How do you guys take screenshots of your post-battle reports? Prntscrn just produces a black screen and steam's screenshot is unresponsive during that time.

>>175154892
I always play in windowed mode so i can faff about on /twg/ during turn times. It also means that printscreen works during post battle loading screen.

>>175154892
Print screen button. Stick it in paint and crop out the gay porn on the other screen and it's good to post.

Has anyone done an Exalted Hero-only WoC army? Viable, fun? Sounds like a bit of work since WoC Lords cost more pop for each new one, and you need to get your horde building to tier 3 with each one, so just thought I'd check before I try.

I think one of the only remaining overseas colonies the High Elves have is in the Dragon Isles, some sort of principality but lore is virtually non-existant.

>>175160856

Past Lizardmen temple city IIRC

All Slann ruling there died, and the remaining Saurus, with no purpose and no one to command them, eventually devolved into feral tribes due to the conditions

Something like Savage Orcs

Dwellers is shit for it's cost though and is clearly imbalanced.

It's one of the most expensive spells in the game overcasted and does really mediocre damage.

Lore of life being good otherwise is largely irrelevant if you're spending 23/30 mana on an overcast dwellers.

Spells are balanced on a spell-by-spell basis and not for the whole lores.

I think the problem is that they gave dwellers a slowing effect which made them bump the cost up when really the slow is about half as disruptive as a more damaging vortex spell.

It'd be really cool if they could make it work almost like a summoning spell where the tendrils you summon are actual entities who damage and knockback enemies in an aoe.

I wish they would swap up how some lords attacks worked to reflect the different races.

Like it'd be cool if all elf lords had the duelist trait and did far less damage, with far less aoe capability but had a way quicker attack timer.

That's probably how Sigvald should work as well but he doesn't seem to.

No other faction has such a variety of infantry & missile shit though and all cav is pretty samey. There's very little to distinguish Reiksguard from empire knights from knights errant from knights of the realm from black knights with barding.

All you need is 4 tier 3 slots and you get
>miners with blasting charges
>thunderers
>cannons
>rangers
>great weapon rangers
>Slayers
>great weapon dwarf warriors
Which are all units you can use to drastically change up your tactics with dwarfs, especially if you add a runelord for the red tree.

Most dwarf players just spam the standard quarrellers + warriors though and then just upgrade warriors into longbeards then ironbreakers and have a really boring time.

>>175173057

honestly you could make all of the main game lords have a different start and do just fine
Ungrim in Karak Kadrin

Azhag up north near Kadrin (Red Eye tribe?)
Gelt is the tricky one, maybe set him up doing something by marienburg (muh lore) and you have to either take the city or rush home to deal with the secession

If you wounded him and as a result he wasn't leading an army when you confederated him that means you can't use him, retard. You can only use lords if you confederate them while they are in the field.

Everytime I play a race in TWW I delve into any lore and backstory I can find.

Can someone clarify to me who, or what Drachenfels is? Is this dude an actual thing, or just some GW power trip self inserted mary sue? An immortal vampire/not vampire who dominates all Greenskins, Chaos, and Undead?

Or did I miss something and he was retconned out and turned into Nagash?

Anyone here ever play Mordheim? lookin for something new to fill the void while we wait for Old Friend Never

I'm hearing that it "Might" be like a more RNG heavy version of XCOM, more focused on character progression than base management which I am okay with.

Anybody here that has played it recommend getting it?

>>175182281
Its relatively cheap, the difficulty curve is fucked. But once you get into it it can be fun.
Don't expect any new DLC for awhile as the developers are now working on Necromunda.
>No Dwarf Treasure Hunters
>No Orc Warband

I last played W: TW about a week after release.

I had no issues, just got more interested in my Empire (Total War) campaign rather than my Empire (Warhammer - Karl Franz) campaign.

If I reopened the game now and tried to continue, would the map be all weird due to the Beastmen/WoodElf DLC putting all their stuff in my lands?

Is it better to start as a new faction entirely?

>>175182523
restart as the faction you wanna play.

He's from an old novel (called 'Drachenfels', incredibly). He does crop up again in the End Times in a weird way as 'The Nameless' though. So he's canon to the extent of being name-dropped at least.

>>175178416
>I'd like them more if they didn't take up army slots that could be used for grave guard instead

Army slots is the biggest problem warhammer has that no one complains about

It makes tarpit armies only useful in the first 10 turns, before the AI can get a full stack going

It's the whole reason CA came up with Waaagh for greenskins, you think Greenskins and VC have it bad? Wait for Skaven.

>>175180325
In the old fluff when Sigmar was a metal barbarian king rocking out in the hellscape and the Tileans once ruled the "Reman Empire" which used to own the whole old world Drachenfels was originally the big boss of the undead, a unique creation of Warhammer that was kind of like a lich but not really who would steal bodies and body parts from people and stitch them together into his body. Like a Frankenstein monster and a necromancer who had menaced humanity for 15,000 years and who was powerful enough to scare the Chaos gods.

