UPDATE: PEOPLE FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT ANYWAY AND OUT OF DAMAGE CONTROL CA WILL BE ADDING OFFICIAL SUPPORT FOR ADDING CUSTOM MAPS TO THE CAMPAIGN ALONGSIDE THE BRETONNIA UPDATE

>I could have 3 paladins for 1 green knight

GEE I WONDER WHAT PEOPLE WILL PICK

inb4 b8

Green knight, obviously.

Reminder that Nippon(tm) is best race

What's Green Knight stats? Does he worth it?

That is actually really badass artwork.

never forget

Average lord stats

One day, right lads?

Shit, that's lame. I thought he can solo archeon

Fantasy is dead, user. It's never coming back, not now or tomorrow, or ever.

Are fimir the faggots that reproduced via rape or am I thinking of something else?

>cathay
>torii

Is Age of Shitmar flopping? If it is we might see old WH fantasy brought back, otherwise forget it.

Archaon is already a bitch compared to his tabletop/lore self, if the green knight could beat him I'd fucking pick up modding and fix it myself

Naw, you're correct. Fimir were one of the first unique races developed by Games Workshop, and they were pretty rapidly swept under the rug because, yeah, they reproduce entirely via rape. Most people have never heard of them, even the people that are active in the scene.

Even if it flopped, they wouldn't bring Fantasy back.

It's dead. Total Warhammer is the epitaph, that's why CA is putting so much effort into it.

The dev speaking has some real bitch tits, he looks like the type of guy that cries and has a micropenis

Just changing stat is super easy user, just do it

>Not at the moment

Red Duke confirmed.

It's definitely not doing well, but GW will never backtrack on End Times so they're just going to steam right through all negative reception.

But he also has ethereal, causes terror, regen etc

The thing I dislike about the fan rulebooks are how cluttered and derivative they are.

Most of them suffer from being way too close to the source material: Nippon is just a bunch of vaguely historical japanese stuff with some mythological monsters thrown in here and there. Ind is just medieval India with a bunch of mythological monsters, Cathay is just medieval China etc. They also have way, way too many units with almost identical roles. It's some seriously radious-tier "everybody's gotta have everything and then some"

If GW or FW ever actually expanded on these faction, you'd bet that they'd get some original shit both lore and crunchwise. The two page description of a Cathay army in the Tamurkhan book had way more inventive shit than the entire Cathay fanbook.

Both Empire, Kislev and Bretonnia are obviously inspired by real world stuff, but they still have plenty of nuances and units that distinguish them from their real world source.

Archaon should win any 1v1 in the game, unfortunately he doesn't even if he costs a lot already

He has 40 armor
He gets rekt by magical attacks

What is Green Knight power level in the lore? Similar to Aborash?

As much as a different start pos for vamps would be nice I'm getting tired of them. Empire is in most need of a freshening up yet they're continuously left untouched.

Thanks to TWW warhammer fantasy is extremely popular now, more popular than it ever was
GW might regret for killing it right now

Depends on the author, as always.

I mean at least we are getting decent vidya in the mean time.

Yeah, TWW really was bad timing for GW trying to get AoS up and running

Except that one source that claimed it was doing 35% of GW's buisness right now.

profits went up during a time 40k was in a slump because AoS isn't doing badly. 95% of people who bitch about fantasy being dead never bought a single army book, let alone model.

Imagine being Vlad Von Carstein in Sylvania and having to be all like "damn, Isabella Von Carstein, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your undead body but obvious disinterest in me. I'm trying my hardest to please you and it's clearly not enough." when all he really wants is to force to elector counts of the various provinces of the Empire to bend knee to him. Like, seriously imagine having to be Vlad and not only sit in that throne while Isabella Von Carstein flaunts her hot body behind your back in multiple affairs, her lies barely concealing her treacherous acts and the marks of another lover on her skin and just sit there, war after war, hour after hour, trying to perfect your Necromancy. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous betrayals of your trust, but her haughty attitude as everyone in Sylvania tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, ISABELLA VON CARSTEIN LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and fake a happy marriage to an adulterous woman, each day bringing news of a new lover. You've been fucking nothing because you've been busy FORGING AN EMPIRE for her out of counties whose leaders allegedly "disappeared" for most of your undeath. You've never felt any betrayal this strongly before, and now you swear you can taste the sperm of another man splashed across those perfect tits she keeps barely concealed, smugly assured that you are too busy with your politicing to take advantage of her "chaste (for that is what she claims to be) beauty, the beauty she gained only because you deigned to give her the dark embrace. 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 Vlad von Carstein. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. You wish you could hide your face, but you bear it.

