>IS CALL OF THE BEASTMEN WORTH BUYING? The Beastmen are a cool faction but the pack is a bit overpriced for what you get. There probably won't be a price drop for some time, so if you really like the Beastmen then go ahead, otherwise wait it out.
>OVERCASTING SPELLS Double click a spell (it needs to be a boostable spell and you need to have enough magic in the magic pool) to overcast the spell There's a 50% chance that the caster damages itself though!
>QUEST BATTLE TELEPORT Select your lord (make sure not garrisoned or in a stance) Select the quest battle (on the map or through quest log) There's a button in the bottom right of the quest battle window that you can use to teleport for 5k gold (when the battle's finished you're automatically teleported back to your original position)
>GROUP ATTACK Group units with ctrl + g Select your group and right click the enemy All your units move and automatically direct themselves to engage enemies they get close to while maintaining formation

Owen Walker
They do, halberdiers are too squishy but I find you can get away with tercio formations(halberds with gunners interweaved) Only works OK late game if you have the extra attack and defense from your general.
Playing the radious mod for Attila, gotta say it's kind of funny fighting with pikes and longbows as the Geats.
Brayden Rivera
>Beardlings
Just fucking stop.
Dwarfs do not and should not have cheap disposable units.
Some lines about younger dwarfs sometimes helping to defend in sieges do not justify this fan-fiction shit.
William Edwards
Bolt throwers too
Lucas Gonzalez
But Radious already has a lot of new units. Just play that.
Eli Jenkins
If Vlad didn't start the Vampire Wars he'd probably have one.
Honestly, if Vlad just tried more political fuckery he could've become Emperor without trying to war the Empire apart. If nothing else, a sort of Magnus gambit could've also worked.
Mannfred could probably pull something like that too. Wait until Chaos fucked up everything, fortify the fuck out of everything, start showing up and say "I'll save you faggots but you better make me a real elector count." From there, he would just need to politik for 200-300 more years and become Emperor.
Ayden Bailey
Radious can't do more than mix and match existing models to a blasphemous end, crank the price dirt low, and make it easily recruitable.

Zachary Taylor
About beardlings, it feels wrong for a "dying race" to send it's youths to war (especially, as an spammable resource), just my two cents
>Radious can't do more than mix and match existing models No modder can do anything beyond that until CA bothers to release the needed plugins
Brody King
Exactly. The unit list that user made cannot be pointed as a modding request. It has to mean as a dream DLC unit list.
Just stop. Young adult dwarves are too valuable to be sent out to war, and if they go, they go with their clan, i.e in units of T1 dwarf warriors.

Elijah Lopez
>>Militia >>Free Company
Basically the same thing thematically and redundant mechanically, Free Company should be in, but there's no need for a separate Militia unit.
>>Archers
Agreed.
>>Pikemen
Nope, Empire doesn't use pikes.
>>State troops(dont have proper aesthetics but are implented)
Already in the game, what do you mean by "Proper aesthetics"?
>>Knight Orders
Knights of the White Wolf could be cool but every other order is the exact same thing with a different coat of paint. Which is why, just like in the Tabletop, they're all covered by the Empire Knights unit.
>>Dismounted cav(though this one applies to all factions)
That's a mechanic, not a unit, and CA apparently doesn't wanna implement it.
>>Huntsmen
Sure.
>>Sewer Watch
Why would the Sever Watch be sent to war, much less in large regiments?
>>Flagellants
Absolutely.

>free company >militia
Free companies are state-sanctioned and accompany state-troops in war. Militia is more of a rabble that rises in sieges, think like retainers in Shogun II sieges, not normal units.
>Pikemen They do in the fluff, it's more flaunted in southern realms, but they still use pikes in the Empire. For example, the Black Hearts omnibus has it in it's novels.
>Knights of Knightly Orders are not all the same, one example previously shown to you was White Wolf Knights who wield Great Weapons and worship Ulric. Every Knight Order is different in patron deity, creed, weapons, armor, etc.
>Dismounted Is a type of unit(see: pre-Warscape) and can also be a mechanic
>Sewer Watch They are already in constant war against Skaven, but would just be nice to wield them as anti-Skaven infantry(or at least have a bonus) considering the degree of fluff they have.

