WE'S DOGGOS!

Playing as Fey Enchantress on VH/H. I've only played as Bretonnia once before (LL is love, LL is life) but I let the stinking Wood Elves be and they fucked me later on with a birch tree. I want to take them out stat, how do I best do this? I'm on turn 22, Greenskin invasions have just ended and the Beastmen are dead to boot. It's time, but how do I shit on my heritage and kill those stupid hippies?

Dirty old man! Mannfred would never cheat on his wife! Too bad there isn't a single woman in the setting who'd find his bald manlet ass attractive

So I love me some dwarfs, but once I start fighting Vamps things get fucky. I am not really sure how to deal with their cavalry, terror, and large units. Copters don't seem to do a whole lot, honestly, maybe I am using them wrong. They always have so many it's impossible to protect my ranged units or cannons. What do I do?

Posted too soon. Slayers, use them to fuck monsters and cav. In addition, them being unbreakable means they ignore fear/terror outright. Keep a unit near your missiles/artillery and slayers should be able to sweep anything threatening them.

Stop stopping.

>>171201124
longbeards are immune to psychology, and ranged units are your best bet to counter monsters. Things like varghulfs/vargheists/crypt horrors are much larger than your dwarfs, which allows quarrelers to shoot them even when they are engaged with your front line. Cav is problematic, but cannons can absolutely devastate them from range, and if you get enough shots off whatever infantry you have should be able to handle them. As far as protecting your ranged units, slayers do wonders, and your quarrelers should be able to handle themselves againsts bats/any raised units

Why is Chaos so shit lads? I had 2 Chosen, 4 Mauraders and some normal Warhounds and Forsaken in Sigvald's army but they all died except from the 2 Chosen units and Sigvald who could've single handily killed their entire army, or what was left of it.

But they routed due to muh army losses and muh spoopy fear and terror.

My main doomstack of Chosen and Archaon are in vampire land razing as they go, but how the hell am I supposed to build a 2nd army without it getting rekt halfway through?

I could just give some Chosen to Sigvald and then recruit more with Archaon but then the upkeep will be so fucking high.

Should I bother building multiple armies or just zerg everything with my 20 man doomstack of Chosen and Archaon?

Marauders are so fucking garbage holy shit.

>>171203789
Minotaurs are bretty gud, they look awesome and they add a nice brute force tanks, some of their other units are pretty good as well. If you only care about fun and not lore it's better to use a mod that adds beastmen to another faction, then play that faction as their campaign and play style is somewhat lackluster. The units themselves are fucking awesome, but many wouldn't consider it based on the prime. If you do want to play a beastmen campaign there's also plenty of mods to expand the roster anyway.

>>171204345
That is objectively wrong.

Question to WH buffs;

Are Kislevites like real Russians/Asiatic/steppe peoples? This game seems to take place during some era around the late 1400s and has a touch of 30 years war, do the Kislevites have an army resembling the Muscovites at the time? do they have something resembling Strelets/use similar tactics to Streltsy? (pic related)

They carried around large wooden boards which they took cover behind, supposedly could block bullets at long range, Strelets also used Pole arms and axes to aim their matchlocks instead of support sticks like most Europeans.

I think you can refund it, there should be a option like "bought it some time ago and now there's a sale".

>>171210967
Yes, as a matter of fact they do have Streltsi, with two handed bardiches and all. The also have polish cavalry, some mongol-tatar units (who are called "Ungols", as opposed to main Kislevite nationality "Gospodars"). Kislev even has it's own St. Petersburg, it's also built in a shitty swamp that no one likes.

>>171211428
Why can't we get a "Keep prisoners around" kind of option?

Like you could either send them off to a camp or drag them with your army and abide by geneva rules of war instead of being cornered into either being a cuck or being a savage war criminal

alternatively why can't we send prisoners to some rehab center and turn them to our side, or cure undead (or even learn to get along, you know). Or even sell those prisoners to our local slavers?

>>171207468
Give me a faction

>>171211721
I reckon Dark Elves will have that, though I don't get why Orcs don't have that option already, they keep slaves to build shit

>>171211721
You don't do that with prisoners anon, you just assign a few to every soldier and have all their throats slit in a couple of minutes.

