Total War: Warhammer - Call of the Beastmen

I thought they were releasing new armies in three army expansions? Is the an exception, or are they just doing something different now?

We've got the Total Warhammer Trilogy, which expands the campaign map, but we're also getting free content updates and DLC within those to fill out the details.

http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Total_War:_WARHAMMER_Future_Content_Blog

>We’re planning full game follow-ups, DLC content packs and Free-LC to follow the main release. These will include new playable Lords, units, races and more. We’ll talk about these in time, but for now, our focus is on crafting a deep, rich and content-heavy main game.

>Future instalments of the trilogy will expand the world-map, bringing unique new terrain and introducing new playable Lords and their races. We’re planning these to be massive standalone follow-ups to the main game (like ATTILA to ROME II). You’ll be able to get just these and play them on their own if you like or, if you have the main game too, you’ll eventually be able to play across an expanded campaign map that includes all available areas of the Old World.

>>48263826
No, a Russian leak of the game files shown that the two additional games are map expansions with their own unique areas. It seems that the second game will have Lizardmen, High Elves and Dark Elves with naval battles. The third game will have Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh along the Daemons of Chaos.

The other races will be single player expansions in dlc with free dlc alongside each one (except Bretonnia, they will be a free faction).

For the first game, it will be Beastmen, Wood Elves and Bretonnia and maybe Skaven.

>>48263763
That looked strangely unpolished.

>>48263966
They insist on making all of their trailers within the engine of their RTS game, that's why.

>>48263883
That better not be the final map

It's cutting out all the southlands, most of lustria and half the tomb king cities

>>48263920
What about the tomb kings and ogre kingdoms?

>>48263982
Yeah, but even then the Karl Franz, the Orcs and the Chaos ones were a lot more polished than this. It's like they also set details to medium or laid off some post-production.
They always put the "work in progress" disclaimer, but this one actually looks like a WIP. Like not everything has been rendered properly yet.
But seeing as this is an unlisted vid apparently it may be true.

>>48264043
That's the final map of the current vanilla game.

>>48264043
The southlands and most of lustria is empty and useless, as far as I can see all of the Tomb Kings is there though.

>>48264049
DLC somewhere down the line. All armies that had 8th edition rulebooks will be in the game.

>>48263966

Can't say I agree, thought it looked pretty damn cool.

I just find it a shame that the game doesn't play anything like how the trailer shows. I'd like abit more variety in the battle types. Straight up pitched battles got abit boring after awhile.

>>48264049
They will be dlc but which game they will end up in is unknown but I predict it will be the second game. Don't worry though, everyone will make it in (even Chaos Dwarfs).

>>48264106
Chaos dorfs are likely gonna be in the same thing as the ogres. They both live in roughly the same area I think
Oh, and BRETTONIA WHEN?

>>48264096
>All armies that had 8th edition rulebooks will be in the game.
Beastmen never had an 8th ed book.

>>48264081
Honestly it looks a bit like Rasetra and Ka Sabar are cut off and those two cities were important just because they are in constant war with the southlands lizardmen

So putting them in without southlands sucks and so does giving tomb kings the ultimate corner camp that surpasses the shit Orcs have right now

>>48264121
Bretonnia will be free and in the first game. Have to wait for it though but the expanded roster and campaign playability will be kickass.

This game in my opinion is truly Warhammer Fantasy 9th edition.

>>48264121
Brettonia is already like 95% done - some mods have already made it playable just by changing a couple variables in the game's code. It will be released as free content sometime after the beastmen expansion, most likely.

>Warriors of Chaos were a preorder DLC
I will neither forget nor forgive.
I'm keeping my money.

>Alongside the Call of the Beastmen Campaign Pack, another free content update will introduce a brand new Lore of Magic and an accompanying Hero unit for The Empire. Perhaps the most rarely seen of all Wizards, the solitary Amber Wizards are no less powerful than their more prevalent counterparts. Wielding the deadly Lore of Beasts they are able to perform unique feats of magical power, from enchanting their allies with impenetrable pelts to summoning a manticore from the bowels of the earth.

>You can still buy them. And they extended it so anyone who bought the game within the first week got 'em for free.
Yeah, they did that because of the shit storm locking them as preorder DLC as they initially announced had caused.
I'd rather buy games when they're complete. Fuck the cut-out preorder culture.

