I see marauder horsemen(throwing axes) have finally got their RoF adjusted.
>>170377349
Do I accept? It'd be nice to take a hot second to re-establish good relations with my allies, but at the same time I am way, way stronger then they are (I think).
Didn't CA give modders the tools for implementing campaign maps?

Holy shit, I managed to get the French to give me trade rights and Calais for a ceasefire. Also, the rebels in Chester sallied, so its time for a fight.
>>170381083
I'm not gonna lie, I had no idea if they would accept for not, but I'm gonna take this temporary peace and build my forces and let the Black Prince learn some shit.
>>170381202
With unit icons for comparison. Damn this was chaotic.
Should I bother seizing Gorssel after taking Marienburg or is the increase border I have to protect not worth owning a full province?
Could anyone recommend some good tutorials for PFM?
I just want to swap some peasant bodies.
So wood elves lost everything but the oak of ages, now they are refusing to raise armies, is that on purpose?

>>170382903
That army got into a fight with 3 stacks of chaos and it retreated and I needed it back in the fight wiithin two turns.
Chaos fucked everything north of zufbar.
>>170381308
Don't bother. Marienburg is a pure money province and Nordland will almost always finish off Marienburg for you while providing a nice buffer zone to Skaeling fucks before Chaos arrives
>>170381308
>>170383003
Take it and put up walls in there. No reason not to, it's basically free money.
>>170382525
Huh, well, looks like the Isle of Man is a province as well? Another free region!
>>170383003
take Gossel build the saltmine, garrison building and send some shitty general there with 10 units and chaos/viking shitters won't be able to take it
>>170381308
I let Nordland hold it for a bit and then the poopoos razed it. I recolonized it after.
>>170381446
Resettling costs money. The Oak of Ages doesn't give enough alone to support an army (or if it does it's by a strand) so Orion is probably in the negatives.
Try bathing him in gold, see if that helps

What faction did you have the most fun with /twg/?
>>170383762
Dwarfs.
They have a comfy grand campaign and aside from Grimgor, you can grush orcs and gobbos all of the day.

Vlad or Gelt.
>>170383849
I just wish their campaign wasn't so bad.
Playing as a roving band of viking demon knights should feel a lot more fun than it is.
been watching a bunch of online matches and I notice players string out their melee units as long as possible, like 3 men deep strings
since people are using it competitively I'm assuming this works?
are there no drawbacks to this except cavalry charges?

You want the enemy to charge his cav anyway, the one who commits first gets countered and loses.

There is Vermintide in humble bundle if anyone is interested.
Also fuck elves. I barely managed to sack and raze Waterfall Palace with Durthu inside it as Bretonnia, and in the next turn Torgovann slapped my ass. Elven genocide is much harder as Bretonnia than when i was Empire and Mousillon.
>>170383762

>>170384956
Holding something in place. I used the Tattersouls plus Volkmar and put them in front of my line, which was otherwise just regular swordsmen and handgunners in triplex acies (meme formation). The flagellants would pin at least 3 units of infantry about 20m in front of my line, the swordsmen would eat the rest of the charge and the handgunners would finish them off. They'd often die, but since they were a RoR you could just recruit them again instantly the next turn.
>he thinks The Lady is a real deity

Proof right there that's ze Lady is always watching.
>>170382087
Use just the (building buffed) garrison and they will attack pretty often after building some siege equipment. You should win almost every time. Dwarfs are particularly good at this because the basic units are good.

>>170386896
I don't have a dog because doggophobia.
That said, Bretonnia vs Vampire Cunts.
>>170386892
unless you're doing really well they're too expensive to rush for, good to have later on though.
>>170386696
Good but don't expect them to win in melee against anything tier 3 and above with armor piercing.