Kislevites are made of two distinct ethnic groups.

>Gospodars
Polish-Lithuanian with Tsarist Russian influences. Renowned for heavy winged cavalry, the Gospodar Boyars rule the various Kislevite oblasts with their streltsi and kossars. The ruler of Kislev is Tsarina Katarina, an ethnic Gospodar and renowned ice witch, using a wind of magic unique to Kislev.

>Ungols
Asiatic/Slavic/Turkic steppe peoples. Migratory mounted warriors famed for their skirmishing abilities, they're basically the Huns, Mongols, Scythians, and so on. All smashed together in one generic homogeneous ethnicity, they migrate throughout the various oblasts, eking out a nomadic existence in the frozen steppe.

I hope that makes sense. I'm super tired.

Todbringer finally manages to kill Khazrak, shortly before he's torn apart by the rest of the bray. Other than that they don't really make much of an appearance. Beastie boys were a footnote even in the death of the setting.

Where the fuck is "Gift Territory"? Could even do something like razing cities you can't hold like mountain settlements as humans, to be used a bargaining chip. For example the greenskin settlement near the Empire starting position, could gift it to Karak Norn or other factions.

You didn't exactly bring a good comp against them. You have literally 0 anti-large, which is why their cavalry and monsters tore through your lines like butter.

>>171224435
To be fair mannlet brought a real army instead of 10 skeleton spears and 8 zombies.

>>171224435
Are you late game?
If you are you should not be using quarrelers against VC. Their AP on the units that matter far outways any usefulness that the quarrelers hold. You will also find that since they use a multitude of aerial monsters that the slow and inaccurate crossbow bolts fail to damage their flying and larger infantry before they can rack up all the damage they're doing.

Your thunderers should be your first line to intercept their armour, large creatures and massed infantry with no exceptions. Their AP and similar damage to quarrelers should easily knock 20 - 30% of their total health and numbers by the time they reach your front line. By then you should have withdraw them into your anvil, focus more on anti-infantry dwarfs and leave cavalry as priority to machines, cannons and ranged weapons.

Irondrakes are only useful on sieges or if you're using hammer and anvil techniques, they should always be employed on the flanks and only engage after the enemy has engaged you. I don't udnerstand how you've taken damage with them but gotten no kills.

Additional, a single unit of gyrocopters is enough, they're primarily useful for scouting and for chasing down lords. Switch to organ guns, cannons or more grudge throwers as the gyrocopters are far too vulnerable for what they're worth.

As long as you focus on their large creatures, especially vargheists, your infantry will laugh at most of the VC infantry, aside from their top two armoured. Always remember that any dorf artillery can fire over dorfs at any range and that thunderers can too. Use a melee front with ranged rear to pick off targets engaged on the anvil, essentially hammering them from the rear.

Frankly, gyrocopters are ass. They attract missiles like it's nobody's business, get no kind of true armor benefit and their guns are often so weak and the bombs do so little damage that they're not worth it. When employed right Dorf artillery should be getting upwards of 110 kills in a 20v20. You have a massive natural bonus that all tall races don't get in that you can put your artillery right on the heels of your infantry, this means you're able to protect them right off the bat.

For Dorfs I reccommend that you construct two basic field armies and a besieging army. One with 4 - 6 Quarrelers, one with 4 - 6 Thunderers and a siege army comprised of 4 - 8 Quarrelers and 4 - 6 siege weapons. A single gyrocopter is often really helpful against Greenskins and Vampire Counts during sieges as they can be used to scout over the walls, revealing everything hiding behind. And if they're not taking fire they can sit there forever, shooting the general that's usually sitting there. This gives your quarrelers a massive boost as they can then fire at a near ninety degree angle over the walls, whittling down ever defender that hides behind. This is why you don't siege with thunderers. Additionally, your few remaining infantry slots should be the best you have, to make sure you can get smoke them out.


