They are both biased, with only difference is that HE have prettier women.

>>53124988
you misread
the dwarf one is biased
the HE one is based
easy mistake, no worries

>>53124988
Also prettier men. Though the high elf army book is the only one that admits having done something bad. Which may just be because they lost.

>>53125009
Wearing an irreplaceable heirloom to battle was a mistake. Also Caledor the Warrior was a bit of a fool.

do chaos chariots work as well on tabletop as they do in total warhammer?

>>53124775
at first glance at the thumbnail it seemed as if Urist had hole in him and you could see the fire behind him through it

>>53125620
Allthough I haven't tried them out myself I'm quite interested in testing a set up of 2 x Chaos Chariots on one flank. It seems like they would be capable of some nice flank action.
However the closest I've come to fielding chaos chariots in a game are gorebeast chariots of nurgle which I highly recommend. Impact hits with killing blow and near invulnerability is great!

>>53125827
I meant ALL CHAOS CHARIOTS YOU CAN TAKE, like AI in TWWH does

Dwarf beards are not really beards, they are tiny tentacles.

That's why dwarfs so protective of them.

>>53125856
In TW, those chariots are just hilariously overpowered. After battles I look at kill stats and the majority of enemy units maybe kill 10 or 15 of my guys, and those motherfucking chariots have killed 150 or 200. They are too fast to be caught by infantry, outmaneuver archers, slice through cavalry, are too small for siege enginesand are crazy tough. How the fuck do you counter these things?

>>53125910
steam tanks?

>>53125924
Haven't tried that before, normally I go for more traditional units, but i will give them a go. I suspect the chariots will simply outmaneuver and get behind them, and wreck them in melee, plus sometimes the ai spams 8 or 10 chariots in an army, so I would need a fuck tonne of tanks. Even if I take out a couple of units before they get to me, my infantry formations will still be obliterated by chariots that drive through them like water, straight into my archers and artillery who will get curbstomped.

>>53125856
Ah dunno about that. To my knowledge it's atleast fully viable to fill your core-quota with only chariots.

no it means high elves are generic faggot prissy elves where there isnt much difference between their feminine women and feminine men

Tolkien elves are they only manly elves and its whats high elves used to be

>>53126755
Oh yeah, you sure showed me with this unofficial art. While high elves don't put on a front of manliness which means for you guys being hairy, having bad hygiene, muscles and acting like a manchild the elf-faggot meme does not apply. It's just a meme that shows that you know shit about fantasy.

>>53126829
>you guys

what? are you rping as an elf or something?

>hurrr elves dont meet your problematic definition of masculinity shitlord! they are manly by being pretty and faggoty. pegging and cuckholdry are the true thinking mans fetishes

oh no you sure showed me

i know plenty about fantasy. helves used to be manly badass tolkien noldor elves. now they are generic faggot elves whos greatest warriors are as strong as women

>>53126906

I mean you anti-elffaggots I have the same arguments across multiple boards with that spew the elf-faggot meme and whenever I ask on what setting they base this notion I get a non-answer, some >t. elf or something similar.
>now they are generic faggot elves whos greatest warriors are as strong as women
Alright, let's play a game. I name a badass male high elf from warhammer fantasy and you name a badass female high elf from warhammer fantasy. No mages, because we are talking about warriors here. Let's see how far we come, shall we? I start with an obvious one: Tyrion.

Who knows, probably Hoeth's related charm.

>>53125910
Mostly what I do is bog them down with as many bodies as possible. A thick block of infantry will trap them for a bit and allow you to do more damage, especially if you happen to have cavalry to come around and help surround them. Any buffing spells for your troops or weakening ones for the chariots help too.

Cavalry might be somewhat useful, but I always seem to get mixed results if I ever try and charge chariots. Better to wait until they're bogged down in infantry. Archers can be somewhat useful against them, but against a Chaos Marauder force I tend to save them for taking on the their missile cavalry, since they're too fast to get caught by my cavalry.

Then again, TWW stops having fun battles for me after they get to larger armies, and chaos chariot spam was something I was only willing to deal with for a few battles. Goes to show it's hard to match a game to the tabletop.

>>53127664
>TWW stops having fun battles for me after they get to larger armies
dunno, my and coop friend's massive battle agains Archaon and Sarthorael with high-end armies was pretty darn epic

>>53127664
literally just take 30 seconds to install an ai unit recruitment mod you dumbass

holy shit its like you faggots love to do things the dumb hard way just so you can complain about it

>>53127715
not same anon, but me and I'm sure many other people avoid any and all mods altogether in games where one's supposed to rely on skill or which are supposed to be hard(-ish).
e.g. TWWH, Darkest Dungeon, etc.

