>>166916558
They have a lot of guns, but that might not be that effective in the forest. The good thing about having guns is that superior beastmen strenght(or skill) doesn't matter.

>>166916631
In Attila?
ERE is pretty action packed but still sturdy and reliable unlike the west.
Gothic roster is pretty damn good and certainly diverse for the barbars.
The Kingdoms of Sand DLC has pretty decent factions.

>>166916605
If you get enough of them there are.
But yeah I got a different sense of time from your post, like you waited dozens of turns expecting the VC not to recover or something.

>>166916631
The Glorious Alans

>>166916631

The 3 british tribes are all fun and have cool units. Burgundy is my favorite european faction to play as but are a bit tougher.

Is there a reason warhammer says chaos is hard? It seemed way easier to just raid the fuck out of people and kill then to play an actual faction.

Reminder about Antiochus v.2.

>>166917891
Because if you lose a single battle you lose the entire horde. Every single fight is you defending your capital city, and any loss is an instant campaign loss.

>>166917891
You start with one army that you can't lose or it's game over. For veterans of Total War who know how to pussyfoot around the map, this isn't an issue, but as Hungry Hernando showed us, someone new to the series will likely game over in like 5 turns.

>>166917891
Your ranged options are shit to non-existent in the early game. You're also highly susceptible to losing outright as the other guy said.

You've got more than 4 units of cav so, provided your front line can hold for the 30 seconds it takes for them to get into position, you win the instant you get the rear charge off unless the WRE has brought literally a full stack of cav to reinforce. If your front line can hold longer than a minute then you should probably obliterate their ranged units first to keep your cav safe from skirmisher fire and to make their front line rout faster due to friendly losses elsewhere.

That was the whole point, they tried to replicate the steam tanks, but the internal workings were too well-made and advanced to be copied perfectly. So by throwing enough money at the problem they managed to scale the engine up in size, though some loss of efficiency meant the larger tank couldn't be as heavily armored or armed.

As for the chassis, it could have been anything but since it was Marienburg paying for the project, it ended up looking like a ship.

sorry if i reply this late but you all faggots need to learn some history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus
>The Maus was too heavy to cross bridges. As a result, an alternative system was developed, where the Maus would instead ford the rivers it needed to cross. Due to its size it could ford relatively deep streams, but for deeper ones it was to submerge and drive across the river bottom. The solution required tanks to be paired up. One Maus would supply electrical power to the crossing vehicle via a cable until it reached the other side. The crew would receive air through a large snorkel, which was long enough for the tank to go 7.9 m (26 ft) under water.

>penetrating helmet

arrows would just dent the helmet and glance off. If you can afford armour, the number one priority is the head, hence helmet. Its better than nothing at all.

Archers won't use closed helmets with visors and things like that of course, they'll use open helmets. Bowl or 3/4 helmet at the most.

We should have burned Athel Loren, all the trees and sprites, many years ago!

*shouting*

Enough! Montfort is lost, and our western allies have failed us. Where were the elfs last seen?

My spies tell me that they are massing in the west, we must expect an attack on Helmgart!

This is nonsense, no attack is coming - The Empire controls Axebite Pass. they are not attacking, they are making allies! At this very moment they consult Courrone, the Brettonians! The Grail Knights will crusade against us and Marienburg will be lost once more!

Ridiculous! Karak Ziflin won't stand for it! Our forces have sole military access to their foothills. I believe the attack will come from Middenland itself - they intend to travel across the world roots, and into the drakwald - the forest will revolt, and sweep down from the north

Thats wild speculation!

They cannot win back the Drakwald from the beastmen!

They will come not from athel loren, nor from the north - our traders in the south report that they have forged an alliance with Clan Angrund. They intend to circumnavigate the grey mountains and march their army-

Over the Vaults perhaps!

They would lose half their army to attrition alone! The other half would desert!

We must defend the Mondidier Pass!

And do you expect the dwarfs to welcome them when they arrive?

I suppose they will bring with them, an army of Forest Dragons!

how the fuck are humans even alive in warhammer?

So leouncouer is basically the poor mans Karl Franz, is this correct?

