Summary:
Saga title is a spiritual successor to Rome 2. Some are guessing the map will be Britannia.
Campaign pack coming up for a past history title, probably Rome 2.
Next big history game is a setting they've never done before. Will feature "important character relations that occur between the major personalities in the game."

Last thread:Screenshot sharing and campaign posting encouraged!

First for Malekith is the true phoenix king

>How does it compare to the ‘Russian datamine’ map that did the rounds after Warhammer 1 shipped?
>Pretty bang-on to be honest.

Ind, Cathay, and Nippon posters BTFO.

Skaven are the best, death to all the rest!

D I E S T R O S

>Ind, Cathay, and Nippon
Why people thought we would get these in the first place is beyond me.

>Hung Warband

The old world factions in the vortex campaign don't get access to their high tier units, right? I'm wondering how stupid that ironbreaker RoR will be given that a lot of units have received pretty big HP buffs

Ready for a monster hunt?

>White Lions of Chrace

>sic 2 t rexes on the enemy lord
>he just dies like a bitch

I'm sure they do if you own them, why wouldn't they?

>King's Bodyguard got turned into some bland mid-level chaff

I haven't seen any high tier Empire or Dwarf units in campaign

At least they look good

Truly the best memes.

ASSRAYS

DON'T EVER TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO. EVER!

I've configured a pretty great multi-tier impenetrable defensive formation that almost effortlessly slaughters anyone who attacks it

>1221 killed
>12 lost

I've made it

Norsca port when?
Will it be ready for ME?

Holy shit Lustria and Africa got fucking slashed
How will TK even fit?

How did we go from this...

>Vashnaar's Conquest

They really upped their game for TWWH2.

>edgy elves can't beat a bunch of lizards with smaller lizards on them

>is nothing more than the child of Aenarions side pussy
>got rejected by the flames
He has one of the greatest vengeance stories of all time, but he's no pheonix king

Because they are more interesting than chorves and ogres

...to this?

I think it is because most people assume that TWWH3 introducing four new armies that are just different aspects of Chaos will be extremely boring. Especially if they just add the Dark Lands.

Age of Reckoning is overrated. It wasn't even a good MMO.

>arr rook same
>more interesting than chorves and ogres
kys

What's interesting about them? What actual info is there about them that isn't "they're fantasy asian countries"?

Really shame about that game. I greatly enjoyed Shrek'ing RUIN on Darkcrag.

Bad example, the black guard are easily one of the dark elves best looking units in game. I wish the executioners had their old helms, but these golden faces are growing on me

He's managed to rule a nation of backstabbing traitors who worship the god of murder for 6000 years or so.
You gotta give him that.

I assume they're extending southwards a bit more than what we see. Kroq'gar's supposedly not being moved and I'm pretty sure his position is cut off that map

Ogres
Chorfs
A billion Chaos variants

Golgfag leads the good guy faction if someone's looking for that

>Shogun 2 in Warhammer wouldn't be fun
Why must you be so stupid?

>Abominations

if they are the phoenix king's bodyguard what are phoenix guard?

All warhammer games are "over rated". Warhammer fans have almost nothing in the video game department, so they always go nuts over anything that gets released, despite the fact that most of the time the games suck.

What lore should my first skink priest be?

Silent monks that fap in their shrines.

Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat is still a masterpiece.

NOIGHT GOBBO WARBOSS

there just isnt anything on those factions compared to chorves or ogres.
while there are plenty of fantasy stereotypes and fairytales to work off of, it would be all of CA's own creation and none of GW.

They protect the Shrine of Asuryan.

Heavens is better, not that Beasts is bad or anything

also the summon manticore spell is bugged

Don't get me wrong I fuckin love malekith and the dark elves, they are the most metal faction in the game. But ya gotta admit he really doesn't have claim to the throne as phoenix king.