>>48264337
They were literally never locked as pre-order only dlc, get your head out of your ass and learn the difference between pre-order bonus and pre-order dlc

Plus they literally had to hire an extra full dev team to get chaos in for the pre-order because so many people were demanding it in before the dlc announcement trailer

I like where this game is going

7 armies in, 9 to go

>>48264043
The colored in part is the current map but it's possible the rest will get filled in with the DLCs to make room for the rest of the armies they plan on adding.

That was fucking awesome.

That Imperial soldier was so badass. A shame what happened to him...

Part of the issue with LPing is that you have to dedicate part of your focus to entertaining.
Though some youtubers do just AGRESSIVELY suck at games and also entertaining. Most of the popular ones fall under this category

They could at least get some basic mechanics down, try out all the moves. Maybe try pushing all the buttons.

It is going to be a while. So far they have followed this order. The next free update will have a VC legendary lord.

>>48266176
They gonna give us three legendary lords for each faction? I'd like to see skarsnik playable

>>48266266
I think the 3 LL is for the DLC factions, since CA has said they aren't all the comfortable making DLC for their DLC. Their blog about DLC says they will be releasing lord packs, which gives you two new LL, a new unit for the faction, and a unit of renown(IE specific knightly orders).

>>48266322
Hm. shame. Chaos already has thre Legendary lords to play with and It's kinda a dull faction

I watched some asshat play the new Doom and he cleared a horde of zombies meant as a test-fire once you get the BFG with the goddamn pistol.

>>48266357
One of their employees, Darren, streams some. He is a source of a lot of leaks, but he is currently working on the historical title. He still does some work on TWW(he was the one that leaked it will be beastmen because he didn't rename a photo before he posted it to facebook). He said that CA is really confused about DLC right now. During Atilla, they got a lot of flak over releasing DLC so soon after release, but they are getting a lot of flak over waiting. So who knows what they will actually do in the future.

>>48266449

>>48266591
That's the main issue. It's hard as fuck to start up a second horde and if your main one gets offed, you're FUCKED. And it takes FOREVER to fucking get a new horde off the ground. AND it's a pain to trade units cause your armies suffer unremovable attrition when near each other (Which also means no reinforcements)

>>48266577
Shortly before Age of Sigmar stops production

>>48265594
Oh, I thought you meant the OP pic.

Whoops.

>>48267066
It is possible to get reinforcements, but you really need to think a few turns ahead to minimize the time hordes spend next to each other. The general ability that reduces attrition helps.

Horde growth is a bitch, though the real problem is recovery. You're pretty much forced to merge units and buy new ones after every battle if you want a full stack, since the only way to get any decent recovery as Chaos is to camp awakened territory in the north.

>>48264053
If you actually look hard enough, you'll find two videos of the Vampire Counts trailer floating around on youtube, the official one, and a early linked one, and the quality difference is quite notable, so there's a good chance tomorrow when the actual trailer is, you'll see some improvements.

Though personally I really liked the trailer, only bad part was the close up of the Empire generals face showing how his beard was one solid mass and how off that looked.

Even with mods that slow down the game pace, I can't get a battle to last more than about 10 minutes.

>>48265227
What are mods?

>>48265263
Both

They are a mutant race born due to chaos fucking shit up, they live in forest, fight to destroy civilizations, spread anarchy and shit up things.

>>48265013
They do. Some chieftains and shamans can speak the Dark tongue though.

>>48265675
someday fellow mummybro

Someday

>>48263763
Beastmen eh? I might have to play this game now.

>>48268278
Even with a mod doubling recovery and letting you encamp after a full move (But not a forced march) it's STILL sometimes better to just merge units and buy new ones.

>>48265013
>>48270842
Beastmen speak Beast-Tongue and the Dark Tongue though generally only the more elite can speak Dark Tongue clearly.

>>48264187

You'd need to have some sort of army painter function to truly allow you to play as your dudes.

How are Brets in TW:Warhammer? Do they flatten anything they charge at?

>>48276523
Not really? I mean they're good at some things but I think even grail knights are only the second best cavalry (Even with some buffs from Cetaph's closer tot tabletop they seem to lose against and generally be cheaper than the new Blood Dragon cav, though I absolutely SUCK at shock cavalry.)

If you play it straight and charge into everything you face, they're great.