Literally coat of paint.
Putting in 15 barely distinct kinds of cavalry is the kind of shit modders should do (and already are doing)
For CA it's basically a waste of time, though adding a few of them as Regiments of Renown would be cool I guess, since they're basically supposed to be unit recolors anyway.
Camden Jenkins
All slightly daemonic units (except the lord of change) Additional hand weapon for warriors of chaos and chosen All the Chaos lores of magic w/their wizards
Adam Perez
He means t hat in MTW2 for example, once you had a fortress you could recruit Feudal Knights as cavalry, and a seperate unit, Dismounted Feudal Knights, who were more numerous and armoured in the same way but without horses and lances.

That was a long time ago to be fair, shitposters came(en masse) in mid 2014 and drove out most of the good Veeky Forumstorians. The kind of autists who constantly complain, shitpost, and hate Warhammer. The kind of people who launch shitstorms every thread to take the attention off Total War games.
Zachary Myers
Most of the historical discussion that lasts for a while is centered around WW1/2, not even related to TW, and that's only when Ivan&Bob are asleep, otherwise it quickly turns into shitflinging as usual.
The most "historical" "discussion" about earlier periods were the guy pushing for pike&shot against the yawning shitposter or wanking about the Rome tv series.
Christopher Williams
You mean now? I mean I think we had a few during Attila by people trying to prove that it was actually a pretty interesting time period to people who didn't know much about it. Rome 2 just started a fucking fire though, before R2 we had a few discussions about Roman history not like anyone didn't know it
Adam Martinez
Even then. I guess going skub/antiskub about overhand/underhand gets old fast.
Kevin Green
desu the current twg is pretty comfy in comparison except for the slav and other shitposting people who complain about "no more his ree fuck off warhambabs" are the ones ruining it if it mattered so much to them they would go ahead and post their osprey instead of whining instead of shitting up the thread for (you)s
Joseph Jenkins
This. /twg/ sank in quality so much by Atilla. Osprey and campaigns were a (slight)majority of images posted before Rome 2. That one shitposter complains 24/7 but does not post historical campaigns or movies or osprey, just an idiot looking for trouble,
Jonathan Perry
They're just lazy and entitled shitters that don't even play games anymore, they want others to play games in their stead and post content for them to shitpost about. Their posts should just be ignored and their opinions discarded.

IT'S NOT A DWARF LL
Future Content blog >Themed on a specific rivalry or conflict from the Warhammer Lore, Lord Packs contain brand new Legendary Lords and supporting units and characters for existing playable races.
Regiments of Renown blog >Spoilers: it’s somewhat… Grim >The first Lords Pack will ship with 18 of them – nine for one of the core playable races, and nine for another.
They go out of their way to draw a distinction between the "core playable races" (ie. Empire, Dwarf, Orc, Vampire) and the "other", implying that they're for one of the expansion races, Beastmen or Warriors of Chaos.
You can also basically confirm it's the Empire LL Volkmar the Grim, because they specifically mention the new Empire regiments of renown but also Sigmar's Blood, a book/campaign as a source for some of (or all?) the new units. Spoiler: Sigmar's Blood is about Volkmar trying to stop Mannchild von Carseat from resurrecting Nagash.
As for who his rival would be the only other named, not dead adversary of Volkmar would be this Daemon Prince pictured, Be'lakor. Who was around during the time period TWWH is currently set. Although Volkmar did spent most of his time attached to Be'lakor's battle standard during the Storm of Chaos so it was sort of a lopsided rivalry.

You're retarded. They're not going to put out fucking DLC for DLC, and they're not going to give Chaos Warriors a fourth (4th) LL lord while other races still only have 2.
You also have a poor grasp of English; it clearly says 'nine for one of the core playable races and nine for another (of the same).' 'Another' means it's a different core race. They would specify non-core if that wasn't the case.

You can feel free to stop spouting bullshit any time.
This single unit covers every Knightly Order except Knights of the White Wolf.
There are no Knight units with preferred enemy rules or magic blessings or any of the crap you're spouting off about, at least not in the edition that CA are actually adapting.
Orders are, like the provinces, just a way to determine theme and colour scheme for your plastic toys.
Now if you want to keep insisting that you're right please feel free to actually provide some proof.