>>170387261
giant rats are a myth you poofter
>>170381534
Well I mean they've got phat asses so they probably got big donkey dicks to match. Definitely the most homoerotic race.
>>170387390
Great cannons, REIKSGUARD KNIGHTS and maybe a unit or two of the blazing sun knights, a lore of life or light wizard, great sworders. Work up to Demi knights and tanks.
>>170387424
Are you implying I go around disemboweling doggos out of fear or something?Slav.
>>170387175
they can't destroy your tanks if they can't reach them
>>170387390
great cannons are shit compared to mortars, because they are only good against massive targets like Giants. i'd suggest you focus on doublehand-floppyhats, reiksguard and handgunners with firework thrower
>>170387390
>Mortars
>Bad
They still do good damage, and their firing arc lets them hit shit that's hiding behind a wall. They also do good aoe, and will tear a chunk out of tight formations and clumped units. That being said, great cannons are better in field battles, since they have higher damage and greater range. Their aoe is worse, but their accuracy makes up for it easily.
>>170387627
>firework thrower
But that arty is absolute shit
>>170387390
>>170387503
pretty much what this guy said, I like the 1 cannon/1 mortar combo for artillery needs, 3-4 handgunners, whatever heroes you want, and the rest as greatswords/reiksguard. mortars are godly once you have greatswords who can actually hold off a ton of units into a big clump.
>>170387503
>a unit or two of blazing sun knights
They're a tier 5 unit you fucking dunce. Most players will have unlocked every other unit before getting Talabheim to a level 5 settlement.

>Thinking the firework gun is shit.
The only competition it has is the helblaster, and even then it performs exceedingly well against unarmored targets. Greenskins, Norscans, and Vampires are more vulnerable than other factions to it.
>>170387748
>>170387930
Speaking of they did buff the volley gun right? As in literally doubled how much ammo it barfs out a volley right?
>>170387698
ok fireworks are mostly situational, but midgame you mostly fight either other empire provinces or vampire, and they have mostly light armored units like swordsmen or skelingtons, and against them you'll have a good time with firework or spinnyshooty gun
>>170387930
It's not great in woods though. And since like 90% of Empire territory is forested this severely gimps its effectiveness.

What are the advantages of a ballista over a cannon?
>>170383815
DIS STINKS
>>170387997
Yeah, it went from 9 to 18 shots per volley. It melts anything it shoots at, if it has a good firing angle.
>>170388031
I will admit that trees hamper it's effectiveness, but when it's not getting blocked, it's a strong artillery piece. Sylvania and the Badlands are short on foliage, so I think it's still worth bringing.
>>170388031
All artillery is shit if you factor in trees nignog, you'd be better off arguing for not taking artillery at all if you're gonna bother with a shit argument like that.
>>170388120

I'm not sure that'd happen. The Lady might be a part of the elven pantheon, but she's not just some random elven bint who decided to string the bretons along. She turned her back on the elves because they were shitheels and instead granted her favour to the bretons and took their leader for her fuckbuddy.
If anything, it might bolster relations between the High Elves and the brets.

You only need artillery just to force the enemy towards you really, at that point i would rather have something that works well against walls / giant creatures rather than another trash removal service that can be handled way more efficiently by another unit of quarrelers

How's the new version of SF:O?
Alright lads I've run into a bit of a problem. I want this province to be my military production center because of the iron it has, but unfortunately I need 5 building slots in the capital just for the military recruitment/upgrades alone (city inf, city cav, armor/weapon/fletching upgrades). This means that I will be unable to have the iron/sanitation building in the capital if I want to be able to recruit my full roster w/ upgrades. Do I go ahead with this province as the military one despite the fact that it won't be able to produce iron/give me the recruitment capacity/cost bonuses that the ironworks chain gives, or do I look for another province to be my military province, turning taxation back on for this one and repurposing the buildings

how possible is it to get to kraka drak with empire or berts so you can trade with them from their port and use them as a buffer for chaos? how big of a stack would you need to station there for protection?
>>170380584
soon enough
>>170390897
Why bother with the upgrades? Honestly I've never noticed the little bonuses being useful enough to warrant a building slot.

>>170391286
>he doesn't like the shiny gold icons on his units
you might have a point, although the question is which of the 3 to drop. I would assume the himyar would benefit the least from the ammo one, but unfortunately that chain is needed to recruit onagers
>>170391469
you might need to wait a turn for the item to actually equip, or you might be recruiting in the wrong area. Desert spears also count as levy units for the bonuses from the desert factions' tech tree, so the bonus may not even apply to them

My efforts to destabilize egypt have worked even better than originally expected - Berenice has fallen to a group of rebels, and soon the gold producing town of oxyrhynchus may suffer a similar fate - if that happens, egypt will become the economic center of my fast growing empire, and we will have secured it without declaring war on the ERE

Hadn't played Warhammer in a while but what broken retarded shit did they give the Crooked Moon faction? I got dragged into a fight that wouldn't allow reinforcements and their leader cast some ability that seems to have literally routed my entire army from full morale. I was stomping their shit in then suddenly 'nope lol u lose cuz goblins or something'. I'm really disliking the whole 'hero' unit thing. Wish generals were just a slightly better unit not one that could solo armies.