>95% of people who bitch about fantasy being dead never bought a single army book, let alone model.


I thought you didn't do statistics GW

Nobody really knows. Bretonnian fluff is patchy and inconsistent because they were literally untouched from 2004 to 2016.

Or, consider that TWW got made because GW killed fantasy as a mainstream game. They don't like close replications of the TT game get made. Then all of a sudden they let one happen just when they coincidentally get rid of it?

nah this is them saying "yeah cool, we're happy with you doing it cuz it's not a mainstay game anymore"

They might bring it back as a specialist game if it gets particularly popular, just write an alternative end to end times.

What went so wrong in your life, user, that you can't stop yourself from inserting your cuckoldry fetish into everything?

> What is Shogun 2?
What the hell are nauticans?
Back to the coffin, Manfred

CHIVALRY IZ ALL!

He is one of best fighters in Old World, Abhorash swore allegiance to him.

Vlad von cuckstein

t. Mannlet

Considering what happened in End Times if GW had updated Bretonnian fluff he might be on par with Tyrion.

>nauticans

99% sure they're the brainchild of one autistic neckbeard's fever dreams, but the fandex is of consistently high quality and gets lumped with Ind/Cathay/Nippon as a result. Development blog was last updated in 2012.

Green Knight is kind of hard to say. he can be beaten by Questing Knights, but that doesn't mean he fights at full power. Seeing how he is an immortal spirit demi-god, I doubt any Vampire is on a level with him in straight up combat.

>95% of people who bitch about fantasy being dead never bought a single army book, let alone model.
Nice market research redshirt

Just got the humble bundle. Is there any way to get myself the DLCs for free with some good ol' piracy? I ain't paying 50 bucks

It's a random number nigga, but considering how many people bitch about it online you would expect that fantasy would have managed to not be a huge loss to produce. Unless of course you had a bunch of people who literally just downloaded army books and talked about it a bunch and never played the damn game.

And nigga I -know- what suffering feels like, I was a bretonnian player on TT.

You got the game for a fraction of the original cost but you're still too much of a jew to pay for DLC?

Fuck off asking for help then, fag.

So apparently it's Dominae Vult and not Deus Vult for Bretonnia.

google creamapi

and fuck this guy, Sega's DLC practices are hebrew as fuck. Those DLC are twice as expensive as they should be, regardless of how much you got the game for.

How would you feel if I told you that was AoE 3 artwork and a fanmade armybooK?

Yeah it's scummy and jewish unless its completely free user, fight the power, anarchy ftw xd

>twice as expensive
>LUL YOU WANT EVERYTHING FREE HUH?

Fuck off with your non-existent reading comprehension, faggot.

I know it's fanmade. And it being from AoE3 doesn't matter one bit. The art is still really good.

But his healthpool is decent though, around twice a banshee and a little higher than grimgor

Twice as expensive as what? Your arbitrary made up price-standard for DLC? Convenient of you to make the reasonable price half of what CA is asking, would be hard to make your retardedly shitty argument otherwise.

Just buy king and warlord and maybe wood elves.

>be my sister
>living in Brettonia
>large peasant community and population, causing all kinds of problems
>peasants are known for being hungry and desperate to break into houses
>sister is in bed one night and hears a noise

>dinner leftovers that were left on the table are missing

Peasants are fucking dumb

>got game to do co-op campaign with friend
>but work takes a lot of my daily hours
>friend is unemployed
>already played more than 50h of the game
>over 60 achievements unlocked

Fucking how?

Rejoice! For a Knight of Bretonnia provides your shield.

its not that hard , in my grand campaign as the empire i literraly unlocked 38% of achievements

It just seems weird. Are achievements that easily unlocked? They don't mean shit to me really, it's just... he's got more achievements than hours he's played.

>deletes his post but doesn't bother spellchecking Bretonnia
>be my sister makes no fucking sense

You could have summarised that shit in like two or three meme-arrows, user.

NAGASH WHEN?

Lizardmen when?

Feel free to upmeme it laddie.

hey thats me!

>aboriginals

Your edit needs some proofreading, lad.

>Twice as expensive as what? Your arbitrary made up price-standard for DLC?
As they are. I know reading comprehension is a skill you lack, but keep up, boy. Maybe if you stopped huffing paint, you'd have the braincells left to figure that out.