Mods are okay in stuff like Skyrim or Space Engineers which are intended as easymode playgrounds

>>53127756
plenty of mods make the game harder. are you intentially trying to be retarded? literally the entire standard list of mods going around twg make the game harder

how the fuck do you think mods only exist to make the game easier? i would seriously bully you in real life right now if you were in front of me. fucking idiot

>>53127850
if difficulty matters, I prefer to play the game exactly as made by devs
i don't even use cosmetic mods in that case, because that's matter of principle

don't be daft. half the modes I use for skyrim actually make it harder. that's not the point.

>>53127884
no the point is youre hitting yourself in the head with a hammer so you can whine and complain like a fucking bitch about having a headache

kill yourself my man

>>53127707
It is different for co-op or multiplayer, when you have a friend to control the allied force. That can be fun, especially if you can coordinate well.

But when I'm playing the campaign, I don't find it fun to have to coordinate multiple armies to defeat an enemy force. It's the kind of battles I tend to autoresolve just because I know I won't have fun playing them - especially when it gets to the point where I'm sending multiple armies to siege one Wood Elf settlement. Large battles get awkward to play for me, especially when I don't even have the option of setting an ally force as being controlled by the AI like back in Medieval 2.

>>53127715
That is honestly my fault, yeah. But I've gotten really far in this vanilla game, and I don't really want to stop now. And it's still important to know how to deal with chariot spam if for whatever reason you still want to play vanilla - and I can see why, especially if you don't deal with Chaos much. Most of the time other factions can have a pretty decent mix of troops unless they're confined to only one territory like Mousilion.

>>53127407
Tyrions warlike fervour is unusual in Saphery, that's why he doesn't fit in with his countrymen, but Nagarithy, Caledori and Chracians are very martial societies, where nobles who aren't in the military are considered craven.

Is the Man O War game any good?

>>53127981
yeah, its alright. you can play as any race in skirmish but are limited to humans/ khorne for campaign map.

>>53127981
the human and dwarf ships are neat and fun to play, makes for a nice play, but the Chaos and Elven ships look borderline hokey compared to the human ones, and tend to take me out of the game.

>>53128029

Skaven do not have cavalry

>>53129394
Tunnel Rushers. They were found to be cost-inefficient so they don't typically use them but they do exist in the fluff.

How is the new Vermintide DLC?

>>53129754
No to both cases, you should try to find out imaginative ways to exploit the WHFB Necromancy theme (Soul manipulation, raising Undead and Aging) but here's some ideas:
>Ensorcell weapon: binding a soul to a weapon, improving it but being necromancy, and with some side effect (Screaming sword anyone?)
>Any sort of "dominate undead" to turn Necromancer's undead against him
>Some sort of reverse raise dead, forcing Undead troops to crumble
>A ritual to awaken a sleeping Vampire?
>A ritual to fully bring back the dead?
>A ritual to turn a player into a Vampire?

Or adapt the Vampire spells from the not-so-popular Storm of Magic
>Malediction of Nagash: At the Necromancer’s command, his enemies feel the looming shadow of undeath fall across them, sapping their strength and endurance.
>The Army of Doom Keep: The legendary Elf Mage Anareth could not forever destroy the dread army of Doom Keep, so he sealed it away in a pocket of magic. Alas, this prison could not remain secret forever and, little by little, accursed Necromancers have begun to draw the wight-host into the mortal world once more.

>>53128198
there is no way back from Smegmarines. the 40k update shows that GW is fully embracing this new policy of warcraftifying everything, and the steampunk abominations have been the final nail in the coffin for me.

GW doesn't want Oldhammer back, and I don't thinl I even want NuGw to fumble with the material any more than they already did. They can't be trusted with any of their IPs, and I'm glad it's in CA's hands now.

>>53130868

How do I destroy strong heroes in total warhammer? Grimgor almost killed my army.

>>53133416
cannons

i'm bringing a unit of ~35-40 bestigors. should they be in horde formation or 5/6 wide? I already have two hordes of Gors 40 strong each with multiple raider units to protect flanks

>>53134052

I would run them horde with a magic banner and plonk them in the middle of your line.

>>53133416
You should be asking that in /twg/

All of these work:
>AP ranged focus fire
>Knocking him constantly with monsters/cav
>Drown him in your units while you rout the rest of his army
>Lord + 1-2 Heroes should be able to easily gank him

>>53135199

T9A is more of the same but with tighter restrictions and more balance. If you don't like 8E then you won't like 9A.

