no sirs not this thread AI general thatway sirs

>>714989885
Only shitskins want to see elves raped because they project their desire to rape white women into elves, as elves are white coded.

>>714989542 (OP)
>artists just make eldar into basic bitch humans with pointy ears
They are supposed to look more alien.

>>714989957
Oh god, not a noldorfag thread.

>>714989958
Their appearance is wildly inconsistent in even official artwork. My go to guide is Jes Goodwins concept art because that guy basically came up with the entire look of the Eldar race, and as such, I take his depictions as the most canonical

>>714989958
>They are supposed to look more alien

That ship sailed a long fucking time ago. They appear as "humans with pointy ears" far more often than not, especially in licensed media. That is the default look for Eldar now.

>>714989957

>>714990042
Too bad, he got told to piss off after sperging out about mods in /twg/ so he needs to vent.

>>714990086
I think that out of all the fanartists Beckjann depicted them the best. His art of the Dark Eldar has just the right ballance of human and eerily alien look to them.

>even in fantasy asian women prefer white men

>>714990086
I don't think anybody really cares if they look like gaunt spooky humans or just humans but with knife ears. I know I would prefer them to look cute because I have a healthy sex drive.

What the fuck can they do about Norsca? How do you rework them to not be shit? Kangs need one too...

>>714990386
Why do the dwarfs and Nosca get 50 reworks and updates but other factions that are more popular get fuck all?

>>714990382
The eldar are lorewise supposed to be in the uncanny valley, not because of their appearance itself (as they are described as impossibly beautiful and elegant looking) but because of how they move. Lorewise, an Eldar is supposed to be able to move so fast and with such an impossible level of grace for humans, that they look extremely creepy and imedeately betray their alien nature.

Total Warhammer 40k starting races list:

>Marines, LL will be chapter masters that flavor the units
>Eldar
>Chaos, LL will be warband leaders that flavor the units
>Orks

>>714990529
>lorewise
>but lorewise
I don't care. Lorewise there are female custodians.

>>714990475
>dwarfs and Nosca

Dwarfs I can understand but I'm a dorf fag so I like it, but Norsca? They haven't gotten a rework or anything approaching it in years man.

>>714989542 (OP)
I fucking hope there won't be a 40K Total War.
Current 40K is a joke not just lore and story-wise.

>>714990680
personally im still hoping for empire 2
In my heart I know it is best we never get it

>>714990558
TWW40k 2

>Necrons
>Tau
>Imperial Guard
>Dark Eldar

>>714990625
>They haven't gotten a rework or anything approaching it in years man.
Bro this will be the fifth major update/rework what are you on?
Factions like Vampire coast have never had any.

>>714990680
Look, if CA doesn't make 40k tw. They'll go bunk lol. People aren't interested in non fantasy games anymore outside of history autists

>>714991052
Nah people would buy the shit out of a Shogun 3. It's just that Creative Assembly are ran by retards.
They should have a pipeline making a new Total War game every year. It's not like they are changing the engine anyway.

>>714991125
>Shogun 3
Try med3 or emp2. nonetheless med3 will launch first then 40k later, screencap it.

>>714989542 (OP)
where the fuck is the slaanesh DLC? what are they even doing over there?

>>714990598
Why even engage with the hobby if you don't care about the lore? You most likely don't collect miniatures either so why are you even in this thread?

>>714991125
>Shogun 3

Lol. The only historical title that would move even a fraction of the units that TWW does would be Medieval 3.

>>714991228
There are more weebs floating about then ever anon, Shogun 3 would print money.

>>714990386
they just need a few more cav/monstrous units squad units, a tiny bit more passive income, and some way to reset their movement on the campaign map so they can get the norsca consolidation done more quickly. they're otherwise not even that bad.

