting. If you had fun battles and cool moments then that's what countsYou've pounded the rats pretty well. Rats are a pain but skulltaker is a problem if he gets rolling. I don't know about vamps since they've had the updateW Kroak as usual. What a frog.
>>583326328Just an excuse for total warLizards would likely just march in and try to take it by force if they felt elves weren't up to it though
>>583326328Lizards thought HEs are now too incompetent to protect the vortex. They were right btw, canon winner of vortex conflict is DEs.
Traffic jam at the pass. No one's moved for like 10 turns so far. Anyone else getting this?
>>583326548DRUCHII DRUCHII DRUCHII.AN ASUR WHORE FOR EVERY KILLER WHO SURVIVES
>>583326509its absolutely criminal that skaven are allowed to retreat after using the tunnel stance
>>583326602lmao
>>583326908>Beat army>They run to the hills or just out of reach every turn>Fully recruit so you have to fight them againActually makes me mad. I hate rogue armies.
Who would you play in Total War: Warhammer: Dynasty Warriors Mode?
>>583327481grimgor, franz, morathi
>>583327834I guess mounts would make it a bit weird now that I think about it. Would you just be airstriking high value targets as Karl?
>>583328775yeah probably with a bunch of hand gunners behind me. doesnt his sword do a magic nuke too?
>>583328905his SWORD? Okay, you've just made a LOT of enemies on /twg/ haha
total warsword 3
Oh shit did I fuck up? I was able to confederate my electors, which were only two by the time I was able to do it, Middenland and Wissenland. I can't do a casus belli machination. I didn't pay attention to that objective since I was caught up being in a total war the whole game.
>>583329163Dang I forgot the pic.
>>583329227What would Legend do?
Just a heads up: If you like playing multiplayer (or are thinking about starting it) and see your opponent picked Skaven, just do a favor to your mental health and leave the match until you get a balanced faction to play against.Everyone is now using the same "strategy": Stormfiends (Ror and normal) and Skreech Verminking. If youre lucky, your opponent will pick the other verminking with the net, which is not op by itself, but will make it impossible to kill the stormfiends. There is currently no appropriate counter for it; it is impossible to kill Skreech. And I mean impossible, no shooting or melee will do it (there are videos of him being shot by 10+ cannons for minutes before dying). If he ever, by a miracle, gets to a spot where he is in danger, he will just teleport. You are simply forced to ignore him (good look if youre not undead, cause he will terror rout everyone).But lets say you CAN ignore Skreech. Well, then you will just have to face the rest of the OP shooting that CA refuses to balance so as not to upset the "power fantasy means having OP units!" playerbase. And I can assure you you cannot ignore them. They will melt all your army and take ages to die by shooting or cav charges. Lets say you are, for a miracle, getting close to them: your cav will be focused shot and lose 30% of their speed. Why not, right? The speed debuff wont matter a lot anyway, cause they will die in a couple of seconds. If they do get charged by cav, they just run away to Skreech powercreepking, who will kill everyone very quickly. All 3 Skaven players "strategy" that I played against was just spamming stormfiends and babysitting them with skreech until they melt all your army away.Very, very fun! But I guess "multiplayer can rot", as another redditor commented on a post here the other day.
>>583329323Who?
>>583329381Skaven have never been fun to fight against.
>>583329381>multiplayer "community">no multiplayer community consensus balance patchstrange group, being so beholden to CA's whims.
>>583328952i-i'm sorry Empire GODS
>>583329381Shrimple, flood them with my 15 dark elf and chorf armies and then let them die because Skaven player economy is actually balanced unlike the superior economy of Delfs and Chorfs
>>583329702that reddit post looks like its about quick battle or whatever its called
that was funny, 4 consecutive battles vs 2 stacks each. Bretons were really just sitting there waiting for anything to happen before i showed up
>>583329381So what you're saying is they need to nerf single player into the ground and make everything useless?
Bread roll. River troll. Dwarfen hold. Common cold. Mannfred's bald. Loeun's fauld. Sea salt. Hero exalt!
Good morning twgI made a new total war fren yesterdayI think I wanna play my VampFu campaign todayFor Grand Cathay
Are there any good Asrai campaign rework mods?
>>583330374Where does /twg/ fall in the blue eyes vs green eyes debate
>>583330486How is that a debate? Blue is the rare good looking thing and green is just whatever
>>583330486the better debate.
>>583330579Next
Only one fucker left. The black pyramid is getting close, if I can get this fucker before then I think I'll be alright.
Is there any faction where their gimmick is increasing entities count per unit via research or upgrade? Doesn't have to be in Warhammer 3.
>>583329381Skaven are supposed to be the best
>>583332756I don't understand CA and GW's skaven wankery. It's fucking stupid, evil mutant rat people shouldn't be as OP as they are compared to men.>"Oh they have fucking nukes, gatling guns, and rockets and they're so OP and awesome but they're also backstabby which is the only reason they won't take over the entire planet in OG Warhammer and in Sigmar because they're there, too with even better stuff than before."I fucking hate this shit.
>>583332920No Skaven in 40k bro... Trust the plan...