Alright anons. I need help.
I've completed legendary as the Dorfs the empire, the beastmemes and the undead. I mostly seem to know what I'm doing with them I would think.
I am having the most enormous trouble with the brets on the battlefield.
I get that my infantry are shit. I get that I'm meant to be using cavalry and lining up charges. I can already hammer and anvil. I just seem to...suck.
I'm doing fine on the big map but if I take to the field I seem to get phyrric victories at best. Please talk bretonnia to me?
I'm playing as (in my third attempt) Carcassone. At turn 25 my economy is strong enough to support 4 knights of the realm, some peasant shit and the starting army. Also with a paladin. Yes I am using the spells from both the lady and the other chick to buff and heal. I just don't get it.
I've fought beastmemes, orcs and welves so far.
I'm playing on VH VH
Plz halp
>>170395235

I glanced over the OP and didn't find any guide for new rts players. Anyone know of any beginner guides and shit for Warhammer?
>>170395235
Well I beat Legendary Bretonnia as Bordelaux. I focused on making my economy strong in one provicne before confederating another so I could pay for better armies. Fighting elves is overall bad idea. They have just better infantry and most units are anti large and armor piercing. So don't fight them if you are not forced. Even during war they mostly stay in forest ( i played 4 campagins as Brets already).
>>170395235
Intresting Brets dont seem so hard, I have big time problems with Orcs on Legendary as Grimgor.
>>170395578
I'm grateful anon but I'm doing mostly ok on the big map. It's the actual tactical battles I'm having enormous trouble with and I don't like autoresolving good fights.
>>170395823
The fuck are you on about
>>170395763
Yeah I was speaking more about world map. So with who you had most problems in battles ? Or with everyone.. ?
>>170395885
>>170395730
I think and feel like I must be retarded. Again the big map is going fine it's the actual battles.
I'm following the usual plan vs the AI. Using my trebuchet to bait them. Then archers to trim them down a bit. My infantry I try to engage with whatever is a sensible match up and my cav go round the sides and try to collapse their line. Then they just...melt.
Or the peasant scum all rout despite the ladies LD bubble.
It's insanely galling as I know I could trash these fucks as empire and atomize them as Dorfs.
What are the best uses of Empire agents? Should I hold off on recruiting battle wizards until I build the college in Reiksland for the bonus rank ups, and how many of each should I realistically need
Did they ever change confederation with other legendary lords? Before if I was Grimgor for example and confederated with skarsnik, and then skarsnik died, he died for good and was treated as a regular lord in that regard instead of being immortal like other LLs. Is it still like that or did they fix it?
>>170395530

I am not sure what to say. To be honest I used only shit tier infantry and tried to smash enemies with countless cycle-charging and focusing enemy lord if possible. In my Legendary campagin I didnt had bigger problems. In early turns I mostly had peaceful days only some greenskin or beastman horde. Beastmans are weak as long as you can take down their lord. If not I am trying to bait Minotaurs if they are any(there are always Minotaurs) with my lorde on horse and then pepper them with arrows and strike them with some anti-large cav mostly Knights of the realm. It's good to have Paladin to help with taking down enemy lord fast. If you have lorde of Life this Dmg+Slow spell is good if you can catch multiple or even one unit and then focus it with cav so they can't respond with fast counter charge.
>>170396381
So they're no good for assassination or in battle?

I don't know how you use them but I found Grail Guardians really good. In my hard campagin I menage to defeat Red Duke and 19 skeleton units with just:
2 battle pilgrims 2 spears Magic treb Fay Enchantress and Grail guardians oh and 3 bowman.
Your army seems normal it shouldnt be that hard to beat them. Orcs are pussies same for beastman with easly breaking morale. You have 3 lords/heroes focus theirs and try to charge them from the back. If that's not possible you can even try charging from the side of your infantry to help them survive for a little longer.

the payment to the burgundian chief may seem monumental to a simpleton such as him, but it is an insignificant for the Himyar to pay, especially when considering the economic potential of the region they are preventing us from acquiring.

