First for Neferata reveal in 12 mins.

40k waiting room

Is this the 40k waiting room?

30k waiting room

Manifesting nippon as the third faction.

40k milking room please form an orderly line

Waiting for the waiting room for 40k

Waiting room for the next thread

>>529792475
yes

Waiting room for CA to do fucking anything at all

>>529792891
Next thread is a waiting room for 40k

DLC waiting room

>>529792989
TW: 40k is going to lag like fuck, imagine all the explosions

>>529792985
Please understand, heat wave burned down PCs at the family office and we cant afford ACs so part of the family is working at home

Thanquol soon, friends!

Its over (again)

WHERE IS IT? WHERE'S THE DLC? CA? HEY, ANSWER ME! I WANT NEWS, FUCKER. GIVE ME THE THIRD, YOU MOTHERFUCKER. I NEED IT. I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF IF I DON'T GET THE THIRD RACE IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am waiting for the Warriors of Chaos nerfs that are due in the next hotfix.

Im opening the gates to /tg/ when the time comes
Just giving you guys a heads up, I will betray you all

>>529793474
The russians took it

>>529793812
that's a good thing by the way. I hope they hang out with us here.

>>529793474
They haven't gotten that far yet.

>>529788060
>Blood Ravens were created specifically for DoW
While this is correct they were not a canon chapter nor was the events of Dawn of War canon until years later. CA could literally copy relic and just make an OC first but they would have to actually have some kind of in house passion for the setting to do it well enough.
I sincerely doubt they do so the most likely we will get is one of whatever line GW is pushing for that year in Astartes.

CA's options are;
>Black Templars
Just like other tourists they likely see them as the 'racist' chapter. Extremely unlikely outside DLC
>Blood Angels
Blonde blue eyed vampires are ripe for DLC. Unlikely
>Ultramarines
GW's choice and the easiest one to do, due to blandness as well as zeitgeist appeal. Most likely choice.
>Salamanders
The in house favourite for being 'black' and 'wholesome' I guaranfuckingtee, but they are literally a pre packaged 'fire' themed DLC.
>Space Wolves
Same as salamanders - preformed DLC sub faction.
>Dark Angels
Again, DLC bait especially with the Lion.
>All other first founding
If they do not have a real model line and need conversion pieces like Iron Hands then there is no chance. Vanilla chapters like Imperial Fists are never going to be used over UM regardless.
>Blood Ravens
No chance. Maybe as some kind of RoR or agent at best.

>>529793812
As long as you don't bring /v/tards I'm fine with it.

LL for this feel?

>>529791741 (OP)
Yin-Yin waiting room. Never ever.

We are only receiving 1 DLC in 2025.
How many DLCs shall we receive in 2026?

>>529795381
1

>>529795176
obviously it's King Flann Sinna of Mide
that's such an easy answer, why even ask it? are you stupid???

Next year is the 10 year anniversary of Total War: Warhammer.

>>529795953
What are you going to with it?

>>529796448
That's when they'll reveal the third race for ToT.

>>529796448
Oh boy! Can't wait for that sweet sweet wallpaper!

>>529795381

The only thing I want from 40k is wargear selection, instead of researching the same unit with a different weapon, let we research the weapons to mount on units.

>>529798210
> same unit with a different weapon
switching weapons is lost Bulgarian sorcery, can't be done

What is a thing you like that others dislike in Total war games or /twg/

>>529798531
Spearmen.

>>529798531
Vagina

>>529798508
I rather think it becomes a necessity, since marines are mostly the same with different war gear, same for their vehicles.
Other faction have it too but not at the same extent.

>>529798531
agent actions

Greenskins are pure sovl

TONIGHT
I SHALL PLAY TRETCH CRAVENTAIL
GRAND CHIEFTAIN OF THE DEEP WARRENS

>>529798210
Changing loadouts is more of a marine thing and maybe IG, other armies have a less varied armory
It could be their gimmick

>>529800332
Not even if every corpse of every battle in all of history rose and attacked the world
Not one ratnigger left alive

all i wanty is to shoot a froggy

Why do hybrid ranged/melee lord and heroes exist? Their ranged never does any damage and it's just better to send them in melee to bog down charging units

>>529800332

>>529801119

>>529801119

If they have fire at move they can at least shoot while charging which is nice.

>>529800674
Other armies have more modular vehicles like the Tau suits, Necrons also get some secondary weapons.

>>529801286
>>529801358
These are full ranged with artillery tier projectiles not hybrids
I mean stuff like druzhina and gate keeper

>>529801119
I use them to kill fleeing characters.

>>529801647
If they were too strong it would make multiplayer players upset, they like cycle charging instead

Can Ogres slap a camp close enough to a town to reinforce it?

>>529801119
ALEAF can snipe arty and stack up a lot of damage on enemy lords and heroes.

A reminder that Ku'gath Plaguefather has about 14800 health.
If you deducted 10000 health from Ku'gath's healthpool then he would still have more health than Karl Franz.

>>529801119
>The ranged never does any damage
Does non-zero when at range, especially against large tar
And then you can still send them into melee.

kugath is also ugly and stupid

>>529801816
They're even shit in mp, only waystalkers see play because arrows of kurnous is free value.

Ku'gath Plaguefather vs 2 Karl Franz'

gunnery bob

>>529802663
How can their muskets still work waterlogged?

your guns have purple vfxes

My armour-piercing ranged units don't even need line of sight.

>>529801923
so strange why he doesn't have temperate island climate. I may just cheat to make it so.

>>529802957
Soulless

>>529802781
Because the powder's wet, bro.

Is there a cheat to increase unit cap for daemons as WoC?

>>529803040
Actually, their souls are amongst the most desirable.

>>529801647
See
>>529801923

i killed this retarded fucking idiot 2 times over the end turn, how the fuck did he come back with full health
also, how do you find the books of khorne? Is it just random?

