They have been constantly tweaking and improving stuff in the base game so I expect the legendary lords will be strong, at least.

>>172842089
They just have colleges of magic n shit.

They'll probably need to think of a new system for wizards in the next expansion because High elves get all the lores of magic as well but having to pick between 8 different wizard heroes would be kind of tedious.

Wood Elves are actually meant to have just as many wizard choices as empire but they left it out for some reason.

Oi I haven't played Empire since before the update

Is Franz still the best LL to pick?

I understand Gelt finally got some decent campaign buffs

So I finally stepped up from normal to hard. I noticed that the enemy armies in battles are too stationary, it would be ok when they use dworfs but even with fucking Vampire Counts they just stand there until I get quite close. A lot of times I can snipe the shit out of them without any form of punishment

Hell I even remember a match against Greenskins, I was like 30 meters from their army yet all they did was sending few troops to slaughter while the others remained in formation

Why?

For what purpose?

>>172842534
Don't listen to >>172842669 only cowards take lightening strike, it makes the game awful.

Take red tree up to rally and then take yellow tree & get all the % buffs.

The health buff is great for Thorgrim cos he's already got an insane amount of hp.

Which skill trees should I specialize in for Karl, Thorgrim, Grombrindal and Vlad, respectively?

Should I bother getting at least enough points in the blue skills to get Lightning Strike? Should I even bother putting any points into Vlad's spells other than the Invocation/Healing spell? Should I max out the blue skill tree for Grombrindal?

Are the Glory unit mods any good?

Pretty much neutral with everyone. Most Tomb Kings dislike vampires though.

>>172845534
Most factions don't have a relationship at all with them, since Nehekhara is a long way off and just a distant myth. The arabyans respect them and stay the fuck away apart from one city where there's some mixing of undead and humans. chaos don't seem to like them (might just be the undead thing) and vampires hate them. Greenskins occasionally go pillaging but there's no enmity beyond the usual.

To you lore buffs out there:

Could Nagash represent a third unique undead faction?

>>172844157
I think they will have a skaven focused trailer when they announce the release date

>>172845189
IIRC female dwarves are too important to be sent into battle, you have to remember that just like elves, dwarves have problems when it comes to reproducing. So women are kept as away from battles as possible because they are too vital

>>172845532
Not often, but they do get paly with skaven often, afterall the delf economy works on slaves and Skaven are always buyin

>>172845731
Ok but he is even less relevant than the Rat. What demons does he have?

>>172845791

Oh hell, no.
If Nagash ever wakes up, it's the End Times all over again.

>>172845935
I'm not that guy, so I have no clue.

It's mostly the dark elves who want to do that.

>>172845785
It really is amazing how a simple smug attitude can make a person want to commit genocide. In this regard, I applaud the elves.

>>172845791
It will only have one new unit of monsters, Manny, Neferata and Arkhan.

>>172845785
Humans were created by the Old Ones too, same as dwarves. But their gods existed and some even walked the earth right? This might be what the elf meant

>>172845758
Id like to see that if Araby comes about they are buddybuddy with tomb kings, ive heard lore snippets where entire communities of the living are protected by the dead, almost like their ancestors are fixated on keeping them safe beyond the grave.

>>172845791
He could be a faction, but if he returns he would squat vamps instantly and could probably take control of the tomb kings so that neither would exist anymore. Possibly he could have access to vampire count, tomb king AND some original units, and then arkhan and neferata could be mortarchs and it makes sense for them to have a mix of both units.

The way I read it, the Elves have two texts which cite two different creators of the world: the Elven pantheon and the Old Ones. However, the High Elves consider both texts to be valid. To reconcile this, the human asserts that the High Elves consider their gods to be Old Ones, or the Old Ones compose their gods.
The elf, being a cocky and smug motherfucker, basically says "lol no" without clarifying some blatant contradictory information.
tl;dr high elves are condescending fucks, nothing more

This is how it works:

TWW3 = End Times

>>172846223
Yeah Ka-Sabar, which was basically the forge city of the tomb kings, has human occupants and the guards are undead and tirelessly patrol the walls while the humans live inside. Also the city is hwere the TK made airships/dirgibles, which hopefully might carry over to AoS since there's a few air based factions coming out. Undead flying egyptians might redeem End Times.

>>172846441
Sure
The engine isn't multithreaded that well and it's bound to be cpu limited given the nature of the game
There are processors with 16 threads available right now that won't destroy your wallet but they wouldn't be more useful than a 4 core processor for total war, and that should probably change if they want to make historically accurate sized battles for some games

>>172846656
Different gods can exist simultaneously, but the Elven records cite two different creators of the world. This is contradictory, so there must be some form of reconciliation. Either one document is false (according to the Elves, this is not the case), or both documents portray the same story with different names for the creator gods. Again, the High Elf just tells the human that the latter is wrong without offering an explanation.