We're finally at the gates of Ireland. I've got three armies chasing down the Scottish stack by Norfolk, and I'm 90% sure the French are getting ready to attack me in Gascony. In any case, the Black Prince has a full stack and boy is he ready to move the fuck outta there

In Warhammer? They're waiting for siege equipment 100% of the time. The issue is that the AI often thinks it needs so much that your guys are starved out. Consider the techs and skills that increase siege holdout time. Agents are very useful for this.

no

if you want them to attack faster dl a mod that makes it faster to build siege equipment, as that is typically what they are doing

Yes. Fire guys are amazing for siege defense, and torpedoes are fucking GREAT in literally every situation. Seriously, try them out. I put a line of them behind my Ironbreakers and just watch the enemy units get fucking pulped by 100+ damage missile fire.

I have these long freeze hitches on the campaign map anytime the battle deployment screen pulls up, anytime my turn is about to start, or when I raze a city.

Welves will always give you trouble due to ai archer micro and the wealth log anti large. I would bring less archers (Bret archers aren't good) and bring more cav. Remember Kights of the Reeeem have anti large whereas Errants and Questing have anti-infantry so you may want some of them when facing infantry heavy stacks
can't speak much for orcs because i never fought much of them. Beasties shouldn't be too difficult apart from Minos, you need to these guys with multiple KotR to break them asap. Don't try kiting them as they move super fast. Once you get Pegasus knights you can stop worrying about monsters as the will obliterate them on the charge
>>170404776
So they confederate each other and you get their LLs right?
>>170403562
Alright, I'm pretty much done waiting around. The Black Prince hungers, and this is as good as he's gonna get without actual battles, so its time to let him off the leash. We're gonna make our way across the coast through to Caen, then regroup and see where to go from there.
>>170404883
Sort of. You can get whichever LL's they have alive at that moment.
IE: If you're playing as Vlad and confed into Mannlet with Mannlet and Helmann acting as lords to armies, you can keep them but you can't recruit Kemmler.

BP moves from Abbeville and heads to Clairmont, a secondary objective. Originally, I was just gonna go full north coast, but Clairmont is an actual castle that can put together a force that squashes mine in like three turns. I bypass Arras, I go to Clairmont, I replenish my troops and I maybe even push on to Paris.
Over in Caen, Courtenay has an opportunity to draw the garrison out by attacking a local force. If I can take Caen right here, I gain a massive foothold in France.if i take Paris soon I might ditch this campaign for a different faction on a higher difficulty, as i feel i have some kind of grasp on the campaign

Interesting that Crumpets 2 was Bretonnia....
Crumpets has been indevelopment as long as Bretonnia way back April 2016 even more so...could Crumpets be the first expansion?
Bagels and Bamboo were added around the time of Bretonnia's announcement late last year.
Those Promo's seem new aswell and the encryption from the bottom one was removed. 1.48mb sounds like a unit.
Promo DLCA. Promo DLCB were added in January 2017. A two part promo sounds strange.
Perhaps a competition we get one or the other for free based on votes and the other paid for?

Auto-resolve at Clairmont as it wasn't going to any fun to fight a battle already won.
So, with Clairmont taken, the French are now seriously hurting on castles in the north, meaning they either rely on mercs or do some recruiting in the south. In either case, I have a little breathing room to regroup and retrain BP's army, and maybe peel some factions away from France's alliance network.
>>170380763
Fixed.
>>170412247
in his defense, at least mannfred has the swagger to ride a fucking dragon.
i'm still pissed at the utter lack of dragons.
Zombies genocide is fun!
>>170412490
I'm fairly sure this was held by Navarre at one point, but now it is rebel, and so it is mine.
Near Calais, I have one stack retraining inside the castle and a second has landed to move on to Amiens, which I bypassed for Clairmont. Unless the HRE or Aragon come rolling in to fuck me, I'm confident I can wrap this up pretty soon.
why does not taxing my people reduce my recruitment slots by 1?
Is it harder to cheese minor settlement sieges than major? Noticed that in minor settlements they all tend to cluster in the victory point rather than come piece meal so you can tear them apart.
>>170413215
it's an unwanted son tax
>>170412806
Cherbourg has been taken, but I've got my eyes on the real prize, here. There are larger French armies moving toward Clairmont and Abbeville, looking to take them back or at least bottle up my forces.
They're leaving Paris with one unit garrisoning it.
I can abandon Cherbourg and load up my army there, then use that fleet to sail down the Seine and take Paris in a lightning attack. It wouldn't end the war then and there, but by god would it spite those fucking French.
>>170413630
Since its been a while, here's a state of the world!
Looks like nothing has changed! Savoy and the Spanish factions are completely useless, while Burgundy ever so slowly crawls towards Switzerland. The HRE and Flanders are doing jack all as well, and Navarre is too scattered to do anything anyway.