>>53135490
i like 8e

What is /tg/'s recommendation for getting started? I've never painted anything ever, but I watched like 15 of miniwargaming jay's videos so I feel like I'd be able to do it decently. I'm just worried about getting started buying one unit at a time and GW discontinuing the models I'm buying at some point.

I just play whatever everyone else is playing. I think the thing that hurts T9A is that they're trying to make this super competitive tight rule set that all the tournament goers will love but there's no need anymore. The only people who still play Fantasy now are diehards who want to have a good game, all the WAAC faggots have fucked off to other games where they can pummel 14 year olds by spending hundreds of burger/bong/leaf dollars.

Isn't the High Elf navy the reason why they kick so much ass, rather than their army?

I wouldn't worry about being discontinued, you can get most of it cheaper on eBay once the panic buying has died down.

Just buy what you like the look of, mount them on squares and either play 'regiments of renown' or a skirmish game until your collection is large enough to play 1500+ point games.

They said the changes in 1.3 were down to remove any chance of GW enforcing their IP. They're far too fucking worried about all that, they have a few lawyers on the team and they're always shit scared they're going to get caught out. Why even bother making 9th edition if you're going to change everything about it? May as well have started from scratch.

>>53135968
The whole point I thought of 9th Age was that it was supposed to be like a fixed version of 8th Edition, but they are trying way too hard to make it 'lawyer proof." I honestly don't think Games Workshop gives a shit about 9th Age because they are not selling Fantasy Battle books anymore and there's no potential earnings to be protected.

One thing that was an immediate turn off for me about 9th Age was the fact that they change the names of pretty much all the units. It was supposed to be a really extensive mod for Fantasy Battle but you basically need a translator guide for everything just to get started.

>>53136064

Yeah, it all sounded so good on paper but the execution has been messy to say the least.

There doesn't seem to be an end goal anymore. It's turned into their own game but it has all the baggage of 8E. They would have been better off publishing an extensive balance package and calling it a day. Then take the core rules of movement, shooting and assault and make their own spiritual successor.

I've just lost interest in it now, it's either 8E with some house rules or KoW.

>>53136143
>it's either 8E with some house rules or KoW.
On that note, I'm a 6th player but, interested to know if KoW is any good.

>>53133184
Executioner's sword is pretty great though

probably the strongest DLC weapon yet

>>53136187

Yeah it's a much faster and more streamlined game that plays like Black Powder/Warmaster. It keeps about 90% of the spirit of Fantasy with 50% of the rules.

>>53138634

They should put Nagashizzar in as a 3rd undead faction and that would include about 90% of the good stuff from ET.

Only chaos, skaven and undead got cool shit though. Elves got imrik and the incarnates, the empire would get Valten and power boosts to Karl and Gelt, dwarfs only get Ungrimm and maybe runic items for entire units, orks get a power boost to grimgor. Everyone else is left in the dust

I just started playing Vermintide today and I was wondering if anyone had some tips?

It seems like every mission failure has come down to me being the last alive because I'm fighting off some armored fucks but the rest of the team couldn't handle the same amount of armored fucks?

>>53138798

What difficulty are you playing on?

>>53138768

> Skaven

Please don't try to justify those abominations with Gatling guns in their chest.

>>53124775
Is there any reason to use anything other than a shield or buckler in the offhand? From what I understand, having something in each hand grants a free parry but you still attack with one weapon. Unless you have ambidextrous, a second hand weapon will be less accurate and won't deal increased damage and non hand weapons will both be less accurate and won't hit as hard. There doesn't seem to be any reason to use an offhand that isn't a shield or buckler.

>>53138798
Since this game is literally just Left4Dead with different special enemies, I'd recommend checking some guides on that game. There's a lot more gitgud videos since the game is much older.

As for the armored fucks, you're better off listening for them and avoiding them if they're patrols. If not, its all about blocking and power-attacking their heads. You have to communicate to other players things like that in-game. Assume every PUG is all noobs.

>>53135837
As someone who just started out as well, I just watched ebay like a hawk and waited for a good deal. I got a huge army (about 4k+ points) for $200. Some people just want to get rid of stuff. Only problem was they needed a really long bath in some simple green, because they were painted in what looking like crayons.

I also cheated before that though. I got a cheap 3d printer and taught myself how to play with proxies. I can make some decent terrain though.

>>53138634
If we don't get a Nagash faction, they could add the Morghasts as Hammurai in the TK roster.

Normal as the Dwarf w/axe+board and crossbow
I average about 13 armored fucks and 4 special kills on the first mission (which I've yet to complete with a group).

>>53138847
I usually try and headshot with my crossbow if I've got the distance but I didn't know you could avoid them completely.