>>714990386
>Adding walls to settlements (there are walled Norscan villages and larger settlements)
>Improving economy
>Gaining favor with Chaos Gods in ways other than razing settlements to dedicate them to one of the four
>Rework the favor gaining to what Daniel has currently and add in Chaos Undivided as an option...and a 6th one where you can flat-out reject Chaos, but you should be prepared economically and military-wise because then every Chaos faction will want you dead + add in the champions of each Chaos God wanting to beat the shit out of your LL of choice (justified since Norsca isn't a monolith even after they retconned them into all Chaos)
>Expanded roster (they already showed Sorcerer Shaman Lords in the Sayl teaser trailer, Fimir Nobles, and it's a given we are getting Curs'd Ettins because those fit in too well with Norsca)
>Improved and Expanded monster hunts (like adding in mechanics where you go to hunt in generic non-quest fights and get extra money depending on the number and tier of monsters in the enemy army
>Expanded tech-tree and more buildings that further improve their economy

And that pic you posted...reminder Nortlanders are all half-Norscans due to historical shenanigans (which also means that Archaon is 2/3rd Norscan)

>>714991326
>miniatures

This is a thread about video games retard.

>>714991465
The video games are based on the lore of the setting, retard.

>Total Warhammer 40k
Wouldn't Total Wargame 40k make more sense from a mechanical stand point

>>714991125
>Shogun 3
That game would sell like shit because there's virtually no variety between factions, Warhammer changed the game forever.

>>714991595
I mean a non-shit DoW4 would made the most sense but that's about as "never ever" as you can possibly get at this point.

>>714990936
Would be fun to go deeper into the whole colonial era with actual slave economies (and I'm not talking here only the colonial powers, but all countries that did this like the Ottomans) and the differences between countries that employed this for a time vs those that didn't (like Poland even despite the fact they had one colony in Kunta-Kinte, but they treated the people not as slaves and so damn well the natives begged them to stay).

>>714991052
GOOD THING THERE ARE OTHER SETTINGS BESIDE ANYTHING GW MADE...
Like they could've made a Masters of The Universe Total War game where He-Man and Skeletor clash with each other while commanding massive armies. Same with She-Ra and Hordrak.

>>714991649
yea i don't think 40k is a good fit for total war. the scale is just too big; it works best when they zoom all the way out to the galactic scale or zoom all the way in to follow one space marine. total war's systems can't even accurately depict fantasy scale armies and technologies. it would be better as a 4X game or another RTS.

>>714991823
40k paypiggies are without question the most lucrative market for that shit. I mean TWW single-handedly convinced GW to make Old World, and that was for a dead setting. Marinefags ALONE will buy literally any piece of slop GW shits out, they could keep CA solvent for decades. That's why it'll be 40k.

>goycattle unironically begging for a strategy 40k game where the "epic" battles max out at 50 guys and 2 tanks each because the engine shits itself if you try anything larger

grim.

>>714991928
I don't know why the british govenment has not nationalised the 40k IP. Every single soldier from all around the world adores that shit. It is the perfect propaganda.

>>714992036
And i am sure everyone would keep loving it once it's in the caring, dedicated hands of the UK government lmao.

>>714991839
>war's systems can't even accurately depict fantasy scale armies and technologies.
What, of course it can lmao

>>714992553
This nigga never played Apocalypse.

>>714989642
>>714989774
Why not both?

>>714992553
That's what they said about fantasy as well. Now it's the new face of Total War, I'm sure 40k will do the very same.

>>714991839
Agreed. When I think 40K game, I think about it going BIG.
DoW games worked because they were story-driven and focused on specific factions and races on a planet/planets.

If they want to make a TW40K, then they must focus on a sub-sector (not a sector since it would be the size of 200 light years). Like the Kaurava or Aurelia sub-sectors. And make the campaigns there more story-driven.