1-2 spear/halberds to defend your rear and flank, depending on how many Calvary they're bringing in.
Demogryphs with halberds lets you offensively take on enemy cavalry and monsters with ease. They murder large units.
Also I would personally bring a wizard too, or something that can do magic damage . The wraiths really only take magic damage.
Also anti infantry cavalry is pretty limited for undead. They don't have the archers or siege that anti infantry Calvary is best used for. You can skill kill skeletons + zombies a bit quicker with them, however.
>>170414342

>>170419150
Just stay unsiege and go into ambush. Your army will disappear from the enemy and you can pick out the stack using lighting strike

I use my cav to try and distract elements of their forces before the main lines clash, a divide and conquer strat. and hen I hammer and anvil.
Though my mid and late game armies will rarely use peasants since the mobility of cavalry can allow true horsefuckery.
>>170419231
I'm not far enough in the game for lightning strike
and I can just go to ambush stance right in front of them? how does detection of an ambushing army work?
>>170417638
So would 6 Greatswords, 2 Halberdiers, 4 ranged units, 2 Reiksguard, 2 Halberd demigryph, the mortar and cannon, and a wizard be decent?
>>170419332
Yes you can just go into ambush right outside their city. Detection has a base percent that is increased by Lord skills I think
>>170419424
That sounds fine
>>170419332
Go into ambush mode.
either just inside their army's range but in a forest while leaving your closest town undefended. they might try to move out to take it and get caught in the ambush.
alternatively you can do it right near your town so that if your ambush fails and they can still reach your town you can reinforce (depends on the terrain you have to ambush in forest for best effect)
but really if you're just starting out its best to rush some settlements early on and do a lot of fighting to level up your lord and weaken or eliminate your neighbors
Ambush stance solves 90% of the problems most people have with the campaign map. (i.e. enemies constantly running away) and until you get lightning stirke is the only way to pick apart a much larger enemy force.
>>170418798
here you are you fuckinglovable person

For some reason i'm getting more close and fun battles as Bretonia. I even get castle defences from time to time.

This must be the 4th fucking rebellion I've spawned here, every time one happens they end up losing the battle to take the roman settlement. The fucking romans aren't even making use of the gold resource, they don't have the building built to reap the sweet sweet money from it.
And now because of my improved research rate, the bad side of Attila diplomacy is rearing its head. Because I have researched so many techs, my imperium is very high, which makes every faction in the game have a large negative diplo modifier despite not even having any interactions with me. This is causing a problem with trade, as I don't have enough trade agreements to export all of my gems/spices, which are my 2 most valuable trade resources

The Ashum have pavise shields, and those allow them to take fire from kurdish/mounted archers and not suffer too much from it, allowing them to survive into the late portions of the battle and use their flaming arrows to great effect vs the diamond-loving ai cataphracts, like they did here.

