Fucking !Italians. Their army has encamped at the ruined hilltop abbey of Vista Sangraile, with no idea of how screwed they are. I let this proxy war go on for far too long, those Dwarfs and Tileans could have been better spent united against the Greenskins or Chaos, but instead I accidently created War of the Beard 1.2

Jezzails, long barreled muskets from asia and mordor

>>147264109
they're called Warplock Jezzails apparently

>Warplock Jezzails are long-barrelled rifles that fire a high velocity bullet made of refined warpstone. Due to their length, Jezzails can fire an incredible distance and still strike with enough force to punch clean through even the toughest armour. If the target does not die from their injuries, they will quickly succumb to the toxic effects of the warpstone that hit them. Of course, such power does come with a price and Jezzail teams have often found themselves on the receiving end of return fire. As a result they will often be found hunkered down behind a large pavise, which is a convenient resting place for the heavy gun as well as adequate protection for the crew.

You know what never makes sense to me.

>mfw when orc player dares send spider archers to try to snipe me from flanks
>send in the bats

so who wants to continue the 9001 fellbats story

So another thing on Skaven lore, I remember someone asking a few threads ago, something important that wasn't mentioned are the greater clans. They each have a specialty, and rent their troops out to lesser clans. (Like the one the player hypothetically uses.) They all have someone in Vermintide.

There's (And correct me if my spelling is wrong, it's been a while)

Eshin, who are literally ninjas. The gutter runners are their main troops, faster than regular skaven, but they fight in loose formation and are vulnerable to a straight up fight. They also have assassins who are good at wounding or killing heroes and can be hidden with the clanrats to pop out at you.

Moulder, the beastmasters. The grabber rats and Rat ogres are from moulder, they also have packs of giant rats.

Skyre is mad scientists, the make the Ratling guns, along with the jezzails in OPs pic, and their other various demented machines which tend to blow up.

And Pestilens, who are into plague and disease, obviously. They have the poison wind globadiers, as well as plague monks and cencer bearers. Nurglesque.

So the four factions are competing while selling their stuff to the various lesser clans all scrambling for power.

Also, on topic: Does anybody use pure cavalry stacks? I've been thinking of having one to support my more balanced attacks, but I haven't been able to pull it off in my Orc campaign because I keep getting distracted... it's maiden voyage, "Operation escort my new Arachnaroxi to the front lines" turned into a battle... barely edged out a big dwarf throng with none of the spiders and many goblins dead, which is pretty ideal.

Why the fuck would you want that?! I wouldn't mind the other ones, but auto replenishing is purely positive imo.

Hope to at least get some major news this month. Blood Knights were supposed to be there in the first place and while the blood is amusing it wasn't much of an update and the units balanced are either still not worth their cost (I'm looking at you entire chaos roster) or the opposite.

Disappointed 80% of magic users are still bad, only missiles and direct damage is still impactful.

Does anyone have the rolling chart for Attila please?

>>147267774
I don't agree. It takes some time to replenish, so mercs are still useful, especially to soak casualties and in enemy territory. In the old games the lack of replenishing just resulted in a lot of unnecessary walking back and forth to replenish, and generally unneeded management that slowed down the game.

orcs have quite a few useful units, but spamming black orcs also works, the dullest faction is actually chaos, your chosen are so good that having something like 17 units of them in an army + general, and 2 fast units for chasing down enemies actually works perfectly

high tier army chaos tactics in SP is literally just ctrl+g and then rightclick at the enemy

if you're severely outnumbered, ignore walls, defend the courtyard. the AIs units never reach it all at once, so you can fight their army in pieces

>>147278959
Put missiles on wall, watch them rape enemy together with towers. Defend the gate with some units just in case. If the enemy reaches the walls, replace missiles with melee. If you're feeling like being tricky, use any kinks in the wall to shoot enemy units that's made it onto the walls in the back.

so, everything on the walls. would that work?

melee on the walls, missiles behind it

dorf warriors fight to the last. use them to anvil the enemy on the walls whilst your shooters do the damage from below. keep 1 unit of miners on the wall to hit a rear, 1 unit to engage anything rushing your shooters

>>147279601
Probably. If they have only two towers at least one will go down, so you'll have a nice choke point. I wouldn't do >>147279898, because missiles do better when deployed on the wall. Only move them away from there if you have to.

>>147280019

VC are gonna swarm the wall so fast that quarrelers on it will barely have time to shoot anyway

i'm assuming he's massively outnumbered here

>>147280130
Those volleys help a lot. And if they use ladders they'll use some time, which equals a few volleys more.

it depends what the enemy goes in with first

they can be right dicks in ignoring your orders and wasting volleys/ammo on shieled/armoured targets in the initial charge

it's always fun in dorf early game to have 5 units of quarrelers panic fire on grimgor and achieve nothing

>>147280604

That's why you do it manually unless you're on legendary.