>>48276523
They have the best cavalry bar demigryphs, but lack options - it's all knights and the infantry options are all lacking. They aren't so good at taking walled cities for this reason, and I hope CA adds something to address this when they make the faction playable.

>>48278923

It's called hope and optimism, Anon. Not that you'd know what that is, what with you being dead inside and all.

>>48287160

Nah, it's not hope and optimism, just delusion.

AoS isn't doing as bad as some would like to believe considering the recent Sylvaneth models sold out and I believe the Ironjawz experienced something similar before them. I doubt it's simply because they didn't print many either.

Seems like Total Warhammer wasn't that great for model sales either considering that GW dropped trying to sell people models from the game after all of around two weeks. Though I suppose people will try to claim that if they had the original names they'd magically sell better.

>>48287259
It might just be that the models they're showing don't fit their new catalog either.

Hard to sell AoS minis in a game that isn't showing off AoS.

>>48287259
>Nah, it's not hope and optimism, just delusion.

See, this is why you are dead inside.

If we were on a sinking ship and someone was saying 'A boat will come and save us' and you're going around saying 'Nope. We are all going to drown. Or, if you're lucky, freeze to death.' then you are clearly already dead inside.

>>48287259
It might just be that they do research on the the very expensive game they're considering buying into and just see people shitting on it all over the entire internet.

>>48287259
>you brought the game, now discover the miniatures!
>Karl franz on a deathclaw is mcgeneric spessmahreen on a GRIPHONE(tm)

>>48287281
>>48287315

I wasn't talking about the game selling models for AoS, I was talking about how Total Warhammer was supposedly going to draw tons of people in and single-handedly revive Fantasy. Guess that didn't happen because, surprise surprise, they already paid $60 for a better version of Fantasy.

>>48287288

You're under the assumption that I really give a damn about Fantasy coming back, I don't. I don't necessarily care about AoS surviving either, but I will point at when it isn't realistic.

It's honestly even really hard to feel bad for the Fantasy people since for every one person that shares a story you can empathize with, there are five others online still showing themselves to be salty as fuck a year later and seemingly trying to sustain themselves on being critical of AoS in piss poor ways instead of devoting that time to something more productive or enjoyable.

>>48287624
>Guess that didn't happen because
Because there was no Warhammer Fantasy model range to buy? The very few models advertised alongside the game (Freeguild General or whatever they called Karl Franz) sold out and were 'technically' Age of Sigmar models anyway so their sale got lumped in with that.

>>48287655

The Empire range barely got touched, the only thing missing being the Reiksguard and the special characters which couldn't be turned into generics.

Dwarfs again were for the most part untouched, losing a few more units than the Empire and their special characters.

Vampire Counts lost nothing

Orcs and Goblins don't appear to have lost much off the top of my head, mostly special characters.

Warriors of Chaos is pretty much intact, losing the Forsaken and maybe some special characters.

If someone wanted to build a Fantasy army for any of those races the parts are all very much there, just split up over AoS factions.

That they'd possibly be lumped under AoS sales doesn't really matter and actually ignores that GW selected at least nine models to be tagged with the Total Warhammer line. If thise specific set of products sold in great numbers than I'm sure someone at GW would have taken notice and not merely filed it under AoS.

As I've stated, according to various proponents Total Warhammer was supposedly going to bring droves of people to Fantasy and make GW regret scrapping it. From the results it doesn't look like that happened at all. Yeah, Fantasy technically being dead probably played a part, but there are still people playing 8th Edition, 9th Edition, KoW, and other spinoffs.

Basically it boils down to the fact that Fantasy as is was a bloated beast that was never going to attract new players when it felt and looked like you had to make a commitment and couldn't just dabble. Total Warhammer further made the game unappealing with its convenience. For $60 you've already gotten four or five armies of untold size with the models all prettied up and mods available to change them, gameplay equal to or better than what the tabletop offered, and the ability to play multiplayer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No game store, game club, game table, terrain, etc, required.

>>48287774
I google Warhammer Fantasy what do I see? A dead setting and something called Age of Sigmar. Nothing has the names I'm familiar with, nothing is like the game I just played.

I shrug, I give up, I go back to the game.