Of course based on what I've seen he has no intention of ruling as phoenix king, amd wants to rebuild ulthuan in his own image of witch king, and I can respect that

>The Scourge of Aquitaine

"SOME SKINKS WERE SPAWNED"

>He doesn't think Shogun 2 and FotS were some of the best TW there is
exotic beastmen, khornate samurai, and basically the S2 roster, and what you would expect from india and china. There is more but I'm not a warhammer loremaster.

Are there any Heavens spells that I shouldn't bother getting?

Lore of heavens has more useful options but beasts isn't bad at all, flock of doom in particular can be very strong

I think it was a good mmo
camping the top of a tower with a shield wall and spamming was fun siege gameplay


i was feeling sad it no longer existed just yesterday

High elves look good, black guards of niggerond have lower quality textures and less variety

Come to think of it, what is the worst mainstream lore of magic now anyways? Metal?

Vanilla S2 is literally more interesting than chaos dwarves or ogres

Probably Fire/Shadow, not that they're actually bad

Roiling Skies isn't worth it because nobody has any good fliers except for Helves, also it doesn't apply to flying units that are on the ground which makes it extra useless

Everything else is good, comet is still great, as is chain lightning

They're all so samey, it barely matters

I don't think High Magic is very good

check out return of reckoning

You take that back I need my Chawi.

BOSS OF DEM NOIGHT GOBLINS

>Chawi

That's Dawi Zharr to you, hatling.

>rvr game with like 10 players
WAR no longer exists.

this is retarded, they could have halfed norsca and canada to add more africa and south america

What kind of monster you want senpai

>provinces with strategic buildings are uninhabitable for your faction
>you can't even preview the building to see if it's worth it
JUST

Is flock of doom a meme? It looked good but Ive never gotten kills from it, even on beat up routing blobs of ratshits.

>the strongest dragon and as a result one of the strongest creatures in the setting
>a retarded overgrown rat
no surprises here

>20XX
>Total Warhammer 3 comes out
>Combines all previous maps with new one
>Main story is about trying to stop Archaon
>It's a trick, you can't stop Archaon
>Game ends just like the End Times
>TOTAL WARHAMMER: AGE OF SIGMAR is announced

>>Vashnaar's Conquest
Can we all agree that this is the most op rogue army in the game?

...

I tried it out a few months back and got into a 50+ man siege. Looked pretty busy to me.

Nah, Scourge of Aquitaine takes the hat with his 19 Grail Knight stacks.

Danke

...

>Play Throgg
>use option to usurp Archaon
>The universe is saved by a troll

BRYOND YOUR COMPHREHENSION

...

Best to Worst:

Life
Heavens
Light
Death
Beasts
Metal
Shadow
Fire

>Not colonizing absolutely everything
What a little bitch

Did his composition get updated? Last I saw him he had pegasus knights and blood knights as well

I went full on conquest and ignored the vortex on my VH Malekith run, finishing at turn 238. Is the dark elf vortex fluff any good?

Sun Dragon breath:2200 damage
Moon:2900
Star:3200
Black:2400 + noxious gas for 20 seconds (-30 reload skill, -30% melee attack)
Terrorgheist:750, take cover debuff (-8 leadership for 10 seconds)
Zombie:1400, Noxious gas (same as black)

No Forest or Chaos dragons avaiable

Just do it so you can see

This fucking guy.

>tfw you're watching the streamer you always watch for cinematic warhammer battles and he says mid battle he uses radious.

W'soran pls
CA pls

Radious is the perfect mod for a stream watching redditor like you

Terrorgheist need a buff senpai

>go to war with multiple skaven factions at once
>every single fucking lizard in the world wants to enter into an alliance immediately
>accept
>destroy skaven together
>lizards start fighting each other
>have to pick which one to support
>"You are this faction's only ally."

N A G A S H W A S W E A K

Yeah, I saw plenty of variations in his army.

Are Chameleon Skinks better than Skink Skirmishers?

Yes

That game has constant people on. Wtf are you on about?

...

Depends, do you think stalk and 40% less missile damage is worthwhile?