>>529802473
One foot franz and one deathclaw franz, no abilities or spells.

>>529803574
2 franz
lmao 2 franz

>>529803574
Holy.

>>529795953
I pooped twice today

so why isn't Imrik just 'Caledor'? Why is it this 'knights of Caledor' thing?

How do you deal with snitch as china? My peasant archers melt in 3 sec against their rat summons

>>529804052
You can't just invite Lu Bu to your faction? Marrying him to Diao Chan usually keeps him loyal.

>>529803645
>>529803648
With fleshy abundance he can take 4 foot franz at the same time.

>>529804165
Can we elect Ku'gath to be our new Emperor?

>>529804165
Make a unit of 16 KFs now.

>>529804165
>4 foot franz
lmao midge

>>529801873
Player no. AI can stack a gorillion camps right on top of a settlement as long as you don't have vision on them.

>>529803908
Caledor is a place on Ulthuan (and a minor faction in the game), so it's to show that he is the leader of an expedition, since he doesn't actually own Caledor at the start of the campaign. Same with Alberic being the Bordeleaux Errant instead of Bordeleaux.

>>529804165

And in honourable single combat kugath bests 7 karl franz' before succumbing to the 8th, if the ai were better about healing it could have maybe been 8-9.
Sadly 1 franz died before he could retreat, rip.

>>529807303
Wow, never fight that guy in melee. Truly ludicrous.

>>529807303
This is why I shoot that fat fuck to death if I can. CHUD'gath is a fucking menace.

>vampire counts
>half their LL aren't vampire or counts
Explain this sigmarites

>>529807303
I get Ku'Gath being strong, but the fact that he can 1v1 lords like Skarbrand or Kholek is ridiculous

>>529808762
The lords are vampires and raise armies of undead to fight for them.

For me? It's the River Troll Haaaaaaaaaaaaaag

Glottkin is the only lord that could possibly defeat Ku'gath in a 1v1.

not any more. now you are stuck with primaris style sunforge starscythe suits.

>>529807303
I tried microing Aranessa against him and could barely get him down 10%. He has some poop spell that deletes half your health on a 15 second cooldown.

Ku'gath has:
70 armour
15000 health
64 melee defence
Artillery sharts
Armour-piercing weapon strength
Lore of Nurgle

He will literally kick your lord down into the ground and then throw waste upon him.

>>529807303
Okay, this is a great argument for items with the silence immunity. Confiscate his magic bullshit and he can clapped by most melee fighters. Taking it away towers his cost from >4k to ~2k, Aranessa is a little over 1k.

I like that soldiers start basedjakking when they go into formation
>oh my zeus we're doing the thing! we're doing the Alexander Megas thing!

>>529812291

>Okay, this is a great argument for items with the "silenced" imbument. Confiscate his magic bullshit and he can be clapped by most melee fighters. Taking it away lowers his gold cost from >4k to ~2k, Aranessa is a little over 1k.

>hot goth babes in total war

>>529813773
I asume you're talking about Azazel, in which case you make frends with the rats and deal with the rest, and once you're done with that you move to the wastes or nosca to grab some land. Or you could wait for the dlc to play with more units.

>>529814130
I dont really get how to play the other chaos factions either though...

>>529814346
You get shitty marauders and turn them into stronk marauders. Also get mages. Mages are key to win as chaos.

>>529812004
Not so fastthis was cheating as they had no abilities and coeddil all his but he can legitimately solo ku'gath with his full kit

Why so?

>>529813773
i assume you're playing azazel, if that's the case you can either go either way, it just depends if you want more territory right away then go into Norsca, if not then rampage south since you will want to do that later anyways
just beat them down until they are about to be wiped out to subjugate them the way any WoC faction can do, over time you can do it the slaanesh way but it takes a while and is only worth doing on allies

The map has a memory leak that makes it freeze and stop responding randomly for like 15 min. Luckily it comes back if you wait long enough. If you want to experience it yourself, fight the dwarf pirate who sails around by the badlands.

Extremely. Even more so that she's lowkey crushing on him for his murderous prowess.

>>529818119
One of the themes in the original Chorf book was that they DGAF about the uncorrupted Dwarfs, really, and they were usually pitted against random enemies like High Elves, Skaven and The Empire in WD battle reports, with the theme being that they only care about more slaves, not avenging some ancient grudges. You know what they say, WAHITU DEMAK!

>>529825921
Why isn't she pale?

>>529826062
DElves who moved to sunnier climates lose their pale skin.

>>529826062
Aren't drukeks pseudo-order in AoS? Maybe she can visit a beach that isn't cold and patrolled by cold ones like emus do in Australia now that they're somewhat accepted by other races

>>529826883
>Gotrek is still alive in AoS
How much are they gonna milk that poor stunty? I understand that killing him off would kind of defeat the purpose, but I feel like he must've done so much shit by now he must be a REALLY strong motherfucker in-universe to survive this long, on par with actual deities and such

>>529827389
On the topic of Warhammer novels, I haven't read any for years or kept up to date with them, do they still make fantasy novels or is it all Slopmar now?

>>529814794
>WEEZA DRAZH KHAZAD MONGAR
they say IS DA KAZAK MONGER (sth like I'm a warmonger/general). DRAZH KAZAD means Black Fortress, Drazhoath's starting town.

or maybe they say KHAZID MONGA which is warmonger and FA KAZAK means to battle, which they also say when attacking.

Any advice? Never had this problem before. Mod conflicts would jsut crash the game, but this is just frozen at 1 fps with ambience sounds still playing.

The enemy army you are fighting consists of Ku'gath and 19 rank 7 Nurglings.
Can your Legendary Lord's 20 stack defeat them?

The moment some fag at gw looked at kislev and thought to themselves
>bears and ice lmao
Was the moment you should've realized they would never be good

>>529834595
I have a theory that the DLC reveal this December will be related to the End Times.