The fact is GW only marketed about five specific models alongside the game, and they weren't advertised under the in-game names. That's going to have an effect on curious people. Even if these models do sell, they are part of the Age of Sigmar range under GWs definition, and their sales will be gathered into that and called 'Sales for Age of Sigmar', not Warhammer Fantasy.

You are being disingenuous.

>The fact is GW only marketed about five specific models alongside the game

Nine actually.

>Azhag
>Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon
>Arachnarok Spider
>Karl Franz
>Luminark of Hysh
>Gyrocopter
>Varghulf
>Kemmler
>Mannfred

Of course about half of those had different names, but considering that the in game models were largely based on the actual models, a smart person should be able to put 2 and 2 together.

>You are being disingenuous.

Why? Because I'm giving decent evidence that Total Warhammer was a failure in reviving Fantasy as a miniature game?

That was the last great hope for many and by now they've probably accepted that they're stuck with 8th, one of the fan editions or KoW, and Total Warhammer and its sequels.

I byilt an entire army of zombies and used it as the primary army in an assulat oncan imperial castle. No seige towers or rams. Just zombies. Had them scale the walls and distract the actual attacking army as they took out agate and my vargiests picked the powerful units of the wall.
But the fact that i got to send over 2000 mindless zombies at there walls was quite satisfying.

You forgot livestock undergoing the skin-change as well.

That was one of the spookier parts of the lore, when the animals would start going all animal-farm and then the "accidents" would start,. before long they'd be feeding on their dead owner to become men-like.

Mortals give themselves to Chaos.
Beastmen are the children of Chaos.
They actually have a much deeper understanding of Chaos than most mortal followers. They are not as easily awarded as mortals, as they have now free soul to wager with, but they can still earn the favour of the goods. They are alot more likely to go undivided though.

Is there any truth to the raping herds? Or is it a 1d4chan meme

>>48290323
no.
The three canon ways for beastman reproduction are:
1) The normal way, just with beastmen
2) Being mutated in one way or another
3) Mutant birth from human parents.

>>48290323
Its alway been somewhat implied that raping occurs.
It has been downplayed in the last two editions.

>>48290323

I'm sure it happens, but they generally prefer to eat people.

The more Slaanesh oriented herds definitely do rape and organize crazy orgies though.

>>48283032
>>48283156
Occasionally they do that, there is a story in the armybook that ends with a Damsel dragged off into the woods and a fate best left unsaid. It is not that common though, sparing use and it happening to powerful individuals instead of all random peasants has more impact.

Hello /tg/, I came from /v/ just to ask one very important question, where are the waifus?

Besides vampire chan there is a huge lack of qt´s in the Warhammer setting, it kinda looks like a saucefest. Also the Bretonnia dansel are a huge disappointment

>>48290386
This.

Beasts are about destruction, ruination, corruption an despoiling all.

All that is made, be it society, structures or anything, all must be destroyed.

They could reproduce with humans but that would be expected of them, instead they'll do it to one a girl and let her be found and brought toa safe city or castle, only to have the fetus tear its way out and slaughter the kindly family, unbar the gates and let his kin inside.

Yeah GW is so fucking sexist, they erradicate armies because they prefer to be mysogynist more than making money. Or maybe but just maybe, they didn't fucking sell and that's why.

No, you do. I certainly don't. If I want to see hot women I'd look at my girlfriend or watch porn. Not every fantasy setting has to have hot girls. And GoT owes its success to muh feminism in the meantime, before it owed its success to muh political intrigue and storyline.

>>48290759

I am sure they sold over 2 million models, friendo. What's the frame of reference, how many warhammers they sold?...oh wait, you are retarded. :^)

It's funny how you can't have a coherent argument: You argued that GW is ' a tiny niche hobby' which it is clearly not measured by the number of their customers. It doesn't have to beat the sales of the most popular video games to be more than a tiny niche hobby. The franchise sells well to the mainstream audience in its current form already. Dawn of War sure as hell didn't need 'some waifus' to appeal.

Warhammer is a sausagefest, being about war and all that it's easier to find husbandos than waifus as the characteristics for the first intersect better with the setting than the second's; crazy warlike waifus are not as good as crazy warlike husbandos, but if you're into that the dark elves offer morathi and hellebrone, the trees drycha and other dryads, chaos has daemonettes and Valkya.