>>170386223
Fuckboi Araloth seems likely because he's so low effort, being a standard gladelord who is also a special snowflake.
Drycha would be fucking neat though just because she's Durthu on steroids. People think he's tree hitler? He ain't got shit on Drycha.
>>170436112
I would really much want to see Wildwood as a separate, "evil", faction with Drycha and Coedill fucking Wood Elves' shit up
>>170436112
>she's Durthu on steroids
She is small angry bitch, not giant mad tree man.
What's a good Ork army comp?
>>170436270
In terms of attitude, dumbass.
And it's birch, not bitch.
about to do a chaos campaign, whats the best lord, archaon?
>>170436112
Reposting because I can't spellcheck for shit
Wouldn't that make both of them redundant? We already have Orion to be a Glade Lord on steroids (minus the mount) and Durthu to be a treehitler.
Would be nice to get someone that can stand apart from the current legendary lords, like Ariel or the twins.
>>170436429
Drycha is a literal tree hitler in terms of attitude, she isn't actually similar to Durthu in terms of gameplay as she's a Branchwraith. But her hatred of all things living? She makes Durthu look like a buddhist monk by comparison.
>>170434967
>who probably would corrupt a human just looking at it
Isn't that more a 40k chaos thing?
I don't know much about the warhammer lores, but it seems chaos is more manageable in fantasy compared to 40k
>>170436568
buddhists used to slaughter foreigners who tried to enter Tibet (their peacefulness is more of a new shtick, much like chistianity's, really), so it's a good comparison
>>170436429
And we got Belegar Ironhamz instead of Thorek Ironbrow, I don't think a lord occupying a similar niche to an existing one is going to stop CA.
I'd love to see Ariel, especially if we got generic Spellweaver lords alongside her, which would pretty much complete the Wood Elf roster, but I don't see her as very likely. And I think I would actually prefer Drycha, because you could do interesting things with her - similar to the Knight vows for Bretonnian lords, give her bonuses to upkeep for all forest spirit unit armies with huge upkeep maluses to "humanoid" troops, etc.
>>170436673
They still do in Myanmar
>>170436673
Yes. Drycha doesn't even have that veneer. That is why I used the comparison.
Hell, Buddhist monks are still assholes, they discriminate against/murder minority religions in Burma/Myanmar.
>>170436568
I won't question you on the lore since I only became interested in it after the game's release.
That said, I was thinking more gameplay wise. Unless she's a radical departure from Durthu's design of 'melee-monster-with-token-magic' then I'm worried she isn't going to stand out much. Personally I would like a new LL to either be entirely magic focused (Ariel) or introduced something entirely (their resurrection mechanic).
But as
>>170436692
said, CA will most likely just pick a LL that they can reuse mechanics for and dress it up differently.
>>170436823
Both of those are me.
As a Branchwraith she'd be more magic focused than Durthu, and her army/leadership skills would really set her apart.
But if we get another WE LL it'll be Araloth, without a doubt, because he's so low effort. Which fucking sucks, I'd rather have Ariel (and Spellweavers! Because seriously, that would complete the generic roster for the WE, near enough), Drycha, the Sisters of Twilight... anyone other than Fuckboi.
>>170436823
>or introduced something entirely (their resurrection mechanic).
Fuck me, I can't write at all today. I'm talking about the twins here if it wasn't already obvious. I also prefer them because their dragon mount looks sick af
>>170436591
in general yes, but stuff like banners, books and the like can still corrupt at first sight, or almost
the banner of Valnir, a notorious chaos lord, could deceive most people with promises of glory when they just looked at it and corrupt / mind control them if they touched it

>>170436823
in tabletop her shtick was to appear out of the forest and fuck things up. also she used Shadow magic, unlike other Branchwraiths
so she could probably get some sort of ability to teleport from forest to forest with her dryads on the battlefield. maybe once per battle or something?
If I raze this shit, would Zhufbar colonise it at some point? Or should I just sack the greenshits and let them take over that way?
>>170436965
Fair enough. I wouldn't be upset if they gave us a branchwraith LL if they can distinguish her from Durthu enough, I'd play her campaign. Just not a second Orion. We already have a LL that offers great melee and range in one package, we don't need another.
>>170437071
I mean, the opening video for TWWH even has a... Celestial Wizard? being corrupted by a tome he's turning to in an attempt to save the Empire.
>>170437218
The only thing they could do to save Araloth is to give him his hawk, Skaryn, in the same way that Skarsnik has Gobbla.
He'd still be shit, but he'd be a bit less shit.
so why does Durthu always shittalk Orion, aren't they on the same side? even when I had good relations with him
>>170437428
Durthu fucking hates Elves.
>>170437428
Durthu dislikes the Wood Elves, he feels (probably rightly) that the Wood Elves predations of the surrounding lands causes the incursions into Athel Loren by the various races, and invariable it is the trees (and thus the forest spirits) that suffer the brunt of these incursions.
Orion is about the worst representative of that being the embodiment of the Wild Hunt.

I SAY WHAT WHAT
>>170437775
She's a lord choice in TT, unless that's what you meant by "hero" choice.
You had to field an army exclusively of Forest Spirits if you went with her.
Why don't goblin shamans have squig mounts

>>170437913
Still sore that the Empire doesn't have Amethyst Wizards in TWWH.
>>170437982
nor Metal ones, besides Gelt
>>170437982
Is there any confirmation that they'll never get one?
I really want the Empire to get their two missing Wizards
>>170438038
That's true, but I guess Gelt is so useless that they don't want him to have any competition.
But an Econ-focused Wizard class would be neat, Empire could use the help.
>>170438038
No one would use the poor bastard otherwise.
>>170438059
With two expansions/sequels coming down the pipe anything is possible. There will almost certainly be a magic rework in the future.
>>170438059
No confirmation one way or another, but the lack of new heroes on the FLC chart doesn't bode well.
That and I believe they've said that other than the Old Friend, they're moving to focus exclusively on the next game in the trilogy.