>>583329381nice reddit post, Born_Ad8702
vampire counts lost bigly, unit caps for shit units that also cost upkeep?
>>583332920they are also extremely good at magic and somehow outnumber every other faction subsisting only through somehow sustainable rampant cannibalism and stealing from places like the empire which are already famine stricken shitholesthey dont even get the bullshit chaos wastes time dilation explanation for how the barren tundra supports 10 trillion 8 feet tall roided chaos warriors somehow
>>583333020If skaven end up in 40k I swear to god I'm mailing GW my shit in a box and melting every model I own.
>>583333814lol just showed up in my recommended uploaded todayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onoGreJcqaA
>>583333814You'll be fine, they're already represented thematically with the guard or the jeanboys. We're not getting space rats
>>583270069Need missing lores of magic and city guard, at least.
Whatever has the most bullshit op ranged units will be my wh40k factionfu
>>583333928All the comments are in favor of it. 40k is lost.
>>583334298Tau fanboys are almost as bad as ratfags. Play Guard or Admech if you want big guns.
>>583334314yeah its fuckin over buddy
>>583334373Are Tau cute?
>>583334373>play the faggot humansLol, lamau
>>583334373I will play as... hmmm... as Imperial Knights! haha. Wait! No. I'll play as Chaos Knights!!
Is there a mod that lets me press a button to make the enemy actually fight me...?This is fucking stupid.
>>583334414quite the opposite
>>583334490yeah its called clicking on the enemy
>>583327075the rogue armies went crazy for me after archaon end times got fucked
It's getting close.
>>583329381Good, mp is for fags and skaven should be broken and op
>>583334671Those MP losers can't even handle stormfiends, they are so fucking pathetic.
>>583330007They could make him part of the extended roster like the nurgle heroes. Was gonna say coeddill but they seem to have taken him off the extended roster from the look of it.The mpfags mustn't have discovered that yet because coeddil is op and can solo any LL.
>>583334847ranged stormfiends beat their counters that cost more than themthey WILL be nerfed
>>583334490>play khorne>don't bumrush the enemy the moment you load into the mapi think the empire is more you speed little man
storm fiends do less damage than menace below uses when I fight them in sp, what the fuck is happening, are they sending slow chaff to waddle up to them????
>>583335245you're playing against the ai
What's the best beastmannii experience? Taurox is apparently very overpowered, so I dont wanna play him.
>>583335332as soon as you touch them with a blob, they do literally nothing??????????????????
>fightin settra with nagash, our fated showdown of 2 crapstacks on turn like 4>beating him handily>he spends his last breath as him army routs to summon ushabti under my mortars and rape themeven in death I hate you
45 hours of WH3 since the DLC came out... I should play less...
>>583335354they're a mix of skaven and khorne methinks
>>583335119>he is too retarded to shoot the huge fucking ogres dead
>>583335354They're all somewhat overpowered since they have less constraints than most other factions. Morghur is a Mortis Engine, so you aren't allowed to play him around here. Malagor is a small flying object, which makes him funny but we will accuse you of using him to drain ammo from enemy armies. Khazrak is the standard. I think Malagor's start is the hardest on campaign. It's the same old same old experience. Fight, win, bait army + ambush for pulling armies out of garrisons, dread up get minotaurs win game.
Why can't I recruit regiments of renown?>>583335182I usually do that but those two armies had way too many flanking units.
>>583335354malagor is silly
>>583335581KHORNE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BEING FLANKEDRAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
>>583335354If taurox can still chain an infinite turn yeah hes the strongest lord
>>583335581>why can't I recruit units when not in my territory? What is this black magic fuckery??What a mystery... ooohhhh
>>583334373Bullshit. Tau fans barely exist in public because it's just unending screeching about them because god forbid aliens be able to outshoot humans.>>583334414Ugly as shit unless you go with coomer art.
I know a lot of people hated the Beastmen campaign before the rework but I loved it. It was pure Vietnamese gorilla warfare until you finally crossed a breakpoint where you could hardroll real armies. Considering the Beastie Boyz are the designated jobber faction of Warhammer Fantasy, it felt appropriate.
Operation Araby Storm is off to a good start.

>>583335847ca loves taking unique but flawed campaigns and turning them into faceroll borefests devoid of any actual decisionsbut you can't really blame them when the average player thinks strong = good campaign and hard = shit campaign that needs to be reworked
>>583335706Ooh that's why, it's been a while since I played. Razing shit kept me from recruiting those.SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
last thread I asked about malakai's campaign and how I can stop getting attacked on all fronts.So the consensus is to just sack everything and build up kraka drak with deeps? Will I need a second army or is a malakai gyrocopter doomstack fine?Are pure missile infantry armies with dwarfs a thing like they are with Elspeth?
>>583335996I miss WH2 Norsca...
>>583336053Both are yes. Imo my preference is migrate out of that area instead and go towards the mountains on the south take on azhag first
>>583336030Don't worry, you aren't the first autist who tried to recruit RoR in foreign territory. I once tried myself like a dumb.Those 20k better be making 3 new bloodhosts!