>>166950089
BIG. CANNONS and to a lesser extent, magic and balls of steel

>>166950089
Humans fucking sucked dick big time until this one Conan looking guy picked up a hammer and pulled their shit straight.

Slightly more westwards, some other humans got gud at riding quadruped mammals, then some elf chick gave them awesome powers and they made a kingdom.

>>166950089
lolplot. But mostly Sigmar's iron balls. And the High Elves, which are basically a global policing force.
All the warhams discussion makes me nostalgic for 2010 /tg/, that was some good shit before it became quest and then general center.

>>166950089

Because all the forces bent on their destruction have plenty of other shit to deal with on top of them.

>>166950534
My soul is a little dead. I mean, there are still some good threads every now and then, but it's not like the golden age of /tg/ where shit got done and worlds were made.

The other day I was just going through 1d4chan and shed a little tear when I saw Oinkbane.

>>166950089
They got a free pass for quite a while due to elves and dwarves being world police on chaos and orcs. Then the elves fucked that all up and took the dwarves with them, but chaos was a pretty minor problem by then anyway since it had basically no anchors in the world until humans got bigger and fucked that up too and while the dwarves were perma fucked thanks to the elves they were still big enough to keep a lid on the orcs until after the point where humanity had got its shit together and could contribute in a meaningful manner

The undead basically dealt with themselves most of the time via an eternal burning hatred of nagash so whenever he tried to start shit they tended to put a stop to it, except that one time he managed to scare the skaven enough that they did it instead, so there wasn't anything in the way of an undead threat till vlad turned up either. And the skaven are literally their own worst enemy so were never a real threat to anyone until the end times where their god literally turned up to tell them to get their shit together.

>>166950887
Back in the day, when we got stuff like Devil's Dixie and Love Can Bloom... At least we had some good times.

It's the weapon Karl Franz uses, passed down from the first emperor Sigmar, gifted to him by the Dwarfs. After killing the first Everchosen of Chaos, he left the hammer behind and fucked off to god knows where.

>>166954351
so what makes ghal maraz so special? Obviously it was the weapon of a man who ascended to godhood, but it was originally a weapon crafted by the dwarfs as a gift to sigmar, wasn't it? So the runefangs, (which are also dwarf-crafted weapons given to the elector counts of the empire) should have a similar power level right? Or does the fact that its Sigmar's hammer make it much better?

_____

>>166954720
If I remember right the difference between Ghal Maraz and runefangs is the craftsmanship. Ghal Maraz was made via good old fantasy standby "forgotten ancient techniques", presumably lost because the fucking elves fucked up everything with the war of the beard. God damn warhammer elves literally fuck up everything they touch.. The runefangs were made by a dwarven madman trying to recreate the shit that went into Ghal Maraz, as gifts for sigmars best buddies.

>>166955838

some of the storybooks about sigmars life hinted that the hammer and the runefangs are host to some ancient anti-chaos entities that have existed in different forms before being forged into their current forms.

Bret Teaser tomorrow!

>>166954720

ghal maraz was the old weapon of the dwarf high kings forged at the beginning of the dwarf race, most likely by one of their ancestor gods. Sigmar saved the High king of his age and got the weapon as a gift due to the High king suddenly realizing that the hammer was originally forged for sigmar and not for a dwarf.

Runefangs were made after sigmar leaving by the greatest dwarf runesmith alive and are such powerful blades that dwarves can no longer replicate their creation.

agreed. All total war games are at their best in the early game.

Only reason why i've won a few warhammer campaigns instead of just leaving them fallow. is because of faction variety does make it kind of fun to retool and engage another army in the late game. but generally those desperate early battles where everything is on the line are the most fun.

Kholek is a beast and great fun. The campaign tends to be shit since the AI pisses their pants and usually camps in their town. On higher difficulties this means a full stack in every god damn settlement so you ultra cheese it with manually aimed hellcannons and finish every siege with zero loses.

Gets boring fast but it's the only way to survive since hordes are incredibly vulnerable.

They play differently from wood elves.

But they are very much the glass cannon arch type.

though where the wood elves use terrain and skirmishing tactics to deal with the glass.

High elves use pure magic.

Also there should be a high elf unit that's like eternal guard with shields, but they also have bows.