Hellcannons itself are sentient demons which are repurposed to be a cannon. The crews are there to keep the cannon shooting instead of chomping down friend or foe up close.

What really is the benefit of incorporating a hero rather than other units that cost equal the hero when a hero generally has significantly less damage output to the units that cost equal to the hero?

The same goes for other, big single units. I see no point in using the terrorgheist or vargulf when their unit equivalents in cost crush them.

So how long do Crusades and Jihads last in Medieval 2? I'm tired of repelling half a dozen full stacks with garbage infantry, loosing 10 men for every thousand of the enemy, and they keep fucking coming

>>147282368
Because big monsters and heroes have special abilities and utilities that give them purpose on the battlefield. Whether it's a necromancer giving you more regeneration and soaking up potential miscasts, or a terrorgheist having both terror and AP damage.

Varghulfs are also big damage sponges, and in the time after a battle and the time before the engagement of the next battle, they can regen most or all their hp, if they didn't already on the campaign map.

>>147282341
Eh, fuck it

>>147282368
Their damage doesn't drop off as they take damage and you can have ranged/artillery units attack the area to support a single unit more easily than you can a full unit.

>>147282368
All those units have several advantages. Mobility, shock abilities, survivability, the ability to do lots of damage without taking up space in your line, lord assassination ability, etc. etc.
If you can's see their value it doesn't speak well of your abilities as a general.

They're just SO SHIT. I take them cause I need a ranged armor piercing units but this is ridiculous. Pic related is my thunderer units, still sitting with over 50% ammo reserves despite my best attempts at making them have clear firing positions.

As a side note, my 2 unit quarrelers had used all of their ammo after 16mins. I lost a lot of unneeded units cause the ranged damage wasn't there in dire times. What a piece of shit, I thought they fixed them?

on hills anon, they can fire over ranks easily. I have archers in deep formations for max firing on both wings where the cav and skirmishes of the enemy max.(at least thats what I've been doing with orks)

>>147295560
>Feels like they get one or two good volleys off before I need to send guys in front to protect them,

You shouldn't be placing them in frony of your army. Either place them on elevated terrain so they can fire over your main line. or create gaps in your line for gunner to fire through.

Artillery should have no problem firing over your main line if you just place them behind it.

>>147297490

There are a few little enemy armies scattered here and there, and there are still some territories that you haven't taken, but at this point, they're basically just counting the minutes until your armies obliterate theirs and put a stop to any chance of rebuilding.

I'm not sure and I'm wondering if perhaps we're going to get a surprise and they won't be the next faction specifically because they don't know what the fuck to add because GW are control freaks. Such as all 40k novels must be entirely about an apocalyptic war and must feature the imperial guard/space marines. So you'll never be allowed to get cool novels about every day life in a hive or what have you or actually flesh out any of the fluff that might attract actually good writers because it would make their official stuff look like shit and they'd have to actually do something competent and fire the entire staff and try again, including the owners.

...Daemons!

Not so sure on models for these because 40k ones get mixed up with Warhammer ones on all the images

I really doubt the generic greater daemons will be legendary lords. Daemon LLs will probably be guys like Be'lakor or Skarbrand.

>>147316798
Well they did use one of the Daemons as a LL for Chaos already, so I just assumed they would go through with it

Plus there is barely enough room as is, if I throw in every single unit you'll be looking at a picture for ants

>>147316412

Wait, aren't daemons and chaos the same thing? I'm confused here. The elven units look really nice, but if anything we'll get Brittania race pack first since they are mostly finished. They just lack a few units and balance.

>>147316978
Daemons are Chaos but not Chaos Warriors.

>>147294414

Do elaborate.

>>147316978
They have separate books.

CA intend to release more Chaos factions separate.

Fucking finally.

>>147317247

But it's a blood pack. That should already have been in the game and since this DLC came not even a full month after release, you know they were holding onto it.

>>147316317
Where is Ariel?

[ ] start the snoozefest
[ ] start a new game

>>147316412

What edition do you go by?

7th/8th or end times?

>>147317321

It also contains new animations. Should animators go unpaid too?

>>147317321
It's been over a month from release you mong

>>147310383

>>147317935

You mean High Elves? They are badass, they have lions, they ride on eagles and dragons, they are pretty metal desu

>>147268524
there won't be army painter since Regiments of Renown DLCs will be a thing. One of their selling points is unique look so do your math.

I want to send them to death now that the blood dlc is out :)

I really wish there were more features on the maps - like rock outcroppings and buildings you could garrison archers in.