>>529834639
Easy, Dwarfs.

>>529834589
It's pretty clear they have no idea which direction to take Kislev in
Kostaltyn is still by far the worst of all the WH3 LLs

CA insider here. We have some exciting news for you guys. In 3 weeks we will drop another youtube short of a Norscan unit reskin. In 3 months, we're expecting another teaser (but not full trailer) for the upcoming DLC you guys are excited for.

Expect riveting new youtube shorts of a Slaanesh reskin by late August, and we might have a spicy dev interview for you guys by Christmas

That is all.

>>529834926
40k?????

>>529834589
I just think it's funny Katarina is still the only LL that doesn't receive a free hero even after the rework

>>529834926
Thank you for the update! Keep up the good work and steady progress.

She does get a hero in the Realms of Chaos campaign. You just have to win the first battle or something like that.
Tamurkhan also doesn't start with a hero.

>>529835195
>Realms of Chaos
So? No one plays that, only IE matters

Most heroes start outside of the army and you have to manually embed them in.
The Changeling's hero actually starts inside of the army.

>>529835027
But she geats a whopping -10% cost reduction on the ice court! Be greatful!

>>529834589
Kislev has a half decent roster that's kinda fun, but their campaign mechanics, technology, and building trees are pure AIDS

Really, Heroic victory?

>ppl unironically think we getting more than 2 dlcs after this one
Look at the time they are taking, its 1 dlc per year now
It wont get any better, specially after the cat(next tw game) gets out of the bag in december

>>529835874
We still need Dogs of War and End Times.

>>529836015
>dow
2026, before the release of 40k
>end times
the ending dlc, they will announce the future of total war warhammer right after they announce end times, expect release in early 2027, after 40k releases

Is this CA Sofia's first Warhammer DLC by (mostly) themselves? I assume they've done supplementary model work and stuff but nothing major, and by the dev diary or whatever it seems like the big team at CA is working on something with input being the only thing given to Sofia. They have a decent enough track record, none of their DLC for stuff like Rome 2 was outright terrible and their TW titles are mostly hampered by being smaller scales amped up to give the illusion of major releases. I just can't shake the feeling this is gonna be Shadows of Change 2.0 for some reason

>chaos can literally do anything

I will it so

Why are there so many Aranessa posters, yet so few Aranessa players?

So they can fix Norsca just by adding longbows, right?

>>529837084
Prior to this they were only responsible for the Khorne side of the Omens of Destruction DLC.

Potential Norsca units:
Chimera
Bear Shifters
Valkyries

>>529834639

>>529837462
Only if they're a T5 Valkyrie unit, similar to Chosen of the Gods

>>529837084
They also wanted to make changes to old mechanics, like corruption, public order etc.

>>529837434
Because Wood Elves are painful to play.

Um, depthguard sissies, (y)our response?

>>529838580
Sir... Would you kindly verify which race Aranessa is part of?

>>529838693
Vampirates are also painful to play.

>>529838693
>Hellebron comes into contact with my mage for 2 seconds
>takes out 90% of her health in two hits
I guess it's true to lore....

>>529838580
Deciding whether to put the archers behind the trees or in front of them really is 4D chess

>>529839182
Yeah, she has some of the highest melee attack in the entire game. I tried to defeat her with both Tyrion and a Noble but they both got obliterated by her in about 40 seconds.

When I read the words "repeater crossbows" I think of a crossbow that can shoot 1 bolt after the other in rapid sequence, say 1 second between shots, for however large the cartridge is.

>>529839182
Yeah but if you just shoot her with like two archermani, she dies before getting close.

Campaign ideas:
Crone Hellebron melee only
Drycha with only forest spirits
Zhao Ming peasants only
Lokhir with corsairs only
Ku'gath nurglings only

YEAH
KILL EM

It's ogre

>>529839526
SH was on her Manticore and I got the Flight mod that gives everything with wings 300 speed.

>>529839768
I did a Good-Girl Hellebron once.
DIsable Blood Voyage and killed so many Choasmanii and other Dark Elves that everyone in the Ordertide loved me.

>>529840018
Dude... I literally just thinking about Macedon.
Get out of my head.

>>529839483
Thats what they are, but total war nerfed them

>>529840262
>Mod that benefits enemy lords
Well, you knew what you were asking for...

>>529837462
Here's my ideas from the shitter:
>basically WoC outpost system/cult/cove/herdstone system for settlements outside of Norsca not on coastlines, wherein once the settlement is taken it takes x amount of turns to funnel loot to nearest Norscan port back to Norsca during which it increases Chaos corruption and whatever before being razed. Techs, more ports in a reasonable vicinity, and landmarks give bonuses to the GPT given for the raze and raiding
>Norscan ports and Norscan settlements get actual defenses and buffs to garrisons and armies, but give little economy like they currently do. Norscan recruitment is centralized on Norscan ports, with looting and raiding adding units beyond Marauders/Horsemen to the pools of those provinces(settlements in Norsca have usual recruitment and such, but having to set sail from Norsca itself makes it worthwhile to have access to them outside)
>monster hunts can be turned into units added to the RoR pool every so often for having a Norscan port near where the creature would be hunted, certain buildings raise the amount and lower time needed before another is hunted
>certain skirmish options added to pad out their abysmally early skirmisher power cap and existing anvil units either given buff options or upgrades so they hold
I really think most of Norsca's(read: Wulfrik's, no idea about what to do with Throg) problems come from that bad skirmish potential and terrible campaign mechanics or lack thereof. I don't want to see them relegated to "subpar WoC" and I'd prefer to see them made into a "Chaos" faction focused on things outside of just Chaos Warriors. Their lategame powerhouses like Skinwolves and Mammoths are still pretty good, it's just getting there sucks and it's not particularly fun to just SEM spam with Wulfrik. Give them some stuff to make it feel like you're sailing to and fro on longboats setting up places to sail loot back to home from

>>529840018
>Macedon
>Medieval 2
what sorcery is this??

