Steel Faith significantly buffs casters, plus Gelt starts with a mortar.
If you havent played Gelt before - you'll have lotsa fun with him.

>>176292669
KAAARRLLL is best. Gelt is nice as a character I guess ? But he's weak in fight and lore of metal is not that strong especially in early Empire game.
If you have you can play Volkmar he's cool too. Franz buddy and his battle Pope.

Elf army expedition is in the jungle looking to activate some macguffins, they know they're trespassing but the leader of the expedition think's the lizardmen are just savages, the mage that went along thinks/knows otherwise and feels as if they should try to send some emissaries, in either case the elves feel as if the macguffins are important enough that trespassing is justified.

Fruity, wiser-than-thou faggots like you who claim to espouse respect for the opinion of all while being unable to espouse the same supposed respect for the opinion of your fellow countrymen, simply because their opinion actually have an actual effect on your daily life, rather than being a ''problem'' so far away from you you can safely spout out your opinion without any on ground knowledge of the situation and yet, appear wise on the subject. Its too easy to judge from afar. I mean to judge a culture on the food its produce is utterly idiotic, its like saying the important stuff is the food brought by it, not the entire fucking world that surround said food and give it purpose in the first place.

Basically, you're an intellectual coward that use dishonest, prefabricated retorts and rhetoric instead of genuine arguments.

Just stop pretending you're open minded, admit you're close minded (which, contrary to what is being thrown around as fact as of late, is an entirely acceptable way of seeing thing. Not everybody has to be an open book you know?) and take pride in the things you genuinely believe are worthy of such.

I think after the whole Choas thing they'll be much more careful about what they'd put as preorder DLC.

Besides with their "No DLC for DLC" thing they'd be better off sticking them in the game. More chances to make a mint off DLC for them than as a pre-order/DLC faction.

Technically Skaven could be good.

The problem is that they are born into the worst fucking situation imaginable, and the only way to survive is to be worse than the worse.

In theory if you stole a rat at birth and raised it in a land of plenty it wouldn't be evil.

Yeah the rat was just a giant ruse they'll surely take the least profitable route by making them preorder DLC, locking then out of further dlc releases despite a lot of potential being there, and also the route most likely to piss people off by making one of the most popular races not standard with the base game despite knowing that it backfired horribly when they tried it with warriors of chaos

Question for you guys, TWW2 is gonna be the new world and all, but skavens are in the old world, so how is that gonna play out

This book literally exists.

Okay I'm nearing realm divide on my Takeda campaign and I'm not sure which of my allies to betray first.

Hojo are split on either side of me, which means a war on two fronts, but also means they're divided, so I could potentially conquer them very quickly and take Izu for massive dosh.

Date are to one side of me and it would only take conquering 3 provinces to reduce the war down to 2 passes.

Attacking one of them could well lead to the other one betraying me though, which I'm a bit worried about.

skaven do have a foothold in the new world for the sequel campaign, and Skavenblight, their capital in the old world can fit in the area between tilea and estalia if CA decides to add them to the old world campaign for anyone who owns both games

Skaven are absolutely fucking everywhere.

>>176298428
Skaven are all over the place. Clan Pestilens had a very notable war with the Lizardmen plus they have a presence in the southlands.

>>176297641
>>176297730
you misunderstand, I mean that if Skaven are a preorder dlc race like Chaos, they won't charge for skaven dlc. Therefore they are going to want skaven in the main game so that they can charge for the dlc.

CA went Chaos-Tier-Damage-Control and did a big post on why Beastmen was so shit yadayadya.

One of the things they said was
>Making Jabbers would have cost as much as all the art work for Charlemagne!

It was a false equivalency bullshit excuse and people started using it as a meme to mean anything is too hard to make because it costs more than the art of Charlemagne.

no doubt in my mind that warpfire throwers will be irondrakes, but ratling gunners are a little different since they have automatic guns which might be totally overpowered in units of 25. Just think every 3 seconds that unit has shot more bullets than 4 units of handgunners in 30 seconds.

There is something about Vlad and Isabela that makes them all too human. I just don't see them as bad guys and I don't wanna kill them.

fuck no - they are perfidious blood-sucking fiends who will not hesitate to stab you in the back to rise in the world - fucking burn them and their undead legions into the ground. The fact that you are letting them occupy territory that belongs to the empire is a fucking travesty.

Also, Dawi are cunts. I feel nothing for them. They always win the BadlandsBowl and become annoying cunts. They don't fight chaos, but only once you've done all the work they stream out of their mountain holds with 10 armies of Ironbreakers and Slayers and massive amounts of artillery and are a bitch to remove.

If they had hard times vs orks and we fought together, a bond could be formed. But the AI as it is now ignores Archeon, so I gotta do it my self unless I am Ork/Dawi. Then I get the "help" of those in the way. And when Age of Peace hits, I trust Asrai more than Dawi.

Unless TWW:2 and 3 have zero factions as DLC, they will need to bump up the available factions

Chaos would be more popular with people new to the game/setting, it's why chaos warriors were a pre-order race, why not make the skaven a DLC race at the expense of pissing off niche of fans?

>>176311402
Skaven are obviously going to appeal to a vast swathe of people. much more so than Empire, Bretonnia or fantastical races like elves. They have steampunk elements, they are rat-men and they are the go-to evil genius race. Without them a lot of people wouldn't bother buying this sequel.

Because greenskins are simple creatures. They expect very little in life - give a goblin something sharp and something to stab and you will have a happy goblin.

When playing as clan angrund, do you war against other dwarfs? Thinking about doing a playthrough

What's the best TW game to co op with friend for some fun shenanigans and interesting situations?

Atleast until they find out how big that something is.

>Atleast until they find out how big that something is.

For most gobbos this never happens, since they typically only fight dwarfs

I'm going to be dominated by a best elf!

>>176312884
goblins love violence, until it might happen to them.

>>176313242
>Dwarfs are small

This is bullshit however. Dwarfs are only a little over half the height of a man but are wider across and have more mass.

Dwarfs generally are bigger and weigh more than humans.

In the same way that all of the worlds strongest men look fat.

I guess.

Some are. Some are giant balls of muscles like Gotrek and Snorri

This is the ideal Dawi body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like you wazzock.

>>176314881

>has to leap in order to get ale off of the shelf

I don't think so

>>176316609
Why would they have to leap to get ale off the shelf made by dwarfs?

That's not funny anon.

why do VCs get 1.5-2x more LL than every other race but dwarf?

Why does the lore of life gets a better armor bonus spell than the lore of metal?

>>176317346
flesh to stone only applies to one target, glittering robe can hit your entire battle line

>>176316737
at that point why not just store it on the floor?

>>176317346
why does light get a spider web snare immobilizer trap spell

Considering how Chaos Warriors turned out I don't want them to be the pre-order bonus. I want them done properly.

>>176319572
I repeat it on every thread and it was said in this already twice..
CA said they will not do pre order Race again due to such negative community response.

>>176295603
Im actually getting pretty optimistic. Maybe old friend is something big and thats why its taking so long

>>176319936
I don't think TK's or any other faction will be the pre-order bonus either. I merely stated I wouldn't want the Tomb Kings to be if it would happen. Ideally they'd just have the first DLC be the pre-order incentive but release it after it's actual development schedule but that seems unlikely. No instant gratification.

>>176312550
I only just now realized how poor the armor distribution on Chaos Marauders is when they're fighting stunties, those big meaty thighs just asking to get hacked up