Whilst you are in the grey mountains anything to your north needs Armour piercing. Chaos, Imperials, Vampire Counts, all of it on the end game quarrelers are next to useless against them. However, the lack of armour on the south makes quarrelers a lot cheaper and more useful, their high armour and shields can out range goblin and arrer boys (With 2;1 piling two stacks of quarrelers can cause an arrer boys stack to rout in 2 - 3 volleys whilst their high armor and shields make them harder to be killed by the orcs)

Your thunderers can easily rack up 400 kills, and if you cheese sieges you can end up like this screenie.

Are you saying that the tier 4 settlement benefits felt cheap to you or that playing without it feels cheap?

>>171226950
I will jump back on the historic ride when they do China, either Warring States or Three Kingdoms eras.

Medieval 3 doesn't interest me.

>>171227692
Playing with it felt cheap and it triggered my audism considering most of the places you can build it are suppose to be shit little hovels.

>>171226430
It's just crazy all the shit that happened, and that they were all people just like us.

>>171228171
This. My favorite part of history is the stuff like the graffiti in Pompeii and margin doodles in Medieval manuscripts, helps to humanize the subject matter.

Is there a mod to make orcs not get steamrolled in the campaign?
Every one I've done, the dwarf factions just pound them into the ground.

>>171228609
Green Tide.

Or Steel Faith if you're into overhauls.

>>171227424
One use I found for gyrocopters was to make the AI advance and start attacking when they were on the defensive. Fly the gyrocopter into range and the AI instantly begins to attack regardless of where your army is.

>>171228536
Or when you're looking at a 10,000 year old neolithic doll/cave painting and you realize at some point the primitive artist just stopped giving a fuck because he knew his techniques were too primitive for him to properly capture the image of what he was making

Or when you read something like Hesiod's works and you realize that he was early /r9k/ with his complaining about how women eat all his food and then bitch without making themselves useful

>>171228171
I think about this WAY too much. Like during the day, I often question myself about how a guy who lived 2000 years ago would experience the thing I'm living and I realize it would probably be exacty the same (like laying on the grass in the sun, or be exicted about seeing a girl I like)

I was born in the wrong century

This also works with any artillery and doesn't waste a spot in your army.

Wait for the Chaos Dwarf DLC to be released

Then the southern darklands will be swarming with wild greenskins

>>171228985
Can't shoot at what you can't see. Typically I use it for hidden armies that spawn in a forest or behind a hilltop. Beyond that, I don't have much use for the things.

What I really find funny is that old manuscript where you can see that the cat walked across it while the ink was still wet.

>I don't know how gyros work: the post.
It's as easy as dropping a bomb in a cluster of targets. A good bomb drop will tear a big chunk out of even chosen, and brimstone gyros can do that without using bombs. Granted, the base gyrocopter is rancid ass, but gyros performing poorly is user error, either in not paying attention to them, or using them against targets they aren't good against (ie, lords or monsters).

Now this is a mighty waagh. Truly the fate of the old world hangs in the balance.

>>171229546
An unfeasible degree of micro for no particular advantage. Literally anything a gyro can do, another unit can do better (and it can probably do more as well).

Any of this on sale dlc worth the money? Are the horde factions fun? Are there mods that make the dlc redundant?

>>171229868
Yes, but that other unit is not a gyrocopter.

>>171229868
I don't know how poorly you handle gyros, but mine regularly net more kills than organ guns and cannons combined.

War... War Has Changed

>>171230023
Almost any unit can rack up pure kills, especially against mushy factions like GS. I've seen a unit of Quarellers with 500 kills. Doesn't always mean that it's worth the opportunity/cost or the loss of utility. On Legendary they're too much of a hassle for no particular advantage. Maybe one unit for scouting forests, but that's situational at best.

What else are you microing in a Dwarf stack? Runesmiths every 45 seconds?

He went squig hunting
Maybe when Skaven come out he'll get put in Karak-Eight-Peaks again and Queek will get put in crookback mountain, so that Belegar doesn't get instantly doubleteamed by the forces from Skavenblight and Skarsnik.

Because if CA went and actually gone the loreful route they wouldve made a unique underground map just for Karak 8 Peaks

Belegar/Skarsnik/Queek would all have the same exact starting position
