Poor Boris, i don't think alliance can help you at this point

>>169389525

You have two roads to success.

1: Ignore Iron Rock and head south. Let the Red Fangs get shit on by the Dwarfs while you take their land and build up strength. Fight Karak Azul as a stepping stone to prep you for fighting the main Dwarfs.

2: Be real kunning and use the Underway to get up to the Silver Road. Sack the minor provinces until you get a Waaagh going, then nab Karaz a Karak.

Long and short of it is: Fighting dwarfs without your elite armor piercing units sucks. So either out vnderstand them early or avoid them until late.

Man, I don't know what to pick tomorrow.

I want to play Alberic, but he seems generic and kind of the ''weakest'' of the three.

The Lady seems strong, but I don't know how her campaign will play. Tons of peasants and and crazy Grail Guardians?

Louen seems a bit OP (?), with all that shit unlocked, +10% movement range while everyone gets only 5% and looks kind of boring, since I've already seen him dozens of times in the Gran Campaign.

the deep thinking goblin sits there, in the back of your head. It sometimes call out on you, gives you a drive, changes your mood.
The deep thinking goblin sometimes comes out when I make a post that is not up to par. It tells me "no, this isnt right". And then the deep thinking goblin comes out with vidya, or tv series and tells me "no, this is boring, do something else"
and then there is nothing that can change that.
The deep thinking goblin even goes further, when you look at a QT girl, and the deep thinking goblin goes like "is she wearing piercings? Are those tattoo's? What the fuck is she eating? Does she look like she is pretty dumb and/or a consumer whore?" And then no matter what, without the deep thinking goblins approval. Nothing works anymore.
The deep thinking goblin forces you to give a cringeworthy smile, to a marketer, work employee or some other person that EVERYONE likes, because the deep thinking goblin tells you that what that person is and does, its shit.
The deep thinking goblin goes out into the city, sees all the humies, knife-ears, fat stunty beards on legs and other assortments of nurgle worshipping retards and tells you "when they smile at you, give them the meanest look you can muster, because they are probably fapping to slaneshi rule 34 trap-porn and accidently saw lewd nurgle fanart. But they didn't close the tab. They stayed. They fapped. And conquered. Vidi Vici Veni ."
and still, this deep thinking goblin is like a god.

>reddit rats

Aren't they pretty much the fantasy version of us?

>The Skaven, sometimes known as the Ratmen, the Ratkin or the Children of the Horned Rat,[1a] are a malevolent and diabolical race of large humanoid rat-creatures that inhabits a massive inter-continental underground empire known in their tongue simply as the Under-Empire,[2j] where at the very heart of Skavendom lies the horrific city of Skavenblight,[2h] the species capital city and the probable birthplace of the Skaven race.[2m] The Skavens as a whole are a cruel, treacherous and highly numerous species that have since spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the Warhammer World. From deep below the earth, these scavengers have built a vast Empire, whose military power and incomprehensible numbers has the potential to smother the kingdoms of the Old World in a seething tide of violence and anarchy... ...they consider themselves the Supreme Master Race, undeniably superior in everyway to all the other races of the World.

>Out of all the mortal civilizations within the greater world, no single race, neither the ruthless Barbarian tribes of the North, nor the savage Greenskins of the East can be compared in terms of instability to that of the Skaven Under-Empire. The Skaven race as a whole is extremely divided, often far more divided then perhaps any other race known in existence.

You are aware that some of these "factions" are shit they literally don't even sell the models for anymore, right?

The factions are meaningless anyway since you can jam anything that's under the same overall banner into the same army.

The factions matter about as much to gameplay as the individual Empire provinces, Dwarf clans, High Elf States etc. mattered to gameplay in WHFB

Except they do, since whenever we get a rulebook for each faction it comes with new unique rules and such for playing exclusively with them.

Lets see, there are 5 Races vs 3 races as DLC in the base game. If you count subfactions, its now 9 factions vs 4 DLC factions. "Over half" my ass.