>>170437840
oh shit anon musta been an older edition you are reffering to., I actually play the tabletop still and my gf actually has drycha(8th ed)
anyway I suppose whether she is a lord or hero choice is irrelevant due to issabella being made a lord.
in 8th ed she lets you deploy d3 forest spirits 'in'forest terrain around the map that you roll to wake up at the end of movement phase 1,2 fails 3-6 wakes up.
she's also a lvl 2 shadow caster r and gets 2+ attacks every time she suffers an unsaved wound(and starts with 4) so she hits like a brick shithouse when she's mad.
>>170438138
If the next game is New World/Ulthuan focused, then a magic rework is mandatory.
Lizardmen pretty much depend on magic being useful, and HE/DE both use a LOT of magic too.
>>170438138
What do you mean "magic rework"?
Do you mean it will change how magic works?
Or that it will solve a lot of problem as if by magic?
Or that it will such a difficult and arduous task that everyone will think there was magic involved?
>>170438350
Fuck off the "Grey," you're never around when we need you bitch.I mean solving the problems with the current system for example, not taking unit size settings into account. I wouldn't discount the other two options however.

CHIVALRY
>>170438897
Grom will definitely appear in the next expansion if it involves the High ElvesHopefully anyway
Just to be sure that I'm doing this right. Most Undead units have low leadership, and when they lose leadership they start to crumble and rapidly die. Heroes and Lords have Auras that allow them to share their increased Leadership with their minions, so killing the Hero/Lord is super important. If you kill that guy, will everything else start to crumble immediately, or do I have to force the units to panic before they crumble?

Because they sell the most.
I used to like Chaos back in the day because fuck yeah, vikings. But then GW started making them more and more mary sue, which culminated with the End Times.
And that pisses me off. Back on ye olden days there was a stalemate between Chaos and everyone else, but with each edition they kept adding more and more powercreep. Then we have the absolute shitfest which was the Storm of Chaos, where Chaos lost so fucking hard that GW had to retcon the results and say;
>yeah chaos was beaten BUT they techincally won anyway :^)
It also happens in 40k constantly. Know Abbaddon? That humongous failure? The writers had to actually retcon his crusades and say they were part of a grander plan or some shit. The writers cannot handle the mere thought that Chaos can lose a fight, so they always backpedal somehow to make it look like they won.
I fucking hate Chaos. And Games Workshop.
>>170440273
The bits about chaos ultimately winning were in the fluff since before chaos got split into three army books, something like two decades ago. Just say that you hate chaos, you don't have to justify it.

>>170439581
The Greenskins armybook has the whole story of his rise and fall
Cliff-notes: Gobbo is dared to eat troll meat which would normally result in exploding from the inside as the meat regenerates itself but miraculously he manages to metabolize it at the same rate it expands causing him to grow to great size, he then uses his newfound strength to start gathering tribes and eventually wages a very successful war on the Empire, conquering as far as Nuln where he gets lazy and starts just sitting around on a pile of riches and watching chariot races. After a while of this his orcs start to abandon him, but before he's completely fucked his chief shaman has a vision from Gork&Mork telling him to get on with it which scares Grom so much that he immediately gathers up his guys and makes for the ocean, only stopping at Middenheim to quickly invade and steal the wood of the Great Temple of Ulric to make a new Chariot as his old one broke. He then gets to the coast and orders his lads to start making boats, which they do. He then sets sail for Ulthuan and invades the home of the elves and almost succeeds in fucking up at least one big city, but some guys come and save it and an old scary elf is really pissed off and drags Grom into the mountains to torture him to death. The invasion also pisses off the elves so much that they sail to the continent and do a gobbo holocaust which is why gobbos are so scared of elves to this day.
>>170440558
which leads to a hilarious chapter in elven history.
Eltharion the Grim, whose city Grom has attacked, gathers an army, sets sail for Old World and goes full brazzers on greenskin arses, intent to slaughter each and every greenskin this side of World's Edge Mnts.
buuuut, the more he kills them, the more greenskins attack next time. soon he found out that orcs heard there's this ded fighty elf who gives all boyz a noice tough fightin', so greenskins were flowing from all over Old World to fight with him
he decided "Fuck it", fucked off back to Tol Yvresse and get on with fortifying it, in case greenskins ever decide to set sail to Ulthuan again
