/twg/ Total War General

No, you aren't looking at it right. See the half-mask, the pointed ears and the green outfit?

That's definitely Asrai. It even says so in the filename, so this is an open and shut case.

and here is the original version

Flagellants are op as fuck dont no why faggets are saying they are shit

>playing on normal

>Estalia has taken over Sylvania

Well I guess it is turn 250...

Because they are complete shit.

If the fight isn't down to moral, so anything above Normal, they die like bitches. I learned it the hard way by trying to emulate 10k Flagellants defending Middenheim.

It didn't go so well

There not front line troops idiots use there speed to flank fuck twg is fucking dumb

>10k Flagellants defending Middenheim
I laughed, you are doing Sigmars work user.

Wouldn't want to be stuck on that wall

desu that whole ban is retarded as fuck

Have you tried using a specialized general? Spearmen are pretty crap until you get honest steel too.

Genevieve Dieudonné legendary hero when?

spooky

LMAO at all the poor fags saying there just reskined units and the dlc is shit the units are unique and fun as fuck too use

So the next dlc is Grombrindal / Snorri Whitebeard. If it's a lord pack, who will oppose him? Historically he was besties with Malekith and fought ancient orcs. Will they just stick Skarsnik in and call it a day?

>no user, they wont add Ariel because she hangs out in the oak even though i have a memory of her generally being around in 8th
yes and Vlad was supposed to be dead for good senpai

Can CA come up with new races and implement them?

only if GW gives them an a-ok on it
which they 100% wouldnt

grombrindal dlc is not the next one

Damn. I really wanna see a greco-persian human race with greek and persian mythological monsters and heroes.

next is wood elves user

so is the archlector a hero or a lord?

that sounds retarded

if new units seems extremely unlikely, better not talk about new races

lord

Are you still playing with the level 1 bug?

sadly the most i can think of GW letting them come up with themselves is some kind of minor political faction or something in the empire

Lord. Has access to warrior priest battle prayers, warhorse, and upgrades to flagellants. Volkmar is the legendary lord version of this, he however has a skill that boosts warrior priest recruitment level by 5.

he's a lord version of the battle priest. Actually, 80% of the heroes can be recruited as lords (with buffed stats, visuals and a different names)

For exemple, the goblin boss hero can be recruited as a goblin warboss lord on the TT

Are horses still busted and ruining combat potential?

Ariel hasn't had rules since 4th. The Sisters of twilight are deputized in her stead.

>The Sisters of Twilight first appeared during the long years of Ariel’s self-imposed exile from the mortal realm, acting as her representatives upon the great council. None save for the Mage Queen know the sisters’ true origins, though there are many rumours that purport to fill this gulf. Some say that they are the splintered halves of a young Elf-maid who became lost in the Wildwoods long ago, and was remade so that she might better serve the Weave. Others recount that the twins are the darkest and lightest aspects of Ariel’s spirit made manifest, her passion and mercy split apart from her soul so that they can no longer dominate her being as they have in the past. A few stories even claim that the sisters are as divine as Ariel and Orion, but most commonplace by far are the songs and tales that claim the twins are simply Ariel’s daughters, and thus princesses of Athel Loren by right of blood and lineage. Ultimately, however, the Wood Elves debate and retell these possibilities solely out of their love of storycraft. They know that Naestra and Arahan speak with the authority of their beloved Mage Queen; no secret of the past will ever change that.

No, they were never busted. double movement speed, bonus armor, and charge bonus, and health bonus greatly outweigh the decrease in attack speed. The only downside is if you were planning on having him slog out in melee against an enemy battalion which would be retarded since you 19 slots in your army for cheaper units that do that job better.

I remember seeing here something about a medieval campaign mod for Attila. Does anyone know how far is it from releasing?

Rollan!

it is released, but has no campaign yet, only custom battles

Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD

Why?Alexander wanted to merge the cultures. Maybe you could have some warhammer alexander equivalent who succeded and creates a people located in the bad lands who fights against the chaos dwarfs and tomb kings.

and bretonnia hasnt been updated since 6th edition, whats your point
besides, naestra & arahan arent lords; they are heroes

Skellies to the left of me
Zombies to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

All of the current lords have 8th edition rules. That is his point. Bretonnia is obviously only an exception to this, not the rule.

Herman wasn't a lord option in the tabletop, and they made him one.

how about beastmen then
and the fact vlad was supposed to be dead but they got permission from GW

He only wanted to merge the cultures so he could better control everyone.