Anyway, we could have the Tzarina, Elspeth, the few good elves (alarielle, the sisters of twilight and random rank and file anons), undead still have to offer khalida, Isabella and Neferata.

But in the end the waifus (or daughterus) will come from where you don't expect them

In warhammer's not-India there are some Beastmen who are tiger men rather than goat men who can apparently be reasoned with and are as likely to defend villages as they are to sack them. Of course, being that Ind is known as 'The land of a thousand gods', the not-Indians might worship Chaos a bit like the not-Chinese worship Tzeentch/unreliable narrator

>>48291042

A lot of trigering going on here, you gotta work on your disguise.

>>48291193

Humans generally don't use women in wars so it makes sense for Empire to not have many girl heroes. Southern nations do have shitloads of priestesses though since the Christianity equivalent in Warhammer is a religion with a goddess and mainly female clergy. And Empire has Sisters of Sigmar just to name the few.

Wizards should definitely have female models though. Just like there should be female vampire lords. And male vampires.

Player should be allowed to decide what he's fielding, not be forced to field bald dudes.

>>48291364
>Wizards should definitely have female models though
Do note the empire's very superstitious and witch-hunts are common, usually it's only the boys of mor urban families that ever gain entrance, the daughters are embarrassments and are shipped of to join the sisters.

>>48291364
Then go out and mod or greenstuff it depending if it's vidya or tabletop. In 40k, I wanted my archon to be a long haired pretty boy, so I had to buy that one wood elf model with the hair I liked, and started modifying it to make it look more dark eldar.

>>48291364
>Wizards should definitely have female models though. Just like there should be female vampire lords. And male vampires.
>Player should be allowed to decide what he's fielding, not be forced to field bald dudes.

Why?

>>48290323
Word is that it was explicit in early editions (Pre-WFRPG 1e), but they toned it down over time. It's one of those things that's implied but entirely up to you if you want to keep it or leave it, similar to how Dark Eldar inflict "unspeakable torture" but they rarely out and out state what that torture is.

>>48291401

Fluff from Realms of Sorcery completely disagree.

They existed before. All magic users were hunted in the Empire until at some point Marienburg completely raped one imperial army sent to fuck them thanks to hired magicians. After that some electors started allowing magic schools in their main cities and almost all of them got one.

>>48263763
So while CA claims that the leaks about the DLC were old plans, it seems like it is still pretty accurate.

So I'm guessing Wood Elves are next up for a paid DLC race.

Anything in particular you guys want to see?

Personally all I want to see is Durthu as a Legendary Lord, since having another massive Lord like Kholek would be fun.

Though I wish they would fix the animations for them. As fun as it is seeing them smash blobs Sauron style. Seeing the lords just playing hopscotch with each other when they are fighting is a bit dull. I'd like to see some dueling animations when it is just hero/lord units, or at least unique animations should large units like Kholek or Durthu fight one another or something.

Basically all I want is something akin sync-kills in this game and I'd be happy for life

>>48293962
Each race is characterised for having one melee/leadership Legendary Lord and one magic Legendary Lord, except for the dwarfs. With one always being the race leader.

So that's Orion confirmed, and then I'm guessing Ariel as the second one.

Having a big guy like Durthu would be cool too, although I imagine he'd be easy to mod in, since he's basically like the other treemen afaik.

>>48293962
>So I'm guessing Wood Elves are next up for a paid DLC race.
Seeing ad WE vs Beastmen is one of the big things for both, it'd fit.

>>48293962
>Basically all I want is something akin sync-kills in this game and I'd be happy for life
it was the primary reason that gave idiots the reason to spam the memes of fake mass in warscape.

>>48294119
Dont giant monsters get really cool sync kills?

>>48294013
Yeah that makes sense, though I thought they might do some variations since the Chaos DLC had a trio that were all rather melee focused.

But Orion and Ariel were already my safe bets for who their Legendary Lords would be.

But if they wanted to go for another monstrous type of Lord I guess Drycha is also an option. Especially considering she got a model update recently (though that was for AoS so I doubt they would use her personally).

>>48293691
>>48293780
I think they are going to stick with AoS simply because they already went out of their way to do the End Times scenerio with Fantasy.

If I recall correctly though Fantasy wasn't even selling all that poorly. Just one idiot Exec apparently thought because it wasn't getting 40k numbers, that they should wipe the slate. Resulting in a game selling worse than the setting they killed off.