Or there are various forms and aspects of creation.

In the original storm of chaos campaign it was basically a shit show, GW didn't get the result they wanted so they basically put the end result to a vote. People voted that Grimgor kick Archaon's ass, and he kind of did so quite literally.

>>172846930
Grimgor kicked Archaon in the balls so hard his entire army routed and ran for chaos wastes. This is canon.

But that's not how that works. If you say X created the world on its own, and then that Y also created the world on its own, that information is blatantly contradictory given the provided information. This is where an explanation from the Elf would have been handy, but nothing of the like is offered.

But I am. I said that more information would be nice, such as an explanation from the Elf. But, given the current information (the Old Ones created the world on their own, but so did the Elf pantheon because ???), there's a pretty big contradiction. It's not like the Elf says "oh, they both created the world" or "well one had a bigger role than the other." The texts have some flat-out contradictory information, and I'm not sure why you're so stubborn and aggressive about this.

Just to illustrate how retarded the Taal/Shallya thing is for the non-warhammerfags:

Taal is the masculine god of the hunt, the wilderness and male fertility. He's a big bearded dude with antlers and a spear. In fact he's basically just Orion, which isn't a coincidence because a lot of the elven gods correspond to human ones, Mathlann/Manann being the most obvious example.
Rhya is the feminine goddess of the rural, agricultural, female fertility and childbirth. She's depicted as a woman with a sheaf of wheat in one arm and an infant in the other.

For the vast majority of Warhammer's history they have been husband and wife - two sides of the same coin. To the extent that one of the WFRP books mentions that in the distant past they were worshiped as a single nature deity called Ishernos.
The End Times just arbitrarily made Taal's wife into Shallya, goddess of mercy and healing.

Lots of gaps. I'd take a Lord with maxed out IoN, one shadow Vamp, one death Vamp, and one Wight King in every army. At least two GW Grave Guard, between four and six vanilla Grave Guard, at least two Blood Knights, at least one Mortis Engine. Fill the rest with Bats, Varghulfs, Crypt Horrors, whatever you enjoy using the most.

Pretty sure if I fell on my chest while wearing muscleplate I wouldn't smash my own ribs
Unlike boobplate

Shit from Bronze Age?

How do I maintain a decent army without bankrupting myself as the blood suckers?

>>172851158
I'd say separate ones for now, and then when that combined campaign map actually gets released we go with a combined one.

A pretty good player that does a lot of multiplayer videos and streams.

>After holding a city-spanning forcefield up for decades during the Great Catastrophe against a literally neverending tide of Daemons, he got fed up of that and turned the field into a titanic explosion that vapourised a hundred thousand of them. As the daemons promptly pulled another infinite horde out of their asses and kept coming, Kroak proceeded to pull his sleeves up and bring out the titanic apocalypse magic that should really have been reserved for the Old Ones themselves.
>The army book describes it as goddamn time stopping as reality itself struggled to accommodate the tide of bullshit emitting from Kroak's mind, the world around his city folding in on itself to stem the tide of daemons.
>They penetrated his defences regardless, and Kroak was ripped to shreds by no less than a dozen Bloodthirsters. Doesn't matter though, as at this point he's too goddamn powerful to give a shit about being dead, and his unstoppable spirit continues to defy them. He basically becomes the singularity at this point, as the world turns blindingly bright and the daemonic horde pretty much just stops existing altogether.

Jesus fuck, you don't fuck with the frogs.

It's the same concept anon, muscle cuirasses are supposed to look ridiculous in the physical sense, Romans and Greek big shots had them made to look like the classical statues of the gods in their physical perfection. If a woman had gone into battle with such armor it's reasonable to assume there would be big old tiddies bolted on to increase the feminine aspect. (wether any of the artists making these pics know about this at all is another thing)

This has my vote.

First of all, you have to build the goldmine in your capital. That'll keep you afloat for the first 40 turns or so.
Then, focus growth and upgrade your towns. Vampire economy is mainly fueled by towns themselves, so if you can expand somewhere you will rapidly gain dosh momentum. But be careful not to overextend, the whole vampire corruption thing is really punishing when you overextend. Also sack and raze Zhufbar, you don't want them to get confederated by the dorfs and later be used as a staging ground for an invasion.

muscle cuirasses usually consisted of a solid inner breastplate and another layer of outer gilding to look cool, there is no gap on the inside, you pleb

Well if they have to have tits on them they could at least try and make them aesthetically pleasing rather than just ovals that look completely misplaced.

>>172851553
Yes, so I wouldn't crush my own ribs as I fell, just like I said. Thanks for confirming that you agree

To give an example:

Just as over-the-top and ornamental as any example of muscleplate, for the exact same reasons.

Not that this has any bearing on WH40k, which runs on rule of cool alone.

More than two spellcasters per army seems like a bit of a waste, given that they all have to share a WoM pool.