>>529841051
Brother, I'm fairly certain EB2's been out for over a decade at this point.

>>529840828
Also you could take the port idea further and have either a hero or diplomacy option to establish a port in a coastal settlement of certain races like Delves who trade with Norscans so that you can use it to funnel loot from battles in their area or get certain units of theirs to your mercenary pool, with a caveat that they get a % of it or you pay them for setting up shop in their neck of the woods

>>529841373

>Rome 1 fans turning their game into a Medieval game with Chivalry Total War
>Medieval 2 fans turning their game into an Ancient game with Europa Barbarum
>Rome 2 fans turning their game into a Medieval game with Medieval 1100AD
>Attila fans turning their game into an Ancient game with Ancient Empires 2.0
vexing

>>529839768
>Crone hellebron melee only
Fun and thematic. Fast ambushes where 2000 blood-crazed naked ladies suddenly swarm over you are kino.
>Drycha with forest spirits only
Giant Hawks are ridiculously good for sieges. I'm not sure if they have collision attacks or something on top of their AP, but two charges will break even armored elite infantry. Very viable and in fact how I played my Drycha campaign.
>Zhao Ming peasants only
The only way to play Cathay and make it fun. They enemy will tire and run out of arrows eventually, but chinamanii can keep coming. Peasants having charge defense against all + massive recruit rank bonuses with PO building make it work quite well, as long as you are ok with constantly losing armies.
>Lokhir with corsairs only
Surprisingly the least viable one. Corsairs are rather expensive for what they are and you'll struggle with both armor and recruitment speed to throw bodies at problems. Once enemy starts fielding armored troops you're pretty much fucked.
>Ku'gath nurglings only
Works. Ku´gath is a single man doomstack on his own. Nurglings wont do much but who cares.

>>529842318
Don't forget that Shogun 2 fans are turning their Sengoku Jidai game into a LOTR game with Last Alliance

>>529837084
I love Sophia so much....

>>529836525
It's would be fitting. DLC called 'End Times' when we are near the Apocalypse. Very poetic.

>>529843149
Only power yields victory
Only strength can rule
Only fools think otherwise

>>529839768
campaign idea: you actually have to use every unit type your army has like cavalry and chariots instead of playing every faction as spearmanii bowmanii

>end times dlc
/twg/ is retard

>no beginning times dlc

>>529843395
When ppl say end times dlc, they usually mean a dlc with end times stars, like nagash, thanquol, glotkin, valten etc

for me it's the middling times

What do we call the time period between Omens of Destruction and Tides of Torment?

The guy who did Attila and Pharaoh's soundtrack is pretty good and I even liked some of the stuff in 3K but yeah nothing has yet come even slightly close to Jeff

>>529846208
I don't think the more recent soundtracks are bad, far from it. Troy and Three Kingdoms are excellent
I just really like Jeff's work

On Saturday? I'll take it.

Which chinaman/dragon is the most fun to play? Haven't touched any of them since IE released

>>529849076
yuan bo because of the stone and steel system, and also the hilariously op late game buildings that provide factionwide buffs

>>529849306
Sounds good. Haven't touched cathay since my first(and only) ROC campaign with Zhao Ming so we'll see how big bro handles things. So wait is Yuan Bo really just Cathay+? I keep seeing that parroted around

>>529847665
I don't get it

>>529850240
I'm not that Anon but yes. Yuan Bo gets a better compass, great stone and steel system as well as getting a dual start.
You can quite easily dominate both Cathay and the western part of the world.

Deception is one of the most important and valuable aspects of Total War but I would never dare to impersonate another Anon.

>>529852656
Is that the man known as Kongu Rongu?

the third DLC will be Cao Cao

>>529852989
Of course.
No way it comes out before the Total War: Medieval III - Hordes of the Khanate DLC.

Guys, what if Total War Warhammer III is nothing more than a sophisticated Bop-It made by TCAL and SEGA for manchildren?

>>529853178
more like CACA, the new nurgle LL.

>>529853008
No not king kong but the supreme gentleman liu biao

>>529854116
Ling Longu, got it.

>>529853495
does the Bop-It serve Ghorth da Grimaz? Can it be said to be BRAJJJ?

Getting obsessed with the 'win a campaign on very hard' achievements is retarded and I should stop, right?

>>529853008
No, Kong Rong kinda looks like a chinese version of Will Smith.

that was a brutal turn 7 army for the girls

Thank Nurgle for garrisons and thank Epidemius for being an immovable object.

We can only attack armies and settlements that are infected with plagues. The early game is going to be extremely defensive.

I think you meant to say 40K(INGS)

>>529801119
If you rank up their yellow lines and give them good items and some traits they do great, at least the glade lords and captains do for me. Having a variety of mounts helps too. Also you want to be providing auras for your ranged troops, not charging into melee (until you run out of ammo)

>>529858605

>when not possible, lowest tier variants first

>>529868804
of course klaus. now go hold your ground against that carnosaur. You have to hold it for at least long enough so our guns can get rid of it. No, sorry, I can send the battle priest, he's busy holding the line against the saurus. But don't worry, I'll make sure your body is retrieved and sent to a garden of mor if things take a turn for the worse. But I'm sure you'll do it man, you're knight material. Oh, no, you still have another 5 years of service before you can apply to knighthood, so holding that carnosaur is not an insta ticket to it. Probably if you hold a bloodthirsted we could think about taking a year or two from your service.

>>529868804
>Needs to get a barracks to get the shielded version (also sucks)
>Doesn't even get silver shields

I often find myself shouting FOLD THAT FLANK! SEND THE HIT SQUAD AGAINST THAT LORD! Anyone else?