And don't get me started with the mechanics. 40K is squad based as compared to WHFB's regiment-based style. They would have to dump a good chunk of the TW formula and replace it with wholly new mechanics including moving through cover, utilizing city ruins and more.
Not to mention that such a game would be immediately shit if it didn't feature all types of Titans up to including anything on the level of a Imperator-class Titan.
Because when one thinks Total War, they immediately think large if not MASSIVE battles. And despite 40K being a squad-based skirmish game, it has in lore massive apocalyptic wars from its background with the War in Heavens to present day with current factions and races. Not to mention Epic Warhammer 40K and Apocalypse bringing some of this massive scale to tabletop.

Thus if they won't make a 40K game big enough to accomodate Titans as controllable units (and no, not as background units, not as some abilities for commanders and such, but ACTUAL UNITS you can recruit, include into your army and control on the battlefield), then it will be a shit 40K game.

>>714993125
>hey were story-driven and focused on specific factions and races
Nigga it literally had all races in one plane or a few, this shit doesn't matter at all. Fuck story no one cares.

>>714989542 (OP)
>total war engine can barely handle shooting as it is
>niggers want total war game thats all shooting
>total war warhammer didn't have naval battles because more than 4 types of ships impossible for ca
>niggers want total war game where naval combat is the most important aspect
You 40kucks are retarded.

>>714992520
>What, of course it can lmao
by what metric? you can't even load this many units onto the field at the same time - nevermind that they're whole regiments and/or swarms and not just singular units.

>>714993640
By the metric that is the most succesful total war yet with 10 years of support. your autism is irrelevant.

>>714993401
>Nigga it literally had all races in one plane or a few
Tyranids: We didn't get into the first game you biomass.
>Fuck story no one cares.
The stories were engaging. Winter Assault as IG was literally when the Guard shined.

>>714993640
Try to field this on the tabletop then.

>>714993746
>okay it can't b-but you're autistic!
you're the one have a melty and just saying factually incorrect and instantly disprovable shit for no particular reason.

>>714993640
This is a problem even in historical games, it would just be closer to tabletop scaling like fantasy is.

>>714993765
>The stories were engaging
Like I said, no one cares, people want to play their favorite race, create their onw head canon and paint the map. that's it.

>>714991052
>if you dont appeal to broccoli-haired normies with warped minds your game wont survive
We know, stop reminding us of your crimes.

>>714993950
lol sure.

>>714994141
The only thing keeping CA afloat is whf
Troy got paid for by epic. Pharaoh was a massive flop

>>714992863
You're about to learn an important lesson about trusting CA to push the envelope, zoomoid

>>714993980
at the very least, they'd have to totally rethink their world map system and obfuscate it into small portions of various planets in a system; maybe using some of the techniques they experimented with in the realms of chaos. and then add cover mechanics, squad mechanics, and so many more things that they'd have just looped around to being dawn of war and not total war.

>>714993640
Retard, this isn't real not even in the tabletop what the fuck are you talking about?
Why would anyone would even want battles that big? 2 full armies battle are already a mess.

>>714994319
Once again, you completely missed my point, but I dont blame you. They experimented on how to fuck up your generation way harder than mine.

>>714994325
I'll learn that you'll keep seething just like you did when fantasy killes history.

>>714994346
Maybe they can just make a new dawn of war with the total war team, its all owned by the same jews.

>>714994346
Dev here, it's more about animation and map work than anything else. If it were up to me I would just make maps bigger with clusters of ruins or small cities for smaller engagements and cover.

>>714994541
i don't think the total war team as it exists is capable of much more than slightly improved iterations of the same shogun/rome systems that they made 100 years ago. would be happy to be proven wrong but the only time they ever stepped out of their comfort zone was for HYENAS and we all saw how that went.

>>714994772
They made Halo Wars 2

>>714994701
>more about animation and map work than anything else
that's what i'm afraid of lol. they've been trying and failing to get units to reliably climb walls for like 20 years.

>>714989542 (OP)
I'm just waiting for the confirmation historical games are dead.

>>714994907
i didn't know this and will take it into cautious consideration of their future work, but i don't think that necessarily disproves my point that 40k would be a poor choice for total war. a halo wars style RTS i'd be on board for, though.

