Is Total Warhammer the only good Warhammer Game that came out since Spess Mehreen?

I was kinda excited about the Warhammer Sale last week but when I looked at the game it was all Moblie Tier Shit and flops like Space Hulk or Battlefleet Gothic.
Dawn of War III was the best Game on sale and that's really really sad.

Space Hulk is improving and Battlefleet Gothic was good to begin with. Total War: Warhammer is pretty great, I'll admit, but all the DLC costs a fuckton. You also forgot about Vermintide, which is incredible.

I understand the rock-paper-scissors mechanism of the game, I just don't get how to you can align your forces or how to intercept when suddenly they pull out reinforcements out of nowhere and start mauling your archers.

Play Chaos or Undead. They don't have any archers.

>>385203708
what kind of game will this be?

>>385212373
ARPG

>>385212003
Keep reserves
Use your first wave of infantry, preferably your best, as a general tarpit. One unit can lock up 2-3 AI blocks.
Keep some spearmen behind in case they charge cavalry or monsters at your front line.
Then swing your cavalry round into the back centre of the enemy line, and cavalry cycle. While that's happening, move any infantry you have left into a flank.
Keep your missile units on the sides, but don't flank with them. Use them to counter enemy ranged and make sure fleeing units stay routed. Keep one or two units of either cavalry or fast infantry on standby to tie up any attempts to charge the ranged.
If you have Artillery, use them primarily to counter archers, large units or routing units. Always keep an anti large unit defending them, because the AI has a massive hard on for attacking artillery, even when it makes no sense.
If the enemy has artillery, they will never defend it, so charge a fast unit round the back as soon as its free from their main line.

>>385203708
Space Hulk: Ascension is pretty good if you like squad based strategy games. It can get a little repetitive after awhile though.

I enjoy Dawn of War 1 and Total War: Warhammer. I think they're both great games and not just great Warhammer games. Thought Vermintide was pretty mediocre but had fun playing it for a month with friends.

What other Warhammer games would you recommend to someone like me? I enjoy both Fantasy and 40k.

I like the concept but I just hope it's not another shit-tier 40k game

I still don't really get why they can't just make a digitised version of the tabletop game with army/model painting etc. The reason is probably that it would cannibalise tabletop sales and GW are greedy and short-sighted enough that they'd pull the license if that happened.

That's done on purpose to maintain a constant level of challenge. If a player brings an impressive and the AI doesn't or the player has one more hero unit, it's a free win for the player. You can still outlevel and outgear the AI after a while, so it's not really a problem even for people who want to gain an edge over the AI through warband and individual unit progression, since the AI units don't actually mirror yours in stats, they only scale, but that scaling is far too slow to catch up with the player.

They fell for the "console players love SRPGs" meme and made an interface in such a way that the could be comfortably played on consoles. The game got really good reviews on consoles, but sold like dogshit. There's a reason why Japanese (read: console) non-mobile SRPGs are dead.

Well GW missed the train with being way too protective of their IP. Selling it to anyone these days doesnt make up for years and years of missed opportunities to establish 40k as a much bigger gaming brand.

Now we get games from independent studios that dont have the budgets to do the setting justice.

Cant really recall a great 40k game as of late. Battlefleet Gothic was pretty ok and I like how gorgeous Deathwing looks, but thats about it.

We all know which way Dawn of War 3 went...

>>385219523
The link is in the OP.

>>385218723
I want ARPG where you get to play as some Chaos dude. The whole killing things, getting better loot while getting absurdly strong over time sounds like what life is generally like in EoT. Chaos even have frequent infighting, so you don't need to came up with detailed explanation why your dude is killing daemons or other Chaos dudes.

You could say this also applies to Orks, but Chaos is the one that gets to play with some weird and freaky stuff like noise guns or weaponized mutations. That's a whole lot of character customization from function to looks right there.

Yeah they are both fixing bugs and adding features. The big thing is supposed to arrive later this year, with supposed progression system and loot drops IIRC, which might be interesting.

Recently they added the chaplain interrogator, who looks fucking metal as a new class. The game would still benefit from more enemy types and better optimization, but its getting better, thats for sure.

>>385220515
No it doesnt feel slow at all if you play at, probably something to do with some physics setting or bug. It used to run kidna sluggish, but most the animations/combat has been sped up roughly 10-25%.

>>385203708

>>385220996
No, they only have the license for three games, and they're not even allowed to do naval battles (for now) because of that indie game Corsair: Man'O'War which sold like 2000 copies.

>>385220996
If Total Warhammer 2 and 3 are super successful then I don't think there'll be a need for any more sequels, we'll have the perfect game already by then.

>>385218846
does it have all the events that appeared in updates like Rise of the Tomb Kings?

>>385220996

I think it'd be in their best interest to move away from a big release + DLC model and move towards just creating a Warhammer framework that they continually update and build on + release content for that could be used for all GW table top ip's over an extended period of time.

>>385221238

So yeah, maybe. But I would rather if they did a proper 40k epic scale strategy game.

Well I would rather Paradox did it, but they cant bet trusted not to overjew any game anymore with millions of DLC.

>and they're not even allowed to do naval battles (for now) because of that indie game Corsair: Man'O'War which sold like 2000 copies
This makes no sense because Man O War's naval battles play nothing like a Total War title's naval battles do. Man O War is WAY more personal with you controlling individual characters and shit on the ships you sail.

The suits don't care about how the games play. They care about what the games portray. And no two games may portray the same thing (Warhammer fantasy naval battles).