Which dlc should I get if I have 3?
Chaos dwarfs seem like the best

What is the point of cooldown reducing abilities having a duration?
The ogres have an ability that decreases cooldowns by 30 seconds... for 35 second duration? even though it takes effect instantly? and then it has a 90 second cooldown?

So the ability basically has a 125 second cooldown?

I am unbelievably bad at these games. You wouldn't think I'm being serious.
I lose campaigns an hour into them in both Warhammer 3 and Three Kingdoms.
I just applied hammer and anvil for the first time and finally won a fight. What a good feeling.

>>529871747
how come you are bad? is it because you can't micro your army, is it because you don't know what buildings you should build on the campaign map? do you not know what skills to level up on your characters? do you understand diplomacy?

>>529847126
I dont think there is a single tww track that I memorized in the entire trilogy
Yet I still remember this banger to this day
https://youtu.be/vHbfBSopsXw?si=1JQVmLwZyBhKa78R

>>529876080
Yeah, pretty same. The only battle track I remember is that one empire track, the one with chorus.
I do think that some of the campaign tracks are pretty neat tho. The one with the woman singer, the skaven throat singing, the flute one. Richard Beddow seems to generally be much better with the campaign side.
The only game I felt he performed well on the battle side of thing was in Attila.

>>529876080
I can still hear this one in my head
https://youtu.be/oOFSCqmzSDY?si=g0rfE-aEZfZFfmvM

>>529876495
*choir, not chorus

>>529876495
True, the battle themes have been a nothingburger since beddow took the helm and Attila is saved by throat singing
The only battle theme I recall is the vampire counts one because of the cadenced crescendo part

Atleast zimmer can bring bangers like interstellar soundtrack, beddow cant even do that, its all background music

News when?

>>529876761
People are being overall too negative, these compositions are great and convey the escalating tension of battle well, I think they just suffer from VERY flat mixing bringing down the highs and heightening the lows resulting in "safe" background feeling sound. Unlike Van Dyck none of the orchestral sections are given their own sonic space with differing channels and degrees of reverb - the horns, the strings, the percussion, it's all just faintly "there", never more

>>529879965
Couldn't have said it better myself.

>>529800890
Funnily enough, the threat of that exact incredibly specific scenario happening is one of the only things in the entire history of the Warhammer world that not only got the Skaven to work together, nor simply to work alongside the races of order, but to get the Council of thirteen to lay their own bodies on the line and give their lives to help stop Nagash from skeletonizing the world.
Nagash was literally such a world-ending threat that he made Skaven discover and embrace the concept of self-sacrifice .

>>529880827
>ET and Nagashwank

>>529880928
Nagashwank is BASED

>>529880928
>ET
Nigga I’m talking about Nehekhara’s backstory.
Nagash made a plague that killed nearly everyone and took Nehekhara’s last living King prisoner. He was gonna cast a spell to turn at least the whole country into his undead empire and use that to conquer the world.
The Council of 13 freed the king, gave him a warpstone sword, and directly held back Nagash’s spell until the king had hacked him to pieces (most of them exploded from the strain)

>>529879965
That's because they're made to be dynamic, each section requires a "losing" and "winning" version and ways to mix into other variants. It's why Peaches recorded each in-game and had to splice the dynamic versions himself

>>529883721
Skarsnik

>>529883721
grom

>>529883721
Grom

The ai again tried to corner camp, someone is seriously feeding them legend videos. Also, the
new units of the empire are absolutely busted goddamn. at least it isn't trying to bring long rifles anymore.

>>529883721

sure warhammer music is extremely forgettable, but his Attila theme remains one of my all-time favourite tracks of any tw game

How is azag nowadays

Throt is the most fun skaven lord, nothing better than watching a stack of rat ogres buffed to high hells tear shit up

>>529885359

>>529885830
thank you Nagash, you're still weak tho

what the fuck is the point of goblin hewers? is it even an artillery piece? how do I use this thing

Which DLC do you need to play Tzeentch and Nurgle

>>529886015
CoC

>>529886015
None, they come in base WH3

>>529886003
it hews goblins

>>529884807
Classic Empire jankiness involving artillery crews dropping everything to stand and fight to the last as gunlines are a tactic above the AI's comprehension

Any fun ideas for a Skarsnik campaign?

40k total war is never gonna happen because it will never work with the game style. What, are you gonna be fine with space marines with single fire bolters?
It's gonna be age of shitmar and you niggas will buy it.

let it go

>be me
>total war player
>become a big fan of dwarfs and then chaos dwarfs
>can't even play the legendard lords in warhammer
>chaos dwarfs are getting released in AOS but not warhammer fantasy
Goddamn it
Also why don't rangers have a model to represent them? It's fucking bullshit

>>529886963
>AoS
would be great. A lot of cool stuff in the setting but I doubt it since, most armies are criminally underdeveloped miniature-wise.

>>529886003
It fucks shit up.

>>529886003
despite the name, its job is to delete monster.

If they go AoS it will be a Hyena's tier disaster for CA.
No where near enough people like AoS or would even try it in the current climate when they slap a female black sigmarine on the cover with a side shave and dreads.

ESPECIALLY not after 10 years of the WHFB being brought back from the brink via Total War and Vermintide. No one is going to be shamed into repeating mantra about brave and stunning black chick leads wimpy white men while her brave and lesbian crew cut sisters fly into battle to save....nothing? AoS has no permanence, by design. The setting is ripping off MTG with its 'endless realms' bullshit so there is not stakes.

AoS cannot stand on its own legs as rule of cool since it just is NOT cool visually. Its Chinese mobile tier but without any tits. So it appeals exactly to who? I do not mean who is going top pretend on twitter and facebook and reddit threads. I mean who is going to actually buy it? Going off all other AoS games sub 1000 globally.

CA cannot afford another hyena's. Not with their last standing, and core money maker. AoS is never happening and the poor deluded bastards who actually got invested in the 'setting' have been huffing copium for 10 years now.