Not quite sure if this is actually accurate. But looking at the recent financial reports for GW, at the very least AoS isn't selling like they are hoping it would.

If I recall, didn't GW actually make a profit last year? But it was more of because of vidya profits, with AoS actually being a loss?

>>48294132
Kind of? They have kill animations when they are fighting the small units, however nothing when they are fighting something their own size which is a bit disappointing.

Like seeing a Giant bite a person's head off is cool and all. But it would be neat if it ripped of a n Arachnarok's leg or something along those lines.

>>48294119
Not quite sure what you're speaking of, but what exactly is wrong with the Warscape engine?

I honestly don't know much about the engine CA's using aside from hearing it being outdated or something.

>>48294180
They made a profit, but it didn't meet the projections they made previously. The income they are getting from licenses is raking in quite a bit, however as you said AoS is doing quite poorly. The major income for that series seems to be the supplementary games they are releasing rather than the main kits.

>>48294157
Angry trees ripping people to shreds is going to be a glorious experience.

I'm hoping for some dismemberment and them continuing to fight like the VC with the Blood pack.

Indeed.

>>48294188
>>48293962
TW games since Shogun 2 had matched combat, where two models from each unit would fight each other, complete with animations. A lot of people complained about these, made it look like there was no unit mass and it was a system hog. It would be really hard to do the same thing for TWW because of all the different skeletons they use. Something a studio their size don't have the resources to do.

>>48293962
I'm fine with the animations they have now, but if they updated the game so that Lords had Shogun 2 like animations when fighting one another, that would be pretty cool.

Though I don't think they would be able to mocap that practically, so I doubt it would happen.

>>48294245
Ah, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing that up for me anon.

It would be glorious, but then again we could get squidface instead considering the focus on navy integration the elves DLC should be about

>>48294145
Archaon is kind of special in that he was everything, an amazing mage, fantastic warrior and great leader, in game terms anyway. You do get outliers though like Kholek, or with the Greenskins who have Grimgor (Melee), Azhag (Magic/Leader) and the upcoming Wurrzag (Magic).

>>48294245
the fact that the game runs smooth as butter on my comp makes me happy that there is no matched combat.

No clue, though I doubt that GW is in a hurry to get a start collecting box out, seeing how the Sylvaneth are selling so well as it is. Hunters are sold out on their site AGAIN.

One of their most notable features is being imposing tall and seemingly immovable unless you're talking about tiny southern bitch deciduous trees, but that's dryad territory.

They've confirmed it as Wurrzag and not Skarsnik?

The steam page has been updated with info about Lords and their mounts:

STEAM PAGE IS UPDATED

>Lords
>Warherds are commanded by Beastlords, the braying, stomping masters of their kind. Along with Campaign, Battle and Melee skill-trees unique to The Beastmen race, Beastlords also have a number of unique skill unlocks improving their melee attack, melee defence, leadership, weapon strength and missile resistance statistics, making them exceedingly powerful warriors as well as great leaders. Beastlords may also be mounted on Razorgor Chariots from rank 15 onwards.

I was hoping they'd be allowed to ride the Chariots, having a smug beastlord roll through the masses of Ungors before the big charge appeals to me for some reason.

>>48294689
It was probably better that it died desu, 8th was in a bad position what with all the crazy cashcow monsters forming the base of armies and the crazy lore. It's good now that it's locked in place so we can appreciate the world without risk of it getting spoiled.

It feels like they were trying to force AoS from WHFB, which I'm glad didn't happen, since I feel like both have benefitted as a result.

The only proportional difference is the thickness of the limbs, and it isn't even major.
Also, they are branches, swaying in the motion of the treelord, and those branches do have leaves.

Yep, say what you want about AoS, but at least now you don't need fuckhuge super expensive armies just to play the fucking thing.

>>48294950
Now you just bash your plastic dragons together and say fighting noises.

>>48294950
This.
You can get a working AOS army under 200 yuros, probably even less.

>>48294970
fifty quid for the starter boxes, I'd consider them perfectly fine to start playing.

>>48294925
This explains why AOS models get defended, the fans are essentially blind.

>>48294986
Not an argument.
Also, that model is from before end times of warhammer fantasy.

>>48294950
I don't necessarily consider needing 9 20 dollar models and one 130 dollar model a considerable step up from 150 4 dollar models.