>>714992553
People said that about line infantry in Total War.
And Warhammer Fantasy.

>>714994915
Their animation is completely fine when they actually want to animate shit, like 3K duels and big monsters in warhammer.
I think they really just don't care about the ladder shit, we can only hope that they put in great animations in the initial effort of making a new game since those will be carried for the trilogy as well.

.

>>714994420
So, what do you think they'll make next then? The only thing people want is medieval tw and empire 2 tw

>>714992553
Yeah I've seen this before when they announced the warhammer game.

>>714989542 (OP)
>News Saturday for sure friends

>TWW40k
lol, CA is going to milk the fuck out of you nerds

>>714994963
historical games are dead because CA made sure they killed them with half-assed efforts

>>714995584
Nah I bet they have a Med3 in them, they already said they have one historical and one fantasy game to announce this year.

>>714989542 (OP)
There can never be a 40k total war since there's no world map that would make sense.

Ah yes, can't wait for woke medieval Europe or woke fantasy. We wuz kingz and sheeit. We wuz badass warlords -oh sorry, WARLADIES and sheeit. I just want The Creative Assembly to go bankrupt and close the doors forever.

>>714996210
Have you ever played Dark Crusade?

>>714996210
>durrr I am a fat retard please fuck my face

>>714996210
my concern is way more tied to portraying the units on the field correctly and not having space marines march across open fields like retards to get mowed down. the maps they could circumvent by making 'pocket' planets that you can teleport between ("fly your transport for 2 turns") similar to realms of chaos or DOW:DC as this anon said >>714996458.

>>714996210
That's literally the easiest part lol

>>714996737
Have you never played total war? You'll just get the lord of your army represented on the map. They'll probably go with a solar system and between planets you'll get a ship, just like you get a boat in water.

>>714991125
I really liked Shogun 2 but I really don't feel like going back to the lack of variety of historical settings. I'm not a history autist so making the game historical doesn't have any inherent upsides to me, so historical TW games just end up being more boring because there's a lot less room for variety. It doesn't have to be Warhammer as far as I'm concerned but TW benefits immensely from not being shackled to some sort of historical realism.

>>714992553
I don't see why not. I think they would need to add some sort of space fleet combat and multiple planets with travel in-between at the very least, but as far as ground combat mechanics go there's nothing really that 40k would need that TWWH doesn't already have. It has vehicles, shitloads of ranged options, infantry ranging from fodder to absolute elites, hero units, flying units, magic, pretty much everything you need. All they'd have to do to make the ground combat is mostly give existing systems a new coat of paint.

>>714997253
That's why med3 is happening and I believe they'll take some "liberties" to make more variety.
Pharaoh already has this.

>>714997658
Pharaoh completely bombed compared to TWWH. It's not enough and I don't see how they can squeeze the kind of variety fantasy allows out of medieval Europe while still actually making a game about medieval Europe and not some history-inspired fiction instead.

>>714997871
It bombed because no one asked for it, no matter how diverse it was.

>>714997658
>>714997871
maybe they should meet in the middle and do both historical AND fantasy:

>>714997975
So you're hoping Medieval 3 sells exclusively on the name even though it can't keep up mechanically? That's not a recipe for long-term success. They would probably get good initial sales, then everybody drops it and doesn't come back for DLC.

>>714998131
That could work.

>>714998328
>sells exclusively on the name
It will, believe me, of course not as much as 40k, but it will be fine. That is, of it's not a buggy mess in release.

>>714999206
It will be "fine" but won't have legs to stand on like Three Kingdoms was also "fine" until nobody bought the DLC and CA pulled the plug.

>>714999329
Again, because no one asked for the DLC they made, they simply chose the worst possible shit to make DLC.
This can be easily remedied by making actual interesting new cultures in med3. Also the game is not supposed to have legs like Warhammer, 40k can easily have infinite leg of they want since GW is making content for it still.

I can't wait for more retarded /twg/ memes.