>Convenient of you to make the reasonable price half of what CA is asking, would be hard to make your retardedly shitty argument otherwise.
Because half of what they're asking for sounds reasonable, you fucking troglodyte. Of course that's "convenient" for my "shitty argument" that anyone who isn't a fucking Shekelstein would agree with.

There's your (you). Maybe now that your life goal of LE EBIN I WAS JUST PRETENDIN' TO BE RETARDED GOT EEEM has been fulfilled, you can kill yourself and let someone who isn't a fucking retard inhale the oxygen you're wasting.

I had no idea snakes hunted together like that.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FUCKING SNAKES HOLY SHIT?

...

Considering how triggered your faggot ass is getting over this it seems I was right. Maybe stop being such a whiny baby over DLC and find yourself a hobby that doesn't require you to spend your autismbux. You're a minority no one gives a fuck about. Go back to making negative reviews on steam instead you autistic manchild.

Are they actually hunting "together", or did they all just smell food? Snakes like, swallow their food whole right? Not exactly able to share.

Updates on the deepest mod
>that pic

Got some heavy nostalgia right now.

Doesn't make sense though.

Lady of the Lake, i.e. that elf goddess, had a huge thing for preferring humans over elves.

A lot of them are things like build x building, or win 5 battles in campaign as this faction.

I have 91% of them unlocked, only reason i dont have 100% is because i cant stomach playing the Dwarfs for long enough to win a campaign.

This guy still adding stuff?

t. CA
Just because you can charge people outrageous prices doesn't mean you should

That documentary is goddamn awesome.

Shame about the sound effects they added. Feels like one of those shitty american shows where everyone is acting super dramatic and there's always some upbeat music. Like Ice Road Truckers. Jesus fuck what missed potential.

God fucking dammit I quoted the wrong post. It couldn't be worse.

Meant thisYes

But you saw the way more than one of them tried to wrap themselves around the lizard.

Fair enough. Most of his stuff seems to revolve around rushing to other places and razing the shit out of them, including those [Build up something in this and that province] kind of achievements.

Faggot's playing a lot on autoresolve, I'll never stop busting his balls for that.

I wish i'm the Elf

All of this projection. Nice to see you have nothing left to fall back on so you resort to y-your an au-au-autist, user! g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-got eeem.
Also love the thought that you think i'm triggered, like I'm not sitting here smirking like my boy Vlad at how mad you are.

Okay EIDF.

>But you saw the way more than one of them tried to wrap themselves around the lizard.
Yeah bro, that's why I'm asking. Are they working together or competing.

>The snakes were even eating each other
>“Some of it was quite horrific. Because actually the snakes are not pack hunting – for the snakes, it’s very much every snake for themselves. We did see snakes eating other snakes and all fighting. We were like nah, that can’t go in. It’s too horrific!”

I think it's like sharks in the water, or americans in an all you can eat buffet.

How am I elf defense force for just pointing out that an elf goddess prefers humans over elves?

Dunno.

>n-n-no you
>I-I-I'm actually s-smirking
Newsflash, pricing doesn't bother me one bit. I have no reason to be mad, you do. Only digging yourself a deeper hole, as to be expected from autistic manbabies of course, but still. Could save yourself the embarrassment and stop posting.

They don't, no reptiles do. They're fucking retarded and are among the dumbest goddamn animals on the planet.

reverse image search might need some tweaks, i can't say i remember this in the lineups

>had a huge thing for preferring humans over elves.

Now I know how /pol/ must feel when they see Blacked.

>They're fucking retarded

I heard crocodiles or whatever are the dumbest of them all

Maybe I should start watching Cartoon network again.

That said, elfs are not for raping because chivalry is all.

If you have no reason to be mad, you wouldn't have gotten your fuccboi panties in a bunch when someone else called out the DLC pricing. You were so mad you couldn't even read my posts correctly and assumed I though the DLC needed to be free. You just flew straight into an aspie rage and opened that reply box without a second thought or any sort of legitimate argument in mind. Maybe you should turn around and realize the only one who's an embarrassment here is you, mate.

I know AoS is shit and I don't like it, but I'm just using that to point out how she made sure that every Elf in the Old World stayed there to sacrifice themselves, die to the last fighting Chaos, so that the humans she chose would have some peace before Chaos came after them in the new world.

out of all of those i would say albion, chaos dwarves, kislev and norse are the most viable options, with maybe estalia and araby