Later they got rid of him and Nagash, who had already existed as a big lich guy in lore, became the new super evil top undead badguy. Being that Nagash was just a not!Egyptian necromancer who became a lich and being that his later incarnations were influenced heavily by world of Warcraft he was quite a bit more disappointing, especially since Drachenfels was recently active in Warhammer lore and tried to kill Karl Franz whereas the most recent activity of Nagash in the lore was him trying to control Azhag through his crown.

Unlike Nagash who seemed like he was stuck in purgatory trying to figure out how to come back Drachenfels basically came back whenever he felt like it to fuck with people because he thought it was funny.

Nagash never really felt intimidating as an enemy until GW resurrected him and gave him a ton of free undead soldiers to menace the world- and then the Skaven blew up his flying pyramid anyway and then he was playing second fiddle to Sigmar trying to prevent Chaos from overrunning the world after he weakened everyone and then failed at becoming a god. And then indirectly caused the end of the world since Mannlet stabbed Gelt.

If you want to know why Mannlet is such a failure you only need to look at Nagash to see the origin of why most undead are fucking losers. Only a few risen dead guys like Settra and Vlad weren't huge fucking fagbois and they were winners in life too.

>>175186351
Now that I think of it Nagash and Mannlet share a lot in terms of origin- Nagash was the pharoah's autistic little brother and then he learned dark magic to counter the fact that he was a wimpy failure and then killed his brother and took over.

I suppose the moral of this story is if you're a beta who figures out how to become a vampire-lich-undead pseudo-immortal you should never hand out immortality to Stacies like Neferata who will then hand it out to Chads like Abhorash.

>>175186568
>Chads like Abhorash.

You mean Vlad

>>175186105
It's never been too much of a problem in other total war games, it's just that in warhammer armies are built around tarpit units that then disappear after a while despite being a big part of that armies' character. They just need to make Boyz and zombies either have their own slot so you can just put a few in each army no matter what, or limit higher end units somehow, but that's easier said than done well.

>>175187183
their both chads tbf

>>175186105
skaven will probably have the same mechanic as brets with peasants. Since they literally breed like rats and cannibalize upon themselves when they grow too many theyll be a faction that has to deal with tons of attrition, and probably underway stance or whatever as well.

Tarpit armies only work in low/medium funds multiplayer battles

There's no point in bringing goblins in the campaign if by turn 12 Thorgrim shows up with a full stack of warriors

They're having a spat with 8ch (or rather, they with 4chan) the last couple of weeks. It's been pretty bad.

So what landmass is left after 2 that will fill 3? The badlands and northern chaos wastes seems like, well, a waste. They've learned that variety is extremely important for sales, so they can't just map "rocky wasteland and snowy wasteland" and call it a day. Yet there's not really much left of the known world to cover.

Incidentally, do you think Araby will be in 2 since the southlands is in? What about the black voodoo vampires?

>Lustria, Nagga, Ulth, Southland
Unless the map is compressed, it's gonna be a pain in the ass to go anywhere. And they gonna need naval combat since otherwise 90% of the fighting will be auto resolves

>>175192156

>>175191710
They're fundamentally the same game, since they are both pretty straight forward adaptions of the tabletop game. Blood Bowl 2 is getting its own Legendary Edition this summer, which will pretty much bring it up on par with the old ones. Once it is out, Blood Bowl 2 will have slightly more races than Chaos (All races plus Bretonnia and Kislev, but minus Khorne). It really comes down to if you want a prettier version of blood bowl with more announcer dialogue and stuff like that. I have fun with it.

Stegadons cut!

The Yellow Menace on the eastern borders of the Empire grow my liege, but for some reason they call us the gwailos.

There is actually some apocryphal material on the 'Jade-Blooded', who are Cathayan vampires. And they're pretty much like this image.

It's going to be Advisor-senpai isn't it

>>175198569
What will Advisor race look like

>>175198647
>race
Advisor will be available to all races as a hero, mark my words

>>175195593
It doesn't feel WoW to me. When I first saw the lineup I thought Warmachine (with warjacks replaced by differently-sized tiny airships).

>>175198705
Anon you missed my obvious silly joke

>>175198705
What would Advisor-san even do in battle?

6. Which is pretty significant, and most traits aren't really that meaningful.

>>175196076
I'd need another colour to decide, because that yellow is horrific.

>>175198312
don't need shitty AoS for that though, I'm pretty sure they released WHFB rules for a dwarf airship once.

Honestly I think you're reading too much into it - they've also not shown any Hydras or Dragons so are we to just assume that, because they've not been shown at the earliest possible moment in the marketing campaign for a game that's coming out at the end of this year, they're definitely not going to be in the game?

Kroxigors would likely be classed as monstrous infantry and be similar in regiment size to Trolls or Minotaurs, who aren't classed as infantry in their respective armies.

Skinks/Saurus/Goblins/Orcs = infantry
Kroxigors/Trolls = monstrous infantry

There was a Slayer Engineer who made a bunch of crazy stuff because he had nothing left to loose and could therefore risk his life inventing the daftest shit he could think up. Made a crazy dirigible and the Goblin Hewer, which is basically a rapid-fire artillery-piece that hurls axes at whatever it's pointed at.