Whats the best way to use flagellants? What are the kinds of units you should be targeting with them?

i'd say they are pretty straight forward flankers to be ran into infantry
i recall they might have pretty high speed so they might catch skirmishers too

I AM PRINZ UND EMPEROR

Why do I love Vlad so much?
It's pretty simple when I think about it.
Vlad isn't just the best character in the Warhammer world, he might just be the greatest character of all time.
Just imaging him riding through the swamps of Sylvania, the wind in his hair, his mighty steed below him.
As he rides through the World's Edge Mountains, the Lahmians swoon at his very scent.
They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold in Marienburg under the the name of "Carstein Orgasm."
The very nature of Vlad is mystery.
Could he be playing a deeper game than even his creator realizes?
The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as the written world, and has free will to do whatever he sees fit.
However, Vlad is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that he does not even use these powers.
Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Vlad is not one that is easily penetrated.
Vlad is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound to the page at all is his will to exist within the preordained boundaries of his world.
Vlad is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true focus and beauty.
Observe his playful smile, his gorgeous and rippling biceps, his gallant nose, and most importantly, his eyes.
His eyes, like pools of saffron, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of Vlad. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt.
Vlad is not just a character, a formless collection of words and images, he is himself is the binding that holds the Warhammer world together.
Without Vlad, the entire Warhammer world, the entire Games Workshop as we know it crumbles.
The Reik would stop flowing without Vlad, Athel Loren would become a desolate crater, and Norsca would melt without his frosty gaze.
These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Vlad so much.

Bretonnia's 6th edition book was current and legal until the end. Wood Elves have had two army books without Ariel- she last featured in an armybook published in 1996. By contrast, Vlad certainly had rules in the 8th edition book. I wouldn't say its impossible, but it'd be uncharacteristically inventive and original of CA to create a character who has no model or rules in 8th, and uncharacteristic of GW to sign off on it.

It is true the sisters are only heroes, but so was Ghorst.

So? The HRE was just a loose clusterfuck of many different states so some emperor with not much power at all could feel relevant and strong yet it is portraited as the morally best and most just faction in warhammer.

if CA are lazy AF they will make the LLs be Orion, maybe possibly Durthu and Araloth

Best case scenario they skip Araloth because he is SO. FUCKING. BASIC. and do Ariel instead
Araloth is fucking worthless i hate araloth so fucking much fuck

The HRE was a mutual coalition of germanic states headed by an elected emperor. They were all ethnic germans and had common culture and religion. The empire in warhammer is based on them.

He was added as a level 2 Necromancer, so I guess that would make him a hero, but Total War Warhammer doesn't have Legendary Heroes, so he got bumped to Lord.

You're really missing the point here. Beastmen and Bretonnia are both only using their latest army books, and Vlad is in the 8th edition VC army book.

I get it. You really want your favorite characters from past editions to make the cut, but you are just grasping at straws.

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer Ariel as well. I just find it very unlikely.

I feel like the Sisters have a good chance due to pressure to have a female LL.

I want to be dominated by a best elf!

POST VLAD

Imagine being Isabella Von Carstein in Sylvania and having to be all like "damn, Vlad Von Carstein, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your undead body and horrific rotten monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my living version and the real undead me." when all she really wants to do is suck another 16 year old's blood in her dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Isabella and not only sit in that throne while Vlad von carstein flaunts his disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing his necrosis and leathery skin, and just sit there, war after war, hour after hour, while he perfected that necromancy. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking visage but his haughty attitude as everyone on Sylvania tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, VLAD VON CARSTEIN LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his ghoulish fucking zombie face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of WISSENLAND STUDS and PRINCES and later alleged 'disappeared' virgins for your ENTIRE LIFE coming straight out of the boonies in Sylvania. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the necrosis that's breaking out on his dimpled stomach as he sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get married to sit there and revel in his "statuesque (for that is what he calls himself)" beauty, the beauty he worked so hard for with vampirism in the previous eras. And then the count of Sylvania,Otto calls for another proposal, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the sylvanian security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Isabella Von Carstein. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Noobish question here, I'm playing as vamps for the first time and the dorf regions to the south were rushed and conquered by orcs pretty early and now belong to greenskins. If I attack since I hate having grimmy so near can I reestablish the previous dwarf faction somehow, by liberating or something?