>>529888267
also doesn't help I can't name a single original character in World of Sigmar

Ok so I can't use gyrocopters against Vampire Coast
I guess artillery would be best but I don't have the time to sit there and recruit them with my crapstack

If Hyenas released you would've gotten Medieval 3 due to Med 3 being the "smash glass in case of bankruptcy" sc enario. But you didnt trvst the plan now you're stuck here. No DLC no News and begging for Medieval 3

Saving this

>>529888315
That is because there is no setting to speak of. GW thought they could salvage WHFB by making it a rip off of MTG where they are free to do what they want whenever they want and wave it away as multiple dimensions/worlds/realms whatever.

Doesn't work with TT wargaming and it doesn't work as a setting to base books, games, tv and movies in. All that means is no one cares about it at all. Think about 40k for example. Abbadon has been around for 38 years. There is a core of named individuals, armies, factions, worlds, cultures and events that affect them in 40k for 38 fucking years. Sure, things change like Horus not just being a rogue general, Black Templars USED to be non religious and fanatic Imperial Truth promoters - the only ones left for a long time.

Not every change is good but there is history and pedigree there. AoS, if it exists in 30 years, by design has nothing to to establish or attach itself to. All they can do is reference WHFB and try to get people to accept it wearing its skin.

AoS is literally a transvestite setting. It is wearing the skin of something it is not, and can never really be and everyone involved is insisting you ignore your lying eyes and ears.

pic related is what Kislev would look like if WH3 came out in 2010. Instead we get AoS styled garbage retrofitted to the setting. Kislev and Cathay don't fit, as they are - but they could. Modern GW and CA are filled with onions drinking faggots who are more worried about offending each other than working. All the history nerds from both are gone, and it fucking shows.

>>529888267
The problem with your logic is that you expect them to act rational. They can just go retard again as with hyenas, or gw can go full retard and presure them into it, and sega can go fuller retard and allow them to make it.

>>529889419
Welp, guess Total War dies...

>>529888267
nobody cared about warhammer fantasy either before the release of TWW. most TWW players never played warhammer fantasy before playing TWW.

>>529889187
wow, a lot of nonsense for someone who has no idea what he is talking about.

>>529886003
Its a single-use "fuck this SEM in particular" shotgun. You aim it at anything with higher value than Goblin Hewer itself, watch it get deleted and then are left with half a unit of slayers wondering why you brought MP unit to SP campaign.

>>529852656
already beat this bitch up and stole his iron mine
i need to beat him up some more and steal his jade aswell if he gets uppity again

Guys, lets face it. Skaven DLC is never going to happen. The game engine simply does not support automatic weapons such as Ratling guns or two-models-working-together like Jezzails. Enjoy your single shot Ratlings and Jezzails without shieldbearers.

Yes, next TWs are Medieval 3 and 40K.
I know CA is retarded, but SEGA is kicking their asses to actually make shit that sells. Also SEGA saw the GaaS potential of the Warhammer series, they expect 40K to be even bigger.

>>529909625
If 40K does become a reality I kind of expect CA to milk it for as long as possible.
Where does Total War even go after that?

>>529910101
>Where does Total War even go after that?
ToW Saga

>>529910101
From what I know, SEGA wants another 10 year deal for 40k, and historical titles will release in between with 4~5 years between releases.
The plan for fantasy is "medieval/classic fantasy title~sci-fi title" LOTR and GoT are running up after 40k.

>>529910101
I don't think there'd be an after 40K
40K fans are vast hoards of consoomers who can and will buy anything with the brand on it, so CA and Sega could keep milking them for year after year with the odd Saga title thrown in every now and then

>40k
Imagine the feature bloat.

>>529910760
With the US being the campaign map?

>>529910573
It would be infinitely easier to use the license, even if I want Lotr above it.

TWH literally resurrected WHFB by disregarding the current form of the franchise.
No reason it couldn't be done with STar Wars.

TW: Star Wars (expanded universe with non of the cringe more modern-ish stuff)
There'd be a SHIT ton of factions.

>>529910849
Problem is that Disney is hellbent on genuinely killing that franchise, so they would 100% force sequelshit into the game, and lots of it.

>>529910849
The problem with star wars is that it would be way harder to milk it for a decade like 40K. Also if the game comes out fucked with bugs and features, no one will eat it up like 40k fans would still eat their game in the same state.

>>529910947

So?

Man wouldn't that be the dream. It's incredible to me how CA had a clear path for their future and instead they just decided run off of a cliff like possessed pigs.

>>529911039
>Also if the game comes out fucked with bugs and features, no one will eat it up like 40k fans would still eat their game in the same state.

you no rike cathay?

>>529911008
For the most part Star Wars is about two factions. Republic vs. Confederacy, Rebel Alliance vs. Galactic Empire, First Ord... oh, we're not talking about Disney. But still, you can add stuff like Mandalorians or cartels, but it's still not enough. Compared to Warhammer Star Wars feels a bit small, maybe enough for one game.

5 minutes.

>>529911320
>just get rid of half the game's content
If that's what it takes to Genocide Gungans with my B1s, sure.
Never really saw the point of choosing to seethe over stuff you have the option to opt out off.

>>529911436
You okay?

>>529911668
it would have to be in the KOTOR setting

>>529911668
Not only that, but 40k is also in active development at GW, a new edition is right around the corner with new units and shit. It's has literal endless DLC and game potential.

Star Wars is a fantasy Saga.

>>529912019
wait, I forgot Disney shittified that too with their high republic trash

>>529912003
>Never really saw the point of choosing to seethe over stuff you have the option to opt out off.
Nigger I'm not going to opt out of half a game. Are you retarded? Then you'd end up with a situation like EA Battlefront 2 where a third of the maps and heroes go completely unused while the Clone Era and Imperial Era have empty fucking hero slots and there's shit like Ewoks on Hoth because there's just not enough heroes to fill the roster.