>>385221383
>Why not?
Because both Warhammer settings have amazing roleplaying potential and I find it really odd that someone would decide to make a simple h&s grindfest in the setting.

Friendo, don't do it. Rampant cheating has become the norm now, particularly with Cheat Engine. Some stupid fuck decided to try and revitalize the game by teaching people how to use it, and now you have people blatantly jumping around with retarded loadouts and still being terrible at the game somehow. There's a couple clans still active, but most of them are just filled with Russians cheating at the game or only one or two active members. If you wanna compare EC and SM, talk to some of the xBro clan guys in EC, particularly BlessMyBolter, Biohazard, or Xcomer, since they used to play SM a ton. I'm too bitter over what has happened to both games to really enjoy either anymore.

On release I didn't play a lot of WAR. But a private server came up like 2-3 years ago and I've played that non stop for a while. Its the only Warhammer game that lets me play as a single blorc.

Vermintide is pretty fun, I played a lot after its initial release, DL'd the DLC during the summer sale but still haven't given it a try. Total War Warhammer is fun but my all time favorite game is gonna be Dawn of War 2 - Retribution. The multiplayer in that game is the funnest. The voice acting for every faction was done so remarkably, they all have over 20 minutes of voice lines, they express interactions with enemies or allies as well as whats happening in the world.

Inquistiorial bands can be used for a lot of different game genres, but X-com style game isn't one of them. Inquistion involves a lot of investigating and detective work, where as the deathwatch is all about killing xenos. Deathwatch also uses mixed unit kill teams, and has marines haling from a variety of chapters, and are ussualy the ones called in when xenos related stuff like GSC start to cause a problem.

I lowered my expectations for EC so I could at least enjoy it. Honestly I just wanted to be a bad ass slugga boy, or a slugga nob like in Space marine. Nobs were fucking huge, had 2 handers and could charge it was crazy.

It still amazes me how Space Marine captured the feel of being a space marine, your weight as you run, the power behind each blow, it was awesome. Not to mention the fucking dreadnought DLC was fun as fuck when it came out.

I don't play LSM or CSM often enough in EC, but I have been enjoying Eldar as of late. I like the mobility of their class, but you're so squishy it's almost frustrating, and because of how squishy you are the faction relies much more on teamwork. Storming some points are practically impossible, especially when a bolter can drop you in 5 shots or the auto-aim bolt pistol can 2 shot most Eldar classes. Honestly, I'm just more frustrated at LSM players being so terrible and whiny despite being almost exclusively catered to. I just wanna play as my xenos waifu and have fun without a faction that has a very obvious advantage over me accusing me of cheating.

Must not be a lot of action if it doesn't matter that your guys die on the frontline. DoW2 its devastating to have a squad fucked, because then they have to return to base. Which leads to players going all out to murder each other.

And don't give me this bullshit that RETREATING IS GAY, WATCH ME SAVE MY WHOLE ARMY BY PRESSING X. You guys don't understand how gaining ground works. IIRC DoW2 is also more micro-managable.

The problem with Vermintide is it stuck TOO close to the Left 4 Dead formula. The game would be much better if it had 4 player co-op in a big world. basically like Dying Light instead of left 4 dead.
You should try Eternal Crusade if you want more 40k shooty fun with no financial investment.

>>385229902
I disagree. Vermintide is exactly the right amount of L4D.

>>385230417
I' rather play left 4 Dead at that point. Ai in l4D is much better and it has multiplayer.

If you could play as the rats in Vermintide it would make me reconsider my position.

>>385230538
L4D does not have permanent progression and cosmetics.

>>385230538
The Melee system is so much better in Vermintide, and there's nothing else quite like it.
L4D is good, but the shooting mechanics are pretty standard and Multi is filled with HueHues, Slavs and retards. Though granted, you also see a lot of retards in everything up to Nightmare, but it's practically soloable before then unless you get caught in a down spiral.

Also, while it's a personal preference, I think the VAs are a lot better in vermintide, and the banter is more varied.

Is Vermintide even alive at this point?

Stick together.
It's better to avoid damage than deal damage
Each Weapon is viable to everything up to Nightmare, provided you upgrade them, but you'll have to learn the ins and outs of them to use them effectively
If you can, always have a healing trait on at least one weapon that will reliably trigger it.

>>385232295
Not him but it's worth getting one of the fish trinkets so you can duplicate healing items once in a blue moon. So if you get one of them equip it. Along with a lichbone which you might get eventually on higher difficulties.
I would also try clearing the contract board of contracts, this can help you get weapons and those gems to help make/upgrade/change traits of weapons.

>>385232295
If you play as the brightwizard, your ranged weapon will have a overheat meter that causes you to explode if you go over it, and your weapon attacks start getting slower as it rises. You can either wait for it to cool down by itself (which takes 1 minute from full, IIRC) or vent it, but it causes slight damage in ticks.
It's generally best to not overheat and vent unless you get attacked by hordes, and you can let it vent naturally and use your melee weapon if it's a non serious situation.

Also, don't get used to firing at everyone's feet; in Nightmare and Cataclysm difficulty you get a degree of friendly fire, especially under a strength potion, and the bright wizard causes the most DD of the group. Get used to only firing at the feet in last stand mode, which has no FF, or in emergeances (Such as a packmaster/Gutter runner attack, or if someone is downed and surrounded. In those cases, the FF damage will be paltry compared to what they'll get if you don't