No, dead factions are dead for good, you can always raze the territory and be done with it

At most, you can trigger a rebellion there and the rebels should revive their faction if they take a settlement

kek

Damn. And the rest of the manlets dont seem do be doing anything against the orcs, even f I pay them. And if i take my armies there to help they hate me, I mean really

Total war is all about the battles. The actual campaign and diplomacy has always been shit. You should check out paradox games if you want something meaningful.

>Rush them into skirmish range to absorb damage
>Throw them into front lines to slow down the enemy, tire them, and allow your army time to position and flank
>Hide them and rush them into the exposed flanks or against weak units left by themselves

Well, if they intend to do Chaos Dwarfs (which they do, at least according to the leaked DLC list) then they'll have to add none-8th ed legal characters to the game eventually.

Legion of Azgorh only had 1 named character.

I know it sucks sometimes but I did a dwarf campaign previously and would like to avoid fighting greenshits again for a while. Oh well

They'd probably just make up a lord or include them without a named character and maybe a hero.

>Ariel, Queen in the Woods
castleage.wikia.com/wiki/Sylvanas,_the_Sorceress_Queen

I love how hammy all the units in this game are.
>NECROMANC-AHHHH!
>BE STILL MY BEATING HEART!
>LIFE IS A PHASE!
>MEHEHEHEHEHEHEH

this guy gets it

And then you have
>DO NOT MOCK ME

IM BUSY

who says the above line?

>BALthasar GELT!
>WIND OF CHAMON, I will!
>THEY WILL NEEEEVVVEEER MOVE, AGAIN!

That was the entire purpose of Warhammer in general, no?

>ONLY IN UNLIFE WILL THEY SEE!
>NAGASH WAS WEAK, WITNESS TRUE POOOWWEER!

Vlad when you select him while he's in combat?

Is there a working faction unlocker yet?

>GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

So, the vampire cunts roster ist the first to be complete, right?

>THEY HAVE WROOONGED US!

They are still missing their swarm units and the coven throne.

correct

Do you think we going to get some Blood Bowl events in the future?

pretty much, besides the swarms (wich may not be doable) and the coven throne (which is more of a hero mount)

Also, diferent bloodlines if you want to count them as such

Blood Bowl is set in a different universe.

the deep thinking goblin sits there, in the back of your head. It sometimes call out on you, gives you a drive, changes your mood.

The deep thinking goblin sometimes comes out when I make a post that is not up to par. It tells me "no, this isnt right". And then the deep thinking goblin comes out with vidya, or tv series and tells me "no, this is boring, do something else"

and then there is nothing that can change that.

The deep thinking goblin even goes further, when you look at a QT girl, and the deep thinking goblin goes like "is she wearing piercings? Are those tattoo's? What the fuck is she eating? Does she look like she is pretty dumb and/or a consumer whore?" And then no matter what, without the deep thinking goblins approval. Nothing works anymore.

The deep thinking goblin forces you to give a cringeworthy smile, to a marketer, work employee or some other person that EVERYONE likes, because the deep thinking goblin tells you that what that person is and does, its shit.

The deep thinking goblin goes out into the city, sees all the shitskins, niggers, fat people, and other assortments of degenerate retards and tells you "when they smile at you, give them the meanest look you can muster, because they are shit."

and still, this deep thinking goblin is like a god.

>muslims repeatedly bomb france
>harass french women at the beach and call them whores
>generally act like shits
>france bans their shit to tell them to fuck off
>"whoa man don't be such a hitler"

No, you're the retarded one

>muslims repeatedly bomb france
>harass french women at the beach and call them whores
>generally act like shits
>france bans a single piece of clothing completely unrelated to that behaviour.

France are the retarded ones m8

You Mork?

They would be unplayable factions like the savage men of Naggaroth who are just injuns.

The furthest they might go if GW makes a lot of money from this and feels like making more is letting Ind, Khuresh, Cathay and Nippon be put in game

That would have been the border princes if anything

Just pretend that Mourkain, the city in which humans and vampires were supposed to coexist, was that city. It was in fantasy Syria anyway.

I'm a Muslim and don't bomb France.

Please don't judge me because of lunatics. I don't call you Klu Klux Klan because of 60's.

Best thing ever.

It's a symbol of Islam and non-integration into French culture and society, that's why it's banned. Take your "muh freedoms" and shove it.