>>529912003
>You okay?
No...

Yes, the Rebel Alliance is famously mostly DIY converted stuff, which is why you chose it for your point, although it still has plenty of stuff and I like that aesthetic. The Empire alone has basically limitless cool looking toys for DLC and you know that, which is why you didn't mention them. That's putting aside the clonemanii from the Republic that you also know would sell and give CA limitless content to pick from.

I think cheating is when there is infidelity happening but the cuck doesnt know
While NTR the cuck is made aware willingly or unwillingly

Alarielle fucking left and right however she please = cheating.
N'kari slowly corrupt and steal Alarielle from Tyrion = NTR

I don't understand why they give them gigantic cocks that look disgusting

The first week of July is nearly over. Still no news.
Seriously CA?

>>529921871
there's nothing to "understand"
fetishes aren't something you study, it either makes your cock hard or it doesn't it's that simple

>>529921871
I have no idea what a pussy is like to touch or have but I'm intimate with cock

>>529924876
fair point

>>529924876
bags of coins

Has TCAL wronged us?

>>529924308
Anniversary title announcements will be half a year later, it's insane how much everything got delayed

another day without news. time to kill myself.

>>529923972
Why do people love NTR? Some mysteries we'll never get an answer to

is ranged OP?

>>529923972
Yeah I wish there were more just 6-8 inch range

>>529926424
That is the strangest one, how can you derive sexual satisfaction from your gf cheating on you?

>>529926542
Then we shall fight in the shade

>>529926585
Zero self esteem, seeing yourself as unloveable but still wanting an immersive sexual scenario where the woman is peaking in arousal

>>529924308
I'm sorry, some Hyenas stole the news. JOIN THE PACK!

did they delay this shit because of them?

>>529926542

Weren't we supposed to be in the middle of a Total War anniversary with news, events and goodies until the end of the year?

You got a wallpaper. ONE (1) singular FREE wallpaper. Free means it cost nothing to download. What else do you want, a mountain of gold and diamonds? You got so much already, you spoiled git.

It would be kino

>>529935320
it's confirmed on the 18th
it is time to lose all hope

what makes them think anyone appreciates their high quality dlcs?
99% of reddit and 100% of twg think kangz and chorfs dlcs took same amount of effort
silly tca
go back to reskins or go broke

>>529935505
That's a GW tabletop event, not a CA one.
There's no reason for them to be connected at all.

>>529936710
New skaven lineup for tabletop to go with the skaven DLC in TW

>>529936918
Both AoS and the Old World shit are unrelated to the game.

>>529927553
I watched that video and they were teasing something with hats.

Is Old World getting chorf models?

>>529921896
>Got bleached by Sigmar himself
>2500 years later, she disguises as the COLD AND ALOOF Imperial Dragon in Altdorf so she can have kinky pet play sex with Franz
Damn, how many other emperors do you think she fucked?

>>529937608
>chorfs before all the other races (that already exist but Games Workshop need to slap 'The Old World' on them)

>>529937938
They are simply hyping the setting up. Also this is also thanks to CA and Chorfs popularity in WH3.
If people think 40k isn't coming they're insane, I bet GW will use it to test the water for shit in on the tabletop.

>>529938271
It'd be funny if the Old World ends up outselling Shitemar

>>529938271
Just 2 more weeks

>lot of hats jock
>mention"big hat, best hat"

>skarbrand rolls up to my border with 6 fully stacked armies

what did he mean by this?

>>529937772
She 100% has a queen of hearts tattoo

Playing Athens in Rome 2. How do I win battles with only hoplites? Sure they're great spearmen but they suck at killing shit and my roster is just 6 different types of hoplite and that's it.

>>529933185
Does the creator of this image not realize our morals stem from the tribal nature of humanity?

>>529938415
You can bet your ass it'll once it gets more fleshed out.

>>529926542
lmao wtf

>>529939603
they're the anvil, just keep the enemies stuck while your javelins move around the flanks and citizen cavalry hits the rear

or use pikemen which are way better, Alexander won using those over traditional hoplites for a reason

>have to fight EVERY battle against empire manually because their autoresolve value is totally retarded

>>529939760
It was made by an Engineer.

Eat shit, manlet

>>529939476
Eh that’s too memey, it should be something more specific and flavorful as a symbol of the Empire, like the Imperial Cross or Griffon.

uninstalled until 7.0, what is the best game for coping with wh3 withdrawls so i dont come crawling back
three kingdoms?

>>529937772
She is 100% confirmed to be in the Empire around the time of Magnus the Pious.

>>529940029
>4 (four) heroes in the army
Is that good for VC? I've only been using two.

>>529939603
>Only hoplites
You don't, but city/settlement defense I guess.

>>529941942
wh2

>>529941942
3K in Romance mode if you want the magic and one man heroes, Pharaoh Dynasties if you want a solid TW.

>>529942023
Based Magnus
I’m sure they’d bond over a shared love of cannons

>>529927553
>TWO WEEKS

>>529942046
Vamps have some of the best heroes in the game. You want as many as possible in your armies. Hero spam is the only fun thing you can do with them.

>>529942239
i will do this as a last resort, its been years so it would feel different but its still essentially the same game
>>529942627
the game is on sale for $15 right now so might be worth it
i liked the mythos mode in troy but i didnt like the campaign map, is romance mode anything like that?

>>529942972
What about 1 lord and 19 heroes?

Aranessa really could use more human infantry.

>>529943078
1 Lord, 1 Necro and 18 Vamps is unironically the best possible army comp for them.

>>529942046
You're right I should only use vampire for replenishment and banshee for campaign movement
Wight King is unironically garbage, he gets beaten by fucking steamtanks ffs

>>529943079
Aranessa really could use some lords that actually buff mortals.

>>529942976
Haven't played Mythos mode but in Romance mode the generals are single entities and as strong as dynasty warriors characters with magic abilities so similar to warham generals.