>>53138928

Best combo for Dwarf is axe and shield with handgun. Use the axe to take care of stormvermin as you say and the shield for hordes, then use the handgun to one shot any specials.

Some general tips are obviously stay together, never be more than 5 feet away from each other and if you do have to split up go in pairs.

You'll find 80% of the game is in timing and footwork, which you'll only get better at through experience, you'll be soloing white rat on nightmare before you know it.

That's literally what Kharadron Overlords are, dwarfs who pretty much said "fuck kings and gods" and went balls to the walls with technology and magic.

>>53140157
But they didn't stick to mountains, so we can't be sure if the way their tech went is the way WFB dwarves would go if unfettered.

I imagine it'd be closer to Chaos Dwarf tech, since they're the dark side of the Dwarves that doesn't care about tradition or consequence, and does a ton of experimentation.

Did anyone here own the magic cards they made for 8th? I was thinking of getting some but what do they actually include? I want the 8 lores from the BRB, do you get these in the faction boxes or do you only get that factions unique lore?

is warhammer fantasy and warhammer 40k the same universe? if yes, then how does it go from fantasy to 40k, do all the factions fly into space?

>>53144713
>in what age does total war warhammer take place?
8th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, its starts with Karl Franz coronation in 2502 IC.

>what is age of sigmar?
Its separate setting made after End Times campaign in which Warhammer Fantasy world was destroyed. It has different general thread.

>is warhammer fantasy and warhammer 40k the same universe?
In early editions they shared same warp and occasionally WHFB featured artifacts from 40k, they were made separate later on.

>>53144867
thanks a lot for clearing that up, guessing there are no crossovers then

>>53144713
1) same age as most of playable WHFB. Karl Franz is teh Emprah, Mannfred is back as the Count von Carstein, Leoncourt is King of Rohan, Archaon preparing to attack, etc.

Age of Sigmar is whole different setting, set in a world that was made after the WHFB universe was destroyed. We normally don't talk about it and don't consider it canon.

No, they ain't. Warp / Realms of Chaos may or may not be the same. It's safest to assume all ties are just easter eggs.

Ranged units don't kill them very quickly but chariots are big enough that ranged units can hit them when they're bogged down in melee. The trick is to anticipate where they will hit and get two units of infantry on them. The weight of two units is enough to pin them in place and greatly slow down their ability to leave melee.

Chariots are just no threat in my opinion. I don't think they should be buffed stat-wise but most chariot units could use another model or two to make them worthwhile.

The only enemies I fear are monsters (arachnorok, dragons, giants, etc). Even they get burned down by ranged infantry pretty well. Tree kin are stupid tough and will put chariots to shame every time.

>>53145072
Hey man, he said he was rushed.

>>53145151
Doesn't that leave your units prone to friendly fire accidents?

Problem in my experience is just how many chariots that will get spammed - it can be very hard to get an infantry unit on each of them, let alone two. And if they pull through, they circle around to hit your vulnerable archers. And that's not even taking into account how they'll be accompanied by a lot of infantry and marauder horsemen.

>>53145180
for elves this means
>"I couldn't add finely detailed miniature paintings adorned with tiny gemstones detailing our surroundings, mentioned characters' visages and my current mood and had to make do with only exquisitely composed, calligraphically written and thrice proofreaden text, not that we elves are capable of making a mistake in the first place."

>>53145231

I don't give a damn about friendly fire.

When playing as Dawi I even have ironbreakers and miners chuck their blasting charges into melee. I found that once I stopped caring about friendly fire the battles got easier, to say the least.

Though to be fair I've never encountered more than 4 or 5 units of chariots. I reckon if there were 8 as mentioned above it would be more annoying.

If you look up previous discussions in this thread you'll find some explanations of the complication relationship regarding Warhammer Fantasy and 40K.
The tldr is basically that they used to share a universe (wherein the fantasy world was just a primitive planet in the vast Galaxy of the 40K-universe), which was later changed to seperate universes which was later on changed to that they might belong to the same multiverse with some hints about cross-travel.

>>53151368
This was asked a bit back, and I think the general response was 'nah.' They're distinct enough settings you can't exactly combine them and talk about both well.

It'd be like if they tried to combine /tgesg/ with...I dunno, something else prominent on /tg/ that's vidya related.

Dwarfs are extremely slow in moving forward, and typically perfect things over centuries or even millennia before actually progressing. They are conservative to the extremes, in all regards of life, which is likely part of why they're resistant to Chaos (or a function of it).

It's why the Humans pushed out the Hochland Long-Rifle within a generation or two of starting to use rifles, even though the dwarfs easily make the best firearms. Dwarfs are amazing craftsmen, but not innovative.