>>169395735

Helves still got bunch colonies everywhere, they just don't literally own 90% of the world like they used to. Most of Brettonias citie are built on elven ones, which is why they are so fantastical.

I'm kinda curious how they will do the map, because High Elves is definitely the most organized and powerful faction in the warhammer world. They are on a huge fucking island on their own(larger than the empire) with nobody there except them. To the west sit their dickass dark elf cousins who ocassionally raid their shores.

I guess they could go with the endtime story where Malekith is declared the """""rightful""""" Phoenix King, and the high elves are fighting each other while fighting the dark elves who are also fighting each other.

You're talking about armies. He's talking about factions. Armies were split up in to a bunch of dumb factions for trademark purposes; Vampire Counts became DEADWALKERS, DEATHMAGES, DEATHRATTLE, FLESH EATER COURTS, NIGHT HAUNT, SOULBLIGHT, and DEATH LORDS.

I'm ready for you

>>169398363

>>169398189

There are 59 "Factions" listed for AoS, out of which 25, that is, almost half, don't even have more than 5 units listed.

Hell if we take the absolute most anemic faction for Warhammer Fantasy, Bretonnia, they had 17 units, only 5 of the factions in AoS reach that same number.

Actually counting these groupings as being "Factions" in their own right is completely disingenuous, at best they're simply guidelines for playing theme armies and many of them consist entirely of a single kind of unit (like cavalry) or even just single characters, like someone would field an entire army of Death Mages despite the "faction" consisting entirely of the Mortis Engine and the Necromancer Lord.

It's like claiming that every single Space Marine chapter in 40k is it's own faction.

>>169398489

>>169398663
Historically the Dark Elves have used the capital city of their ancient homeland in the sunken regions of Nagarythe (from whence Naggaroth gets its name) as their base when launching an invasion of Ulthuan.

CA will just stick a dark elf city there and they'll be attacking northern Ulthuan at game start, with more dark elves pouring in from Naggaroth.

Arnheim on the coast of Naggaroth will provide the High Elves a base to launch a counter-invasion of Naggaroth.

It's pretty simple stuff 2bh.

Bretonnia doesn't have that many lords and they clearly wanted to have a lord at the top, in the middle and at the bottom of the country so you can start ANYWHERE and get the full range of enemies that Bretonnia has to face.

Alberic's armor is unique and I doubt you're really all that buttblasted that he doesn't have a trident.

>>169398942
Bitch please, that's nothing compared to forge world prices.

>>169399201
Maybe so, but naval battles in rome 2 and attila are still very weird and unfun. Also, the actual navies of classical europe did not have dedicated missile ships, melee ships, ramming ships, and artillery ships. Rather all ships were capable of the four aforementioned things to lesser or greater effect. I genuinely cannot wait for ancient wars to be finished, really.

They should have given Alberic a trident instead of shield and sword

They just could used the Chosen skeleton for him instead of the generic empire captain

Except you can see at 7:15 that the foot squires charged right into the flank of that dwarf unit. Shock horror, unit with flank charge wins. And every other time the squires won in this battle was with the help of other units (including once with a rear charge by louen on his hippogryph, but no, that dwarf unit getting wiped out was all about the foot squires in his narration).

It's shit to have a setting you like be replaced by a setting you don't like.

Kinda shit that you know the old models you can still use will be fucked over soon.

Kinda shit that even if the new setting is young and can become good later on, it has a very shitty premise which makes me not optimistic about it at all even if I have a open mind about the whole thing.

> tfw Bassinets are confirmed in the trailer, so everyone isn't stuck wearing the same bucket helm with a different ornaments now

It tickled my autism that in a land of individual knights and households, everyone was wearing the same fucking helmet.

I've gotten Sigvald three times in a row now, I swear if I get him again I'll rap Slaanesh

Bretonnia are looking a bit to strong, foot squires cost almost 200 less than great-swords and only lose by a tiny margin, they also beat forsaken 1v1.

Bret have now got better infantry than most factions aside from Dwarfs, and the best cav in the game.

Knights of the realm are now cheap anti-large cav, no one else can even field cav against them since they have so many options and superior cav.