>>529942972
sure, because hitting the enemy mired in your skeletons with the many high speed, high charge bonus unit options is soooo boring, or hiding in a forest from the enemy's missiles while sapping their HP with your mortis engines and finishing them off with a well placed wind of death or two.

>>529943508
that sounds like mythos minus the monster hunts, will check it out

>>529943782
>or hiding in a forest from the enemy's missiles while sapping their HP with your mortis engines
my nigga, its so fun grouping up your skelly army and have the AI bash their heads against them while they just slowly die to mortis engine without doing any damage to the BLOB

>>529943782
Alternative is snooze inducing skeleton spam. Counts are just a super boring faction.

I like hero spam because I only just need 20 good men.

Painting a mortis engine looks like a right pain in the arse

>>529944529
This should be the wight king final mount

>>529944108
this is what happens when people try to ape legend. The vamps have incredibly hard hitting and fast shock troops and aerial assaults on walls in sieges are especially fun.

>>529944829
Wow. Aerial assaults, like other factions don't have flying units. Literally their one gimmick is endless amounts of completely free melee trash.

>>529945047
That is what makes their hammers so good, they are truly the stars of the battle, the fact that you can heal them to full every battle, the fact that you have infinite skellies at your disposal to tie up the enemy, the fact that they cause fear and terror
They are the best at this

>>529945689
I don't know how to use cairn wraiths or crypt horrors, they always seem to die quickly and grave guard with great weapons do a much better job vs armour

>>529942972
>hero spam
>fun

>>529946053
>Send zombies/skellies forward towards enemy, move wraiths/horrors/knights/whatever behind enemy and charge
Wow so hard and complicated.

>>529946053
Carn wraiths you just play them like regular cav, maneuver them around and run down archers, fleeing enemies and other fragile shit or crash them into the back of an engaged melee unit

Crypt horrors are goated, can really do lots of things
Put them right on top of a melee unit to reinforce it and they will barely lose any hp, run them at ranged/squishies, use them to run down fleeing enemies with their poison, use them like cav

My favorite way to play them though is use a Strigoi Lord with -40% upkeep, some aoe melee buff items (or melee debuffs) and 19 Crypt horrors
Stack every single unit on top of the Lord so you just have a literal condensed ball of death that takes 0 damage if they have regen tech
Just run at them

>>529946405
please no bully
>>529947018
Thanks I've been putting the wraiths on the frontline and it hasn't been working out.

SISTERS OF TWILIGHT!

Why are ogres too retarded to build settlements up to 5?

>>529947208
Yeah their melee defense sucks ass for frontlining, but they're speedy fucks so you can position them accordingly
And as soon as they attack any ranged unit or even light cavalry they're gonna be so slow that they can never escape until something peels your Wraiths off of them

this seems to be the only place to ask for this but does anyone have that queek headgiver pic of him with cum in his mouth saying how much he loves giving blowjobs?

The Biggest Mystery in Total war Warhammer3 is About Durthu....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqRAfLw1hDI
This is what happened when I got the video analyzed by a free AI.

Absolutely! This YouTube Short titled “The Biggest Mystery in Total War: Warhammer 3 is About Durthu...” humorously unpacks an oddity in the game’s AI behavior—specifically focusing on the character Durthu, one of the ancient tree spirits (treemen) in Total War: Warhammer III.

What’s the Video About?
This is a meme-style, blink-and-you-miss-it clip dramatizing a bizarre in-game scenario: Durthu ends up in a hilariously unlikely position—flat on his back or otherwise incapacitated—and no one knows exactly how. The real “mystery” lies in how this towering treeman could have been laid low by stubby dwarfs (a.k.a. the Dawi) who are literally knee-high compared to him.

Theories and Running Gags (From the Comments)
Fans flood the comments with comedic speculation:

Bolt throwers or artillery sniping Durthu between the eyes

Gyrocopters delivering airborne justice (“The second gyrocopter has hit Durthu!”—a parody of historical phrases)

Dwarfs stacking themselves on top of one another to reach his head

One user jokes: “Durthu: It’s over Dawi! I have the high ground!”

Another posits the tragicomic idea that Durthu tripped over his own sword

These comments riff off the absurdity of game logic and are drenched in affectionate Warhammer lore references.

1..2

>>529949109
The Real “Mystery”
While the video plays coy with a punchline, seasoned players recognize this might be a glitch or scripting oddity in the game’s campaign AI. Durthu’s interactions with Wissenland (and dwarfs) in particular have sparked theories about:

Broken AI diplomacy or aggression algorithms

Pre-scripted campaign behaviors

Lore callbacks woven playfully into game mechanics

Style and Humor
This Short uses quick-cut animation, dramatic music, and slow-mo zooms on a stunned Durthu to drive home the joke

Classic Warhammer inside-jokes give longtime players something to chew on while still amusing casual viewers

Final Verdict
This is less about unraveling a canonical mystery and more about spotlighting one of those strange in-game moments fans love to obsess over. Whether it's Durthu being felled by improbable dwarven trickery or AI weirdness, only he knows what really happened that day… and he’s not talking .

Want a deeper dive into Durthu's lore or how the AI behaves around Wood Elves in Total War? I’ve got branches of info ready to share.

ITS UP!!! https://youtu.be/F4xnqdFRF-8
>Legend says the actual disaster is picking Daniel
Agreed, Legends such a funny guy, hopefully they rework how shit Daniel is from his ancillary drop chance to his starting army being squishy as fuck to his lack of a unique mechanic outside of changing his body.

Elite spamming as VC is soulless

Waiting for the next 40k waiting room

>>529950709
The correct term is cheating btw, every army should be predominantly lower tier 1 or 2 units with 1-2 T4 or T5 units at most
>inb4 "b-b-but the AI cheats!"
Comparing yourself to an NPC is pathetic

>>529951708
It is not a matter of honour but taste