Treelord models precede AOS by what, like 3 or 4 years at least. Speaking of them in relation to "AoS models" is fucking retarded.

>>48295028
Luckily I don't know a single person that buys like that. My local store is pretty busy, but there's nobody I've seen that only buys the most expensive kits and then nothing else. You can still buy cheap squads and such, but now there's just a lower barrier of entry.

>Isabella as LL

Whoa, I wonder what they will do with her story considering that Vlad is dead.

>>48295211
He's been dead before, it's sortoff his thing

>>48295211
Vlad is alive in TWW, there was an event that was added in the last update that says there are rumors that he is alive. You get a negative growth because of this.

>>48295318
what does it say?

>>48295318

You will still get Isabella alone though.

>>48295503
>>48295211
Isabella is doubtful since, so far, the LL have always been a Unique Lord from the army books.

>>48295605
they have some of her voice files in the game.

>>48295632
Then she will be with vlad, not alone.

>>48295491
There was a screencap of it in a twg thread, but I can't find it right now because I need to focus on other things. It was something along the lines of rumors of vlad being alive and beware his ambitions.

>>48295714
pretty neat.

>>48295641

It's almost confirmed that next FLC LL is Isabella.

And she's going to be alone. Just like Kemmler has no Krell.

>>48295999
>no Krell.
Why must you continue to rub it in.

Might as well have made franz without his griffon or Archaon without his pony.

>>48288174

Because GW dropped the promotion after all of around two weeks. If it was something that was proving popular they would have at the least kept it around and possibly added more models under the tag.

It didn't lead to any great revival of the game itself either as I've said multiple times, despite there still being a decent number of people playing it. At most the games introduced people to the setting and they went out and bought some BL books.

>>48288186

Bloodbowl and the LotR/Hobbit have both managed to survive and continue to play despite support officially being cutoff, likely along with a few other popular specialist games.

As I just said, people still play Fantasy but it being bigger than the aforementioned has made it harder for a cohesive whole to form and easier for it to fracture. You have some people playing 8th Edition or older editions, some playing 9th Age or fan editions, and others playing KoW.

>>48293625

By selling a lot and making people flood into GW stores asking where they can buy Fantasy stuff, or so went the argument of people who didn't understand that you're not going to turn video game players into wargamers.

https://warisboring.com/total-war-warhammer-freed-me-from-the-tyranny-of-miniatures-ba88e2cd48a2

This is a pretty good example of the obstacles such people either ignored or didn't think of as such because they enjoyed them and surely people can't have different tastes.

>>48296016
theres mods for it online.

>>48295999
This makes no sense though. Kemmler can be fielded without Krell, made himself infamous without the wight, and is functional on his own. Isabella is basically joined to Vlad's hip and sucks on her own. At no point was she even operating on her own outside of End Times.

>>48280935
Well, you can probably fuck Seekers of Slaanesh.

There's no canon true centaurs, but that being said literally anything is posdible with Chaos.

Fun fact: in old continuity, Slaaneshi cultists had the right to mate with female Beastmen and took advantage of this, males were banned from retaliating.

>>48296394
That always annoyed me.

They could have horse, bull, boar, even goat limbs but no, just felt like the designers wanted to be contrary.

>>48290540

Alarielle had a model before that. If I recall correctly 8th Edition was a return to her having rules.

Looks like Azhag and was his model, doesn't matter if the name is no longer on the tin.

>If I recall correctly though Fantasy wasn't even selling all that poorly. Just one idiot Exec apparently thought because it wasn't getting 40k numbers, that they should wipe the slate.

It wasn't doing that great either. In the US alone it went from being the fourth best selling miniature game in independent stores to falling off the top five within a year, not even End Times Nagash managing to boost sales. At the same time 40k continued to reign as number until after the release of the Force Awaken when it was knocked down to number 2 by X-Wing.

8th Edition Fantasy was built with an arguably clunky ruleset for a niche group of people. All the while it's competition was ever working to streamline its rules and make their games approachable to newcomers.

Even now 40k is suffering from the same rules problems and has probably only managed to cling on because it was bigger than Fantasy, has gradually added new stuff instead of just rehashing the same armies and lore, and has model and army building requirements that while not as friendly as others games, are not as unfriendly as Fantasy's.
