tfw no qt dreadlord gf

HAHAHHA here we GO again, another round of stale memes and shitposting.
another round of tomb kangz,meme rats, meme goblins, le ebin vlad, and etcetera.

I'm fucking tired of this general, you autists are the absolute bane of this board, holy shit I would stomp every single one of you meme spouting neckbeards in a second with my bare hands.
For the love of god stop posting these memes, I'm tired, I just want to discuss Total War and not have to scroll trough a wall of memes.
Enough is enough.

OP is a faggot that butchered the pasta

Okay, okay, settle down. Which of the Helf dragons will be the one most worth using?

horned rat > smegmar

Then discuss total war and don't whine you fucking crybaby

I think Im going to try a WRE game without abandoning any provinces.
What are my chances of glory /twg/

Not sure how much longer this absolutely legendary lad is going to last - He truly has been a King of Kings. He expanded the Sassanid territories north when the Tanukhid's de-stabilized the area, and dealt with other various rebellions and incursions before even being made the heir. He personally lead the campaign responsible for breaking the back of the ERE and securing the Sassanid's supremacy in the east, and fought in many great battles while doing so

>pious

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.

Is there a mod for TWW that changes arrow impact sounds to something more like Shogun 2's? Whilst replaying Shogun I fucking love how impactful archers feel, that wall of flying death as each visible arrow cascades into a cacophony of blood and gore, satisfying thuds even as the arrows miss there target. I'm not pissed off when they miss in that game.

How do I get off to a good start with Vlad? He's Sylvania's only good ruler, and the only vamp count I could feel alright playing as

Very good, if you know what areas are problematic and what the standard operating procedure is. Generally certain settlements will be barbar invasion magnets, so if you can stop incursions there through masterful use of garrison scout equites you should be able to survive. In my WRE campaign the only provinces I ended up losing were the city closest to the ERE in pannonia (i think) and the river town right on the rhine. Get used to fighting in defense of Camulodunum if you wish to hold onto Britain

how?

Iirc I went for campaign movement and then troll buffs before anything else

bully mannlet

Is it better to put points into Melee Defense, or better to put points into Armor? I know what they do, I just don't know which one is the objectively better pick.

Melee defense unless your armor is utter shit.

>sotek and sigmar take turns shoving the horned loser's head into lockers in the spiritual realm/whatever the fuck it is in wh

Can't wait to remove rats in twwh2

Star>Moon>Sun is the Dragon powerlevel scale

>Major Race Pack #2: Daemons
That's just stupid

They'll have to include some good guys for TWW3

Well thanks to ET and AOS its Slaanesh who ends up foreverially pushed into a locker by the elves while the rats try to steal his spot in the pantheon, and the lizards foil them at every turn

>they'll offer a TWW1 race pack for TWW3 pre order

do people actually buy this crap?

It's not THAT stupid considering daemons should be pouring out for the Vortex rituals, not fucking Chaos Warriors.

They offered a TWW1 race pack for a TWW2 pre-order

:^)

It worked for 2, I can see it working again

Melee defense generally gives you better returns

this, no way they release an all chaos/villain roster

Yes, because 2 was the sequel to 1. 3 is going to be the sequel to 2. Do you not see the difference here? If anything, they'll offer a pre-order bonus for 2.

HAHAHHA here we GO again, another round of stale memes and shitposting.
another round of tomb kangz,meme rats, meme goblins, le ebin vlad, and etcetera.
I'm fucking tired of this general, you autists are the absolute bane of this board, holy shit I would shove my rat dick down your throat and force you to guzzle my vermin seed, all while my tail forces its way up your ass.
For the love of god stop posting these memes, I'm tired, I just want to discuss Total War and not have to scroll trough a wall of memes.
Enough is enough.

You don't need armor if you never get hit

I'm assuming Kislev/Ogres will fit that slot. TWW3 is going to be interesting because the leaks imply that it will be chaos focused, and the most natural way to do that and fit with the 4 base factions/game deal that 1/2 have is one faction per god, but then you have to add in chorfs and ogres who don't mesh in well with a 100% chaotic expansion. So then the question is which races are in as base ones and which ones are dlc

>no Nagash

boi

I'm more and more convinced Cathay will make an appearance in TWW3.

Tell me about the helf dragons and which ones are the good ones. Why do the Helves have so many elemental variations for their beasties.

That's Arkhan's endgame reward.

>2377 - The Monkey King seizes power in Cathay. He installs Warlord Kishkik of Clan Eshin as an advisor, and begins trade with the Skaven Under-Empire.[20d]

what the fuck is going on in the east

Monkey business

nothing good

>there's even a Sun Wukong counterpart in Warhammer

Daemons of Chaos (Khorne/Tzeentch LL), Ogres, Kislev, Chorfs

Nurgle + Slaanesh DLC
Hobgoblin DLC

Literally no one wants fucking Nagash but you. Nagash isn't a faction, he's a fucking meme and he was WEAK

sure, if you stop posting cropped furry porn

> entire army list for Hobgoblins
For what purpose?

> Appointing a Skaven advisor

I can probably think of worse things to do, but it'd take a while.

>meme elves are no longer in the list

End of an era, and just embarrassing with WH2 around the corner

At least the best elf poster is trying, high elves may as well not exist

Who says its porn? I feel insulted

>Nurgle + Slaanesh DLC

This is the problem tho, the chaos gods are a package, I don't see CA having some in and some out on release.

>Hobgoblin DLC
I want this so much

WH lacks a proper horsefucker-esque faction. Hung or Hobgobbos would be the best choice with rosters similar to r2 nomads

G O B L I N S

t.mannlet

Nagash as an end game threat can work, he doesn't need to be a faction.

There's no fur in any of those images, now tell me which dragon/phoenix will be the better choice for what purpose

Has anyone tried the advanced ai mod?
>steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1120180673

>WH lacks a proper horsefucker-esque faction
>What is Brettonia

Skaven?

More like GAYven

>I don't see CA having some in and some out on release.

I totally do, or have you forgotten Chaos itself was a DLC

Star>Moon>Sun
Frost>Fire

> Hung or Hobgobbos
Kurgans are a similar option but actually have named characters

Hobgobs are obviously going to be units for THE MIGHTY DAWI ZHARR

I was about to start a greenskin "full cheevo" run, so might aswell do it with this mod.
Gonna report back later.

>>What is Brettonia
Not Horsefucker in the traditional r2 nomad/parthia/hun sense, bringing all cav armies focused heavily on mounted ranged components

I know, but I can hope for a faction that is all wolfs all the time

>not compatiable with SFO

Probably won't use it. I wish it did though since SFO Kislev always seems to rape the Empire backwards before being BTFO by chaos because they burnt themselves out on killing Empire states rather than raiding norsca.

dont hurt rat feelings

Joke's on them, Sigmar just ended up an Incarnate. Horned Rat is legit Chaos God now.

I'm a saurus and I fap to this video daily

...

is this porn?

...

>implying medieval cataphracts are horsefuckers
Nah son, horse archers are horsefuckers. Y'know, steppe people.

Cry about it Queer Headgiver

now do 100,000 more

>Skaven Campaign Intro

The only time armour wins is when your lord is getting focused down by missiles. When was the last time that happened?

but god forbid someone post a dragon making a face, right everyone?

>tfw no proper Marienburg roster of sellswords

>tfw we'll never get to siege this with land and naval forces

>No chill WH crpg or shitty overproduced open world game
>No 40k game by just cause devs where you play an ork kommando

Yes, it's good. AI is being a whole lot more aggressive compared to vanilla AI and it feels like there's more going on in the world.

G O B L I N S

The fact a proper Dark Heresy game doesnt exist yet is a crime against humanity

Will its armies still do the vanilla thing where they run around just outside your range and NEVER EVER FACE YOU IN THE FIELD AND EITHER HIDE IN SETTLEMENTS OR JUST RUN DEEPER INTO YOUR TERRITORY SACKING UNDEFENDED SETTLEMENTS AS THEY ERODE INTO NOTHINGNESS GOD DAMMIT FACE ME COWARDS

You are a bright light shining in the dark. Thank you.

It would be even more neat if it was randomized between the two.

For your typical melee cav that AREN'T shock cav, like the Chaos Knights or the Elf deer guys, is the idea that you kinda just flank with them, attack from the side and leave them in combat from behind attacking? I've been playing them like micro manage shock cav and just rushing them in and out to charge over and over but i dont know if its better to put them in and leave them or not

>No M&B-inspired Dark Crusade game

I suppose, the brettonians REALLY like their horses though. I guess its just different levels

>so much amazing potential for Warhammer vidya
>the kikes at GW refuse to license to anyone

It's such a shame

They're for murdering archers while Shock Cav are for murdering charging into stuff that's engaged in melee to break them

That's not the case at all anymore, literally anybody can get a Warhammer license. There's so many shit-tier mobile games that stand testament to it

elf deer cav should be used as shock cav, their strength is their impact damage vs lighter targets/their charge bonus

Chaos Knights w/o lances are closer to what you are talking about, since they have fuckhueg armor and pretty good melee stats

By the comet!

It's not as bad as vanilla for that and will take even or slightly worse trades in the field but don't expect anyone to try take on your 19 steam tank army. Also why aren't you building walls in every settlement?

Norsca doesn't get walls in every settlement

Buy the comic!

seems kinda weir all the poor of the city have to pass through the old money ward to visit a temple.

What goes on in Elftown?
Why is nippontown literally right beside the palace? How many Nippons are there in Marienburg? It's on the other side of the world there should be only one or two nippons even in marienburg.
Knife Alley is much larger then a single alley

Fair enough.
